Chapter 392: Free-range Boys, Pampered Girls!

roken.Then, she received the silver ingots and diligently shoved the pills into Young Master Ye's mouth.Of course Young Master Ye can't eat it!This thing's origins are unknown, not to mention this lit..."Mother, this is a good thing!" Zhao Yuru supported her mother-in-law's arm and smiled. "This shows that our family is doing well, prosperous and lively, which allows us to keep adding property."

Li Laosan said in a simple and honest manner: "Yes, no matter where we live, we will be filial to you and take care of the family."

Li Laotai waved her hand and patted her daughter-in-law, instructing: "Mother is not worried that you are unfilial, but life is too good, always can't help but feel empty in my heart, I'm afraid that you will get complacent for a while, wag your tails, and fail to contain this good fortune..."

"When I'm not around, you must all be steadfast! The food for the students should be affordable and conscience-worthy. If you encounter someone in need, lend a helping hand where you can."

"Mother, please rest assured, we all know. When there are students from poor families who come to eat at our place, we give them more meat and an extra spoonful of rice so that the children can eat their fill."

"Putting ourselves in your shoes, our child is also studying. This shows that our family life is good, and we can take care of them around us. Otherwise, we wouldn't even know how to worry about them at home... So, if we can help, we certainly won't be stingy."

Zhao Yuru, having run her shop for a while, had become more assertive and confident. She spoke with ease and reason.

Lao Li was delighted, nodding repeatedly. "That's good, then she won't worry about you anymore. When you have free time, come home often. It's just me and Hongying here, it always feels so empty."

"Alright, I'll listen to mother." Zhao Yuru replied.

After everyone had spoken, they settled down for the night.

Home An, Home Xi and Mao Ge were restless, Dog Sheng also wanted to take his parents for a walk in the town, so they went out again.

Jia Yin got up early and hurried on her way. Now she was tired, so she fell asleep in the main hall.

Li Laotai made an outer garment for her granddaughter, then rolled up her sleeves and tidied the guest room with her daughter-in-law. They washed and wiped everything, even though they were busy and tired, she was happy.

When children grow up, they're like birds leaving the nest, gradually building their own little homes...

The next morning, Mr. Peng had no classes and waited at home eagerly for Old Lady Li to pay a visit.

But the Li family didn't enter the academy until the sun was high in the sky. It turned out that Li Lao Er had also come to see his nephews off.

Although the old woman is now a誥命夫人, sending a few children to school wouldn't be considered disrespectful. However, it would still be better if her uncle intervened personally.

As expected, Mr. Peng was delighted to see him and personally welcomed them to his study for a conversation.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Old Li took Jia Yin to the backyard.

Little maid Xiaoyue guarded the secondary gate. As soon as she saw the old lady coming, she went inside to report.

Wenjuan quickly took it out and helped Li Laotai walk inside.

After they sat down to drink tea and have some refreshments, Li Laotai took a close look at Wenjuan and noticed that the circles under her eyes were dark and she looked like she hadn't slept well.

She guessed that it must be the concubine making trouble again, so she asked a few questions. Unexpectedly, Wenjuan burst into tears.

So it turns out she also heard about the scandal at the academy, knowing that the student and the peasant girl had an affair. The student was expelled, the peasant girl's family couldn't get any benefits, and they lost face, so they sent her to live with distant relatives.

But everyone is saying that the farm woman was secretly sold by her family to the south to be a concubine.

She couldn't sleep out of fear these past two nights...

She was so close to being universally condemned, facing a terrible end.

"Sitting beside Old Madam Li and weeping, Wenjuan felt incredibly grateful in her heart. 'Old Madam, thank you for not minding my lack of manners and for agreeing to take me in. In the future, I will definitely be filial to you, I promise..."

Old Li patted her on the back quickly, comforting this poor girl, "You haven't had your mother to guide you since you were young, so it's normal for you to act a bit extreme. Besides, even if there was a mistake, our Huan'er can't escape it anyway. The past is in the past, don't dwell on it too much."

"When you move in, talk to your mother-in-law about anything. She's a kind and reliable person, easy to get along with. Gradually, as you both grow older, you and Huan Ge'er will be able to support the family."

wenjuan nodded vigorously, wiping away her tears, and her eyes regained their light.

She took over the sewing basket and brought out a pair of shoes for the old woman, an embroidered cloth purse for Jia Yin.

Needless to say, the shoes were for respecting the old lady, but the cloth pouch was slung around Jiayin's neck, used to hold her injured hand.

Jia Yin's injury is almost healed. The scabs are falling off one by one. Besides being itchy, she doesn't feel much. Today, she even stopped taking the medicine.

The padded bag arrived a little late and wasn't very useful, but Jiayin still smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, second sister-in-law!"

Wenjuan blushed, and Li Lao immediately tapped her granddaughter's forehead, shielding the future daughter-in-law. "Don't bully your second sister-in-law, or be careful your second brother won't cook delicious food for you!"

Jiayin stuck out her tongue mischievously, causing everyone to laugh.

After some casual chat, Li Lao'er and Mr. Peng had already sent the three boys to school.

Then, Old Lady Li bid farewell to Wenjuan and met her son ahead. They left the academy.

Li Laotai missed her grandsons and whispered, "Second son, have you seen the husbands of your children They seem strict, don't they How many people are in each dormitory I wonder if the children will be able to get used to living there"

Li Lao'er nonchalantly replied, "Mother, just rest assured, they are all boys. A little hardship and suffering is nothing. You can't make a man without beating him."

Besides, there's Jia Ren and Li Ge here. If they need anything, those brothers can figure it out themselves.

Lao Li was furious and reached out to pinch her son's arm, "Is this how you treat your elders You just shove the child into the academy and then ignore him"

Li La'er didn't say much, letting his mother vent her frustration. Then he picked up his little niece and chuckled, "Mother, don't worry about it. Compared to our time, the children at home are already very well-off. If we arrange everything for them perfectly and raise a few more pushovers, what should we do Let them go ahead and venture out!

"

"Besides, our family spoils children anyway, we should spoil our little Fu Niuer too! Our Fu Niuer is so well-behaved and smart, much better than those stinky boys, isn't she"

Jiayin was praised until her eyes lit up with joy and she nodded vigorously.

Li Laotai found it both amusing and pitiful. She decided not to bother with it any further.

A mother's excessive love often spoils her children, and a doting grandmother spoils them even worse, raising no good kids!

As the son said, it's better to raise his granddaughter well than to worry about this.

As for the grandchildren, just let them raise themselves from now on.

The eldest son is definitely courageous, the second is shrewd and smooth, the third is honest and down-to-earth, and the youngest is brave and fierce.

There are also the more intelligent and refined Mr. Wen and the upright and noble Marquis who frequently visit our home. The young boys are immersed in their presence, learning from them both and picking up good habits...

By noon, Jiarren brought a group of his younger brothers back to eat.

Old Mrs. Li was surrounded by the boys, chattering away about the latest happenings at the academy. It was giving her a headache.

She was no longer worried and hurried home with her son and granddaughter in the afternoon.

Jia Yin remembered Mr. Tang needed orchids as a gift, so she insisted on buying them. Li Lao Er doted on his niece, so he said they would buy some on the way.

Haya and Dongmei sat on the carriage, inquiring along the way, and they actually found a flower garden outside the city...ion for a few days."Jia Yin took the silver, her eyes shining with laughter. "That's great! Grandma is too busy taking care of Master and my younger siblings. I'll go live with my stepfather, so Grand...
