Chapter 14: Both the eldest and second daughter are the same (2)

In the original book, the great uncle was a man who was very concerned about the family's heir. After learning that Wei Qingwan was not a legitimate bloodline of the Wei family, he became very cold towards her, and might not agree to let Wei Qingwan, who was not related to him by blood, be his eldest granddaughter.

So instead of arguing with Wei Mingting and Yun Shi here, it was better to leave the problem to the great uncle, and let Wei Mingting and her wife argue with the great uncle.

For the next three days, Wei Ruo lived a fairly peaceful life and got a general idea of the overall situation in the mansion.

The economic situation of the Wei family was not very good. The wealth of Bo Zhongyi's mansion had been squandered for a long time, and now it was just supporting the Wei family’s prestige.

And in Xingshan County, her father Wei Mingting was still only a sixth-rank Colonel. With a limited salary, he had to support this big family.

She heard that the progress of the anti-Pirates war was not going well, and the emperor was very dissatisfied with the officials in Taizhou Prefecture. Wei Mingting was lucky enough not to be dismissed, not to mention getting promoted.

Of course, even a scrawny camel is bigger than a horse* and it was still better than her adoptive parents, the He family.

*even a scrawny camel is bigger than a horse:  even after suffering a loss, a rich person is still better off than ordinary people.

Yun Shi would visit Wei Ruo every day, bringing her some food and clothes.

Wei Mingting was very busy and did not come home for several days. Not only Wei Ruo could not see him anymore, even Yun Shi could not see him.

The elder brother Wei Yichen was busy with his studies, so he did not come often. But every time he came, he always brought Wei Ruo some local snacks from Xingshan County, and told Wei Ruo about the customs and traditions of Xingshan County.

Wei Yilin had never been here before. Once, he passed by Wei Ruo's door and exchanged a distant glance with Wei Ruo. With just one glance, he arrogantly turned his head away and walked away quickly.

Wei Qingwan came several times and always brought something to give her. But every time she came, she looked like she was about to cry, so Wei Ruo urged her to go back.

In the remaining time, Wei Ruo saw Mo mo Li the most, who was ordered to teach her the rules.

But Mo mo Li didn't teach her sincerely. And if Wei Ruo behaved lazily, she didn't care much and just let it go.

On the fourth day, Wei Ruo had a free day and did not have to learn the rules from Mo mo Li.

Wei Ruo had breakfast in her room and asked Xiumei to find her a hoe.

She took a look at a vacant area on the west side of the yard and planned to use it for growing vegetables.

This could not be helped. Her space required her to plant in order to gain experience, and if she just planted in the land within the space, the upgrade experience would be too slow.

After she left Mojiazha*, she didn't know whether the field she planted there would be considered as her planting if it was ripe and harvested, and whether it would have experience points.

*Mojiazha: village where Wei Ruo previously lived. The village is under the jurisdiction of Daixi Town, Wuxing District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province.

No matter what, although she would not receive much experience points, what should be planted should still be planted.

Tingsong Garden was quite large, and she did not completely damage it. She only planted a little in the west corner, which should not have a significant impact on the overall aesthetics.

Wei Ruo tossed the soil one at a time, the sound was loud and rhythmic.

Within a short time, a two-meter square piece of land had been cultivated by Wei Ruo. Then they split a pile of bamboo with Xiumei and set up a shelf next to the fence, preparing to plant luffa, pumpkins, and gourds here.

-luffa, pumpkins, gourds

Wei Ruo stopped to rest and sat on the stone bench in the courtyard to take a sip of water.

A young servant came knocking at the door, and Xiumei went to answer it.

Wei Ruo stopped and heard the young servant talking to Xiumei. The servant said that the sound of chopping bamboo on her side disturbed the second young master next door who was studying, and hoped that they would keep their voices down.
