The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66: Chapter 57, Differential Treatment_l

In the sixteenth year of Yongxing, that Spring Festival was the worst New Year the Yan Family ever had.

Originally, with the arrival of Old Madam Yan and the third branch of the family, this should have been the most complete year for the Yan Family, but from the end of the year to the beginning of the New Year, a somber and oppressive atmosphere enveloped the household.

With Old Madam Yan holding the highest status in the family and Madam Li in charge of the finances feeling discontent, no one else could find it in themselves to be cheerful even if they wished to.

In dealing with outsiders, Madam Li paid close attention to keeping up appearances for the sake of the Yan Family’s reputation, and she prepared all sorts of New Year items thoroughly, but when it came to things for the Yan Family’s own use, she became perfunctory.

In previous years during the New Year, Madam Li would distribute gifts to each branch of the family, but this year, not to mention gifts, even food, necessities, and clothing were not prepared, with many items being bought by the servants on a daily basis.

However, during the New Year period, most shops were closed, so there was not much that could be bought.

It would be odd if they could have a pleasant celebration under these circumstances!

It was only then that everyone realized that the usually virtuous and compliant Madam Li could also be formidable, and that previously, nobody had crossed her bottom line, so she had not bothered.

Now that Daohua had arrived, she had drawn her line clearly.

By acting so blatantly and ungraciously this time, Madam Li was signaling to everyone in the Yan Family that her daughter was her bottom line, and if anyone caused her daughter any displeasure, they would all feel the consequences.

On New Year’s Eve.

The New Year’s Eve dinner prepared by the Yan Family was very ordinary, just some common chicken, duck, fish, and meat dishes.

In the past, no matter how busy she was, Madam Li would prepare a few special or delicate dishes, but this year, there was none of that.

Although nobody showed it outwardly, they were all disappointed in their hearts.

Even though the Yan Family was the family of the County Magistrate, their daily food, clothing, and expenses were only slightly better than the average household, so everyone, both adults and children, looked forward to having better meals during the New Year.

Shuangxin Courtyard.

Madam Lin stood alone at the entrance of the courtyard, her eyes unwilling to part from Yan Zhigao who was leaving with Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}
