Chapter 14 Arrangement
Yu Laoer's worries were not a problem at all for Pan Yingying.

"Don't worry, second brother. My mother's side has made arrangements." She had just made plans. Her three sisters-in-law would be responsible for collecting chicken and duck eggs. Her three brothers were good hunters, so she would also collect the wild animals they caught, because the system also collects wild animals.

Yu Chaosheng had no objection to anything she said. Before he traveled through time, Pan Yingying basically did all his work for him. He only needed to sign the contract and keep the peace when discussing cooperation with others.

Early the next morning, Pan Yingying packed two large bags and went to Panjiaao with Yu Chaosheng.

This was her first time "returning to her parents' home" since she came here.

Pan Yingying's parents' home is located at the very edge of Panjiaao, similar to Yu Chaosheng's home, far away from the crowd. Therefore, they didn't meet many people when they came, but they did make a lot of money through the system along the way.

Pan Yingying took out 50 copper coins and wrapped them into five red envelopes with red paper, preparing to give them to her five nephews. As for Old Man Pan and Mrs. Zhao, she prepared two taels of silver as a filial gift for each of them.

Both of them were dressed in new clothes today. When they arrived outside the Pan family's house, they happened to meet three older nephews who were cleaning the door. When the three half-grown boys saw them, they almost didn't dare to recognize them.

Pan Yingying wore a light red dress, had her hair tied up in a simple bun, a small pearl flower and a white jade hairpin on her head, and pearl earrings on her ears, looking like a rich girl from somewhere.

Yu Chaosheng was wearing a bamboo green gown and had a white jade hairpin on his head, the same one as Pan Yingying's. As he had gained some weight recently, he looked even more dashing. If you ignored the two large bags in his hands, he looked like a young master from a wealthy family.

Pan Dajin's eldest son Pan Li shouted and rushed over like the wind, "Aunt! Is that you? Aunt! You're finally back!"

The remaining Pan Yi and Pan Lian also ran over, calling "Auntie" repeatedly.

There are three boys. The oldest one, Pan Li, is 15 years old this year, dark and thin. Pan Yi is one year younger than him, just turned 14, and Pan Lian is even younger, only 12 years old.

Pan Li and Pan Yi are the sons of Pan Dajin, Pan Lian is the only son of Pan Dayin, the second wife. Pan Datie’s twins Pan Zhong and Pan Xiao, who are 10 years old this year, also ran out from the yard when they heard the noise.

Pan Yingying had a smile on her face. She took out red envelopes from her purse and gave one to each person.

Pan Li refused to accept it and said, "Buy flowers for my sister-in-law to wear."

Pan Yi looked at the red envelope, then looked at the other four brothers, and seeing that they were unwilling to accept them, he had no choice but to pretend to be unwilling to accept the red envelope.

Pan Yingying had to put on a stern face and said, "Put it away quickly, or I'll beat you up!"

The boys then accepted the red envelopes, surrounded Pan Yingying and went into the yard, forgetting about their uncle Yu Chaosheng.

Yu Chaosheng was a little unhappy. Usually when he came over, the boys would look as unhappy as donkeys, but now they were all smiling like chrysanthemums. They really knew how to treat them differently.

The whole family rushed out of the house. Zhao ran out of the room. Her eyes became red when she saw Pan Yingying. Her precious daughter finally came back to see her.

"Mom..." Pan Yingying opened her mouth and tears rolled out uncontrollably.

Zhao didn't react at all. She just ran over and hugged the person, which scared Yu Chaosheng who was next to her.

Wow! The tigress is crying. Is this the sun rising from the west?

Old Man Pan ran back from the vegetable field at the back, holding a handful of grass in his hand. Pan Yingying looked over and called out "Dad" crisply. "Hey, I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back." Old Man Pan raised his hand to wipe his eyes, then turned to face Yu Chaosheng, who looked confused.

He wanted to find fault with his son-in-law, but when he saw his daughter's clothes, especially the golden bracelet on her wrist, he knew she was living a good life. He could only smack his lips and invite Yu Chaosheng into the house to rest.

Yu Chaosheng thought that someone had finally seen him, and hurriedly followed his father-in-law into the house and put the two large bundles on the table.

Pan Yingying greeted her brothers and sisters-in-law one by one, then took Zhao's arm and walked into the main room.

After opening the bundle, Pan Yingying began to distribute gifts. The three sisters-in-law each received a piece of fine cotton cloth with floral patterns that could be used to make a set of clothes, the three brothers received cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles, and the five nephews each received a big bag of snacks and candies. The rest were things for the whole family, such food as braised duck, braised meat, sausages, noodles and so on.

The breakfast was not very sumptuous. The Pan family ate wild vegetable porridge and mixed flour steamed buns in the morning. Zhao took the initiative to cut out some of the braised food that Pan Yingying brought.

Neither Yu Chaosheng nor Pan Yingying are picky eaters, and they still enjoy the wild vegetable porridge and multi-grain steamed buns.

After breakfast, they talked about collecting eggs and wild animals, and then Pan Yingying and her friend sat for a while and prepared to leave.

They are not going to set up the stall today, as they have to go up the mountain in the afternoon.

Before leaving, Zhao took Pan Yingying into the house and took out her own money from the box of clothes, a total of two taels of silver, which was the gift that Yu Chaosheng had given her before.

"Here, don't starve yourself at home."

Pan Yingying's heart warmed up, and she walked over and hugged the old lady's waist, "Mom, you are so good to me."

Zhao was very happy that her little daughter was so close to her. She smiled and narrowed her eyes into slits. "Mother only has you as her daughter. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"

Pan Yingying hugged her and acted coquettishly for a while, confiscated her silver, and took out two ten-liang silver ingots.

When Zhao took out her own money to give to her, she temporarily changed the two taels of filial piety she had prepared into ten taels.

"Mother, I don't lack money now. Your daughter can earn money now. You should be well at home. I will come back to see you when I have time." Pan Yingying forced the silver ingot into Zhao's hand and said to her in a low voice, "It's not peaceful outside. Mother, take the silver and stock up as much rice as possible."

Zhao's face turned stern, "What do you mean?"

Pan Yingying was not in a position to speak of her and Yu Chaosheng's speculation, so she just vaguely said, "Chaosheng and I are doing business in town. We heard that there is unrest in the north, and there are refugees and disasters. Besides, the price of food has risen so much now, so it's always a good idea to stock up more. It's best to buy an ox cart to be prepared."

She was not talking nonsense. When she was selling braised food, she heard some customers mention that some refugees rushed into Baiyun County, burned, killed, looted, and occupied the land as their own.

Baiyun County and Anping County where they live are only separated by two county towns.

She and Yu Chaosheng had planned to take their families away when necessary, so she came up with the idea last night so that everyone in the village could have some income.

Zhao was shocked, but she managed to remain calm. She knew about the increase in grain prices and had complained to her three wives before. She was no longer polite to Pan Yingying and only whispered, "Stock up more rice over there."
