The small incident that occurred in the Ye family was not known to Hongji at the factory.
Mrs. Li, along with a maid carrying her son, took a bullock cart to the estate—she was also unaware.
She felt uneasy about going to the estate without her son, as he was still nursing and they did not know when they would return home.
Keeping her son close by seemed safer; her daughters were at home to watch him, but she didn't trust them with her son while they were at school.
In the fields beyond the mountains, she worried about the insects when taking her son.
Their estate seemed to be free of bugs and mosquitoes, and even if there were any, they managed to control them with mosquito repellent.
By evening, Mrs. Li returned home with the maid and her son, the bullock cart filled with freshly picked fruits.
The kitchen used freshly picked fruits and vegetables daily and shared some with the neighbors and also sent some to Mr. Chen before he returned home to share with his family.
