Chapter 71: Pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages
Zhao thought about it, and that was indeed the case.
At least the situation is good for now. Both children are with me and will never be separated.
"Silly girl, your dowry..." Mrs. Zhao hesitated before speaking.
"Mom, don't worry. I have all the money, money, and deeds in the store, and the Shen family has not tainted anything."
Mrs. Zhao felt quite relieved. Seeing how much of her daughter's utensils and fabrics had been taken over by the two shameless Shen family members, Ms. Zhao was very worried that her daughter's shop would also be contaminated by the Shen family.
Zhao poked Lu Fenghe's finger and said, "You're not that stupid."
"Mom, don't be surprised. You know that I don't take these things seriously. My brother gave me so many in the past, so I'm ready for me to give them away."
Ms. Zhao recalled her daughter tapping her granddaughter's nose when she was a child and said, "Sister Zhen must not be like your mother."
Lu Fenghe was shocked, "What's wrong with me?"
"What's wrong with you? The gaps between your fingers are so wide that stones can leak through. Others can leak a little sand at most."
Mrs. Zhao scolded Lu Fenghe, "Tell me that you love each one when you meet him. Your grandfather gave you the first set of blue and white Ru porcelain. You still carry it with you. Tell him that you are single-minded. The bottle you still love so much today will be gone in the blink of an eye."
Give it away."
Lu Fenghe argued, "Mother, you don't know. Some things should be treasured well, and some things should be shared with others."
"You talk about what should be treasured and what should be shared."
Lu Fenghe was at a loss for words, "Let's see... what the specific thing is."
"Okay, I think it depends on your mood."
Lu Fenghe smiled dryly to lighten the atmosphere.
Suddenly, voices came from outside, "What are you two talking about?"
Mrs. Zhao stood up with Sister Zhen in her arms, Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Cheng, just opened the curtain and came in.
Mrs. Cheng lowered her head and teased Sister Zhen.
"Hey, you, it's not too late to come back tomorrow."
Lu Fenghe also stood up, followed by Mrs. Cheng's eldest son Ma Shi, "Aunt, sister-in-law."
Cheng agreed, but her expression looked a little unhappy.
"What's wrong? Who messed with you?"
Mrs. Cheng still didn't speak, and she didn't speak until Bihe looked at the tea and left.
"In the morning, Erlang told me that He Niang was going to have a lawsuit with me. Although the princess in the county prince's palace didn't take it seriously, she didn't listen to her when her teeth and tongue were still bumping.
What an evil thing, I still think that Mother He is saying something angry because she has been wronged."
"Nanny Lin came here once and then went back. She helped me pick up my jewelry on the way and taught me a few words when she went back."
Mrs. Cheng took Lu Fenghe's hand and said, "Mother He, don't be angry. If you get angry, you will be hurt."
This nonsense made both Zhao and Lu Fenghe confused.
As a bystander, Ma finally made this matter clear.
"Originally, my mother thought that my sister had been wronged. My aunt felt sorry for my sister and wanted to make peace with her. I wanted to persuade my aunt and my sister to make peace with each other. If there is no problem, Heli would not be the choice after all."
"Mama Lin went out for a trip and heard some rumors. She said that her sister was injured by a gangster because of Shen Dalang in broad daylight in Kyoto.
Clear the relationship."
Mrs. Cheng waited for the eldest daughter-in-law to finish speaking before she said: "I think these words are most likely from the Shen family. I think it's better to leave. It seems that He Niang is determined to leave and ruin He Niang's reputation.
"
To put it mildly, this has ruined Lu Fenghe's reputation and made people think that Lu Fenghe is a person who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. To put it more seriously, it is the daughter of the Lu family he is talking about and the Lu family he is talking about.
A person like Mr. Cheng who has been accompanying her husband in shopping malls for more than 20 years looks ugly. I'm afraid the rumors don't end there.
"Good sister-in-law, please tell me again, what else did Nanny Lin hear?" Lu Fenghe turned to ask Ma.
Mrs. Cheng said hurriedly: "If you have anything nice to say, please don't dirty your ears."
"Aunt, the rumors are actually correct. I am really worried that the Shen family will offend someone. Shen Nanxun and the others can be directly assassinated in the market. I still have to think more about the safety of the two children."
Mrs. Cheng didn't know much about Lu Fenghe, but she knew Mr. Zhao and the Lu family.
Mrs. Zhao looks weak and soft-spoken, but that's not because the second eldest son and the two sons of the Lu family are capable of taking charge.
In fact, Mr. Zhao is a very tough and brave person, but he just doesn't have the chance to show it off on weekdays.
Even if Lu Fenghe wants to separate the relationship in order to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, Mrs. Zhao will not allow her daughter to do this. Husband and wife are one body and share blessings and misfortunes.
Furthermore, the Lu family will not allow such a thing to happen. Even if it is more serious, even if the Shen family offends the official family and the official family turns their anger on the in-laws, the Lu family will not be able to sever the relationship and stop contacting them just because of this.
This is the bottom line for aristocratic families and the most basic principles for establishing a wealthy family.
Half of a family's achievements come from the family itself and half from the in-laws.
The larger the family, the more in-laws there will be. In-laws are all complementary to each other. If in-laws are in trouble, they should immediately cut off the relationship. I wonder how there would be any family willing to get married to them. Without the help of in-laws, a family would be It's hard to achieve, and even if it does, it's unlikely to last for a hundred years.
Of course, Mrs. Cheng would not believe that. She was just angry that the Shen family was talking nonsense, and they really agreed to what they said, and they would destroy it if they didn't get it.
Lu Fenghe comforted Mrs. Cheng, "Auntie, don't be angry, we are upright and are not afraid of slanting shadows."
Mr. Cheng naturally understands this truth, but it is also scary to say it.
"Speaking of which, why did He Niang want to make peace with her? Naturally, my aunt doesn't believe that He Niang just wanted to clear up the relationship with the Shen family."
Lu Fenghe smiled, "Ms. He is naturally trying to distance herself from the Shen family."
Mrs. Cheng said angrily, "Don't be ridiculous."
Mrs. Zhao finally found someone to express her worries to.
"I think it's okay that the Shen family has abandoned their relationship. You don't know how many things the princess and cousin have borrowed from our He Niang. I'm afraid half of the porcelain ornaments in the house belong to He Niang. Not only do they There are husbands who usually feel sorry for their sisters and take everything from the dowry."
Mrs. Cheng naturally thought of embezzling the dowry.
"What about gold, silver and jade?"
"You're not stupid enough to know what you need to hold on to."
But even so, there seems to be no need for reconciliation.
"Ms. He has been married to the Shen family for five years. Although the two or three years have passed between her brother and sister, she still has nothing to gain. There has been no trouble among the housekeepers and directors. The princess was still thinking of letting Shen Dalang accept her. After marrying her cousin girl, He Niang became more and more resentful and even wanted to marry her. "
Mrs. Cheng was shocked. The Shen family was so careless. The cousin was not taken in casually, and she was not a slave with a signed contract. She could be killed casually. The cousin was also a good concubine, so she couldn't return her. She must be a noble concubine.
That's all for Cheng, who has been indifferent for so many years.
The most shocking thing is that Ma's family has changed places. If this happens to her, I'm afraid she won't want to live anymore.
