Misunderstanding Resolved Wu Erniu wiped the corner of her eye and held Ruan Xiulian's hand, saying, "Let's not talk about this. How have you been these past two years, Big Sister?" Ruan Xiulian had a smile on her face, "Good, pretty good. How's the family?" "Big Sister always reports the good news and hides the bad. Do you think I, as your sister-in-law, don't know?" Wu Erniu sighed, "Back then, our parents said they wouldn't let you back in, but those were just words of anger. As soon as you left, they…-

Teaching Jinning to Read The Ruan family's small courtyard was filled with laughter. Ruan Youjin's three-year-old son, Ruan Wenping, was the little darling of the family. Despite his young age, he had a sweet tongue, constantly calling out "grandma" and "uncle," leaving Ruan Xiulian and Song Tingzhu beaming with pride. Liu Hu wasn't as lucky. He was a tall, imposing man, and when he didn't smile, he looked a bit intimidating. However, little Ru Yi, after getting familiar, would let her second cousin uncle…

Digging Herbs to Earn Money "You all know about it, Xia Ge'er and Huzi want to find some work to do. What do you two from the eldest family think?" Ruan Xiulian asked, holding Xia Ge'er. Liu Meng said, "I don't have any objections, but the family is tight on money. I'm afraid we can't come up with enough silver to start a business." Song Tingzhu said, "It's not possible right now, maybe after we save up some money, we can start something." "Alright, you and Huzi go ahead and do it. The family has…

Selling Herbs Song Tingzhu noticed the bruise on Liu Xiaomei's face and frowned with concern, "Did someone bully you outside?" Liu Xiaomei picked up a tea bowl and drank half of it, then wiped her mouth, "No, Qian Shuang'er got hurt worse than me." Hearing this, Song Tingzhu was momentarily stunned. Qian Shuang'er was Xiaomei's good friend, but ever since the Qian family came to their home to collect debts, the two had stopped seeing each other. These past few days, when Xiaomei went to the mountain to dig…

A Ray of Hope "What happened? Ever since you came back from Aunt Cai's house, you seem a bit uneasy," Song Tingzhu asked with concern while helping Xiaomei design a new pattern. Liu Xiaomei propped her chin and sighed, "I ran into two aunties on the road, and they said Qian Shuang'er is getting married in a few days." Song Tingzhu paused his brush, "Isn't she only a year older than you? Why the rush?" "They said it's to gather money for her brother's schooling," the little girl sighed again. "Actually,…

Strolling Through Lianxi Town After some investigation, Song Tingzhu got a good grasp of the prices in Lianxi Town. White rice and fine flour range from thirty to seventy wen, while coarse rice and rough flour cost only five to eight wen per jin. A jin of pork costs thirty-five wen, which is about as much as Liu Hu earns in a day's work. Clothing is even more expensive. Most warm fabrics start at one tael of silver and go up from there. Ordinary folks can only afford linen, stuffing it with reeds and straw…

Ghostwriting Letters "Our family used to be really close with the Zhao family. Their son, Zhao Qian, studied at the academy with my son, Yuanshan. That Zhao kid loved to mess around with cats and dogs, but he wasn't a bad kid, at least not in front of us. Who would have thought he'd get so close with a girl from a town family and shamelessly lead her into the woods!" "The worst part is, when people started to notice, that little brat shifted the blame onto Yuanshan. Poor my son, he got hit on the head and…

The Ceremony Teacher March 28th, a good day for marriage. On this day, Song Tingzhu put on a long robe of a color he hadn't worn for a long time. As soon as he stepped out of the house, Liu Xiaomei came up to him, showering him with compliments. "Sao Fu Lang, this outfit looks really nice. Why have I never seen you wear it before?" Song Tingzhu smoothed out the creases on his sleeves and said with a smile, "It's a bit too flashy." This outfit was bought by Granny Liu when he was young and liked…

Two Pawns "Sun Jiawang, gift money five wen, ten eggs. Xu Debao, gift money six wen, eight eggs." Xu Yancheng was announcing the gifts while keeping an eye on Song Tingzhu. He didn't need to remember all the gifts, just the amount of money, but since he was announcing, they were both multitasking, making it fair. In the end, whoever won would depend on their skills. He had been an apprentice with an accountant at a tavern in town for two years, so how could a young man like him possibly lose? Xu Yancheng…

Tingzhu's Limited Abilities After lunch, Tian Le came over with some embroidery work. "Brother-in-law, you must have written quite a few letters this morning." He said while flipping through flower strings with Xia Ge'er, then turned his head to Song Tingzhu. Song Tingzhu smiled and nodded, "Thanks to you for finding Aunt Zhang to help." "It was Brother-in-law's good idea. By the way, I also had the aunts spread the word about you being the ceremony teacher in Shanghe Village. I reckon it's already…
