Xujiaping is separated from Hejia Village by a mountain.

Logically speaking, the distance between the two villages is not too far, but because they are separated by mountains instead of roads, there is not much contact between the villagers of the two villages.

However, there are still some villagers who are married to each other.

Mrs. Li's sister married Xujiaping.

Mrs. Li no longer has any relatives in her natal family, only this sister.

Now that Mrs. Li is going to the capital to enjoy the blessings, whether it's for family ties or to show off, she should tell the girls in Xujiaping.

"Old lady, don't worry, my servant will escort you for this matter!"

Jixiang was very respectful to Mrs. Li and was busy serving her.

After hearing Mrs. Li's words about wanting to go to Xujiaping, Jixiang said with a smile.

"Oh, no! No need! Xujiaping is not far away, and my legs and feet are fine too, so don't bother—"

Although she knew that this little girl was the slave of her own beloved, Mrs. Li had been a low-class commoner for almost her whole life, so she really couldn't handle calling her a slave.

In addition to being unable to adapt to the change of status for the time being, Mrs. Li's fear of using Jixiang also has something to do with this girl's demeanor.

Looking at Ji Xiang's appearance, she really doesn't look like a groveling slave. In fact, she is more dignified than the daughter of their county magistrate.

Of course, Mrs. Li has never met the daughter of the magistrate's family.

She just felt that among the noble people she knew, the most noble and elegant ones should be the women of the county magistrate's family.

As for his own granddaughter, she has become the princess's blessing. Ahem, after all, she is the child she raised by herself, so she is too familiar.

Mrs. Li simply couldn't imagine what her sweet grandson Jingui looked like.

Ji Xiang's dignity is completely different from the maid He Yingying bought to serve Sister He. Mrs. Li did not dare to order her around easily.

"Old lady, what are you talking about? This servant is specially sent by the princess to serve you!"

"If you have anything to do, just tell your slave!"

"If you are always so polite, reasonable people will know that you are kind and generous, while unreasonable people may think that you dislike your slave!"

"Old lady, if I don't serve you well, the princess will definitely punish me when I return to the capital!"

Ji Xiang deliberately looked pitiful.

Sure enough, her change made her demeanor change slightly.

When Mrs. Li saw this, she actually felt pity for the little maid.

Alas, forget it, even if she was once a young lady from a wealthy family, now she is just a slave beside Fu Bao!

Mrs. Li no longer had any psychological burden, so she followed Ji Xiang's words and nodded, "Okay, then you will go to Xujiaping with me."

Later, Mrs. Li was very happy for her decision.

Nothing else, this Jixiang is too capable and thoughtful.

From the carriages used to travel, to the gifts prepared for girls...all kinds of things, Jixiang thought of them all.

Sitting in a spacious and comfortable carriage, wearing brand-new clothes and gold and jade jewelry that Mrs. Li never dreamed of, with exquisite snacks and steaming tea on the small table in front of her, Mrs. Li just

I feel like I'm in a dream.

Oh my God, this is a kind of enjoyment that only gods can have.

So comfortable, so, so satisfying!

While Mrs. Li was excited and happy, she also had an inexplicable desire——

Later, when she went to Xujiaping, her sister must have been particularly envious when she saw how wealthy she looked.

Ahem, I don’t blame Mrs. Li for being vain, it’s actually a knot in her mind.

There is not much age difference between the two sisters. Mrs. Li is only two years older than her sister.

At that time, the two got married at the same time.

Mrs. Li married into the He family in this village, while her sister married into Xujiaping on the other side of the mountain.

At that time, Hejiacun was much better than Xujiaping. Although he was poor, his family had land and they would never starve to death.

As for Xujiaping, where Li Ermei married, many of them were hunters and depended on the mountains, and most of the villagers did not own their own fields.

The ancestors of Li Ermei's husband's family were hunters. The family purchased two acres of thin farmland, but because the land was too barren, the food they grew was not enough to pay taxes.

Therefore, Brother-in-law Xu mainly focused on hunting.

This kind of life of relying on the mountains is more difficult than farming.

Because besides trying your luck, you may also encounter danger.

Brother-in-law Xu encountered a blind bear during a hunting trip, and his leg was broken by a bear's paw.

Fortunately, he managed to save his life, but he has been disabled since then.

During that time, the Xu family's life was very difficult.

As for Mrs. Li, her life was not easy, but she still supported her younger sister.

In addition to feeling sorry for her sister, Mrs. Li also has a little thought - to outdo her sister!

However, within a few years, Mrs. Li gave birth to three sons one after another, and her parents-in-law passed away due to illness one after another. The life of the He family suddenly became difficult.

As for my sister, when brother-in-law Xu went to dig a trap in the mountains, he accidentally dug up a wild ginseng and was bought by a nobleman from the county town for one hundred taels of silver.

The Xu family built a house, bought land, and even bought a small shop in the town. They did not do business, but only used it to collect rent.

The situation of the two families was instantly reversed.

In the past, the elder sister supported the younger sister, and now the younger sister helps the older sister.

Mrs. Li is the most stubborn person, and because she is the eldest sister, she does not want to always have hands with her younger sister.

But the reality forced her to accept the gift from her sister, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

After having Fu Bao, the He family's life gradually improved, and the "competition" between Mrs. Li and her sister came to an end.

This is not to say that the relationship between the two sisters is not good, but as humans, there is always a tendency to compare.

And this kind of comparison does not affect the relationship between their sisters.

At most it’s just a little fun between two sisters!

Sure enough, after Mrs. Li arrived at Xujiaping in a luxurious carriage, she was immediately surrounded by villagers.

"Oh, whose distinguished guest is this?"

"Maybe they are passing by. Which family in Xujiaping has such a relative?"

"Huh? The carriage is heading towards Xu Laosan's house. Is it here to find Xu Laosan?"

"...Oh, my mother, I, I look so familiar to that rich old lady, she seems to be the eldest sister of Mr. Xu's family!"

The villagers followed the carriage curiously, watching and talking in low voices.

Mrs. Li, who was sitting in the carriage, was extremely happy when she heard these words.

Pretending to be reserved, she lifted the car curtains and stuck half of her head out.

When the following melon-eaters saw her appearance, they were first dazzled by the glittering golden jewelry on her head.

Then, someone with a keen eye recognized him, "They are not relatives of Mr. Xu's family. I heard that her son has opened a shop in the county, and the business is doing great!"

"That's right! It's called 'All Come to Fish', tsk, the name sounds weird, but the business is very good!"

"No wonder, it turns out that my son and I have become rich as well!"

"...If you ask me, Xu Laosan's family is lucky to have such a rich sister, and she is waiting to enjoy the blessings!"

The villagers in Xujiaping were envious and jealous, and Mrs. Li listened to all their comments.

Mrs. Li was a little unhappy at first: "Why rely on my son? I rely on my family's blessing!"

However, Mrs. Li was very happy with the phrase "Xu's family is blessed."

Right, since she is rich, she will take care of her sister.

Li Ermei:......

She was feeding chickens in the back yard when she heard a noise from a distance.

Gu Si

She thought it was Xu Lezi's family next door who was making trouble again, and she felt pity for the Changsheng child.

Originally, she didn't want to care about these things.

But when she thought about immortality, she couldn't help it.

Finally, Li Ermei gritted her teeth and walked to the front yard carrying the food bowl.

However, she did not see the commotion in the yard next door, but found a group of people walking towards her home on the road not far away.

"Huh? What happened?"
