Chapter 73, Little Rich Woman
Madam Li dismissed Master Qin, and the news spread throughout the Yan family's backyard in no time.
Daohua had just finished counting the items in the warehouse when Wang Maner came over and told her about this.
"I wonder if Aunt Lin can still get some favor this time?" Daohua curled the corners of her mouth slightly. Last time, Madam Li wanted to dismiss Master Qin, but because of Aunt Lin's whispering, her stepfather suppressed it privately.
This time, her mother was also smart and spread the news first. If the mistress had fired someone, her stepfather would not have stood up to oppose her if he had any sense of propriety.
Sure enough, that evening, Aunt Lin stopped Yan Zhigao directly at the backyard door.
Before Aunt Lin could say anything, Yan Zhigao stopped her with a wave of his hand: "Don't say anything. Since Madam has made her decision, you should just listen carefully. If you are really worried about Master Qin, the worst that can happen is that you can give her some more gifts."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Lin was stunned on the spot. Fortunately, Master Lin came over and pulled her sleeve, which brought her back to her senses.
Yan Zhigao glanced at the Lin siblings and said with a smile, "You two should have a good chat for a while." After that, he turned around and walked towards the main courtyard.
"Master, is he tired of me?" Aunt Lin looked at Yan Zhigao's receding back with tears in her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Master Lin was really angry and anxious: "Sister, you lost your sense of proportion this time!"
Aunt Lin wiped her tears, with a hurt and angry expression on her face: "How did I lose my temper?"
Master Lin sighed, "Sister, what are you trying to do by coming to the Master now? To plead for Master Qin? But Master Qin has already been dismissed by the Madam. If you ask the Master now, you're just putting him in a fight with the Madam. Isn't that obviously embarrassing for him?"
"I..." Aunt Lin paused, "I didn't think so much."
Master Lin understood his sister and knew that she was still angry because the master did not go to see her as soon as he returned. She also wanted to compete with the lady, but things were different now!
"Sister, listen to my advice and stop worrying about Master Qin's affairs."
Aunt Lin looked at Master Lin with dissatisfaction: "Why are you talking like that? Don't forget, she is our cousin. It was because she helped me that the Madam retaliated. Would it be right for me not to help her?"
Master Lin frowned, "What cousin? She's just a relative! Sister, pack your bags and don't worry about this anymore."
Aunt Lin said with a look of reluctance: "But Master Qin has done his best to teach Yishuang and the others over the years. Master, you have to give face to the Buddha."
Master Lin interrupted directly: "But she offended the eldest daughter of the Yan family. For this reason, neither the master nor the lady will use her again."
Aunt Lin's face was furious: "Then in the future, when I look for a teacher, do I still have to consider Yan Yiyi's face?"
Master Lin's eyes flashed: "Don't mention it, it's true."
"you"
Master Lin said, "Sister, I don't mean to argue with you." He looked around and saw that no one was around before he whispered, "Sister, this time the master's promotion is related to the eldest girl. At this moment, no matter how right you are, as long as she doesn't want to, Master Qin can't leave with us."
Aunt Lin was stunned: "How could it be?"
Master Lin: "I don't know the details, but in the future, try to stay away from Miss Yan and don't offend her."
“Heh~”
Aunt Lin sneered, "Should we be afraid of a little girl?"
Master Lin's expression changed. "It's not fear, it's avoidance. We have to wait until this is over before we can make new plans."
After several days of packing, the Yan family finally packed up their gifts, and Yan Zhigao also completed the handover with the new county magistrate.
In mid-February, Yan Zhigao hurriedly took his family to Xingzhou City to take up his post.
Along the way, everyone in the Yan family witnessed the good health of Old Lady Yan.
When her sons and daughters-in-law looked exhausted after riding in the carriage for a long time, the old lady was still in high spirits and enthusiastically discussing the scenery along the way with Daohua.
"Mom, was the farm you took us to see last time really sold?" Daohua made a bowl of oil tea for Mrs. Li, whose face was a little pale.
Having experienced the last trip to the provincial capital, Daohua knew that the people at home were not in good health. Thinking about the bumpy roads, she knew that drinking only tea or rice soup was not very nutritious. After thinking about it, she took out the oil tea she had eaten in her previous life.
Oil tea can not only refresh the mind, but also help digestion and strengthen the stomach. It is also easy to brew, making it perfect for eating while traveling.
Fortunately, she grows a wide variety of crops in her space, otherwise she wouldn't be able to produce this oil tea.
Madam Li took the oil-tea from her daughter and said with a smile, "Of course we have to sell it. Otherwise, who will take care of it? When I bought it, I thought your father would stay in Linyi County. Now he's gone to Xingzhou. It would be the same if I bought it again there."
Daohua nodded, then suddenly rolled her eyes and asked, "Mom, how much does a small farm cost?"
Madam Li looked at Daohua in surprise: "Why are you asking this?"
Old Madam Yan understood Daohua very well. When she heard her question, she nodded her head and said, "Why, are you thinking of saving up a dowry for yourself?"
Daohua shook her head repeatedly: "No, I just want a small farm to grow some food I like to eat." It is not easy to take out the things in the space. It was okay when she was in her hometown. She was the one who took care of the private plot at home, and she had a cover.
But now, there are people everywhere around me, and the things in the space don’t even have a source. It may not be obvious once or twice, but if it happens too many times, it is inevitable that people will find something strange.
Madam Li: "Even the smallest farm costs over a thousand taels of silver. Once I buy the farm, I'll clear a piece of land for you to grow crops on."
"don't want!"
Daohua shook her head and refused: "If that's the case, how can I tell whether something is mine or the family's?"
As soon as these words came out, Old Lady Yan slapped Daohua on the forehead: "What do you mean by yours and mine? Are you trying to draw a clear line between you and your family?"
Daohua rubbed his forehead and said with a gloomy face, "Grandma, I don't mean that. I just want a farm of my own. When I have nothing to do, I can go there to relax and farm. If the farm belongs to my family, can I use it as I please?"
Old Lady Yan glanced at the rice flowers, pondered for a moment, and nodded: "What you said makes sense."
There are many children in the family. They fight over food today and clothes tomorrow. This kind of thing happens often.
I know the granddaughter I raised is very independent. If she were to mix with other grandchildren, I would probably go crazy every day.
Old Lady Yan looked at Madam Li and said, "Eldest Wife, when you visit the farm later, please see if there are any small ones and buy one for Daohua."
Mrs. Li was really stunned. She knew that the old lady doted on her daughter, but she didn't expect her to dote on her so much.
Although the Yan family held official positions, they were not really wealthy, and one thousand taels of silver was a huge expense. When the daughter asked for it, the old lady actually agreed.
To be fair, even as a mother, she couldn't be so decisive.
Madam Li: "Mother, there's no need to spoil Daohua like this. She's just a child, what does she need a farm for? Besides, if I buy her one, what will Yihuan and the others think?"
Old Lady Yan said, "I'll tell them that Daohua doesn't need to pay for the farm. Your daughter has earned enough money in her hometown to buy a small farm. If Yihuan and the others want to make a fuss, let them pay for it themselves."
After saying that, the old lady smiled and touched Daohua's head: "Our Daohua, don't look down on her small size, she is actually a little rich woman."
