Chapter 183 - 119: A Wife Should Always Accompany Her Husband
The thirtieth day of the lunar year arrived as expected.
The streets were lined with red lanterns, festooned with lights and decorations, exuding a festive air, resembling resplendent fire dragons winding through the streets and alleys.
Last year, Jiang Shouzhong spent New Year’s Eve with his two daughters, and this year was no different, except that the company had changed from Hong’er and Ye to Xia He and the newly acquired servant girl, Er Liang.
Of course, if Mengniang was included, that made three.
Mengniang did not particularly enjoy such festive atmospheres, and she did not want to reveal herself in front of others, so in the end, only three figures were bustling about in the courtyard.
The young servant girl, Er Liang, was responsible for sweeping the yard and cleaning the windows and furniture.
Actually, Jiang Shouzhong did not intend to treat her as a servant, but the stubborn girl insisted that she was indeed the servant he had bought, and kept calling him "master."
Jiang Shouzhong, feeling helpless, let her be.
Of course, the reason he ended up taking in the girl was partly out of compassion, and partly because he thought that if Xia He truly became his wife in the future, he must not wrong her. He needed to purchase a new residence, and having someone to help manage the home would be beneficial.
But the thought of Er Liang being only twelve years old always gave Jiang Shouzhong a sense of guilt, as if he were a capitalist exploiting child labor.
