Chapter 963

With the arrival of Xiaohua and Black Glasses, the two who had originally planned to go down the mountain to buy supplies had to postpone their trip. With two extra laborers, Zhang Qiling meticulously planned out the areas that needed clearing and settled the pair in adjacent courtyards. It wasn't that the house lacked empty rooms; rather, he found the two of them superfluous. Aside from working and eating, he didn't want anyone else anywhere near himself and Qingyue—not even a son. Xiaohua and Black Glasses stayed in the Medicine Valley for five days, rising early and returning late every day alongside Qingyue, feeling a great sense of accomplishment as they watched the piles of cleared weeds grow in the medicinal herb garden.
