Chapter three hundred and ninety seventh continue to clean up you
Jiang Changxi: "Grandma, I don't know what else you have to do with your grandson's wife. Grandma, please don't be polite. If you are not happy living with your second uncle and second aunt, don't embarrass yourself. Our juniors are here, so why not
I want my grandparents to be in a good mood."
Mrs. Zhou snorted coldly, "I feel so good when I see you."
Besides, if I didn't catch it, what you are worried about is the family property. This thief is determined to die.
Uncle Zhou has been thinking about other people's family business all his life. He has never thought that he is still being cared about. This is the first time he has experienced this feeling. It is like a light on his back. Thanks to the failure of his family business, he is less worried.
Mrs. Zhou mocked Jiang Changxi: "I didn't know you were still filial."
Jiang Changxi only thought that these words were sincere and replied humbly: "Thank you grandma for the compliment. My granddaughter-in-law will definitely do better and better."
Mrs. Zhou simply shut up. This person is too thick-skinned. How dare he be so arrogant.
If Erlang was still here, if her eldest son was still here, how could he allow such a junior to treat her, an old mother, like this?
If her eldest son was still alive, how could he be helpless in the capital and unable to keep his family fortune, which was bullied by others?
Madam Zhou has been thinking about her son a lot recently. It's a pity that her eldest son will never be resurrected no matter how much she misses him. I pity her great eldest son.
Jiang Changxi also didn't expect that the elders of the Zhou family would choose such a day to come to the second room of the Zhou family to make trouble.
It was fun for me to watch the joke. But as a junior, if I didn't say a few polite words to my second wife, the elders would question her for not being respectful and filial. Jiang Changxi really didn't want to embarrass herself.
After thinking about it, I decided not to read the joke, and save myself from affecting the performance of the elders here.
Thinking of this, I reluctantly came out of the huge courtyard of the Zhou family's second room.
At the gate of Zhou Mansion, Jiang Changxi turned back: "It's a pity that such a big courtyard is there."
Dali also thinks that this courtyard is better than her own: "Although there is no news from Beijing yet, I think if Beijing is too busy, Master and the others will not return to Baoding on Tuesday. If grandma likes the courtyard here, don't let others look at her.
Some, if the Zhou family's second wife can no longer stay in Baoding Mansion and plans to return to the county, we will buy this big yard."
Jiang Changxi: "Stop dreaming. If the Zhou family wants to establish a foothold in Baoding Mansion, even if they have to hold on, they will not sell this yard."
Besides, why did she buy it? Do she continue to live in the second house? Otherwise, if her grandparents built it, even if she bought it, it would be for others to live in. Her good reputation and personality are also not easy to maintain.
So no matter how much you like this yard, it can only belong to others. I can't remember it. I sigh, my manpower is exhausted.
Dali: "That's really a pity." The master and servant looked at the house with burning eyes, which frightened the steward who sent them out. There was actually someone who dared to care about the second master's things.
I turned around and told my husband and wife that my grandma was jealous of their house.
Only then did the master and servant feel extremely regretful and got on the carriage to return home.
When the clan elders come over, not to mention Mr. Zhou, even Mr. Zhou will come out to meet the guests.
Mrs. Zhou's genealogy cannot be displayed in front of the clan elders, and her majesty and other aspects are all nonsense.
Old Mrs. Zhou: "I haven't had time to let the second son go back to our clan to worship, but I didn't expect you to come to Baoding Mansion, but something happened."
Followed by: "If it's not easy to handle, just leave it to the second child and let him handle it." With the ability mentioned, I don't know how capable he is.
The old patriarch's face turned dark: "You live in Kyoto. There is Erlang and his wife here in Baoding Mansion, so I don't need to trouble you."
Uncle Zhou pursed his lips, letting his nephew feel uncomfortable.
Grandfather Zhou's face drooped. When he arrived at Baoding Mansion, his son and an uncle had to be suppressed by his nephew. The father and son's ideas were really in sync with each other.
Mr. Zhou thought he still had some status: "They are just juniors, so they can't be as practical as the second generation."
Patriarch Zhou scoffed, saying that you think your ambitious second son is nothing and has nothing to do with such stupid things.
The old patriarch said directly: "By the way, when will you return to Kyoto."
Grandfather Zhou stopped talking. He felt that he was just putting on an air of pretense and he could no longer keep up the pretense and was about to be exposed.
Mr. Tuesday: "My father is old and misses the fallen leaves returning to their roots, so we returned to Baoding Mansion."
I just mean that I won’t leave. No matter how nice you say it, it can’t cover up the ugliness of you coming back to Baoding Prefecture because you can’t survive in the capital.
Patriarch Zhou: "You don't have to say it so nicely. That's not what you said when your second brother and younger brother went to Kyoto. Brother, I'm afraid it's hard for you to come back to Kyoto."
Master Zhou would like to say again, but Grandpa Zhou has stopped them. If they return to Baoding Mansion, they will not be able to quarrel with the clan. Silence is tantamount to acquiescence.
Patriarch Zhou said in a serious tone: "Baoding Mansion owns your property, and we have no control over whether you come back or not."
Mr. Tuesday snorted in his heart, it’s just like, what do you think of yourself as the patriarch of the clan?
Mr. Zhou had never taken the clan seriously before, but now that he has returned to Baoding Mansion, he still feels guilty, especially now that he has to rely on the clan for so much and is so respectful on the surface.
Elder Clan Chief Zhou: "But one thing is that Erlang and his wife are good members of the clan, and they are filial to you. Their etiquette on New Year's Eve is never bad. Everyone in the clan is watching."
He raised his head and said to Mrs. Zhou: "Sister-in-law, it's hard to say that such a daughter-in-law is unfilial."
Mrs. Zhou didn't know that the clan had come forward for such a rebellious and unfilial person. When did the clan become so easy to talk to? "She said something about her elders behind their backs. Isn't it better to be filial?"
Patriarch Zhou: "You did such a thing, why don't you let Erlang's wife carry the reputation of being unfilial and not let her cry out for injustice?"
Followed: "In addition, the eldest and second sons of the Zhou family have been separated. You chose to take the family assets with the second son. You have no business in the affairs of the eldest son. You have no right to speak about the affairs of the second son's wife except Erlang.
"
Mrs. Zhou was dissatisfied and her voice became sharp: "She is the daughter-in-law of my Zhou family. As a grandmother, I can divorce her if she is unfilial. Even if I go to the government, I will be reasonable."
Elder Clan Chief Zhou laughed angrily: "I didn't know my brothers and sisters were so stubborn. If you don't believe me, let's go to the government and tell them whether my clan has the final say or the government has the final say."
These days, the clan can handle a lot of things, and the clan has great power. This is also a drawback that Jiang Changxi is not comfortable with. But now this drawback has been perfectly taken care of by Mrs. Zhou.
