Country Maiden: Fields and Fortune

334, Good or Not (6th Update)

“…” Xuan Mu pursed his lips, “Since Brother Wang has made up his mind, I will not insist on holding you back. Then, I’ll visit you another day to read together!”

“Alright!” Wang Shaoyu agreed.

He had someone fetch his belongings and bid farewell to Xuan Mu.

Xuan Mu walked him to the door, seeing that he had walked over, “Let me send you back in the carriage!”

“No need, walking over is also good, it’s just a moment anyway. I’ll get there quickly, and since we sit so much while reading, it’s nice to take a walk!”

In the end, Xuan Mu did not insist and watched Wang Shaoyu leave.

He stood at the door, fell silent for a moment, then turned and went back inside the house.

Wang Shaoyu was in high spirits, especially since the manor was tidied up very nicely. Zhinuan did not match him with any servant boys, so he had to do many things by himself.

He quite enjoyed this way of life.

Over at the Zhu Family’s side, they had moved to the wing room, and life was very different. Mistress Zhang and old Mistress Zhang both loved cleanliness, and tidied everything up spotlessly, even cleaning up the cabin thoroughly and letting the second and third Zhu brothers continue living in the cabin.

They had also prepared nets, planning to catch some fish and shrimp.

“Master, your tea!” Mistress Zhang said with a smile, standing to one side.

“I mentioned to you the other day about taking you to see a doctor. It got dark, and I forgot about it. Today, no matter what time he comes, you must come back with me. Call your husband as well, and let the doctor check him too. Having a child is not just one person’s business!”

Xie Rong snorted and got up to go outside.

Uncle Ya also became restless and got up to follow outside.

Mistress Zhang’s face flushed red, and she stammered a “Thank you, master!”

“…”

Xie Zhinuan tapped her forehead.

She was quite helpless, “In the future, I also want to study medicine. In a doctor’s eyes, there is no distinction between male and female, no privacy!”

“…” Mistress Zhang pursed her lips.

Admiration filled her eyes, “Master also wants to study medicine?”

“Mmm, I want to give it a try. Although I don’t know how long it will take to achieve even a little success, If one continues to learn as one grows, there will eventually come a day when one can become a famous doctor!”

“I believe that the master will surely become a famous doctor, because you are especially kind-hearted!”

Xie Zhinuan smiled.

She did not say much.

She was never a person of great kindness; every so-called contribution had an equivalent return, or even more.

Like with the Zhu Family, she was considering the reassurance of using them in the future, making them loyal by giving them many privileges and letting them enjoy what she provided. If they wanted to continue enjoying these things, they had to earnestly work and do tasks for her. If they were to betray, everything would be taken back.

Having been through too many hard times, they naturally wanted to live better days, and only after living well would they cherish it.

And they would not want to lose the opportunity to live well.

Unless someone gave them much, much more, so much that they could betray without a second thought.

When the boat stopped at the shore, Xie Zhinuan got off with Xie Rong and Uncle Fu, while the Zhu father and sons were casting nets to catch fish by the river. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started preparing lunch.

Their cooking skills were not bad, especially with Xie Zhinuan providing meat, spices, rice, and flour, which allowed them to prepare dishes full of color, fragrance, and taste.

Xie Zhinuan, along with others, arrived at the manor. The steward came forward to greet them, still wearing brand new clothes, though not the same as before.

“…”

Xie Zhinuan pursed her lips.

People from a few households came out, looking at Xie Zhinuan with curiosity and confusion.

“I am your new landlord. Today, I’ve come to have a look and also to arrange a few things. Now, tell me your thoughts on this manor, any suggestions, and what expectations you have for future life!” Xie Zhinuan spoke, turning her gaze toward the children at the door.

The elder and the younger, about a dozen or so, each one clad in garments full of patches, their faces pallid and bodies lean, looking pitiful.

Xie Rong was instructed to bring up a chest.@@novelbin@@

Xie Zhinuan waved to them, a gentle and tender smile on her face, “Come here!”
