"Really?" Liu exclaimed in surprise and joy. "So, soon our Er Zhuzi will be able to read and write too?"
This is a mother's genuine love for her son, with all her emotions coming from the heart.
"Aunt, it's true. I plan to have Qingyan learn to read with Zhang Xiu Brother. Once he learns, he can teach Er Zhuzi and the others, and they can also review what they've learned."
"Great, great! Qingxi, Aunt has to thank you properly! Otherwise, we would never have the ability to let our children study. Your uncle will be so happy when he finds out!"
Liu Qingxi felt Liu's hand warmly grasp hers, and she could even sense the slight tremor of the woman in front of her.
"Aunt, you don't need to be so polite. It's thanks to you that Yan and I have come this far; there's no need to be so formal!" Liu Qingxi smiled brightly.
Liu wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes, laughing through her tears. "Yes, being formal like this isn't necessary. If there's anything in the future, just let us know; we will definitely help!"
This was the first time Liu felt reluctant to part with Liu Qingxi. Previously, every time Liu Qingxi came over, it was always to ask for favors; there weren't many who were selfless.
But this time, it truly felt like family.
After Liu Qingxi's figure turned a corner and disappeared, Zhang Wuliang returned with water, looking at his wife whose smile made her look ten years younger.
With many questions in his mind, before he could ask anything, Liu eagerly pulled him inside. "Hey, you don't need to pour the water right now; just put it down!"
"What’s the rush? I still need to go fetch water a couple more times!"
Farmers have this habit of gathering enough water in the morning before doing other chores.
"When can we not fetch water? I'm telling you, this is big news!" Liu recounted everything that had just happened to Zhang Wuliang.
Well then, the man's reaction was not much lighter than Liu's earlier excitement. "What? Is this true? Our family can read now?"
"Of course, would I lie to you? Qingxi just left, why don't you go ask him?"
"I'm not asking anymore. How could I not trust you? It just feels too sudden!" Zhang Wuliang lowered his head in thought for a moment.
When he raised his head again, he had regained his original wisdom and shrewdness: "Damn it, from now on, let's follow Qingxi more closely!"
Liu smiled brightly: "Of course I know that. Don't worry, as the head of the family, when you help them in the future, I won't say anything!"
Thinking back to the times he had been stern because of Liu Qingxi's matters, he felt guilty.
After this incident, the relationship between Zhang Wuliang and Liu Qingxi became increasingly close, marking a qualitative leap in their feelings; but that's a story for another time.
The quiet and peaceful village began to bustle with activity. The trees on the mountain gradually withered; what was once a lush green mountain now appeared yellow and orange all around—a noticeable change.
In the cave at the foot of the mountain, the Liu Family welcomed a day full of chaos.
Thanks to the money Liu Qingzhi brought in after her marriage, both the First Branch and Second House of the Liu Family had long since stopped their busy pace.
With more people in the house, it naturally became lively, but also filled with conflicts.
Early in the morning, Wang was cursing loudly about this person not doing their job well, that person being lazy, and someone else just living off others. At this time, the Fourth House and Fifth Branch remained silent.
But Jiang Clan was different! She was not one to suffer in silence. When it didn't concern her, she kept quiet; but when Wang cursed her eldest son Liu Qingye for being greedy and lazy, she stood at the cave entrance with her hands on her hips: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that? How is Qingye lazy? I think he's doing much better than your eldest Qing Shu. The elder brother doesn't even act like one; why should we do all the work?"
"What do you mean by that? I'm just saying a couple of words about Qingye; is there something wrong with that? Look at this household—who isn't spending my money? If it weren't for Zhi'er, would you be able to sit at home idly instead of going up the mountain to find food?
Who else would dare come here to visit the children? From now on, you'd better behave; otherwise, everyone will have to work!"
Jiang Clan felt a knot in their chest, straightened their back, and puffed out their cheeks, saying, "Why should I go?"
However, the voice grew weaker, lacking confidence.
Who in the family didn’t know that the betrothal gifts from Wandehai amounted to Twenty Taels, not to mention the clothes and accessories bought for Liu Qingzhi, which added up to several dozen taels of silver.
Compared to the exhausting search for food on the mountain, Jiang Clan would rather endure scolding at home!
Well, none of the Liu Family First Branch Second House were diligent; they were the type who would lie down instead of sitting and sit instead of standing.
If it weren't for nearly starving to death, they wouldn’t have gone up the mountain in the first place.
Wasn't life better now? She had no intention of offending the Wang family.
With a twist of her waist and without a word, she pouted and went inside!
Wang stood at the cave entrance like a victorious rooster, flaunting her authority.
Squinting her eyes toward the distance, she spotted a carriage approaching.
The luxurious golden exterior was made of an unknown material, swaying as it came closer.
Then, Wang smiled like a blooming flower and happily ran toward the carriage.
Indeed, this carriage was very familiar; it was one of the few she had seen before.
When the coachman called out and brought the carriage to a stop in front of her, she exclaimed in surprise, "Zhi'er, you’re back!"
Immediately after, a delicate white hand lifted the curtain, revealing a woman with an elegantly styled golden hairdo. Her smiling face was accentuated by rosy makeup that made her look even more beautiful, though the sharpness in her brows could not be concealed.
"Mother!" The woman's call made Wang laugh even more joyfully.
At the same time, Xiao Diandian from the Jiang Clan, who had just turned her hips to return to the cave, ran out with a fawning smile that was nauseating.
"Oh, my dear niece is back! This time it's different. You've really married into a wealthy family and are living well. Look, look at this dress, this hairpin, this..."
She touched each item with great affection, her envious gaze nearly drooling on the ground, which only pleased Liu Qingzhi more.
"Aunt, you don't know! The cups for drinking water at Wanjia are all made of jade! What I'm wearing is nothing; I have so much more at home that I couldn't bring it all. I rotate them!"
"Oh my, our dear niece is impressive! Master Wan must be captivated by your beauty. You’ll have plenty of good days ahead, but don’t forget about us!"
The Jiang Clan was overjoyed standing beside Liu Qingzhi, secretly pushing Wang aside.
Dead Girl really hit the jackpot; it wouldn't be bad to keep one of those golden hairpins from her head.
The woman felt a surge of desire and gritted her teeth in anger: "Shameless thing! She's my daughter, not yours. Good things will definitely not be left for you!"
The pampering she received like a star surrounded by the moon greatly satisfied Liu Qingzhi's vanity.
However, when she saw her few wooden-headed younger sisters at home, a flash of impatience and disdain crossed her eyes.
