Chapter 566: The Best Sister-in-Law in the World!

t of the chaos outside and sighed as well. 。"Outside, it was utter chaos. Half a month ago, the barbarians attacked Kyoto and marched southward all the way..." Let me know if you have any other text y...Li Lao'er gritted his teeth in anger, "It really is the same rice that feeds a hundred different kinds of people. Those seriously ill old folks know how to struggle and get up to sweep the courtyard and build a fire. These people are good for nothing, just wandering around all day, coming back hungry to eat and sleep. Do they really think this place is their own!"

"Have the heart of a bodhisattva, but use thunderous methods." The Marquis replied calmly. "When it's time to show mercy, you must show mercy, but when it's time to show force, you must also intimidate them all at once. If something happens, don't be afraid, I'm back, even if the sky falls, no one can touch the Li family."

This statement is truly domineering. Although Li Lao Er doesn't have the intention of killing everyone, he can't help but feel his blood boiling with excitement.

It's great to have someone to rely on!

And Jia Yin, already holding a piece of dessert, looked at her godfather with eyes full of admiration!

Noble and handsome, radiating an aura of power. This is the quintessential protagonist's setup!

Such a good man is reluctant to get married, and I don't know how many women in Xindu are angrily tearing their handkerchiefs behind his back...

The lord was made uncomfortable by the little girl's stare, so he helplessly raised his hand and tapped her.

Then, he told Li Lao'er, "We won a great victory this time. The Emperor is very pleased and has named our troops the Bei-zheng Army. All supplies, including food, clothing, and equipment, will be prioritized by the Ministry of War."

In a few days, I'll find a way to bring some small jobs, like selling shoes, over here. You can lead the people and do them well. Perhaps one day, we can have all these jobs come together.

"But for now, it's not possible. The military needs sector involves too many interests and could get you and your family into trouble."

"Good, good!" Li Lao'er was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

He didn't look down on this little "side hustle" at all!

You know, tens of thousands of shoes! Even if they were divided into a few thousand pairs, it would be enough for the Social Welfare Department's elderly and children to keep busy for a month!

This is a great start. Once the news gets out, the relief agency may receive more requests for work.

After all, for the same amount of money, or even cheaper, you can get the work done and do good deeds. Who wouldn't want to try it!

After sitting for a while, the Lord brought Jiayin back to Suijintan.

Li La Er stood at the door until the carriage drove away before turning his head back to the yard.

An old man with one blind eye came out of the kitchen and smiled at Li Laoer, saying, "Li sir, the porridge is ready. When shall I ring the bell"

The Relief Agency's courtyard was too large, with too many houses. Every mealtime, they had to ring a bell so that everyone in the various areas would hear the commotion and come to queue up.

If someone is sick and unable to move, they should be taken back by someone in the same room.

Because of limited funds, over seven hundred people were relying on food aid.

So, recently the Relief Agency has been providing two meals a day. Breakfast is served around midday, and dinner is served in the late afternoon.

Li Lao'er ordered, "Since the porridge is cooked, let's ring the bell."

The old man hesitated for a moment, then pointed discreetly at the loafers by the wall and asked, "Sir, do they... also get porridge Yesterday they complained that the porridge was too thin and insisted on having an extra bowl."

And even the porridge sent to the patients was robbed by them. It's really outrageous. Not only that, they occupied a room and wouldn't let others live there, but they also demanded that others heat up their kang beds for them. If this continues, I fear that the relief bureau will be run by them soon.

The old man didn't know if he was angry or afraid that Li Laoer wouldn't care, his words were harsh and unpleasant.

Li Lao'er smiled and said calmly, "Go to work. I have everything under control."

The blind old man chuckled, quickly responding and entered the kitchen...

Not to mention what the Relief Bureau is doing, but just say that Lord Hou and Jia Yin bought a lot of snacks on their way back to Suijin Beach.

