Just as Song Zongwen's donkey cart arrived at the entrance of the manor, he saw Uncle Chen waiting there with a few people.

"Uncle Chen, thank you."

The man said sincerely.

Uncle Chen waved his hand and said smilingly, "It should be Benefactor who has helped me a lot."

From time to time, he would go to the village that he managed to manage to pay the main house the new vegetables and report on the progress of the village.

In recent years, bandits had been rampant, and Su Zongwen's martial arts were superb. He did not have to worry about that in the future, what kind of fortune or life could he have.

Because the two of them were invited by Uncle Chen, and since Shen Zhu was the cook that the young mistress liked, the Uncle Chen arranged a shared three-in-one courtyard.

Shen Zhu and Su Zongwen were arranged to stay in the innermost courtyard.

After Su Zongwen moved all the items in, the Uncle Chen brought him to familiarize with the environment.

Before the man left, he instructed, "Don't touch the big item. Wait for me to come back and clean it up."

Shen Zhu watched as the two figures left, then turned to look at the shelves in the room, and started laughing.

She couldn't move even if she wanted to ?

She took out the bed and prepared to walk inside.

Suddenly, an aged voice sounded.

"Lady Shen has just arrived, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask my wife."

Shen Zhu turned his head around, and saw a fifty year old wife and a thirteen-fourteen year old girl enter the door.

The woman realized that their neighbors had come to visit and quickly invited the two in.

"Thank you, Aunt. We will be working at Villa together in the future. Please take care of me."

These words were said with courtesy and humility.

"It's not convenient for you to have such a big belly. Let my servant help you clean it up."

Old Lady Liu said enthusiastically as she regained her senses and saw that Ye Ci had tidied up the room with her big belly.

She had never seen the Uncle Chen so enthusiastic about a worker at work. She was curious about this and brought her daughter over to see what kind of character this new family had.

Hmm, based on this girl's attitude, she didn't seem to be unreasonable.

"There's no need to trouble yourself. This room is already very clean. Just wait for my husband to come back and take care of the big items." Shen Zhu smiled apologetically: I'm just feeling wronged, I didn't even take a sip of hot water when I entered.

"I just moved in. Most of them are like that."

Liu Qiu's face was also filled with joy as he introduced himself first, "Sister-in-law can just call me Ah Qiu from now on."

Shen Zhu liked people who were straightforward and carefree.

From their conversation, Shen Zhu learned that the middle-aged woman was surnamed Liu, and thus called her Aunt Liu.

The girl behind her was her daughter, Liu Qiu. She was slightly younger than Shen Zhu and her nickname was Ah Qiu.

The three families lived together in this courtyard, and the housing level in the manor was considered average.

Those who were able to live here, other than the children of their families and those who had broken the rules and were promoted to the family of the village, were not allowed to live here.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, two girls stayed at the courtyard. One of them was called Zhen'er, she was gentle and weak, her parents had been a servant in the capital city, and had followed the young mistress to the manor. The other was called Zhuer, who had a lot of good intentions.

The two of them had a good relationship and were sisters that could talk about anything.

The second to enter courtyard was naturally the Aunt Liu and her daughter, Ah Qiu.

Aunt Liu was considered an old man in the capital city. As he got older, he was assigned to the village to serve. His life was very easy because he was taken care of by the old madame in the capital.

Ah Qiu helped the little kitchen on a daily basis due to their relationship with the Aunt Liu.

The three of them chatted without saying a word. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Shen Zhu suddenly remembered that a few days ago, she had felt bored and was strolling around the village when she saw Ai Hui. Coincidentally, there was still meat at home, so she made a few green balls.

The green and oily fruit cake gave people a great appetite, and with the fragrance of wild vegetables, it was even more attractive.

Shen Zhu took it out from the box, "Aunt, Ah Qiu, try it."

These things were originally brought here as a greeting gift to the neighbors.

"This taste is even better than the snacks sold in the Moon Treasure Pavilion. What a coincidence."

Aunt Liu took a bite, his lips leaving a trace of fragrance, and said with a face full of surprise.

"It's just some casual snacks. How can they be compared with the Moon Treasure Pavilion?"

Shen Zhu was overwhelmed by the favour.

It was a snack shop that was famous for its Clear Water Town and sold the most exquisite pastries. Most of the people who could afford to spend money on it were rich families and ordinary people would not be willing to spend that much money to buy it.

"I heard from Uncle Chen a few days ago that your cooking skills are very good!" The Aunt Liu laughed as he praised.

Ah Qiu also nodded his head. He glanced at Mother and shamelessly said, "Whatever good food Sister-in-law is going to cook, remember to leave me some."

Shen Zhu agreed with a smile.

What do you mean? When she saw Liu Qiu, she really liked him from the bottom of her heart.

Old Lady Liu laughed and scolded Liu Qiu, "Why don't you know how to learn?"

His tone was unpleasant, but no anger could be heard.

Ah Qiu winked mischievously at her mother, "Mother, you stopped me even though you were trying so hard to act like a spoiled sister-in-law."

Old Lady Liu helplessly pointed at Liu Qiu. "You!"

Just as he finished speaking, a proud and arrogant female voice sounded from afar.

"Yo, why is the courtyard so lively today?"
