Chapter 109: Her Daughter-in-Law Is Truly Wonderful

Chapter 109: Her Daughter-in-Law Is Truly Wonderful

If they really work for three to five years, perhaps they could buy a courtyard in the town.

Then, their old Liu family could finally hold their heads high.

While the Liu family was happy, the Song family was truly jubilant at this time.

Mrs. Liu told those who came to sell goods to their home about moving into the city and having the Liu family take over their business afterward, as her daughter-in-law had suggested.

This made the villagers who came to sell goods envious.

One by one, they began to flatter and even fawn over Mrs. Liu.

It was a great comfort to Mrs. Liu, who had previously been looked down upon and even scorned by the villagers.

The next day, news that the Song family had bought a house in town and was moving spread throughout Xiashui Village.

The Song family was unaware of this at the moment.

This morning, the entire Song family went into the city with Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao first sent his family to their new home before delivering goods to the tavern and restaurant.

After entering the courtyard, Mrs. Liu and the others were stunned.

They couldn’t believe that this large courtyard would be their future home.

Supported by Song Yun, Song Que introduced the yard to his mother and sister-in-law.

He also assigned rooms to everyone.

The family first visited the main room, storeroom, and kitchen together.

Then, Mrs. Liu supported Song Que to his room.

The two children ran happily to their own rooms.

Seeing Mrs. Liu looking at her room from time to time, Song Que smiled.

"Mother, why don't you go and have a look?" he said.

"I—I'll help you sit down first," Mrs. Liu said, blushing and stuttering slightly.

She had been caught by her eldest son. As a mother, she felt a little embarrassed for being so uncomposed.

Song Que didn’t say much and allowed Mrs. Liu to help him sit down behind the desk.

Then, he reminded Mrs. Liu to visit her room.

This time, Mrs. Liu didn’t refuse and left the room with a happy heart.

Hearing the excited voices of the two children outside, Song Que couldn’t help but smile again.

The family was so satisfied with just a courtyard and a few rooms.

Such days were truly wonderful…

Smiling and listening for a while, Song Que started grinding ink and prepared to continue copying books.

Everyone in the family was working hard to make their family better. He should also do his part.

In Song Yun’s room at this time,

The little girl discovered that not only did her room have a bed and a cabinet, but it also had a dressing table and a bronze mirror.

There was even a dressing box, hair ties, and a comb. After exclaiming in delight for a while, she almost cried when she looked at herself in the bronze mirror.

Needless to say, these things must have been prepared for her by her sister-in-law.

Her sister-in-law was too good to her!

After sitting in front of the bronze mirror for a while and restraining the urge to comb her hair with the comb, Song Yun got up after a long time.

Then, she sat down behind the small desk in the outer room of her room.

Running her small hands over the Four Treasures of the Study on the desk, the little girl finally couldn’t help but shed tears.

Her father and elder brother were scholars, so she naturally knew how expensive these things were.

It was understandable for her sister-in-law to buy these things for her elder brother and Ye’er, but she was a girl. How could she not be moved that her sister-in-law had bought them for her?

Meanwhile, in Song Ye’s room,

The little boy was clearly not as composed as his sister. After seeing the big bed in the room, he quickly pounced onto it and rolled around on the large bed.

This bed was so big, more than twice the size of the small bed he slept on in Xiashui Village.

Also, the bedding on the bed was new, fragrant, and comfortable.

Wah, what should he do if he didn’t want to return to Xiashui Village and sleep in that small bed again?

At this time, Mrs. Liu also entered her room.

After seeing the furnishings in the room, she was stunned.

There was no need to mention the bed and the large wardrobe.

The dressing table and the items on it soon caught her attention.

She sat down and gazed at the bronze mirror for a while before she couldn't resist reaching out to touch it, tears welling up in her eyes after a long while.

It had been years since she had seen a bronze mirror...

Seeing herself in the bronze mirror today, she realized that she had truly aged. She was much older than she used to be...

After a while, Lady Liu got up from the dressing table.

In the outer room, she went to look at an embroidery frame placed there.

Touching the embroidery frame, Lady Liu's eyes welled up with tears once again.

Her embroidery skills were excellent, but because she didn't have an embroidery frame and the environment at home wasn't suitable for embroidery, she could only take on simple embroidery jobs, which meant she couldn't earn much money.

When she was in Xiashui Village, she dreamed of having an embroidery frame and sitting in a quiet and comfortable environment to do embroidery.

But she knew that her family couldn't afford an embroidery frame.

And the messy thatched shed also couldn't meet the conditions for her to do complex embroidery work.

But now, she had an embroidery frame. And she had this spacious and comfortable room.

It was all thanks to her eldest daughter-in-law who had done all these things for her.

Her eldest daughter-in-law treated her even more filially than a biological daughter would. She was so moved!

She decided that she needed to be better to her eldest daughter-in-law and treat her like a real daughter!

With that thought, Lady Liu left the room.

Then she headed towards the kitchen.

After inspecting the kitchen and praising her eldest daughter-in-law for her good eye in buying the house and furnishing it comprehensively, she left the kitchen.

Then she called her daughter out and asked her to go to the market with her.

Hearing that her mother wanted to buy vegetables at the market to prepare a nice lunch to reward her eldest sister-in-law, Song Yun naturally agreed.

After arranging for Song Ye to stay behind and take care of Song Que, she fetched a basket from under the eaves, put it on her back, and left the house with her mother.

Although the mother and daughter weren't familiar with the nearby streets, they had listened to Qin Xiaoyao describe the general location of the West Market last night.

So after asking two passersby, they found their way to the West Market, which wasn't far from their home.

"Mom, it's so lively here!" It had been over a year since Song Yun last came to Lingquan Town for the market day. Seeing the bustling West Market, she felt both excited and a little afraid, fearing that she might get lost.

Lady Liu was slightly better off, but she still seemed a bit awkward.

"It's naturally lively. The West Market is one of the four major markets in Lingquan Town, and it has the most people and the cheapest goods." She spoke louder to her daughter.

Firstly, the market was lively, and if she spoke too softly, she was afraid her daughter wouldn't hear clearly.

Secondly, speaking louder could also boost her own courage.

Song Yun immediately looked at her mother with admiration.

Her mother knew more than she did.

Seeing her daughter's gaze, Lady Liu felt quite pleased with herself.

"Alright, let's go buy some vegetables!"

"If we come across anything we're lacking at home, buy it. We can't always have your eldest sister-in-law pay for everything." After thinking about it, Lady Liu added.

As she spoke, she patted her purse.

She had earned quite a bit of money recently from making straw shoes and helping with the harvest.

Today, she had come to town prepared and brought most of her savings.

Seeing this, Song Yun also smiled and patted her purse.

"Hehe, Mom, I brought money too!" she said with a smile.

She hadn't had the chance to come to town before, so she had made full preparations for this trip.

Lady Liu was amused by her daughter.
