Chapter 495 Two Dads
Gu Erzhu was really worried that his old son would not be able to do it. In fact, the value of the dowry exceeded his imagination, and he was afraid that his old son would be tempted.
Especially after the old daughter-in-law became pregnant, even though he was away from home for some days during this period, judging from the past few days, the old son's power has increased.
It can be said that the various managers of the young couple's property have basically ignored the old daughter-in-law and reported directly to the old son to make arrangements.
No one cares about money.
He also rarely cares about speaking his conscience.
Just thinking that the Zhuangzi shop that Sanya saved by herself is owned by her own grandchildren, not to mention that there are still workshops that lay golden eggs.
Even if one day the workshop fails to lay eggs and has to close down, the money saved by working for one or two years will be enough for the young couple and their children to have food and clothing for a lifetime.
But, looking at this posture, maybe the total of these is far less than half and half and half of the dowry. Would the old son want to keep it as his own?
As a father, he didn't dare to vouch for it, but Sanya was also a child with good ideas. She said that she would not be able to swallow the dowry if she took care of it for the time being.
Despite the fact that this child has never misappropriated the rent from the dowry shop, even the valuables her uncle asked Dali to bring back from the dowry house in the capital have been stuffed intact into the manor's cellar.
These things cannot be hidden from anyone, not from him and his wife. It's not that he and his wife intend to inquire about their daughter-in-law's private affairs, but mainly that Sanya, the child, will come to him and his wife for discussion.
For example, this time the village heads brought the local specialties produced by Zhuangzi, and the stewards brought local specialties. Before they were delivered, Sanya, the child, came to discuss with him and his wife.
As for his family, Liulang was gone, he asked the village heads to leave half of it for his husband when they came to Zhoujia Village, and the rest could be taken back to his family for use.
He blushed at that.
Fortunately, this bastard agreed that he would not want the dowry like Sanya, but when he took advantage of it, he couldn't wait to accept it all without blinking an eye.
I don’t know who this bastard looks like. No matter how good he is, he is not so careless that he wants to accept everything without discussing it with his wife in advance.
Gu Erzhu, who didn't know the true story between his son and his daughter-in-law, took the opportunity to explain it carefully when only his father and son were outside the study and no one would eavesdrop.
What is conscientious coaxing of a daughter-in-law, how to make the daughter-in-law feel at ease when it comes to money, and how to discuss everything without hurting the relationship between husband and wife.
He quietly taught the methods he could think of in the past two nights to his old son without any reservation, hoping that he would not be unaware of his blessings.
He was afraid that saying too much about marrying such a good daughter-in-law would make his old son feel uncomfortable and jealous of his old daughter-in-law, so he didn't dare to take the opportunity to hit his old son.
I can only insert short stories along the way, and learn from my in-laws Ma Dazhuang what it was like back then, and what it is like now. It's too late to regret it.
All this hard work made Gu Wenxuan want to laugh so hard, and he laughed frequently on the way, so naturally he couldn't escape being slapped by his father.
Compared to the father and son in the big study in the front yard, the father and daughter in the study in the west wing are much more normal. The father here only cares about one thing.
His Sanya had been able to eat well and sleep well in the city these days, and whether he felt wronged about reporting good news instead of bad news was something he kept in his heart and dared not say out loud.
"...Besides these, I don't even get used to Gu Dalang's wife. She can still be regarded as the eldest sister-in-law by name. I just disappeared if I didn't want to talk to her.
My mother-in-law also said that she did a good job. As for the Tian family, Brother Liulang didn't hide it from me from the beginning. I learned what was going on earlier than my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Dad, you still don’t know what kind of temper I am. That kind of person is my relative. I had already communicated with Aunt Wang in private, and she also passed the message to me.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the matron of the house, who is now considered the number one person in Qingyang County, should know my attitude. "Zhou Banxia blinked, "I, who have been deeply taught by my master and Mrs. Gao, how could I act like a girl and commit crimes against my conscience and my uncle's expectations?
My uncle is an upright and humble gentleman. How could he allow me to act recklessly outside? My father also repeatedly told me, my daughter, not to get into trouble.
This was probably what I meant. The next day, Aunt Wang found an opportunity to convey my attitude to the county magistrate and his wives.
Relax, Dad, your daughter and I are no longer the Zhou Banxia who was forced to sell her body. I didn’t harm others earlier, but no one can harm me anymore, let alone now.
If it’s not your daughter, I’m arrogant. The Tian family is nothing, and I don’t want to have anything to do with it. Otherwise, he would have been imprisoned long ago, and I would have given them a chance to bargain with others! ”
Seeing his Sanya raising her chin in disdain as she spoke, Zhou Shushun couldn't help but smile, "Then why don't you let her be imprisoned?"
"As I said before, the gain outweighs the loss. The brother-in-law in that family won't report to the government anymore, so why should I do something extra? In turn, it feels like I still owe a favor.
Furthermore, there was nothing wrong with me in the first place, but just because someone thought I owed them a favor, they made it seem like I was behind the scenes. How would outsiders view me?
I can't do it, and there's no need to be superfluous. I don't want to be too hard or too soft. I just need to let people know not to annoy me, and I'm still very talkative.
No matter how serious I am, I still want to be like you, dad, and just live my own life. What do outsiders have to do with us? It’s not easy to take care of our own family first. ”
Zhou Shushun thought about it for a while and realized that this is the truth, "If you can think like this, Dad will feel at ease. Dad is afraid that you will think too much and wrong yourself out of your kindness."
"No."
Zhou Shushun didn't bother to give examples to refute his daughter's so-called incompetence. He didn't want to scold her now. At least, he couldn't scold Shun Shun Dangdang until she gave birth to the child.
On the contrary, "The Tian family matter has actually been concluded. According to your father-in-law, the old lady of the Tian family who passed away left something for Tian Er Gouzi and his father.
It seems to be a jade pendant or something. In order to save his son this time, the old guy asked your father-in-law to borrow a thousand taels of silver as collateral, but your father-in-law refused. ”
Also about this matter, did she still find her father-in-law?
The Tian family has a jade pendant left by Mrs. Gu's grandmother. She knew it. She had heard Gu Wenxuan mention it before and heard from his father that the Tian family had some wealth in the early years.
It seems that Mrs. Gu's grandmother was originally a maid of a wealthy family in Fucheng. After the old man in charge died, she married into the Tian family after being released by the wife in charge.
There was no such thing as a story about a maid who was pregnant and hid a large sum of money, so she had no choice but to find Tian Jiazi, who was a long-term worker at the time, who wanted to be his father.
Mrs. Gu and her grandmother should be quite honest. She was not resold to Ren Yazi by the wife in charge of the family, but was directly released with a deed of sale.
When she was released, the maid of the first house must have given her a sum of money and asked Mrs. Gu and her grandmother to take her old things out of the house, so that she could take Tieji away.
Just, "What kind of jade pendant is so valuable?"
