Lin He'er quickly finished the sesame seed cake in her hand, sat down a little further forward, took the whip from her mother-in-law, and continued driving the oxcart.

Mother, I'm catching the cart. You should eat the pancake now, otherwise it will get cold and make your stomach uncomfortable.

Well, seeing how considerate her daughter-in-law was in everything she did, Liu happily retreated to the back of the oxcart.

The reason I'm late today is because I took a job at the embroidery shop! Three taels of silver, Mother, the shop will give me three taels of silver as payment for making this bag! Lin He'er finally had a chance to share the good news with her family!

What? Three taels of silver? How can that be so much money? When Liu heard her daughter-in-law say that she had taken a job at the embroidery shop and was only given three taels of silver, she was so shocked that she almost fell off the oxcart!

Lin He'er: Didn't my husband tell you that my family has a business relationship with the embroidery shop in town?

Yes, she had already mentioned it. Madam Liu knew that her in-laws were now collaborating with an embroidery shop in town, apparently making wallets. She had even seen them at her son's shop; they were quite novel and practical. It seemed her daughter-in-law had made them especially for her son.

Ah! So those daughters-in-law can make bags too! Liu finally realized, belatedly. You mean you took a bag-making job from the embroidery shop, and they only paid you three taels of silver?

Yes, the customer has already paid a deposit. Once the embroidery is finished and the final payment is received, the embroidery shop will give me the money for the labor.

Good heavens, what kind of bag is this? But the wages are three taels of silver. Liu said that this was unimaginable. It's something that can't be eaten or drunk, yet someone is willing to spend so much money on it.

The two chatted all the way home in the oxcart. Lin He'er did most of the talking, mainly because she was so happy and wanted to say whatever came to mind. Liu Shi didn't say much, and it's unclear whether she heard what her daughter-in-law was saying; in any case, all she could think about was the three taels of silver!

After dropping her daughter-in-law off at the door and going to the village to return the oxcart, Liu finally came to her senses.

Lin He'er carried the basket and ran into the room. She saw Wen Yuning lying on the bed. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon. Was he taking a nap and hadn't woken up yet?

She unconsciously softened her footsteps and slowly walked towards the bedside.

Hmm, even asleep he's so handsome. Lin He'er looked at the person on the bed and felt like she was about to be captivated again.

Look at those long eyelashes! Now that their owner has closed his eyes, they obediently cover his eyelids, casting a small shadow under his eyes. His beautiful nose breathes evenly, and his mouth is also well-behavedly closed tightly, unlike some people who grind their teeth or snore when they sleep. Perfect sleeping posture; this is a static picture of a handsome man taking a nap.

Looking at the person sleeping so properly on the bed, Lin He'er couldn't help but feel like playing a trick on them. She slowly reached out and gently pinched their nose. Haha!

Since his wife left with his mother, Wen Yuning had been reading in his room. He ate a quick meal with his father and then continued to study with his books.

However, I seemed to have been reading for a long time today and felt a bit tired. I thought I would go to bed for a while, but I ended up falling asleep!

Suddenly, I felt short of breath, as if someone was pinching my nose. Before I even opened my eyes, I heard soft laughter beside the bed. It seemed I had been teased by the little girl. Thinking that my wife was having fun, I couldn't help but feel the urge to tease her a little.

Using the little hand on her nose as a spring, Wen Yuning suddenly grabbed the little girl's arm and forcefully pulled her onto the bed.

Because the movement was too fast, Lin He'er hadn't even had time to react before she let out a cry of surprise and found herself being pulled onto the bed, her whole body lying on top of Wen Yuning.

At this moment, the person lying on the bed opened their eyes, which were closed, and their eyes were full of smug and mischievousness.

Lin He'er was caught red-handed and could only chuckle awkwardly. Brother Wen is awake, why didn't you sleep a little longer?

Why don't I sleep more? He'er doesn't know the reason? Hmm?

As he spoke, he suddenly looked up and leaned closer to the little girl who was lying on top of him.

Lin He'er blushed when she saw the person beneath her suddenly look up and lean closer to speak to her. They were too close; she could feel their hot breath as they spoke.

