By the time they all sat down at the table, it was already dark.

"It's been a long time since we got together, especially my little sister. We must go home and walk around more in the future. Look at how close Xiaohua and Xiaocao are."

Although Shen Qiu was not good at making public remarks, he showed his eldest son's demeanor today and took the lead in toasting everyone.

"Brother, you used to be on duty in the military camp, and there was nothing we could do to help. But as long as you ask, there is no time for brothers to say no." Shen Bei and his brothers are good friends They clinked their glasses and both drank it in one gulp.

"I want to toast to eldest brother too!" Shen Fugui joined in the fun with his own wine glass.

In the past, he was not allowed to drink, but today was a special situation, and Yao Shu drank two more drinks.

The whole family was eating and drinking lively, and the sky outside was as dark as if it had been splashed with ink.

"It's getting late, Xiaoru, you can rest at home today. There are still empty rooms on the left and right," Yao Shu said.

She cherished her daughter who had already left the court a little more. After all, it was not easy to be the daughter-in-law of another family, so she could only let her not suffer any injustice in her own home.

"That's fine, we won't have to rush in the dark." Shen Ru happily agreed.

Mrs. Zhao and Ms. Qiao immediately packed up the empty room and laid out two new quilts.

"Everyone is tired today, let's take a rest early." After saying this, Yao Shu went back to her room.

As soon as Shen Nanshan returned to the room, he saw her with her back to him, counting her belongings.

"What are you doing?" He never paid attention to things. Although he knew that the situation at home was no longer what it used to be, he didn't know how much money he had.

Yao Shu thought it was better for him to be confused, lest he accidentally reveal his family situation and attract rumors.

"It's nothing, I'm just wondering, should we change places?" Dahe Village is good, but the water flows to lower places and people go to higher places.

They can achieve better development and cannot be confined to this small place for the rest of their lives. Otherwise, wouldn't the road she has worked so hard to pave be in vain?

Shen Qiu will be on duty in the military camp soon, Shen Fugui's study must also be put on the agenda, and Shen Bei wants to do business outside.

None of these things can be accomplished by living in Dahe Village.

"Wouldn't it be nice for us to stay at home?" Shen Nanshan obviously didn't have the foresight she did, and felt that it would be a blessing to guard one-third of an acre of his own land and live a stable life for the rest of his life.

"It's not for the two of us, it's just that the children should go outside and have a look." Yao Shu did not refute him fiercely, knowing that this matter could not be rushed.

Now that she has gradually mastered the knack of communicating with Shen Nanshan, there is basically nothing that cannot be done.

"Okay, anyway, you are in charge of the family now. If the children are willing, they will be left to your arrangement." Shen Nanshan said nonchalantly.

He's used to being heartless.

Yao Shu carefully counted the cash in her hand again. Naturally, they were not a wealthy family, but it was not a problem to settle down in the city.

Yao Shu was still thinking about the next arrangements in her sleep.

Early in the morning, the Shen family was woken up by a knock on the door.

"Here we come." After getting dressed, Shen Qiu went to open the door.

"I think this handsome man must be Mr. Shen." The person who came here spoke in a polite manner, which made Shen Qiu, who had just gotten up in a hurry, feel a little ashamed of himself.

"You've received the award. I wonder what you mean when you come to visit me in person?"

Shen Qiu really couldn't remember where they met such a person?

"It's us who are disturbing us. My husband heard about the Shen family's story some time ago. I wonder if I can invite your parents and Ling Ci to come and talk about it."

Judging from his tone, he was probably the manager of a wealthy family.

Shen Qiu didn't agree at all. Just when he was hesitating, Yao Shu had already packed up and went out to welcome the guests.

"That's very kind of you. Come in and have a cup of tea first."

She didn't inquire about this man's origins, and to be honest, she didn't care.

From the moment she agreed to General Ling, she knew that many people would come to inquire about their relationship.

Human relationships are warm and cold, this is common sense.

Later, they discovered that the general had no close contact with them and might never visit him again.

But now everyone is a guest, and Yao Shu cannot turn them away.

After the steward entered their yard, he found that it was an ordinary yard of a farmer's house, except that it was cleaned more neatly.

I wonder what the relationship is between this family and the general?

"Mrs. Shen is really just as the rumors said, her magnanimity is incomparable." The steward said with a smile.

Although these words contained some deliberate flattery, when he saw Yao Shu today, she was indeed different from what he had imagined.

"You must stop boasting. I don't know where to put my old face."

One morning passed, Yao Shu and her sons received several groups of people, all of whom were from wealthy families in the city, including Zhang Yuanwai and Li Xiucai.

They are all people who have never been exposed to before.

"Oh, I'm too embarrassed to enter your house. I heard that many distinguished guests came today."

"Yes, yes, what is his identity, and what is our identity? It seems that we won't be able to visit at will in the future."

During this period of time, the folks in the village were always paying attention to their situation, so of course such a big movement would not escape their eyes.

After hearing this, Yao Shu just smiled and said: "Everyone has known the truth for so many years, but saying this is a mistake."

Although she said so verbally, Yao Shu also understood that today is different from the past.

The neighbors always said those words with a bit of sourness, and the guests coming and going also made them uneasy.

It seems that the plan to move out is being brought forward.

She just did it and announced it at the dinner table that night.

"Huh? Why do we have to move?"

No one has reacted yet.

"You see, the boss will be on duty in the military camp from now on, so he can't run back and forth every day. There are other people who are studying and doing business. Which of these things wouldn't be more convenient in the city?"

What Yao Shu said was reasonable and well-founded, leaving no room for refutation.

Shen Qiu nodded and said, "It's because we didn't think carefully enough."

But moving out as a family is not a trivial matter. They have to find a place to stay in the city first.

"I'll go check out my accommodation tomorrow." As soon as Yao Shu said this, the others naturally had no objection.

In just three to five days, she found a satisfactory courtyard. It was a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits, which was more than enough for their family.

"Mom, such a big yard must not be cheap, right?" Mrs. Zhao didn't come to the city often and seemed a little timid.

"One hundred taels of silver." Yao Shu replied while looking at the yard carefully.

"So expensive!" Mrs. Qiao gasped after hearing this. Can they really afford it?
