As an uncle, I asked the clan to take care of my nephew, so I invited you to have a drink. I mean what I said.
Whoever Lin Yan was, his actions in saluting the Zhou family members were even more touching.
To be honest, if you compare an uncle and an uncle, Zhou Laoer would be stepped on.
Moreover, the Lin family is considered to be the in-laws of the Zhou family, so they should be given this face. In the future, girls and young men from the Zhou family will be married off, and the reputation of the Zhou family must be taken care of.
But if Lin Yan invited this banquet at the restaurant today, it would be a shame to the second-in-command's face.
The patriarch looked back at Tuesday in the lobby, where he was proudly discussing family property with his nephew. He didn't even remember seeing off the guests. This was because he didn't take the clan seriously.
The old patriarch: "The eldest son and grandson of the second wife of the Zhou family are not in decline, and they are acting thoughtfully. I'm sorry for bothering you."
Uncle Lin was overjoyed and hurriedly made arrangements. From now on, the nephew will be completely taken care of by the family members. If you don’t know each other well at this time, when will you become familiar with him?
Uncle Lin took his nephew and went to deal with the relatives of the same clan. The second wife could do whatever he wanted.
Therefore, only the mother-in-law, who was about to return home, and Jiang Changxi, a new bride, were left in the house to face the second room of the Zhou family.
When Uncle Zhou saw Uncle Lin going out with his clan elders, his face became quite ugly.
Ms. Sun even turned her back on their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
The grandfather and grandmother of the Zhou family were sitting at the top, their expressions the same from beginning to end.
Mrs. Lin broke the deadlock and said, "I'll let my daughter-in-law go and take care of things before we say goodbye."
Mrs. Zhou didn't even raise her eyelids, Mr. Zhou said: "Don't worry, arrange it well."
The eldest lady's tears fell again, and when faced with the cold face, her courtesy was exactly the same: "Thank you for your consideration."
The second wife, Mrs. Sun, is so mean and annoying: "Leaving early and leaving late is not just a matter of leaving. If you can't hold on, just say you can't hold on. Why are you acting like this?"
Mrs. Lin finally looked at Mrs. Sun, who was in the second room: "Brother and sister, if I can't survive this widowhood, I can actually keep an eye on her. If my brother and sister are kind enough to persuade me to stay, I can live with my son in the Zhou family."
Mrs. Sun immediately pursed her lips. This sister-in-law was in the house, no matter who she was living with. It was inconvenient after all. Who knew what kind of trouble would be caused.
To put it bluntly, with such a large property in hand, the second wife is not at ease.
Uncle Tuesday: "In my humble opinion, sister-in-law, please ignore her. Since the family has been divided, sister-in-law should pack her things as soon as possible. My parents also feel sorry for my sister-in-law."
After saying that, she took Mrs. Sun and left. Women have a long tongue. There is no need for a person who has nothing to do with the Zhou family in the future.
Jiang Changxi said in her heart, if I could be the master of the family, I would also like to leave here as soon as possible. The Zhou family is a den of tigers and wolves, and she is not very willing to stay.
But the mother-in-law's death cannot be forced into this.
In the lobby, the old couple of the Zhou family and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were left looking at each other in silence.
Mrs. Zhou moved her mouth for a long time, but still nothing came out.
Mrs. Lin pulled Jiang Changxi and bowed before leaving without saying anything else.
Jiang Changxi and Mrs. Lin were walking in the courtyard, with the mother-in-law and the girl following at a distance.
Ms. Lin said leisurely: "My mother and your grandmother used to get along so harmoniously. I never imagined that we would be where we are today."
Human hearts are fickle, and couples can be strangers to each other. What an unstable relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Is this really nothing?
Jiang Changxi: "My daughter-in-law has just arrived, so she doesn't know why she is here. But her daughter-in-law knows that since our families have been separated, my husband has the final say and mother-in-law has the final say in our family affairs. She should follow her wishes when she goes or stays."
Mrs. Lin received the kindness from her daughter-in-law: "Don't worry, my son, my uncle will not treat my mother poorly. I will tell you in detail in the future."
The son is young, and the mother-in-law trusts her parents' family even more, so there is no room for her, the daughter-in-law, to speak out.
Jiang Changxi, a newlywed, is very embarrassed about moving. She can only stay in this house for one night, and it is difficult for her to interfere in anything.
Jiang Changxi: "I wonder what my daughter-in-law can do to help you."
Mrs. Lin took her daughter-in-law and said solemnly: "Chang Xi, I will leave my son to you."
Jiang Changxi blushed a little. She just wanted to ask her mother-in-law if she could help clean up something.
Jiang Changxi: "We are all one family, and it is the daughter-in-law's duty to take care of her husband."
Mrs. Lin: "Your uncle and aunt have been out for a long time because of mother's affairs. Your uncle has official duties and cannot stay for a long time."
Jiang Changxi understood that her mother-in-law was explaining things, and she listened carefully, trying to analyze more information from these words.
The eldest lady continued to explain: "Mother has already packed up the things in the house. Your dowry and the girl have been sent to Zhuangzi. Today when you leave the house, mother will go on the road with your uncle and aunt.
"
Well, this is really too rushed. No wonder Dafu didn't see a few girls who came with the dowry in this mansion.
Judging from my mother-in-law's attitude, she had already planned it.
Jiang Changxi: "My mother and uncle and aunt are together, so my daughter-in-law and her husband will naturally feel at ease. When my daughter-in-law and her husband settle down, I will pick you up at your uncle's house."
Mrs. Lin burst into tears instantly: "My son, my son's thoughts, mother knows."
He took out a box and said: "This is the land deed and the house deed. They were purchased in the name of my dowry when your father-in-law was here. My son kept it with him. I was supposed to leave some old servants for you and your young couple.
Mother is also afraid that the slave will bully the master. You two don’t understand anything and will be fooled."
Then he continued: "Your grandparents and grandparents should be aware of it. Just follow the etiquette. You should remember that mother is reluctant to wrong you. If someone makes things difficult for you, mother will explain it to them. Do you understand?"
Jiang Changxi could hear the unfinished meaning of these words, which was to tell them not to wrong her.
If the grandfather or grandmother rely on their elders and the word filial piety to suppress others, they can ask the mother-in-law to take the lead.
As a mother, you are really worried about everything. Jiang Changxi knew that when she got married, her mother was the same.
Mrs. Lin: "There are also servants' personal contracts here, so keep them in mind. If you encounter any difficulties, remember to talk to your uncle or your natal family for more discussion."
Jiang Changxi didn't even know if her mother-in-law's hasty explanation was because she was waiting to get married in a sedan chair. You couldn't even ask, otherwise why would it be like this?
Mrs. Lin: "Tong Lan'er said, don't worry about the shops in the second house's hands. Without your father, we can't protect those things even if we have them. Mom just wants you to live in peace and be a rich man."
.”
In the end, he still couldn't calm down: "Second brother, if you are so arrogant, you will have your destiny."
Jiang Changxi nodded. She still understood this. Without a backing, with such a big family property, it depends on luck: "Mom, don't worry. My husband understands my mother's painstaking efforts."
Mrs. Lin pulled Jiang Changxi: "There is nothing you can take away here. Since the family is divided, you can just buy it yourself."
