and didn't dare to make a sound.Logically speaking, there were only two daughters-in-law in the Li family: she and Zhao Yuru. Zhao Yuru was in Lu'an and didn't come back often, so she was the only on...Li Laosan declined the offer, then carefully picked up his niece and gently kissed her forehead. “Don't worry, Funiang’er. Third Uncle will definitely work hard and earn a lot of silver.”

Jia Yin smiled and nodded, taking the opportunity to ask for a favor, "Third Uncle, I want a pony!"

Li Laosan immediately beamed, "Good, Sanbo, I'll make you a rocking horse chair, right on the kang for you to play with. It's about to snow soon, it's cold outside, so stay indoors more!"

Tao Hongying tapped her daughter's forehead and chided, "I know you only take advantage of your third uncle! He takes care of the shop during the day and still has to do carpentry work for you at night!"

Li Laosan quickly moved his chubby niece to the other arm, and with an honest smile, replied, "I'm not tired, I'm not tired, it's not a big object!"

Li Laotai was delighted and said, "Old Three, have dinner first before going back!"

"Alright, Mother, I'll go take a look at Da Yong's new courtyard first. I've been in Luan for so long and haven't helped with anything!" Li Laosan got up, and Li Er and Li Si, not having much to do themselves, accompanied him.

Tao Hongying took Shuiyun and Shuiling to the kitchen to cook, leaving Li Laotai holding her granddaughter standing at the doorway of the main hall. Seeing her three sons laughing and chatting as they went out the gate, she let out a long sigh of relief.

All parents in the world, who doesn't worry about their children

Especially when there is a huge gap in wealth between parents and children, one can't help but wish that the children's property could be evenly distributed.

But from the children's point of view, why should they have to give their hard-earned money to others

Thus, a contradiction arose, laying the groundwork for division and antagonism.

Old Mrs. Li didn't read much, but with so many children, the consequences of not treating them equally were evident – none of them remained loyal to her. Despite this, she understood it perfectly well.

So, she felt even more guilty and worried about the third son's family.

Thankfully, she has a good granddaughter!

She lowered her head and rubbed her granddaughter's chubby cheeks, her eyes reddened. “What good deeds did grandma do in her past life that Heaven allowed you to be born into the Li family”

Jia Yin guessed how many points, quickly wiped tears for grandma and hugged grandma several kisses. “Grandma don’t cry, Fu Niu likes Uncle, likes brother, willing to give them good things!”

And Uncle and the brothers earned silver, all of which they gave to Funiu'er. Funiu'er didn't have to work at all and became a little rich girl! Funiu'er was happy!

Li Laotai laughed, wiping her eyes with both hands and hugging the little girl tightly. She nodded repeatedly, "Good, good. If they don't treat you well in the future, Grandma will break their legs!"

Jia Yin giggled, hugging Li Laotai's neck and pointing at the kitchen, "Grandma, Fu Niu'er is hungry. Let's go steal some food!"

"Alright, let's go see what delicious food your mother is making!" Li Laotai chuckled at her plump granddaughter and headed towards the kitchen.

In a little while, Jia Yin hugged the small bowl and sat on the doorstep, openly stealing a bite.

Li Laotai helped with the fire, chatting with her daughter-in-law from time to time. Shuiyun and Shuiling occasionally chimed in, making the small kitchen lively.

Jia Yin smiled as she listened, and the fried meatballs in her hand smelled even more delicious.

Both her grandmother and the rest of the family loved her dearly. Certainly, a part of their affection stemmed from her magical abilities to bring good fortune and prosperity to their home, but she believed that the majority of it was simply pure love.

Because her surname was Li, she was the only daughter in three generations of the Li family.

Likewise, her meticulous care for the home stems from a desire for prosperity and safety within it, hoping for greater protection and a more abundant material life. But above all, it's driven by love!

Grandma felt guilty and sad. After all, she was just a little girl, and she had to protect her family and make sure everyone got their share of the good things.

