Yue Huasheng turned to look at Yue Zhongyao, looking worried, very worried about his nephew.
In his in-law family, there were only three brothers in his generation, and the heirs were not prosperous.
His eldest brother was now the clan leader, and he only had one son, and he did not have more than one son. His second brother, on the other hand, gave birth to three sons. However, he looked at him coldly, thinking that this third nephew was the only one who was promising.
There are not many sons, so there are not many grandchildren in this third generation.
His eldest brother Yue Fusheng has two grandsons, but his two sons only have one grandson, and the other is still in his mother's womb. It is not known whether he will be a boy or a girl. Although his second brother Yue Guisheng has three sons, he only has two.
A grandson.
The third nephew, the most promising, only had one daughter. Now the mother-in-law does not live at home.
Although Yue Huasheng disdained Wu's style, he was still very satisfied with Qiao's nephew-in-law.
What's more, since Mr. Qiao moved out, he has gotten along very well with his mother-in-law and two daughters-in-law. The three mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law also love to interact with her.
That child is knowledgeable and courteous, does a good job in dealing with people, is good at raising children, and is good at living. I don’t know why Madam Wu always dislikes her.
If the parents had stopped him and the marriage had been ordered by the parents, would the man named Liu in the city have caused trouble? There would be no equality between the wives. Is there any need for a family to live in two separate places?
Yue Huasheng let out a long sigh when he thought of this.
It was really hard for him to see his nephew coming to open up wasteland in the hot weather.
Then Wu doesn’t know how to be someone else’s mother? On such a hot day, look around and see where there are cats working in the fields? Not even a ghost can be seen.
How much more to open up wasteland in this day?
It’s not like the family is out of food and has to go without food.
Yue Huasheng looked at his nephew leaning against the tree trunk, his mouth pursed with a solemn look on his face, and he was a little angry.
He slapped him hard and said: "You also climbed back from the bloody storm. You have been practicing in the yamen for another year. Why are you becoming more and more soft!"
Yue Zhongyao felt a little pain because his fourth uncle's hands were so strong, so he stroked his back with his hands.
"I'm talking to you! You've been back for a while now, why are you still so lukewarm with Wan'er's mother? Are you just letting them, mother and daughter, live outside?"
"Fourth uncle..." Yue Zhongyao looked lonely.
Yue Huasheng was a little angry that he wouldn't argue.
Said: "This woman has to be coaxed. You did something wrong in the first place. If you hadn't provoked the Liu family, how could Jinniang have moved out and lived elsewhere? In the four years when you were away, your mother did a lot.
She was doing things around a lot, but she didn't complain at all. She was immersed in embroidery with her fingers flying, and she did a few baskets of needlework to exchange money for your parents and the whole family. It's a good thing that she waited until you came back, otherwise Jinniang would be so young.
Can't you be widowed? You have to think of her well. Your mother can't stay with you forever. It will still be Jin's mother who will accompany you in the future."
Yue Zhongyao felt sour in his heart and said, "Uncle, I know."
"You know what the heck! I see that you have been back for more than a year, but you have done nothing and let your mother do whatever you want! Fortunately, Jin mother is not the noisy one. If she were the aggressive and noisy one, you would have a headache! So!
If you don't catch a good person, if she really loses her temper in the future and leaves, I'll see where you can find someone!"
Yue Huasheng has lived his whole life, what has he never seen?
Jin Niang is not bad looking, she is literate, and she is not as vulgar as the villagers. How could they not find someone who knows both coldness and warmth apart from their in-laws?
Now he was watching with cold eyes the young couple living their separate lives, and he felt extremely anxious.
Every time my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law go to Jin's house to enjoy the cool air and talk, they never forget to tell her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be nice and give Jin's best advice.
He saw that Jin Niang was in peace, but this stupid nephew would retreat instead of advancing. If he retreated, his wife and daughter would go with him!
What a fool!
It seems that those four years of experience on the battlefield were not enough.
Yue Huasheng was about to say something else when he saw that the circles in Yue Zhongyao's eyes were a little red and he sighed, unable to blame him harshly anymore.
It's not easy for this kid either.
Not only did the family help to persuade them to make peace, but they also wished that the two of them would live apart. I don’t know what Mrs. Wu was thinking.
As long as the young couple has reached this stage, they should separate the family as soon as possible while the parents and brothers are still harmonious, so that they can come and go frequently in the future. If they break up in the end, they don't know how to move around in the future.
He and the eldest brother also tried to persuade the second brother, and the second brother actually listened to what he said, but the second sister-in-law, Mrs. Wu, didn't seem like a person who could listen to advice.
Up to this point, I was still acting like my mother-in-law, and I was still trying to manipulate others.
A smart person should soften up now, put down his dignity for the sake of his son, and ask his wife and son to live a good life. Can Jinniang still turn around and run away? She is a mother, and she doesn't care about others.
And for my daughter’s face?
After we divorce, if we find a stepfather, will his reputation be good when we get married in the future?
There is a mother who has become a monk. Who knows what kind of temperament this daughter has and whether she will live a peaceful life?