Just as the mischievous boys were leaving school, they saw the Lord come down from his carriage. They swarmed forward to greet him, each smiling bashfully and innocently, completely devoid of their usual impish demeanor.

The Marquis found their thoughts amusing. He gave them some snacks and instructed, “If you want to ride horses, have my personal guards take you for a few laps. But don't secretly ride yourselves, or you might break your legs! You understand”

"Understood, thank you, Lord Xie!" The boys were ecstatic and shouted in unison.

They ran home like they were crazy, grabbing snacks and throwing their backpacks down. Then they rushed to cut the freshest grass and delivered it to the Ye family's courtyard as a bribe for those warhorses.

When the horses are full and happy, they won't resist being ridden or even helped with brushing.

Jia Yin wouldn't have this hobby if she had just run home to hug her grandmother's legs.

Old Li was mending clothes with Wenjuan. Wenjuan, perhaps still weak from just giving birth, seemed to have little energy left.

Jia Yin quickly broke a piece of the osmanthus candy she had just bought and sent it to her sister-in-law's mouth. She then coaxed her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, my second brother is coming back to stay tonight. He just said he was going to buy pickled plums for you in the south of the city!"

As expected, Wenjuan's eyes immediately lit up as she playfully scolded, "He's so busy and tired, yet he still remembers to ask about me!"

Jia Yin widened her eyes and exclaimed, “Why can’t you remember Your sister-in-law is carrying my second brother’s child. She’s going through so much hardship, of course my second brother should be good to her.”

Wenjuan's face flushed even redder. She hugged her younger sister and helped tidy up her slightly messy hair. Finally, she said to Li Laotai: "Grandma, you know, the happiest thing since I married into our family is having Funiu as my younger sister."

My sister-in-law's younger sisters are always trying to get things from their elder sister and money, and they run to their grandmother to complain about everything. But our Fu Niao not only doesn't do that, she even helps me with new clothes, jewelry, and even started a small business to make money!

"Ever since I became pregnant, she's treated me like a precious jewel, Grandma. I dream about it and wake up smiling. If someone else heard this, they'd be green with envy."

Mrs. Li was overjoyed to hear her granddaughter praised. She couldn't help but chime in, "This girl is truly a sensible child by nature. When she was born, our whole family was fleeing famine on the road. It was such a hardship..."

The child hasn't cried once. She just gets really hungry at night. She doesn't cry, she just feels sorry for her mother working hard all day and wants her mother and everyone in the family to sleep a little longer.

"You tell me, whose child is this How can the whole family not feel sorry for her!"

Jia Yin blushed as she listened, quickly rushing over to hug her grandmother's neck and act cute, "It's all because grandma taught me well, Fu Niu'er learned it all from grandma."

"Oh my, you big fat thing, making grandma happy is the best!"

Li Laotai beamed and, turning her head, saw the Marquis enter. Remembering the half-cart of cloth delivered from the city earlier, she quickly said: "Marquis, why did you send so many things to our family again We can just go shopping if we need something at home, it's not good to always put you at a disadvantage…"

"Auntie, we're all family, there's no need to talk about taking advantage of each other." The lord sat beside the old lady and smiled: "You know, there are no women in my mansion. Those fabrics are just sitting there, wasting away and worrying about being eaten by insects or going moldy. It's better to use them all up."

Li Laotai was helpless and could only reply, "Well, alright. After some time, Hongying will be bringing the village women to bake mooncakes. At that time, have them bake some extra to send over. Don't buy any extra from Houfu, understand"

"Alright, mother. This doesn't need to be told to anyone else, just tell Fu Niu er. Today I've handed over the management of the Hou Mansion to her, and from now on, let her go into the city every few days to check on it."

The Marquis's words were casual, he didn't feel at all that entrusting such a large Marquisate to a child was anything out of the ordinary...make way for your enthronement ceremony as Crown Prince.""Just do as you please, here...keep this hidden for now. Wait until after the selection of a consort, then announce his passing."The crown prin...
