Tuan Chong is five and a half years old and started his fortune from farming.

At this time, Duan Yunian was thinking about life in the house he bought. Yujing received a letter. His grandmother was seriously ill and she urged him to return to the hall to fulfill his filial piety.

"Ugh."

Sad.

The ancestors of the Duan family also held the position of Governor of Water Transport.

Later, I became depressed and gradually started doing business.

Now in Yujing, he has also left a considerable fortune.

He was the bastard son of the family, and his biological mother died after giving birth to him. He was adopted by his aunt-in-law and assumed the title of eldest daughter-in-law.

Although his aunt treats him as if he were her own son, he knows that the family property belongs to his brother, and he should not and cannot take part in it.

Therefore, as soon as he came of age, he left home and set out on his own, acting wildly and unruly to dispel the suspicion of his brother and aunt.

Even though his father angrily scolded him for being useless, he resolutely stayed away from Yujing.

I only send generous gifts back to Beijing during the New Year and holidays.

Now without realizing it, eight years have passed.

His brother wrote a letter urging him to go back, and mentioned in the letter that his father and mother had found a girl from a family for him, and hoped that he would go back and get married together, and then stay in Yujing and support each other as a family.
To be honest, his aunt was indeed a good mistress. From childhood, even though he was not his biological child, she gave him everything she should and shouldn't have.

It's impossible not to go back.

But when I go back, I will face the urge to get married.

Why has he stayed in Ping'an Town for so many years, but for that heartless woman~
Yesterday, he shamelessly asked her again in the name of buying wine:
"Hey, ladies, would you like to go back to Yujing with me to eat well and drink spicy food?"

"Crack~"

He was slapped again and again, and got the same answer as before:

"rogue!"

Oh no, this time, there is one more——

"roll!"

Hey, the slap marks on my face haven't gone away yet. Why open a shop? Close it!

The old housekeeper brought medicine to reduce the swelling and couldn't help but mention:
"Second Young Master, the master's family is urging me again. You'd better make a decision as soon as possible."

"Come on, let's go, I can't stand this injustice anymore!"

Duan Yunian's mood became worse and worse after hearing this. It was already noon, and the woman didn't come to see him. Huh, ruthless!

"Hey, I'm going to pack your luggage right now!"

The old housekeeper was in tears, and the young master finally figured it out!

I don’t know what’s going on with the young master’s eyes, but he has fallen in love with a little widow!

Because of this widow, I stayed in this remote place in Ping'an Town for eight years!
Every time the mistress sent a letter to inquire about the second young master, he would not dare to say that the second young master was obsessed with a widow!
Secretly, he thought that the widow was not worthy of his young master!
"Wait~"

Duan Yunian changed his mind again and said:
"Don't rush to clean up now. I'll go out and talk about it when I get back."

It’s about a man’s dignity and his lifelong happiness!
He wanted to go to the liquor store again and ask again in person.

If that woman still refuses, he, he will really leave!

The kind that won’t come back!

The old housekeeper was dumbfounded. He cooperated with his young master, but he still couldn’t change the dog and eat it~
snort!
Du's Liquor Shop.

The person who had ordered more than a dozen jars of wine knocked on the door to buy the goods, and Du Jiuniang opened the door to welcome the guests.

Fu Bao heard the noise and took advantage of the fact that there were no customers in the shop, so he leaned on the door and peeked at Aunt Du.

His face is pale and his eyes are slightly red. Are you crying?

Just when Fu Bao wanted to take a closer look, the door frame made a sound, revealing himself.

"Hi~"

Fu Bao said hello awkwardly, and then changed the topic:
"Aunt Du, have you eaten?"

Du Jiuniang had already noticed that Fu Bao was peeking at her, but how could such a big child have any evil intentions?
The little guy's face was full of concern when he saw her again. Her heart softened and she cheered up:

"Ate."

Fu Bao walked over, hugged the other person's arm, shook it, and said coquettishly:
"Then if aunt is not busy, why not come to my shop and eat a piece of watermelon."

"Alright."

Du Jiuniang liked children very much. How could she refuse when Fu Bao was holding him like this and talking softly and coquettishly? Returning to the shop, he took out the closing sign from behind the counter and hung it on the door, leaving the door of the shop half closed, and then followed the little guy back to the jewelry shop.

"Sister, I'm sorry for bothering you."

Mrs. Liu closed her account book and greeted her enthusiastically——

"Jiuniang is here. Sit down quickly. I'll cut the watermelon. It'll be quick."

"Sorry for bothering you."

Du Jiuniang said awkwardly, and then she was pushed by Xiao Fubao to sit down in front of the Eight Immortals table.

"Hello Aunt Du."

Song Yu was sorting out the jewelry that had been messed up by customers on the shelves. When she saw the visitor, she walked over and said hello.

"Brother Yu."

Du Jiuniang nodded and looked at each other.

Fu Bao was not so restrained. He climbed onto the chair and poured water for Aunt Du.

But in the eyes of the other two people, if they were not careful, they would fall down, so how could they dare to let her do it.

"I come."

Song Yu took the lead, and while holding the little fiancée steady, he reached out and took the teapot.

Du Jiuniang looked at the golden boy and girl and couldn't help but think of her husband who died early. They were also golden boys and girls in the eyes of others.
Time flies by, everything is just memories and sentimentality.

"Aunt Du, please have some tea."

After Song Yu poured two cups of herbal tea, he handed one over and made a greeting gesture with his right hand.

Du Jiuniang came back to her senses, smiled slightly, thanked her, picked up the tea, and took a sip.

The tea tastes slightly bitter in the mouth, followed by sweetness.

Fubao could feel the sadness, pain, and suffering on Aunt Du's body.

I couldn't help but persuade him with the help of tea:

"Aunt Du, tea is like life, bitter at first and then sweet."

"How old are you, little girl, how do you understand?"

Du Jiuniang hesitated to speak, and finally did not speak again.

Mrs. Liu happened to have cut the watermelon, brought it over, and said enthusiastically:

"I brought a melon from home today and chilled it with well water. It's very sweet. You can try it. You're welcome."

After saying that, he distributed them to Du Jiuniang, then Brother Yu, then his daughter, and finally himself.

"Don't spit the melon seeds on the ground. I will collect them and we will plant them next year."

When Fu Bao heard his mother say this, he spat out the melon seeds in the palm of his hand, thinking that this melon was planted by Song Yu and watered by space water, so it was naturally sweet and juicy.

"I also saved some seeds. This melon is not bad, better than the ones bought in the market."

Du Jiuniang was still a little bitter at first, but now she forgot what she was thinking.

Focus on eating the melon. This melon tastes better than anything she has ever tasted!

Song Yu didn't say anything. He had eaten a lot of watermelons he grew in space, so he knew the taste was extraordinary!

"Du Jiuniang, come out here. I have something to tell you!"

"Bang bang bang~"

There was a knock on the door of the shop next door. This sound sounded so familiar!

Fu Bao choked and suddenly remembered that it belonged to shopkeeper Duan next door!
"Thank you for the hospitality. I'll go back and have a look."

Du Jiuniang wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, her tone full of helplessness.

Mrs. Liu was not aware of the love-hate relationship between the two, and subconsciously said:

"Is everything going to be okay?"

"Will not."

Du Jiuniang shook her head and stood up to say goodbye.

Fu Bao grabbed her mother's sleeve and signaled her not to follow her (End of Chapter)
