When Lian Man'er heard Xiaoqi say this, her eyes couldn't help but widen. How could Chen Qian have such a complaint? This is really strange.

"Brother, do you know what's going on?" Lian Man'er asked Wulang. He didn't meet Chen Qian much these days when he came to the capital city. She was still very concerned about Chen Xiaopang.

"I really don't know this." Goro shook his head, "It should be related to some family affairs of the Shen family. I observed it carefully. The Shen family seemed to be very evasive about the topics of the master, the eldest wife and Xiaojiu. I didn't ask much."

"The eldest wife is Xiaojiu's biological mother, right?" Lian Man'er asked.

"Yes." Goro nodded.

"In the past, I always thought that Xiaojiu and Liuye, Chen Jin were born to the same mother. Look at how good their relationship was when they were together." Lian Man'er whispered, "It was only when I saw the eldest wife this time that I realized it."

She used to think that Chen Xiaopang had no mother. I remember the first time she saw Chen Xiaopang was at the house of Doctor Shi. After that, Chen Xiaopang always seemed to follow Shen Liu, like a small tail.

The eldest wife Shi is the Xuxian. Based on Shen Liu's age, there should be a big age gap between Shi and the master of the Shen family. Chen Qian, as their biological son, should also be the only son of Shi. He is so young, so he should always be with him.

The relationship between Shi and Shen Qian seems to be a little strange.

Lian Man'er felt that it was not just because of the above reasons. When Chen Qian was with her, he never mentioned his parents, and Chen Qian gave her the feeling that he was a child without a biological mother.

Lian Man'er couldn't figure it out and had to let go of this matter temporarily.

In this era, because of the relatively backward medical and hygiene levels, men were better, but many women could not pass the birth rate. Or because of other diseases, many people died at a young age. This often left behind a widower and one or several children.

A family, whether it is a commoner or aristocratic family, cannot be without housewives. Therefore, things like re-singing are very common. Therefore, compared to the era of Lian Man'er's previous life, many members of many families are more complicated in this year.

People are very afraid of talking about these things on the surface, because from the perspective of the family, whether they are biological or not, they are all family members, and they must be like biological, without distinction or disconnection. This way they can be harmonious and cohesive. People are afraid of talking about this kind of thing, and they are also afraid of others asking for help.

This is true for ordinary families, and even more so for rich families.

It is okay to do a little test or indirectly attack the Shen family, but if they refuse to say it, they must not ask in detail. After practicing Lian Man'er, they will naturally understand this truth.

"Hey, isn't the relationship between mother and son in a wealthy family just like this?" Lian Man'er sighed.

When the child was born, there were a large group of nurses, girls, and mothers. The mothers never took care of themselves, so maybe they were a little bit together? But Shi only had such a son, so she wouldn't do this. Maybe she was busy with other things, and was exhausted, so she neglected Chen Xiaopang? But how much Shi had, it seemed that she was not taking care of the Shen family's internal affairs.

"It shouldn't be." Goro said as he seemed to think for a while, before he lowered his voice and said a few words to Lian Man'er.

Lian Man'er's eyes widened in surprise.

"I heard a few words by chance, and I guess it's the case, but I don't know if it's true or not." Goro said again, "If you have more interactions in the future, you will always know."

Lian Man'er nodded and came to her senses for a while.

After the family had snacks, they all got up and wanted to rest when they saw it was getting late. Xiaoqi naturally followed Zhang Shi and Lian Man'er and had to rest in the backyard.

"That, Xiaoqi," Zhang suddenly stopped Xiaoqi, "You can rest with your brother in the study tonight. Then, Mr. Chu said that you would learn your homework..."

Even Man'er and Xiaoqi were a little surprised. What happened to Zhang today? She actually chased Xiaoqi. Usually, she tried every means to coax Xiaoqi to sleep with her.

Although Xiaoqi was surprised, she did not bother Zhang, but agreed obediently and went to the study with Wulang. Even Man'er naturally didn't say anything. Xiaoqi gradually grew older, and Lian Shouxin and Zhang were naturally trying to carry Xiaoqi with some things, which is also human nature.

Lian Man'er went back to the room, washed up, and then lay down to sleep. The light on her side had just turned off, and the light on the east room was also turned off.

In the east room, Lian Shouxin and Zhang lie in the quilt with their lights turned off. The couple opened their eyes and turned back and forth several times. Finally, the two of them face to face, looked at each other for a while, and spoke almost at the same time.

"...It's always good for us,... Sometimes, that's simply too good. One horse and two horse-raising people are a gift. Why do I feel a little..."

"You may not see it, I saw it... Look at our Man'er's eyes are different, my heart..., this is a good thing or a bad thing..."

