We used to be together whether we were running away from famine or working together, but we haven't seen each other for three months, and we are all very enthusiastic when we meet. Those who call me uncle, aunt, fourth son, and fourth daughter-in-law are very lively in greeting each other.

Everyone entered the house in a lively manner. Erlang, Sanlang, Silang, Erya and Sanya hurriedly brought water, tea and snacks, and then they took Daya, Wulang and Ling Yue to talk affectionately.

The Shangguan looked on with cold eyes and felt that this family was very harmonious, especially the juniors, holding hands and being affectionate, closer than any brothers and sisters in the city.

Shangguan Ruoli was surrounded by his three sisters-in-law, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Sun, who were chatting with each other. When he saw that Mrs. Li's face was a little pale, he asked, "Sister-in-law, is she seriously unhappy?"

Li's face turned red and she said, "I'm vomiting badly. Please check my pulse quickly."

Mrs. Sun said sourly: "You are going to marry your daughter-in-law, are you happy? We have prepared the wedding. You didn't put in much effort, so you don't have to worry!"

Li's face turned even redder and she ignored Sun. She just said to Shangguan Ruoli: "I'm already a mother-in-law here, so I'm pregnant again. It's so shameless."

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "My uncles and aunts have many things to do when they are younger than my nephews and nieces. What do you think this is?"

However, Ms. Li is thirty-seven or eight years old, so she is considered an older mother and must be treated carefully. But she cannot say this, so as not to scare Ms. Li. She will go to the kitchen soon and put the water in the tank first.

The water was replaced with spiritual spring water.

He checked Mrs. Li's pulse and said: "It's nothing serious. It's just physical weakness caused by morning sickness and some overthinking. Don't think too much and relax. Tomorrow, I will make you some ginseng Yangrong pills. Take them every day

Take one pill daily.”

When Mrs. Sun heard this, her face darkened, "Ginseng? Take one pill every day? How much money will it cost? I'm not in good health, so I still have to eat it!"

Mrs. Liu glanced at her contemptuously and said: "You also envy taking medicine? Don't you know that medicine is three-thirds poisonous? Silang also learned medical skills from his fourth younger brother and sister. Ask him, can you take medicine at will?"

Mrs. Sun snorted coldly, "I gave birth to Liulang prematurely and was very ill. He should take good care of himself! There is no separation of families. All the money belongs to the public, so why should we favor one over the other!"

The family's property is getting bigger and bigger. In the future, 70% of the family property will be divided between the parents' house. The old lady is so happy for the youngest son that she will privately provide the fourth bedroom.

A lot of silver?

Her two sons are young, and she and her husband are not treated well by others, so only their third wife suffers the most!

Shangguan Ruoli didn't want to talk to Mrs. Sun at all, said a few words to Mrs. Li and Mrs. Liu, and then went back to his house. It had been unoccupied for such a long time, so he had to tidy up.

The room is quite warm, and it must have been dried. If you touch the kang, it is warm, and it has been burned. The bedding on the kang is very soft and dry, and has been dried.

They came back without sending a letter to their family in advance. It can be seen that Mrs. Qian estimated that the day was almost over and asked people to bake the house and prepare it. In this way, it is probably not the first time that the old couple picked them up at the entrance of the village today.

Thinking of this, my heart felt warm.

Mrs. Qian walked in with clean sheets and quilts in her arms, "Wu Lang, my mother, I cleaned it for you a few days ago."

Shangguan Ruoli took the sheets and quilt and said with a smile: "Thank you, mother, for your hard work."

"It's not hard! I feel so happy." Mrs. Qian took out the sheets, shook them out, and spread them on the kang. "Our life today is much better than before, so why is this hard work?"

Shangguan Ruoli moved the bedding away from the kang, took off his shoes and got on the kang, and helped spread the sheets.

Mrs. Qian helped stretch one side and asked: "Where is the right place for that old doctor to live?"

Shangguan Ruoli had already thought about it and said, "Let's go to the hospital. He comes from the capital and is very particular. Our house doesn't have a front or back yard, so if men and women live in a big yard, he will definitely feel uncomfortable."

Mrs. Qian smiled and said: "How can he, an old man whose hair is mostly white, pay attention to the security of men and women? However, it is true that we cannot allow outsiders to live in our home."

Shangguan Ruoli smoothed the sheets with his hands and said, "All wealthy families are like this. When our family becomes prosperous in the future, we must also set up these rules, otherwise the nobles and aristocratic families will not even bother to associate with us."

Mrs. Qian said disapprovingly: "Isn't it just a matter of separate courtyards for men and women? It's easy! As long as there is money, it doesn't matter if each person has his own courtyard!"

Shangguan Ruoli: "..."

This is a rough statement. As long as it can develop, the rest will not matter.

Everyone had a reunion dinner at noon and started preparing betrothal gifts in the afternoon.

Because the bridegroom had to go to deliver the betrothal gift, and the eldest brother was away these days, it had been delayed, but now it was all done in one go.

The next day, Dalang wore a maroon robe with narrow sleeves, a jade crown on his head, and rode a tall horse to deliver the betrothal gift. The men carrying the betrothal gift were all young men of the same color, and they were all wearing brand-new blue cloth shorts and tied with red silk around their waists, and they were in good spirits.

, which makes people’s eyes light up.

Old Man Dong also invited drummers, and in a state of joy, he walked vigorously towards Liulin County.

The bright red box was tied with red silk. There were twenty-eight lifts in total. The boxes bent the poles, showing that they were solid items.

Inspector Wu did not go to the office today, and Wu Wenhui's two younger brothers, Wu Wenyuan and Wu Wenqing, did not go to school either. They both changed into new clothes and were waiting at home.

Wu Wenyuan and Wu Wenqing were worried that the elder man would not come back, so they ran to the street to wait. Although there are cases where the groom does not show up to deliver the betrothal gift, the groom's failure to come to deliver the betrothal gift means he does not pay attention to the woman.

"Here we come!" Wu Wenyuan heard the sound of joy and called out.

The two brothers immediately straightened their backs, stretched their necks and looked up.

Wu Wenqing saw Da Lang riding a tall horse walking in front, his eyes lit up, and he turned around and ran home. "Here it comes! Here it comes! The procession of delivering the betrothal gift is here! My brother-in-law is here too!"

Wu Wenhui's face turned red, her eyes filled with joy and shyness, "What brother-in-law! It's still too early to call me!"

Mrs. Wu smiled and said: "My in-laws value your daughter-in-law!"

"Milk!" Wu Wenhui stamped her foot and ran into her room.

Mrs. Wu, Wu Wenyuan, and Wu Wenqing all laughed.

Inspector Wu couldn't smile, and had a forced, stiff smile on his lips. His daughter was getting married!

Wu Wenhui was his first child, with different meanings and feelings. As the eldest daughter, after her mother died, she took on the responsibility of taking care of her elders and younger brothers. She was sensible and capable, but she also suffered a lot of grievances.

Before he could feel sad for long, the team delivering the betrothal gifts had already arrived at the door of his house, and he quickly took his family out to greet them.

Dalang turned over and dismounted, crossed his hands and saluted, "Da Lang has met his father-in-law."

Inspector Wu thought to himself: My daughter hasn’t married you yet, so it’s too early to call her father-in-law!

But on the surface he still smiled and said: "Okay, okay! Come in quickly!"

"Father-in-law, please!" Dalang walked into the yard and looked towards Wu Wenhui's room for the first time.
Chapter completed!
