Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich-Chapter 228 - 227 Sending Gifts

Chapter 228: Chapter 227 Sending Gifts

Hongji had already become the pillar of this family, the children’s father, and the current head of the household, calling upon the two teachers, he was the first to speak up and say:

“Hehe, you must be Mr. Mo and Mrs. Mo. Please come inside and have a seat.”

The five Ye sisters also followed suit in giving their respects, addressing them both as teacher.

Mrs. Li stood to one side, cradling her son, and also smilingly invited Mrs. Mo, asking the couple to come into the living room and sit.

Hongji’s father thoughtfully directed the two guards accompanying the couple to another living room on the side to have tea!

Mr. and Mrs. Mo politely returned the gesture to the couple and were very pleased with the courteous attitude of these farmer girls.

In a letter from Mrs. Zhao, they were asked to teach the Tang Family’s children, as well as several girls from the countryside, which they found rather strange. Could this family be rich?

Generally, rich men in wealthy families look down on them a bit in front of other rich families, and a small rural rich man could hardly match a city rich man’s wife.

This might be a relative of Mrs. Tang’s family or an important client they greatly valued; otherwise, they would not have taken such good care of them.

It was only after arriving at the Tang Family that they realized that this was not the case. This family was merely ordinary farmers, perhaps only acquaintances of the Tang Family.

And it was a young Master’s wet nurse’s family, which was somewhat special. Her husband was a carver, and the couple had even started a farm. Her daughter was valued by the Tang Family, especially by the student young Master.

The couple had long wanted to know what exactly was so appealing about these peasant women, whether they were clever and agile or if they looked unusually different!

Among the girls, there were more than five, and the eldest, almost seventeen years old, was of marrying age and likely would not continue studying.

The couple thought that upon meeting Ye Shuzhen, even if she stopped studying piano, she would still occupy resources, indicating a domineering nature, which revealed inherited traits.

After a maid served Mr. and Mrs. Mo honey tea, Hongji offered them gifts to honor his teacher and had his daughter pay her respects to the two teachers.

The couple felt that the gift offered was probably not very grand, but they happily accepted it nonetheless.

When they arrived at the classroom where lessons were held, they saw that the musical instruments were exactly the same as those at the Tang Family. It seemed the Tang Family also equipped them with instruments, taking the Ye family’s children seriously.

Then they noticed that there were only six flutes among the instruments, and the others were only five in number.

This did not affect their teaching. They could start by imparting basic practice methods to the children.

There was no need for them to play songs yet, nor did the teacher have to perform for them.

Mr. and Mrs. Mo also noticed that among the five girls, a girl of just over a year old quickly learned the basic techniques of playing the piano. The teacher showed her once, and she remembered and learned it very well.

Then they met another girl, in her teens, who came in holding a piano to learn.

There was another student, and possibly due to her older age, she did not memorize as well as the younger students.

As a teacher, Mr. Mo was very patient in teaching, and it was not convenient for him to teach the older students, such as Ye Shuzhen. It had to be his wife who taught her.

After this day, the Ye family’s children learned musical instruments under the teacher, who taught them every few days, and they also studied in their spare time.

Ye Shuzhen occasionally played haphazardly, bringing noise to this rural household.

The Ye family bid farewell to the teacher who had come to work part-time for the first time and presented him with some daily necessities.

Mrs. Lai watched as her son and daughter-in-law gave these two teachers so many items; she didn’t know what was included in the gifts, but she knew the fruits, vegetables, meat, and rice were worth quite a sum.

She almost jumped out to stop it but managed to hold back from saying harsh words. It was Hongji’s father who stopped her with a look.

After the teachers had left, Mrs. Lai muttered a few words in front of her son, complaining that he was too generous. How could one hire a teacher like this? It would cost a fortune in the future.

Hongji consoled his mother, saying that those items weren’t valuable. Though they could be exchanged for money, they were mere common items in the eyes of the teacher.

Mrs. Lai didn’t agree with her son’s perspective, but the items were already given away, and nagging was of no use. She could only be more cautious in the future to prevent her son and daughter-in-law from being too generous.

She sighed and nagged all evening about how they were wasting the hard-earned money by spending it carelessly.

Mr. and Mrs. Mo went to the Ye family to work as teachers and upon returning, opened their gifts to find a silver note of 50 taels, honey, some dried longan and lychee fruits.

They also brought back some millet, rice, fruits, vegetables, chicken, ducks, and eggs, even including chicken and duck meat.

They stored these items in the small kitchen in the courtyard, which would serve as their source of sustenance for their cooking over the next few days.

They hadn’t given up on the Tang Family’s big kitchen, knowing that they didn’t lack such trinkets there.

They also knew that the Tang family’s kitchen bought the freshest vegetables from the Ye estate every day.

The rice they ate was also bought from the Ye family, which was harvested from the rice grains they purchased rather than grown by the Tang family. Even though the same variety was grown by the Tang family, it somehow didn’t taste as good as the rice bought from the Ye family.

Zhong Xingwang felt a bit regretful for not going with his elder sister and brother-in-law to the Ye family for the first time as he was occupied. After they returned, he had someone invite him to dine in his sister’s courtyard, enjoying the gifts from the Ye family.

The rice was fragrant, and the fruits, vegetables, meat, and eggs were delicious.

Zhong Xingwang regretted not accompanying them and decided that next time his sister and brother-in-law visited the Ye estate, he would definitely join them.

He was curious about what kind of estate could produce such delicious fruits, vegetables, poultry, and eggs!

He also realized that eating in an inn or a restaurant, mentioning that the produce was bought from the Ye estate, meant they were all sourced from the same place.

“Sister, the next time you go to the Ye family, please let me know in advance. I want to visit their estate too,” he said.

“Little brother, are you interested in seeing their agricultural methods? Our little brother has grown up.”

Since Mrs. Mo knew her younger brother wasn’t just here to play but could also handle important tasks such as buying land and building houses, she felt very relieved. The little brother who used to follow behind her had grown up and could now handle some matters on his own!

“Yes, sister, I’m quite curious about their plantation methods, how they differ from ours, and how it might enhance our own yield,” he replied.

Mr. Mo, who hadn’t spoken until then, had never visited the Ye estate. Being a farmer himself, he noticed that the planting conditions in the South were much better than in the North, such as water sources and climate issues.

Joining in the conversation with his siblings, he said, “Perhaps this is also influenced by the differences in the soil, water quality, and climate.”

Mrs. Mo didn’t understand much about this but smiled anyway, feeling that having a look might not be a bad idea after all.
