The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1398

Chapter 1398: Chapter 1151, Redemption 2_2

Even though neither of them was too willing, they still had to give face to their eldest sister.

The head of the Zhang Family was the eldest uncle, and he doted on the eldest sister the most, often giving her many good things in private. They didn’t really lose out.

Yet, the second Miss Zhang was still a bit reluctant.

Material as good as Shu Brocade was only supplied to high-ranking officials and nobility. Even a wealthy merchant family like the Zhang Family couldn’t buy much even if they had Silver. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

She had grown up all this time without having a piece of clothing made from Shu Brocade.

The third Miss Zhang saw that her hand was still clutching onto the Shu Brocade and quietly tugged at her. Only then did the second Miss Zhang glare at Zhang Huahan before turning and sitting down on a chair.

Zhang Huahan saw this but wasn’t embarrassed in the slightest, picking and choosing as she pleased.

In the past, she wasn’t without manners, but the result of being gracious was that everyone accepted it as a matter of course, without any gratitude. So why should she please these people?

It was the old Madam Zhang who, with a face full of loving-kindness, pulled the eldest Miss Zhang, praising her for having the demeanor of an older sister—sensible, loving towards her sisters, and during this she took a meaningful glance at Zhang Huahan.

Zhang Huahan’s eyelids drooped slightly. The eldest sister was loving towards her sisters. Was she, who didn’t know how to be gracious to her elder sisters, not sensible?

But had Grandmother forgotten, it was her who asked her to pick first. She merely followed the instruction.

The other sisters were allowed to see the items first, but when she chose later, they wanted her to let others take their pick. If that were the case, why let her choose first?

Every time she came to her Grandmother’s place, she felt tired. Grandmother always spoke with hidden meanings. In front of the others, she wanted to show how much she valued her, but privately she wished for her to yield to others on her own accord.

After all the fuss, it was almost always she who ended up as the villain, or the one feeling wronged.

These were things she only started to realize gradually as she grew up. Knowing this, how could she still bring herself to act according to others’ wishes and wrong herself?

Over time, all that her Grandmother had left to offer her was superficial affection.

Old Madam Zhang seemed to have lost interest and, after chatting with several girls for a while, she dismissed them.

After leaving the courtyard together, as soon as they walked out, the second Miss Zhang and the third Miss Zhang blocked Zhang Huahan’s path.

Zhang Huahan looked at them calmly, "Do you have any advice, my two sisters?"

The second Miss Zhang first let out a laugh, then displayed a sympathetic expression, "I say, Fifth Sister, what are you doing holding on to so many good things? You can’t even use them!"

The third Miss Zhang quickly picked up the topic, "How could they be useless? Fifth Sister will be of age next year and is already at the age to discuss marriage." Saying this, she seemed to think of something and suddenly covered her mouth.

"Look at my mouth, it’s really got no door. Fifth Sister may be at the age to discuss marriage, but no one is arranging it for her. Eldest Uncle is busy with Eldest Sister’s marriage, and Eldest Aunt..."

Listening to their mockery, Zhang Huahan’s expression didn’t change, but it did affect her inside, leaving her feeling quite uncomfortable: "Do you have anything else, my two sisters? If not, I’ll be going."

After speaking, without waiting for their response, she turned and left directly.

After walking quite a long distance, Zhang Huahan’s face finally showed a hint of repressed pain.

The Yan Family...

Regarding this prospective in-law, which she still felt she didn’t dare to aspire to, the old Madam Zhang had very complex feelings.

Due to the Yan Family, the Zhang Family indeed grew its business but only within Huai’an Province.

Her son was able to marry the one from the Wutong Courtyard through unscrupulous means, resulting in the Yan Family despising the Zhang Family utterly, never acknowledging this relative in public.

Furthermore, since the one from the Wutong Courtyard married into the Zhang Family, she had never contacted the Yan Family, making the relationship between the two families even more estranged.

Thus, they dared not mention their relationship with the Yan Family in any public setting, only daring to use the Yan Family’s name and influence on a small scale to expand their business.

Over the years, her eldest son may have appeared glorious on the outside, but he was always very cautious, fearing provoking the Yan Family’s disgust and bringing disaster to the Zhang Family. Even if there were good business opportunities, he hesitated to take them.

Now that her legitimate brother from the Wutong Courtyard was coming to Huai’an, she and her son finally saw a glimmer of hope.

As long as that one isn’t truly hard-hearted towards her own daughter, she couldn’t believe that a mother wouldn’t plan for her own flesh and blood.

The top priority for a young woman is certainly marriage. That one, so proud and ambitious, would surely not want to see her daughter marry off casually.

As long as she is willing to contact her brother, with the Provincial Governor’s help, the fifth girl could certainly marry into an official family, with a reasonably high rank too.

When the fifth girl is well-settled, the Zhang Family would naturally benefit, and by leveraging her connections, the Zhang Family could gradually change its stature.
