The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Chapter 72, Tidying Up_l

Yan Zhigao ended up not going to Shuangxin Courtyard to see Concubine Lin. He only sent Madam Li to call a doctor to check on her and, after learning her illness was nothing serious, he stopped inquiring and focused solely on the handover matters.

Second branch of the family.

Madam Sun was busy with Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile packing their luggage while Yan Zhiyuan and his son Yan Wenjie sat aside watching. The atmosphere in the family was harmonious and warm.

“Mother, why do we have so much stuff?” Yan Yile saw Madam Sun constantly taking things out of the house, many of which she had never seen before, and couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

Madam Sun smiled, “These are your mother’s dowry.” She glanced at Yan Zhiyuan and said with pride, “If you really count it up, my dowry is no less than your aunt’s.”

No matter what, the Sun Family was a well-known local landlord. Being the favored one at home, her parents didn’t skimp on her dowry when she got

married.

Yan Yile’s eyes lit up, “Really?”

Yan Zhiyuan put down his teacup and said irritably, “Really what?”

Madam Sun was not pleased, “Isn’t it true? When elder sister-in-law married into the Yan Family, they carried in thirty-six sedan chairs of dowry. When I entered the family later, didn’t the Sun Family prepare thirty-six as well?”

Yan Zhiyuan shook his head, “You always like to compete over everything. Sure, the number of sedan chairs was the same, but was the content the same? I’ve seen elder sister-in-law’s dowry, each one was packed full and heavy. Was yours like that?”

Upon hearing this, Madam Sun deflated, and with the Li Family of her sister-in-law compared to her own Sun Family, they might have had more land, but in terms of money, they really couldn’t compare. However, the usually proud Madam Sun retorted.

“At least it’s better than the third brother’s wife’s, right?”

Yan Zhiyuan said, “You’re really regressing, comparing yourself to the third brother’s wife? They are tenant farmers, and your family are landlords. How can you compare like that? Aren’t you embarrassed?

Madam Sun wanted to rebuttal but found no words to counter with, and instead, she returned to packing in silence.

Yan Zhiyuan did not continue. In front of the children, he still needed to save face for his wife.

Yan Wenjie gave Yan Yile a look, signaling her to change the subject.

Thinking quickly, Yan Yile found a topic and said with a smile, “Yesterday, eldest uncle didn’t go to see Concubine Lin, and the twins were crying.

Madam Sun immediately dropped the previous matter and laughed, “That Concubine Lin usually seems smart, but what she did yesterday was really foolish. Didn’t she think, on the first day elder brother came back, how could he possibly visit her? Even if she wanted to compete for favor, she should’ve waited a bit longer!”

Yan Zhiyuan also scoffed, “Some people, when spoiled too much, then forget their status. Even if elder brother didn’t care about other things, he still had to consider Wentao and the younger ones.”

Speaking of which, Yan Zhiyuan’s expression paused, and he looked at Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile, “In the future, the two of you should get close to Daohua, understood?”

Yan Yihuan obediently nodded while Yan Yile looked a bit unhappy.

Madam Sun stopped her work and asked, “My husband, I seem to have heard that elder brother’s promotion this time has something to do with that girl

Daohua?”

Yan Zhiyuan nodded, “I don’t know the specifics. Elder brother didn’t say, but elder brother’s promotion indeed has some connection with Daohua. I’ve said it long ago; that girl is not simple.”

How could someone be so arrogant without any backing? Initially, he thought his niece relied on the grandmother, but now it seemed that she relied on

herself!

Madam Sun’s eyes flickered uncertainly, “Mother always says Daohua is a lucky star. Could it be true? The year she was born, elder brother was successful in the imperial examination; not long after moving from the countryside to the county city, elder brother got promoted.”

Yan Zhiyuan’s expression wavered, but then he shook his head, “Alright, say less of such things. Elder brother’s promotion is mainly because of his own

abilities.”

Madam Sun nodded, and without another word, continued packing.

Third branch of the family.
