"An'an, be careful not to squeeze Tangtang."

Cheng Qiqi looked at Jin Suian, who was particularly excited on the bed, and reminded her that she had a fever yesterday, but after the fever subsided, she was fine during the day today. She secretly gave her medicine again, and the little girl's fever has gone down and she is in good condition.

With Tangtang by her side, the little girl seemed to be in good spirits and was no longer affected by what happened yesterday.

Chaosheng County Government Office.

Chu Zheng returned to the yamen, her face contorted with murderous intent. Wasn't her good mother-in-law trying to kill her and her daughter so that someone else could take their place?

She insisted on living a good life with her daughter!

Su Ming didn't take any initiative to take a concubine, so why should her good mother-in-law interfere with their lives?

……

"Sixth brother, sixth brother's wife, you and your family shouldn't stay in the village. Go to my parents' home in Santian County."

Granny Zhuang looked at the sixth couple, who had been wailing all night yesterday and all night today, and became more and more annoyed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Juhua immediately protested: "Mother, you can't send us away!"

Mita Prefecture sounds like it has a lot of farmland, but in reality? It's all mountains.

Compared to their Chaosheng County, it's far inferior.

Their Chaosheng County is located between mountains and the sea, and they grow sugarcane; their lives are much better than those in Santian County.

"Are you going to offend everyone by staying here?"

Granny Zhuang gave her a cold glare: "Last time, you talked nonsense, and I took you to apologize. They didn't hold it against you and let Fifth Brother and Third Brother continue working at the sugar mill. And now?"

"What nonsense are you spouting in front of the child? Her father is dead, do you need to come here and hurt her feelings?"

Granny Zhuang said irritably, "And Erni, hitting people with a stick! Is that something you can do?"

"This child, when hitting someone, how can he distinguish between light and heavy blows?"

Chen Juhua felt a little guilty and then said, "Mother, you're biased. Third Brother and Fifth Brother are both at the sugar shop, but my family isn't."

"hehe."

Granny Zhuang sneered, "Sixth brother, give him this chance, do you think he can handle it?"

Zhuang Liu guiltily looked away; the work at the sugar mill was too hard.

Chen Juhua glared at Zhuang Liu and said, "Mother, we didn't even catch anything, so why are we going to Santian County?"

"We're not leaving."

Chen Juhua didn't want to leave. Her family was already doing well thanks to her hardworking parents. If they went to Santian County, wouldn't life be even harder?

"Mother, you're only biased because we didn't give birth to a son!"

Chen Juhua was so angry that she kept shouting that she didn't want to go to Santian County to live a hard life.

"They also gave birth to a girl, they..."

Before Chen Juhua could finish speaking, Granny Zhuang's feather duster struck Zhuang Liu directly: "He's the only son of the Jin family! And you? You have three daughters, can you compare to one of them?"

"Luckily, it didn't hit us. If it had, do you think we could still work at the sugar mill?"

"Go to Mita Prefecture to lay low for a while, and come back during the autumn harvest."

With a single sentence, Granny Zhuang settled the matter, and Zhuang De agreed, saying, "Sixth Brother, you should pack your things and leave tomorrow."

"Dad, we're still in pain."

Zhuang Liu didn't want to leave either; his whole body ached all night yesterday, and it still hurts now.

"Alright, the doctor has already come to check, there's nothing wrong."

Zhuang De suspected that the couple might not want to leave and were deliberately using this as an excuse to stay.

"..."

Zhuang Liu and Chen Juhua were both cursing and swearing; they were really in pain!

……

The Jin family.

As soon as it was light, Jin Yanzhi, along with Jin Lizhi and several brothers of the same generation, went straight to the mountain to practice their martial arts.

Ever since he beat up Zhuang Liu, Jin Yanzhi felt that his body was much stronger!

Zhuang Liu, that's a farmer. He used to be someone I couldn't beat, but now he's actually able to dominate him!

Jin Yanzhi initially felt tired, but now he's even more enthusiastic about practicing martial arts.

"Ah, no pain, no gain!"

Jin Yanzhi gritted his teeth and persevered. Summer hadn't arrived yet, and they were wearing thin shirts, but they still broke out in a sweat while practicing.

"If only I had started practicing martial arts earlier, I wouldn't be so tired now."

Jin Mingzhi, from the fourth branch of the family, was trembling in his calves.

"It's not too late now."

Jin Cizhi now has a leisurely job, but after experiencing exile, he also wants to practice martial arts and improve his physical condition.

"Alright, you're lucky you get to practice martial arts. Do you want to be whipped?"

Jin Lizhi was the oldest among them. He took a deep breath. Although he was tired, he found the work much easier. He said, "Let's go see if there are any wild rabbits or anything."

"Walk."

Jin Yanzhi glanced at the sky, and the brothers immediately headed to the place where they had set the trap.

"Master is amazing!"

Upon seeing the wild rabbit in the trap, Jin Yanzhi excitedly exclaimed, "The method Master taught me is truly amazing!"

"Yanzhi, your master is indeed quite amazing."

Jin Lizhi asked疑惑地, "Why does he seem like my older brother?"

Jin Yanzhi, who was excitedly catching rabbits, couldn't help but shudder upon hearing this and said, "Jin Lizhi, how long has it been since my older brother passed away?"

Jin Yanzhi felt a chill run down his spine. He glanced around before saying, "Perhaps Master has spent too much time with my elder brother? Is that why he acts like him?"

"I thought you weren't afraid of your older brother."

Jin Lizhi looked at Jin Yanzhi meaningfully. Otherwise, how could he dare to make a move on his sister-in-law?

"Who's afraid?"

Jin Yanzhi said with his neck stiff, then added, "We were lucky today, there were five rabbits. We divided them among the four families, and the extra one is for Runzhi, his wife is in confinement after childbirth."

He quickly changed the subject, as mentioning his elder brother always sent chills down his spine.

……

"Qiqi, are you going to the shop in the county town today?"

Aunt He stood outside the kitchen, chatting with Cheng Qiqi, and said, "I spent the whole day picking toon leaves yesterday, for you."

"right."

Cheng Qiqi glanced at the fresh toon leaves in her hand, then looked at Madam He, who seemed hesitant to speak, and asked, "Is there something you need, Aunt?"

Among the three branches of the Jin family, He Shi was the one who liked to take advantage of others the most; Wen Shi was gentle and had good cooking skills; and Li Shi was quiet, but when it came to embroidery, she was a master craftswoman.

That's right.

He looked at Cheng Qiqi somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Your mother-in-law and your fourth aunt are embroidering, and your third aunt is making fish balls. I... could I find some work to do too?"

She started out pounding dough, but later, when the sugar mill needed help, she went to pack sugar. The work was easy, but she didn't earn much money.

Li Shi and Liu Suyi were good at embroidery, earning a lot of money, which wasn't something everyone could earn. But Wen Shi earned more than her by making fish balls.

"Auntie, is working at the sugar mill difficult?"

Cheng Qiqi looked up. As far as she knew, He's business at the sugar shop was doing quite well.

"I didn't earn enough money."

Somewhat embarrassed, Mrs. He said, "Qiqi, do you know any jobs that pay a little more?"
