CHAPTER 106: CHAPTER 106: THE LETTER IS DELIVERED!

In Daxia, letter transmission is still quite convenient, after all, the court has a dedicated posthouse.

"Old man, is writing a letter really feasible?"

Mrs. Li, having never experienced such matters, felt somewhat uncertain, "What if that Miss Sheng’s stepmother thinks differently from us, what then?"

"Mom, don’t worry!"

"How many stepmothers in this world would hope for the best for the children from before?"

"If she were good, Xue’er wouldn’t have come to the village!"

"Mom, for this matter, listen to me!"

"I promise there won’t be a mistake!"

At this moment, Yuan Shougui felt as if he was a reincarnated wise man.

Mrs. Li was just an ordinary village woman, without much ability, and couldn’t be considered worldly.

As for the matters of the Yuan Family, they were mostly decided by Old Yuan and his sons.

Although Mrs. Li encouraged Yuan Shougui to pursue Sheng Xueyi, it wasn’t because she was particularly scheming, but simply because she was looking to climb higher, dreaming of reaching the top overnight.

As for whether doing so would bring any negative effects, she couldn’t see it, nor could she imagine it.

Ultimately, Mrs. Li agreed to Yuan Shougui’s idea.

Write a letter!

The two went to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, found a sheltered corner by a wall, and finished the letter on the wall.

No fancy words, just simple descriptions.

In fact, Yuan Shougui even deliberately changed his handwriting style to avoid being recognized in the future as the author of the letter.

After writing the letter, they bought an envelope, sealed it, and tossed the letter into the posthouse’s mailbox.

In Daxia’s posthouse system, the mailing fee is paid by the recipient.

Although the posthouse operates officially, it mainly self-finances. Each letter delivered earns the posthouse courier ten percent of the postage as their wage.

If the posthouse couriers want to make more money, they have to deliver more letters.

After sending this letter, Mrs. Li then returned to Shiqu Village with Yuan Shougui.

On the way, both were in high spirits.

It wasn’t until Shiqu Village came into view that they began to think about everything they had to face.

"Mom, later on, what are we going to say to Dad?"

Yuan Shougui was genuinely a little scared.

He knew his father was really angry.

"Admit your mistake to your dad!"

Mrs. Li thought for a moment and suggested, "No matter what your dad says, you just admit it sincerely; once the Sheng Family receives the letter, everything will be set in stone, by that time, it will be our proud moment!"

"But what if Dad doesn’t forgive me?"

"Then kneel until he forgives!"

Having been married to Yuan Pandi for so many years, Mrs. Li naturally understood her husband’s nature, knowing that he had harsh words but a soft heart.

"I’ll listen to Mom!"

Yuan Shougui took a deep breath, knowing he would surely suffer today.

However, as he thought about soon marrying the girl he has long yearned for, he felt it was all worth it.

When he marries Xue’er, by then, his family will realize he was right all along.

...

At this time in the Yuan Family, everyone was gathered together, discussing the matter of moving away.

Yuan Shougui’s unrelenting stubbornness and Mrs. Li’s covering up and concealing placed the whole family in danger, which was no good.

"Dad, Mom, we’ve just found our footing in Shiqu Village, if we move now, where can we relocate to?"

The Song Family didn’t approve of moving.

"Where doesn’t matter, what’s important is, we need to move quickly!"

Old Yuan glanced at his second daughter-in-law, "This matter, I’ll have Xiao Wu talk with the second and third sons later! You can either come with us or stay on your own!"
