The queen looked at the enchanting peony flowers in front of her and smiled.

"I will make her swallow back the words she said in the first place."

Nanny Chu and Eunuch Zhou both showed their most genuine smiles.

"Your Majesty, just give me your order and I will do it for you." Eunuch Zhou said respectfully.

The queen waved her hand, "Don't worry, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is still half a month away, so use this pot of peonies to create some splashes!"

"Yes."

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Lu Qianqian had no idea what Shen Yalan was doing in the capital. At this time, she was discussing the issue of manpower with Old Lady Lu.

Although Du Ying and others, as well as Lu Yi and a few others, were at home, they found that they were still short of manpower when they started working. Lu Qianqian meant to buy some more people back, but Old Mrs. Lu thought it was unnecessary.

In the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles, not all work is done by servants. Some jobs can be done by hiring permanent or temporary workers.

In the past, Old Man Lu was considered a long-term worker and he did not sell himself to that family, so when he stopped working, he would just tell the master and leave.

Old Lady Lu said slowly, "My daughter, farm work is time-bound. When there is no work in the winter, you still have to support your own servants, which costs a lot of money. Now Lu Yi and his men have enough. When there is more work, you can just hire some long-term workers."

After hearing this, Lu Qianqian fell into deep thought. Before she could say anything, Old Lady Lu continued to speak.

"Mom is not saying that we are reluctant to part with the money, but we still have to live in Xinghua Village after all. We have to get along with the villagers and neighbors, and we can't let them say that you look down on them just because you are capable. If we can send some favors, it will also be good for our family."

Lu Qianqian nodded. What the old lady said made sense. They couldn’t avoid everyone. Moreover, the better she did in the future, the more people would be jealous of her.

No one says anything now, but who can guarantee that there won’t be a second or third Liu Zhaodi in the future?

Thinking of this, Lu Qianqian nodded, "I will listen to you, mother. Then you can see who in the village can come."

"Leave this to me. I know very well who can be used and who cannot be used in this village." Old Mrs. Lu promised.

Seeing her daughter listening to her so much, Mrs. Lu was convinced. "Since there is something wrong at home, you can ask your eldest brother and sister-in-law to come over to help. They are both very nice to you and reliable. They won't do anything messy, so you won't be upset when the time comes."

Old Mrs. Lu also loves her son dearly. As long as it does not involve the interests of her daughters, she is willing to give her son some conveniences. After all, they were all born from her belly.

Lu Qianqian would definitely have no problem asking her elder brother and the others to come and help. As long as she could live a good life, she would of course be willing to help. Of course, the person who helped her had to be reliable.

She doesn't want a few ungrateful people to appear again.

"Okay, I'll go talk to your eldest brother about this."

As soon as Mrs. Lu finished speaking, she heard a noise coming from outside.

"What are you doing? Get out of here immediately." Huilan's voice rang out.

“Let Mrs. Lu and Lu Qianqian come out.”

An angry female voice followed.

Lu Qianqian looked at Old Lady Lu, her eyes full of confusion, "Who is here?"

Old Mrs. Lu frowned. Even though she hadn't heard this voice for more than ten years, she could still recognize who it belonged to.

Lin Gui's sister-in-law, the Lin family actually had the courage to come here, it really gave them face.

Old Lady Lu walked out at a brisk pace, and Lu Qianqian quickly followed her.

Then I saw a man and a woman in the yard, entangled with Du Ying and others.

Only after seeing these people did Lu Qianqian find out their identities from her memory.

My sister-in-law’s family, why are they coming here?

When Sister-in-law Lin Gui saw Old Lady Lu and Lu Qianqian coming out, she said angrily, "My dear relatives, you have become so rich that you look down on others. You just asked Xiaofu and Xiaogui to work in your house, but you are unwilling to help with such a small matter."

"It's true what people say. When our family members become capable, they should help each other. We don't want your help for nothing. We have already said that we will work for you, but you just look down on us Lin family members, right?"

Lin Gui's sister-in-law scolded him a lot.

Mrs. Lu and Lu Qianqian were both confused. What the hell? What kind of helper?

Their family wanted to recruit helpers, but when did they say that they wanted people from the Lin family to be the helpers?

"Sister-in-law Lin Gui, I don't know what you are talking about. But let me make it clear. Our family has become capable, and it is our own business. What does it have to do with your Lin family?" Old Mrs. Lu snorted coldly, "Besides, my family will not look for your family when recruiting workers. What are you daydreaming about?"

Sister-in-law Lin Gui was so angry that her face turned red. "This is what your eldest daughter-in-law said. As long as I tell you, you will agree. That's why I brought my son here today. She said that it was you who didn't agree. You are playing tricks on us, right?"

Old Mrs. Lu and Lu Qianqian looked at each other, both feeling puzzled.

Lin Gui never said this, but now that Lin Gui's sister-in-law said so, it means Lin Gui is lying.

"Du Ying, go and call Lin Gui over to me." Old Mrs. Lu said to Du Ying.

"Yes."

Seeing that they were going to call Lin Gui, a trace of guilt flashed in Lin Gui's sister-in-law's eyes, but she felt unhappy when she thought that she could not come to the Lu family to finish the work. The family was so rich, but they were unwilling to help.

The noise here was also heard by Old Man Lu who was working in the fields.

There was a noise at home, so the old man couldn't concentrate on inspecting the fields and came back immediately.

As soon as I got home, I saw Sister Lin Gui and her family being stopped at the gate.

"What's wrong?" Old Man Lu walked up to Old Lady Lu and asked.

Old Mrs. Lu told the old man what happened. After hearing what happened, Old Man Lu’s face darkened.

My second son has just caused so much trouble, which is already upsetting enough, and now there are problems in my eldest son's family again.

Old man Lu was very upset, and when he looked at the Lin family, his eyes were filled with displeasure.

Soon Lu Zhengguo and Lin Gui followed Du Ying over.

Lin Gui didn't expect that her sister-in-law would actually strike back.

When Lin Gui's sister-in-law came to Lin Gui's house with her two sons, Lin Gui said that her younger sister's family did not need anyone for the time being, and she would notify them when they were needed.

At that time, Sister Lin Gui smiled and said that everything was fine and she was still waiting for her news. However, she did not expect that they would come here directly.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Lin Gui was a little unhappy at this time.

Sister-in-law Lin Gui stiffened her neck and said, "What for? Of course I came to ask if they treat you as family members. You enjoy your own life and are unwilling to help your family. I think it's no wonder that the old man and the old lady don't want to live with you. They simply look down on you."
