A lucky little peasant girl is reborn and brings prosperity to her entire family.

"Have you heard? Tian Denghua's restaurant, when I went to help out, they paid me this much a day."

The villagers gestured with their hands.

The person next to her understood the number she was gesturing and gasped, "So much?"

The villagers lowered their voices: "That's for sure. Business is booming. Tian Denghua has made a fortune from it, and the wages are generous. Right now, everyone in the village is eager to work at Tian Denghua's restaurant."

As the two were talking, they saw Song Yanyan walking towards them with her maid, Pucao.

As the restaurant run by Tian Denghua became increasingly successful, Tian Denghua could no longer take care of her family. She happened to meet some refugees who had fled famine, so she bought two hardworking cats to work at home and take care of Qi Lian, who had given birth to twins after childbirth.

Yes, Qi Lian gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

Tian Denghua, now with grandchildren, is incredibly energetic. She closes her shop early in the evening and rides home in the mule cart her family bought. As soon as she gets home, she hugs and kisses her grandchildren endlessly.

"Oh my, isn't this Yan Yan?" The villagers who had been chatting earlier greeted her with smiles and asked very solicitously, "Are you going to buy fish?"

This is somewhat of a rhetorical question.

After all, Song Yanyan and Pu Cao were each carrying a fish.

Song Yanyan, however, remained smiling and addressed the other woman as "Auntie," continuing the conversation: "Yes, I bought some fish. I'll make some fish soup for my sister-in-law to nourish her."

The villagers couldn't help but look on with envy.

The Song family makes a lot of money in business, and their daughter-in-law doesn't get pregnant for years, but when she does, it's twins!

They're twins!

The villagers were truly envious and jealous.

Some people used to murmur that Tian Denghua must have had a tough fate, which is why she killed her husband so early.

Looking around now, besides Old Mrs. Song, who else would say such a thing!

—The Tian family lives a life as sweet as honey!

If everyone's fortune is bad, then what's the point of their lives?

Is it bad luck for them?

The villagers laughed and started exchanging pleasantries: "Oh dear, your sister-in-law must be almost out of confinement by now, right? Is she managing all the household chores?"

Song Yanyan understood the villagers' unspoken meaning and smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. My mother said that my sister-in-law gave birth to twins at once, which was too hard, so she should have a double postpartum period. My mother also said that if she can't manage, she can ask a few aunties from the village to help."

Hearing Song Yanyan's words, the villagers' eyes lit up, and they became even more eager to help: "Yanyan, I even held you when you were little. If you need someone to help out..."

Song Yanyan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. If there's a shortage of people, my mother will definitely talk to the village chief. The village chief will help with the selection."

The two villagers exchanged a glance, knowing they had to put their efforts on the village chief. They smiled and praised Song Yanyan a few more times before letting her leave.

After Song Yanyan and her maid Pucao had walked away, Pucao whispered with admiration, "Miss, everyone is really eager to work at Madam's restaurant... Not only do they provide one meal a day, but they can also earn twenty coins!"

Song Yanyan nodded: "I heard that a wealthy family in the county is having a birthday celebration in a few days and they've invited Mother to help with the arrangements. We'll all go and help them out."

Song Yanyan also often helped out at her mother's restaurant, Tian's Restaurant. Her mother still paid her wages, and since the Song family doted on her and gave her various subsidies from time to time, Song Yanyan's savings had grown to a considerable amount.

Song Yanyan was calculating; her mother's fortieth birthday was coming up in a few days. If she saved up a little more, she could buy her mother a gold bracelet!

Thinking of this, Song Yanyan felt much better.

Ever since Luo Jinyu followed Xin Yi to Beijing, her family's life has been like a ray of bad luck, and they've been living a prosperous and thriving life.

Song Yanyan carried cattails and fish into the courtyard, only to find that Zhai Cuihong had arrived again.

Song Yueping was busy chopping firewood in the yard when Zhai Cuihong surrounded him, bringing him water and asking him softly if he was tired. She was incredibly considerate.

—Ever since the Song family's life got better and better, Zhai Cuihong has been clinging to them again.

But this time she was smarter. She changed her previous aloofness and lowered her posture, occasionally looking at Song Yueping with a sorrowful look in her red-rimmed eyes.

Song Yueping didn't want to pay attention to Zhai Cuihong, but she was a girl he had genuinely liked in the past, so he couldn't bring himself to say anything hurtful. He couldn't drive her away either, so he could only try to ignore her.

As soon as Song Yanyan entered the courtyard, Zhai Cuihong immediately came to greet her: "Yanyan is back."

She spoke so naturally and familiarly, as if she were one of the owners of the house.

Song Yanyan looked at Zhai Cuihong, then at Song Yueping.

She didn't embarrass Zhai Cuihong, but deep down, Song Yanyan didn't really want to talk to Zhai Cuihong either. She just nodded, walked past Zhai Cuihong, and went straight to the kitchen. She put the two fish that were still wagging their tails into a small water tank in the corner of the kitchen that was specifically for keeping fish.

Song Yueping wiped the sweat from his brow, put the axe in the corner, and planned to go inside to rest.

Zhai Cuihong stayed close by, following Song Yueping as they entered the house.

Qi Lian saw this from inside the house, and her face changed.

While Ms. Tian was busy working in the county town, her job was to take good care of the family.

If Zhai Cuihong were to follow her second brother into the house and be seen by others, it would be like getting mud in one's pants—even if it wasn't excrement, it would still look like excrement.

"Miss Zhai!" Qi Lian called out hastily, not caring that her voice would wake the two sleeping children. "Come here for a moment."

Zhai Cuihong was unwilling to listen to Qi Lian.

But she knew very well that if she wanted to marry into the family and live the life of a young mistress with servants at her beck and call, she couldn't afford to offend a single member of the Song family.

Zhai Cuihong forced a smile: "Okay."

Song Yanyan heard the noise while putting the fish in the kitchen, so she wasn't surprised. She washed her hands, told Pucao to boil some water, and then went to Qi Lian's room.

Zhai Cuihong was complimenting Qi Lian inside the house: "...Sister-in-law is so lucky. Look at Fusu and Hehua, they are both so beautiful."

Qi Lian has twins, a boy named Fusu and a girl named Hehua.

It was given to us by Old Man Su.

Taken from the Book of Songs, "On the mountain grows the hibiscus, in the marsh grows the lotus."

Although Song Risheng didn't understand the meaning, he just thought it sounded very nice. He scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "My son and daughter's names sound better than ours."

When Song Risheng was born, the sun had just risen, so his father named him Song Risheng.

Therefore, it can be inferred that the name Song Yueping was derived from the fact that the moon was low and flat when she was born.

Song Xingming, on the other hand, had a beautiful night sky filled with stars.

As for Song Yanyan, when she was born, Tian Denghua was lying exhausted on the kang (a heated brick bed), and with her face turned to the side, she saw swallows building a nest on the beam.

The main idea is to choose a name from the local area.