Because her arms were braced against the bed, Lin He'er was trembling all over from the scent of the person beneath her!

Ah! Unable to hold on any longer, Lin He'er collapsed, her head slamming straight into Wen Yuning, and coincidentally, her lips met the chin of the person beneath her.

Ouch! Wen Yuning was feeling smug that he had scared the little girl when suddenly he saw someone fall right at him, and a sharp pain shot through his chin.

He'er, are you trying to murder your husband?

"Ah! Brother Wen, are you alright? I didn't mean to, it was you who suddenly got close and scared me." Lin He'er never expected that what she intended to tease Wen Yuning would end up hurting him! Her joy had turned to sorrow!

Hurriedly getting off him, Lin He'er looked at his chin and saw that he had hit it quite hard, as there were two clear teeth marks on his chin.

"Um, Brother Wen, lie down first. I'll go get a cloth to wipe you down." Lin He'er saw the person lying on the bed with a furrowed brow and quickly got off the bed.

After treating Wen Yuning's broken skin wound, Lin He'er hesitated and opened her mouth, "Um, Brother Wen, please don't go out after dinner. Don't let your wound catch a cold. I'll bring your food inside."

No need, it's just a small wound, it's not like I can't walk. I'll just go out to eat.

When Madam Liu finished preparing the meal and called everyone out to eat, Wen Yuning immediately got up to go to the main room. Lin He'er, unwilling to give up, stepped forward and persuaded him again, "Brother Wen, won't you reconsider?"

Hurry up, little girl, do you think I'm that fragile? This little wound is nothing! Don't make a fuss!

"Alright, I hope you can still talk to me so calmly later." Lin He'er resignedly followed behind him toward the main house.

Just as Liu had finished setting out the food, she saw her son striding towards her!

As the person approached, just as I was about to speak, I saw two clear teeth marks on my son's chin.

Sanlang, what's wrong with your chin?

"Hmm, it's nothing, I just bumped into something by accident!" Wen Yuning replied to her mother with a serious expression.

Liu glanced at her daughter-in-law behind her and asked uncertainly, "Where did you bump your head? How could we have you bumped your chin like that? Oh dear, it's all scraped! Tell your mother, I'll go take a look."

Lin He'er: Mother, I still have some self-respect! Please hold your tongue!

Wen Yuning; ..., teeth marks?

Seeing her son's frozen face, Liu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Oh dear, why did you bump your head so strangely? You even have teeth marks on it. Tsk tsk, He'er, did you see where Sanlang bumped his head?"

Lin He'er: Mother, I... I don't know either! Waaah, everyone told me to stay inside and not come out to eat, but this person just won't listen to advice!

Wen Yuning: ...My wife has wronged me. Why didn't she explain herself? Now my mother is laughing at me!

Wen Dazhuang was also having a hard time enduring it, but seeing how pitiful his son and daughter-in-law were, he decided to kindly help them out.

Ahem, let's eat! That bump happened pretty coincidentally; I thought it'd been gnawed on by something! Hehe.

Wen Yuning: ...Father has gone too far!

Lin He'er: ...Father did it on purpose!

Despite the intense scrutiny of their elders, the two of them managed to finish the meal.

"Ugh, I'm going to have indigestion tonight!" Lin He'er complained to Wen Yuning as she entered the room.

Hehe, He'er is the one who started this, why are you complaining to me? Wen Yuning looked at the little girl with a resentful gaze!

Hehe, what an accident! Lin He'er noticed the way the other person was looking at her and quickly begged for forgiveness! Thinking back on her actions the next moment, she really despised herself for it!

Now I'm in trouble again; for the next few days I'll have to endure my mother-in-law's inquisitive and eager gaze...

Seeing Wen Yuning sitting on the bed with an unfriendly look in his eyes, Lin He'er fawned over him and smiled obsequiously; "This time it's my fault. Why don't you see what I do so that you can vent your anger?"

Hmph! You want to make it up to me? Fine, Wen Yuning thought, seeing the little girl looking at him ingratiatingly, a thought suddenly struck him. Come here, I'll tell you!