Actually, in her past life, she was just an ordinary person. She didn't have any extraordinary talents or ambitions to rule the world.

This life, being reincarnated here, all I want is simplicity: food and clothing without worry, a happy and harmonious family!

Now, she has the status of a county lord and the wealth of the Fragrant Gold Beach.

Even though she didn't have to work for a living, her family's business still brought in a steady stream of money. Not only that, but she was also showered with love and protection from her entire family.

She didn't feel cheated or wronged at all, she was extremely satisfied...

After lunch, Li Laosan hurried back to Luo'an Town.

Tao Hongying was busy continuing to copy the recipe. Li Laotai, fearing that her granddaughter would disturb her daughter-in-law from doing her work, took her granddaughter and Grandma He to the back to send out the clothes.

Zhao Shu and the others were all beaming with joy. They washed their hands several times before daring to open the new padded jacket and trousers, touching them over and over again.

"Oh my, this new set of clothes is really thick. Actually, there's no need to buy a new one, last year's one can still be worn." Uncle Zhao said, but his hands couldn't bear to put the new clothes down.

The other old men nodded in agreement. Wang Sishu said, "That's right, it's a shame to wear such good clothes."

"How can we say it's a pity!" Old Li readily poured the old men a bowl of "comforting chicken soup," "There are many things happening in this village and outside. There are plenty of things that don't require you to worry about them!"

"Without elders like you keeping things in order, those youngsters in the village would surely cause all sorts of trouble. Just take Wei Dajun for example, he got a good beating and now he's much more well-behaved. Otherwise, he might have turned into a gambling addict and ended up ruining his family."

As expected, the old men were excited and their faces flushed with excitement.

Uncle Wang Si responded, “That's what we should do. Young people are prone to making mistakes. We need to keep an eye on them so they don't go the wrong way and suffer losses.”

"So, you all should eat more, stay warm, and take a stroll around the village in the evening," Li Laotai said with a smile. "The village will be safer that way."

"Don't worry, big sister. We're here to look after the village, and everything will be safe and sound." Zhao Shu patted his chest and assured everyone on behalf of all the old brothers.

Old Mrs. Li went to deliver cotton-padded clothes to Hui's family again. Hui's needlework was the best, but she was busy building a courtyard recently and didn't have time to prepare at all.

I don't want to, Li Lao Tai has already prepared everything. She happily reddened her eyes, and vowed in her heart that she would treat Li Lao Tai as her own mother-in-law from now on and be filial to her.

Of course, Auntie Wu and the village head treated her well.

She had a vague idea in mind, just waiting for things to settle down at home before she started making arrangements...

Before dusk, the first snow of winter finally fell.

Because tomorrow was another grand court session, Li La Er took a carriage and crushed the thin snow as he drove into the city.

He ordered a pot of fish soup at the restaurant, and bought three kilograms of mutton and two jugs of wine.

That evening, he had a mutton hot pot with Mr. Wen, drinking and chatting, it couldn't be more pleasant.

Although the two personal guards borrowed from the Hou Mansion still haven't figured out who is behind the gambling den manager,

But Mr. Wen and Lao Li had the same thought, someone must be targeting Suijintan and the Li family.

However, it's still unclear who is behind this.

Mr. Wen advised Lao Er Li to keep calm, as long as it was a fox, there would definitely be an opportunity. Grasp their exposed tails.

Both of them didn't expect that this opportunity would appear so soon.

The grand court gatherings of Emperor Tianwu were always about trivial matters. The outcome never mattered; once the appointed hour arrived, the civil and military officials dispersed like birds and beasts.

Those who had last taken Li Lao Er out for drinks and food, whether they were angry or feeling guilty, haven't come to bother him again.

Li Laoer was delighted by the tranquility. He greeted Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng, then went to visit Xianke Lai.

As soon as he turned onto the shopping street, someone bumped into him headfirst! her mother snatched it away and pushed her aside, then dragged her into the house to scold her."You still have the appetite to eat, what's going on outside, it's really killing me!"Old Li also settle...
