Chapter 166: Chapter 166: ONE MONTH LATER

A lot can happen in a month, especially when there is so much to do.

Without her knowing, August and September ended and now it was October, and the villagers were busy starting to prepare for the ploughing season.

With the rain usually falling around late November to early December, the fieldwork would start around this time.

In the past month, it was a busy and productive month for everyone, especially Calista. When she thinks of the things that were achieved, a smile keeps blossoming on her face.

Her manor can be considered nearly complete, as the guesthouses officially got completed a few days ago.

These masons were starting a new project, which was to build the screen wall. The wall encircles the manor as a whole, as well as adds a few more wells to the yard. She can’t have one well, supplying everyone in the manor.

When that finishes, the construction of the manor will be officially done. And as long as these people do their work properly, everything will be done before November starts.

And the construction of buildings would be forced to be put on halt as she didn’t like anyone building during the rainy season. And since everyone was literally a villager, everyone needed to farm. So, she wasn’t going to steal the manpower of other women just because she wanted to have more buildings to be built.

What was already there was enough for now. It wasn’t good to be greedy.

The other achievement she felt was worth celebrating was how only a few dorms remained without furniture. By the end of the month, all the dorms should be fully furnished, which means another problem for her is solved.

Lisa, the female nurse she bought, returned to the village with a carriage full of herbs and the medicine was enough to last for a long time.

Talking about Lisa, she couldn’t help but remember that the young lady she was living with was also called Lisa. It was simply very confusing when they were in one place. Thankfully, the two barely came into contact, making it easy for her to call either of them whenever she met with them.

Lisa, the lady from afar, was truly efficient when working. Since she promised to help her with the wine brewing and the other small projects, she had never slacked off at all.

All Calista needed to do was provide the other with the ingredients needed. For those she didn’t have, she sent someone to Silverbroke town or Liresa City. And once they were there, Lisa would do her magic.

At the beginning of October, Calista was proudly the owner of twenty barrels waiting to be sold once they were ripe enough. With the barrels differing in time of brew, the wine could be sold for a long time.

And if she wanted to avoid ageing the wine for longer, she would just stuff the barrels in her storage ring. This way, their original state would be maintained.

Before Lisa and Mammy Lena leave, Calista plans on making Lisa brew more wine.

Of course, in the future, she was going to brew the wine on her own. She had seen how it was brewed, and it didn’t seem to be that difficult.

Lisa didn’t forget to make the soaps as promised. For these, she taught the servants at home. These servants didn’t have much happening to them. So, letting them learn a craft or two to remain useful was the best thing that could happen to them.

So, they learnt soap making as well as making the scented pouches.

As long as they know how to dry the flowers and mix the scents, the embroidery team can make the pouches. They were getting paid to embroider, after all.

Another thing, Lisa recuperated well, and she was fit as a horse.

In other words, the date of Lisa and Mammy Lena’s departure was approaching and just thinking about it, Calista felt sour.

The most important thing to take note of was her pregnancy. The belly was truly showing now and couldn’t be hidden no matter how baggy the clothes she wore.

She was now five and half months pregnant, and in less than four months, she would be bringing a child into this world.

As she looked at her round belly, Calista wondered whether she was carrying a boy or a girl.

Honestly to her, it didn’t matter which gender the child was. The child was hers and that’s all that matters.

She wasn’t patriarchal, like some stupid women out there. Forgetting that they were also women, they treated their daughters badly just because one day they would be married off to other families and start their own families. How stupid were people to think like that?

As a fellow woman, you should feel empathy and at least compensate for the torture your daughter would go through once she was married out there.

In this world of hers, there were few good families which treated their daughters-in-law like treasures. They were like slaves bought into their families to suffer.

It was as if the daughters-in-law owe them or something. And yet all they were suffering for was because they took a liking to the family’s sons. What was so special about their sons that they let the daughters of other families suffer like that?

She was also a woman and understood how torturous it was for her when she grew up. And she didn’t want her daughter to feel that way.

At the same time, if she gave birth to a son, she would raise that child well and make sure that he doesn’t take advantage of the fact that he is a boy and grew up unruly.

She won’t raise an ancestor. Not under her watch.

Regardless of the future, she still looked forward to the child in her belly and couldn’t wait to see the blessing given to her by the deities.

this was a child that was given to her after being laughed at by everyone.

And she couldn’t wait to bring her or him into the world.
