The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83: Chapter 70, Don’t Stir Trouble but Not Afraid of It_l

“Greetings to Lord Prefecture Governor!”

As soon as Yan Zhigao and his entourage reached the gate of Linyi County, the county magistrate came forward to greet them, accompanied by a host of local gentry and rich families, all smiling as if at a festival.

“Hmph!”

From inside the carriage, Yan Wenkai snorted coldly.

Yan Wenxiu immediately glared at him, “How many times have I said to mind your behavior when we’re in public? We can’t help father right now, but we can’t cause him trouble either.”

“Father may have been promoted, but that only means more people are watching him. The competition in the official circles is fierce, and since our Yan Family has a weak foundation, we must be even more cautious and prudent to avoid offending others.”

Yan Wenkai looked unconvinced but still grunted, “I know.”

Daohua heard their conversation, took another glance at those fawning over their stepfather, let down the carriage curtain, sat next to Yan Wenkai, and whispered, “Fourth Brother, who irritated you?”

Yan Wenkai glanced at Yan Wenxiu, and seeing he wasn’t paying attention, whispered, “Among the group outside coming to congratulate our father is the head of the Sun Family. You may not know them, but they have lived in Linyi County generation after generation, and can be considered a longstanding aristocratic family.”

“When father first came here to take office, the Sun Family made things difficult for him. Later, in the county school, I saw the Sun Family head’s grandson bullying other students, so I intervened. In a fit of anger, I ended up fighting them.”

“At that time, father was about to undertake water conservancy construction in the county and needed the support of the Sun Family. In the end, to calm the waters, he took me to the Sun Family to apologize.”

“I wouldn’t have minded apologizing since I was the one who fought, but father himself went to their doorstep, and yet the Sun Family made us wait for over two hours before the head deigned to meet us.”

“Big sister, tell me, isn’t the Sun Family infuriating?” _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}

Daohua nodded solemnly, “Not just infuriating, but also incredibly arrogant.” Making the head of a county wait, the Sun Family sure doesn’t regard others highly.

Seeing Daohua agreeing with his view, Yan Wenkai felt much better. He scanned the scene outside the carriage and disdainfully said, “Now that they see father has been promoted, the Sun Family head is eagerly cozying up, acting like a fawning dog. It’s truly irritating to see.”

“Are you getting more and more excited as you talk?” Yan Wenxiu suddenly spoke up. He knew his fourth brother couldn’t hold his tongue, so he hadn’t stopped him just now. But this guy didn’t know the meaning of restraint, and if he didn’t intervene, he would go on forever.

Yan Wenkai pursed his lips, turned his head, and ignored Yan Wenxiu.

It was then that Daohua spoke, “Big Brother, I think Fourth Brother isn’t wrong. People like the Sun Family are indeed irritating.”

Yan Wenxiu knew it would end this way, replying helplessly, “There are some things we know and that’s enough; there’s no need to speak them aloud.”

Daohua: “But emotions need to be vented, right? It’s painful to bottle them up inside. Besides, Fourth Brother knows where to draw the line, doesn’t he? Isn’t he only saying it in front of us?”

Hearing this, Yan Wenkai immediately nodded vigorously.

He hadn’t said anything outside, so couldn’t he speak his mind with his own family?

Daohua smiled and continued, “I think we should not provoke trouble, but we mustn’t fear it either. Constantly conceding, not only does it bend our own spirit, but it also encourages the wrong behavior.”

“Now that father is the Prefectural Governor, we should also display the demeanor fitting for the sons of a Prefectural Governor. Not to bully the weak, but not to be bullied either.”

She felt that her eldest brother was overly cautious.

It was not a bad thing, but if one’s back is bent too often, it might not straighten again.
