Travel to the mountains and make a fortune in silence

Wang Qing'er felt relieved after hearing from Old Man Mu that so many people were together, so she washed the pork bones and put them in the pot to stew.

Ten-year-old Zitong volunteered to help her start the fire, but the eldest Zihan was nowhere to be seen. The three boys followed Old Man Mu to pull the oxen and then went to cut grass together.

Wang Qing'er peeled a few potatoes, sliced ​​them, and soaked them in water. Then she took Zitong to the vegetable garden behind the house. Seeing that the red amaranth was too dense, she thought it would be good to pick some to stir-fry. So she started picking amaranth.

After washing the amaranth that had been pulled up, I washed it several times in the pond behind the house to remove the mud and sand. I looked up and saw Mu Nan cleaning the sheep pen, with someone standing next to her.

Wang Qing'er, carrying the washed amaranth, deliberately went around from the sheepfold to the front yard to see who it was. The sharp-eyed Zitong spotted her eldest sister standing outside the sheepfold from afar. "Huh! My eldest sister usually dislikes livestock the most, so why is she standing outside the sheepfold today?"

"Zitong, let's go back to the front yard from that side, it's closer." Since Wang Qing'er knew who was with Mu Nan and had heard Zitong's words, she knew exactly who it was and returned to the front yard from where she came from.

It's unbelievable that Wu Zihan would have such thoughts on her very first day at home, right after they've met. She's being far too hasty.

Besides, she knew her cousin had a wife, and it was she, his wife, who brought them back. How could this be... Ugh! What a headache! She never expected that her kind offer to take them in would result in bringing back someone who would steal her away.

Fortunately, she discovered it at the beginning. I had originally planned to make the soap with the sisters. It seems that they can't touch the soap or the braised meat, at least not now.

Wang Qing'er had a slight headache...

When the two returned to the front yard, they saw Wang Cuiying and the others in the yard. Old Man Mu was talking to them about Mu Yan and introducing her to several of his nephews. The children were also greeting each other.

"Sister-in-law!"

"mother"

The two little girls ran happily towards Wang Qing'er as soon as they saw her.

"Did Yao'er miss her mother?" Wang Qing'er picked Yao'er up and kissed her on the cheek.

"Yes, Yao'er misses her mother!" Mu Yao said in a childish voice as she nestled into her mother's arms.

"Does Yao'er miss her father?" Mu Nan had also come to their side at some point.

"Yes, Yao'er misses her father too."

“Your mother can’t carry you, come here, let Daddy carry you.” Mu Nan reached out and took Mu Yao.

"Okay." Mu Yao obediently went into her father's arms.

Wang Qing'er glanced behind Mu Nan, where Wu Zihan was standing next to him.

Wu Zihan happened to be looking at her as well. Wang Qing'er gave her a meaningful smile, then said softly to Mu Nan, "Husband, would you like to help me cook?"

Mu Nan was flattered when his wife called him "husband" and quickly nodded in agreement.

Wang Qing'er carried groceries in one hand and linked arms with Mu Nan as they walked toward the kitchen. She inadvertently turned back and gave Wu Zihan a victorious smile.

As Wu Zihan watched the family of three walk away, her nails dug deep into her flesh in anger.

When Wu Zihan first saw Mu Nan at the entrance of the pharmacy in the morning, she thought he was handsome, much more so than the man she was engaged to. In the morning, she was just a little envious of Wang Qing'er beside him.

When she learned that Mu Nan was her cousin, her mind immediately started working. Several of her close girlfriends had married her cousins. If others could do it, why couldn't she?

Based on her looks and figure alone, she is far superior to that poor little girl next to my cousin who has nothing to offer.

With her mother and grandmother's connection to her, she believed her cousin would definitely fall for her.

What Wu Zihan didn't know was that Wang Qing'er and Wang Cuiying had already seen through her thoughts.

Wang Cuiying had been observing Wu Zihan ever since she came out of the backyard with Mu Nan, and she had also taken in all of Wu Zihan's resentful look and actions as she watched her son and daughter-in-law's backs.

And her quirky daughter-in-law, she could see through Wu Zihan's little expressions clearly, and thought to herself, "This niece is probably no match for her daughter-in-law."

Wang Cuiying seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, especially since it was her own son who had gotten himself into this mess.

After exchanging pleasantries with her sister-in-law in Zhou's room, Wang Cuiying came out to work. After washing the pig offal, she burned the hair off the pig's head and legs.

Mu Nan helped Wang Qing'er tend the fire in the kitchen and didn't come out at all.

Wu Zihan pretended to help Mu Xiao and the others peel bamboo shoots in the yard, but she was absent-minded and kept glancing into the kitchen.

While working, Wang Cuiying kept an eye on Wu Zihan, thinking to herself that she must keep a close eye on this woman for her daughter-in-law.

The obedient Zitong asked Wang Cuiying for a charcoal stove and a pot for brewing medicine, and went into the kitchen to help her mother brew the medicine.

Seeing her younger sister about to go into the kitchen, Wu Zihan thought this was an opportunity and quickly went over to her sister, saying, "Zitong, let me go help Mom brew the medicine. It'll be troublesome if you get burned!"

Zitong thought to herself, "Big sister, I've always been the one who brews Mother's medicine, so how come she got burned today?"

Coming to her senses, Zitong hurriedly chased after her and said, "Big sister, I'm usually the one who brews medicine for Mother, but you always spill it every time you brew it. Let me do it. Mother's medicine is precious! I don't want you to spill it and waste it again."

Wu Zihao chimed in, "That's right, eldest sister, you should peel the bamboo shoots. My cousin's wife bought Mother's medicine. I saw my eldest cousin pay ten taels of silver for it. It's so expensive, we can't waste it!"

Everyone "..."

These two are really a pain for their sister!

No, no, how can this be called "pitting my sister"? I'm just telling the truth.

Wu Zihan was so angry with her younger siblings that her face turned red and white in turns. She could only return the things to Zitong and then go back to peeling bamboo shoots.

However, her bamboo shoot peeling speed wasn't even as fast as four-year-old Yao'er's, making Mu Xiao, Mu Qin, and Mu Lin roll their eyes, thinking that their cousin's temper was just too...

Wang Qing'er was busy in the kitchen, thinking that Zhou Shi had always been very good to her. Now that she was finally reunited with her daughter's family, she wouldn't bother with that blind woman as long as she didn't cause trouble.

So dinner was quite plentiful: pork bone and bamboo shoot soup, braised pork, stir-fried mushrooms and pork, stir-fried pork liver, stir-fried wood ear mushrooms and pork, cold pork heart salad, stir-fried potato slices, and stir-fried red amaranth, served with a large pot of white rice.

Each dish was served on two large plates. Mu Nan pushed the two tables together and placed them directly in the yard. She then went to the storeroom, took out two lanterns, lit them, and hung them up.

"Brother Mu Nan, let Mu Qin go and call Grandma and Auntie out for dinner!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, wife!" Mu Nan saw that Wang Qing'er's face was flushed and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, so she quickly used her sleeve to gently wipe it away.

"Brother Mu Nan, Yao'er is still here!" Wang Qing'er said coquettishly, her face turning even redder.
