At this mont, Yang Qiu was standing outside the door, listening clearly to the words of the three sisters-in-law.
She was deeply moved—filled with gratitude that her sisters-in-law regarded her like their own sister. She admired the sisterly bond they shared and couldn’t control her own emotions; she wanted to be part of it, and with that thought, she went ahead.
Yang Qiu pushed the door open and rushed in front of the three sisters-in-law, "Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, Third Sister-in-law!"
The three sisters-in-law hadn’t expected Yang Qiu to co in, but seeing her expression, they knew that she heard everything they said in the room. Seeing the young girl moved to near tears, Xiaoxiao spoke up, "Why are you crying? The good days are yet to co!"
"Yes, I’m not crying. I’ve found my sisters now, and the good days are yet to co." Yang Qiu wiped her tears with her hand and said.
Xiaoxiao smiled and said to Yang Qiu, "What a silly girl."
Being called a silly girl didn’t upset Yang Qiu; she just kept smiling foolishly.
The second sister-in-law teased, "They call you silly, and you’re still smiling."
"Haha!" Yang Qiu kept smiling without retorting, knowing that it was because they liked her.
Everyone had smiles on their faces; such monts were the most harmonious.
A mont later, Xiaoxiao spoke, "Xiaoqiu, I ant what I said. That workshop was always intended to be your dowry. Now that you’re learning business with Sister Xiangxiang, it’s perfect timing. Just focus on learning well."
Hearing this, Yang Qiu beca a bit hesitant, "But, Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law have also contributed a lot to the workshop. How can I take it?"
The second sister-in-law, who always spoke her mind, said bluntly, "Oh, didn’t you hear what your third sister-in-law said just now? Your third sister-in-law has plenty of ideas, and she wants to lead us in doing other things. You haven’t been ho, so you don’t know. Our family is planning to buy the back mountain."
"Buy the back mountain?" Yang Qiu was extrely surprised.
Xiaoxiao nodded, "Yes, so just join in enjoying the good life, and soon you’ll be dressed in gold and silver."
Even as she said this, Xiaoxiao wasn’t entirely sure in her heart about what would happen at ho and whether the hazelnuts on the back mountain had already been ruined.
Upon ntioning the back mountain, the second sister-in-law asked, "Third sister-in-law, the villagers have picked all the hazelnuts at ho; what should we do?"
Xiaoxiao, pretending nothing was wrong, said, "Don’t worry. We’ll figure it out when we get back."
In truth, she hadn’t yet thought of a solution and wasn’t sure whether the people had sold the hazelnuts in town or how well they sold, which would directly affect her next steps. "Alright, let’s hurry back to sleep."
With that, they parted and returned to their respective rooms. The Guo family’s house was large, with many guest rooms, so even with more than ten people from the Yang family, each person had their own room.
As soon as Xiaoxiao entered the room and turned to close the door, she was embraced from the front by Yang Ming, "Wife."
Xiaoxiao turned around and placed her finger on Yang Ming’s lips, saying, "Hubby, let’s not say thank you between us!"
She could hear in Yang Ming’s voice that he was about to say thank you, to express his gratitude for everything she did today. But for Xiaoxiao, none of it was significant. As long as the family was harmonious, without scheming against each other, money wasn’t everything.
Hearing his wife’s words, Yang Ming imdiately stopped speaking. Once she removed her hand, he said, "Wife, I love you."
That "I love you" contained so many layers of emotion.
