Chapter 42. Homecoming

The next day, after breakfast, Xi Tongfang sent Ayun to the school, and Amu and Qingsong were also following him.

Xi Feng, who was squatting in the yard, looked up at Qingsong's leaving back, his eyes flashed, and turned his head and used two wooden sticks to catch the big green worm on the strawberry leaves.

Liu Ma walked out of the stove and said, "Miss, there are two more women in the family. You can tell them to do this job of catching insects. Your hands are precious and are used to embroider flowers."

Xi Feng neatly picked up a big green worm with a small head emerging from the ground of the leaves and put it into the jar, smiling brightly, "My hands are not precious. They can hold embroidery needles and kitchen knives." He even killed people.

"Besides, catching insects is a light job, without any effort, and can make fun of me, I like it."

She likes to watch the big green worms. She struggles desperately under her wooden sticks, but she can't break free from her scoundrel. She likes this process of controlling her life and death very much.

Like it from the bottom of my heart.

Ruan came out of the room, holding a quilt in her hand, and then scolded him, "You are so old, you are still like a child. When other ladies see insects, they will scream in fear when they see insects. You are so good, you still treat insects as fun."

"That's because they're timid."

"Yes, yes, you are brave. I think if I don't care about you anymore, you will go to heaven."

"Madam, since the lady likes it, let her do it. The strawberry will bloom in a few days. The buds will not be bitten by insects and will bear few fruits. The lady likes to eat strawberries the most." Liu Ma couldn't bear to see the lady being scolded by her wife, so she hurriedly contacted her and helped her to talk.

Ruan Shi deliberately said with a stern face, "You spoil her and spoil her. In the future, I will go to my husband's house to see if she can still catch insects." Not everyone, like their second wife of the Xi family, will grow vegetables and strawberries in the yard.

"Madam, flowers also have bugs." Liu Ma walked over and reached out to take the quilt from Ruan's hand. "Madam, Xiang Qiao, why don't you let Xiang Qiao dry the quilt? Why are you doing it yourself? There are many people in the family now. If you have any problems in the future, your wife can tell Xiang Qiao to do it."

"Xiangqiao and Vancao were washing clothes in the backyard. Now there were too many people. In the future, Vancao could not wash all the clothes at home alone, and Xiangqiao would also help wash them together."

Xi Ming and Xi Yun both had servants to take care of them, so Xiang Qiao transferred them to take care of the Ruan family.

Ruan was born into a village girl and was diligent since she was a child. She was used to doing family work. After marrying into the Xi family, Cheng was always treated as a maid.

She does everything she can do and never is lazy.

After the separation, she became the head wife, but there were few servants in the family. Ruan was a diligent person. She had some work that she could do, so she would not keep it for the maid to do it, and she would do it by herself.

Liu's mother helped Ruan and dried the quilt. She was about to take the vegetable basket to pick the dishes she had eaten for lunch when she heard someone knocking outside.

Ruan Shi, who was about to go back to work as an embroiderer, paused and told Liu Ma, "Go and see who is here."

"Yes, ma'am."

Liu Ma responded and went to open the door. She saw three strangers standing at the door, one dressed like a steward, and the other two servants were dressed. Behind the three, there was a carriage full of things.
