Unexpectedly, as soon as Tan finished speaking, the other nephews and grandchildren of the second room also stood up to protect Lin Jinchan and argued with reason: "Second uncle, please don't embarrass Jinchan. Third uncle,
Fourth uncle, even the patriarch has invested money in the princess's sister-in-law's restaurant, so why are you forcing us to return the money and invest it in Gaosheng Restaurant? Princess Qian lives in the palace, how can she know how to run it?
Restaurant.”
"Those of you who have no eyesight, can't you tell who is the real leader in Pingning Prefecture now?"
The Tan family was now being treated politely by Lin Jinqian, and she was feeling smug in her heart. From the bottom of her heart, she looked down on these relatives who looked down upon Chu Nanzhi and his wife. She was also afraid that Chu Nanzhi would ask someone to kick her out, so she hurriedly scolded her.
Sentence: "Just wait for the money to be paid."
Then he took Lin Bo and led two servants straight out of the door.
Lin Jinchan has always been a cautious person. She is the only daughter in the family, and her husband is brought in by a bride-in. She is the least talked about in the entire Lin family.
The elder who had offended his second wife today did not want to be isolated by Mrs. Wang and the clan members anymore, so he immediately went to Chu Nanzhi to apologize:
"Sister-in-law Wang, I didn't mean to embarrass you. Everyone knows the situation in my family. My son-in-law is a piece of shit who can't be helped. It depends on me to find a way to maintain the family's livelihood. The hundred or so taels
Money is all my family's possessions, so I really don't trust it."
As she said that, she raised her eyes to look at Chu Ting again. Although the contempt in her eyes was much less, it was still full of anxiety: "It is really not appropriate for such a big restaurant to be managed by a girl who has not yet left the government."
Hearing her tone of voice become more sincere, Chu Nanzhi's attitude toward her immediately became much kinder:
"There is no distinction between men and women here. I will not look down on you because you are a man, nor will I belittle you because you are a woman. Those who are capable in everything will be my rule.
, even if she is my biological sister, if she does not have this ability, I cannot leave such a large restaurant in her hands."
It wasn't a big deal at first, but the elders of the clan didn't express their stance until now, and they didn't even speak out to persuade the clansmen until they saw him coming. Chu Nanzhi could also guess that everyone was a little worried about a girl being the shopkeeper. After all,
In this era, it has become a universally recognized fact that men are the master of the house and women are the master of the house, and it has also become a kind of virtue and ethics.
Looking at everyone with stern eyes, she suddenly curved a smile at the corner of her mouth, hooked Chu Ting's finger, and said cordially:
"Although Chu Ting is a girl with a relatively poor family, she did not avoid the worldly view and came to the city to earn money for her dowry by herself. Her courage is enough to be admired, let alone
It is said that she not only did the work in her hands well, but also won everyone's love and respect with her own abilities. How could she not be able to take on the position of the shopkeeper?"
These words made the eyes of the Lin clan begin to change, and the indifference in their eyes gradually dissipated.
"I know that this world has always been unfair to us women. Everyone thinks that a girl should only be raised in a boudoir and never leave the house. Only then can she be called gentle and virtuous. Therefore, most women think that they have married the right man.
Even though it is the greatest luck, I never feel that way."
Chu Nanzhi knew that challenging worldly views alone would not necessarily earn him respect, but might lead to ridicule.
But there were words she really wanted these women to listen to.
After thinking about it for a moment, he said: "Let's talk about myself. Everyone talks and points at me, but they have to rely on me. Many people even want to be free and easy like me.
Zi Zi, why is this?"
The women in the hall listened attentively, but no one dared to answer.
Chu Nanzhi saw the awkwardness on their faces and said bluntly: "It's not that you don't want to be unrestrained, but you don't dare to take this step. No matter how unfair the world is to us girls, there are still a few bright and dazzling people in the past dynasties.
You pursue Princess Shu not because she is a superior princess, but because she is a woman who dares to compete with the men in this world and compete with them."
After she finished speaking, even her third uncle Lin Yuan nodded with sincerity.
Since he was no longer under Chen's control, he is now more cheerful and has a clearer view of worldly affairs.
Lao Shen's eyes glanced over Chu Nanzhi's body, and admiration gradually lingered in his eyes:
"Nan Zhi's words really impressed me. Now I understand why Chang Lao and Nie, the two great scholars, made an exception and accepted you as their disciples in the first place. You and Dalang have been along this way. Without your help, I'm afraid
Your family has long been involved in the tax and bank case. You can get the love and favor of the big man and become the most distinguished girl in Pingning Prefecture. Your position and honor are all based on your own intelligence and ability.
I am convinced."
"Though Third Uncle said so, we are not as lucky as Mrs. Wang. If there is someone to support us, who would be willing to be stuck in the same place for the rest of his life."
Lin Jinchan curled her lips unconvinced.
Speaking of envy and envy, who in the entire Luyan Port does not envy Chu Nanzhi.
Xiaosi Baolin Ruijia expressed deep disdain for this woman's remarks, and sneered dissatisfiedly:
"Hmph, my mother-in-law has earned her own good life. She has never relied on anyone. She used to be scorned or even dismissed by others even when she came to investigate cases, but she never
She never complained to anyone and used her own abilities to make people surrender and respect her."
The little one's words immediately made everyone fall into deep thought.
Everyone looked at each other, feeling ashamed.
Lin Jinchan had a complete epiphany.
She suddenly stood up and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Yes, who can I blame? My sister-in-law grew up in the village, and she was able to save the whole family from disaster even in the face of a disaster like confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. I
I envy my sister-in-law, but I will no longer be jealous of my sister-in-law."
After saying that, she pulled Chu Nanzhi with a sincere look and smiled knowingly: "In the future, as long as it is my sister-in-law's decision, I will never disobey it again. Our family is the first to support my sister-in-law's decision and invest in the restaurant.
I also believe that my sister-in-law will not treat our family badly."
After talking about it, I still felt that it was not appropriate, so I quickly added: "I have the same idea as my uncles and clan uncles, and I will accept it even if it means a loss."
"Yes, we won't care about this matter anymore. We are willing to pay even if there is no money left."
All the tribesmen followed suit at this time.
"Why should we think about losses? We are in business to make money, so we should think about the good things."
Chu Nanzhi felt much relieved when she saw that she had finally convinced everyone this time.
