Chapter 761: Any other tricks?
Gu Erzhu was not worried at all about Zhou Shun's loud mouth. No matter how strict his tone of voice was, he felt he was at a disadvantage in front of Zhou Shun.
Otherwise, the eldest daughter-in-law has given birth to two grandsons, and she still brings up the idea of Chen Guzi's bad things, for fear that the eldest son and the younger couple will not get into trouble.
"That's the truth. Children are all good children, so there are some things that can't be said. I won't even mention a word in front of your second sister-in-law.
Their thoughts as mothers are different from those of us as fathers. They love to be more serious and always feel that there is nothing bad about the sons they give birth to.
After all, when it comes to life, the daughter-in-law gets along more with her mother-in-law. The key to whether the family can be harmonious is whether the mother-in-law feels sorry for her daughter-in-law.
Like my mother, if she had given my daughter-in-law a good look two years earlier, it wouldn't have been because I had a daughter-in-law and I didn't want my mother to say good things to my daughter-in-law.
It’s true, my wife-in-law is quite serious sometimes, but no matter how filial she is, she would really treat my mother as her own mother.
Even now, with three girls on both sides, my mother seems to have come to her senses, knowing that among the several daughters-in-law, I am the most filial, but it's a pity that it's too late.
My daughter-in-law doesn't talk about old scores, but I don't know that she just turns a blind eye for my sake. As long as my mother doesn't make trouble, I can provide for her. ”
Having said this, Gu Erzhu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Actually, this is also my fault. If the children hadn't grown up and helped their mothers one by one, I wouldn't have woken up.
I thought I had done my best as a son and a husband, but no one was satisfied. So I really didn’t dare to be careless about my son’s marriage.
This is what I want to tell you. If you can find a good wife for your son, and the young couple can live happily together, how can you be so thick-skinned as your father?
I will choose a daughter-in-law from a higher place. Not only will the child have good looks and good temperament, but at least she will not have a large dowry, and she must also have a skill..."
Zhou Shun understood the implication of Gu Erzhu's words. Regardless of the fact that San Ya of his family was good at embroidery, the fact that Huniu was chosen by him was a perfect match for the Ma family's wealth.
But if one comes to propose marriage purely for the sake of dowry after being rejected, the main thing is that the tiger girl has good looks and good temperament.
After all, Sister-in-law Ma did not give her daughter a dowry worth half a million taels of silver. Huniu has not suffered any injustice since entering the house, and she did not use the dowry before.
Outsiders may not know whether Huniu's dowry was used on her husband's family, or how many things were used, but he could guess it even if his family members didn't tell her.
Mrs. Ma is so smart.
As soon as his Sanya entered the house, he was afraid that his daughter would be suppressed because of his excessive dowry, so he immediately went to the carriage and made up for the 20 acres of dowry land.
To use what that old lady from the Oda family was talking about outside, Huniu also became filial and made new clothes for her father-in-law and mother-in-law since Sanya came into the house.
In other words, no matter how true or false the old lady's words were, in the years since Huniu came into the family, the dowry fabrics on hand were rarely used by her parents-in-law.
Unlike Sanya in his family, her father-in-law and mother-in-law couldn't stop her. From the moment she first entered the house, she was afraid that the dowry would be too much and that even her eldest brother-in-law and his whole family would be given any good things.
Not to mention that nowadays, when the workshop is opened, it is easy to have money. What’s more, the prodigal son of his family almost wants to support his uncle’s family!
Fortunately, the in-laws were sensible enough to let the two sons take care of their own affairs early on. They were even more afraid that in the future the two sons' property would not be able to be separated and would be put entirely in the daughter-in-law's name.
Furthermore, Erlang's kid is not a person who likes to take advantage. Otherwise, it would be his family's Sanya. How can he make money? How much can he save in a year.
Fortunately, my sister-in-law always said that Sanya is smart and willing to give up. Only when you give up can you get something. But I don't know how long this "gain" can last, whether it is one year or ten years. "... There are many people who want to betroth their daughters to my two sons, like Uncle Bai, who has been attracted by my second son for a long time.
His family is not bad, and his family status is good, but the girl is too soft-tempered compared to Hu Niu, and she will get beaten when she fights with the elder man's wife.
Huniu is different. She has many brothers in her natal family, and she knows how to use both hands. To put it bluntly, my wife and my sister-in-law have help when they fight. ”
When Zhou Shun heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "Then why did you fall in love with my Sanya for your old son? Who can beat Sanya with his small arms and legs?"
Gu Erzhu was also very amused, "Have you forgotten that my old son is also very skilled? Speaking of this, I still owe Brother Ma a favor."
"You've already figured it out. If my daughter disobeys, your son will beat her up!"
"Bullshit!" Gu Erzhu scolded with a smile and pointed at the teapot on the stove in front of him. "It's too hard to teach you. Pour the tea quickly and I'll teach you another trick."
"Anything else?"
“Don’t want to learn anymore?”
"You dare to betray me?" Zhou Shun stood up and gave him a kick. "What kind of favor do you owe me? How did you deal with it when I didn't know that my uncle was at Ma's house at that time?
Not to mention that you helped Majia'ao go out to sell things and confiscate half a copper for running errands. There is no way that Brother Ma would teach my uncle his ancestral tricks.
Besides, our two children are not returning favors now. How much money did Brother Ma earn from helping the children collect those things made with lard? ”
"That's a lot. Although there are now gifts from outside and from my eldest sister, Brother Ma still has the same number as before. He can still earn a thousand dollars a year."
"No need to talk." Zhou Shun nodded while carrying a tall teapot and pouring water, "Sister-in-law Ma told my wife that Sanya made her a thousand dollars last year."
Shame!
Who teaches whom?
Gu Erzhu almost wanted to hold his forehead.
"He is different from your eldest sister. Don't forget that he has his own village. How many pigs and sheep does his village produce in a year?
According to my wife's wishes, a few years ago I saw a convoy from outside delivering cooked rice on the road, and Sister-in-law Ma also thought that her family would also cook the rice and send it to the workshop. ”
Gu Erzhu's hand couldn't help but hesitate when he took the teapot, "What was sent outside was the oil that the three Zhuangzi had stored up, boiled and frozen. How could she not know?
Before, Sanya was worried that her uncle Ma would overthink it, so she spread it out and said that no matter how much her uncle Ma said, she would still take it, but she didn't say that she would collect the cooked fat. ”
"Yes, that's why I said that friendship is friendship and business is business." Zhou Shun saw him take the teapot and did not force himself to make tea.
After pouring the tea into the cup on the high table, he turned around and mentioned one thing, "What do you think of making the pigsty in Hexi bigger?"
"The whole thing must be bigger. Anyway, if you raise ten pigs, it's better to raise a hundred pigs. I'm just afraid that if you raise too many pigs, swine fever will develop.
For this reason, I thought that the lambs and piglets outside would be cheaper than ours, so I asked Dr. Song to inquire before I left.
Doctor Dong was not good enough, his temper was too bad, and it was not easy for Erlang to ask his master for advice. If he talked too much, he would inevitably mention what the Ma family had to do to prevent the plague. ”
