The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206: Chapter 188, The Bun Face Gets Pinched_1

Entering July, the watermelons and grapes in the estates began to ripen one after another.

With last year’s harvest laid out, this year, Madam Li instructed Yan Zhiqiang to plant more than half of the Yan Family’s estates and fields with watermelons.

Currently, watermelons were still quite scarce, and with two older brothers providing sales channels, they could be sold at a good price. She had to seize the opportunity to save a sum of money for the family.

Before August even arrived, both the Yan Family and the Li Family had earned a tidy profit.

Taking advantage of having silver in hand, Madam Li added several more estates and some fields to the family’s holdings—and following behind her, Daohua also bought herself another estate.

By now, Daohua had five estates and three shops in her possession, truly a little rich woman.

Daohua Pavilion.

Daohua sat in the study, flipping through the accounts that had been submitted. Finding that they were recorded in great detail, she called for Wang Manman, “Brother Xiaoliu has been bustling about, running here and there, especially in such hot weather; he has indeed worked hard. Later, you take ten taels of silver over to him.”

Wang Manman nodded with a smile: “Brother Xiaoliu is really fortunate to have met our young lady in his previous life. Not only has he learned a skill, but he has also earned silver.”

Daohua smiled slightly: “That’s also because he is clever and sharp, diligent and capable. If he were a blockhead, I would not dare to employ him either.”

Afterward, Wang Manman cheerily took the silver to find Xiaoliu.

Inside the room, Guyu and Lixia watched with envious expressions.

They had been at the young lady’s courtyard for several months, originally thinking that the young lady, who dared to talk back to even the master, must be a difficult one to serve. Yet, they didn’t expect to find, after arriving, that among the four young ladies of the family, the eldest was the easiest to serve.

As long as they followed the rules and didn’t cause trouble, painstakingly completing the tasks assigned to them, the eldest young lady hardly ever scowled at them or scolded them without cause.

Sometimes, they could even share jokes and laughter.

Having been at Daohua Pavilion for so long, they had been living a relaxed and comfortable life.

The sisters who had been bought at the same time as them and assigned to the other three young ladies were not so lucky.

The second young lady was still okay, a gentle and serene person who rarely punished anyone, but her temperament was too quiet, and the maids by her side often didn’t even dare to speak too loudly;

The third young lady was more doted upon by the master and was somewhat spoiled. Whenever something was not to her liking, she was quick to throw a temper, and her maids had to be careful attending to her every day.

The fourth young lady was the most unrestrained, loved to play and make noise, and lacked a sense of propriety—either getting herself hurt or breaking things, and her maids were always on tenterhooks.

Compared to them, they really were much more fortunate.

Moreover, the eldest young lady was very generous in giving rewards, something the other three young ladies definitely couldn’t match. Look, Xiaoliu completed his task well, and she rewarded him with ten taels outright—that’s nearly as much as two years of their monthly allowance.

It wasn’t long before Wang Manman returned with a smile: “Young lady, I happened to pass by the main courtyard just now, and I ran into Sister Ping Tong. She said that the eldest young master has sent a letter, saying he would return home at the end of the month.”

Daohua’s face brightened with joy: “Really?”

Ever since the start of the year, aside from a visit at the end of February, the three Yan brothers hadn’t been back home, and everyone at home missed them.

“I thought we’d have to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to see the three brothers.”

Wang Manman smiled and said: “The first day of August is the young lady’s birthday, and it would be perfect for the three young masters to come back to celebrate it with you.”

Daohua smiled, her eyes curving: “What birthday celebration? Just eating a bowl of longevity noodles together is good enough,” she said, resting her chin in her hand and sighing, “I’m about to turn eleven.”

…

On the twenty-ninth of July, Yan Wenxiu and his two brothers returned to the Yan Residence, and with them were Xiao Yeyang, Dong Yuanxuan, and Su Hongxin and several others.

To this, Daohua couldn’t say she was surprised, but she still asked politely, “Why have you come as well?”

Xiao Yeyang was fanning himself, tilting his chin upward as he asked, “What, you’re not welcoming us?”
