Chapter 53 -53 Mother-daughter Talk (1)_1

Seeing that mother seemed to have something to ask, Lin Yuan indeed felt a bit guilty.

Isn’t there a saying that goes “No one knows a daughter better than her mother”?

In fact, she had been intentionally avoiding Lady Liu these past few days.

Lin Jiaxin, being a grown man, failed to notice the changes in his daughter, but a birth mother could see them, of course.

“Da Ya, you, are you keeping something from mother?” Lady Liu touched her daughter’s somewhat rough hands.

She had always doted on her daughter and never let her do any manual labor.

But over the past six months, ah, her hands had become rough from working.

How would she marry in the future?

Lin Yuan now truly felt uneasy: “Mother, why did you suddenly ask this?” Could she have seen that she was no longer the Lin Yuan she used to be?

Lady Liu caressed her daughter’s cheek with pity: “Silly child, the things you bought today, your father didn’t see, and the little ones wouldn’t understand, but mother knows.

That must have cost quite a bit of silver, right?

Where did you get the silver from?”

So it was about that.

Lin Yuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, about to say it was from splitting the family assets.

Yet, seeing Lady Liu’s bright, wise eyes, she couldn’t speak those words.

Despite her mother’s frail health and meek character, she had a clear mind and sharp judgment.

Didn’t both Lin Jiaxin and Lin Yuan think their neighbor Chen Zhu was a good person?

It was Lady Liu who discerned that this lad wasn’t a good match for her daughter, right?

Having no other choice, Lin Yuan told her mother everything about her ventures in town, including how she sold recipes to Fuman Building as the Frog Princess and also sold the dried goji berries.

Of course, to ease her mother’s worries, she omitted mentioning the incident where the fat man nearly harassed her at Shande Hall.

Lady Liu, upon hearing her daughter’s words, had an unnaturally green complexion, obviously shaken by what she’d been told.

She asked with curiosity: “Frogs can be made into food?

How did you know that?”

“It was told to me by neighbor Chen Zhu.” Lin Yuan once again mourned for the Chen Zhu she’d never met. frёewebnoѵēl.com

She had no choice but to use this excuse.

In her heart, she couldn’t help but wickedly imagine what her mother’s reaction would be if she knew she had tasted snake soup.

However, compared to making money through business, what mattered more to a mother was her daughter’s lifelong happiness: “Da Ya, tell mother, did Zhuzi say anything to you when he left that day?

Anything at all?”

Say anything?

Lin Yuan looked puzzled.

“I mean, did he make any promises to you, like when he would come back to marry you?” Lady Liu’s eyes shone brightly, truly beautiful.

Lin Yuan suddenly understood; her mother was interested in the progress between the two of them.

Since it was brought up, Lin Yuan felt she needed to share her current thoughts with her mother.

After all, she was no longer the Lin Yuan of the past, and her feelings about Chen Zhu had changed.

If she cleared things up now, she might save a lot of trouble.

“Mother, I think Brother Zhuzi is quite good, but…”

“But what?

Did he bully you?”

Feeling Lady Liu’s noticeable tension, Lin Yuan hurriedly patted her hand and said with a smile, “Mother, that delicate scholar doesn’t have the guts to bully your daughter.

Don’t forget, I’m now known in the village as quite the shrewish, headstrong woman!”

It was meant to put Lady Liu at ease, but it only made her feel more heartache.

Who would want their daughter to have such a reputation?

She already had the nickname Little Disaster Star, and now with the added labels of shrewish and headstrong, decent families’ sons would surely not want such a girl.

Even if the boys themselves didn’t mind, what about their parents?

Hadn’t the father of neighbor Chen Zhu looked down on her because of her reputation as Little Disaster Star?

Seeing her mother’s worried expression, Lin Yuan truly wanted to slap herself.

Why, out of everything, did she have to mention that?

She hurriedly changed the subject: “Mother, I’ve been thinking a lot these past half-month.

I feel that even though Brother Zhuzi is a good person and well-educated, and might even become a high-ranking official in the future, the chances of us coming together are incredibly slim.

Even if Brother Zhuzi keeps his promise to come back and marry me, do you think a country girl like me, who can’t even write her own name well, would be of any use to his future career?

I guess, Uncle Chen probably saw this and that’s why he doesn’t like me.”
