Chapter 526: Little Li's Children Are Overflowing!

ore a cloak of dark red silk.He was naturally cheerful, always with a smile on his face and looking full of energy.The rest, namely Lu Cong and Jia Xu, were also well-dressed and exuded an extraordina...Everyone was startled at first, but when they saw that it was Shui Ling jumping out with a grin, they felt relieved.

Jiarren guessed that these people were brought by his sister, after all, only his sister could call upon Yèshān and Shuiling at home.

As expected, before Jia Ren and the others could ask, Shui Ling quickly spoke up: "Young Master, Miss told us to return to Zhengjiazhuang and help the Young Masters find some people..."

Those who got out of the car earlier consisted of five young men, about teenagers in age, and one man in his thirties. They all wore rough-spun short clothes, looking neat and capable, clearly skilled in martial arts.

They knew that the Li brothers before them were their future masters, so they all bowed and paid their respects.

Jia Ren was nearby, so he reached out and helped the man in his thirties up. Then he beckoned, "From now on, we're all family. Don't be shy, come inside and talk."

After finishing his words, he led his younger brothers in first, followed by Shui Ling and Ye Shan and the others.

Li Laotai, Tao Hongying, and Zhao Yuru were doing needlework in the main hall, hoping to make two more pairs of shoes for Jia An and Jia Xi before they went out.

Traveling by boat, you are surrounded by water everywhere. Your clothes and shoes inevitably get wet from time to time.

Besides clothing, wet socks and shoes are the most uncomfortable. They can also lead to illness. It's best to bring several pairs of spare socks and shoes.

Jia Yi shouldn't be left out either, and Liu Yang also needs to be looked after. The chubby boy from Liu's family has just learned to crawl and is at the mischievous stage. Liu's wife still has to take care of the business in the hot springs valley, she really doesn't have the time to manage her eldest son...

Jia Yin, having learned a few days of sewing, was also helping out.

It's a pity, she was afraid of hurting her hand with the scissors, and couldn't sew the insole because she wasn't strong enough. In the end, she could only help by pasting the insole.

So-called "glue shoes" is to use the scraps of cloth and old fabric accumulated at home, glued together layer by layer with glue. After drying, they become hard and solid.

Thicker soles for shoes, thinner ones for shoe uppers.

Actually, with Li Family's current circumstances, they don't really need to be this frugal. But they've grown accustomed to hard times, and even after becoming wealthy, they still can't bring themselves to spend lavishly.

The scraps of fabric and old clothes at home are a pity to throw away.

Instead of throwing it away, why not make shoes out of it Even when you step on it, you can't tell if it's beautiful or ugly.

Those kids are just too mischievous! Even with good quality fabric, their shoes don't last long. Either the big toe pokes out of the hole or the heel wears through…

Jia Yin sat on the tatami mat, meticulously applying glue and sticking patches of cloth. It was rare to see her so patient.

"My daughter Fu Niu'er is so smart," Zhao Yu ru praised. "She learned it right away and did such a good job! She was born a girl, otherwise if she were a boy, she would probably be competing with Jia Ren for the top scholar!"

Li Laotai beamed with delight, "That's right! Only a few days of studying, and Huiniang says that even Fu Niuer recognizes ordinary characters."

Grandma He chimed in, smiling, “The few books that the Second Master bought back, Miss has read most of them already, and remembers them clearly! This morning, Young Master Jia'an and Young Master Jiaxi mistakenly said a passage from an anecdote, it was Miss who helped to correct them.”

Zhao Yuru sighed, "These two boys have really wasted all those good things they've been given. They've studied for so long and are still not as insightful as little Fu Niuer who just started learning! Send them away quickly, send them to the seaside to fish. Maybe after a few days of hard work, they'll finally open their minds!"

Old Mrs. Li made no secret of her disdain for her two grandsons. "Everyone says that eating more fish can improve brain function," she said, "But these two... they'd have to dive into the ocean and eat all the fish there before they get any smarter."

