Fang Yu took out a box of ointment from his pocket. As soon as he opened it, a pleasant fragrance wafted out. The ointment was as white and flawless as jade.

Yun Xiao thought it was some kind of cosmetic, but this was no small injury; it had already penetrated deep enough to expose the bone. Her appearance meant nothing to her now.

Fang Yu dabbed a small amount with her fingertip and applied it to the scars on Yun Xiao's face: "This is something I just did. Maybe it can help your scars heal. It's my first time doing this, so I'm not very confident. Let's give it a try."

Yun Xiao looked at the box of ointment in her hand, her eyes a little sore. She never dreamed that she would meet such a good person as Fang Yu in this life.

Her voice suddenly choked up: "Miss Fang's kindness is immense, and I, Yunxiao, will repay it with all my heart, even if it means working like a cow or a horse."

Fang Yu also had her own selfish motives. Although she couldn't see Yun Xiao's eyes clearly, she had a gut feeling that Yun Xiao was the kind of person who dared to love and hate, and keeping her by her side wouldn't be a bad thing.

"We'll talk about those things after your injury heals. I hope you won't let me down."

"I won't." Yun Xiao's tone was firm, her gaze intense.

……

Fang Xin spent the whole day working in the kitchen, and she didn't forget to put the finished dishes into a food box for Li to take back.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Li was dumbfounded. She thought the two sisters had brought them back for her specially, which was a bit of a waste of money.

Li's slowly drooping eyelashes betrayed her thoughts. Fang Xin reached out and placed her hand on her shoulder: "Mother, I made all these dishes myself. I didn't spend much money. You must try them."

Fang Yu couldn't eat any more. She rubbed her still very full stomach and looked at Li Shi: "Yes, these were all made by Xin'er. They taste good. Mother, you should try them."

After tasting it, Li said, "It is indeed very delicious, but is it not good to keep using Tianxianglou's cooking pots and stoves? Will it affect their business?"

The two sisters exchanged a glance, their lips curving upwards in unison. Fang Yu spoke first, "Mother, there's something I forgot to tell you. I've rented a restaurant in Qingshan City, so you don't need to worry."

"I...I rented a restaurant." Li had never even been to a restaurant before, so she couldn't believe how much money it would cost to rent one.

She wiped her mouth, hurriedly got up, walked to the bedside, bent down and rummaged around for a while. She must have taken out all the few hundred copper coins she had left, and her tone was somewhat reproachful.

"You silly child, why did it take you so long to tell me about something so important? I still have some money on me, take it first."

Fang Yu chuckled softly, took Li Shi's hand holding the copper coin, and pulled her to sit down: "Mother, you don't need to worry about the money. If you really like embroidery, I will support you, but you can't overwork yourself."

“Yes.” Fang Xin walked over and put a hand on Li’s shoulder: “Mother, our restaurant will open in a few days, and we will be able to make a lot of money.”

Their smiles were innocent and carefree, and Li was easily infected by them. Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, slowly calmed down, but she still insisted on giving the paulownia boards to Fang Yu.

After resting in the evening, Fang Yu entered the space and looked at the green vegetables waiting to be picked, each one of them was very pleasing.

In a few more days, she can plant a new batch.

The restaurant's signboard is ready. She said it would be called Qingshan Malatang, but it's not limited to Malatang.

After the signboard was hung up, it was covered with bright red silk. The interior of the restaurant was also rearranged, with red silk hanging on every pillar.

For several days in a row, Fang Xin locked herself in the kitchen to cook, and when she returned home, she kept practicing recognizing and writing characters.

Although Li didn't seem to be in a hurry, she still asked Aunt Jiang to help her get a few orders.

In the past, the Fang family worked from sunrise to sunset and had no time to earn money to support the family. Now it's different; she embroiders whenever she has time.

The shop is all set up and will open after the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a lucky day, but spending time with family is more important during this festive season.

After a period of intensive construction, the brand-new house has finally reached its final stage. The blue tiles on the roof were specially entrusted by Fang Yu to Uncle Liu, who went to great lengths to buy them from the neighboring village. Today, all the blue tiles have been laid perfectly, making the whole house look exceptionally simple and elegant.

There is a pond in the courtyard, and its edges have now been built up. All it takes is to introduce clear water, add a few lively fish, and plant some delicate lotus flowers to create a captivating waterscape.

In another corner of the yard, a plot of land has been reserved for planting trees. Imagine sitting leisurely under the shade of a tree when the hot summer arrives, enjoying fresh and delicious fruit and sipping fine wine. How could anyone not yearn for such a pleasant and comfortable scene?

The wall surrounding the entire courtyard was also built high with solid blue bricks, like an indestructible barrier, enough to ensure that those with ill intentions and dirty hands could not easily break in.

There were still three days until the annual Mid-Autumn Festival. As night fell, the moon hanging high in the sky grew ever rounder and brighter. Many tasks awaited them the next day.

"Xin'er, stop looking! Go back to your room and go to sleep. Tomorrow, we'll buy some more furniture and supplies, and then we can move into our new home!" Fang Yu said, gently pulling Fang Xin, who was staring intently at the new house, and slowly leading her towards the tent.

Fang Xin's excitement was overwhelming, like a surging tide. After all, this beautiful new home was exactly what she had always longed for.

What's even more remarkable is that it was completed smoothly in such a short time. Thinking about moving in soon and starting a new chapter in her life, Fang Xin was so excited that she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

In fact, Li felt the same way. Although she didn't say anything, she was just as excited as Fang Xin.

Unable to sleep until midnight, she carried Fang Youfu's memorial tablet out of the tent and stood in front of the new courtyard gate, remaining silent for a long time.

She never imagined that she and her two daughters could live a good life after leaving the Fang family. Of course, this was all thanks to her two daughters, and she, as their mother, couldn't let them down.

How long did Li stand at the door? In fact, Fang Yu had been watching from the tent entrance for just as long.

Fang Yu also looked up at the soon-to-be-full silver moon, feeling that it was all worthwhile.

Early in the morning, before Fang Yu even opened her eyes, she felt a warm breath very close to her face. She opened her eyes abruptly and saw Fang Xin's expectant face right in front of her.

"Sister, you're awake."

Fang Yu knew that Fang Xin was in a hurry to go to the city.

Li had already set breakfast on the table, her smile faint. Fang Yu came out and said, "Mother, why don't you come with us? The courtyard is finished, and there's no one left at home."

This time, Li did not refuse: "Okay, then let's go together after breakfast."

The mother and her two daughters rode together in Uncle Liu's oxcart for the first time. Bai's mother, who was also going to the city, wanted to get on the cart, but she hesitated when she saw that it was the mother and her two daughters.

Although Li knew Bai's mother's character, she wouldn't hold it against her, since the oxcart belonged to Uncle Liu and anyone in the village could ride in it.

Li even made room for her, but it was precisely this kind gesture that startled Bai's mother, who not only stepped back but also waved to Uncle Liu, saying, "I don't have anything important to do today, I'll just walk."

Although Bai's mother was looking at Uncle Liu when she said this, her guilty gaze still swept over Fang Yu and Fang Xin beside her.
