Siyu returned home and saw that her mother and father were not at home. She asked her younger siblings where her parents had gone. Grandpa said that they had been called over there. They said that your uncle's family wanted to divorce your aunt. Siyu didn't understand. Why would she go there when they had already severed the relationship? Grandpa said, "Girl? Your parents and your grandparents and uncles have severed the relationship, but your aunt and her family have not. Besides, the grain is broken and the tendons are still connected. Your uncle's job as a clerk in the government office is not easy. Siyu, is it because of the last time the relationship was severed?" Grandpa said, "Yes, your uncle is the eldest in the family. Your grandfather passed away early, so he is the head of the family. He didn't do what the head of the family should do. Instead, because of petty favors, he caused family discord and brothers to fall out. Such a person can't even manage his own family, so how can he serve the court? A man should first learn to rectify his mind, cultivate himself, manage his family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world." His mind is not right. He doesn't need to cultivate himself. He must first cultivate himself and lead by example...

Your third uncle failed the imperial examination this time, and without your parents and siblings to help him, the children and adults from several families are fighting each other. And your eldest aunt has always been looked down upon by her mother-in-law because she gave birth to three daughters. Now when she heard that your family has started a braised food business, selling bean sprouts and black fungus, how could she not be jealous? So your eldest aunt came back crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to commit suicide, insisting on asking your father and mother to come. There was no way they could do anything but come to your father and mother over and over again, so I went to take a look. Don't worry, girl, your father and mother are not the honest and cowardly people they used to be. Now they have learned to protect themselves. What's more, your father has been practicing martial arts since he was 8 years old, and you have been teaching him for so long, and your mother knows it herself, so the people in the old house dare not do anything to your parents. Talk to grandpa, have you finished your wasteland here? Siyu replied, Grandpa was just about to tell you about this. The sweet potato seedlings in the wasteland have been prepared, and the potato seeds have been planted. We have 500 mu of wasteland. Our village originally had a river, and our wasteland is not far from the river, more than a thousand meters away. Now I want to use the land near the river to make some paddy fields. Let's grow some rice. Good farmland is hard to buy. We can open up some ourselves, but I'm not very good at planning. Grandpa, if you have time, please help me watch over them and find a suitable place to open up the fields. Grandpa said, if we open up paddy fields, how will the water get to the land? Without water, it's not really a paddy field. Siyu, Grandpa, please let them open the fields first. As for the water problem, I'll think of other ways. So, the old man happily agreed with a smile, "Okay, okay, okay, okay. Grandpa thought I was going to be a useless person and let you support me at home! It's good to have a job for me. I can also chat with these folks and help you with some work.

As the father and mother were talking, there was a commotion outside. Siyu opened the door to see her parents returning, followed by an unexpected visitor. They were none other than her eldest aunt and Bai Shuya, whom Siyu had met since she was eleven years old. The eldest aunt entered the yard, her eyes darting around. She looked up at Siyu, scrutinizing her from head to toe, as if she were examining merchandise. Siyu was like a priceless commodity. She saw the disdain and disdain in her eldest aunt's eyes, but she paid no mind. This eldest aunt, with her eyes so high in the air, never came to her for no reason. Let's see what she had up her sleeve. Meanwhile, the eldest aunt, passing everyone else, wore a condescending air. After inspecting the front and back yards, they finally reached the construction site. Seeing the nearly completed building, she was delighted. She wanted to go to the workshop again, but Siyu stopped her, saying it was dirty and not allowed in. The eldest aunt rolled her eyes, displeased. "You silly girl, I'm your aunt, and you're disrespectful to your elders. I'm going in to see what's going on, and you're not afraid to see." I am not allowed to go in and take a look, Siyu looked up at his father and mother, and his father and mother shook their heads at Siyu. Siyu knew that his parents did not agree to let him go in, but he was shameless and wanted to go in and take a look. Siyu said, "Aunt, you'd better not go in, stay outside!" But Bai Zhenzhen didn't think so. The more you stop me, the more I want to go in and see what secrets are inside. You are hiding it and not letting me see it, but I have to go in and take a look. So Bai Zhenzhen rushed in regardless of the obstruction. Not even a moment after he went in, he ran out and squatted under a tree nearby and started vomiting violently. Siyu suppressed the little joy in his heart and held back his laughter. He walked up to Bai Zhenzhen and said, "Aunt, I told you not to go in, but you didn't believe me. Wouldn't it be very dirty if you went in? It would smell bad, wouldn't it! You still don't believe it." Bai Zhenzhen was so angry that she gritted her teeth and really wanted to slap her, but she still had a task to complete and could not lose her temper. So she suppressed her anger, raised her head and said to Siyu, "You girl, it's so dirty here, why didn't you say it earlier?" This made her aunt feel uncomfortable and vomit. Siyu said innocently, "Why didn't I stop you? Didn't you insist on going to see it? I stopped you, but you still think I have some secrets that I won't let you see!" Bai Zhenzhen was so angry that her eyes were bloodshot and she really wanted to beat this stinky girl. Although Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, she was powerless. So a few people wanted to go to the next workshop. Siyu stopped him and said that her aunt should not go, otherwise she would vomit again after coming out. Bai Zhenzhen thought about the scene she saw in the first workshop and couldn't help but take two steps back. She thought to herself, why do they have to do those smelly and dirty things? These people are like they are crazy.

