Lian Shouxin and Lady Zhang both stood up to bid farewell to Old Master Lian.

"Dad, we’ll be going home for now, we’ll come visit you both in a few days."

"Old Fourth, don’t rush off, sit for a while longer, sit for a while longer." Old Master Lian hurriedly rose, while rebuking Lady Zhou, "The children are all here, what are you doing, can’t you stop and chat peacefully?"

Chatter is a phrase often used by the farmstead people of Thirty Mile Camp, equivalent to chatting.

Lady Zhou was just scolding Lian Shouyi and Lady He, seeing Lian Shouxin and his family stand up to leave, at the sound of Old Master Lian’s rebuke, she genuinely held her tongue.

Originally thinking to leave amidst the chaos. Moreover, usually in such situations, Old Master Lian wouldn’t insist on keeping Lian Shouxin, nor would Lady Zhou stop so readily. Today’s situation seems not only Lady Zhou, but even Old Master Lian has things to talk over with Lian Shouxin.

The family exchanged glances. At this time, if they insisted on leaving with an excuse, they could still leave. But Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou had words stuck in their hearts, if not let out now, even after leaving, some mishaps would arise, and they’d not only have to come back to deal with it, but also face who knows what chaos.

Thus, the family sat back down.

Whatever Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou wanted to say, let them speak freely, whether they could agree to it, Lian Manman and family would handle it wisely.

"How’s Zhizhi’s dowry preparation going, if you need things embroidered, Jizu’s wife’s needlework is decent, just let Jizu’s wife lend a hand." Old Master Lian asked with care.

Normally, such words should be spoken by Lady Zhou as the grandmother, but Lady Zhou wouldn’t focus on such matters, so Old Master Lian had to speak.

"Aunt Fourth, whatever needlework is needed, just give it to me." Lady Chiang promptly offered while standing up.

"What we have is mostly done, when there’s more work, I’ll seek you out." Lady Zhang replied.

"Alright." Lady Chiang responded with a smile, then lowered her head, her expression slightly somber. She was a smart person, knowing Lady Zhang’s words showed she wasn’t planning to ask for her help.

From the start, while preparing Lian Zhizhi’s dowry, Lian Manman and family had no intention of asking anyone from the old house for help. One reason was they didn’t need it, another was the old house people couldn’t offer much help. As for needlework, Lady Zhou and Lady Chiang’s skills were excellent. But how could Lady Zhou be willing to do needlework for Lian Zhizhi, naturally they wouldn’t push against this obstacle.

With Lady Chiang, not involving her was due to various considerations. Lady Zhang didn’t treat Lady Chiang like before, that’s one aspect, another critical reason is if Lady Chiang helped embroider things for Lian Zhizhi, it might affect her ability to do other work. Would Lady Zhou be pleased, scolding occasionally, dragging Lian Zhizhi into it, what’s the point?

Lian Zhizhi’s situation is one of celebration, Lian Manman and family didn’t want any trace of discomfort involved.

"...we’re all family, no matter what happens, we handle it better than outsiders. Manman can think of Yeye, Yaya, that shows the sentiment between sisters." Old Master Lian continued.

"Yes, exactly. Manman has grown up under our watch, that child Manman, her looks are good, but her heart is even better." Lady He immediately chimed in with praise.

"Among all the generations of our Old Lian Family’s young ladies, our Manman ranks number one." Lian Shouyi said with a thumbs up.

At this moment, Lian Shouyi and Lady He looked at Lian Manman with the reverence as though they were gazing upon a golden shimmering Buddha statue.

Lian Manman could easily guess what they were thinking, but she was indifferent inside, merely showing a sparse expression.

"Do you even know what time it is, still sitting there, did nails grow on your backside, not cooking, waiting for heaven and earth to serve you?" Lady Zhou, who had been silent, suddenly pointed and scolded Lady He.

Lian Shouyi and Lady He’s words didn’t touch Lian Manman’s heart, but Lady Zhou found them uncomfortable. Generations of young ladies would naturally include her daughters Lian Lanlan and Lian Xiuxiu, if Lian Manman ranked first, where did her daughters sit?

Lady Zhou fancied herself as the lead among Lian Family women, her daughters naturally were more noble than daughters of daughter-in-laws. Now hearing the praise for Lian Manman from Lian Shouyi and Lady He, how could Lady Zhou be pleased?

Lady Zhou scolded Lady He to rinse rice and cook, then turned her gaze onto Lian Shouxin.
