riginally, I also wanted to completely eliminate the hidden danger of the west wing and catch the main wife off guard.Who would have thought it would be exposed so quickly! At this point, there's no c...On the second day, all of Li's descendants were gathered around the old woman. The old woman directly announced that after her death, the house would be left to the fourth branch of the family.

Even when the house was built, and registered at the government office, it was directly put under the fourth son's name.

As for the second and third sons, when their children grew up and it was time to get married, the family would contribute silver and build an additional courtyard.

Li Lao'er and Li Laosan had no objections, but Li Laosì refused to do it.

After all, the eldest son inherits the family business. With the eldest brother gone, it should be the second brother living in the house. How come it ended up on him

Tao Hongying also blushed and declined, fearing that her three sisters-in-law, who were close to her, would think she had given the old lady a sleeping potion.

In the end, it was Old Lady Li who made the final decision. “I favor Fu Niuniu, and if she weren't so young, I would have directly put her name on the deed.”

Everyone fell silent, especially Li Lao Si and his wife. Their feelings were truly complicated.

Their daughter is less than two years old, and they're already riding on her coattails...

In front of the villagers, Li Laotai handed the silver to the village head, making up excuses on the spot, claiming she had borrowed the money from Mrs. Cui and would repay it later.

The villagers were all clamoring against accepting it, after all, they had kept their lives thanks to the Li family, and they now lived comfortably. Even if they were to give the Li family a free house, everyone felt it was justified.

But Old Lady Li was determined to give it, so the village head made the decision to take it.

He knew very well that the Li family was not trying to take advantage of the village. They wouldn't want anyone else to be crowded in the future. Seeing that the Li family had a large yard, he said some idle chatter, just to avoid spoiling the harmony.

This fifty taels of silver can allow the Li family to stand tall in front of everyone in the village, and no one will dare to say a word of objection.

It has to be said, Old Mrs. Li's這份 firmness and foresight are truly remarkable...

Mrs. Cui stayed for a day, soaking in a hot spring with the village women, then went to the fields to see the peanuts and sweet potatoes being planted before returning to the manor.

While Liu Zhiheng had already deftly disposed of the neighboring farms and contacted the Guo family.

Guo's nephew came out to negotiate the price, and in the end, the estate was left to Guo Shanchang's youngest grandson.

Perhaps it was Zhuangzi's affordable price, or perhaps because he knew that Mrs. Cui had once been classmates with his daughter-in-law, and even more so because he thought of the late Grand Scholar Cui, Guo Shanzhang insisted on visiting him after only a few days of moving into the new Zhuangzi to express his gratitude.

Mrs. Cui thought for a moment, then had someone send a message to Suijintan and even went in person to invite Master Liu.

Of course, Liu Ziheng wouldn't keep it a secret from his father. He had already told him everything about his relationship with the junior sister of the Guo family.

Mr. Liu also felt sympathy and understood that his niece was afraid Guo Shanchang would hear the bad news and might accidentally get hurt. He wanted to invite him to keep watch, so he readily agreed.

On the other side of Suijin Beach, Li Lao Tai also had this worry, so she specially invited Zhang Shini (renowned doctor) to have dinner together.

Tao Hongying made a minced meat stuffed tofu, garlic sauce small Chinese cabbage, emerald cabbage rolls, and an extra bowl of braised noodles for the old doctor.

Zhang Shenyi got along particularly well with the village head and Zhao Shu, a few others. They ate and slept together every day. Whatever good dishes the Li family had, they would send him a portion.

But such deliberate preparation is not common, after all, conditions are limited.

Dr. Zhang ate with satisfaction and naturally agreed to go with them tomorrow.

Jia Yin also wanted to join in the fun and take a stroll outside to clear her head.

Then, she nestled in the old woman's arms and acted cute, "Grandma, I want to go too!"

But Old Lady Li disagreed, "No way, last time Mrs. Cui took you to the estate, it almost caused a big commotion. You stay home with Grandma, alright Grandma will take you to Xia Wang Village to buy meat bones tomorrow, how about that"

Jiayin puckered her face, pouted her little mouth, and played with her fingers listlessly, neither saying good nor bad.

When the old lady wouldn't soften her heart, the whole family couldn't stand it anymore.

