The wicked sister-in-law is in charge; meals include fish and shrimp.

Chapter 255 My sister's family is very poor.

On the way back to rest, Xiao Hu suddenly looked up and asked, "Auntie, when is Sister Xiao Yan coming?"

They haven't seen each other for so long; didn't they say they'd be back soon?

When they come back, they can go to Jitou Mountain together to play, and they can also study together. Wouldn't that be great?

Wen Luozhi hadn't expected him to still remember Helian Zhiyan. Looking at his hopeful expression, she whispered, "Hmm... if it's quick..."

To be honest, she couldn't code it accurately either.

To avoid disappointing the little guy, she said, "Let's wait until Xiaohu finishes learning the Three Character Classic; that should be about right."

Xiao Hu's eyes brightened; today, Master Mo said he learns things very quickly.

Does that mean he'll be able to see his little playmate soon?

He quickened his pace, pulling Wen Luozhi towards home. "Hurry up, Auntie, let's get some sleep!"

"You earn money this afternoon, and I'll study hard so I can earn money for you to spend when I grow up."

Wen Luozhi felt so happy she was practically bubbling over. All these people were clearly trying to earn money for her to spend.

Remembering that Helian Zhiyan had also said that she missed that little girl, she wondered if the journey was smooth.

Have they used all the things she gave them? Is there enough food? Judging by the days, the people who left from here should have already handed over their duties, right?

……

Helian Zhiyan was "earning" money for her, and sitting among a group of people, she looked like a little boss.

"Little brother, look at this. This is my mother's most treasured bracelet."

"Take this back to your sister Luo Zhi. Young girls all like pretty things."

Xia Yunshu presented the bracelet she had stolen from Jiang Wan with both hands.

The reason she was so eager to meet him was because she had seen so many amazing treasures along the way, and she really wanted to get to know Luo Zhi, whom the little guy kept mentioning.

Let's see what kind of fascinating person has piqued her curiosity so much.

Helian Zhiyan accepted it politely, and after just one touch, she knew it was an excellent item. She grinned and stuffed it into her cloth bag.

Jiang Wan, who happened to be there, witnessed this scene and was so heartbroken that she pounded on the tree.

"That brat! That's mine..."

Xia Tingfeng covered her mouth and whispered, "Madam, please calm down!"

Jiang Wan pulled his hand away, feeling that her youngest daughter was a bit dim-witted.

She wasn't upset about the bracelet itself; the problem was that she had worn it before! It was all old!

That girl just gave her face to her savior like that? That's such a perfunctory gesture.

They rushed over as soon as they heard the news, and were terrified when they heard how dangerous the journey had been.

If it weren't for that little guy and those people, my two daughters would probably be in grave danger.

The youngest daughter, who was originally going to leave, insisted on going back with them, shamelessly clinging to her.

Look at this, he's still begging them!

"This brat, she doesn't want to go home herself but wants to go home with her savior! What kind of talk is that!"

"Husband! You need to control her!" Jiang Wan stamped her foot and shouted.

Xia Tingfeng dared not agree. If he did, she would be the first one to be punished.

Over there, Helian Zhiyan shook her head, "Sister Shushu won't do, Sister Luozhi's family is very, very poor."

"Their whole family is crammed into a thatched hut, and there are so many of you..."

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, as if Wen Luozhi were in a terrible situation.

If so many people go, I wonder if the newly built big house and woodshed will be enough to sleep them all?

She looked hesitant, as if she wanted to agree but was hesitant to.

Xia Yunshu hadn't expected the girl's family to be so poor. After thinking for a moment, she took out a large stack of silver notes that hadn't even been warmed up yet and stuffed them into the girl's hand.

Xia Yunsheng also touched his sleeve and handed over the portion that his parents had just given him.

Helian Zhiyan feigned reluctance, quickly glancing at the silver notes in her hand before bursting into a smile through her tears. "This should be enough. I'll buy a big house for Sister Luo Zhi when I get back."

"That way everyone can have a place to stay."

She glanced at the rather extravagant carriage and clicked her tongue in amazement. These people were all wealthy; if she took them back, her sister Luo Zhi could earn money from them, so it wouldn't be a loss at all.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yunshu knew that she had agreed to come along, and turned around to give Xia Tingfeng and his wife a peace sign, just like Helian Zhiyan had done before.

She was immersed in joy, while the shadowy figure watching her thought the young lady of Snowfall Manor was a fool.

How could the general's wife's family be poor? The general gave her the entire Gem Mountain.

Just dig up a few and that's enough...

Besides, we've already covered more than half the distance. Even if we can't tell from other places, we can tell from the food we've eaten, right?

If someone is so poor they can't even afford to eat, where would they get the spare money to prepare so many exotic foods?

Xia Tingfeng and his wife were still confused by Xia Yunshu's gesture, and for a moment she felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

Remembering how Xia Yunsheng had shared snacks with her in the carriage, she took one out, peeled off the wrapper, and put it in her mouth.

She fell in love with the sweet and sour, chewy dried fruit, popping it into her mouth one after another.

When Xia Yunsheng and her sister returned, there was a pile of wrapping paper at her feet.

"Mom, have you finished eating?" Xia Yunshu couldn't help but shudder; the dried fruit was so sour it made her teeth ache.

The little boy took a lot of food when his older sister didn't have an appetite, but stopped eating it after her appetite returned.

Now even my own mother is playing a relay game.

Jiang Wan didn't bother talking to her and took Xia Yunsheng back to the carriage to have lunch together.

With nothing else to do, Xia Yunsheng told her about Gu Yunqi cooking porridge for them, and Jiang Wan felt like the pastries in her hands were burning.

"According to you, this Sixth Young Master Wang is truly an excellent person."

Didn't you see the light in your eldest daughter's eyes when she talked about it? She didn't see her eldest daughter talking this much at the villa.

Xia Yunshu muttered to herself, "It's good, but it would be even better if it weren't so ugly."

Jiang Wan slapped her on the head. "Don't you know that you can't judge a book by its cover, you brat?"

"Look at your dad, he's so ugly, but he's still not bad-looking!"

Xia Tingfeng, who had been called out, immediately came over and fawned over her, massaging her legs. "What you said, Madam, is absolutely right. Otherwise, how could I be here today?"

Jiang Wan was pleased by his coaxing and happily fed him the remaining pastries in her hand.

That's not actually the case. When she was young, Xia Tingfeng was just a poor boy. She only fell for his handsome face and couldn't live without him.

If she hadn't pleaded so desperately, her father probably wouldn't have agreed. And if she hadn't actually managed to make Snowfall Manor much stronger within the agreed timeframe, her father would have definitely snatched her back.

After they got married, the man was indeed impeccable, so much so that even his usually cold-faced father later praised him highly.
