The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Chapter 95, Gesture with Finger and Hand_l

Xiao Yeyang’s sudden visit brought about significant changes to the Yan

Family.

For starters, Yan Zhigao was no longer as busy at the Prefectural Governor’s Office, and the funds for the river embankment construction were approved a few days later. The officials there no longer gave lip service as before;

Secondly, Madam Li received more invitations and visiting cards. Even Daohua received several invitations from officials’ daughters. However, she attended none of them and turned them all down.

By July, the watermelons in the farmstead were ripe and ready to sell. She was very busy.

In the city, Madam Li had purchased a shop. At this moment, that shop had begun to sell watermelons and business was booming.

There was no helping it. The Yan Family’s watermelons were large, juicy, sweet, and had a red flesh. Once cut open and displayed at the shop entrance, they immediately attracted a crowd of people.

It was also during this time that the Yan Family truly realized Daohua’s ability to make money and no longer believed that she had bought that small farmstead only because of the financial support from Old Madam Yan.

Songhe Courtyard.

Daohua, as she had back home, settled and recorded accounts in front of the

old lady, her handiwork with the abacus was extremely smooth.

Watching her granddaughter, who never seemed to lose her smile, Old Madam

Yan shook her head with a chuckle and said to Madam Li, “Look how happy this girl is. I never realized that our Daohua was such a money-grubber.”

Daohua looked up, “That’s because our expenses were low before. The produce from our fields not only covered our expenses but also had surplus. We lived comfortably and didn’t need to fuss over money.”

“But now, with our household expenses being so large and money tight, this income from selling watermelons means we can breathe a bit easier. Naturally,

I am happy.”

Madam Li felt very relieved hearing this. Her daughter, so young, was already taking burdens off her shoulders, not only sharing her worries but also directly solving them.

Over the years, she too had her share of concerns about money, which she had managed to bear alone through haphazard means.

This year, with her husband’s promotion to Prefectural Governor, she knew that the financial strain would be greater than before. She had prepared herself to brazenly ask for help from her older and younger brothers when necessary. But to her surprise, her daughter’s watermelons had quickly solved an urgent matter.

Madam Li watched Daohua, who was bent over the accounts with curved eyes and brows, feeling warmth in her heart.

This girl was too considerate.

“Mother, the watermelons are selling too well in the city. When Second Uncle arrives, the watermelons we transport to the provincial capital won’t be as plentiful as we first thought,” Daohua suddenly said.

Madam Li laughed, “That’s alright. Your Second Uncle is also coming over to check on us. He’ll take whatever watermelon he can. The prices in the provincial capital are surely higher than in the city, he won’t be at a loss.” Daohua nodded. She had been concerned about not being able to sell the watermelons, so she specifically asked her mother to write to her uncles for help. Now, with her uncles taking on the task, she felt truly apologetic about the limited supply.

“I won’t sell the watermelons from my farmstead. Apart from some that 111 keep to give away, I’ll let Second Uncle take the rest.

Madam Li had no objections: “The farmstead is yours; you can do whatever you want with it.”

Old Madam Yan sat on the side, munching on grapes delivered from the farmstead, and spoke up, “You also grew quite a few grapes on the farmstead. What do you plan to do with them?”

“The grape yield is too small. I only grew some in the yards of the farmstead, and I don’t plan to sell them. We’ll either eat them ourselves or give them away. Oh, and I’m thinking about learning how to make wine from grapes,” Daohua replied.
