Is this the power of an official’s wife?
The villagers were puzzled. It turns out that when a person's status and position increase, his aura will also change!
Since Liu moved to her new home, she rarely appeared in front of the villagers.
When they were still in the old house, Liu would at least carry a wooden basin out to wash clothes every morning.
After moving to the new house, she no longer had to go out to wash clothes because there was a well in the new house. Unless there was something special, she would not be seen by Liu.
So in the minds of the villagers, the impression of Liu still remains from a long time ago.
It is precisely because we have not seen each other for such a long time that seeing her now has such a great impact.
Liu was forced to go out for a walk, and when she came back she slumped in the chair like a deflated ball.
"Madam, you can't act like this in public."
The governess disapproved of Liu's uncouth sitting manner.
However, although she did not agree, she did not stop Liu.
Home is a place for people to relax. It is too much to ask people to be polite all the time at home.
"I understand, Ma'am." Liu replied weakly.
Her negative state lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and after a quarter of an hour she turned into a dignified official wife again.
The governess said that the reason she felt tired was because she was not used to it. Once she got used to it, it would become natural and she would not have to pretend to be dignified.
"Today is much better than yesterday. Keep up the good work." The governess encouraged.
After hearing this, Liu's tiredness disappeared a lot.
Because we live in the countryside, we can’t do a lot of practical work, so Liu’s courses are mostly theoretical.
Liu was also a smart person. Theoretical knowledge was not difficult for her and she learned quickly.
So the nanny tried to find some scenarios for her to practice.
Going out for a walk every day is part of the practical training.
It's not that I'm just wandering around aimlessly, I'm here with a mission.
First of all, Liu had to dress herself up and dress according to the instructions of the nanny, and then she had to control her posture and expression...
After Liu had tidied herself, she would walk out with the trained pace and stroll around the village with the demeanor of a government official's wife.
This was a practical exercise specially arranged by the governess according to the venue, in order to train Liu's courage.
"If you're timid in front of people you know, what are you going to do when you face people of the same level or higher than you?
For the sake of your husband and children, you must exercise your courage. If courage doesn't work, then exercise your thick skin."
These are the words of the governess.
To this end, Liu works hard to overcome difficulties every day.
"Mom really works so hard." Lin Shiyu, who was passing by, sighed.
Then she was also pulled over by the governess for training.
Lin Shiyu joined in with a smile, but within a moment someone came to find her.
"Mother and nanny, I have something to do and I'll leave first." Lin Shiyu waved with a smile.
"She escaped again." The nanny complained to Liu.
Liu pretended not to hear.
This family is supported by the daughter. The nanny only says a few words behind her back at most, and she really doesn't dare to say anything to Lin Shiyu in person.
The nanny was also very perceptive. Although Liu hadn't explained it, she knew it clearly.
Time suddenly came to the end of August.
Lin Anru's second letter home arrived at this time, along with some local specialties he bought.
"What did San'er say in the letter?"
The two elders of the Lin family who received the news rushed over to inquire.
"He said everything was fine and that we didn't need to worry about him." Liu said concisely.
Upon hearing this, the two elders immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
All of their children were around except Lin Anru, so it was normal for them to be worried.
In the past few years, Lin Anru often went far away to study, but after all, he was still in his hometown and knew his exact location, so they were not so worried.
"An Ru also had someone bring back a lot of things. I'll have Boyu take them to the old house later."
Mrs. Lin complained, "She's already grown up, but she doesn't know how to save money when she's away from home. We have everything we need at home, so why would she have to travel thousands of miles to ask someone to bring us things?"
Liu listened to the two elders' complaints with a smile.
They said that their son was not good, but their eyes could not deceive people, and they were very happy at the moment.
"Anru also wrote down his current address. Shiyu will get some common medicines and have someone bring them to him later. Does Dad and Mom have anything for Anru? If so, please bring it to him as well."
The two elders didn't bother to complain and hurried home to look for something they could bring back for their son.
Although they were eager to get home, they would stop when they met other villagers on the roadside and show off that Lin Anru had brought them gifts.
So, in less than half a day, everyone knew that Lin Anru's second letter had arrived home.
This time the villagers were not as excited as last time. Anyone with common sense knew that this was just a letter from Lin Anru to his family, not some big good news.
So they just complimented the two elders of the Lin family when they showed off and left it at that.
After the two elders of the Lin family left, the smile on Liu's face faded.
After being married for more than ten years, Liu knew Lin Anru's personality very well.
The letter didn't say anything, it only picked out good things to say, which only proved that Lin Anru was not having a good time over there.
He didn't want to worry his family, so he didn't write about the difficulties there.
"Since you don't want everyone to worry, I'll just pretend I don't know!"
Liu muttered to herself.
Since that day, Liu has become more motivated to study.
Without her husband, she could not help at all.
So she studied hard and tried to go to her husband's side as soon as possible to help him.
Lin Shiyu knew that her father was having a hard time there.
She knew it without even reading the letter.
Except for new officials with outstanding abilities or strong backgrounds, all others will have a hard time without exception.
This is the path her father wants to take. As a daughter and an outsider, she can't do much to help.
At most, it would make him more money and reduce some obstacles on the road.
After spending several days, Lin Shiyu prepared some Chinese patent medicines that might be used, and had someone send them all to Lin Anru.
I also sent over the money I had recently earned.
Their family's biggest source of income is the ointment produced in cooperation with Mr. Hong, followed by the income from Lin Shiyu's medical treatment, and finally the herbal medicine workshop in the village.
Lin Shiyu didn't count the scattered income, such as the harvest from the fields, the share of Uncle Lin's youngest son's rice noodle stall...
Liu has been learning needlework recently and specially made a set of clothes and a pair of shoes for Lin Anru.
