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

"Qiqi, your brother-in-law is quite capable. He does whatever you tell him to do."

As Tian watched Jin Yanzhi kneading the jelly, she saw how seriously he was doing it, following Cheng Qiqi's instructions exactly as she had described.

That's too obedient.

"Aunt Tian, ​​he used to listen to his brother the most, but now, he probably treats me like his brother?"

Cheng Qiqi turned her head and looked at Jin Yanzhi's face. She had to admit that the Jin family members had very good features. He had lost the boyish look he used to have. Now, Jin Yanzhi was darker and thinner, but he looked more energetic.

"what……"

Tian looked at Jin Yanzhi, then at Cheng Qiqi, her eyes filled with a hesitant expression, clearly wanting to say something but holding it in!

"How old is he again?"

The old woman asked a question.

"Sixteen or seventeen, I guess?"

Cheng Qiqi said uncertainly.

"Eighteen! I'm eighteen this year!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Yanzhi stood up excitedly to correct him.

"Oh, he's still just a child."

Cheng Qiqi said with a smile, then said with a straight face, "Jin Yanzhi, don't move. You still need to rub and squeeze the jelly in your hand hard, so as not to waste it."

Jin Yanzhi looked at her, then at the jelly in his hand. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he obediently lowered his head and started rubbing the jelly. It would be such a pity to waste such delicious jelly.

Cheng Qiqi smiled helplessly. Tian Shi and Granny Leng exchanged a glance. It seemed that the rumors were not to be believed!

Cheng Qiqi clearly treats Jin Yanzhi like a child who hasn't grown up.

What about Jin Yanzhi?

Perhaps he used to have a good relationship with his older brother, but now that his brother is gone, he's placed that dependence on his sister-in-law?

After they finished imagining it, a question arose in their minds: Could the legitimate son and the illegitimate son have such a good relationship?

"He has always admired his older brother since he was a child."

Cheng Qiqi spoke earnestly, as if she knew what they were thinking.

Lin Huilan, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation, exclaimed, "Yes, he idolizes his older brother!"

Liu Suyi raised her eyes, a fleeting look of disdain in them.

Cheng Qiqi nodded quite seriously.

As Madam Tian and Granny Leng left, they said, "If any more of these unfounded rumors circulate in the village, we must teach them a lesson!"

"You're right. It's not easy for Qiqi, a widow, to raise her daughter alone."

The old woman nodded in complete agreement.

Cheng Qiqi achieved her goal and added jelly to her repertoire, so she was in an exceptionally good mood. After putting her daughter to sleep, she listened to Chun Tao talk about what her daughter had been doing with Tangtang that day.

"Sister Qiqi, Miss Tangtang really likes our An'an. When the house was being built, she even said she wanted to save a room for An'an."

Chun Tao looked proud, as if she were praising herself, and said, "Our An'an is just so lovable."

Every time An'an calls her "Aunt Chuntao" so affectionately, she feels so happy!

"An'an is like a little sun."

Cheng Qiqi lowered her head slightly, looking at her daughter's adorable sleeping face, and said, "Chuntao, you should go to sleep early too."

With Chun Tao around, Cheng Qiqi could finally do whatever she wanted without worry.

Cheng Qiqi hugged An'an, but her consciousness had already sunk into the space. She had to find out what the jelly grass looked like!

Is it different from what she remembers?

The space inside the "Peace and Safety" sign was filled with all sorts of supplies, as if... someone had prepared them in advance.

Could it be that Mom and Dad knew there was a space inside?

Cheng Qiqi recalled her childhood, how her parents, despite being incredibly wealthy, always tried to cultivate her independence. Her doubts flashed by, and in the end, she stopped thinking about anything!

found it!

Cheng Qiqi used her consciousness to find the book, which was very fast. She quietly got up.

"Sister Qiqi, do you need to get up in the middle of the night?"

Chun Tao rubbed her eyes, still half asleep, and tried to sit up.

"No, you should go to sleep."

Cheng Qiqi suppressed her urge to read it, comforting herself: Anyway, the book has been found, it won't run away.

Cheng Qiqi fell asleep peacefully with her daughter in her arms. As soon as it was light, Cheng Qiqi got up and, by the light, saw clearly what the jelly grass looked like. It was the same jelly grass she had obtained yesterday, and she was overjoyed!

Her memory is still very good!

With the grass jelly available, she can pick more while she still has the time, and make grass jelly later, which will definitely be delicious!

Hmm, it would be nice to have milk.

Cheng Qiqi went straight to pick some grass jelly!

"Sister-in-law, I'll go with you."

Jin Xueer followed behind her like a little tail.

"And me too."

Jin Qing'er followed.

"Okay, you guys are just in time. Come with me to pick some grass jelly."

As Cheng Qiqi walked, she picked up the grass jelly from yesterday and taught them how to identify it.

Jin Xue'er and Jin Qing'er studied diligently, and when they arrived at their destination, they discovered the grass jelly and picked it with even greater care.

Meadow jelly grass grows in abundance, and Cheng Qiqi and her two companions worked all morning, carrying two large bundles of it back home.

"Sister-in-law, I can carry this."

Jin Xueer tied a rope around her neck and carried it on her back.

"Xue'er, are you sure you can do this?"

Cheng Qiqi looked at the proactive Jin Xueer. Although the grass wasn't heavy, Jin Xueer... used to be someone who never lifted a finger.

"able."

Jin Xue'er stumbled, using a wooden stick she had picked up for support. She looked up, grinning, and said, "See, I'm fine."

Jin Xueer made some adjustments at first, and soon she was able to walk very well again.

"Here, I'll carry them. Qing'er, you take the smaller ones."

Cheng Qiqi also carried a bundle, while the remaining scattered tools and jelly grass were left to Jin Qing'er.

Back home, Madam Tian and Granny Leng arrived, bringing a pile of jelly-like fruit. Madam Tian asked, "Qiqi, are you going to the shop today?"

"No, these grass jelly plants need to be dried before they can be used."

Cheng Qiqi plans to pick more, dry them, and then make grass jelly later.

"Alright, the village has already arranged for people to pick the jelly fruit. Also, what are these things for? How many people do you think can do the work?"

Ms. Tian inquired.

Cheng Qiqi glanced at the work at home and said, "Aunt Tian, ​​let's see how much cold noodles we need to sell this afternoon. If we sell a lot, we'll make more in the morning and send a batch to sell in the afternoon."

"That……"

Tian and Granny Leng exchanged a glance. Granny Leng said, "Then let's go to the workshop first. I'll send three people over to make the cold noodles."

After everything was agreed upon, Cheng Qiqi relaxed.

Jin Xueer and her group went to the shop. With yesterday's experience, everyone was full of confidence today.

As soon as Jin Xue'er arrived at the shop, a bowl of vegetable leaves was thrown at her and her group.

The rotten vegetable leaves smelled foul and putrid.

vomit……

Jin Xue'er's stomach churned.

"Folks, come quick! This heartless shop is using poisonous cassava to make taro balls! My husband is still lying unconscious in the hospital!"

A woman's scream rang out.
