Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich-Chapter 261 - 246 Got Another Idea

Meng Zhaojun had not yet spoken her angrier rebuttal when her mother stopped her from speaking.

"Jun’er must not be disrespectful!"

Mrs. Meng did not understand why her daughter was so harsh towards the little girl over two years old before her.

Faced with her daughter’s hostile difficulty towards others, as a mother, she should have sided with her daughter, but she could not bring herself to be harsh to the beautifully delicate little girl, joining her daughter in making things difficult.

Furthermore, since their arrival, they had done nothing out of line, yet her daughter’s treatment of them was based solely on their social status, how was this any different from those who look down on farmers?

If it came to that, her daughter’s ancestors for many generations had been farmers, and even though their status was different now, she shouldn’t behave that way, as it could affect others’ opinions of her daughter.

It could also lead to harmful rumors for them as a couple, a child of a local official looking down on farmers from the county was not a topic that should arise!

Seeing her mother’s inclination towards the Ye family girl, it was one thing for Shunyan to be involved, but having her own mother side with them too, Meng Zhaojun could not understand her mother’s painstaking intentions and petulantly let her spoiled temper flare, pouting her lips.

Mrs. Meng sighed internally; after all, she came from a family of scholars, and the way they spoke was always roundabout, never showing any expressions on their faces.

Now that it was her turn to educate her daughter, she felt somewhat unsuccessful. Her daughter seemed naturally smart, quickly learning anything, resulting in her developing more pride and temperament than ordinary people.

At this moment, Mrs. Meng already had some ideas; if her husband passed the assessment this time and made it to the Capital City, having someone from the family teach her daughter etiquette could lead to a different outcome.

The only other option was to have someone from the family come here to teach her daughter, but she hoped more for the former, not wanting to stay forever in this small county city.

They had been here for six years already, during which she could only go back once. The last assessment was failed because her husband’s abilities were still insufficient to bring more progress to the people. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Their children were born here. She terribly missed her family and had been teased about marrying into this life but impulsively followed her husband here.

Both her children and her husband must prove themselves; only then could her family have the chance to move to the Capital City and become part of high society.

A minor hiccup occurred earlier, but when those making things difficult ceased, the Ye family sent gifts.

The Ye family all dressed in their finest clothes, seeing the living room filled with people in luxurious clothes, knowing they could not compare, had no choice but to stand quietly without seats given by the host.

Tang Shunyan really wanted the wet nurse and her family to sit down, but he felt it would seem unnatural for them to sit here in his house, where only those of truly high status were seated.

Getting them invitations this time was already a significant gesture, just to see them and for the gifts received today.

The Ye family members stood aside somewhat awkwardly; Mrs. Lai’s plump body couldn’t handle standing, and she had to lean on two little maids, putting some of her weight on them, causing the maids some difficulty.

Mrs. Lai longed to use this opportunity to get acquainted with the rich ladies, usually endlessly gossiping and cursing others.

In front of these rich ladies from wealthy families, she wanted to chat but couldn’t think of a good topic on the spot and stood quietly on the side, behaving well.

Later, more guests arrived, and the hall was packed with people. Madam Tang had her maid arrange for the Ye family to go outside and find a place to sit.

After all, they had a baby with them, and there were men and elderly people present; allowing them just to stand was too inconsiderate.

The Ye family members were led outside, Mrs. Lai looked reluctantly at the noble ladies, regretting that she hadn’t found topics to approach them with earlier.

In Mrs. Lai’s dim-sighted eyes, she could not see that others were not interested in her, hardly even looking her in the eye. They were interested in her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren.

Both Hongji and his father, not knowing where to put their hands and feet earlier, regretted that they had not waited in the garden; encountering some women of the house inside, the family children were distressed and could not say a word.

The Ye family members had to walk out, but Tang Shunyan couldn’t keep sitting. He had been in his seat for an hour just to be seen by the incoming guests as the main character.
