Rebirth of a Farming Wife

Chapter 13 Somewhat funny

It would be fine if her daughter married a man with a good family background, but her son-in-law was a farmer. How could he protect her precious daughter! Su's mother, An, had a grudge against Master Su. She hated that Master Su didn't care about her daughter's happiness at all in order to abide by that broken agreement. How could she have a good life in the future by marrying her daughter to such a man? He also said that he loved Yue Niang the most, but in the end, those concubines who were not presentable married better than each other. She felt suffocated when she thought about it.

However, no matter what, since her daughter was going to marry, An still arranged everything she could for her daughter. Although Su Wenyue's dowry looked like just a few boxes of things, it looked a bit shabby. Some people even speculated whether Su Wenyue was not favored in the Su family, but in fact, there were many tricks in it.

What people saw outside was just appearance. The two concubines married in a grand manner, and the dowry was carried one after another. In fact, the boxes were filled with ordinary silk, satin, porcelain, etc., nothing particularly valuable.

Su Wenyue's boxes of things looked a little small, but they were actually all good stuff. Anshi had almost sold most of the good stuff in the warehouse, such as high-quality medicinal materials that were not available on the market, antiques that had been around for many years, and the most fashionable and beautiful fabrics. There were also a few pieces of tribute materials, and several sets of gold and silver jewelry and jades. Anshi specially asked someone to go to the best silver shop in the capital to make them. All of them were the most exquisite and beautiful. Although her daughter didn't need them now, she was prepared for any eventuality. She almost filled up several large boxes.

In order to make it less noticeable, Anshi had to fold the rest into silver notes. She originally wanted to give Su Wenyue a few thousand taels of silver to keep in the bottom of the box, but then she thought about her daughter's ignorant nature and her extravagant spending. She was afraid that she would spend all the silver in a few minutes or be fooled away by others.

Later, An and Mr. Su discussed it and finally left only 1,000 taels of silver for Su Wenyue to keep in the bottom of the box. The rest of the silver was used to buy a farm for Su Wenyue. The farm was not far from the city. If Su Wenyue and her husband went to the city in the future, it would be convenient to manage. Mr. Su was afraid that his daughter would not understand the affairs of the farm and knew nothing about the things on the farm. He was afraid that his daughter would be deceived by the people below, so he also assigned a loyal old servant to the farm to manage the farm for Su Wenyue. In this way, not only did he not have to worry about Su Wenyue ruining the farm, but he could also have an income every year.

In her previous life, Su Wenyue hated her parents, so she didn't even want to look at her dowry. She just took it out when she needed it, and gave a lot away, making her parents' kindness cheap for others. At that time, she was really raised too naively and had a shallow concept of money, so she didn't realize how rich the dowry her parents gave her was. Now she feels touched and guilty when she thinks about it.

When Han Yu came back in the evening, he had a good harvest. He not only hunted a muntjac weighing more than 20 kilograms, but also caught several pheasants and hares in the traps set in the mountains for a few days. It was a good harvest. Han Yu thought about it on the way back and only took the pheasants and hares back home. He left the muntjac at the home of his good brother Chen Shuang halfway up the mountain. He planned to go and get it when he went out tomorrow. Chen Shuang had no parents since he was a child, and he lived alone without getting married. He was tight-lipped, so there was no need to worry about leaking the news.

Han Yu also didn't want to make his family unhappy about his wife's return. After all, if a wild animal like a muntjac was sold to a restaurant in the town, it would earn at least a few taels of silver. The eldest and third sisters-in-law would definitely be jealous when they saw it, but he didn't care much. Han Yu didn't want to make Yang feel uncomfortable, which would inevitably make her have opinions about his wife.

Han Yu knows his own mother very well. Although he seems to be very good to his wife now, it is only because of several reasons that they have only been together for such a long time. It is impossible for him to really treat her as his own daughter. If he thinks that his son is biased towards his wife and forgets about his family after marrying her, he will definitely not be so easy to talk to.

Why did Han Yu climb from a small farmer to a powerful official in his previous life? Although he looks cold and serious, he is actually very meticulous and good at guessing people's hearts. Now he is willing to consider his wife and arrange everything properly. Thinking of the explicit words of his wife before leaving, Han Yu's mouth curled again, and then he sighed again, a little discouraged.

Alas! His wife is just a little more open-minded. After all, she is a new wife who has just left the boudoir. She is still very shy in some aspects. He can't be touched. He has to teach her well, otherwise when can he have a good meal of meat? A man who has just tasted meat can't afford to be hurt!

When Han Yu returned home, Su Wenyue was still sorting out the boxes and cages, sorting the things one by one according to the dowry list. Now she put away the things that were needed or not needed. In the past, the maids helped to take care of these things, but now she had to sort them out slowly by herself, which was not an easy job. Li came back early this afternoon, so she didn't have to cook dinner and could concentrate on sorting these things.

Li came back early because Yang wanted her to do it. First, before Su Wenyue got married, she promised the Yue family that Su Wenyue wouldn't have to do these things. Second, the family was not rich. Although they were not short of food and clothing, they lived a tight life. Whether it was oil, salt, rice, noodles or other things, they had to calculate the amount of oil, salt, rice, noodles or other things to use every day. This daughter-in-law's cooking was delicious, but it was too expensive. She calculated that the oil in the can would last for a few days, but Su Wenyue had used up most of it after cooking two meals. The rice and noodles were also much less, and the family couldn't afford such a waste.

In fact, this is the result of Su Wenyue's thriftiness considering the situation of the Han family. Yang was too embarrassed to tell Su Wenyue directly. After all, the daughter-in-law's family is rich, and she has not been particular about many things since she married in. It is unreasonable not to let her use even this little bit of oil and rice. So Yang thought that she should let the daughter-in-law cook less in the future. Anyway, there are several daughters-in-law in the family, and the daughter-in-law can just teach the children to read and embroider.

Although Su Wenyue had suffered a lot in her previous life, she had never been thrifty in this regard. Oil, salt, rice and flour are the most common things that no rich family lacks. Even if someone wanted to embarrass Su Wenyue, no one would embarrass her in this regard, so Su Wenyue didn't notice Yang's thoughts at all.

However, when Han Yu heard that Li came back specially to cook, he understood a little after thinking about it carefully. He found it a little funny, but he thought it was also good. His wife was delicate and tender, so he had to take good care of her. He wouldn't make her rough after just a few days of marriage. So even if he understood it in his heart, he didn't say it out loud. He let his wife think that her mother-in-law was considerate of her. Such misunderstanding was also good.
