Ms. Xu had not been there the last time, but now she had the opportunity to go as well. She was filled with excitement, even playfully teasing her youngest son who was not even one year old. “You’re so fortunate! Since your birth, you’ve never experienced any hardships. Now, you can accompany us to the provincial city and broaden your horizons!”

Coincidentally, Ms. Yan happened to visit them. As she observed Yang Xiaoni, Taotao, and Chunyu engaged in an enthusiastic discussion, envy couldn’t help but creep into her heart.

Having never been to the provincial city before, Ms. Yan desired to join them.

She had heard from Taotao and the others about the liveliness and enjoyment one experienced upon returning to the provincial city, and her longing grew stronger.

“When will I have the chance to go?” she wondered.

Yang Xiaoni giggled and inquired, “Sister-in-law, is there anything you would like to purchase? Should I bring it back for you?”

Ms. Yan smiled and replied, “Absolutely!”

After some deliberation, Ms. Yan began counting on her fingers. “I need some face cream. Please get me two—no, five portions. One for my mother and two for my sisters-in-law. Fifth Sister-in-law, please help me select ones that are both effective and reasonably priced. Also, add two packets of silk thread. The silk threads available in the provincial city are finer and come in a wider range of colors. Additionally, buy me three or four pairs of exquisite silk flowers, and the current fashion favors ordinary gingham cloth for clothing. Bring me five of those as well—two for the elderly couple and four for the younger one. If you come across any delectable snacks or stir-fried preserves, please bring some back for me…”

Yang Xiaoni tallied the items on her fingers and smiled in agreement. “Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you. With Fifth Sister-in-law’s good taste, I’m confident she’ll choose the most suitable ones for you!”

Ms. Yan nodded, her smile widening. “Absolutely!”

Curiosity got the better of Yang Xiaoni, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Are you buying so many clothes for your father-in-law and mother-in-law?”

Ms. Yan pursed her lips and whispered under her breath, “Give it to them? I don’t mind spending so much money, but certain individuals are simply unworthy. I bought those for my own parents. Initially, I was considering not bringing them home if Third Sister-in-law told anyone about it, but I’ll take them to my parents’ house instead…”

Yang Xiaoni was aware of the recent events concerning the second branch of the family. Additionally, she had experienced mistreatment from her own family in the past, so she could empathize with the situation. Letting out a sigh, she remarked, “You’re right! There are all kinds of people. Some individuals simply don’t deserve to be cherished! Fortunately, your family is capable and can handle any situation without fear.”

Ms. Yan smiled and exchanged a knowing glance with Qiao Xuan.

If it weren’t for Fifth Sister-in-law, their family wouldn’t be in such a favorable position now. She would always remember this kindness.

Having purchased the food, Ms. Yan intended to keep what she needed for herself. Ms. Niu wouldn’t dare to s.n.a.t.c.h the food from her own family; at most, they would share it.

Besides the dividends, her husband’s monthly salary had reached seven liang. The couple deducted two liang and saved the remaining five.

With money in their hands, they didn’t have to rely on anyone to fulfill their needs. Naturally, they had no fear of unreasonable demands from their mother-in-law.

Not only her husband and second brother, but Shao Meiling’s husband and father-in-law also worked at the Yan family’s bean production workshop, earning two liang each month.

There was no justification for her to be unjustly treated.

After discussing their shopping plans, Ms. Yan exchanged a meaningful look with Qiao Xuan, conveying her intentions. Qiao Xuan called her over with a smile, and they began conversing under the shade of the loquat tree in the yard.
