Just a few days after Li Shiliang got married, it was time for the manager of the bookstore in the city to change shifts again, and this time it was Li Wangshui's turn.

Originally, Li Wangshui told Li Shiyue that he didn't want to go to the provincial capital for his rotation.

".It is enough for me to take care of the house construction. We can just build it in our village. Why go to the capital?

I am clumsy with words and hands, how can I greet people?"

Li Shiyue advised him, "Uncle Wangshui, this shop has just opened and you are part of it, how can you not know everything?

This time, we will go there for ten days to see how it goes. When the shop is on track, whoever among you is willing can become the permanent shopkeeper.
If no one is willing, that's fine. We can just find someone to be the manager.

But, at the beginning, you can't be ignorant, you have to look at the process and know how the bookstore operates."

After Li Shiyue said so, Li Wangshui agreed to go with him to broaden his horizons. He would work for ten days and then return to the village to work on building the house.

"Don't worry, Uncle Wangshui, it will only take ten days. After ten days, I will bring someone to pick you up.

When you come back, I will gather people to repair and widen the road and bridge before the autumn harvest. I am also thinking of finding someone to build two watchtowers at the head and end of the village."

While chatting about these miscellaneous things, Li Shiyue and his friends drove out of Liujiatun.

In addition to Li Wangshui, Li Qiutian also went to the provincial capital this time.

As for Li Xiatian and Shitou, they were left at home by Li Shiyue. Li Shiyue specifically talked to Li Xiatian and asked her to help accompany Yan Jiuniang more.

Yan Jiuniang has been working in the paper mill with Li's mother and others these days. Of course, she is not completely unfamiliar with papermaking, but this is her first time to actually make paper, and she is just getting excited.

Li Shiyue thought that it was a good thing that he had thought of a way to increase revenue earlier. Now that he had a paper mill, it would be a steady source of money for the village, and it would also be a good thing to have something to do during the slack season, as he wouldn't have to leave home to find work in the town or county.

Isn’t it a good thing to earn money right at your doorstep?

Li Shiyue, who was wearing a straw hat, lifted the brim of his hat and looked forward. He saw Qin Tao and Li Shigui not far ahead on the road.

Qin Tao's aqua blue dress was too eye-catching on this country road.

Not to mention that Li Shigui was wearing a moon-white scholar's gown, which was even more rare in the countryside.

The two men sat on either side of the cart, driving the donkey on the road ahead.

In fact, seeing Qin Tao and Li Shigui at Li Shiliang’s wedding a few days ago was quite strange to Li Shiyue.

Ever since he had a fleeting encounter with Li Chunli in a private room on the second floor of Yuelai Restaurant during the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Shiyue hadn't thought about the heroine's family in the original novel for quite some time.

Qin Tao's family directly rented out the land they were allocated to families with many sons in the village. It was impossible for Qin Tao to work in the fields, and it was even more impossible for Li Shigui.

Li Shiyue heard Li Shiyang mention this the last time he went to Sanshan County to deliver paper to him: "Li Chunli became the concubine of the Prince of Zhenbei. I heard these two days that Li Shigui was sent by Qin Tao to study in the prefectural school in the prefectural city.

When you meet Wang Ming, ask him if this is true?"

Li Shiyue actually asked Li Wangming, and Li Wangming said that he was in Class 3, Grade A of the provincial school. He had never seen Li Shigui in any of the three classes in Class 3, and he didn't know whether Li Shigui had come to any of the other Classes 2 or 3.

However, since then, Li Shiyue has been busy with her own affairs and has not paid much attention to Qin Tao's family. She did not think about paying attention to Qin Tao's family, and after asking Li Wangming who knew nothing, she forgot about this matter.

So, she was a little surprised when she saw Qin Tao and Li Shigui sitting on the cart in front of her.

Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian looked at each other, and both of them felt that something was definitely going on here.

However, due to a person like Li's father, there is some estrangement between the two families.

When we were in Liujiatun, we just kept to ourselves.

Qin Tao is also a person who knows how to behave. Since she settled down, except for the time when Prince Liu Shu lived in their house, she has never caused trouble in the village. She always lives her own life behind closed doors.

Even if it was to rent the land to others, it was Li Shigui who was in charge.

When the conflict between Li Shiyue and Li Youfu was most intense, their whole family was silent.

Whenever the village called him to discuss something, Li Shigui would go, but he never said anything and just seemed to follow the crowd.

All in all, there is a feeling of being away from the village.

To Li Shiyue, this just means that since they have married the Prince of Zhenbei, their family has become respectable, so they don't care about the Li clan or anyone else.

But what's wrong with that?
She does have Liu Shu as her backer. If Li Chunli gives birth to a baby in the future, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, they will be able to live a good life in wealth and luxury.

There is really no need to be like them, figuring out how to work hard so that you can live a good life under this big black mountain.

Thinking of this, Li Shiyue suddenly had an idea: "Oh my god, could it be that Li Chunli is about to give birth?"

I calculated the days carefully in my mind, and counted the time tightly. Don't say it, don't say it, Li Chunli is really going to give birth soon!
When the horse-drawn carriage caught up with Qin Tao and her companions' donkey cart, Li Shiyue glanced at the donkey cart and saw that there were not many things on it. He thought that Li Chunli must have given birth in the palace.

Liu Shu already has a baby, so there must be a fixed midwife or something in the palace, so there is no need for Qin Tao to prepare anything.

Li Shiyue didn't say anything, and no one from Qin Tao's side greeted him or spoke. The carriage moved fast, and in a few breaths it overtook the donkey cart and went ahead.

Li Wangshui, who was driving the mule cart behind the carriage, naturally would not bother to talk to Qin Tao, so he drove the mule to chase after Li Shiyue's carriage.

After they were some distance away from Qin Tao and their donkey cart, Li Shiyue whispered to Li Qiutian beside her, "Sister, Li Chunli is about to give birth. Qin Tao should go now to prepare to take care of Li Chunli during her confinement."

After Li Shiyue said this, Li Qiutian let out an "Ah!" and then she realized that, yes, Li Chunli was about to give birth!

"Shiyue, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about this.

I always think that we are about the same age as Li Chunli, and I am two years older than her, so I always forget that she has become a maid. "

"Haha, sister, let's not talk about her. My aunt definitely didn't tell you that a matchmaker has come to our house!"
