Chapter 81 Private Property
After the banquet, the Yan family’s life in Xingzhou gradually began to get back on track.
Yan Wenxiu and several boys were sent to the state school by Yan Zhigao; Daohua and the other girls could only study at home because they had not found a wife yet.
One day, Daohua had been practicing Chinese characters for more than half an hour, and was about to take out the embroidery studio to practice some female red, when she saw Ping Xiao entering the yard with a smile.
"Girl, Madam is looking for you!"
Daohua quickly put down the embroidery shed and asked doubtfully: "What do you want me to do at this time?"
Ping Xiao smiled and said: "It's a good thing. I heard that the third master is optimistic about Zhuangzi and is now telling the old lady and madam about it."
Hearing this, Daohua immediately became interested and hurriedly walked towards Songheyuan.
Songheyuan.
Yan Zhiqiang handed the two land deeds to Mrs. Yan, and then said: "According to my sister-in-law's instructions, I bought a big village and a small village. The two villages are very close to each other."
"Dazhuangzi has 500 acres of land, including 300 acres of paddy fields and 200 acres of dry land. There are 21 tenant households in the village."
"Xiaozhuangzi has two hundred acres of land, including one hundred acres of paddy fields and one hundred acres of dry land, plus a barren mountain. There are ten tenant households."
Mrs. Yan looked at the field deed carefully, then handed it to Mrs. Li who was standing aside: "Boss, wife, please keep the field deed."
Mrs. Li saw that the old lady had no reluctance, so she took the field deed with a smile and looked at Yan Zhiqiang: "Have the spring seeds been planted in both Zhuangzi?"
Yan Zhiqiang nodded: "They are all planted. I observed carefully and found that the two tenants of Zhuangzi are not sneaky people. They care about the fields and cultivate them very carefully."
Mrs. Li: "That's good. I have been worried that the newly purchased Zhuangzi will miss the spring plowing. After this, the two Zhuangzi will have to trouble the third brother to watch more."
At this time, Daohua's voice came in.
"Grandma, mother, has Zhuangzi bought it?"
Hearing the sound, several people in the room smiled.
Mrs. Yan cast an annoyed side glance at Daohua who quickly stepped into the house: "Look at how anxious you are. You will buy it for you even if you say I will. How can you not get enough of it from you?"
Daohua smiled and said: "Don't my granddaughter want to grow delicious food for her grandmother?"
Mrs. Yan looked at Mrs. Li and Yan Zhiqiang with a smile: "Look at what she said. She obviously wants Zhuangzi for herself, but she still wants to say it's for me, so I've become a shield."
Daohua saw Mrs. Li holding two farm deeds in her hand and immediately went over to them.
Seeing her eager look, Mrs. Li was extremely happy: "I've never seen such a money-obsessed person like you." As she said that, she handed her the field deed in her hand.
Daohua carefully took the field deed, then sat next to the old lady, read it several times, and then returned the field deed of Dazhuangzi to Mrs. Li, while she took the field deed of Xiaozhuangzi in her hand.
When Mrs. Li saw it, she burst into laughter: "You girl, are you still afraid that your mother will steal your property? Quickly, give the land deed to your mother, and she will keep it for you and use it as your dowry in the future."
Daohua held the field deed and shook her head repeatedly: "No, I want to hold it myself." She can hold her own things by herself, so that she can feel at ease.
Mrs. Li: "You are still young, what if you lose the land deed? Don't worry, mother is not greedy for you."
Daohua still shook her head: "I won't lose it."
Mrs. Li wanted to say something else, but then Mrs. Yan spoke: "Let Daohua hold it by herself. This girl doesn't know who she is following. She has known how to protect her own things since she was a child."
Daohua said matter-of-factly: "Of course you have to protect your own things." After saying that, he looked at Mrs. Li with stern eyes, "Mom, I want to go to Zhuangzi to have a look. Isn't there a barren mountain? I went and took a look.
Can you plant something? Don’t let it go to waste.”
Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Yan and asked her opinion.
Mrs. Yan thought for a while, nodded and said: "The weather is perfect now, I will go out for a walk."
Daohua immediately said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit it, let's do it tomorrow!"
Mrs. Yan rolled her eyes at Daohua and said with a smile: "Looking at how anxious you are, I know you can't sit still, so let's do it tomorrow."
Mrs. Li: "Mom, my daughter-in-law is going to meet Yapa tomorrow to discuss purchasing a buyer."
Mrs. Yan didn't care much: "You are busy with your business. Daohua and I can just go to Zhuangzi. It's not very far." Seeing that Mrs. Li seemed a little worried, she pointed at Yan Zhiqiang and said, "You have Zhiqiang here, what else do you have?"
Are you worried?"
Seeing this, Mrs. Li didn't say anything else.
On that day, everyone in the Yan family knew that a village had been added to their family. At the same time, they also knew that Daohua had a small village by herself.
Second bedroom.
Yan Yile curled her lips and said: "Grandma is just partial. She said that the money used to buy Zhuangzi belongs to the eldest sister herself. But the eldest sister is only one or two years older than us. How could she have saved so much money? It must have been grandma who used her own body."
I bought it for her with my own money."
Yan Zhiyuan and Sun didn't really believe that Daohua, who was only 9 years old, could save thousands of taels of silver, but it was hard for them to say anything about it.
After all, Daohua has been raised by the old lady since she was a child. Even if the old lady takes out the money, they have no reason to object.
Yan Wenjie also looked a little unhappy and muttered: "Old ladies from other families are trying their best to save money for their children and grandchildren. Why do our family only want to support our granddaughter who will marry off sooner or later?"
Hearing the complaint in Yan Wenjie's tone, Yan Zhiyuan immediately darkened his face: "Shut up, old lady, you, a junior, can arrange it? Have all your books been read into the stomach of dogs over the years?"
When Mrs. Sun saw that Yan Zhiyuan was angry, she immediately patted Yan Wenjie on the shoulder: "You have no control over your words. You dare to say anything. The old lady is the ancestor of our family. Whatever she wants to do, don't say anything.
You, even your father, can't say no. If you listen to your nonsense again in the future, I will beat you carefully."
Yan Wenjie was very discerning. Seeing that both his parents were angry, he immediately apologized: "Father, mother, it's the son's fault. I also heard that my eldest sister and my daughter have private property, but my grandson still has nothing."
, I feel dissatisfied, so I’m just talking nonsense, so don’t be angry.”
Yan Zhiyuan glared at his son, his face still a little unhappy: "The old lady is your grandmother, you can only respect her in your heart." After saying that, he left the door with his hands behind his back.
Mrs. Sun looked at her three daughters, who were frightened by her husband's anger, and sighed: "It's not easy for the old lady to raise you fathers. I won't dare to be disrespectful to the old lady in the future."
Yan Wenjie nodded dullly.
Three bedrooms, calm and peaceful.
They know that the money Daohua earns will only be more than buying Zhuangzi. If she wants to use it to buy Zhuangzi, no one can object.
Shuangxinyuan.
Yan Yishuang said with envy: "The eldest sister is so lucky. Not only does she have a wealthy maternal grandfather's family, jade bracelets, brocades and other good things are given to her from time to time; even her grandmother is also subsidizing her. She is only 9 years old.
You will have your own Zhuangzi."
Aunt Lin felt extremely sad when she heard this.
Her daughter is no worse than anyone else, but her treatment at home is very different from that of the eldest daughter. They are both the master's daughters. Why should the eldest daughter have everything she wants, while her daughter has nothing?
Looking at her daughter Anran's face, Aunt Lin felt very unhappy. She immediately called the maid and wanted her to go to the front yard to find Yan Zhigao. However, when she thought that Yan Zhigao had been busy during this period, she was afraid that she was not in the mood to listen to her.
, thought about it, and reluctantly asked the maid to retreat.
