"Do you still have your dead second brother in your eyes?" Old Man Zhang asked with his eyes widened.
Boss Zhang: "..."
Mr. Zhang’s mother-in-law pulled him, walked up to Mr. Zhang and said, “Dad, if we don’t have a second brother in our eyes, how can we let Erya eat and drink for free at home and grow up to this big?”
"How can I, Erya, eat and drink for free?" Erya's grandma looked at her eldest daughter-in-law, tightly holding the hands of her children and grandchildren, and decided to settle the accounts with them today, "Erya lost her father when she was three years old, and when she was five years old, she lost her father.
She lost her mother at the age of six. She did housework at the age of six and went to the fields at the age of eight. She is a girl, but she does no less work in the fields than you two aunts. Who in the village doesn't say that Erya is diligent?"
What Erya's grandma said was true, so Erya's uncles and aunts couldn't find anything to say to refute.
Erya's grandmother said again: "Erya is your second brother's only daughter. He died in the war. Mrs. Song is kind-hearted and gives a job to make money for the families of the soldiers who died in the war. After all, it is Erya who should go."
Yes, no matter what happens, it won’t be your turn.”
Zhang Laosan's daughter-in-law rolled her eyes and said: "Mom, Erya, this girl will get married sooner or later. The daughter who gets married will throw water away. You let her do such a profitable job, don't let your
What good will it do to the family if our sons go? Is your mind broken?"
"That's right." Zhang Laosan fully agreed with his wife's words.
Zhang Laosan's daughter-in-law took a deep breath and decided to persuade the two elders to take Erya to Izumo Villa, saying that if Erya couldn't do it, she should replace her with a man from her family.
"Mom and dad, think about it carefully. The girls belong to other people's families. We are the only family. If the family has an income of three taels of silver a month, we can send your two eldest grandsons to study. From now on
If they win the top prize, our family won't have to be a loser for the rest of their lives."
Old Man Zhang and Er Ya Nai both had serious faces and said nothing, and outsiders could not tell what they were thinking.
Old man Zhang has two grandsons and four granddaughters. The eldest granddaughter belongs to the old man’s family and is already married. The third and fourth granddaughters belong to the third grandson’s family. The two grandsons are the youngest, one is only eight years old now.
They belong to the oldest family. One is only six years old and belongs to the third oldest family.
He doesn't want to send his two grandsons to study so that they can have a promising future and avoid being a fool for the rest of their lives. However, he can't do anything unconscionable and make the two of them feel at ease underground.
When Zhang Laosan's daughter-in-law saw that the two elders had stopped talking, she thought they had been persuaded by her, so she winked at her elder brother and sister-in-law.
Boss Zhang looked at his parents angrily and said: "Shuanzi is very smart. If he studies, he will have a great future. Even if you don't think about your son, you should also think about your grandson!"
Zhang Laosan's wife rolled her eyes, this sister-in-law really can't speak at all.
"Dad, you can take Erya to Izumo Villa tomorrow! Just say that Erya is not good enough and can't do the job, so he should be replaced by one of her two uncles." She wanted to say that she should be replaced by her second uncle, but
She was also afraid that the boss and his wife would cause trouble with her.
Erya bit her lower lip tightly. She wanted to tell her grandparents that she should be her uncle or uncle! However, her throat was tight and she couldn't say a word.
The silent old man Zhang spoke, looked at his son and daughter-in-law and said: "We can't change it. I only recognize Erya. You should give up on this!"
Before his son and daughter-in-law could express their anger, he looked at his granddaughter and said, "Erya, you are from our old Zhang family after all. You went to work at Izumo Villa. You can save one tael every month for your own work."
The remaining two taels of the dowry will be given to your family until you get married."
"Okay." Erya nodded with red eyes, even if she didn't keep a couple of dollars before getting married, she was still willing.
