The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Chapter 261, Commendation_1

Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, one obtained a Medical Book and the other a Martial Arts Manual, were both in very high spirits, and upon returning to the Xing Courtyard, everyone could feel their joy.

Yan Wenkai looked at the two and laughed, saying, “Did you find money?”

Daohua and Xiao Yeyang exchanged a glance, smiled, and said nothing.

Yan Wenkai wanted to ask more, but Xiao Yeyang intercepted him, “You all tidy up a bit, we’ll be able to return to Zhongzhou in the next couple of days.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s attention shifted.

Daohua took the opportunity to slip away, and Dong Yuanyao followed, grabbing her arm, “What are you and Little Prince being so secretive about? What exactly did you do?”

Daohua didn’t hide anything and laughed, “Do you remember the two old people I saved before?”

Dong Yuanyao nodded, “It would be hard not to remember those two, what happened to them?”

Daohua raised the Medical Book in her hand, “They gave Xiao Yeyang and me each a book.”

Dong Yuanyao quickly asked, “What kind of book?”>

Daohua laughed, “Mine is a Medical Book, as for Xiao Yeyang’s… if you want to know, you’ll have to ask him yourself.”

Upon hearing this, Dong Yuanyao didn’t press further but simply said, “There are still many grateful people in this day and age.” The two old people were like this, and so was the young man who helped by the river before.

Daohua nodded, “Isn’t that the truth!”

Dong Yuanyao tilted her head and looked at Daohua with a smile in her eyes.

Among the young ladies she knew, there were those who were flashy and arrogant, and those who were quiet and dignified, but none lived as vividly and spontaneously as Yan Yiyi.

This spontaneity wasn’t reckless; it stemmed from her own abilities.

Seeing Dong Yuanyao staring at her, Daohua asked in confusion, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Dong Yuanyao smiled, “I was reminded of something my mother once told me. She said, only those with abilities can live life according to their own wishes.” Pausing, she looked at Daohua, “I think you’re quite capable.”

Daohua owned her own farm and shops, and when giving out porridge, she managed to bring in more than ten boats’ worth of grain, all without consulting anyone; she could tame water, save people, and receive their gratitude and reciprocity.

Hearing this, Daohua immediately laughed, her eyes curving into crescents: “Are you praising me?” After speaking, she touched her face and lowered her head, giggling shyly, “You’re making me feel embarrassed.”

Seeing this, Dong Yuanyao’s lips twitched, “Don’t be coy, it’s really hard on the eyes.”

The smile on Daohua’s face disappeared instantly as she rolled her eyes, “Boring.”

Dong Yuanyao retorted, “I’m not a man, I can’t appreciate it.”

Daohua huffed, “Even if you were a man, you wouldn’t be able to see it.”

When Dong Yuanyao thought about Daohua’s attitude towards her brothers, she burst out laughing, then said with relief, “We can finally go home soon, just thinking about it makes me happy.”

“Right!”

“I’m telling you, this is the first time I’ve been away from home for so long.”

“I heard you sneaked out without telling your family. Aren’t you afraid you’ll be scolded when you return?”

“Yan Yiyi, at such a happy moment, do you have to dampen my spirits?”

“I didn’t mean to,” Yiyi replied, “I just wanted to remind you to think of a way now, so you won’t be locked up in the backyard unable to come out when you get back.”

Dong Yuanyao’s face fell, and she sighed, “There’s no way out of it, this trip must have driven my father and mother insane with worry, even my grandmother, upon learning that my brother and I were trapped in Xingyun Prefecture, rushed over from Beijing. After getting home, a beating is definitely inevitable for me.”

Daohua, although sympathetic, had a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth: “Luckily, when I left, I had informed the elders in the family.”

Dong Yuanyao was not having it: “Yan Yiyi, you’re reveling in someone else’s misfortune!” With that, she tried to grab Daohua.

Daohua wasn’t waiting to be caught and quickly ran towards the courtyard, shouting as she ran, “Dong Yuanyao, I hope you’re still this spirited after you get home.”

…

Two days later, Daohua and her companions finally boarded the ship bound for Zhongzhou.

On the ship, Dong Yuanxuan, Yan Wenxiu, Zhou Chengye, and others all wore expressions of relief, realizing that they had nearly been unable to make their return.
