After entering the room, Madam Li took her three children to their seats, and the maids served tea before retreating to the side.

“Big brother, what are you doing with that case?” _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

Seeing Yan Wenxiu holding a case in his hands, Daohua couldn’t help but ask.

Yan Wenxiu smiled and said, “While I was strolling around the provincial capital, I passed by a pharmacy and saw this case of fine tremella. I thought I’d buy it and bring it back to nourish Mother’s health.” As he spoke, he smiled and stepped forward to place the case on the table next to Madam Li.

Madam Li was first surprised, then her face bloomed with joy as she opened the case, looking at the white, translucent tremella that resembled blooming chrysanthemums, feeling truly gratified.

This was the first time her eldest son had been so considerate toward her!

“That’s great, big brother. I was wondering why you left us behind that day. It turns out you went to buy tremella for Mother. Why didn’t you call me along? I could have also bought something for Mother.”

Yan Wenkai muttered discontentedly.

Yan Wenxiu glanced at him askew, “Do you have any silver on you?”

Yan Wenkai choked, and suddenly fell silent.

He was one who couldn’t hold on to silver, spending his monthly allowance completely every time. Sometimes, he even needed to ask his third brother and eldest brother for help.

Seeing her second son balk, Madam Li smiled, “Mother knows your filial intentions. Right now, all of you are still studying, and there’s no need for such extravagance. Keep your allowances for yourselves; Mother has everything she needs here.”

Daohua sat next to Madam Li and disagreed, “Mother, this is the thoughtfulness of our brothers. How can it be considered an extravagance? You always worry about our brothers’ well-being, and when they find good things outside, they think of bringing them back for you. Isn’t that what they should do? Why would you reject their kindness?”

Traditional parents are like that, genuinely delighted by their children’s gestures of respect, yet they always appear as if they don’t need them. After many such instances, if the children start to believe it, they will stop bringing gifts.

Human affection requires interaction.

Even if a gift is light, knowing that someone is thinking of you is always a joy.

It cannot be that one side only knows how to take while the other side gives unconditionally. People are not saints, and over time, feelings are bound to become imbalanced, which only causes unnecessary trouble.

It’s better to happily accept the goodwill of others from the start and then reciprocate to the best of one’s ability.

Madam Li tapped Daohua on the forehead, “You girl, always full of twisted reasoning.”

Daohua glared, “What twisted reasoning? Shouldn’t we encourage filial behavior? Are you not pleased with the tremella big brother brought?”

Madam Li smiled and gave her daughter a meaningful look, this time choosing not to say more.

After sitting for a while, Daohua returned to her own courtyard.

Her courtyard had expanded a lot, with a layout similar to that of the Prefectural Governor’s Office, but it had several more osmanthus trees.

Daohua looked around at the rooms. Lixia hadn’t accompanied her to the provincial capital, so the arrangement inside was done according to her instructions, almost exactly as she had ordered before.

Daohua nodded in satisfaction, seeing nothing that needed changing, she returned to the main house.

“Go and call Brother Xiaoliu over, I have something to ask him.”

Wang Manman glanced at the sky; it was already midafternoon, “Now? Miss, wouldn’t you like to rest a bit first?”

Daohua shook her head, “I need to quickly understand the situation in Ningmen Prefecture. If there’s suitable farmland or estates to buy, we must do it quickly or we might miss this year’s spring farming.”

Wang Manman nodded and quickly turned to leave.

After a short while, Xiaoliu arrived.

Before Daohua went to the provincial capital, she had specifically instructed Xiaoliu to inquire about the situation in Ningmen Prefecture as soon as he arrived.
