The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408: Chapter 384, Value_1

The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner was specially arranged by Madam Li near the Water Pavilion beside the Chuihua Gate, where everyone enjoyed their meal under the bright moon and lively laughter filled the air.

After the meal, Old Madam Yan gazed at the full moon in the sky and thought of Yan Wenxiu, who was alone at their old home, “I wonder if Wenxiu has had a proper meal by himself?”

Madam Li also missed her eldest son, and her smiling face slightly sobered.

Daohua laughed, “Grandmother, Mother, rest assured, with the Clan Leader and the elders there, my big brother won’t go hungry.”

Old Madam Yan smiled and nodded but couldn’t help saying, “Even if the clan elders are there, it’s still not as comfortable as being at one’s own home.”

Daohua chuckled, “Grandmother, it’s only this year. Next year, big brother will be able to spend Mid-Autumn Festival with us.”

A thought crossed Old Madam Yan’s mind, and her eyes creased into a smile, “Next year, our family should be having an addition to the household.”

Hearing this, a smile also spread across Madam Li’s face.

Dong Yuanyao tugged at Daohua and whispered, “Is big brother Yan engaged?”

Daohua shook her head, “There’s just a hint of something, but nothing’s settled yet. My parents’ idea is to wait until big brother passes the imperial examinations, then discuss a marriage.” Saying this, she glanced at Su Shiyu and giggled softly.

“After they’re finished with my big brother’s matter, they’ll start on my fourth brother,” she continued.

Su Shiyu felt a twinge, “Yan Wenkai has a marriage prospect as well?”

As soon as the words left her mouth, Su Shiyu realized her eagerness may have been too glaring.

Indeed, she saw Daohua and Dong Yuanyao suppressing their laughter.

Su Shiyu stiffened and said, “I was just curious, that’s all.”

Daohua and Dong Yuanyao nodded in unison, “We know, we know; there’s no need to explain.”

Seeing this, Su Shiyu felt somewhat embarrassed and turned her head away in silence.

Daohua laughed and clarified her previous statement, “My big brother hasn’t settled anything yet, so my fourth brother is even less likely. Ah, just thinking about my fourth brother makes me so worried for him. He’s so careless and not steady at all. How is he supposed to win a girl’s affection?”

Dong Yuanyao was about to make a few points in defense of Yan Wenkai when she saw Daohua make eye contact and shake her head, so she immediately closed her mouth.

She remained silent, but Su Shiyu couldn’t help but speak up, “It’s not right for you to talk about your own brother that way. I think Yan Wenkai is quite nice.”

Daohua immediately continued, teasing, “Sister Su really thinks my fourth brother is nice? Then, how about becoming my fourth sister-in-law?”

At these words, Su Shiyu blushed fiercely, her ears reddening as well, and in disregard of her usual reserve, she leant forward, aiming to pinch Daohua, “You’re talking nonsense, see if I don’t tear your mouth apart.”

Daohua stood up to dodge, and seeing Su Shiyu chasing after her, she quickly pleaded, “Dear sister, I misspoke, please spare me this once.”

Su Shiyu was unforgiving, “You dare utter such words, I must teach you a lesson and see if you dare to make fun of me again.”

Daohua ran behind Dong Yuanyao for refuge, “Yuanyao, save me quick. Sister Su is on a rampage.”

Dong Yuanyao laughed and joined in, but instead of blocking Su Shiyu, she helped her by holding Daohua, “I’m the fairest person. This time you’ve annoyed Shiyu, so let her get a hit on you.”

“Dong Yuanyao, you just wait,” Daohua retorted. _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}

“I’ll wait, am I supposed to be afraid of you?” Dong Yuanyao replied confidently.

Old Madam Yan and Madam Li watched the trio’s playful antics with smiles on their faces.

Daohua, however, seemed unconcerned, “As for my second aunt-in-law, I have always taken her words with a grain of salt. In any case, no matter what she says, I won’t take it to heart. As long as she doesn’t interfere with me, she might as well not exist.”

Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu both smiled, “You certainly have a strong sense of confidence.”

Daohua said, “Of course, I’m not reliant on her for sustenance or guidance, why should I be beholden to her mood? Even if she’s my elder, she must act like one to earn respect.”

Dong Yuanyao sighed, “They say I’m rebellious, but compared to you, I think I’m much more obedient. At least when facing elders I dislike, I can’t be as nonchalant as you are.”

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyu became reflective, glancing at Daohua and then at Dong Yuanyao, pondering the situations of their respective families.

At the end of the day, the difference between Yuanyao and Yiyi mainly lies in the fact that much of Yiyi’s confidence comes from within herself, while Yuanyao’s is given by her family elders.

What others provide can be given and taken back, so inevitably, one must put effort into maintaining it.

That’s the way it is for Yuanyao as it is for her.

Yiyi has a bit more freedom because she can create value for the family on her own.

For children of families like theirs, they are always bound to the interests of the family, the more value they carry, the more their family is willing to indulge them.

Of course, aside from the interests, there is also affection among family members.

Having both is the best situation for them.

But if the two conflict, nine out of ten times, affection will lose out to interests.

No matter what, if a person wants to live freely and willfully, they need to demonstrate sufficient value.
