The family said goodbye and sat on two sides to talk.
After sitting down, Qiao Mingjin quietly looked at Ms. Liu.
Although the Liu family's facial features are not as exquisite as those of the Lan family, they are well maintained. In addition, the imperial doctor from the palace often comes to the house for treatment. Although he is a few years older than the Lan family, he is not comparable to the Lan family who endured hardships in the countryside.
.
She looked like a grandmother, but her face was still tender, with few wrinkles and few white hairs. She looked only a few years older than Qiao's mother.
Very rich.
Fang, who stayed with her in Shangjing City, was also incomparable. Although Fang was younger than her, she looked older than her.
It's no wonder that Qiao Xingcun treated their room a little more favorably.
In Qiao Mingjin's opinion, both Fang and Liu were good at calculating people, but Liu seemed to be much smarter than Fang.
Fang is a person who expresses everything on his face. His emotions, anger, sorrow, disgust and disdain can be clearly seen on his face. But Liu should at least hide it deeper.
Even if he looked down upon Qiao Jingkun, he could still smile and exchange a few pleasantries. He led Qiao Jingshan to talk to Qiao's father very affectionately.
They are like a pair of biological brothers who have a great relationship.
Qiao Mingjin has always been wary of such deep-thinking people.
Anyway, people regarded her family as just country people, and she was happy to play the role of country people.
Then he held his daughter and just sat on the chair, smiling and saying nothing.
On any occasion, if you don't strike up a conversation, try to lighten the mood, or whatever, it doesn't matter. If you have a smile on your face, at least others won't have too many opinions on you.
Ever since they came back, Qiao Mingjin had always noticed Liu and Fang's attitude toward the Lan family. As concubines, they had to have their concubines come back from afar to take care of them.
Qiao Mingjin didn't want to get used to Liu's problems.
Her grandmother Lan doesn't want to fight, and neither does she, but that doesn't mean she has to cater to them.
I rely on my father, my mother, and myself to support myself, not them.
Mrs. Liu was much more affectionate than Mrs. Fang. She pulled Qiao Jingkun and cried and complained, saying that she was not in good health these days and couldn't go out. She couldn't see her close relatives and missed the good time with her family.
Qiao Mingjin just laughed when she heard this.
When Mrs. Liu asked her, she would just answer. Don't expect her to take the initiative. She wouldn't answer any of Mrs. Liu's clichés.
Ms. Liu took Mother Qiao and exchanged some warm greetings with her. She touched the thick calluses on Mother Qiao's hands and shed tears. She pressed the handkerchief to the corners of her eyes again and again.
They kept crying and said that they had worked hard. It was hard to dig food in the fields and it was not easy to raise several children. If the family knew about it, they would have sent people to look for them long ago.
In the end, Mingqi got goosebumps and rolled her eyes frequently.
In the end, even Father Qiao couldn't bear his enthusiasm for her. He grabbed all his children and stood up to leave.
Ms. Liu still kept trying to persuade her to stay, and stood up without wanting to say goodbye.
The last family almost escaped from the yard.
It's strange that a widowed second-married girl can maintain a foothold in the Qiao family.
After Mrs. Liu left Qiao Mingjin's house, she glanced at her son and daughter-in-law, and said slowly: "This Qiao Jingkun is not something to be afraid of. His temperament is not like your father, but more like your grandfather. I am afraid that he will only be a scholar for the rest of his life. Guard him."
It’s just a matter of living with the family business. The whole family is dull. I’m afraid his two sons will never succeed, and their future will be limited in the future. Our family is not in a hurry to move.”
Qiao Jingshan naturally knew what his mother was thinking.
Her mother had cared about her identity all her life. Although she had the help of her aunt in the palace earlier, he was no different from his legitimate son. But when he returned to Yizhou, the tribesmen did not recognize his identity.
Before Qiao Jingkun was found, the position of clan leader had been filled by others.
His mother had always wanted to find him the identity of his legitimate son, and then use his identity to obtain the identity of the main wife for herself, thus erasing the traces of the widow's second marriage.
It's just that no matter how good the original plan was, it's useless. Now Qiao Jingkun's family is back.
"Mom, let's move away. Everything has been packed up. Now they are all in charge of the ancestral home. What else can we do? When the father was here, there was no room for the son's identity to change. What's more, the father is not here either.
Already."
Mrs. Liu glared at him and said: "It's just that your father is gone, so we can make some plans. We just need to use some money to go to your third uncle and a few clan elders..."
Qiao Jingshan stroked his forehead and said: "Mom, if it was possible before their family came back, how can it be possible now? Even though Qiao Jingkun is gone, there are still two nephews here. And my father also said before he died, if the eldest brother and his family
If you can't find it back, that share of the family property will belong to the clan."
Ms. Liu gritted her teeth bitterly: "Your father is just partial! No matter how good he is to us, mother and son, he remains silent whenever our identities are mentioned. Before he dies, he has given away such a large share of the family property and I don't know whether he will get it back or not."
To the one who gets it!"
After a pause, he added: "Now our family doesn't seek that share of the family wealth. Once we have status, what will we lose in the future? We still have to seek the position of the first wife..."