"I have no choice of talents. If we can find someone like this in the future, we don't say that it's just like this. If there is only 50% or 60% of this, that's about it. Man'er is smart and has an idea. Find someone more honest. Generally, she can give up on her and live a stable life... This is so high..."

...

The next day, Lian Man'er got up early and saw Lian Shouxin and Zhang at the dinner table, and was shocked. Lian Shouxin and Zhang and his wife had two pairs of panda eyes.

"Dad, mom..." Lian Man'er wanted to ask why they didn't sleep well last night, but they swallowed it back when they were on their lips. Perhaps, the couple did some more exercises that were beneficial to physical and mental health last night? It would be embarrassing if they were asked by their daughter.

Thinking of this, Lian Man'er's words turned a corner.

"Dad, mom, what are our arrangements today?"

When it comes to arrangements, there are naturally some, and there are many more.

In the next few days, the family became busy again, and there were many banquets and social events. The most important thing was that Lian Shouxin and Wuro prepared gifts and visited Mr. Chu with Mr. Qu. Things went smoothly. Mr. Qu admired Kaiming School very much. Two friends asked him to ask him. He readily agreed to be a teacher in the school and agreed to get up and go to Sanshiliyingzi after the date.

In addition, the family also bought a small farmhouse fifteen miles outside the city. The farmhouse has high-quality fields, a medium-sized farmhouse, and wasteland and mixed woods. The family looked at the farmhouse carefully and made a general plan. In addition to planting crops, it still had the original terrain. It also planned to open a vegetable garden, a fish pond, a lotus pond, a pig farm, a duck farm, a chicken farm, etc.

It is estimated that in the future, the production in this small village will not only be enough to supply the household use of Shundefang and Songshu Hutong in the city, but will also have a lot of surplus.

...

After the Lantern Festival, Shen Liu stayed in the city for two days. On the third day, he set off back to the military camp in the border city. Lian Shouxin, Wulang and Xiaoqi went to see him off, and Zhang and Lian Man'er stayed at home. In two days, they would also go back to Sanshiliyingzi. The mother and daughter planned to buy something, but were afraid that something would fall by then, so after assigning the family business in the small hall, they asked someone to come over with paper and pen and make a list first.

Because I was not in a hurry, the mother and daughter chatted while slowly making lists.

Lian Shouxin, when Goro and Xiaoqi came back, Lian Man'er just finished the list.

"...The people have left? Are you sending them out of the city?" Zhang asked while seeing that the three of them were back.

Lian Shouxin nodded, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He just glanced at Lian Man'er quickly, then lowered his head to have tea.

"I have something to do later. Please help me find a dress." Lian Shouxin didn't care whether the tea was hot or not. After drinking a few sips, he stood up and signaled Zhang to go to the backyard with him.

"What's wrong with our father? Why did he change his face and color?" After Lian Shouxin and Zhang's couple went out to the backyard, Lian Man'er asked Wulang and Xiaoqi, "What's wrong?"

"No." Xiaoqi said, "But our father seems to be really worried."

"Nothing happened." Goro said affirmatively.

"Have you two been with our father all the time?" Lian Man'er asked. Although he was an official, Lian Shuxin, honest and not very good at speaking, and he was even less accustomed to the officialdom. Lian Man'er was worried about what he suffered or what he was angry about outside.

"My brother and I have been together with our father. We first met Master Six, and then we followed everyone to send Master Six out of the city, and then we came back." Xiaoqi recalled and said all the itineraries just now.

"Ah!" Halfway through, Xiaoqi seemed to remember something suddenly, "Sixth Master asked our father to talk for a while, but he didn't let our brother and I follow him."

It was impossible that Shen Liu was so angry that Lian Shouxin was overwhelmed, Lian Man'er thought.

"Just this one, think about it again." Lian Man'er said.

"That's all." Xiaoqi touched his head and said.

Lian Man'er looked at Goro, who was looking thoughtful at this time.

"Brother, why don't you speak?"

"Ah." Goro came to his senses, "Justice is right."

"But our father's expression was wrong." Lian Man'er was still not relieved.

"It should be fine." Goro thought about it and said, "Man'er, you are too worried. Even if there is something wrong, it's also the business of our father and our mother."

Zhang had secretly seen the doctor and even boiled medicine. As for what he was doing, it was self-evident. I don’t know what Lian Shouxin and Zhang were thinking, so I must hide this matter from a few children.

Even Man'er and the others understood it in their hearts, so they pretended not to know it.

When Goro said this, Lian Man'er naturally thought about this matter and felt that what Goro said was very likely, so she didn't ask again.

When Lian Shouxin and Zhang returned from the backyard, Lian Shouxin's expression had returned to normal.