Zhao Yuru quickly helped to intercede, “Mother, there's a lot of work lately, and we don't have enough people to look after Funiu. It's better if he goes.”

"That's right, Mother. If you're not at ease, just let the fourth brother carry it on his back." Li Laosan also smiled and spoke.

Li Lao'er even directly hugged his niece and smiled, "Mother, it really won't work. I'll go with you too, specializing in taking care of Fu Niu."

"Grandma Li, you're really making me laugh and cry," said the old woman. "The whole family are good people, just me, the wicked grandmother"

Jiayin quickly ran back into her grandmother's arms and wiped a mouthful of saliva off her grandmother's face. "Grandma is the best, Grandma loves Funiu the most."

The old woman patted her granddaughter's little bottom lightly, and said helplessly, "Go on, go on, but your father and them have important things to say. You be good, don't be naughty."

"Okay, Grandma!" Jia Yin was overjoyed, fluttering around her family like a little butterfly, giving each person a kiss as a thank you. This made everyone laugh.

Jiā'ān jiāxǐ is also moved, but they want to watch the melons in the field.

Fortunately, Jiayin didn't forget her two older brothers. She reassured them, "Brothers, wait for me, I'll bring you delicious food when I get back."

The two boys immediately beamed with joy!

Jiārén thought of the books hidden in the Guo family's library and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Grandma, I also want to go with Fourth Uncle."

Li Laotai immediately agreed, "Go on, wash your hair and change into a clean long robe. You are a scholar, you've suffered these days."

Jiarren has always been working on the land, toiling up and down hills, until he became thin and dark from the sun. His hands were cracked from the work.

That's how it was; every day he continued practicing his left-hand characters on stone. Those at home, seeing him, would also be willing to have him go out for a walk.

For a moment, Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were busy preparing for the children. They helped Jiarren find clothes and gave Jia Yin a bath, hoping to make sure that the children looked tidy when they went out the next day.

They were born into poverty, there was no way to change that, but at least they shouldn't be ridiculed for their ragged appearance.

Early the next day, Li Lao Si and Liu Biaotou hurried with a mule cart, taking Zhang Shenyi and Jia Yin along on their journey.

Mrs. Cui's village wasn't far, but the donkey cart moved slowly. By the time they arrived, it was already past noon.

Mrs. Cui, Mr. Wen, and Liu Zhiheng all came out to greet them.

Mrs. Cui and Mr. Wen were overjoyed to see Doctor Zhang, feeling much more confident in their hearts.

Liu Zhiheng didn't know Zhang Shenyi's identity. When he heard about it, he became even more curious about Suijin Beach.

Aren't they refugees from the north How could there be a divine doctor among them

Everyone entered the house and paid their respects to Master Liu.

It is said that Jia Ren was Mr. Wen's disciple and the inheritor of Cui University Scholar's mantle. Liu Laozi seriously examined Jia Ren's studies.

Finally, he looked at Jia Ren's left-hand characters, and he was also extremely satisfied.

It is also said that Jia Ren injured his right hand while saving his younger brother, his wound inflicted by a wolf's mouth. Yet, his left hand was practiced with writing brushes dipped in water on stone slabs. He was overjoyed and expressed his delight repeatedly, praising Jia Ren time and again.

He even had his son prepare a box of writing brushes and inkstones to give to Jiarren, as a gift from his master.

Li Laosi brought his family to express gratitude, even Jia Yin followed suit. The chubby girl behaved herself, making everyone laugh non-stop.

At this time, Guo Shanzhang brought his nephew and grandson, bringing generous gifts.

Jia Yin hid behind someone, quietly sizing up Guo Shanchang. The old man, around sixty years old, was a very elegant and upright traditional scholar. Perhaps due to his poor health, there was a hint of frailty in his expression, but his spine was straight.

Little Guo's grandson was about four or five years old, his face pale and he was very thin.

Looking at Guo's nephew, Jiayin frowned. The man was well-built with a smiling face, but she just couldn't shake the feeling that something was off...

Due to a family matter, the update is a bit late. Thanks to all my little treasures for your sincere wait. Here are three chapters, rolling around and begging for more updates and five-star reviews! not considered enough, so she immediately asked Shui Ling to go to Hou's mansion to find the head steward and temporarily assign two maidservants to help.The little maid was very quick-witted and imm...
