The Sun Family’s eyes brightened, “Has there been any progress regarding Big Brother’s promotion?”

Yan Zhiyuan sighed, “It’s hard to say because of the disaster relief, the Imperial Court sent a Prince down here. I heard Big Brother say that this might be his chance. Even though Big Brother’s achievements have been good in the past, without someone speaking for him at the top, they would just get buried.”

“This time, with a Prince sent by the Imperial Court here, as long as his performance stands out, there’s a possibility he’ll be noticed. These days, to settle the refugees, even I’ve been conscripted as a laborer, rushing about everywhere, not knowing whether it will all turn out as hoped.”

Mrs. Sun sighed, “Big Brother’s promotion is too difficult.”

Yan Zhiyuan also sighed, “What else can we do when our family doesn’t have anyone to rely on, and our foundation is weak?”

Mrs. Sun curled her lip, “Your family does have someone to rely on, it’s just that they are unwilling.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhiyuan’s expression darkened, “Shut your mouth. You’d best not talk too much about that. Mother is already not very pleased with you, she would dislike you even more if she knew you were spreading tales about the fourth sister.”

Mrs. Sun was not someone that Old Lady Yan favored; it was Yan Zhiyuan himself who had taken a liking to her. When they married, Old Lady Yan had been very reluctant.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Sun also got a bit angry, “I’m puzzled why the Old Lady could not see my worth? Our family is one of the top families in Chihui Town. How is she not satisfied with me? Am I not better than the eldest sister-in-law who comes from a merchant background?”

Yan Zhiqiang rolled his eyes, “Give it a rest. The eldest sister-in-law is of merchant origin, which may not be very noble, but their family has money. Your family in Chihui Town would at best be considered a small landlord. Who is nobler than who?”

“You…”

Mrs. Sun got furious. Back when Yan Zhigao pursued her, he was just a poor Scholar, and she didn’t despise him for being poor. Now, it seemed he was the one who started to look down on her.

Seeing Mrs. Sun’s face turn ashen, Yan Zhiyuan had no choice but to speak some soothing words, “Alright, don’t be angry. If Mother doesn’t like you, isn’t it because your family didn’t treat the tenant farmers well and caused trouble?”

Mrs. Sun looked aggrieved, “The affairs of the house have always been decided by my father and several brothers. What does that have to do with me?”

Yan Zhiyuan: “It’s precisely because Mother knows about this, she hasn’t troubled you these years, has she? Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Anyway, your family doesn’t see Mother often, and as long as you don’t do something foolish, she won’t bother with you.”
