The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 89

Chapter 89: Chapter 76, Enter Space !

The responsibilities for the manor were thus distributed, and while most accepted their lot, knowing the chances of getting their own courtyard were slim, Yan Yishuang couldn’t help but lament the stark difference before and after, frequently seeking out Auntie Lin’s comfort with her tears.

This situation could also be blamed on Auntie Lin herself, who had overestimated her importance. Indeed, in Yan Zhigao’s eyes, she held a certain status and was indeed favored by him.

However, she forgot that she was but a concubine, one who had made no contributions to the Yan Family.

She wished for her children to enjoy the same treatment as the legitimate eldest son and daughter of the Yan Family. Not to mention whether Madam Li would agree to such a thing, the second branch would vehemently oppose it.

The children of the second and third branches, after all, were legitimate descendants of the Yan Family and surely deserved more nobility than those bom of a concubine?

Yan Wenjie and his siblings didn’t even have their own courtyards, so it was even less likely for Yan Yishuang and her siblings.

“Mother, as the older sister, it is only right for me to dwell in the mam house.

Why should we yield it to Yan Yishuang?”

In the second branch’s courtyard, Yan Yile was packing her belongings and complaining to Sun Family with dissatisfaction.

Madam Li had allocated a large courtyard to Yan Yihuan, Yan Yishuang, and Yan Yile. It had three main rooms and three rooms each on the left and right wings, providing exactly three rooms for each of them.

But the three of them disagreed on who should reside in the main house and who in the wing rooms.

In truth, only Yan Yile was dissatisfied, as Yan Yihuan, who was always disinclined to compete, had no particular opinion on where to live.

Sun Family tapped her youngest daughter’s head and said, “Keep these thoughts to yourself. Right now, your eldest uncle and his wife are in charge of the Yan Family. We from the second and third branches are dependent on the main branch for a living, and in some matters, we inevitably have to give way to them.”

Hearing this, Yan Yile became sullen and sighed an aged sigh, “Why isn’t it my father who is the Lord Prefecture Governor?”

Sun Family also sighed, “Isn’t that the truth!” Over the years, she had often envied her sister-in-law, the wife of an official; alas, her fate was not as fortunate as hers.

Yan Yile snorted, “Here we are, squabbling over the main house, while that Yishuang looks down on it!”

Sun Family gave a mocking smile, “Auntie Lin is getting more and more oblivious to her true weight these days. Not even my son has his own private courtyard, yet she, a mere concubine, dares to demand one!”

Yan Yile said, “At least my elder brother and sister have it good. They got their own courtyards without lifting a finger. Why couldn’t I have been born a few years earlier?”

Looking at her daughter, Sun Family thought to herself that even if you were born earlier, you likely wouldn’t have had a part in this, for who could you blame for not having a father who was an official?

During this period, Yan Zhigao was busy familiarizing himself with the workings of the Prefectural Governor’s Office and taking over the affairs of Xingzhou; Madam Li, while managing the domestic matters, also needed to make connections with the wives of officials in Xingzhou. Both were so preoccupied that they had no time to deal with the ruckus caused by Auntie Lin and her daughter, even if they wanted to.

In the end, Auntie Lin and her daughter compromised and obediently moved into their new quarters.

Daohua didn’t know and didn’t care how it went for the others. Once she had her own courtyard, her attention was fully devoted to arranging it, particularly the trellised corridor and flower garden on the east side.

“Manman, go ask your third brother if he has found the climbing plants I asked him to look for?”
