She was greedy and did not agree with him. It seemed that Brother Cai’s wife was ambitious and his mother-in-law was a troublemaker!
Ruyi knew that Zhao Cai’s thoughts were the same as his. He wanted to help Master and Madam take care of the matters in the residence and serve them for the rest of his life.
“Did she ask you to find a job for you in the government office, but you didn’t agree?”
Zhao Cai nodded. “She listened to her mother and two sisters-in-law. She mentioned it twice in the past and nagged a few more times after Master was promoted. I thought she was nagging. After the argument that night, I realized that she really wanted me to ask Master for an errand. She didn’t take what I said to her seriously.”
Ruyi looked at Zhao Cai’s depressed expression and felt uncomfortable. “No wonder I didn’t see your wife helping Master-in-law. If she doesn’t come home, what do you plan to do? Brother Cai, we have to understand that the higher Master’s position is, the more people will covet him. It’s easy to dodge an open spear but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. Madam’s body can’t be exhausted now. We have to be more careful.”
Zhao Cai rubbed his face bitterly a few times and felt extremely annoyed. He looked at Ruyi and said, “I understand. I’ll talk to her properly.”
“Don’t be too disappointed. Sister-in-law’s experience since she was young is different from ours. She only interacts with women in the house and doesn’t know how difficult the world is. It’s inevitable that she has unrealistic thoughts. Calm down and talk to Sister-in-law.”
Zhao Cai nodded. “I understand. You’ve had a long day. Go back and rest first.”
Ruyi got up and patted Zhao Cai’s shoulder. “You should sleep early too.”
The next morning, Uncle Lin and his aunt’s family also went to Li Qing’s house. Everyone went to the central room and waited for Li Qing and his wife to serve tea and acknowledge their families.
The smiling Li Qing entered the central room with the shy Fan Mingfang. The maidservant placed a thick cushion in the middle of the central room. Li Qing and Fan Mingfang both knelt down. They bowed to Uncle Lin and Madam Gong, who were sitting at the top. “Greetings, Uncle and Aunt.”
‘”6000, gooa, gooa. (Jet up!” uncle Lin ana Ivyaaam Gong said. Ll Qing ana ran Mingfang stood up. The old woman brought the tray again. Fan Mingfang held the tea and knelt down to bow. “Uncle, please drink tea.”
“Okay.” Uncle Lin looked at the two of them with a gratified expression. He took the tea and took a sip. He took out a red silk bag from his pocket and opened it to reveal a pair of white jade bracelets. He handed them to Fan Mingfang with a smile. “The two of you have a good life. Only then will I have the face to see your in-laws in the future.”
“Thank you, Uncle.” Fan Mingfang kowtowed solemnly again before getting up.
The old woman brought tea again. Fan Mingfang knelt down again and said to
Madam Gong, “Aunt, please drink tea.”
“Good girl.” Madam Gong smiled and took a sip of tea. “Good girl.” She took a brocade box from the old woman. Inside the brocade box was a pair of pure gold bracelets with a picture of a child carved on them. Madam Gong handed it to Fan Mingfang and said with a smile, “It’s good to have more children.” “Thank you, Aunt,” Fan Mingfang said as she blushed.
When the two of them arrived in front of Li Yu and Zhou Jia, Li Qing held Fan Mingfang’s hand and knelt on the ground. “Ah Qing, get up quickly.” Li Yu and Zhou Jia hurriedly stood up. Li Qing and his wife insisted on kowtowing and bowing. “Brother-in-law, Sister, thank you for raising me.”
Li Yu and Zhou Jia hurriedly helped them up. “Why are these two children so polite?”
Uncle Lin and Aunt said, “Ah Yu, you and Jiahe deserve this gift.”
Li Yu gave Fan Mingfang a set of hair accessories, and Zhou Jia gave her a mandarin duck inkstone.
Then, it was the cousins from the Lin family and Yangyang. Fan Mingfang sent over the prepared greeting gift and even made shoes for Mr. Wen.
Seeing that Fan Mingfang was elegant and meticulous, Uncle Lin said happily to Li Yu and her husband, “Everyone says that Ah Qing’s marriage is not bad. Your aunt and I are also very satisfied. The two of you will live well in the future.”
“Yes, Uncle.” Li Qing and Fan Mingfang bowed to Madam Gong. “Aunt, we have troubled you these days.”
Madam Gong smiled and pulled Fan Mingfang. “Aunt is happy to see you two harmonious.”
“Your aunt is right. Ah Yu, Jia, and you have to live well too.” Uncle Lin looked at Li Yu in relief.
The few of them agreed solemnly. Everyone happily ate a meal and bade farewell to Li Qing and his wife before returning home.
When they reached home, Li Yu smiled at Zhou Jia with some emotion and said, “Ah Qing is also under the management of his wife. I feel that I’ve accomplished a big thing.”
“Ah Qing’s marriage is a big deal.” Zhou Jia remarked. “Blessed are those with a wife. ”
Yangyang glanced at the couple. “Father, Mother, why do I have to be controlled by my wife? I think I’m very lucky to be controlled by Father and Mother! ”
That’s right! Children with parents are the most blessed. Li Yu smiled as she thought about it. “Yes, my Yangyang is a blessed child…”
“Aiyo!” Before she could finish speaking, Li Yu was punched in the stomach by the baby. This was followed by a kick. “Naughty little thing.”
Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu worriedly. “Did the child kick you again?”
Yangyang said like an adult, “Little brother is not obedient. You have to be more strict in the future.”
Zhou Jia smiled at his son. Li Yu smiled and praised him. “Yes! Yang’er is the most obedient and dotes on Mother the most.”
Ruyi stood there with Seven Pounds and smiled at the family of three. Seven Pounds ran over happily and held Yangyang’s hand. “Young Master, Old Master has agreed to teach me medicine.”
“Really? That’s great.” Yangyang looked at him with sparkling eyes and held his hand hamilv. “Let’s 20 tell Brother Loach and the others.”
Zhou Jia looked at Ruyi and smiled. “Have you decided?”
Ruyi bowed and said, “Yes, Master. The child likes it and Old Master is willing to teach him. It’s a blessing he accumulated in his previous life.”
Zhou Jia nodded. “He was taught to recognize medicinal herbs. He remembered it after saying it once. Seven Pounds is a pure and thoughtful child. Sir is also willing to teach him medical skills.”
“Jiahe, then Seven Pounds will be your junior brother in the future!” Li Yu looked at him and smiled.
Zhou Jia smiled and spread out his hands. “I don’t think it’s a problem. We’ll go our separate ways.”
Ruyi smiled and said, “Old Master said that there’s no need to be ranked like before.”
Zhou Jia nodded. “Alright, go back and tell your wife. I’ll go see Old Master.”
Ruyi left. Li Yu thought for a moment and said to Zhou Jia, “Xiao Xi, what do you think about opening a medical center for Sir? Sir’s energy is limited. We can hire two physicians to help Sir. On the 15th of every month, we will treat those old and poor people for free.”
Zhou Jia thought for a moment and nodded. “To treat the old and poor for free. Now that we have the ability, we should do it. Go and rest for a while. I’ll talk to
Sir and see what he thinks.”
“Alright, if Sir agrees, we’ll think of a specific operation.”
Zhou Jia nodded and sent Li Yu back to her room before going to Mr. Wen’s pharmacy. He saw that he was still writing.
“Sir, rest for a while. I’ll help you tidy up.”
“You don’t know what I need to do.” Mr. Wen looked up at Zhou Jia. “During the writing process, I have to rearrange the insights recorded during the treatment before recording them..”
