After they returned home, Wen Shutang handed the remaining six bottles of perfume to the servant who had followed them from Zhaixing Tower.

The servant took the perfume, thanked him and left.

Wen Shutang sent the people out of the yard before returning to the house. Ever since Zhang Dahe's accident, people often came to her to ask about the next village chief.

How could Wen Shutang know such things? Although she said she had nothing to say every time, the villagers seemed to be determined that she had a relationship with the town's headman.

After a while, Wen Shutang got used to it. After eating in town and returning home with some free time, Xiao Ze took his younger brothers and sisters to write in the house, Wen Shutang fed the chickens in the yard, and Xiao Yizhuo sat in the yard making a cage for the new gray rabbit.

The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful, and there is a sense of security in the secluded countryside life.

Wen Shutang was enjoying the tranquility of the moment when he suddenly heard a voice coming from outside.

"Is Xiao Qiu'er home?"

The next second, Liu Sufen and Wen Yaoshi appeared at the gate of the yard. Wen Shutang was very surprised to see them.

"Mom, second brother? Why are you here?"

As soon as Liu Sufen saw Wen Shutang, she smiled: "I just wanted to come and see you when I had some free time. How are you? Have you had any troubles these days?"

"No, everything is fine. Where are dad and big brother? Why didn't they come with us?"

"Your father is busy working in the fields, and your elder brother is busy accompanying your sister-in-law." Liu Sufen patted the back of Wen Shutang's hand and glanced towards Xiao Yizhuo.

Xiao Yizhuo had already stood up when the two of them came in. Seeing Liu Sufen looking at him, he immediately greeted her.

"Mother-in-law, uncle."

Liu Sufen smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth and agreed repeatedly: "Hey, you are all at home today."

Wen Yaoshi also smiled and nodded to Xiao Yizhuo.

"Yes, Aze Academy is closed today, and we just picked him up from town." Wen Shutang explained.

Liu Sufen was stunned for a moment: "The eldest son is going to the academy?"

She didn't expect that Wen Shutang, who disliked the three children of the Xiao family so much, would agree to let the eldest son go to the academy.

Wen Shutang nodded. She naturally knew what Liu Sufen was thinking: "I've been gone for five days."

"Okay, the academy is good. After learning some skills, we can leave the village in the future." Liu Sufen held Wen Shutang's hand with satisfaction.

Perhaps hearing the noise in the yard, the three children came out of the house. When they saw Liu Sufen and Wen Yao, they were stunned for a moment.

Xiao Ze was the first to react and greeted them: "Grandma, uncle."

When she saw Xiao Ze, a look of surprise flashed across Liu Sufen's face. She had seen these three children before, and each one was thinner than the other. Now the eldest son had grown so tall.

Although Xiao Ye and Xiao Wan were young, they knew etiquette and called people.

Zhou Tong is now pregnant with the Wen family's child. Liu Sufen is looking forward to the baby in her belly from the bottom of her heart. Now when she sees these three well-behaved children, her heart suddenly melts, her eyes smile into crescents, and she quickly agrees.

"Hey, they are all good kids."

She turned her head and glanced at Wen Shutang, her tone full of reproach.

"I told you that the children were all good, but you didn't listen and insisted on doing those ridiculous things. Now the family is so harmonious and happy."

Wen Yaoshi tugged at her sleeve, and Liu Sufen realized what she had said and immediately started to make amends.

"But everything is fine now. From now on, it is more important for you to live a good life."

Wen Shutang glanced at Xiao Yizhuo and said, "I know, don't worry, Mom. I was too absurd in the past, but I have changed now."

Liu Sufen nodded with satisfaction. Wen Yaoshi kept staring at Xiao Ze and Xiao Wan with a smile in his eyes.

"Since mother and second brother are here, why don't you stay for dinner?" Wen Shutang took Liu Sufen's arm.

Liu Sufen poked her head and said lovingly, "No, I'm not going to eat anymore. I just came to see you. I feel relieved to see that you are doing well. I have to go back and cook for your father and sister-in-law."

"Mother-in-law, please stay. I will invite father-in-law and brother-in-law later so that we can have a meal as a family." Xiao Yizhuo spoke at the right time.

Wen Shutang looked at him in surprise, and seeing that there was no other expression on his face, he simply continued speaking along with what Xiao Yizhuo said.

"Yes, mother, please stay. You can taste my cooking skills later."

Seeing that both of them wanted her to stay, Liu Sufen stopped refusing: "Okay, then let the second brother go and call your father and eldest brother."

Wen Yaoshi nodded: "Okay, I'll go."

When Xiao Ze heard that Wen Shutang was going to make something delicious, he immediately became happy and rushed to Wen Shutang with an excited tone.

"Mom, can we make Mapo Tofu today? My brother hasn't had it in the past few days, so he must be craving for it."

He threw the pot at Xiao Ze's head, which made Wen Shutang laugh. She squatted down and pinched his nose.

"Is it really that Big Brother wants to eat? Or is Aye just craving for food again?"

Xiao Ye's cheeks were red, and he didn't even look at his elder brother. He raised his head and said in a muffled voice: "It's just that elder brother wants to eat."

Xiao Ze looked at his younger brother somewhat helplessly. He was indeed craving for the food Wen Shutang cooked after being away from home for five days, but he felt a little embarrassed when Xiao Ye said it so blatantly.

"Aye will write his name on a piece of paper before eating."

Xiao Ye's face fell immediately after hearing this, and he looked at Wen Shutang for help: "Mom, my brother bullied me."

Wen Shutang said she could do nothing about it. She shrugged and said, "Oh, I can't control this."

Xiao Ye turned around with a wronged look at Xiao Yizhuo who was standing beside him, but all he got was an affirmative look from his father.

"It's just a piece of paper, not much."

Hearing this, Xiao Ze became even more depressed, and his behavior made everyone laugh.

Liu Sufen watched their interaction and was secretly surprised. She never thought that her little daughter, who used to have such a bad temper, could get along so well with these three children. She always felt that something was wrong, but she only wondered for a moment and then she had no other thoughts. She was more happy for her daughter.

Wen Yaoshi went home and called Wen Qing and Wen Ruizhou and his wife over. Zhou Tong didn't want to come at first, but couldn't resist Wen Ruizhou's persuasion and finally came reluctantly.

As soon as they entered the yard, Xiao Yizhuo led them to sit down at the table and began to chat with Wen Qing. His politeness made Wen Shutang couldn't help but smack his lips.

She really didn't expect that Xiao Yizhuo had this side of him. He could make Wen Qing laugh with just a few words.

Wen Shutang washed his hands and kept staring at the situation over there. Wen Qing, who was a simple and honest man, praised Xiao Yizhuo highly and repeatedly praised him as a good son-in-law.

Perhaps noticing Wen Shutang's gaze, Xiao Yizhuo turned his head and happened to meet her eyes.

Xiao Yizhuo blinked at her and then turned around to chat with Wen Qing.

Wen Shutang always felt that she was hallucinating. Why did she see a hint of pride in Xiao Yizhuo's eyes just now?
