Chapter 106: Dinner before departure

"Grandpa, the Emperor has bestowed upon me a princess's residence, and I plan to move to the capital..." Back home, Wen Yuxia told Wen Dashan about her plans.

The mansion in the south of the city was left to Wen Dashan, the house in the village was for Grandpa Wen and his wife to live in, and the five mu of vegetable garden in the mansion in the south of the city could be used to grow vegetables all year round, with the income from the vegetable garden belonging to Wen Dashan.

Thinking about the rent he received each month, Wen Dashan felt that one shouldn't be too greedy, so he waved his hand and said, "You've already bought me the shop, so keep the income from the vegetable garden for yourself!"

Wen Yuxia said with a faint smile, "Grandpa, please take this. From now on, I'll be in the capital and won't be able to take care of things at home. You'll still have to pay for my eldest and third cousins' tuition and living expenses."

The income from the greenhouse vegetables went to Wen Dashan, and Wen Yunhai's expenses were also covered by Wen Dashan. Wen Yuxia was free of worries and could focus on developing her career in Beijing. This was the outcome she wanted.

Wen Dashan repeatedly declined, but Wen Yuxia insisted on her own opinion. In the end, Wen Dashan compromised and agreed to settle in the southern part of the city, using the income from the greenhouse vegetables to pay for his two grandsons' school expenses.

"Old woman, tell Yang, the second son, and the third son that Daya is going to the capital. Tell them to come over for dinner tomorrow night."

Since severing ties with the Lin family, Wen Dashan was no longer as hostile towards the Wen Lin family. Judging from their way of addressing each other, Wen Yuxia could tell that the two got along well.

She produced Wen Linshi's indenture and household registration, and after obtaining Wen Dashan's consent, tore up the indenture and handed the household registration to Wen Dashan.

Wen Linshi, who had run to her son's house to inform him that he would be coming over for dinner the next day, returned to find that her indenture had been torn up and that Wen Dashan was preparing to transfer her household registration to Xinghua Village. She was extremely excited.

Recently, her relationship with Wen Dashan has become much closer, but the existence of the indenture makes her feel that she is still separated from her family.

Now that the contract of servitude was over, she cried tears of joy and choked out, "Thank you, thank you, thank you for still accepting me!"

Wen Yuxia said softly, "Let bygones be bygones. As people, we should look forward. Let's live a good life with Grandpa and manage this family well from now on!"

Wen Lin quickly stated that apart from her family, no one else was related to her, and that she only wanted to be good to her husband, children, and grandchildren for the rest of her life.

In order to maintain Wen Yuxia's dignity and the dignity of the Wen family, Wen Dashan went to great lengths to repair his relationship with Wen Linshi. Now that his goal has been achieved, he calmly said, "Alright, go cook!"

The next day, Zhang and Hua went to town to sell food, but Yang didn't go. She went to Wen Dashan's house early in the morning to help Old Mrs. Wen and Wen Lin prepare the big dinner that evening.

The Wen brothers also arrived. Last night, Wen Linshi told them to come and slaughter a sheep this morning. The brothers pulled the sheep out of the pen, sharpening their knives, ready to kill the goats.

When Wen Yuxia came down from the mountain, she saw the shaved goat hanging on the jujube tree in the yard, and Wen Zibai was gutting it.

"Hehe, we're having mutton tonight!" It's been so long since she's had mutton. Seeing the slaughtered goat, Wen Yuxia felt a craving for mutton soup.

Wen Dashan said lovingly, "Every winter, Xiao Qi clamors to have a sheep slaughtered and eaten mutton. He's not here this year, so eat more."

Actually, the sheep was slaughtered for the Lunar New Year. Since Wen Yuxia and her brother wouldn't be returning to Xinghua Village for the New Year this year, Wen Dashan had his two sons slaughter it ahead of time.

The ewe we brought back from Wen Yuxia's house years ago gave birth again and again; all the goats in the pen were her offspring.

Wen Dashan couldn't bear to kill the meritorious ewe and its mate, so he kept the two sheep separately in a sheepfold, intending to let them live out their natural lives.

Wen Dashan didn't sell the goats he raised. He would slaughter a few each year and share them with Wen Yuxia, Yang Shi, Wen Zibai, and Wen Zihua to enjoy. As for the goats that Yang Shi and the others raised, Wen Dashan told them to take them to town to exchange for money.

In the years since settling in Xinghua Village, Wen Dashan has taken good care of Yang Shi, Wen Zibai, and Wen Zihua, always considering their needs.

“Dad, there are more and more sheep in the backyard. If you leave, Grandpa might not be able to feed them all,” Wen Zihua said while cleaning the sheep's internal organs.

Each year, a dozen or so lambs are born, but no more than five adult goats are slaughtered. Wen Dashan's sheepfold has been expanded again and again, and now there are more than fifty goats in the pen.

When these goats were taken to town, the restaurants there couldn't handle the demand. Wen Dashan suddenly felt a headache coming on. He said regretfully, "I couldn't bear to sell them before, but now I can't sell them. What am I going to do?"

Wen Yuxia smiled and said, "Grandpa, how many do you want to sell? I'll help you sell them."

Wen Dashan couldn't handle these sheep, but she had plenty of ways to manage them. She sent them to the farm to be raised, and also asked Steward Li to open a mutton restaurant in the county town.

After careful consideration, Wen Dashan left three goats (one male and two females) for his father, while he took the two oldest goats to the county town to retire. The remaining fifty goats and lambs were all sold.

"Da Ya, I don't want the money from selling the goat. Divide it into four parts: one for you, one for Yang Shi, one for the second son, and one for the third son," Wen Dashan said.

Wen Yuxia wasn't short of money, but this was Wen Dashan's gesture of goodwill towards his children and grandchildren, and she couldn't refuse, so she readily agreed.

He then whispered to Bei San to go to the village and inform the three village heads to come and take the sheep.

A bowl of mutton soup that evening eased the sadness of parting, and the family's joyful songs, "Clatter, clatter..." filled the night sky.

On a whim, Wen Yuxia started dancing in the square, and Wen Yunhai and the others awkwardly followed behind her, singing and imitating her moves.

While drinking, Wen Dashan said to his two sons beside him, "After I go to the city, your sister-in-law and the family's fields will be in your hands. I'll come back to help during the busy farming season..."

Turning to Grandpa Wen, he said, "Dad, keep the produce from the fields for your own use, and I'll buy you clothes for all four seasons..."

Grandpa Wen knew he had no say in the family. Since Wen Dashan hadn't invited him to live in the county town, he and his wife had no choice but to stay in Xinghua Village.

Fortunately, Wen Dashan still cared about his father. He let Wen Zibai and his brother help with the farm work, and kept the harvest for himself and his wife.

Even though he's practically buried up to his neck, it's good for him to stay in the village, chatting with his old friends and having a few drinks every day.

Grandpa Wen said calmly, "Second son, you have to come back to see me with the children every month when they come back to the village for their holidays."

Wen Dashan nodded: "Okay, I'll come back to see you."

After leaving Xinghua Village, Wen Dashan no longer cared whether Old Man Wen and his wife would give their grain to Wen Zihua, so he didn't mention Wen Zihua at all.
