"I'm afraid that one day my father, mother, and brothers will be like my grandfather and abandon me like a worn-out shoe. When I think of such a day coming, my heart feels like it's being burned by fire."

Hearing this, Aunt Li quickly comforted: "Miss, you don't have to worry about this. They love the eldest lady because of their blood relationship, but they love you, miss, because of the friendship you have had for more than ten years. That is true.

No one can erase it!"

"The eldest lady has lived in the countryside for more than ten years. She has no knowledge or cultivation. She has been hiding it very well in the past few days since she first entered the house, but she doesn't carry it in her bones. Sooner or later, she will be exposed. Now we have just met.

Because of the debt, Madam and the young master are naturally very tolerant towards the eldest lady. As time goes by, this tolerance will be worn away."

Grandma Li analyzed the pros and cons for Wei Qingwan.

Wei Qingwan shook her head: "If she was as vulgar and arrogant as you said, I wouldn't be so worried, but I saw that Wei Qingruo's behavior at the dinner table was not as vulgar as ordinary mountain women, you said

That situation may not happen..."

Aunt Li looked worried: "Miss, don't always think in bad directions. Don't worry. When I taught the eldest lady the rules in the past few days, I saw her true face and made sure that she would be in front of the master and his wife."

That cute appearance is all just an act."

"Really?" Wei Qingwan couldn't help but feel happy.

"it is true!"

"Mommy, I also know that I shouldn't expect anything bad from my sister. I'm just too scared... I'm like a duckweed in the pond. If I'm not careful, I don't know where it will float.

…”

"I know, Miss, that you are kind-hearted. If I hadn't suffered too many grievances recently, I would never think about others like this. Miss, don't worry, I will handle some things for you without you.

Worrying and sad."

"Um……"

With the comfort of Grandma Li, Wei Qingwan's mood improved a little.

Then he fell asleep under the care of Nanny Li and Cui He.

Early the next morning, Wei Ruo went to see Yun and told her about his desire to go out.

Just planting some crops in the yard is not enough for Wei Ruo.

Firstly, space upgrades require more experience; secondly, she needs to earn more capital for her own life to ensure her ability to survive after leaving the Wei family.

So Wei Ruo now needs to find a way to expand her industry. First she has to go out.

As a lady of the house, she cannot go out easily. If she wants to go out, she must give permission from the matron of the house.

"Where do you want Ruo'er to go?" Yun asked patiently without getting angry.

"I want to visit the surrounding areas of the county and see the villages and fields there. Is it convenient?"

"There is no problem in the surrounding mountain villages, but you can only go to the northwest. You can't go outside the southeast city, and you can't go to the seaside. Those unscrupulous Japanese pirates don't know when they will come out and cause trouble. Well, our family has a place in the north of the city.

A terraced mountain, go there and have a look." Yunshi explained.

"Okay." It was exactly what she wanted.

"I'll go with you after I read the account book later, okay?"

"Don't bother, I can go by myself."

"That won't work, Ruo'er, you are a lady now, and you can't run around casually anymore. Although the city is not as dangerous as outside the city, it is still not safe enough for a girl like you."

"Then mother can just find someone to follow me. There is no need to go to the trouble of accompanying me in person. Mother has to be busy with the affairs of the whole family. I can't delay mother any longer and make her suffer."

If Mrs. Yun goes with her, it will be inconvenient for her to do things.

Yun: "Ruo'er is really sensible and knows how to care about your mother."

Uh...that's not what she actually meant.

"Mom, let me go by myself." Wei Ruo said.

"Okay, I know you're not very used to life in the mansion yet, so you can go and have a look, but you can't run around, you know?"

"good."

After receiving Yun's approval, Wei Ruo quickly prepared to go out.

Yun sent a carriage, a nun and a guard to accompany Wei Ruo.

That nun was the other of the two nuns who went to pick up Wei Ruo - Aunt Zhang.

Knowing that Wei Ruo was going to the countryside again, Nanny Zhang was murmuring in her heart.

Why is this eldest lady not finished? Isn't it enough that she has been in the countryside for so many years? Why is it that when she returns to the government and becomes an official lady, she still thinks about things in the countryside?

If you continue like this, let alone being laughed at when you go to the capital in the future, even in Xingshan County, you will become the laughing stock of other official ladies!

Although she was extremely reluctant, because it was the madam's request, Nanny Zhang had no choice but to comply. She also had a smile on her face when she saw Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo took a carriage out of the city. After leaving the north city gate, he could see the rolling hills in the distance, almost all of which had been cultivated into terraced fields.

Xingshan County faces the sea in the southeast. Most of the wasteland outside the city is saline-alkali land, which is not suitable for planting. Therefore, the residents living there make a living by fishing. Nowadays, Japanese pirates are rampant and fishermen have fled into the city.

The northwest is hilly, with many mountains and slopes and little arable land. The hard-working people cultivate terraced fields and plant rice on the hills.

However, terraced fields require more labor than cultivated land, and planting is also much more difficult.

Therefore, even if so many terraced fields are cultivated, there is still not enough food to eat.

The carriage turned and stopped in front of a small hill. Xiumei helped Wei Ruo get out of the carriage.

Nanny Zhang pointed to the small hill in front of her and said to Wei Ruo: "Miss, this is Mantou Mountain, and it is the property of our school captain's mansion."

"Is this the same mountain?"

"Yes."

"anything else?"

"No, the Lieutenant's Mansion has only been in Xingshan County for five years, and its foundation here is still a bit weak. But your grandfather was a loyal uncle in the capital, and the family's wealth is much higher." Mammy Zhang replied.

Mammy said with excitement on her face, but in fact, Wei Ruo knew in her heart that the Wei family's wealth had been almost exhausted a long time ago, leaving only the empty shell of the Earl's Mansion.

Wei Mingting is quite capable. As a sixth-grade school captain, his family can also purchase some properties, unlike his two brothers who will only destroy the properties left by their ancestors.

"I'm going to take a look around." After Wei Ruo said that, he started walking along the path down the mountain.

Aunt Zhang had no choice but to follow behind.

After walking for a while, Grandma Zhang felt it was difficult and she couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

What is this going on? When will it go?

What an old bone she has!

Seeing that Nanny Zhang was struggling, Wei Ruo asked her to go back to the carriage to rest, but Nanny Zhang refused, and she was worried about Wei Ruo.

I don't know what this country girl will do, and I don't want to be implicated when the time comes.

After walking for a while, Wei Ruo stopped in front of an uncultivated barren mountain.
Chapter completed!
