30 Days when Shangguan Yong was away (2/2)
An Yuanzhi sneered. ”I told you, how could this family have such a good heart?”
”Then what is your plan?” An Jin asked.
”Sis,” An Yuanzhi helped An Jin to sit on a stone bench in the courtyard. ”No matter how rich or powerful An clan is, it has nothing to do with us. I just hope that they don't commit the crime of exterminating our entire family. ”If I want to join the army, I'll have to rely on my own ability. Even if I don't have a rich life, if I die on the battlefield, I'll still recognize it. One day, I'll break off all ties with the Xunyang An clan.”
Seeing the resolute look on An Yuanzhi's face as he said this, An Jinxiu let out a sigh. Didn't the An Yuanzhi of her past life succeed and become famous, then take over their birth mother and sever the relationship with Xunyang An? ” Did the family give you a hard time after you disagreed to enter the Guard Camp? ”
An Yuanzhi had been punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for three whole days, and now all the masters in the mansion were scolding him for not knowing what was good for him.
An Jinxiu was currently pregnant, so An Yuanzhi would not tell her about this. As for the doctor who checked her pulse, he was afraid that the child's month was wrong, so he suspected that when Shangguan Yong was away, An Yuanzhi would not mention it. ”No,” An Yuanzhi replied, ”Sis, can I take you to see the place I bought for you tomorrow?”
An Jinxiu knew who the masters of the Residence of An were, and she knew exactly what An Yuanzhi's situation was. Since An Yuanzhi didn't say anything, she stopped asking. A smile appeared on her face as she said to An Yuanzhi, ”When Shangguan Rui uncle is on leave, we'll go together and take a look. By the way, let's see if there are any honest farmers there and ask them if they're willing to rent our territory.”
An Yuanzhi said with a smile, ”Our land?”
”Are you still sharing property with me?” An Jinxiu glared at him. ”It seems that if I'm poor in the future, I won't be able to borrow silver from you.”
An Yuanzhi quickly said, ”How could I do such a thing?”
At this time, Shangguan Rui came back from school. An Jinxiu went to the kitchen to help with the cooking, while An Yuanzhi followed Shangguan Rui outside to talk. After the sun went down, the family sat around a table of Eight chairs, merrily eating dinner.
After An Yuanzhi left, An Jin showed the land deed to Shangguan Rui. Shangguan Rui saw his elder brother Shangguan Yong's name on the deed, and quickly said: ”Sister-in-law, this was bought with your dowry money, you should keep it.”
”This is the Shangguan Family's land,” An Jinxiu said very calmly, ”This is your share, little uncle will be fourteen next year, your wedding can't be any later. A man getting married and setting up his own business, he has to have some family property.”
Shangguan Rui wanted to thank An Jin, but he felt that the word 'thank' meant nothing to An Jin, so he pushed deed back in front of her and said, ”We'll talk about this when Big Brother comes back. ”Sister-in-law, I need to write to elder brother about our family's matters. You should also write a letter to elder brother and ask someone to send the two letters to him together.”
Hearing that she could write a letter to Shangguan Yong, An Jin was inspired, ”Can you deliver this letter to your big brother?”
Shangguan Rui smiled and nodded, ”Today, Big Brother's brother from the military came to find me. He is also going to the White Jade Mountain Pass, he can help us deliver the message and the things we need. ”Sister-in-law, big brother still doesn't know that you are pregnant.”
An Jinxiu stood up and went back to her room. She had a lot of things she wanted to say to Shangguan Yong, so she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to finish writing them all tonight.
Shangguan Rui smiled as he watched An Jin leave in a hurry.
When An Jin returned to her room, she wrapped Shangguan Yong's winter clothes with a bundle. After thinking about it, she also packed a few robes worn by Spring and Autumn, and sat down at the table to write a letter. When she was really ready to write a letter, An Jin realized that she had thousands of things to say, but she didn't know which line to write first.
Shangguan Rui didn't have the worry of An Jin. He knew that his elder brother couldn't read much, so with a few simple sentences, he explained the family matters to him and wrote about An Jin having a child. On the last line, Shangguan Rui wrote, 'Sister-in-law treats us very well and is a good woman.'
After An Jinxiu had written down a whole piece of paper, she remembered that Shangguan Yong would definitely let the person beside her read the letter to her. Theletter was written, torn apart, and then written again. It had been a busy night. The final letter was also a few simple sentences.
She's pregnant, and we've been well for two months now.
Send me a few pieces of Han Yi, please take care of it.
Everything at home is fine, don't worry.
Waiting for you at home.
Early the next morning, Shangguan Rui took the letter and package written by An Jinxiu and went to find his brother's brother who was in the army. An Jinxiu sent Shangguan Rui out the door, thinking about how happy Shangguan Yong would be if he knew they have children. The smile on the corner of her mouth could not be concealed.
Zi Yuan bought some food and saw her young miss standing in front of the door. She smiled and said, ”Young miss, what's the matter? Why are you laughing like a fool? ”
