The next day, Hongji and his wife were each busy arranging things, even Mrs. Li made a trip back to her maiden home.
The couple didn't know when they would return home before or after the New Year, so they arranged what needed to be done, and entrusted some matters to trustworthy people.
Mrs. Li returned to her maiden home in the morning. Over the years, through investment and managing estates with her elder brother and younger brother, their family didn't split up.

This made them become the rich man of the countryside!
The family became prosperous, and the elders and daughters-in-law lived separately; the children of the two sons, when grown enough, lived separately in their own yards, and hired help to work.
