A Petty Official Chapter 9

Although it was only a few words, Ethan Yun had already outlined the story in his mind. It was nothing more than that Grace Zheng's family did not agree with her and Daniel Yun being together, but Grace Zheng insisted on following Daniel Yun. Judging from the old woman's behavior of holding the brocade fan and Grace Zheng's previous concealment, it might be the nature of elopement.

Now that her embroidery work had been exposed, people came to her house and persuaded her to go back.

I just don't know what Grace Zheng's family said to make her so angry and unwilling to go back. Logically speaking, now is the time of grief, even if she had a falling out with her family because of the marriage, her family should not be angry if they come to make amends.

After Grace Zheng came back, Chloe Shuang came forward and held her hand, "Mom, who is that person?"

Grace Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "That's from my grandmother's house."

"Grandma?" It was the first time Chloe Shuang knew there was a grandma. "Are we going to grandma's house?"

"Not yet." Grace Zheng forced a smile. "If you go to grandma's house and can't bring Yan Ge'er with you, are you willing?"

"Of course not." Chloe Shuang shook his head vigorously.

"So let's go later." Grace Zheng touched Chloe Shuang's head, looked at Ethan Yun, and picked him up, "My child..."

Emma Yun replied: ...

What kind of conditions are these? The daughter can go back, but the grandson cannot? What are Grace Zheng's parents thinking? Even if Grace Zheng was not in the grief of losing her husband, she would never agree to such a request.

Even if Grace Zheng remarried after returning, the child would not be an obstacle. Isn't it normal for a woman to remarry with a child from a previous marriage? It's not like she can't afford to raise the child.

However, in this kind of situation, maybe Grace Zheng's parents are just trying to lower the price first, just like when buying something, and give very bad conditions to see how they can negotiate in the future. Maybe Grace Zheng will still go back to her parents' home.

Ethan Yun's speculation did not last long before it was shattered by reality.

Grace Zheng finally started to continue her embroidery work. During this time, the mother-in-law came twice again, but they left on bad terms after just a few words.

When Grace Zheng finished this batch of embroidery work and took it to Xiuxiang for delivery, when she came back, all the embroidery pieces were intact and returned in their original condition!

Grace Zheng frowned, put away the embroidery, and went to cook as usual.

Ethan Yun was speechless.

It can’t be such a coincidence that I had a falling out with my parents and couldn’t sell the embroidery pieces.

This is definitely forcing Grace Zheng to go back, right?

Moreover, one of the conditions for Grace Zheng to return was that she could not bring Emma Yun back with her.

Emma Yun replied with a determined look: "I will never die so easily!!"

"Hehe..." Xiaobao pounced from behind and hung his chubby body on Emma Yun's back.

"Ouch!" Emma Yun fell face down on the bed, dead.

.

At lunch time, Grace Zheng brought a plate of meat.

These days Grace Zheng often improves everyone's diet, so it's not surprising to have meat to eat. Today's dish is just particularly delicious.

Emma Yun looked back and saw that the meat was stewed today with spices such as onion, ginger, pepper, fennel, etc. It also looked like it had sauce in it, so it was no wonder it was so fragrant.

I ate a piece with drooling, it was so delicious and tasty, so well stewed that I almost wanted to swallow my tongue.

And this one bite made Ethan Yun a little stunned. This is not pork, it should be mutton.

Chloe Shuang had never eaten mutton before, and she felt that the meat today was a little different. However, she thought it was because of the cooking method, so she didn't say anything, but just ate a little faster.

Poor people could not even afford pork, and beef and mutton were consumed by the aristocracy. Ethan Yun did not understand why Grace Zheng did not sell any embroidery pieces, but instead spent money to buy mutton.

I just can't figure it out...

If you can't figure it out, just eat the meat first. Ethan Yun thought that Grace Zheng must have learned how to cook mutton at home, so her family must be quite wealthy.

Soaked in mutton soup, even the bean rice is fragrant and delicious.

Ethan Yun burped after eating, and so did Chloe Shuang. Even Xiaobao was fed some minced meat and soup.

How nice it would be if I could eat like this every day. Emma Yun looked back at her little arms and hands, wishing she could grow up immediately.

After having enough soup and eating, Grace Zheng washed the bowl, wiped her hands, and asked, "Yan'er, Yi'er, do you like Daxiangguo Temple?"

Chloe Shuang immediately said: "Of course I like it!"

Ethan Yun first turned Grace Zheng's meaning over in her mind before slowly saying, "I like it."

"Then let's move." Grace Zheng smiled.

Emma Yun replied: ...

Awesome! Are you looking for a monk to support you?

.

Nowadays, temples have a lot of businesses and cover a wide range. They have a large area and many properties, and they are also involved in the accommodation industry, and they have various rental methods.

Grace Zheng packed up her things very quickly and found an agent to rent out the house. She still had some money left from selling the kesi fan, which was just enough to pay the long-term rent for the Daxiangguo Temple.

After saying goodbye to the neighbors and moving to Daxiangguo Temple, Ethan Yun realized after meeting Ran that Grace Zheng had not only moved to a new place, but had also found a job in Daxiangguo Temple!

Like the Ciyu Village where they had stayed before, the Daxiangguo Temple would also adopt abandoned babies, who would be trained to become monks when they grew up, or work for the temple, which would require women to breastfeed them.

If the embroidery work can’t be sold, then I might as well change jobs like before.

Grace Zheng was in good health, met all the requirements, and had previous experience, so she was successfully hired by Daxiangguo Temple.

Moreover, Grace Zheng also sought help from Adrian. When Adrian came to see them, he said something to Grace Zheng in front of Ethan Yun, saying that although Daxiangguo Temple was in a downtown area, it was a secluded place.

Rather than saying that Daxiangguo Temple is transcendent, it is better to say that it is superior. The royal family and dignitaries pamper this place. They are not ordinary people, but they are much more powerful than ordinary people.

I don't know what position Adrian holds in the temple, but it seems that he can protect Grace Zheng, at least he can't disturb Grace Zheng's current work. One reason is that he is a good person, and the other is that he really likes Ethan Yun.

In fact, Grace Zheng found this job, which provided her with accommodation just like when she was in Ciyu Village, but Grace Zheng must rent another yard because she still did not want Emma Yun to return to become a nun.

If Ethan Yun lived with her and played with those reserve monks, that is, Tong Xing, every day, there was no guarantee that he would not be changed. Everyone knows that the environment has a great influence on a person.

Because it was a long-term rental and I had Laoran's face, I found a quieter house. Although it didn't have a yard, there was a bamboo forest next to it, which was quite elegant.

In this way, Grace Zheng had almost spent all the money she had earned from selling embroidered silk fans. With her salary and the rent from the house behind Kaifeng Mansion, she could make a living even if she couldn't sell her embroidered pieces in Bianliang.

Grace Zheng was very satisfied with this, and the children had no objection. They had only lived in the old house for a few months and had not yet developed any feelings for it. The area here was more prosperous, which naturally made them happier.

In the past, when neighbors came to Daxiangguo Temple for temple fairs, they could take a walk along the way, and there was nothing wrong with that.

Ethan Yun was convinced. She was indeed a woman who dared to elope. She was a woman of action!
