Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Chapter 285 Leisure Chapter

Take their daughter for example. I'm not looking down on her. She has a good heart, is kind and generous, and can be considered pretty. She also knows some needlework. But compared with her eldest nephew, they are really not a good match.

When Fu Qiu Shuang heard her aunt's words, she remembered the chaos at home because of her cousin's marriage.

When I heard that Fu Qiuyue was going to marry my cousin, I felt deeply sorry for him.

Her cousin was such a mighty young general with good character. He loved her, her younger brother, and Fu Qiuyue and her siblings equally.

He never distinguished between them based on whether they were legitimate or illegitimate children, perhaps because he was the youngest and he took good care of his younger brothers.

My younger brother admires my cousin very much. Not only is my cousin good at martial arts and a great general, he is also very good at academics and literature.

Fu Qiushuang lamented that her cousin was able to marry her cousin, and that their Fu family was really lucky.

However, Fu Qiuyue always treated her cousin as her own possession, and was always unhappy when she saw her cousin getting close to them. She would not say anything in front of them, but only flattered them in front of her grandmother.

The grandmother naturally sided with her own granddaughter. She couldn't do anything to the siblings, so she always made the excuse of being unwell and asked her mother to serve them without any discrimination, and she couldn't even complain.

Because serving the mother-in-law is a natural thing to do, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Therefore, when their cousin came again, they didn't dare to show any closeness, for fear that their grandmother would find another excuse to bully her mother.

Fu Qiuyue always laughed at the siblings with pride. Fu Qiushuang and Fu Jinhuai were sensible and never told their parents about it to avoid causing trouble for them.

Now, when they heard their aunt say that their cousin had a lover, the expressions of the whole family changed a little, and there was some hesitation on their faces.

Yue stopped looking at her husband and continued talking to Fu. She hesitated as she spoke, "I'm sure you're also pleased with this girl. From what you said, Miss Xiao was personally appointed as the Princess of Huide by His Majesty. Is there a reason for this?"

When Mrs. Fu mentioned Xiao Wan, her face was full of smiles. "This child is also kind-hearted. She found a kind of food called potatoes. They have a high yield, can fill the stomach, and taste good. With these potatoes, our Da Yuan can feed more people."

"The emperor, in recognition of her achievements, granted her the title of Princess of Huide County and the fiefdom of Jiyun City. Her father was also granted the title of village elder."

"Of course I'm satisfied. This child is outstanding in both appearance and ability, and he takes great care of me."

"She also knows some medical knowledge. It was she who took care of my health." Fu talked about Xiao Wan with great enthusiasm and praise.

Yue's eyebrows twitched: "She is a good girl. Although she grew up in the countryside, she has quite a bit of knowledge."

"Indeed, that girl is good in every way. I like her very much. Her parents are also very kind people. The three of us have been well taken care of by them in Kaoshan Village."

When Fu Qiushuang heard that her cousin's sweetheart was a county lady who came from a peasant family, she couldn't help but feel curious, and vaguely admired and envious.

To be able to gain the emperor's attention with her own efforts, she must not be an ordinary woman.

"But although she is a county lady, she grew up in the countryside. Why didn't you choose a wife for Mingyuan from a noble family in the capital?" Yue was a little puzzled.

Fu knew her sister-in-law had no other intentions. She smiled faintly, patted her sister-in-law's hand and said, "I used to think the same thing, but before leaving the capital, apart from Lord Zhao Xian to see me off and Erlang to help, none of the noble ladies who used to call me sisters came forward."

"They are afraid of being implicated by the Zhao family, or even being laughed at. Those who were interested in my son and proposed marriage to him many times now never mention it and stay away from him." When Fu said this, there was a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth.

"Although I don't go out often in Kaoshan Village, I know the people there are simple and honest. The Xiao family is especially warm and kind. Huide County Master's mother also took good care of me. Now that my status has changed, the Xiao family hasn't been fawning or flattering us. I think this is very rare."

Yue and Fu Erlang remained silent, feeling ashamed and embarrassed for their family, even though their family might not need it.

Yue was silent for a moment, then opened her mouth, somewhat hesitant, not wanting to upset her sister at this moment.

But she despised the behavior of her husband's family and her elder uncle. Instead of being forced by her mother-in-law and caught off guard, it would be better to tell her elder sister-in-law in advance so that she would have an idea.

After thinking about it, she decided to tell everyone about her family's plan, and also told Fu about the twists and turns in Fu Qiuyue's marriage, reminding her to be careful.

Fu Erlang felt that it was not a good idea, but after thinking about it, he did not stop his wife. After all, he also felt that his elder brother was not kind.
