Li's mother and Zheng Meiniang really used all their best skills, but as a good cook cannot cook without rice, what was finally served on the table was actually just a pile of white flour pancakes, some pickled radish strips from their own home, and a plate of fried eggs with chopped wild onions.

Mother Li felt a little embarrassed. She said to Yan Jiuniang, who looked serious even when she was sitting cross-legged on the kang, "Mr. Yan, don't be disgusted. There are not many good things at home. You can just make do with a few bites for now.

I'll buy a chicken and stew it at home later!
Come on, give it to me. You’re welcome.”

Yan Jiuniang took the chopsticks handed to her by Li's mother. She could feel Li's mother's sincerity. The food on the table was certainly a little shabby compared to the eight bowls and twelve dishes she had eaten in the past.

But this was also carefully prepared by Li's mother. She used the best things in the house to prepare them especially for her guest.

In this world, sincerity is the most precious thing.

So, Yan Jiuniang naturally thanked him happily and gratefully. After watching Li Shiyue take a bite of the pancake, she stretched out her chopsticks towards the dishes on the table.

Naturally, Li's mother and Zheng Meiniang had already eaten. After exchanging glances with Li Shiyue, they left the room, leaving only Li Shiyue and Yan Jiuniang in the room to eat.

Outside, Li's mother and Zheng Meiniang discussed it and drove the donkey cart out to Qingsong Town.

According to what Li Shiyue said, Yan Jiuniang will have to live in their home for a while, so they need to add some things to the house.

Don't we have to buy clothes, bedding, dining utensils, and food?

Yan Jiuniang picked up the cup beside her and took a sip. The water had a hint of sweetness in her mouth. She didn't expect that the water in the cup was sweet!

As soon as Li Shiyue saw her expression, he knew what she meant, so he explained, "It contains honey, which my brother and I picked from the mountain.

It is specially used to coax children. This is the sweet water with honey added by your mother to coax you. "

Don’t listen to Li Shiyue’s words that this was just Li’s mother “coaxing the child” or something like that. Yan Jiuniang is a wealthy merchant, how could she not know the value of wild honey?
Mother Li took out the most precious things in the house to entertain her.

Her nose felt sore and she wanted to cry while chewing the soft white flour pancake.

"Hey, cry later, cry after you're full. Eat first, save these tears, and cry after you're full."

Li Shiyue picked up a piece of wild onion fried egg with the serving chopsticks on the table and gave it to Yan Jiuniang, signaling Yan Jiuniang to eat quickly.

Yan Jiuniang, who originally wanted to cry, was suddenly amused by Li Shiyue's words and burst into laughter.

Yan Jiuniang burst out laughing and glared at Li Shiyue with a hint of anger: "Shiyue, how can I cry when you say that?"

After they finished their meal, Li Shiyue scooped up some hot water, and they soaked their feet together, then lay down side by side on the kang.

"Come on, go to sleep. It would be best if you could sleep until the next day."

But even if Yan Jiuniang closed her eyes after lying down, she couldn't fall asleep in a short time.

Li Shiyue talked about what she was doing or about to do in Liujiatun in detail.

".The paper mill is now able to produce three grades of paper: high, medium and low. Shops have also opened on Shuyuan Street in the city.
I still have the house and school to build. We will have trade in the fall, but the bridge is not built yet, and the road is not repaired."

Amidst Li Shiyue's chattering, Yan Jiuniang finally fell asleep slowly.

Hearing Yan Jiuniang snoring beside her, Li Shiyue finally opened her eyes. She carefully got up from the kang and closed the door.

While Yan Jiuniang was asleep, Li's mother and Zheng Meiniang, who had returned from Qingsong Town with a lot of success, also learned from Li Shiyue that Yan Jiuniang was forced to marry.

"It should be three or four months, which means she will leave around the time after the autumn harvest. She will live in our village during this period. Our place is quite remote, and the King of Zhenbei will never guess that it is here.

And with the general helping to cover us, everything should be fine.

Even if we really find her, I will just run away with her.

We should always be moral people. When we were in the most difficult time, others helped us. When others are in trouble, we should also lend a hand.

Mother? Aunt? How is it?"

Mother Li was a little worried at first, after all, that was the King of Zhenbei, the highest official in Anton.

But later he heard that the general of the Xuanjia Army, Liu Tan, secretly supported Yan Jiuniang, and his family was now inextricably linked with Liu Tan, so what else could he do?

That's all I can do.

And as a mother, how could she bear to see such a beautiful girl like Yan Jiuniang being married off to a man much older than her as a stepmother just for power?

Put yourself in her shoes. If someone wants October to be someone else's stepmother, she would definitely be the first one to run away with October!
So, when Yan Jiuniang was awakened by the urge to urinate, she lay on the kang, feeling the warmth under her body and the smell of burning wood in the air. Only then did she realize that she was at Li Shiyue's house.

After getting off the kang fully dressed and opening the door, Yan Jiuniang saw Li Shiyue standing in the yard outside.

"Are you awake? Do you want to go to the toilet?"

After going to the toilet, Li's mother stuffed oily fruits into Yan Jiuniang's hands.

"Mr. Yan, don't despise me. This is a small place in town, and there are only two shops selling cakes. The fried cakes here are delicious, too. You can try them."

"Aunt, just call me Jiu Niang. Calling me sir is too formal."

Mother Li looked up at Li Shiyue who was eating a piece of oil fruit. After seeing Li Shiyue nod slightly, Mother Li smiled and nodded in response: "Well, OK, then I will follow Shiyue and call you Jiuniang."

After Li's mother poured a glass of water for Yan Jiuniang, she said to her in the dim light of the oil lamp: "Shiyue's aunt and I went to the town to buy you a new quilt and two sets of clothes according to your size.

Go try it on in your room later, and if it doesn’t fit, tell me and I’ll make some changes for you.”

So, when she returned to the house, Yan Jiuniang saw new bedding and two sets of clothes folded on one side.

One was peach pink, and the other looked like goose yellow, both bright colors that little girls liked.

"There are many rooms in our house. If you want to sleep alone, this room is for you. My aunt and I will sleep on the kang."

Yan Jiuniang also noticed that in the Li family, Li's mother and aunt slept in one room, Li Shiyue's brother slept in one room, and Li Shiyue and her two sisters slept in one room.

Yan Jiuniang did not respond to Li Shiyue's words. Instead, she rummaged around in her bosom and took out a small purse.

Putting the purse in Li Shiyue's hand, Yan Jiuniang said, "It's okay, I feel more at ease sleeping with you.

Take this, there are some gold leaves in it, spend it, and it will be my food money during the time I stay at your house."
