Chapter 301 Preparations for Homecoming
Chapter 301 Preparations for Homecoming
Seeing her mother's serious and nervous face, and the way she's been mumbling recently, I can't say anything.
It's all because of her parents' love for her, so 500 taels is 500 taels, as long as they are happy.
Under Wang's repeated instructions, Lin Xiaomi kept the fertility charm. When she was on the road, she would burn it in a charcoal basin. It was impossible to drink it, and it would be even more difficult to explain if someone saw it.
Xiao Ran knew that the Lin family was reluctant to let go of their daughter-in-law. Lin Fuchen was such a playful person, but he had no interest in the newly made table tennis table these past two days.
The two children were always distracted and couldn't concentrate when studying.
However, they really couldn't stay. If my father-in-law's family hadn't gotten used to the life in the village, it would have been better for them to move to the capital.
The night before Lin Xiaomi returned to the city, Mrs. Wang and her uncle's family came to see her off and prepared a lot of homemade food for her to eat on the journey.
Yang, Lin Dahai, the second grandfather, the head of the village, and the clan leader's family all came and brought many farm specialties. What surprised her most was that people also came to the old house.
Her grandfather's family has always been a group of people who only take and never give. During the holidays, no matter how much gifts she gave them, she never saw them return the gifts.
Looking at the cured meat and cured chicken that Lin Dachuan had brought to the main hall, Wang said sarcastically, "Today the sun has really risen from the west. Your grandfather is actually willing to suffer a loss sometimes."
Lin Xiaomi smiled bitterly. It was not a loss at all. Her grandfather was sick this time and she had given him a lot of supplements. The old man was probably thinking about those things and still wanted them, so he came to show his goodwill.
"Mom, what should I do if I can't take all these things with me?"
"No, we need to take two more carriages from our house."
"I'll just take some of the food. You and Dad can enjoy the rest slowly. Chinese New Year is coming soon. If you go back with us, you may not be able to make it back in time."
It’s snowing heavily, and a journey that used to take a day now takes at least two days.
Wang thought about it and it made sense. She couldn't let people spend the New Year on the road.
"Then pick the one you like."
Daya also said goodbye to her parents at home. This time when she came back, she brought back all her monthly allowance and rewards.
Although life at home is not bad now, she is far away and still worried about them.
"Daya, you are not young anymore. Didn't the Crown Prince's wife say that she wants to find a family for you?"
What Daya’s father is worried about now is his daughter’s important affairs.
"Dad, the maids in the mansion are not promised to other families until they are eighteen years old. Some are even later."
"Eighteen? That's still a few years away. The Marquis's Mansion is not like our farm. You have to be cautious in everything. Don't be careless, okay?" The man reminded again worriedly.
"Don't worry, Dad. I know what's going on."
"Daya, you should be close to the Madam, and then she can beg you to find a good family. You are her dowry maid, so you should at least have a housekeeper or something! If you marry well, she will also have face." Groomsmen and servants are really not worthy of her daughter.
If you look closely, your eldest daughter is no less beautiful than the young ladies from wealthy families.
"Shut up! The master has his own plans. Who can you say who Daya marries?"
Daya's father looked at his wife with dissatisfaction. This was a confusing thing. Ever since the family's life became better, she had been comparing food and clothing with the other people in the village all day long.
When Daya followed the young lady to the Marquis' Mansion, she became even more proud and didn't know east, west, south, or north. She felt that she was superior to others and was extremely arrogant, and she didn't even know how to control her words.
"Mother, you and father cannot interfere in my marriage. No, all of us belong to the master, and we must do whatever he tells us to do. Have you forgotten that we are all servants who sell our bodies?
Butler, it sounds nice, but he is just a slave indentured to death, and his future children will still be slaves.
All a servant has to do is listen to his master.
The master and his mistress are kind-hearted, and the young lady is easy to get along with. We cannot have any inappropriate thoughts just because the host’s family is nice.
If we annoy them, they can still sell us out.
Mom, think about how we lived before and how we live now. Do you want to go back to the past?"
Dayaniang's face turned pale when she thought about the days when she didn't have enough to eat or warm clothes to wear and had to rely on to survive the winter.
"You, you have been eating white flour for a few days and you don't even know who you are. Look at your attitude when someone comes to visit you in the village. You look down on this person and that person.
Who do you think you are? You dare to neglect the relatives of the master and the mistress?
Why did the Guan family kick you out of the kitchen and send you to work in the workshop? It's because you can't keep your mouth shut." After his daughter went to the capital, the woman was very proud. He had wanted to teach her a lesson for a long time. His daughter rarely came home, and he didn't want her to worry, so he just endured it.
Daya held her mother's hand.
"Mom, I am blessed to come back and see you every year. We should cherish our blessings. Don't expect too much, or you will annoy others."
"I know. I'm doing this for your own good. I want you to have a good life in the future."
I heard that the private residence of a wealthy family’s housekeeper is also staffed with servants.
At home, they are the masters themselves and their lives are very comfortable.
Alas, I don’t know if my daughter has this blessing!
