CHAPTER 783: 783 VISITS TO THE DOOR

Zeng Hongling went over to open the box and upon seeing how much there was, she decided to pack them separately into the two boxes she had brought with her. She planned to take back her precious items as well.

She also had a basement, which was very hidden.

"Sixth Brother, let’s take everything back. I have a place to store it. Once we’re home, you can help me, everything I own is stored there."

"Alright, you take your time organizing. I’ll go up front and have a look."

Today was the day to visit the parents’ home. Although she wasn’t working, she still needed to inform Fourth Brother.

Zeng Hongling was organizing her things inside when she heard footsteps outside after a short while.

She put down what she was holding and ran outside, where she saw her brother and Su Yuanyuan happily leading her along.

"Yuanyuan, Yixin, hurry inside and have a seat."

Su Yuanyuan smiled at Zeng Hongling and said, "You seem to be doing well."

"It’s alright, just doesn’t feel like home."

"That’s because you haven’t been here for long. Once some time passes, you’ll feel a sense of belonging."

"Yes, yes. Yuanyuan, I can move back today. My father-in-law is really nice; he said we could come back for dinner on the 30th, and we can return tonight."

Zeng Yixin was pleased with the Yang Family from what his sister said.

At this moment, Yang Liulang also came in. Seeing the already packed items made him smile.

Goodness, so many boxes—luckily there were four of them, otherwise, they might not have been able to bring everything back.

They had strapped everything onto three bicycles, and then they went to inform Yang Jiahui, who also had gifts the Yang Family had prepared to bring back.

"Hongling, stay at home and spend more time with your grandfather."

"Dad, thank you." Zeng Hongling was truly touched.

"It’s alright, go on."

They feared others might think the gifts for the Zeng Family were too much, which was why they decided to load them onto bicycles first.

Despite this, the sisters-in-law were not too pleased.

Now, everything from the Yang Family belonged to everyone.

However, while some might feel unhappy inside, they didn’t dare say anything.

If anything was to go wrong today because of these items, they would surely face repercussions back home.

Zeng Hongling didn’t care about these things; some that weren’t too precious weren’t taken back today. She knew Yang Liulang would return every day to work, and instructed him to take back a little each day to avoid drawing attention.

Upon leaving the Yang Family’s gate, Zeng Hongling’s smile grew even larger.

Su Yuanyuan patted her, asking her not to be so blatant—didn’t she realize her husband was right there? Her disdain for the Yang Family was too obvious.

Yang Liulang wouldn’t mind such things; he knew what kind of person Zeng Hongling was and understood. After all, even if she was married, it was her home now. Still, it was too unfamiliar.

"Yuanyuan, I’ll just keep living at home."

"As long as you’re happy. By the way, I plan to return at the end of January."

Knowing the three of them would follow, she needed to inform them in advance.

"Yuanyuan, I thought you were going to leave after the Lantern Festival. Anyway, the three of us decided to follow you."

"Whatever works. By the way, why don’t you go to the Capital? I called Daoist Zhan the day before yesterday. Those two are really busy over there.

I heard from Daoist Zhan that there are two new recipes to be made.

They might be setting up a new pharmaceutical factory, focusing on pure traditional medicine."

"Is it Daoist Zhan himself? Setting up the factory?"

"No, the state will send people to supervise."

"Yuanyuan, do you think it’s okay if I join as a shareholder with Daoist Zhan?"

"Pretty quick thinking. I think it’s doable. You know how Daoist Zhan is as a person. Just go back and discuss with him directly."

"Yuanyuan, why don’t we all go back to the Capital together? Once things are sorted there, it won’t delay your trip to the seaside.

I just think it’s a great opportunity. The Zeng Family currently has no industries. Building up from the pharmaceutical factory could be a step forward."

It was the first time Yang Liulang truly regarded his wife with respect; he hadn’t expected her to have such a sharp mind.

"Yuanyuan, actually, my family also has some old prescriptions. If we ask my grandfather for them, and since Yixin and Daoist Zhan have learned a lot already, having him in charge of that part would be quite good."

"Why don’t you all discuss it at home? If that’s the case, leave after the New Year. Daoist Zhan and Wei Guangxiang are especially busy now. You going there could really help."

"I’ll go back and discuss it with my grandpa and dad."

Yang Liulang was also quite moved, though this project was something the Yang Family couldn’t really participate in at the moment. However, his wife’s involvement was a good thing.

Hearing his wife’s words made him remember he also had an old prescription book; he decided to look for it tomorrow and have knowledgeable people take a look.

The four of them arrived at the Zeng Family, where Zeng Zhixuan ran out to help.

He missed his daughter dearly after just three days, with a feeling unlike when the siblings had been away for two years. Back then, his daughter was still a daughter of the Zeng Family; now she was a daughter-in-law of the Yang Family.

Their identities being different, he wanted to know how his daughter’s married life was going.

After placing the gifts for returning home, the two big boxes were delivered to Zeng Hongling’s courtyard.

The Zeng Family had a small number of people but plenty of houses, so each had their own courtyard.

Yesterday, Zeng Zhixuan had spent the whole day preparing dishes. Now that his daughter was back, he wanted to head to the kitchen.

"Dad, no need, I can do it. Besides, I can stay until the New Year, and I can return home on the night of the 30th too."

"Your father-in-law is a reasonable person. You must be filial to him in the future."

"I know, Dad. Let’s go inside; there’s something I need to discuss."

Su Yuanyuan knew what they were about to discuss but didn’t go in, as it was a family matter.

"Hongling, I’m going for a walk."

"Yuanyuan, you don’t have to do that." Zeng Hongling knew Su Yuanyuan was being considerate. Actually, there was really nothing to hide in their family.

"I’ll go take a look outside. You guys talk; I’ll definitely be back by noon."

Now the five members of the family sat together in the living room.

Zeng Hongling relayed what Su Yuanyuan had said to the elders of the family.

"Grandpa, Dad, since there’s this opportunity, let’s have Yixin join in too. This can also be considered an investment for our Zeng Family."

Zeng Yaozu nodded. "This is a good thing. Our family was three generations into pharmacy ownership before. There are many prescriptions, Yixin, you take them along.

Will that Daoist Zhan agree?"

Zeng Yixin nodded. "Most likely, and if there really is something valuable in our prescriptions, then it will certainly work."

"Alright, you are all grown up now, so whatever you want to do, you have my support."

Having gotten the elders’ approval, both siblings were quite happy. They were adults now, and just roaming felt inappropriate, so it felt good to have something to do.

"Are you heading directly to the Capital?" Zeng Zhixuan asked.

"Yes, Yuanyuan said if you’re okay with it, we’ll leave right after the New Year. Things are incredibly busy over in the Capital right now."
