"If it's not too bad, we could let him stay here to work, but his wife and mother have to behave themselves." Yu Banxia got up, stretched, and looked at the starry sky.

The starry sky is so beautiful. Before my rebirth, even in the countryside, you could hardly see any stars.

Fireflies danced in the yard, their lights flickering on and off.

The sounds of insects chirping and frogs croaking filled my ears; it was incredibly pleasant.

"We'll see," Yu Bantao replied, looking up at the sky as well.

Before long, the men in the house returned, and Yu Banxia and the others went back to their rooms.

"Xiaxia, did you put some ice in the house? It's so cool here. In previous years, my legs would be covered in blisters if I sat in the yard for a while at this time."

"I haven't seen a single mosquito this year, how strange!" Yu Banyue asked curiously as she tidied up the dried clothes.

"I put a small piece there. As for mosquitoes, I hate them, so I made an insect repellent stone according to an ancient recipe and threw it around the house and in the yard."

"I guarantee we won't see a single mosquito in our house this year, hehe."

Yu Banxia put her hands on her hips and said smugly.

Yu Banyue was overjoyed and hugged her tightly: "You're amazing! I have such an amazing sister. If others knew how good you are, I'm afraid the whole continent would envy me."

"Is that all? I'll find you the best husband in the future, so you can be happy for the rest of your life."

"What are you saying?" Yu Banyue blushed instantly and slapped her.

Yu Banxia chuckled. While she was speaking, Xia Lian had already fallen asleep.

"Kids fall asleep so quickly," Yu Banxia remarked as she covered the baby's tummy with a small blanket.

"You were the same way when you were little. You'd be talking to me one minute and then fall asleep the next," Yu Banyue teased with a laugh, while Yu Banxia chuckled.

Yu Banyue put the clothes away, blew out a candle, leaving only that one candle flame.

"Go to sleep. You must be tired after a long day."

"It's alright, goodnight, sister." Yu Banxia stretched again and said lazily.

Yu Banyue chuckled and gently patted her. Soon her breathing became even. Yu Banxia smiled, closed her eyes, and focused her wood-type ability.

She reached the third level of the beginner stage this afternoon, concentrated for a while, and then closed her eyes to sleep.

The next day, Yu Banxia was awakened by the noise. She got up and rubbed her eyes, but Xiao Xialian and Yu Banyue were nowhere to be seen.

They probably saw that she was sleeping soundly, so they didn't wake her.

She changed into the blue dress and pink skirt, styled her hair in a simple bun, and put on her jewelry and earrings.

As usual, Yu Banyue fetched water for her, filled the wooden cup with water, and placed willow twigs and a small dish of salt beside it.

Pick up the silk goat milk soap next to her and wash it clean with the water in the basin. Then take out a toothbrush and toothpaste from her spatial storage.

It seems she needs to research making toothpaste first; if her entire family uses all the toothpaste she has in her storage space, it will be gone in two years at most.

Fortunately, she had experience, so making it wasn't difficult for her.

As for toothbrushes, bamboo is fine, since most chopsticks are also made of bamboo.

Just replace it on time.

I took the time to think, brush my teeth, and wash my face.

She picked up the moisturizer next to her and applied it, and that was it. She's young now, with plenty of collagen, so she doesn't need much makeup.

She put on a veil, carried the basin of water for washing, and walked through the main room, where she saw that the courtyard was crowded with people.

The people inside the courtyard fell silent the moment they saw a young girl emerge, and all turned to look at her.

Upon seeing this, Yu Hongwen coughed lightly, and those people immediately dared not stare at the girl anymore.

Yu Banxia, ​​unconcerned about everyone's stares, poured the water into a corner of the yard, then went to the well to wash the basin clean before returning to her room.

He came out again shortly after and went straight to the kitchen.

Yu Banyue and the others were all there. Yu Banyue glanced outside quietly and asked, "With so many people, aren't you afraid at all?"

Yu Banxia picked up the bowl and asked, puzzled, "Why should I be afraid? Aren't those people here to sign up and work for my brother-in-law?"

“Yes.” Yu Banyue nodded.

"That's it. In the future, when we do business, we'll meet a lot of people. If we're always afraid of this and that, how can we do anything?"

Upon hearing Yu Banxia's words, Yu Banyue and Wu Zhuxiang were both taken aback, but then realized that Yu Banxia was right.

She's going to run a restaurant someday, how can she be so timid?

After breakfast, Yu Banxia made a special trip to Yu Hongwen's place to take a look. Seeing that her father's notes were decent, Yu Banxia went straight out the door and went to the workshop to take a look.

The weeds had been mostly cleared away. Erniu and the other five had breakfast at the Yu family's house early in the morning and then came to work.

"Miss Yu."

"Okay, you guys keep busy." Yu Banxia nodded, then walked towards Yu Baishun who was coming towards her.

Yu Baishun chuckled: "Xia girl, you've come to check on things so early. Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten, Third Grandfather. What did they say about the timber?" Yu Banxia asked Yu Baishun, who then shared his thoughts.

After considering it, Yu Banxia said, "You three grandfathers know more about these things, so you can decide."

"I just hope they can get me a new kitchen as soon as possible so I can go to town for a trial run," Yu Banxia grinned.

Yu Baishun quickly said no problem.

Just then, Yu Banyue ran over: "Xiaxia, your eldest sister's in-laws have come."

Yu Banxia quickly told Yu Baishun and ran home.

Before they even reached the door, they heard Lan's wailing: "Everyone, come and judge for me! I risked my life to give birth to this son, whom I cherished like my own eyes, and now he's following his new wife to his father-in-law's house to become a live-in son-in-law!"

"They're leaving me, a lonely old woman, at home to suffer."

"Now that he's successful, he wants to be a foreman and build houses for people, but he won't take his own brothers with him."

Zhang Quangui was absolutely furious with his mother-in-law. On such a joyous occasion, she came to his father-in-law's house to cause trouble, wasn't she just adding insult to injury for his family?

“The Yu family prides itself on being a family of farmers and scholars, and my in-law is a mere student who has only completed the first stage of his education, yet he does not know how to teach his daughter.”

“It’s one thing to disregard one’s reputation by following a man around, but to disrespect one’s elders is another. The other day, she came to my house and inexplicably slapped me twice. My face still hurts to this day.”

"Now look what's happened, they've even brought my son back with them."

Lan sat in front of the Yu family's gate, slapping her legs and crying. She thought that at least some people in Anping Village would join her in denouncing the Yu family.

Unexpectedly, even after she had cried until her voice was almost hoarse, not a single person came out to speak to her.

Lan's heart began to pound. Looking at the people from Xiaozhang Village and the people from several other villages who had come to register after hearing the news, they all looked at her with impatience.

The Lan family members were also bewildered. What exactly was going on?

“You old woman, you really know how to talk a big game. Quan Gui is going to lead us to work here, so of course we can’t live at home.”

"Besides, you separated from Quan Gui several years ago. I still remember the scene of that separation."
