Mr. Wen and Old Master Zhou put away the chess pieces and got out of the carriage. They looked at the mountain full of spring flowers and persimmon trees not far away and said to Old Master Zhou with a smile, “It’s better to come out for a walk!”

Old Master Zhou cleared his throat. “I’m used to living on the farm now. It’s not comfortable for me to go back. I hired two parentless children in the village to help me work and sell flowers. I even taught them how to read when I was free. The two children know how to be grateful. They come early every day and help clean up the courtyard. They even planted some melons and vegetables in the open space.”

Mr. Wen looked at him and teased, “Oh! I didn’t expect you to do these pitying things!”

Old Master Zhou looked at Mr. Wen aggrievedly. “Look at what you’re saying.

Although I was unreasonable in the past, I’ve never bullied anyone!”

Mr. Wen looked at him. “You didn’t bully anyone else, but you bullied Jiahe and his mother.”

When Old Master Zhou heard this, he lowered his head guiltily. A moment later, he looked up and rubbed his face hard. “Yes, the people I feel most guilty about in my life are Jiahe and his mother. I didn’t have the ability to protect them myself, so I pretended not to see those incidents.”

Mr. Wen sighed and said, “It’s not entirely your fault. You can only blame fate for making a fool of you.”

Old Master Zhou turned to look at Mr. Wen, his eyes filled with regret. “Old

Master, all kinds of medicine are sold in the world, but there’s no medicine for regret. If there’s really the Six Paths of Reincarnation, I’d rather fall into the path of animals and redeem the sins I committed.”

Mr. Wen looked at him and persuaded, “Don’t blame yourself too much. You’ve done very well in the years since Jiahe and his wife returned to the capital.”

“Granduncle, Uncle.” Yueyue and Xingxing each brought a bouquet of wildflowers to the two of them. Yueyue handed the flowers to Old Master Zhou. “Uncle, look, the flowers are really beautiful!”

Old Master Zhou squatted down and took the bouquet with a smile. “Aiya! What beautiful flowers! I’ll bring you to pick them.”

Xingxing took Mr. Wen’s hand. “Grandmaster, go pick the flowers.”

“Alright, Grandmaster will accompany Xing’er to pick flowers.”

Li Yu stood on the mountain path and looked at the village at the foot of the mountain. The fields were filled with busy figures.

Auntie He and Auntie Zhang heated up the pancakes and bean juice they had brought and cut a hole with a knife. They picked up some braised food and placed it inside. Everyone sat around the oilcloth and ate.

The two children had never eaten in the wild before. It was a novelty. After eating a pancake and drinking half a bowl of bean juice, they circled everyone and chattered like birds in the forest.

After eating, everyone began to travel again. Soon after getting into the carriage, the two children fell asleep.

The sky became darker and darker. Granny Chen looked at the sky and whispered, “Madam, it looks like it’s going to rain.”

Li Yu nodded. “That’s right! After passing the forest in front of us, there’s a steep slope when we go down the mountain. If only we could wait until we passed the steep slope before landing.”

Not long after they passed the forest, a strong wind blew. Dark clouds enveloped the mountaintop opposite. Tiezhu looked at the sky and was a little worried. He said to Auntie He, who was sitting in the carriage, “Nanny, it looks like it’s going to rain heavily. Ask Madam how far away it is.”

Li Yu lifted the curtain and took a look. “There’s still more than two hours to go down from here. Try your best to rush to the bottom of the slope.”

“Yes.” Tiezhu raised his whip and drove the mule forward. After walking for more than an hour, they had just passed the ramp when bean-sized raindrops fell.

The carriage moved forward through the rain and fog. The mountain road was slippery. Tiezhu pulled the reins tightly and drove the horse to slow down. An hour later, the rain gradually stopped and the sky gradually darkened.

Yueyue leaned against Li Yu and listened to the frogs’ croaks from the field from time to time. She pricked up her ears and listened for a while. “Mother, is that the sound of a little frog?”

“That’s right! It’s just the little frogs croaking. When summer comes, frogs especially like to sing after heavy rain.”

“Mother, it’s spring. Summer is coming soon, isn’t it?” Star asked after a moment’s thought.

Li Yu touched Xingxing’s face. “Yes, are you hungry?” Xingxing shook his head. “I just ate cake. I’m not hungry.”

Yueyue shook his head. “I’m not hungry either, Mother. Are you hungry?”

When the sky turned dark, Tiezhu shouted from outside, “Madam, we’re here.”

The two children cheered. “Mother, we’re here. We’re getting out of the carriage.”

Tiezhu got out of the carriage and knocked on the manor’s door. Someone ran to the door and asked, “Who is it?”

“I’m Tiezhu. Madam is here,” Tiezhu replied loudly.

“Hurry up and tell Steward Yi that Madam is here.”

The door opened and Tiezhu drove the car in. Li Yu got out of the car with the child. When she saw Ruyi and Zhao Cai, she smiled and stood in front of the car with the lantern.

Zhao Cai grinned and said, “The rain was so heavy just now. We thought you

would only come in two days!”

Li Yu smiled and said, “I didn’t expect it to rain so heavily. Fortunately, we were already downhill.”

Old Master Zhou got out of the car and pounded his waist. “Aiya! We’re finally here. My old bones are about to fall apart. ”

Mr. Wen pointed at him and smiled. “You’re not even as good as Yue’er and

Xing’er.”

Zhao Cai looked at the two of them. “Old Master, you’re here too!”

Old Master Zhou deliberately pulled a long face. “Can’t we come?”

Zhao Cai smiled apologetically and said, “Yes, why not? You must be tired! Fortunately, I cleaned up the main courtyard yesterday. Otherwise, no one would be able to stay there.”

Everyone moved their things into the house. Granny Chen, Aunt Zhang, and the others carried the bedding into the main courtyard.

Ruyi got someone to move the rice seeds into the barn. Auntie He brought Madam Wang and Madam Li to cook minced pork noodles for everyone to eat. Ruyi brought Mr. Wen and Old Master Zhou to the bathroom to wash up and rest.

Li Yu asked Granny Chen and Auntie He to bring the twins to wash up and go to the side courtyard at the back. Seeing that it was dark inside, she came out and asked Zhao Cai, “Didn’t Ah Lian and the others stay in the manor?”

Zhao Cai shook his head. “No! They don’t want to live here. They despise the fact that those evil thieves used to live here. After you left, they moved back to the straw huts.”

Li Yu thought for a moment and understood their feelings. “The seeds are about to be planted. Are their fields ready?”

Zhao Cai frowned and hesitated for a moment before saying, “It’s done. The village is a little unstable these days.”

It was unstable. It was difficult for their family to find them! Li Yu looked at Zhao Cai. “What happened? How is it unstable?”

“Among them, a woman called Xiang Xiu and two other women went back to their mothers’ house. They were fine when they went. When they came back yesterday, they told sister-in-law Ah Lian that they were going to sell the fields in the village and return to their mothers’ houses.”

Li Yu had no impression of Xiang Xiu. “What did Ah Lian say about this?”

Zhao Cai thought for a moment. “Ah Lian didn’t agree to them selling the fields. She only agreed to let them take away the 20 taels of silver. She even said that their families originally only had a few acres of thin fields. The extra fields were compensated by the government office to the people who died in their families. Even if they’re no longer around, they don’t have the right to sell those fields..”