Everyone burst into laughter, but when they looked up, a group of people rushed in through the door.

Tao Hong's needle almost pricked her hand, and she had to hurry to protect her mother-in-law and daughter.

Only when she saw that it was Jiaren and his companions walking ahead did she feel relieved.

"Ah, you're back!" she cried with joy, springing to her feet and rushing to the door. "Uncle Da Shan!"

Yejia smiled and nodded, replying to the previous question: "Yes, miss, all the staff have been selected. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Only then did Li Laotai and Tao Hongying realize that it was the little girl who had been pulling the strings behind the scenes again.

Tao Hongying knocked her daughter's head and said angrily, "What have you been up to again If something happens, just let the family know in advance. You scared your grandmother! Just wait till I give you a good beating!"

Elder Li hurriedly hugged her granddaughter and scolded, “I’m not made of paper, so I’m not that easily frightened! Besides, our Funiu is doing this for her brothers. She's worried about them going out, so she secretly arranged people to help them, isn't that right”

Jia Yin kissed her grandmother and said triumphantly, "Grandma still understands me the best. I asked Da Shan and Shui Ling to return to Zhengjiazhuang and find some reliable people to protect my brothers."

Although Zhao Yuru pretended to dislike her son for being naughty and foolish, she cared about him more than anyone. Hearing this from her niece now, she was overjoyed.

She didn't know where Zhengjiazhuang was located or what it was like. She only knew that Shuiling, Shuiyun, Zhengfeng, and Zhenghe all came from Zhengjiazhuang. They were quick-witted and intelligent, and they were all skilled in martial arts.

But she knew that with such a person around her son, at least half her worries would be eased!

Zhao Yuru hurriedly urged Luo Zhu, "Put things away, let everyone go into the house and rest for a bit, have some tea."

Grandma He and Shui Yun worked quickly, tidying up all the tables and chairs in no time.

At this time, Li Lao'er heard the news and returned from the valley.

Everyone took their places, the chairs in the room soon proving insufficient for all. The guests from Zhengjiazhuang stood on either side of the doorway.

Ye Shan replied, "Madam, Master, Miss, I found six able-bodied men from Zhengjiazhuang. Besides Young Master Jiayi, the other young masters were all suitable and one for each."

"Miss specially instructed to find a slightly older attendant for the young master, so I found Zheng Sanjiang, the younger brother of the head of the manor. He used to travel often and was familiar with the various families in Xin Du. He also worked with Ye Tong and Ye Guanli before, making him the most suitable choice for the young master."

Having said that, Zheng Sanjiang stepped forward and bowed to greet them. He was tall, but not particularly muscular; one could even say he was alarmingly thin.

Not only that, although he was polite and respectful in his demeanor, there was always a lifeless quality in his eyes...

Dead air

Jia Yin frowned slightly, but Ye Shan was not a reckless person. There must be a reason for this.

This can't be asked right now, but it definitely needs to be cleared up later!

Li Laotai perhaps didn't notice and said to Zheng Sanjiang, "You child, why are you so thin Is something bothering you Let me ask Zhang Shini to take a look at you tonight. Eat more in the future and recover slowly."

"Everything else in our house is fine, but the food is exceptional. Look at Shui Ling, Shui Yun, Zheng Feng, and Zheng He – they've only been here for a short time and have already put on weight!"

Having said that, she motioned for Jiahren to come forward and instructed, "In your daily routine at the academy, if you have anything to ask Sijang, don't delay his mealtime, understand"

"Understood, Grandma." Jiarren nodded in response and then bowed to Zheng Sanjiang: "Uncle Sanjiang, I'll take you to find a divine doctor later."

"Thank you... Young Master!" Zheng Sanjiang raised his head, looked at Jia Ren seriously, and then bowed his head again in thanks.mI think you should still ask clearly if he really needs it, and have someone else say it. Otherwise, you might do more harm than good, and it could also affect your relationship."Of course," the thir...
