I relied on a system to prolong my life in ancient times.

Chapter 179 Distributing the Reward

"Mother," Liu Xiaoyu called out happily.

She really missed her family; this was the first time in her life she had been away from them for so long.

"Hey, how have you been lately, Xiaoyu? Have you suffered any injustices?"

Although her daughter seemed to be getting better than when she was at home, as a mother, she couldn't help but worry.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm doing very well. Look at me," Liu Xiaoyu said, turning around in a circle.

"Hmm, she does look great. She's gained weight, her skin is fairer, and she's even prettier than before." Liu's mother looked at her daughter carefully.

"Yes, Miss is so good to me. I eat well and dress well every day, and I don't have to do any work, so I've gained some weight."

That's the truth. Lin Qin treats the servants in her household very well. Their daily meals are always nutritious, with meat and vegetables, and they eat much better than ordinary farmers.

“Indeed, you look just like a landlord’s daughter,” said Liu’s mother. When Liu Xiaoyu came in just now, she almost didn’t recognize her.

"So, Mother, you can rest assured." Liu Xiaoyu felt that she had lived a fulfilling two months and she really liked her current life.

"Oh, Mother, don't worry," Liu's mother said with a smile.

"By the way, Mom, where is the rest of our family?" Liu Xiaoyu asked, puzzled. She had only seen her parents when she came in.

"Your grandparents have gone to the fields," said Liu Fu, who had been listening for a while without being able to get a word in edgewise, before Liu's mother could answer.

"Oh, I see. I brought you gifts too. Looks like I'll have to give them to them later." Liu Xiaoyu said with some regret, but then she thought that they wouldn't be leaving anytime soon, so giving them to them later would be the same.

Liu Xiaoyu opened the bundle she had brought, which contained several items that they needed but hadn't been able to afford: clothes, jewelry, writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.

"You childish thing, why are you wasting money like this? You bought so many things, how much money did it cost! What kind of gift do we want?" Liu's mother felt very distressed when she saw so many things.

"Mother, don't worry, I have money, and these won't cost much." Liu Xiaoyu knew her mother was reluctant, but she knew that buying these things wouldn't cost her much, and the paper and books inside were gifts from her young mistress.

There were also a few pieces of clothing and jewelry given to her by Xiao Siyue; she didn't buy many herself.

In addition, Xiao Siyue was very generous to her three maids, giving them generous rewards and double their monthly allowance.

Lin Qin would usually give out a portion, and Xiao Siyue would also secretly subsidize another portion, so Liu Xiaoyu and the other two really weren't short of money.

"Really?" Liu's mother was clearly somewhat skeptical.

"Of course it's true, would I lie to you?" Liu Xiaoyu said helplessly.

Liu Xiaoyu finally believed it and looked excitedly at the contents of the bundle, her face full of smiles.

Just as the three were talking, someone knocked on the door.

Mr. Liu opened the door and asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

The man said happily, "Uncle Liu, hurry to the backyard! The mistress of the house has distributed the reward money. Everyone gets some, so you should go and collect yours too."

"What?" Before Liu's father could ask anything, the person had already run away.

Liu's father closed the door and came in, looking somewhat bewildered.

Liu Xiaoyu and the others didn't hear what was just said; they were just looking at Liu's father with some curiosity.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Liu's father looked at his daughter and said, "Tie Dan just said that the young lady of the main family has distributed the reward money. I didn't even ask him before he ran away."

"A reward?" Liu's mother was also somewhat puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyu suddenly realized that she had been so happy to see her parents that she had forgotten about this matter.

"Father, Mother, I just forgot. Miss said that you've worked hard taking care of the corn these past few days, so she's giving you some reward money. I just forgot, so you should hurry to the backyard to collect it."

"Really? Such a good thing?" Mother Liu was overjoyed. A reward of silver, free silver, who wouldn't like that?

“It’s true, when I arrived, Chun Tao had already taken Miss’s orders to distribute the silver.”

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go quickly." Liu's mother was very happy and pulled Liu's father out.

"Hey, Mother, wait a minute. Miss said everyone in the village gets one. Tell Grandpa and Grandma to go and get it too." Liu Xiaoyu quickly stopped her.

“Yes, yes, her father, go and call her parents. I’ll go to the backyard first,” Liu’s mother said to Liu’s father.

“Okay, I’ll go get them,” Liu’s father replied.

The two went out together, leaving Liu Xiaoyu behind with a sense of helplessness.

As expected, money is more important. Her parents were just pampering her, but now that they heard there was money to be made, they immediately abandoned her and left.

Liu Xiaoyu glanced at the bundle that her mother had thrown on the table and put it away.

Then she closed the doors and windows and went to the front hall. Her parents weren't home, and she had nothing else to do, so she might as well go and serve Xiao Siyue.

backyard

Chuntao and a few others moved the box containing the silver to the pavilion in the backyard.

Then he picked up Zhuangzi's personnel register and began to check the reward money.

A long line of people had formed in the village, all staring intently at the boxes placed in the pavilion.

The box had been opened, and inside were strings of copper coins. They looked so tempting they made one's mouth water.

According to Xiao Siyue, no one would receive a string of cash, which is 1000 copper coins.

Chuntao distributed the peaches one by one, and of course, a manager like Li Fu wouldn't be paid in cash.

When Liu's mother arrived, a large number of people had already been sent, and she quickly followed behind.

Before long, Liu's father and the rest of the Liu family arrived.

Time passed slowly, and finally it was the Liu family's turn to receive their share.

After Chuntao gave the copper coins to Liu's mother, Liu's mother happily accepted them and thanked Chuntao, saying, "Thank you for the gift, Miss. Thank you, young lady."

Chuntao also recognized Liu's mother and returned the smile.

After everyone in the Liu family had received their money, they excitedly returned home with the copper coins in their hands.

Their family is large, and no one has a single coin. This adds up to more than ten taels of silver, which is more than they earn in a year.

He was secretly amazed; this young lady of the main family was truly generous.

After her excitement subsided, Liu's mother remembered Liu Xiaoyu.

"Oh dear, how could I forget about Xiaoyu?" Liu's mother patted her leg, looking annoyed.

"Xiaoyu is back?" Grandma Liu exclaimed in surprise.

However, she quickly came to her senses and said, "That's right, since the young lady of the main family came today, Xiaoyu must have come with her."

"That's right, they came and even brought us gifts," Liu's mother said with some pride, thinking how filial her daughter was.

"Really? Do we all have them?" Grandma Liu exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, I have them all. Let me show them to you." Mother Liu took out the bundle that Liu Xiaoyu had brought and showed it to everyone.

The whole family was very happy.
