My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

After returning home, Kong Xiufang was so excited about Ji Yunshuang's prescription that she almost couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, she went to her family's shop as soon as it was light.

There were only a few scattered people standing in front of her shop, while a long queue stretched out in front of the shop across the street.

Looking at the bustling scene at the shop across the street, her mother sighed as usual, while her father's eyes were filled with hatred.

Upon seeing his daughter, Kong Yuanshan frowned and said unhappily, "Hasn't that Fang family brat finished handling things yet?"

"Father, that matter is alright." She took out the leftover pastries that Fang Zijian had brought yesterday and gave them to her father, saying, "Try them."

Kong Yuanshan frowned unhappily, but when he met his daughter's expectant gaze, he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. As soon as he took a bite, the displeasure and worry on his face vanished instantly, and he asked excitedly, "Where did you get this?"

Kong Xiufang recounted the origin of the pastries, then said with great joy, "With that recipe, our pastry shop will be able to beat the shop across the street and continue doing business, right?"

"More than that! If we had this recipe, it wouldn't be impossible for us to open a shop in the inner city and do business with high-ranking officials and nobles!"

Kong Yuanshan was thinking of defeating the shop across the street, forcing it to close down. He then opened a shop in the inner city amidst the resentful and envious gazes of the other shop owner, and from then on, he rose to prominence. He was so happy that he wanted to dance with joy.

Kong Xiufang said, "That's what I think too."

"If only your brother were as easy to take care of as you!"

Thinking about how his son went out to do business but not only failed to make money but also offended people and lost all the family's wealth, he felt regret again, wondering why Xiufang wasn't a boy.

Xiufang is so smart and capable, and he's a boy. How could he possibly lose the Kong family's fortune?

Hearing her father mention her brother again, a flash of resentment crossed Kong Xiufang's eyes, but she quickly lowered her gaze, concealing the hatred in her eyes, and spoke up for her brother, saying, "Brother was just unlucky this time."

Kong Yuanshan waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about that annoying thing. The most important thing now is to get the prescription."

"After I found out yesterday, I immediately went to Shuanghe Village," Kong Xiufang said, her voice full of grievance. "I brought all the pocket money I had saved over the years, but the refugee seemed to think it wasn't enough... and he even scolded me."

Upon hearing this, Kong Yuanshan angrily said, "They're just a bunch of homeless refugees. She thinks twenty taels of silver isn't enough? I think she's just taking advantage of your young age and thinking you're easy to bully, so she's deliberately raising the price. You wait, I'll go talk to her."

Kong Xiufang quickly stopped him, saying, "Father, don't worry, I've already asked that boy from the Fang family to handle this."

Kong Yuanshan, twitching his short beard, said, "That kid who hasn't even grown his first hair yet, I don't think he's reliable!"

When Fang Zijian was mentioned, Kong Xiufang's eyes revealed undisguised contempt.

He's just the son of a village headman, yet he dares to dream of marrying her. He's like a toad lusting after a swan, utterly ignorant of his own limitations. How could she possibly be interested in such a weakling?

However, he still has some use now, so she doesn't mind keeping an eye on him and letting him run wild for a while longer.

She said, "Let's wait and see. If he can send the prescription over, we won't have to worry about it anymore."

Thinking of Fang Zijian's infatuation with her, she felt that he would soon send Fang Zi over.

On the other side, Fang Zijian was restless as soon as he got up in the morning, and kept looking out the door.

Seeing that she couldn't calm down, Liao simply dragged her to the field to cut vegetables.

When she left last night, Ji Yunshuang insisted on taking her to the kitchen and bringing her a bowl of food.

She also whispered a few heartfelt words to her, and she felt that what Ji Yunshuang said was right.

Reading is one thing, but one cannot be lazy and ignorant of the five grains.

Therefore, after seeing that her son couldn't concentrate on his studies at all today, she simply followed Ji Yunshuang's advice and took him to work in the fields.

Fang Zijian was initially reluctant, but after hearing that he was delivering vegetables to Ji Yunshuang, he became more enthusiastic than anyone else.

When he was cutting vegetables, he picked the best ones from the field. When he was pulling up radishes, he picked the biggest ones.

Besides radishes and greens, he also picked some chives, scallions, perilla leaves, and other spices that were growing in the field.

He even climbed up the only persimmon tree in the house, picked some, put them in a basket, and took them with him to Ji Yunshuang.

Fang Li was looking at the persimmon tree that had been ravaged, leaving only a few persimmons, and hesitated to speak.

He saved the persimmons at home for his grandsons in the city.

Although the eldest brothers all work in the city and have settled down there, everything in the city costs money, and fruit is especially expensive.

Ordinary families simply couldn't bear to spend the money to buy it.

Every year, he would save the persimmons at home until after the first frost, carefully pick them, and send them to his grandsons in the city.

However, thinking about what his wife said to him last night, and the bowl of braised pork intestines she brought back that he still finds incredibly delicious, he couldn't stop reminiscing about it.

In the end, he not only said nothing, but also picked out two old pumpkins from the side room and, together with his son and wife, carried them to the Lu family.

Fang Lizheng's old house is located at the foot of Heshan Mountain, in a rather inconspicuous location within the village.

However, no matter how inconspicuous it may seem, it can't withstand the repeated actions of the Gao Lan family and the Fang Lizheng family!

Especially yesterday at the village entrance, many clever people saw Ji Yunshuang and others. Gradually, they also learned about the refugees being settled in the village.

Many people initially thought it was just a few refugee families and didn't take it seriously.

But it's one thing for the second son of the Wang family to curry favor, but why is Fang, a village head, also currying favor?

This caused quite a stir in the village.

The villagers began to speculate about the identities and backgrounds of Ji Yunshuang and the others.

Some people even came directly to the Fang family's old house to find out the truth.

At this moment, looking at the two full loads of vegetables and fruits, Ji Yunshuang was flattered and thanked Liao Shi profusely.

However, after accepting the vegetables and fruits, she insisted on giving Liao money, saying that she couldn't just take so many vegetables and fruits for free, and that she should consider them as money she had paid for them.

Liao refused to accept the gift, and even threw a tantrum, saying, "I've already told you, from now on you're my own sister. How can I accept money for something I'm giving my own sister? You child, do you look down on me?"

Ji Yunshuang had no choice but to take the money back, and said with emotion, "Don't talk nonsense, it's really too much. You're too good to me, I don't know what to do."

Liao said, "What's so good about it? It's just a few vegetable leaves, worthless. You are the real benefactor of my family."

The two women flattered each other, and the more they complimented each other, the more Liao felt that she had met her too late. In the end, she insisted on making Ji Yunshuang a sister to her.

She also instructed Fang Zijian that whenever he saw Ji Yunshuang, he should call her "Auntie" and treat her as his own aunt.

Fang Zijian glanced at the two little kids beside Ji Yunshuang and thought to himself, "His mother is bewitched."

Given the significant age difference between them, how did she come up with the idea of ​​recognizing Ji Yunshuang as her younger sister?

If he's going to call Ji Yunshuang "Auntie," what should he call those two little rascals?

Lu Yanqi's lips twitched violently at this moment.

That woman is even more hypocritical today!

She was completely different from how he remembered her, and sometimes he couldn't help but wonder if they were even the same person.
