Chapter 113 - Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Slight Change in Complexion (2/2)
“Yes, Daughter, if you’re short on money, just tell your Father. There’s no need for you to work so hard and sell embroideries for money. It pains me to see you like this,” said Master Su, whose thoughts weren’t as complex as the An Family’s, but who was nonetheless reluctant to see his daughter working so hard.
When Su Wenyue left the family for marriage, Master Su and Madam Su did not prepare an extensive dowry, considering practical circumstances. They worried that too much might be hard for their daughter to manage and could attract ill-intentioned people. Furthermore, given her character, it wasn’t wise to entrust her with too much at once. Rather than having her spend it all immediately, it seemed wiser to offer support when she matured and truly needed it.
“Father, Mother, you’re worrying too much. I haven’t spent much of the dowry you gave me, and I’m not short of money. I just want to earn money using my abilities. I don’t have many skills, but my needlework is decent, so I came up with this idea. I still need your help to sell it in the workshop.”
Mr. and Mrs. Su were about to dissuade their daughter from putting in so much effort, but seeing her determination, they held back. If their daughter was willing, that was all that mattered.
“It seems our daughter has truly grown up. Alright, I’ll personally take charge of these few pieces of embroidery,” conceded the An Family, pulling out five hundred taels of silver from a box and handing it to Su Wenyue. The price was obviously higher than the market rate, but selling them wouldn’t result in a loss for the workshop. Su Wenyue didn’t decline the offer and accepted the silver with a beaming smile. She then brought out another bundle.
“Father, Mother, these are clothes I made for you and Elder Brother; please try them on to see if they fit.”
“Good girl, you even made clothes for your Father. Bring them here so I can have a look.” Master Su, learning that his daughter had tailored clothes for him, was overjoyed and immediately tried on the new Clothes. The An Family, too, couldn’t wait to wear the Dress her daughter had made. The fact that they fit so well made it all the more special, as this was the first time their daughter had made clothes for them.
“Ah, our daughter is really considerate, isn’t she? Look how filial she is, much more so than your two brothers, those rascals.” Master Su couldn’t wait to put on the Clothes made by his daughter and found them more comfortable than any crafted by a professional embroiderer.
Watching her parents so happy, Su Wenyue also brimmed with smiles. In her previous life, she had been ungrateful and had failed to appreciate her parents’ efforts, leading to later regrets. This life, she would leave no such regret.
“Lady Yue, you’ve been busy with both embroideries and making clothes. Don’t overdo it and wear yourself out; it wouldn’t be worth it.” The An Family, while happy with her daughter’s thoughtfulness, was more meticulous as a woman and concerned about different things.
“Yueyue, your Mother is right. Whatever you want to do, go ahead, but don’t wear yourself out. If you’re ever short on silver, just let me know; Daddy has plenty.” Master Su, heeding his wife’s words, quickly chimed in.
“Father, Mother, don’t worry. I know my limits. Besides, Han Yu is always watching over me, afraid that I’ll overwork myself. Otherwise, I’d have done even more.”
Hearing that her son-in-law was considerate of their daughter, Master Su and Madam Su felt relieved.
“By the way, when is big brother coming back? He has been accompanying Grandfather to Chang’an City for quite some time now. By my calculations, he should be returning soon.” Su Wenyue brought up her brother, whom she missed acutely since she hadn’t seen him since her rebirth.
Upon hearing Su Wenyue’s question, Master Su and Madam Su’s expressions subtly shifted.
