The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 462 - 432: Rules Must Be Observed_2

Once these people finished their introductions, Yuan Bao nodded and said, "If there’s nothing else, then let’s disperse!"

Then, these people all bowed to Yuan Bao and left.

The Wei Family is large, and there are many matters.

However, if there are no special matters to attend to in the household, it’s the usual daily tasks that these people can handle very well on their own.

If everything required the master to make decisions, then these people wouldn’t be competent.

Being incompetent is just occupying a position without doing any work.

Once the master deems them as merely occupying a position without doing any work, they are just one word away from being dismissed.

So, under normal circumstances, the various matters, big or small, in the Wei Family are usually managed by these stewards.

Whoever the house manager is, as long as they’re not a complete fool, they can generally handle things.

...

Yuan Bao left the Meeting Hall and returned to the courtyard of the Eldest Princess; she still needed to give a simple report to her mother-in-law!

Of course, more importantly, Yuan Bao needed to express to her mother-in-law that she didn’t want to manage the household.

This is not mere politeness!

Yuan Bao really has no interest in managing the household.

Perhaps in some large families, there are those who want to seize the power to manage the household because it provides an opportunity to profit privately. However, at the Wei Family, such issues do not exist.

Although the Wei Family hasn’t split into separate branches, the expenses of each courtyard, as long as they’re reasonable, can directly be handled from the public accounts.

Moreover, the men of the Wei Family have their own tasks and private assets, so meeting the extra expenses of their small households isn’t a difficult thing.

As for insatiable greed?

Sorry!

Even if it’s one’s own father, they won’t indulge them!

The Wei Family, being a family that can rival the Daxia royal family, relies on everyone’s efforts, not just one person’s contributions.

Therefore, in the Wei Family, there’s no issue of elders being particularly partial to a certain member of the family.

As long as you have the capability, then you are eligible to gain strong support from the family.

Without capability, dreaming of occupying a high position is just daydreaming.

"Mother, Eighth Sister-in-law!"

"Oh, Tenth Sister-in-law, you’re here too!"

When Yuan Bao returned to the Eldest Princess’s courtyard, she found that there was one more person playing cards with the Eldest Princess, Mrs. Wei Yun.

Mrs. Wei Yun is the wife of Wei Shizhou, and Wei Shizhou and Wei Shiyu are full brothers. Therefore, Mrs. Wei Shen and Mrs. Wei Yun, these two sisters-in-law, have a very close relationship.

Back when Yuan Bao used to call Mrs. Wei Shen her godmother, she often got delicious treats from Mrs. Wei Yun.

Mrs. Wei Yun is definitely a foodie.

From the first time Yuan Bao met her, she realized that this person is very particular about food.

No matter when Yuan Bao encounters her, she can always get various snacks, including pastries, nibbles, and preserves from her.

"Jiaojiao is here. Want some?"

Seeing Yuan Bao, Mrs. Wei Yun once again took out some snacks from her sleeve.

But as she handed the fruit preserves to Yuan Bao, she realized she forgot to ask if her mother-in-law and sister-in-law wanted some as well.

Mrs. Wei Yun hurriedly took back the fruit preserves offered to Yuan Bao and handed them to the Eldest Princess and Mrs. Wei Shen.

"Mother-in-law, Sister-in-law, would you like some?"

"Let me tell you, these are made with figs, good for nourishing yin and moisturizing the lungs, perfect for winter!"

"Then I’ll try a piece!"

The Eldest Princess smiled, took the small bag of fig preserves from Mrs. Wei Yun, and picked a small piece to taste.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wei Shen also took a small piece to try.

As for the remaining fig preserves, they were all given to Yuan Bao by the Eldest Princess.

"Thank you, Mother, thank you, Tenth Sister-in-law!"

Yuan Bao was rather interested in these fig preserves.

In fact, she prefers to eat fresh figs.

Unfortunately, she’s been in this world for ten years and didn’t know there were fig trees here; what an oversight, truly a big oversight!

Eating the delicious fig preserves, Yuan Bao felt she had missed out on too much fun over the past eight years.

Speaking of which, she was quite foolish!

Spending ten years in this world and never thinking to learn about its resources in detail.

Could it be that she trained in martial arts so intently she became a fool?

Yuan Bao shook her head vigorously, she definitely wouldn’t become a fool.

Previously, she just hadn’t thought about it, it was a case of the lights being too dim under the lamp.

...

While eating fig preserves, Yuan Bao gave the Eldest Princess a brief introduction to the situation at the Meeting Hall and then clearly stated that she was still too young and needed to learn more things, without much time to handle these trivial matters.
