Wei Ruo flipped through the account books and couldn’t help but reveal a joyful smile. She was very satisfied with the profits revealed within.

Wei Ruo said to her nursemaid, “I must thank you for your hard work.”

The nursemaid quickly waved her off: “I’m not working hard at all. Nowadays, don’t get to do much. Most of the work is done by hired hands.”

She doesn’t find any hardship in the tasks that occupy her days now.

They had enough food, wore warm clothes, lived in comfortable houses, and even had coal to heat their homes during the winter. The warmth was incredibly comfortable.

Comparing this to the hungry and cold commoners, she was overflowing with gratitude for her good fortune.

All of this was thanks to Miss. If not for her, they would still be in their old home, battling hunger and cold, and fretting every day about their next meal. “Nanny, take a few days off. Later on, I’ll need you and Uncle Xu to make a trip to the Government City. The land over there needs preparing for wheat sowing. I’m not familiar with the people there, and I’m unsure of their capability to handle it, so I’ll need you and Uncle Xu to oversee it for me.”

“Rest? I’m starting for the Government City with Old Xu tomorrow. We can’t delay sowing wheat. It’s already time. If we don’t plant it in time, what shall we do if it dies? Then, the fields will remain unused for half a year, what a waste!”.”

“No need for that. I have my calculations. Even if we plant a bit later, it will survive,” Wei Ruo had confidence in the seeds from her space.

“But we still have to go in advance. The field for sowing wheat needs to be fertilized first. This will ensure the wheat grows well later. What if the earth in that field is not so good, it takes more time to fertilize?”

With that, the nursemaid encouraged Uncle Xu next to her: “Old Xu, what are you standing around for? Pack your things.”

“Ah, alright, alright!” Xu Zhushan hastily agreed and turned to go back home. Nanny, you guys should rest for a few days, there’s no rush,” Wei Ruo advised. ‘There’s nothing to rest for. We don’t work very hard these days. Why do we need to specifically take a few days off? Compared to our past lives, our current lives already feel like a constant break!”

In the end, Wei Ruo was not able to persuade the nursemaid and Uncle Xu to take a few days off. Early the next day, Xu Zhushan set off for Government City with two helpers.

A few days later, after Wei Ruo was busy, a message arrived from Xie’s family. Mr. Wang had resumed lessons.

A few days ago, due to the disaster, Mr. Wang had approved leave for Wei Ruo and Xie Ying. Now that the disaster is over, they should resume classes.

After class in the evening, Wei Ruo headed straight to the dining hall after returning home.

Today, Wei Mingting did not come, but unexpectedly, Wei Jinyi, who seldom dines with everyone, came.

Wei Ruo was curious and quietly asked Wei Jinyi, “Why are you dining here today, second brother?”

“Mother sent someone to invite me,” Wei Jinyi replied.

Mrs. Yun actually sent someone specifically to invite Wei Jinyi to dine in the dining hall?

Wei Ruo found it strange. Wei Jinyi had set up a small kitchen in his own courtyard and had separate meals with Wei Mingting’s special permission. Mrs. Yun allowed this because she didn’t like Wei Jinyi.

Unusual actions often have ulterior motives, so Mrs. Yun’s move today probably has a special purpose, not just to have a family meal together.

Wei Mingting did not come home for dinner, so when Mrs. Yun arrived at the dining hall, she asked everyone to sit down and let the servants serve the dishes.

During the meal, no one spoke due to the rule of not speaking while eating. But after the meal, when people were sitting around drinking tea, Mrs. Yun spoke, “Jinyi, you have been studying with the Tibetan layman for quite some time now, haven’t you?”

“All in all, three months,” Wei Jinyi replied.

This time, the Tibetan layman let you come home and is even willing for you to stay here for a while longer. Presumably, he must be quite taken with you,” Mrs. Yun said.