Wu has not seen the situation clearly yet, so she may be waiting for Jin Niang to turn around and ask her for advice.
It’s really hard to understand.
Yue Huasheng brushed the green weeds around him, feeling a little angry in his heart.
It was just the family affairs of his nephew's family, and he couldn't interfere too much. If it were his daughter-in-law, he and his wife would have brought their son to the door long ago.
It was rare for Yue Zhongyao to express his true feelings in front of his elders. He stared at the wasteland in front of him with a determined look on his face: "Uncle, I want to live a good life with Jin Niang."
Yue Huasheng turned to look at him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you are right to think so."
He also followed Yue Zhongyao's gaze to the wasteland not far away, and said: "Jin Niang is not a cruel person. You put down your body and coax her, say a few soft words. For Wan'er's sake, she will
I won’t abandon you. Your days will be long in the future. The most important thing is for two people to live together. It doesn’t matter even if they don’t talk and are cold or have grudges. The most important thing is that two people have to live together.
, otherwise no matter how much love there is, it will fade away. Besides, you two are still bound by children, Jin Niang will live a good life with you even if she looks at Wan'er's face."
Yue Zhongyao listened word by word, nodding his head from time to time.
Yue Huasheng looked at him again and said, "What are your plans? Are you really going to quit your job and live in the village?"
Yue Huasheng was not without regrets that Yue Zhongyao resigned from the job of arresting the head.
Seeing that there was going to be an official in the family, this one suddenly disappeared again.
These days, the status level is so high that ordinary people would shake their legs even if they look at the father-in-law in the yamen.
And it was not easy for their family to have a promising child or grandchild who squeezed into the yamen. Before the whole family could get sick, he himself resigned.
In fact, the benefits of having an official in the family who is on official duty are obvious.
Just say that when they pay public grain and official taxes, no one dares to bully them. In the past, one stone of grain, which was weighed at home, was all that was left to fight when it arrived at the yamen.
And since this nephew started working as an errand in the yamen, the amount he picked was the same as the amount he handed in. The whole family couldn't help but be overjoyed.
If this nephew has better fortunes in the future, why worry about the prosperity of their Yue family?
But it's good that everything will be prosperous once we return home. Although it's a bit hard to work in the fields, the weather has been good these years. As long as we work harder, we won't starve to death.
Yue Huasheng looked at the confusion on the faces of these three nephews. He thought that there was a gap in his heart, right?
He sighed and said to Yue Zhongyao: "When Jinniang bought four acres of good paddy field in the village, she couldn't plant it herself, so she entrusted it to our family. Now that you are back, you can take it back and plant it. It's a good life
After taking care of it, it will be enough for your family of three to eat and drink. In the future, you will be more diligent and open up a few more acres of wasteland. Although the land is thin, growing some beans, pumpkins and winter melons will also be a supplement. In your spare time, you can find some jobs to do, and your days will be better.
You can always get through it."
Yue Zhongyao was stunned when he heard this.
He had never heard that Jinniang had bought a paddy field in the village. She didn't go there either, so he thought she didn't like going to the fields and probably didn't have much money to buy a field. Unexpectedly, she bought a few acres of land to rent to others.
Family cultivation.
But that was okay. If his mother found out that Jinniang had bought the land but did not plant it herself, and rented it to his fourth uncle but refused to allow his family to plant it, there would be another big fuss.
But it is said that the purchase and sale of land in the village cannot be hidden from others, right? I don’t know how the village chief helped hide it.
Yue Zhongyao turned to look at Yue Huasheng and said, "No, it's better for my fourth uncle to help with the planting. She has to help manage the workshop, take care of the housework, and take care of the children by herself, and the work in the fields is too busy.
And I haven't divided my family yet, so I can't take it over. If I open up a few more acres of wasteland, I might be able to get one or two more acres when the family is divided. No matter how thin the land is, I can still get some grain. What's more, if I don't cultivate it for three years,
As for paying taxes, no matter how small the harvest is, it still belongs to you."
Yue Huasheng patted his shoulder happily and said: "You are right to think so. You are still young now, and no one knows what you will be like in the future. Maybe there will be other opportunities in the future. Just treat it like this.
Training. Jin Niang is a good person, you have to coax her well, otherwise it will be difficult to get her back when she becomes cold-hearted."
Yue Zhongyao nodded repeatedly to Yue Huasheng and said, "Don't worry, fourth uncle, I have remembered everything."
Yue Huasheng chattered a few more words and sat with him for a while. He put up an awning with his hands, and the sun above his head was still shining brightly. He held the straw hat in his hand and slapped his face several times.
It was a little cooler, so I put the straw hat on my head and stood up.
"I'm going back. The sun is still very hot today. If you take a rest before going to the ground, you can't catch the heat. Your mother is a bitch, so I'm afraid she won't be able to call a doctor for you."
After saying that, he picked up the basket with cow dung, picked up the iron clip, held it in his hand, and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Yue Zhongyao stood up and walked him a few steps away. He turned back and leaned on the tree trunk, thinking about it again in his mind. When the sun set a little, he went to the ground again with the hoe. (To be continued. If you like this
