Chapter 52, the importance of natal family

Mrs. Li and Yan Zhigao returned to the way they were respectful before, but the atmosphere between them made Daohua feel a little weird.

Her mother does not seem to be as thoughtful and meticulous as she was to the cheap father when she first came.

And cheap dad, he often looks at her mother from time to time, and sometimes talks, but hesitates, which is very weird.

"Did the cheap father finally found out that her mother was good, and changed his mind?"

"What are you whispering?"

Mrs. Li knocked Daohua’s forehead.

Inahua immediately shook her head: "It's nothing." After finishing speaking, she immediately lowered her head, flipped through the account book with one hand, and crackled with the abacus with the other, slipping too fast.

During this period, seeing Mrs. Li's eyes reddening to check the accounts, she felt that as a daughter, she should help share some of the burden, so she proposed herself to Mrs. Li.

There are a lot of things in the year, and Mrs. Li didn’t have time to teach her daughter to read, keep, and settle accounts, but she knew that this was her daughter’s filial piety, and she couldn’t bear to fail. She also thought that her daughter is now 9 years old, and she should learn about housekeeping.

So, Mrs. Li took some time out of her busy schedule to teach Daohua how to read the books.

Compared with the big family, Mrs. Li's dowry is nothing but the Yan family, who was born in a poor family, is definitely called rich.

In the past few years, the family’s expenses and the money that Yan Zhigao has spent have been used a lot, but Mrs. Li, who has always been able to increase income and reduce expenditure, has continued to add some family resources.

So, at the end of the year, I have to look at the ledger that I pushed.

Ms. Li looked at her quirky daughter with a full smile, and asked in a soft tone: "If you think there is any problem in the ledger, please write it down first, and wait for your mother to come back. Then I will explain to you."

Daohua did not raise her head: "I know, I got it, mother, you can go to other things, and you can leave it to me with confidence."

Ms. Li smiled silently, and looked at her daughter who was earnestly settled accounts for a while, then quietly left the room and went to the next door.

"Madam, this is a gift list sent by some people over the years."

At the end of each year, the exchange of rituals is a very important thing, which is related to the maintenance of the love and meaning of the family.

In previous years, Mrs. Li had to check the account book for one year and prepare the annual gifts for each family. She was always very busy.

This year, she did not expect to enjoy the blessing of her daughter.

Teaching her daughter to look at the accounts, she is ready to stay up late at night, but who would have thought that she just gave her a rough guide, and the daughter directly took over the account books.

She checked, and for every expenditure in the ledger, her daughter scored the same score. Moreover, her daughter carefully changed the accounting method to make the ledger look more clear at a glance.

This gave her a new understanding of her daughter’s intelligence.

"This year, it is probably the most relaxing year for the lady."

Seeing Mrs. Li's face with a smile on her face, Ping Tong joked in the sidelines.

Ping Xiao took the words: "Isn't it? Since the big girl came, the lady's smile has not been broken every day, and the slave-maid looks at it, and the lady's complexion is much better than before."

Pingtong also smiled and said: "The old lady said that the eldest girl is a lucky star. She used to be the old lady in her hometown, but now she has come to the county office and Mrs. Wang is starting again."

Ms. Li felt so in her heart.

She knows how bad the old lady Zeng Jin's body is, but now, some people who are younger than the old lady are probably not as strong as her elders.

I don’t know if it is her illusion, she also feels that her skin has improved a bit during this period.

"Well, you two are not allowed to praise that girl anymore, and you can't say anything like a lucky star."

Fame is very important to women, but too big, but not necessarily a good thing.

Some women are so famous because of their reputations that they have attracted some snakes, ghosts and bulls, and they ended up in fate.

Her Daohua only needs to be peaceful and happy for a lifetime, and she doesn’t need to attract outsiders’ attention with her illusory reputation.

Ping Tong and Ping Xiao saw that Mrs. Li didn't want to say more, so they honestly began to help organize the annual gift list.

"There is still no annual gift from the capital this year?"

After reading all the gift lists, Mrs. Li sighed.

My mother-in-law is not hard-hearted, my sister-in-law’s life at her husband’s house is probably very difficult, and she can’t even send the New Year gifts to her mother’s house.

Pingtong: "Then madam, do we still send New Year gifts to the capital?"

Mrs. Li nodded: “Send it, of course. Even if the Yang family doesn’t like what we sent, we must let them know that the sister-in-law has a family.”

Ms. Li thought about it a little bit, and added 10% to the New Year gift sent to the capital.

