The introduction of the herb arrangement improved the atmosphere, fostering a sense of camaraderie with the third branch family for the future.

The news of a 100 copper coins assisting fee suddenly heightened everyone’s excitement. A hundred copper coins represented more than half a month’s earnings for someone working outside. With that amount, it was practically a small fortune, and anyone unwilling to participate would seem impractical.

“I’m in!”

“Danqiu, count me in.”

Enthusiastic shouts erupted from the villagers.

The Land Officer found himself pushed forward.

Old Man Yan seethed with anger at the thought of someone else receiving that much money.

“You’re useless. Always squandering money. If you need help, why not call a few aunts instead of paying an outsider a hundred copper coins? Don’t you understand the principle of not letting the benefits of one’s own work go to others?” Old Man Yan promptly took responsibility for the eldest and second son’s families.

“We agreed that you wouldn’t interfere in our family matters, so we dared not invite you,” Gu Chaoyan responded candidly.

The villagers echoed their discontent. “Exactly. You’re the quickest to sever ties.”

“Danqiu, ignore him. Choose us.”

“Alright, the seven of you will do. My mother isn’t in the best health, and my sisters are still young, so we’ll need your assistance. Let’s meet at our house tomorrow morning to discuss,” Gu Chaoyan stated with a smile.

She managed the situation diplomatically, avoiding offending anyone.

The selected individuals were pleased with the arrangement. What more could they ask for?

After the others left, only the Land Officer and Old Man Yan remained. Gu Chaoyan politely asked them to leave, stating, “It’s getting late, and we need to rest. You can go back now. Join us for the banquet when the time comes.”

With that, she closed the door, feeling a sense of relief.

“Sister, you’re amazing!” Danxia exclaimed in admiration.

“As long as we don’t cause any trouble, and don’t worry, nothing will happen,” Gu Chaoyan replied casually.

Danxia understood her sister’s approach, so there was no need for further discussion.

Ms. Wang also expressed happiness at the prospect of a better future.

Instead of taking a break, Gu Chaoyan remained seated. “After the banquet, it will be time to start the planting process. Hiring people is a concern.”

“…”

“I’m thinking that Tian Jiu still has two brothers. The Tian family still has hunting to do, but we can assign one of them to take care of the fields. We can find a few suitable individuals in the village and have Tian Jiu’s brother oversee them.”

“…”

“Our main goal is to venture into the shops in Luo City.”

“….”

“Fight for it. We can establish a good shop for Danxia and Dandong before they get married.”

Gu Chaoyan was planning ahead.

Danxia and Dandong were slightly taken aback. “We won’t get married. We’ll stay with Sister and Mother.”

“Hahaha, there are women who choose not to get married. Don’t worry about me. With Tian Jiu here and your frequent visits, I’ll be content,” Ms. Wang reassured.

Danxia and Dandong weren’t rebellious.

“Alright, let’s take a break for now. The cook will be here tomorrow morning.”

“Okay.”

Everyone dispersed to get some rest.

Gu Chaoyan smiled, sensing that things were progressing well, and her mood naturally lifted.

The following morning, everyone assembled promptly.

With a meal at a rate of 100 copper coins, no one dared to be tardy.

Gu Chaoyan discussed with them the menu, what ingredients to purchase, and the quantities needed.

She intended to handle the shopping herself; if she wanted things done right, she would have to depend on these individuals.

This time…

Gu Chaoyan brought Tian Jiu along. As a young boy, he needed to broaden his experiences and see more of the world.
