After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

"Yunniang, are you angry?"

"It's alright," Jiang Zhiyun said with a smile.

"A person like Xu Ping'an deserves any punishment, no matter what."

Zhang said, "These people will get their just desserts sooner or later. We've certainly had a good show to watch."

"It's going to snow, Yunniang. It's too cold, let's hurry back to the heater."

"You know, in winter, being able to eat some meat and drink a little wine can keep you warm every day. But wine is hard to come by; it gets more expensive in winter."

"Does Mother know how to brew wine?" Yunniang asked curiously.

Zhang nodded: "You know what, it really is true. When I got married, my father buried the Daughter Red wine with me, and we would just leave it under the tree, waiting to dig it up on my wedding day."

"At the time, I didn't think much of it, but in reality, I was already very happy."

At least, Zhang's marriage was much better than Yunniang's and Shuheng's later marriages.

Zhang held her hand and said, "Yunniang, I just feel sorry for you. Your wedding banquet with Shuheng was too simple. I'll arrange a new one for you later."

"No need. I was fine back then," Jiang Zhiyun said with a smile. "I never imagined that so much time would have passed and the baby in my belly would be so big."

After all, back then, she never imagined she would have any interaction with Xie Shuheng.

Madam Zhang covered her mouth and laughed, "I've been so worried about you two being together. I've been looking forward to this child every day, and it's finally here. I've prepared several winter clothes, so that both a boy and a girl can wear them."

Zhang is good-looking. When I first met her, she was still quite unkempt, but you could tell she had a special air about her. Now that she's taken better care of herself, she dresses up exquisitely every day, and she really looks beautiful.

They are all the kind of people who have no worries.

Yunniang actually liked Zhang Shi very much; she was optimistic and kind.

Without her, she and Xie Shuheng probably wouldn't have been able to maintain their marriage for so long.

Zhang and Xie Shuheng look about 50% alike, and the other 50% must be Xie Shuheng's father.

He was clearly a handsome man.

He grew up based on the strengths of his family members.

Jiang Zhiyun and Jiang Zhiwan originally looked alike. But now Jiang Zhiwan is a completely different person, and it's not even clear that they are sisters.

Therefore... whether you can take good care of yourself in the future is also an important factor.

The snow is getting heavier, so driving the horse-drawn carriage is still very slow; we have to be careful.

When I got home, the whole yard was covered in snow.

Yang Ge'er waited at the door: "Auntie! Auntie! I missed you!"

Jiang Zhiyun went over and picked up the little boy, then smiled and said, "Why is our Yang-ge'er back?"

"The snow is too heavy, so the teacher said there will be no more classes. Everyone go home, it's too cold."

"Okay, your aunt will take you inside to light the stove."

Jiang Zhiyun was pondering the matter of the wine they had just discussed. Things were difficult to prepare in winter, and the restaurants would likely see less business, meaning she would have more time to spend at home.

Brewing wine is a good idea.

She remembered that in her past life someone sold health-preserving wine, adding medicinal herbs to it, which would make people healthier.

Both Daughter's Red Wine and Health Tonic Wine can be made; the medicinal herbs can be obtained from Su Shaoye, right?

So Jiang Zhiyun plans to explain this to Zhang Shi later.

They went inside and lit the stove, and the group quickly gathered around it, enjoying the warmth.

They also carried a teapot, which was bubbling away as they boiled water.

They were all sitting in a circle around him.

Cuizhen said with some anticipation, "With such heavy snow, I wonder if Mao Wu and the others will have a day off."

"I reckon General Xie will also be on leave. Then we can all take the kids back to stay for a while."

With their husbands in the army camp, they followed Yunniang in doing these things and rarely spoke to their families anymore.

Jiang Zhiyun said, "I heard Xie Shuheng say that there will be a long leave of absence, but we don't know the exact time. We'll have to wait until the commander of Bianjing comes to confirm."

"Let's just wait."

Zhang took out a small bottle of wine and placed it aside to roast.

After heating it up, give each person a cup.

Because Yunniang is pregnant, she drinks fruit wine with a little bit of alcohol on it, which Zhang specially bought.

I asked Su Shaoye for his opinion when I bought it, and he said there was no problem.

So Jiang Zhiyun's food also tastes sweet.

They talked and drank, their faces flushed.

Jiang Zhiyun, who usually has a good capacity for alcohol, is now showing signs of intoxication. Perhaps it's because of her pregnancy; she seems more sensitive to fruit wine?

Just thinking about it makes me a little sleepy.

Zhang and his companions were completely disoriented.

At this moment, Xie Shuheng arrived with Xu Yao and the others.

Xie Shuheng was the first to see Yunniang, so he carried her upstairs, and the others found rooms to settle down one by one.

Mao Wu looked at Cuizhen, who never drank alcohol, and said with a smile, "My wife probably knows I got promoted today, so she's celebrating for me in advance."

Xu Yao looked at Xiuhe, and then at Chungeng, whom Xiuhe was holding. Chungeng and Yangge'er were already asleep, holding hands.

Xu Yao said, "Xiuhe, I've been promoted too."

"From now on, we will have more say in the military."

Xiuhe was also happy for them: "That's wonderful!"

“We’re all doing better and better. Madam Jiang was thinking about brewing wine, and we talked about it for a long time. We were all so happy that we drank a few extra cups.”

"I'll hold Chun Geng and Yang Ge'er, Xiu He Niangzi, you go and rest."

Xu Yao really enjoyed chatting with Xiuhe in this egalitarian manner.

It felt very comfortable and natural.

It even feels like home.

Shen Huichuan asked with some surprise, "Is it really that delicious?"

"I took the rest of the wine with me. I'm going to find Su Shaoye to drink with."

Yes, only a man who is obsessed with alcohol would seek out a lonely man without a wife, so they can be considered to have a good chat.

Xie Shuheng carried Jiang Zhiyun inside, inhaling the familiar aroma of fruit wine.

She didn't seem to have drunk that much!

The child will definitely not be affected. He said helplessly, "My wife is getting drunk more and more easily now. From now on, she is not allowed to drink when I'm not home."

He's been away for a long time, and his wife's seductive behavior after drinking might be seen by other men. What should he do?

So when I say it now, my voice is inevitably a little hurried and serious.

It's as if he's still reprimanding others in the military and hasn't quite adjusted yet.

Jiang Zhiyun pouted, and just looking at him, she started to cry.

Xie Shuheng: "..."

I was completely at a loss.

"Xie Shuheng... all you know how to do is bully me, all you know how to do is be mean to me."

"I didn't..." he said weakly, his voice now carrying a hint of coaxing.

"How can it be gone?! You're still trying to deny it. You're always so unpredictable."

"You're only fierce to me, not to your own family. Can't you speak properly, Xie Shuheng...?"

“I will.” His voice was even softer.

I really don't know what I did to upset my wife.

"Hmph, I want to see Xiao Shuheng."