Siyu let him into the house, and her parents were a little embarrassed. They were angry and wanted to drive him away, but they couldn't. They could only swallow their anger and go into the house to chat with him. After everyone was seated, the eldest aunt began to talk about this and that, and finally talked about the braised food business, as well as the soybean sprouts, fungus and puppets. Bai Qingyuan and Lan Niang couldn't answer. Siyu said that I made all this for others, and I was just managing things for others. The recipes and methods were all other people's. I was just watching over a workshop for others. Bai Zhenzhen didn't believe it, and curled her lips and said, Siyu girl, you are not honest. After all, we are flesh and blood relatives, connected by blood. How can you be on the side of outsiders? Auntie is just asking if there is anything you can't say. No matter how good the outsider is, outsiders can't have an aunt who loves you. Siyu lowered her head, picked up the teacup and curled her lips, "Aunt bullshit! If the eldest aunt really treated us as family, why didn't she see you, her dear aunt, when we were in trouble and had no place to live? The elders and villagers all knew about it, and they sent us some necessary supplies and lent us money to help us get through the critical moment. What are you, my dear sister and dear aunt, doing! Who knows what she is secretly enjoying on the sidelines, and now she comes to show her courtesy, who knows what her purpose is! Siyu's thoughts lasted only a moment. She raised her head and said to the eldest aunt with a smile, "Aunt, haven't you eaten yet? Why don't you stay here and eat? I'll go and cook a few dishes for you." The eldest aunt said, "You are still our Siyu director. Bai Zhenzhen, I didn't want to leave in the first place. I wanted to stay here for a few days. Siyu, eldest aunt, you see, we only have a few small thatched huts, there is really no place for you to stay." Bai Zhenzhen started to play the victim, "Your eldest uncle, that damn guy, actually wants to divorce me." This time, I have to teach him a lesson. I want your father and your eldest, second, and third uncles to give him a beating and teach him a lesson. Let him know that our Bai family has support. I have four brothers and more than ten nephews. Why should I be afraid of him? What's wrong with me giving birth to three daughters? The daughters are also the blood of their Feng family, and he dared to divorce me. I'm only in my 30s and can still have children? As she spoke, she actually started to cry. At this time, even the strongest woman is fragile and has weaknesses.

Siyu knew that although he was crying out of genuine sadness, his purpose in coming here was definitely not simple. He cried heartbreakingly, but his emotions and words were half-truths. She still had to be careful. Siyu asked her father and mother to stay in the house while she went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. When Siyu left, Bai Shuya quietly followed her out, grabbed her wrist, and asked, "Where's Master Zhou? Why haven't I seen Master Zhou lately? Where did he go?" Siyu looked up at Bai Shuya and asked, "Master Zhou, what do you want to do with Master Zhou?" Bai Shuya said arrogantly, "Why do you care what I want to do with him? What does it have to do with you? I'm just wondering, you're a dark, skinny, short, ugly bastard, why do you want to dominate a man like Master Zhou who is so handsome, elegant, and graceful? You're a country bumpkin who can't play the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting. How can you have the nerve to stand with Master Zhou? I'm not looking down on you, but can you compare with me?" What should I say? I am also the daughter of a scholar. I have been learning poetry and books since I was young. My father will pass the imperial examination and become an official in the future. I can also read and write. Who do you think you are? You can't read a single word. You are just a mud-legged peasant who digs for food in the soil. You are relying on the fact that you saved Mr. Zhou. How dare you get close to Mr. Zhou? If you have sense, I tell you, stay away from Mr. Zhou in the future. Mr. Zhou is mine. Siyu looked at Bai Shuya as if she were a fool. She thought this was really ridiculous. She had seen many people who daydream, but she had never seen such a thing. What a joke, Siyu asked, you said Mr. Zhou is yours, so he is yours. Did he agree to it? Who are you? You come to order me, and you say I have to listen to you? What a joke. You are really like a pig sticking chicken feathers on a pig. You only see others' faults but not yourself's? Bai Shuya said angrily, who are you scolding? Siyu said, who should scold who!

Bai Shuya said angrily, "Don't worry about it. As long as you don't pester Mr. Zhou, he will definitely be fascinated by me. I hope you can be more sensible and don't think that you are so great just because you run a small business or open a small workshop. In the end, you are just a lowly businessman who can't be put on the stage. How can you compare with a family of scholars?"