Qiao Jingshan was a little helpless: "Mom, my son is now a fifth-rank official, has no shortage of money, and will not live in Yizhou in the future. Why should he care about this status? If you have such ambition, you might as well win over the people in the clan.
In the future, if you keep your filial piety, you will gain a good reputation, not to mention being promoted, as long as you keep your original official position. When your son recovers, whether he can find a real job or not depends on what the clan has to say."
"Over there at the County Prince's Mansion..."
"Mom, my cousin is no longer here, and my nephews are only interested in me. Besides, the Holy Spirit doesn't think much of them either. They haven't found anything they can do. How can they take care of the child? In the future, we still have to rely on our son to recover.
The clan is here to help. No matter what, the identity of the eldest brother’s family cannot be changed. Even if they take a step back and their family encounters something unexpected, the clan will still give them a room for their adopted heirs. With Fang’s room, so will we.
It’s difficult. In the end, it will only make others easier.”
Qiao Jingshan's wife Zhang has been listening silently.
She gave birth to a son and a daughter. Even though Qiao Jingshan did not have enough money, with her dowry, her two children were not afraid of not being able to eat, and her natal family was still there.
She didn't want her family to be criticized because of Mrs. Liu's thoughts, which would eventually cause her two children to lose their good reputation and affect their marriage.
Then she opened her mouth and said, "Mom, my husband's matters are more important."
Mrs. Liu glared at the couple and stopped talking.
I understand to some extent that the situation is a done deal.
When Qiao Mingjin and his family left Liu's yard, they all let out a long sigh of relief.
This kind of singing, chanting, and beating is really not something that ordinary people can do.
Due to her grandmother Lan's dull temperament and her father and mother Qiao's lack of words, they gave birth to several children who were all taciturn.
If we really want to live together, we really have to be obedient.
With Father Qiao's temperament, if he had not left with the Lan family and stayed with Qiao Xingcun, with such a strong pillow wind blowing, the last trace of father-son affection might have been wiped out.
Where is it like now, feeling a sense of guilt, and finally sharing most of the family property to the eldest son at the end of his life?
The so-called drink and peck is nothing more than that.
Fang and Liu were packing up their things and moving out, so it was natural that Qiao Jing'an's family could no longer stay in their ancestral home.
Early that morning, Qiao Jing'an and his wife brought their two sons and one daughter to pay their respects to the Lan family.
He said he wanted to move out.
Probably because of his status as a concubine, Qiao Jing'an's life was not very satisfactory over the years under the oppression of Liu and Fang. He also married the Huang family, who was also a concubine, and was oppressed by those two families.
Fortunately, Mr. Huang is a man who can make a living. Although his family has little income, they can still live a comfortable life.
And because both husband and wife suffered from the status of concubine, Qiao Jing'an had no other women besides his original wife Huang. His two sons and one daughter were also the children of Huang.
Whether it's because of the master-servant relationship of Aunt Xia who died young, or Qiao Jing'an's kindness, Lan and his father both like Qiao Jing'an's family very much.
Lan also wanted to keep Qiao Jing'an and his family in the ancestral home together, but Qiao Jing'an declined. The people in the two rooms had moved out, and he could no longer live in the ancestral home.
Lan looked at Qiao Jing'an's eldest son, Qiao Mingzhen, who was now sixteen years old and looked delicate and handsome, and liked it very much.
Then he said to the two Huangs: "Since you are determined to move away, I won't stop you, but we are all of the same family, and you will still have to interact with each other more often in the future."
Seeing the two Huangs nodding in agreement, they added: "Ming Zhen is also older, and he happens to be studying with Ming Jue to prepare for the next exam. Ming Yu is only one year younger than Ming Yu, and Ming Yu is both
Now that the engagement is set, Mingyu will meet her soon."
Seeing Mingyu blushing and fidgeting shyly, Mingyu pulled her out with a smile.
Seeing her two sisters running out, Mrs. Lan added: "I have read the list of your house separation. It is indeed much worse than the two houses. But with me and your eldest brother here, I will naturally read it in the future."
Your eldest brother will also do his part in the marriage of your children."
When Huang heard this, his eyes immediately turned red.
When the father-in-law died, he only had time to give one half of the family property to his eldest brother, and the other half was only shared among the three sons. Youfang, if Liu and Liu are here, what can they get from this house?
The men in her family also don't want to fight. He has been suppressed by the three brothers since he was a child. He will not resist and will take whatever is divided. Not to mention that the house is small, the shop cannot make money, and the farm is far from inconvenient to manage. Thinking of it.
When her three children reached the age of marriage, she felt sad.
Now I heard from my aunt that the eldest brother will contribute to the future marriage of the three children, which naturally means that she will help with the dowry and betrothal gift.
That was enough. She could feel at ease.
She was a concubine, so the dowry she received when she got married was naturally very limited, and she had already spent seven or eighty-eight dollars over the years. Having a legitimate mother is better than anything else. In the future, her family will not be able to survive, and this direct brother's family
He will always pull his own strings.
The couple took their two sons and knelt down to thank Lan.
Lan asked Father Qiao and Mother Qiao to help them up, and talked with them for a while before letting them go back to pack up. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation.

ps: I’ve been video chatting with my family far away for more than an hour, and it’s not even the third update. I’ll try to do the fourth update tomorrow.
