Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Her son was still out promoting potato planting, but Liu didn't care much about her husband and instead just spent money on enjoying herself.

The eldest granddaughter is working outside and the youngest grandson is still studying. As a woman, she doesn't know how to take care of her husband and children and do more work. Instead, she stays at home waiting to be a wife.

My granddaughter is also unfilial. Doesn't she know how to buy me some more gold and silver jewelry and a few maids to serve me? Grandma Xiao felt resentful.

Besides, she is the old lady in the family, so what's wrong with ordering her granddaughter to do something?

I can't find any fault anywhere.

She was really wronging Liu and Xiao Wan. Even though Liu was being dressed up and enjoyed by her children, she still couldn't sit still and made clothes for her children and husband.

Even the new clothes worn by Grandma Xiao and Grandpa Xiao were made by Liu using the finest soft silk fabrics.

She doesn't work in the fields much now, so she spends all her time making clothes. She is particularly careful when making clothes for the two elderly people, and the stitches are fine and not prickly.

Whenever she made some delicious cakes, meat dishes, etc., she would ask Tian Shuang to bring the newly bought maid to the Xiao family's house to serve them.

Before, Xiao Wan and Grandma Xiao also sent two maids to serve them. Grandma Xiao was very happy. One of the maids served the old couple, and the other helped with the old family's work. It was a wonderful thought.

But when Xiao Wan handed the maid and the indenture to Grandma Xiao, she said that she had previously given her two hundred coins a month as monthly salary, and asked Grandma Xiao to decide how to give it.

Grandma Xiao was confused. What was going on? She had to pay for her granddaughter to send her a maid? That was not okay. Her money would be useful if she kept it.

Anyway, in the end, Grandma Xiao sent the person back, and her words implied that she couldn't afford to support him. Xiao Wan understood what her grandma meant, and it turned out that her grandma was reluctant to pay the monthly allowance.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t pay monthly wages, after all, she has sold her indentures. But Xiao Wan feels that maids are also human beings, and since they have been sold to her, it is only right for her to work for monthly wages.

Xiao Wan could give the monthly allowance to her grandmother, but she was sending it to serve her grandparents, not to help her aunt.

Although she no longer cares about Wang's affairs, it does not mean that she has forgiven her.

Therefore, Xiao Wan took the person back and did not say that she would pay the monthly allowance. Grandma Xiao was a little dumbfounded. Her granddaughter did not play by the rules. Two hundred coins was just a drizzle to her granddaughter. Why couldn't she pay for herself?

Grandma Xiao was very upset for a while because of this, but she had no way to express her grievances. After all, her granddaughter had spent money to buy her and also gave her a birth contract, so she couldn't say she was wrong.

If she didn't pay the maid monthly, Grandma Xiao couldn't bear to let her work for free. If she paid her monthly salary, she would feel bad about it. Therefore, she felt depressed and didn't want to see anyone from the second house for a long time.

When Old Man Xiao found out, he was heartbroken and secretly gave the two elders pocket money, and the amount was quite large each time.

Didn't Liu know this? She just felt that although the family had split up, it was still her duty to respect the elderly. Since the family had the conditions, she should give what she should give. After all, she was also supporting her mother.

Liu understood her husband's feelings. During the holidays, she gave money to the two elders as a gift, including a lot of cloth and other things. She also bought a lot of bracelets, hairpins and other things for Grandma Xiao.

Xiao Wan also made a pair of knee pads for her grandmother with her own hands, which made Grandma Xiao very happy. She felt that she was blessed with children and grandchildren, and kept praising her daughter-in-law and granddaughter for being filial.

Later, Mrs. Liu asked her husband to bring the two elders to live with her for a while so that they could recuperate and her uncle and aunt could have a rest.

But Grandma Xiao was unwilling to do so. Although Liu was puzzled, she did not force her. She just said, "If you don't want to come, then don't come. She will just send some things over there from time to time."

In fact, Grandma Xiao also secretly wanted to stay at her second son's house for a night. After all, her second son's house had a spacious yard, many people to serve him, and the food, clothing and other expenses were beyond the reach of the old family.

But she had other thoughts. Her three sons all had similar family conditions, so she cared about them all and helped those who were able.

But now the second branch has become successful, and her granddaughter has even become a county lord. All the taxes and fees from the fiefdom of Jiyun City belong to her, and no one in the Xiao family dares to bully them anymore.

As the second wife's status and conditions improved, she began to care more about her son who was in worse conditions.

She was not worried about the third wife. After all, the third brother had been good friends with his second brother from the beginning. Both of them worked as housekeepers for the second wife's niece. Their monthly salary must be quite a lot, and his niece would not treat them unfairly.

Xiao Wan also helped her third uncle, third aunt and cousin a lot. Whenever she got good things, she would give most of them to the third wife. The first wife also benefited from it because of herself and the old man.
