Wei Ruo flipped through the account book and couldn’t help but show a joyful smile. She was very satisfied with the profits.
Wei Ruo said to the nanny, “Thank you for your hard work, Nanny.”
The nanny quickly waved her hand, “What hard work? I hardly have any chance to do any work these days. It’s all the hired workers who are busy.”
The nanny didn’t feel that these tasks were hard at all.
They were well-fed, warmly clothed, had a nice house to live in, and in the cold weather, they could burn charcoal, making the house warm and cozy. It couldn’t be more comfortable.
Comparing this with the starving and freezing commoners, the nanny felt she couldn’t be happier.
And all of this was thanks to Miss Wei. Without her, the three of them would probably still be back in their old home, starving and freezing, worrying every day about how to fill their stomachs.
“Nanny, take a break for the next few days. Later, I’ll need to trouble you and Uncle Xu to make a trip to the city. The farm there needs to be arranged for planting wheat. I’m not familiar with the people on that farm, and I’m not sure of their abilities, so I’ll need you and Uncle Xu to keep an eye on things for me.”
“Take a break? Tomorrow I’ll have Old man Xu head to the city. The wheat planting can’t be delayed. If we’re too late, the crops won’t grow, and what will we do if we miss the planting season? It would be such a waste to leave the land empty for half a year!”
“Don’t worry. I’ve got it under control. Even if we plant a bit later, it’ll still grow,” Wei Ruo was confident in the seeds provided by her space.
“Even so, it’s better to go a bit earlier. The land for planting wheat needs to be fertilized first. That way, the wheat will grow well. And what if the land on that farm isn’t in good condition? It could take a long time to fertilize.”
As she spoke, the nanny urged Uncle Xu beside her, “Old man Xu, why are you still standing around? Go pack your things.”
“Yes, yes!” Xu Zhushan responded repeatedly, then hurriedly turned back to the house.
“Nanny, you really can rest for a few days. It’s not that urgent,” Wei Ruo tried to persuade.
“There’s nothing to rest for. The two of us aren’t that tired on normal days. Why would we need to take a few days off just to rest? Compared to our old days back home, every day now feels like a rest!”
In the end, Wei Ruo couldn’t convince the nanny and Uncle Xu to take a few days off. Early the next morning, Xu Zhushan took two workers with him and headed to the city.
After two busy days, Wei Ruo received a notice from the Xie family, saying that Mr. Wang had resumed his lectures.
A few days ago, due to the disaster, Mr. Wang had given Wei Ruo and Xie Ying time off. Now that the disaster had passed, it was time to resume classes.
After the evening lesson, Wei Ruo returned to the mansion and went directly to the dining hall.
Today, Wei Mingting was not there. Instead, Wei Jinyi, who rarely joined the family for meals, was present.
Wei Ruo was curious. She walked over to Wei Jinyi and quietly asked, “Second Brother, why did you come to the dining hall today?”
“Mother sent someone to invite me.” Wei Jinyi replied.
Yun Shi actually sent someone specifically to invite Wei Jinyi to the dining hall?
Wei Ruo found the situation a bit odd. The fact that Wei Jinyi had set up a small kitchen in his own courtyard and ate separately had been specially permitted by Wei Mingting. Yun Shi had tolerated this because she didn't particularly care for Wei Jinyi.
