Exiled to Lingnan, the Crown Prince's wife raises children, cultivates the land, and leads the

"Mine will also be kept by my sister-in-law."

Jin Yanzhi immediately took his money out. He didn't earn much money. He had made some money selling sauerkraut porridge before, and later he worked in the fields. He also occasionally earned some extra money by hunting.

"And mine too."

Jin Xue'er earned even less money. Looking at the little money she had, she said embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll work hard in the shop, and I'll give all the money I earn to you in the future."

"..."

Lin Huilan was furious as she watched her two children handing money to Cheng Qiqi. She wondered if the two siblings had something wrong with their brains.

"Aunt Lin, what about yours?"

Liu Suyi looked at Lin Huilan and said, "We've been eating and drinking together all these days, and apart from contributing some grain, you haven't contributed a single penny."

"Doesn't Yanzhi often come back from hunting? He makes sure everyone has meat to eat."

Lin Huilan cleared her throat, her gaze towards the Marquis of Zhongyong filled with sorrow, and said, "My lord, we are all family, is it necessary to be so calculating?"

The Marquis of Zhongyong looked at her with his copper bell-like eyes: "If you want to eat together, then pay the public funds."

"What you say is true, sir."

Lin Huilan still had a smile on her face, but in her heart she had already cursed him eight hundred times. From the very beginning of embroidering handkerchiefs to embroidering screens and tailoring spring clothes, Lin Huilan had saved up a few taels of silver.

"Wait a minute, Dad, Mom, the spring planting is finished, should we continue eating separately?"

Seeing Lin Huilan's smiling face but resentful expression, Cheng Qiqi immediately said, "Before, our whole family cooked together every day, which was quite tiring."

With the addition of Lin Huilan and her family of three, the extra amount of food and dishes required was considerable.

Lin Huilan's cooking skills are not good, and Jin Xueer wants to help, but she is willing but unable to.

As for chopping firewood?

With the loyal and brave Marquis around, the family never lacked firewood.

The old lady was capable of doing chores, but given her age, Cheng Qiqi was really embarrassed to let her do them.

Liu Suyi has improved a lot. Most of the time, she, Chuntao, and Liu Suyi are the ones cooking. During spring planting, she and Wen Shi cook together most of the time.

"That's true, Qiqi. I didn't think it through. Let's continue as before and eat separately."

Liu Suyi immediately sided with Cheng Qiqi.

Jin Yanzhi immediately became anxious: "Mother, sister-in-law, we are family! How can we eat separately? That's so inconvenient!"

After eating his sister-in-law's cooking for so long, now he's being asked to eat pig feed made by Lin Huilan?

Even a dog wouldn't want to eat it.

mother.

Hearing this address, Lin Huilan felt her fingertips dig into the flesh of her palms. This was the son she had carried for ten months and given birth to!

"That's right, sister-in-law, we're family."

Jin Xueer no longer wanted to eat the food Lin Huilan cooked.

"Can't family members eat separately? Back in the mansion, didn't we always eat separately?"

Liu Suyi had originally planned to control the money and let Qiqi manage the household, but since Qiqi was unwilling, then so be it: "Mother, Master, you agree, right?"

As for Jin Yanzhi calling her "mother," she disdained it completely; she had only one son.

"right."

Marquis Zhongyong nodded and said, "Yanzhi, you're not a child anymore. What kind of behavior is it to always follow your sister-in-law around?"

"That's right, you should eat separately."

With just one sentence from Madam Jin, Jin Yanzhi was left speechless, unable to utter a single word.

He... seemed to have no way to refute that statement.

Cheng Qiqi's feelings were complicated upon hearing this, but she was mostly happy.

If it were like Zhuang Sanmei's in-laws, forcing her younger brother to marry his widowed sister-in-law, that would be truly heartbreaking.

To be honest, after learning about Zhuang Sanmei's situation, Cheng Qiqi felt even more fortunate. Although the former Marquis's mansion didn't like her and her daughter and felt that they had brought shame to the mansion,

But at least three meals a day were never neglected.

After being exiled, she demonstrated some of her abilities along the way. With her own space, it was easy for her to eat, drink, and dress well.

The food in the space, kept fresh, including chicken, duck, fish, and meat, was piled up like a small mountain. The challenge was how to take it out reasonably without arousing suspicion.

When Cheng Qiqi arrived in Lingnan, she was able to accept the attitude of the Jin family as she did business.

The Jin family didn't try to find ways to help her just because she could make money; everyone in the Jin family was working hard.

Perhaps everyone has their own little quirks and flaws, but no one is perfect, and at least no one has been ungrateful.

Oh, except for Lin Huilan.

She hadn't finished settling scores with the Marquis's family yet. Although Cui Lie wouldn't let her and her daughter off the hook, if Lin Huilan hadn't brought it up, they might not have been exiled as well.

Cheng Qiqi glanced at Lin Huilan and agreed to let her embroider, not wanting her to hold her back.

"Mother, I'm going back to my room now."

Cheng Qiqi went back to her room to check on the two children. Ever since Tangtang arrived, her daughter has had a playmate. After having dinner with Tangtang, she would go straight to her room.

Tangtang brought a lot of dolls to play with, as well as various pretty little hair accessories. The two sisters played together, chatting and laughing.

"Aunt Liu, Tangtang is at home, is it really true that she can't eat?"

Cheng Qiqi was having a great time playing, and even ate some dried fish. It didn't look like she was vomiting everything she ate!

"Miss, you really like Miss An'an."

Liu Ma was overjoyed. Originally, she thought that sending her daughter to the Jin family, the home of exiled prisoners, would only make the young lady suffer.

But now, Liu Ma thinks that Madam did the right thing.

During the day, Cheng Qiqi was not at home, which made Liu Ma a little unhappy. After all, the young lady was the daughter of the county magistrate and had come to the Jin family as a guest.

The host, Cheng Qiqi, was not present.

She and Chun Tao stayed with Jin Sui'an and Miss Tangtang, and soon her unhappiness disappeared.

Jin Sui'an is only four years old, but he's really capable of doing chores.

In the morning, I put on my hat and went to pick rabbit grass. I skipped and hopped all the way, and Tangtang and I were wearing little flowers. We looked so cute.

Back home, after breakfast, An'an took Tangtang to feed the rabbits again. The two sisters could watch and play with the chubby rabbits for half a day.

After lunch, I took Tangtang to sleep.

After waking up, An'an took Tangtang to the vegetable garden to pick amaranth and eggplants, following behind Grandma Jin as diligently as a little bee.

Tangtang followed behind, her smile never fading.

"An'an also likes Tangtang very much. An'an is all alone, she doesn't have any friends or sisters of similar age."

Cheng Qiqi leaned against the door, feeling happy as she watched her daughter being happy.

"Isn't that a coincidence? My young lady doesn't have any female companions either."

Aunt Liu's eyes narrowed with laughter. She had a feeling that in a few days, Tangtang's thin little face might even gain a little weight!

"Qiqi, Suyi, are you home?"

Outside the door, the village's daughter-in-law, Tian, ​​arrived.
