Lady Lixu swallowed the pastry in her mouth and said gratefully, "Thank you so much for looking out for our family. Otherwise, I don't know how worried I would be!"
"We are in-laws; it's only right that we help each other."
Lady Lixu felt very reassured upon hearing this, "Rest assured, my in-law, with so many people in our family, we will definitely take good care of the land."
With the abundant crops from the land, they could get a bigger share. It was just a pity that even with many hands, their labor was still limited. With sixty acres of land, they could at most take care of twenty acres themselves; any more than that would be too much. But even with just twenty acres, they could make more than a dozen taels of silver a year!
Zhulan said, "We've always been confident in how our in-laws handle things. In the future, we'll have to rely on you even more to take care of the fields and the house."
