“Why does this have to be so complicated, and how did it get tangled up with the Fourth child?” Mrs. Yang, upon hearing that this matter could affect Han Yu, found some sense in Su Wenyue’s words and reluctantly shut her mouth. Being a farmer’s wife from the countryside, she was utterly clueless about the affairs of officialdom. If what the Fourth Daughter-in-law said was true, then indeed they could not sell the person off. At most, they would need to be more frugal on a daily basis, but they absolutely must not let it negatively impact their son’s career.
As the Old lady left, Su Wenyue’s expression immediately darkened, wanting to vent, but she held back her anger when she looked at Grandma Chen and the others nearby.
Grandma Chen and Aunt Li actually wished Su Wenyue would vent a little to avoid harming herself by holding it in.
“Madam, please take heart. The Old lady, after all, comes from a humble background and has a narrower perspective. Some things are inevitably not well-considered by her. Don’t be angry to the point of harming your health, it’s not good for the child in your stomach,” they consoled her.
Su Wenyue was aware of this truth, and even though she was angry, it was still within a manageable limit. It was also because of Mrs. Yang’s words which let Grandma Chen and Aunt Li understand her stance. The Servants’ loyalty also needed to be upheld. Although they had signed a Death Contract, which allowed her to deal with them as she pleased, the difference between working diligently and carelessly still existed. Furthermore, the people her mother sent were all excellent, and she didn’t want to dishearten them.
“I don’t have much of an issue, but don’t take my Mother-in-law’s words to heart. My mother sent you all here because you are capable. Conditions here may not be as good as in the Su Mansion, but once you’re here, we’re all family. As long as you work earnestly and remain loyal to me, I won’t let you end up without a future.”
The Servants were grateful that the Madam considered their feelings. Despite their initial dissatisfaction with the Old lady, they didn’t mind so much now because they served the Madam, who wouldn’t mistreat them or sell them off. Life at the Han family might not match that at the Su Family, but it was much more relaxed, almost like one big family, without so many strict rules. As long as they did their jobs well, they didn’t need to worry about anything else.
“We know the master is kind-hearted, and we haven’t taken the Old lady’s words to heart. Madam, don’t overthink it either. A Pregnant Woman should avoid too much worry, just as the doctor has advised,” they reassured her.
When Han Yu returned, Mrs. Yang bombarded him with numerous questions. Han Yu felt rather perplexed, still answering patiently. However, even if he explained the intricacies of officialdom, his mother wouldn’t understand. Why had she suddenly begun asking these questions? Han Yu guessed it must have something to do with something his daughter-in-law had said.
After Han Yu had left, Mrs. Yang murmured to Old Man Han, “The Fourth Daughter-in-law didn’t deceive me this time. Those affairs of officialdom are indeed too complicated. It’s fortunate that the Fourth child can handle them.”
Mrs. Yang began with a sigh of relief but gradually became somewhat proud, thinking her son truly had Ability. Otherwise, how could he manage so many matters? Old Man Han shook his head at his wife’s attitude: “You, always overthinking. When has the Fourth Daughter-in-law ever deceived you? If you don’t understand these matters, best not meddle. Besides, Our family has split the household. It’s inappropriate for you to be too involved.”
“How is it inappropriate? Even if the household is split, Yuer is still my son. His daughter-in-law doesn’t know how to manage the home, so what’s wrong with looking out for my son’s interests?” Mrs. Yang retorted, not convinced.
