The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94: Chapter 81, Private Property_i

After the feast, the Yan Family’s life in Xingzhou gradually got onto the right track.

Yan Wenxiu’s boys were arranged by Yan Zhigao to attend the State School; Daohua and her sisters, unable to find a teacher yet, were only able to review their previous books at home for the time being.

One day, after Daohua had practiced writing characters for a good half-hour, she was about to take out her embroidery frame to practice needlework when she saw Ping Xiao enter the courtyard with a smile.

Eldest miss, the madam is looking for you!”

Daohua quickly set down the embroidery frame and asked with a puzzled look, “Why is mother looking for me at this time?”

Ping Xiao said with a smile, “It’s good news. I heard that Young Master Yan Zhiqiang has taken a liking to some properties, and now he’s discussing it with the Old Madam and madam.”

Upon hearing this, Daohua immediately became interested and hurried towards Songhe Courtyard.

Songhe Courtyard.

Yan Zhiqiang handed two land deeds to the Yan Family’s Old Madam, then said, “Following the instructions of my eldest sister-in-law, I have purchased a large estate and a small one, both of which are quite close to each other.” “The large estate covers five hundred acres, of which three hundred are paddy fields and two hundred are dry fields, with twenty-one tenant farmer households.”

The small estate covers two hundred acres, with a hundred acres each of paddy and dry fields, plus a deserted mountain, and there are ten tenant farmer households.”

After carefully examining the land deeds, the Yan Family’s Old Madam passed them to the Madam Li next to her, “Eldest daughter-in-law, keep these deeds safe.”

Seeing that the Old Madam gave them without any reluctance, Madam Li accepted the deeds with a smile and looked towards Yan Zhiqiang, “Did you manage to plant crops on both estates this spring?”

Yan Zhiqiang nodded, “They’re all planted. I carefully observed, and the tenant farmers at both estates are not the cheating type; they care about the fields and cultivate them attentively.”

Madam Li: “That’s good to hear; I was worried that the newly acquired estates could miss the spring planting. From now on, we’ll have to trouble my third brother-in-law to keep a closer watch over the two estates.”

At that moment, Daohua’s voice could be heard coming in.

“Grandmother, mother, have the estates been purchased?”

The people in the room couldn’t help but smile at the sound of her voice.

The Yan Family’s Old Madam looked at Daohua, who had stepped into the room briskly, with an amused look, “Look how anxious you are, girl. Didn’t I say if I promised to buy it for you, I would? Could it be that you missed out?”

With a giggling voice, Daohua said, “Isn’t granddaugter just trying to grow delicious things for grandmother?”

The Yan Family’s Old Madam looked toward Madam Li and Yan Zhiqiang with a smile, “Listen to this child, she clearly wants the estates for herself, yet she insists it’s for me; I’ve become her shield.”

Seeing Madam Li holding the two land deeds, Daohua immediately approached her.

Madam Li, finding her eagerness quite amusing, said, “I’ve never seen anyone as obsessed with wealth as you.” She then handed over the land deeds to Daohua.

Daohua carefully took the deeds and then sat down next to the Old Madam, scrutinizing them several times. She then handed back the deed for the large estate to Madam Li while holding onto the one for the small estate.

Seeing this, Madam Li couldn’t help but laugh, “You little girl, are you afraid your mother will take it away from you? Come on, give the deed to mother, and I will keep it safe for you as part of your dowry in the future.”

Daohua, holding the deed, shook her head repeatedly, “No, I want to hold onto it myself.” When you keep your possessions with you, that’s when you feel secure.

Madam Li: “You are still young. What if you lose the deed? Rest assured, your mother is not coveting it.”

Daohua continued to shake her head, “I will not lose it.”

Madam Li wanted to say more, but then the Old Madam spoke up, “Let Daohua hold onto it herself. I don’t know whom this child takes after; she has always known how to guard her belongings since she was young.”
