Chapter 54 -54 Mother-Daughter Talk (2)_1
Lady Liu looked at her daughter with a hint of shock. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
These were the words she had wanted to say long ago, and she had mentioned them more than once to Lin Jiaxin, but his practical mindset always prevailed.
Seeing Chen Zhu treating his daughter well, he believed she was overthinking.
But what mother doesn’t wish the best for her daughter?
Yet does “best” necessarily mean marrying a high-ranking official or a wealthy businessman?
She didn’t think so; to her, the best was a man who cherishes his woman and always puts her first—just like Lin Jiaxin did for her.
This was why Lady Liu didn’t have high hopes for Chen Zhu, who was single-mindedly focused on becoming a high-ranking official.
In the past, she had thought her daughter was simply enchanted by Chen Zhu and didn’t think far ahead, but now she realized, to her surprise, that after today’s conversation, her girl saw things even more clearly and further into the future than she had—indeed, she had grown up.
“Da Ya, have you really thought it through, or are you just saying these things to ease your mother’s mind?”
Seeing that Lady Liu was still not fully at ease, Lin Yuan giggled, “Mom, I’ve really thought it through.
And, you know, even if I were to marry a man in the future, I wouldn’t marry someone who only knows how to read books and can’t do anything else.
I would marry a man who can make money and is obedient.”
Lady Liu was amused by her daughter’s words, she laughed and gave her a playful slap on the hand, scolding, “Silly girl, where do you see a girl marrying a man?
It’s called getting married.”
Lin Yuan just smiled, not saying a word, but in her heart, she disagreed.
In her previous time, there were plenty of men who would leave home and travel far for a woman—wasn’t that true love?
After their conversation and the earlier meat chopping in the kitchen, Lady Liu was clearly exhausted.
Lin Yuan quickly helped her to the west room to rest.
Lin Yuan herself didn’t have the habit of taking a nap, so she went back to the kitchen to finish chopping the rest of the meat that Lady Liu hadn’t finished.
Now that the weather was hot and she’d bought too much meat without considering it, she planned to make pure meat buns that evening.
She first sliced off the two pieces of pork skin, which were too tough but could be used for soup later.
Then she cut off the layer of smelly fat attached to the skin—this smelly fat was precious.
She would fry it in a large pot, add some salt, and turn it into lard, stored in a bowl for when frying vegetables or making pancakes.
Adding a spoonful of it would make the food delicious.
After finishing that, all that was left was the pork belly with alternating layers of fat and lean meat.
She minced one piece to make the filling, and the other she cut into small chunks, coated each in salt, and neatly stacked them in a jar.
With salt to preserve them, the pork chunks could last for days.
It had already been over an hour as she placed the minced meat into a bowl.
The dough still needed another half an hour to rise properly, so she decided to prepare the filling.
But after searching the entire kitchen, she couldn’t find any green onions or vegetables.
It was then she remembered using the last of the onions the day before.
As time allowed and her sisters Lin Wei had woken up, she decided to go have a look at the land allocated to Xi Touer.
The land at Xi Touer didn’t yield much grain, so Lady Yang, reluctant to spend money, didn’t want to invest in planting crops there.
However, Lin Jiaxin was hardworking and couldn’t bear to let the land lie fallow.
He planted various low-cost vegetables and onions, acquiring seeds bit by bit from others.
As a result, the plots were somewhat haphazard, with clumps of onions here and patches of cabbage there.
Previously, their father took care of these plots, and if people had been diligent about it in these past six months, there should be plenty of vegetables, green onions, and cilantro ready for harvest.
