“He’s gone to take on an escort task himself?” Xie Zhinuan asked.

She really didn’t know that.

Anyway, she hadn’t seen Yuan Liuwang for many days and hadn’t taken it to heart.

“Yes, he said he wanted to earn more money to get married. He’s already got a small courtyard in the town and wants to build another one at home. He said that after he gets married, he’ll have me live with them. I refused. It’s better for the young couple to live on their own. When they have children and my daughter-in-law needs me to help take care of them, I can go over then. That’s not too late, is it?”

Xie Zhinuan was stunned again.

She nodded quickly.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship has always been difficult to handle, she had seen plenty of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law battles in her past life, constantly portrayed on television, and she too was afraid in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Liuwang’s mother had such awareness.

“Don’t laugh at me, but my mother-in-law was very fierce in the early years, specifically picking on us daughters-in-law. However, after she took a fall and broke her leg, not one of us daughters-in-law took care of her. By the time she recovered, she had bedsores on her bottom. From then on, I knew I had to be kind to my daughters-in-law, so that they would treat me well when I’m old!”

Xie Zhinuan nodded.

If she still didn’t understand why Liuwang’s mother was telling her this, she would truly be too foolish.

She quickly made an excuse about having something else to do and ran off.

Liuwang’s mother watched her go and smiled.

Thinking she would take some money later to Xie Zhinuan’s house to buy some tofu and drop by for a visit.

Seeing Xie Zhinuan come by, Grandma Ni was in a great mood.

“Zhinuan’s here!”

“Grandma!” Xie Zhinuan called gently, handing over the basket, “Grandma, I made tofu and brought you a couple of pieces. Have it stir-fried with Grandpa for lunch!”

Grandma Ni took them with a smile.

She really missed Xie Zhinuan’s time here, where she didn’t have to think about the meals at all, as Xie Zhinuan would take care of everything. She washed their clothes thoroughly and took good care of the chickens; Xie Zhinuan could do everything, wasn’t delicate, and was gentle.

If it weren’t for what happened later, Xie Zhinuan wouldn’t have moved out so soon.

She sighed softly.

Then consoled herself that it was also good this way, Xie Zhinuan still thought of them, and that was good enough.

After talking for a while, Grandma Ni wanted to give Xie Zhinuan some cucumbers and young squash, but Xie Zhinuan declined.

“The young master across the way sends over vegetables every day. He can’t eat much by himself, and the leftovers are enough for us!”

That was the truth.

The noble young master across the way was incredibly generous, sending over vegetables, rice, pork, chicken, and duck meat. No matter how Xie Zhinuan prepared them, he never complained. If Xie Zhinuan cooked porridge, he ate porridge; if she cooked meat, he ate meat. Yuanbao was always smiling and generous when he delivered goods.

Even rare delicacies like lychees, he had sent some over.

“Wouldn’t he mind that?” Grandma Ni couldn’t help asking.

“He wouldn’t, Grandma. The young master is not a stingy person!”

“Have you seen him in person?” asked Grandma Ni.

“Not yet!”

Xie Zhinuan shook her head.

After chatting with Grandma Ni for a bit and thinking about going back to cook, she took her leave.

Grandma Ni didn’t keep her any longer and saw Xie Zhinuan out to the gate.

Watching her leave, she sighed again, “Such a good girl, it’s a pity…”

She was not destined for the Yuan Family.

At one point, she had thought of suggesting her to her grandson, Yuan Wang, but after what had happened, it was forever impossible.

Xie Zhinuan returned home to find several village women standing at her door.

“Do you need something?”

“Oh, Zhinuan is back, we heard you made tofu and came to buy some!”

They had earned quite a bit of money from Xie Zhinuan before and thought to buy some tofu to keep her happy, in case she decided not to buy the wild fruit their children picked in the future.

“…” Xie Zhinuan was surprised, “I might sell my tofu a bit expensively though!”
