Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Chapter 475: Smiling Even While Sleeping

Liu helped her father up and complained angrily, "Dad, what are you doing? Why are you knocking on a hairpin? This is a gift from the emperor to your granddaughter. It belongs to your granddaughter. As long as you don't sell it, your granddaughter gave it to you, so you should keep it. The emperor loves his people like his own children and won't criticize him."

Old Man Liu wiped his sweat and stood up awkwardly. Thinking about how he had lost face in front of his daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter, his face turned red.

Father Xiao was smart now. He pretended to be scared and said deliberately: "Oh, father, don't talk about you. I later found out that the master who saved me was the emperor. I was so scared at that time that I couldn't sleep well for several days."

"I was afraid that if I didn't serve him well enough, the emperor would blame me and my family would be in danger. Fortunately, your granddaughter comforted me, saying that the emperor loves his people like his own children and won't hold grudges against us ordinary people. I finally felt relieved."

"Your granddaughter also said that the emperor also said before he left that if there is a chance in the future, he and the imperial concubine will come to our place and play chess with our old man Liu."

Old Man Xiao’s last words were not false. The emperor did say these words at that time. Although these words cannot be taken seriously, it is very face-saving to say them out loud.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the redness on Old Man Liu's face faded, his hunched back slowly straightened up, and a smile filled his face.

"Really, son-in-law, the emperor really said that. I was wondering at that time how could such a rich and noble master treat people so kindly and graciously? It turned out to be the emperor. The emperor treats us common people very well." Old Man Liu's face returned to normal and he said excitedly.

Liu glared at Old Man Xiao, but there was praise in her eyes. She didn't expect that her husband, who had always been dull, would be so smart today and make Old Man Xiao laugh.

He has really improved a lot, Liu thought sweetly in her heart.

Seeing that Mrs. Meng and Old Man Liu were no longer nervous, Mrs. Liu hurriedly gave the things to the two elders. Mrs. Meng looked at her son-in-law's face with some hesitation, fearing that accepting so many valuable things would make her son-in-law feel uncomfortable.

But Old Man Xiao also advised them and said that if it was not enough they could buy more.

Mrs. Meng waved her hands repeatedly, knowing that her son-in-law was sincere. She was happy for her daughter and felt relieved at the same time.

In this way, with these things given by her daughter, she will have something to show off when she recognizes her relatives.

But because of the eldest daughter-in-law, Meng didn't want to go too far and only chose a gold bracelet as a recognition gift.

After all, the Chen family's dowry was really generous, and Meng couldn't be too stingy. As for the eldest daughter-in-law, she gave the pair of jade bracelets to each of her two daughters-in-law, one each, and passed them down when they had their own daughters-in-law.

As for the two gold hairpins, Meng secretly planned not to take them out for the time being and keep them for later.

Although the eldest daughter-in-law is much better now than before, Meng still wants to see how she performs in the future before deciding whether to give one gold hairpin to each of her two sisters-in-law.

But her daughter spent so much, and her granddaughter actually gave her the jewelry bestowed by the emperor. Meng was already uneasy, but her granddaughter and son-in-law looked at her with a smile, without any unhappiness on their faces. Instead, they felt that the gift was not enough.

Only then did Meng feel relieved, accepted her daughter's kindness, and put all the things into the inner room.

The family was sitting together when the eldest uncle Liu Yanzhi and the eldest aunt Shen came in, holding a small box, a killed chicken and a piece of meat.

Seeing the Liu family of three coming, he greeted them warmly.

The two men were dressed neatly and cleanly, and brought some things with them. Liu was happy to see them.

Finally, my elder brother and his wife no longer live in a muddle-headed way as before, and their smiles now are no longer filled with the calculations and calculations of the past.

I heard from my mother, Mrs. Meng, that my eldest brother and his wife often came to visit the old couple, and they never came empty-handed. They would wash clothes for the old couple from time to time.

Whenever we cook something delicious at home, we always send a bowl to the old couple.

The grandchildren are also different from before.

My granddaughter now helps with the family work and behaves much more politely.

The grandson raises ducks to supply his granddaughter's shop, which is getting busier and busier. He no longer hangs out with those second-rate people he used to. The old couple are no longer dissatisfied.

The family of four worked diligently and worked together to raise ducks. Their lives became more and more prosperous, and the old family also built a new house.

Mrs. Meng and Old Man Liu both fall asleep with a smile on their face every day.
