Jiang Changle: "Fortunately, I came back to eat. Dagui's cooking is really good."
Jiang Changxi couldn't help but say: "Mom and dad will miss you."
Chang Le: "I miss my parents too. Let's go back a few more times in the future and take my brother-in-law with me. My mother is very kind to my brother-in-law."
Jiang Changxi: "You're not jealous, he just stole our mother."
Chang Le: "He robbed half of you, but I'm not even angry. What does it mean to rob your parents?"
Hearing this logical relationship, Jiang Changxi was delighted. This was his own brother. No one else would have been able to say this. He was worthy of being raised by himself.
Zhou Lanxin said that if she asked Chang Le whether he should be married to his parents or his sister, Chang Le would choose his sister without hesitation.
The father-in-law and mother-in-law treat themselves no differently than their parents and children. It would be better not to let Chang Le speak like this in front of the father-in-law and mother-in-law in the future, otherwise he will really feel sorry for his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
I am afraid that my father-in-law and mother-in-law will be sad.
But it is obvious that Chang Le is not aware of this problem. In terms of perception, her sister is closer than her father and mother.
In fact, Mr. Jiang San and Mrs. Jiang San were already used to this result. They were hurt more and accepted the fact that being a parent came second.
So there is really no need for uncle Zhou Lan to worry so much.
While studying at night, Jiang Changxi was still doing the accounting. She had no choice but to do it. Even the powerful matron could not do without this job.
Zhou Lan is studying, studying hard, so that his wife can take charge of a larger family business without worries.
Although it seems that everyone is doing their own thing, there is a different atmosphere floating in the study room, as if they are coexisting with each other, it is warm.
Jiang Changxi put down her calculations: "We really have no income in Fucheng."
When the family was separated, Uncle Zhou probably wanted to suppress Zhou Lan in a place like the countryside for the rest of his life.
So there is nothing in Fucheng except a small village and a shop given to her by her mother-in-law, and the village given to her by her uncle Lin.
Now this house is Zhou Lan's private house, bought by his father-in-law for his son when he was still alive.
Zhou Lan put down the book, stretched his waist, and went over to answer Jiang Changxi: "My father was an official who was sent to other places. He bought some private properties locally. When he could be transferred, he sold them all. The money was given to his second uncle in Kyoto.
After buying a shop and a yard, I think my father also thought about living in the capital in the future."
Thinking of his wife's temperament, Zhou Lan also emphasized: "My mother will pay for part of the dowry, and the family will buy part for themselves. This has always been the case."
What I mean is, don’t think too much, my father is very upright.
Jiang Changxi said to her heart that no matter what her mother-in-law did, it was Uncle Zhou who was in charge. As those private properties came and went, Uncle Zhou would have to acquire as many private houses as possible.
Uncle Zhou is a person who is not satisfied, otherwise he should think about this when he appreciates his kindness. This is all pocket money given to his brother by his elder brother.
Jiang Changxi took a deep breath: "My heart hurts."
Zhou Lan hurried over to help Jiang Changxi: "I'm going to ask a doctor, how can I feel such pain in my heart?"
Jiang Changxi patted his heart: "My heart hurts, it hurts so much. I feel bad for the money. I feel bad for the money for my father-in-law."
Zhou Lan was stunned. Why did he feel so sorry for the money? How to start: "I gave you all my private house, otherwise I would also give you all my private treasury."
Jiang Changxi: "Is this what I'm talking about? Although I can't speak about the rights and wrongs of my elders, according to my second uncle's ethics, my father and mother must have been deceived by him about how much private property they have."
Zhou Lan was silent, it must have been something. He seemed a little distressed.
Jiang Changxi: "The most hateful thing is that he is not satisfied yet. He already has so much private property, so why can't he treat his nephew well? It's hateful."
Zhou Lan instead took Jiang Changxi's hand and said, "I feel sorry for you, so you don't need to feel too bad about the money. Daddy is still very smart."
Jiang Changxi glared at him angrily: "You are so smart that you gave all your money to others."
Zhou Lan: "That's the second uncle, dad's younger brother. I guess dad is willing to give it. Moreover, because he indulged the second uncle a little, dad was able to buy those private properties for mom. The pocket money he gave me was a small yard."
So this is the result of a compromise between the family after weighing the situation.
With just a few members of the family, the financial situation is like this. No wonder the family is in dire straits.
Jiang Changxi: "As a family, we should work together in one place. In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, the Zhou family is scattered. Anyone who wants to bully can be bullied."
Zhou Lan: "My family Chang Xi is naturally knowledgeable."
Jiang Changxi: "It's useless to praise me stupidly. You have to learn a lesson and don't learn from your father. After you buy a family business, you have to give it to your wife in addition to giving it to your wife. Others will not take care of your children and grandchildren like your wife.
"
This was said quite seriously, and I was afraid that Zhou Lan wouldn't understand.
Zhou Lan said seriously: "I have learned this. I will never hide my private property in the future. I will give all the money I have to Madam. If I want to give money to anyone, I must talk to Madam."
Jiang Changxi: "If the descendants are prosperous in the future, it is right for you to do this, otherwise conflicts will arise between the descendants. We must run the Zhou family and let the Zhou family go further. Let the descendants support them in the future.
Our ancestral hall is big and bright."
The daughter-in-law wants to turn the Zhou family into an aristocratic family. After a few generations, who can say for sure? These words inspired Zhou Lan to feel relaxed and happy, but the final 'ancestral hall' was a bit scary. Can the result be changed?
Zhou Lan finally clenched his fists and summed up: "Everyone listens to Madam."
I was thinking in my mind whether my private treasury should be handed over to my wife, but now there is my brother-in-law's private room in the private treasury. What if I hand it over?
Zhou Lan: "Don't feel bad, the family business will be taken care of in the future."
Jiang Changxi: "Don't worry. We are from a small family now, but we have such a big family business. I'm worried that people will miss us."
I'm just a little worried about Uncle Zhou. There are a lot of public and private properties put together.
In a place like Kyoto, Uncle Zhou doesn't know what kind of backers he has. If these industries are so big, how can he keep them? It's a pity that his husband's life-long efforts have been put in.
I couldn't help but beat my chest a few more times. It's not easy to save a family business. If you fail, you will need an uncle Tuesday who may not have much knowledge.
Jiang Changxi: "I hope my grandparents can continue to protect my father's hard work in this life."
Zhou Lan thought about this at least three times in his mind. He really felt that he shouldn't say anything and it was hard to say anything. After all, his grandparents received his father's property from him.
Look at Jiang Changxi: "Dad is definitely willing to give comfort to my grandparents."
Therefore, throwing away such a large family property will give the old man and old lady a comfort, but it may not be a comfort that can be protected.
Jiang Changxi: "Yes, as long as Dad feels comfortable."
I wonder if my grandparents will be able to meet their grown-up children with peace of mind and a clear conscience after a hundred years.
