Tang Shushui's Pov

Though I loved every moment of warmth that my husband showed to me for the first time, I still remembered to wake up around 4 O'clock in the morning to prepare everything for today. I made 500 fishballs today and added a new broth which was chicken flavored broth to the menu.

Making the noodles was relatively easy for me with the help of the noodle maker all I had to do was knead the dough and add it to the noodle maker and it would make the noodles, and with that, I made three pots of noodles. One was chicken flavored, One was pork-flavored, and one was beef flavored. He stewed some pork belly and chicken just in case people would want meat added to their noodles.

I didn't have any losses, people might think that I'm dumb to make meat-flavored noodles to sell but that is untrue since I did not add any meat. All I did was put meat flavored season in which in any case this world did not have.

I then took the rice paper I bought last time and wrote all of the things that I stall was selling, and their prices. Though most of the sellers and villagers couldn't read, one-third of my customers were either student or town folk which meant they were literate.

After preparing everything for the stall it was already around 7 o'clock in the morning. Today was the first day of school for the kids, the family had a minor discussion and decided to enroll the kids since income was getting more stable. The school year is 750 coins per kid, which means 3 silver taels in total for education.

Haohao was currently bathing the kids while he was doing so I got the new clothes that I sewed for them during those two weeks. Since it was mid-spring he made light clothes for them, but they were beautiful. I made a light pink hanfu for Chu Hua, the top was light pink with the bottom was a darker pink, I made some simple but beautiful patterns so that she won't get bullied. Liu Qiu's was a light blue one with beautiful embroideries embroidered on it. I also made some for the boys because he knew they were bullied by the Tang brats. For Chaoxiang I made a light blue and dark blue one and even added embroideries, for Zhengyun he did the same style and some embroideries but with the color red and white.

He made lunch for them, which was white rice, and braised pork, and stir-fried vegetables. He packed it into the lunch bowls he made and poured berry juice he made into the bamboo water containers he made. He put each of them into the newly sewed backpacks and went back inside.

Haohao has already showered them and was about to prepare them but he told Haohao he would do it. Haohao's pickled vegetables also got very popular since their first day of selling. so he also has to prepare because they will leave the house at 8 o'clock to bring the kids to school and it was already 7 o'clock so Haohao did not argue.

"Okay kids, Gege will prepare you." Said Tang Shushui in a cheerful voice.

"I can prepare myself," Said Chaoxiang with an passive face and went to the pile of clothes that looked like rags.

"Oh, no, no, no! Today is your first day of school so your amazing and thoughtful gege made some new clothes for you." Said Tang Shushui in an exaggerated tone.

All four little heads turned to him and looked at him in bewilderment. After Tang Shuishui showed them the clothes their mouths dropped. How could it not! Even when father Jiang was alive they did not wear these types of clothes. Zhengyun was always poor so he only had 3 sets and they were all rags by now, and Liu Qiu literally used to eat with the animals of the barn, so how could they not be surprised.

"The pink one is for Chu Hua, the blue one is for Liu Qiu, the dark blue one is for Chaoxiang, and the red one is for Zhenyun," Continued Tang Shushui as if he did not see their current state.

"Ahhh! Thank you gege," Chu Hua was the first one to react and directly hugged Tang Shushui.

"Thank you, mommy," Said Liu Qiu in a milky voice.

"Thank you, auntie," Echoed Zhengyun

"Thank you gege," Said Chaoxiang in low voice with a blush on his face as he looked away.

"You're welcome!" Responded Tang Shushui.

He did the girls' hair(He did it the same way in the pics), and then tied the boys' hair into ponytails. He put moisturizer on their face which came from his space but he put all the necessities into bamboo tubes so they would be less suspicious and ask fewer questions. He then applied lotion onto their bodies and sprayed a little perfume on them.

After the kids dressed, they all came outside to eat their breakfast in the living room. The people in the living room were stunned by the appearance of the kids. Though their dress was not over the top, nor was expansive it still would make people look at them twice. The kids looked completely different from before. Haohao was the first one to burst into tears and the rest followed even my husband's eyes glistened.

'Now why in the hell does this look like a funeral? It's supposed to be the kid's first day of school!' Thought Tang Shushui as he sat down to eat his breakfast.

Soon the kids and Tang Shushui, and Haohao finished their breakfast and went inside their rooms to change since they would bring the kids to school. Their husbands would go set up their stall for them. Tang Shushui wore a purple-ish grey hanfu with simple flower embroideries and Haohao wore a light blue one with simple patterns. They were all made by Tang Shushui, and he's currently making second sets for Song Shi's marriage just to piss him off. He also has to make some for the elders.







Their clothes were all women's clothing since gers were considered as female, though you could wear men's clothing it would cause a ton of questions to arise and he doesn't want any problems. He put on some moisturizer and a little bit of sunscreen and then he added lip balm. He also gave some to Haohao. Now they were ready to go.

When they opened the door they saw almost half the village's women and gers in front of their door, and Tand Chan An was the one leading the pack.

"Can somebody please tell me what is going on?" Asked Tang Shushui clearly confused.

"Good morning gege! You know most of the village's kids are unable to afford the high tuition for school so they always see off the kids that go. I was going to bring my cousins but then I remembered that the Jiangs were also sending their kids to school so I came to get you." He said in a manner not to humiliate the poor villagers and for me to be unable to blame him.

"Oh is that so? Then I thank you for your kindness. I thought since we weren't brothers anymore we wouldn't have anything to do with me anymore, but for you to come all the way here to come get me. I thank you for that." I said as I fully opened the door to see many shocked faces staring at my outfit.

"Honey! The kids are ready." Cried Jiang Yanwei from inside the living room completely unaware of the people in front of the door.

"Okay Husband tell Haohao to bring them out," I cried back from outside causing even more shock for the melon-eating crowd.

Tang Chan An's face twisted when he heard the dialect between the husband and wife but soon returned to normal, but Tang Shushui caught everything.

'Is this bitch crazy? How dare he have eyes for my man?' Thought Tang Shushui with murderous intent but his face remained gentle.

"Gege, even though we're not family anymore you could still borrow clothes from my little cousins for the kids you know? It's their first they after school after all." He said with a worried expression. And the little Tang brat's faces immediately formed sneers. Everybody looked at Tang Shushui's new clothes and thought about the rags that the kids wear.

'I didn't think he would be that cruel.' Said a person from the crowd.

'I heard rumors of how selfish he was and I guess it was true.'Echoed another one.

And soon the crowd was full with whispers, they all scorned him and talked down on him but his face never once changed.

"Mommy we're ready." Liu Qiu said in a milky voice which attracted the crowd's attention, then everything went silent. Then the rest of the kids came out one by one each with a brand new hanfu. This was like a slap to the villagers that were talking.

"I didn't ask for help because I didn't need any, but how you're talking is like I should need your help Tang Chang An?" Responded Tang Shushui with a sweet voice.