Pingtong saw that Mrs. Li added something to the Yang family’s gift list. After thinking about it, he couldn’t help but said, “Madam, in this way, I’m afraid the family will be a little bit tight in the coming year.”

Ms. Li did not stop writing: “There are not many people who can help the sister-in-law at home. She looks better at the New Year’s gift, and she can live better at her husband’s house.”

Gao's marrying wife's suffering, she has a deep understanding of it.

She herself is a high married woman!

At Yan's family, everyone seems to respect her, but she knows very well in her heart that most of them are because she has brought a lot of dowry and has a relatively wealthy natal family.

is the old lady, who agreed with her and the master’s marriage at the beginning, also valued this point.

The natal family is too important for a married woman.

Her life is good. There are two older brothers who love her. Even if the Li family’s head is not as high as the Yan family, the gifts from the Li family every year can make her straighten up at the Yan family.

After   , Mrs. Li was carefully sorting out the New Year gifts sent by each family, and then sent back the corresponding New Year gifts in the past.

Here, Daohua finished calculating a ledger, stood up and stretched out.

The ancient ledger is really ugly, and her eyes hurt and swelled.

She has to take a break.

I got myopia in ancient times, but she didn’t have glasses to wear.

Daohua walked in front of the window to admire the cold orchid she specially gave to Mrs. Li to relieve eye fatigue.

Hanlan was found in the mountains in her hometown, and she has been kept in the space ever since. At this moment, she is blooming green.

Just then, Ping Xiao walked in, holding a bowl of freshly cooked milk in his hand.

"Girl, the madam specially asked you to boil milk for you. Come over and drink it."

Daohua went to the table and sat down, and took a sip of the milk: “Sister Pingxiao, where is the pot of red plums I gave to my mother? Didn’t it display it?”

Pingxiao smiled and said: "These days the master is resting in the wife's room. Seeing Hongmei's good looks, he said he wanted to get the front office and show it to everyone."

Ina Flower curled her lips: "Father is embarrassed to take it."

In order to see the red plum blossom early, she planted the red plum in the black ground in the space for half a month, so that the red plum not only blooms well, but also has a pleasant fragrance.

In this cold weather, people should be refreshed by smelling the faint plum scent.

Her mother was so busy and tired during this time, she was not energetic at first glance, and the cheap father was better, so she took Hongmei away directly.

Ina Flower: "Father is going to take annual leave in a few days, right?"

Ping Xiao nodded: "Master will take a rest on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month."

Daohua: "You help me remember, then I have to find my father Jiang Hongmei to come back."

Ping Xiao looked at the big girl who was stingy with her master, and smiled secretly.

In the past, although the master valued his wife, he did not get angry with his wife because of Aunt Lin.

It’s all right now. The big girl is here. Thinking of the scene where the big girl came out for his wife before, Ping Xiao couldn’t admire it.

At the same time, the capital of Yang Mansion.

Looking at the mother-in-law and the three sister-in-laws laughing and talking about how to give their parents the New Year gift, Yan Siyu pressed her lips tightly, and squeezed her hands hidden in her long sleeves, letting her nails be pinched into the flesh.

At the end of each year, such a scene will come once.

The mother-in-law looks down on her mother-in-law, she knows and is prepared. But she didn't expect that Yang Family could do so excessively, and she didn't even want to prepare for the Yan Family.

Although the eldest brother has been a county magistrate for 9 years, this does not mean that he has no chance of promotion.

The Yang family treats the Yan family this way, terribly indifferent!

If she weren't still thinking about the two children, she really wanted to escape from the Yang family.

The old lady Yang glanced at the unhappy little daughter-in-law, and snorted in her heart.

She knew that the little daughter-in-law was still dreaming of her elder brother's promotion, but it was a pity that this dream was about to break.

If they didn’t know that Yan Zhigao would no longer be able to advance, how could they have done so excessively?

At the beginning, the reason why she agreed that her younger son took Yan Siyu, who was born in a poor family, was that she valued his elder brother's future?

Who knows, this Yan Zhigao is a talented and arrogant person, and he doesn’t know how to be an official at all. When he first entered officialdom, he offended a noble man he couldn’t provoke.

If it weren’t for his ability to do something practical, he wouldn’t even be able to do it as a county magistrate.

Now even in front of the county magistrate, they will only be sent to the backward and remote Xia County to serve as cattle and horses, adding to the political achievements of the people above them.

A person like this is over for a lifetime. She can keep her daughter-in-law because of her two grandchildren.
