A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!

Dong'er, get up quickly, we're about to head to the county town. Don't you want to see your older sister?

Before dawn, Madam Lin woke her son from bed. All the women in the house had prepared their luggage, filling the oxcart with bags and bundles.

Since Uncle Chen was the only one with a cart in the village, and it was now full of bedding and bundles, everyone had no choice but to follow the oxcart and walk to the town.

Let's set off early. He'er said we'll need to stay at an inn for one night along the way. Since it's a group of women with children traveling together, safety is the most important thing.

When they arrived in town, everyone was exhausted from walking. In order not to waste time, the group went to the carriage shop to call two more carriages, bought some breakfast by the roadside, and then boarded an oxcart to head towards the county town.

Since they were all women who had never traveled far from home, Madam Lin remembered her daughter's words and asked two clever assistants from the carriage company to drive the carriage.

If a group of women and children were to bring along two men on the road, they wouldn't stand out so much.

Lin He'er has entrusted the suitcase matter to professionals these past two days. She and Li Shi have been busy with the backpack matter.

Because her embroidery skills were terrible, in order to finish this job quickly, she had to switch shifts with Cao'er. She would take care of the shop in the front while Li and Cao'er made the bags in the backyard.

After two busy days, at noon that day, after seeing off a customer, Lin He'er saw two oxcarts parked in front of the shop.

"Mother, Dongdi, you've arrived." Lin He'er saw that it was her mother and younger brother who had come to the county town, so she quickly came out from behind the counter and went to greet them in front of the shop.

He Yatou, when Lin Niangzi saw her daughter come out, the family, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, all hugged each other. Lin Dong hugged his eldest sister, tears streaming down his little face.

Big sister, Dong'er misses you so much!

"Big sister misses Dong'er too!" Lin He'er happily hugged her little brother.

Mother, I've had someone move the things to the backyard. Let's go inside and talk.

Lin He'er called over a few people in the shop, and together they helped carry the luggage back to the shop.

After exchanging greetings, the family members all took stools and sat down in the backyard.

Now Cao'er also saw her mother. Although she had only been away from the Lin family for less than two months, it felt like a long time had passed.

Mother, Dong'er, you two go and rest in my room first. The rest of you should also go and rest in Li Mama and Cao'er's room.

Let's not chat for now. I'm going out to find Zhang the broker and ask him about the house.

Alright, Madam Lin has been traveling for two days and is indeed very tired. Now that we've finally arrived, all she wants to do is lie down and rest.

Hey, the Xu family's dividend has arrived. I didn't expect it to be so fast. They said it would be settled monthly, but Manager Xu gave me your share as well.

Madam Lin carefully took out the silver notes she had hidden on her person and placed her daughter's share in Lin He'er's palm.

This is sixty taels for you. I gave you three hundred and forty taels. He'er, please keep it safe. Your mother has never seen so much silver in her life.

Madam Lin carried money with her all the way, and traveled in constant fear. The reason she felt so tired from the journey was not only because of the bumpy ride in the oxcart, but also because she was afraid of losing the money.

The money arrived just in time, solving our problem perfectly.

The Xu family acted swiftly; in just two months, they've already increased bag production. They truly deserve their reputation as wealthy merchants, possessing both substantial financial and human resources.

Lin He'er took two hundred taels of silver from her mother and left the shop.

When they arrived at the brokerage, they happened to run into Zhang the broker, who was about to leave.

Oh, Mrs. Wen, what a coincidence! I was just about to go to the shop to look for you.

Oh? Zhang Yaren, the landlord agreed to a lower price?

If you ask me, you're truly a lucky person. The house you liked in the neighboring county is in a hurry to sell, and since it's not available here yet, they had to lower the price for you.

That's great, thank you so much, Mr. Zhang, for your trouble. Can we complete the house deed process today?

Of course, Mrs. Wen, rest assured, you can leave it to me.

We'll sign the white contract first, and then I'll take it to the county government to exchange it for the red contract.

Okay, please, broker. Let's sign the contract now.

The two returned to the brokerage office and signed the contract. Lin He'er paid the money and gave the broker extra for tea and drinks, asking him to take good care of things.

"Don't worry, madam, I'll deliver it to your shop as soon as I've finished." Seeing the hard-earned money from the buyer, Zhang the broker was overjoyed and personally escorted her a good distance from the shop.

Later that afternoon, Zhang the broker delivered the house deed to the shop. Lin He'er took the deed and, with the rested group, walked towards Green Bamboo Lane.

Mother, look, our family will be settled here from now on.

Lin Niangzi followed her daughter into the courtyard and felt that the house was truly beautiful. City dwellers were not like those in the countryside; this house had once been inhabited by scholars.

Let Lin Niangzi see for herself; this house is elegant in every way. We owe our family such a fine house all thanks to our daughter.

Dong'er, come here! The group has gone to the backyard. Look at your future study, is it big enough?

Wow, Lin Dong was so happy to see how big his future school was that he kept spinning around in his room.

Sister, this bookshelf is huge! How many books would it take to fill it up?

Once you've filled this bookshelf to the brim, you'll be able to take the imperial examination and become the top scholar! Haha!

Seeing her younger brother's surprised expression, Lin He'er couldn't help but tease him.

"Big sister, I promise I'll study hard and become the top scholar in the imperial examination." Lin Dong clenched his fist and earnestly declared to his older sister.

Good, good, Dongdi has ambition! Your older sister is waiting for you to become the top scholar!

The whole family was amused by the little boy's serious expression.

Mother, let's bring the things over now. It's still early, so let's clean the house quickly so we can move in tonight.

Okay, okay, the group split into two groups and each began cleaning their own rooms.

Now that Madam Lin is the head of the Lin family, she naturally has to live in the east wing. The west wing is the same size as the east wing, and currently it's used as a study. After a while, once we buy a bed and partition the room, Lin Dong will live in the west wing.

Because Lin Dong is still young, he will not be allowed to live alone in the front courtyard for the time being.

The other servants of the Lin family lived in the left and right wing rooms of the second courtyard.

As for the room in the front courtyard, let Meng Xing stay there first.

After all, they can't always have people sleeping on the floor. Fortunately, the Lin family consists mostly of women and children, and with Meng Xing watching over them, Lin He'er feels more at ease.

Lin He'er told Meng Xing about her decision, but he was still absolutely unwilling. He insisted that he had promised his benefactor to take good care of the shop, and how could he move out?

You can come over during the day; you don't need to stay here at night.

My mother's side is more important to me. Lin He'er rarely spoke to anyone with such a serious expression.

Alright then, madam. When my benefactor asks about it later, you must speak up for me.

Don't worry. Your husband won't blame you.

And so Meng Xing stayed at the Lin family's house that night. Lin He'er also told Cao'er to stay at the Lin family's house at night from now on, and only come to the shop to work during the day.

Now that Zhang has come along, it's not right to keep separating mother and daughter. It would be much more humane to allow her to work during the day and see her family in the evening!

After arranging accommodations for everyone and helping the Lin family clean their house, Lin He'er had a meal there and then took Li Shi back to the shop.

Everyone is exhausted from moving today, so we'll stop chatting.

My mother has moved to the county town. We'll have plenty of time to visit each other in the future!
