"My daughter is also my own biological child, so why do I take advantage of outsiders?"
Shen Laoer's face turned red with anger, Mrs. Xu couldn't bear to see her man being bullied, not even her own mother.
"Don't worry about me and my second brother. If you have time, why not urge my brother to make money and let them buy a big house for you and my father." Don't worry about your daughter's family.
Although Xu didn't finish her words, Xu's mother had already understood the meaning.
She was so angry that her hands were shaking, and she cursed in her mind why she didn't strangle her to death when she was born, but her son-in-law was here, so it was hard for her to say this.
"If I weren't your mother, I wouldn't bother to care about you. If you don't listen, you'll suffer the consequences yourself. Don't expect your brother to stand up for you."
Xu's mother didn't believe that there was any man who didn't want a son, so Shen Laoer just said nice things, but she probably didn't know how much she disliked him in her heart. She was waiting for the day when Mrs. Xu came home to ask for help.
The Xu family left with ugly expressions. Second Sister-in-law Xu went out and came back to take away the leftovers from the table. They didn't get anything during their visit. Second Sister-in-law Xu secretly scolded her sister-in-law for not being polite, and she blamed her mother-in-law for having to invite them to see her.
Now that her mother's family is gone and Ms. Xu's mood has improved, she shouldn't hold out hope for her family and suck her blood.
"Eat this bowl of sugar-watered eggs. Mom added two spoons of sugar."
Shen Laoer held the bowl and asked Xu to eat with his hands. The sugar water tasted sweet in his stomach. Xu felt that his man was more considerate now than when he first got married.
"You eat too," she bit into half of an egg and fed the other half to Shen Laoer's mouth.
"I cooked it for you, why should I eat it..." As soon as he opened his mouth, Mrs. Xu stuffed his mouth full, and he could only swallow the egg.
"Don't let me eat it next time."
Mrs. Xu didn't listen to him and kept laughing at his stupidity. She hadn't been out in the past six months, and her skin had become whiter. Shen had eaten well and had gained weight on his face. She looked better than
I used to be plump.
Mr. Xu had a delicate appearance and a rather charming smile. Shen Laoer couldn't move his eyes away for a while.
The room was filled with an atmosphere of ambiguity. Shen Laoer held Xu's hand tightly and leaned forward slightly. Before he could get in front of Xu, he was slapped in the face by Erya.
"puff."
The charming atmosphere was broken, and Shen Laoer was embarrassed and patted Erya's little hand twice. This girl ruined the relationship between her parents at a young age and deserved a beating.
Mrs. Xu looked at Shen Laoer's childish behavior in amusement, and the blush on her face had not gone away.
"Ahem," Shen Laoer cleared his throat.
"Mom told me and my eldest brother and my third brother today that from now on, I will pay one or two taels of money earned every month to the public school, and I will keep the rest for myself."
"real?"
This was a huge happy event. Mrs. Xu stood up excitedly and almost hurt her wound.
"Please wait a minute, I can still lie to you."
Shen Laoer quickly supported her. She was so startled that she didn't look like a mother.
"Why did you think of separating the family?"
"It's not a family separation. The major expenses of the family are still paid by the public house. For example, marriage matters are still handled by parents. However, in the future, each house will use its own private treasury to buy land and property, and they will not be paid by the public house."
It stands to reason that the eldest son's two sons, the eldest son has reached the age of getting married, and the second son has also entered the academy to study, so the monthly expenses are not small.
On the other hand, there are only two girls in the second house, and it will be at least ten years before they get married. No matter what, the big house takes advantage.
But Mrs. Xu knew that Mrs. Zhang was thinking about her second wife. The first wife only made five taels of silver a month by opening a food shop, while Shen Laoer earned more than ten taels a month just by making toys, and all of them were handed over to the father-in-law and suffered a loss.
It's them, after all, the family will be separated in the future. As the eldest son, the eldest son will have to provide for himself in old age, so he will definitely get the most property.
"When I save more money, I will buy a shop and open a toy store."
Shen Laoer has now found the joy of making toys. Relying on the drawings given by Jiang Miao, he also developed different styles of carriages, which are very popular among children.
"good."
The days are getting more and more exciting, Mrs. Xu is open-minded, and her confinement period is comfortable.
There was no objection from Dafang's side. The happiest person was Jiang Miao. Any money she earned in the future would be hers. Once she got the deed, she could buy land and a shop.
She is one step closer to becoming a rich woman!
Zhou family.
When Shen Yingxue came back with her daughter, she saw her mother-in-law making a face and speaking in a mean tone.
"You also know that I'm going to starve to death when I get back, why don't you hurry up and cook!"
The young lady beside Zhou's mother was smiling and holding her arm.
"Aunt, don't blame my sister-in-law. She finally went back to her parents' house, but she is not allowed to stay at the Shen family for a while."
"Bah! This is because my natal family has become rich and looks down on our Zhou family. If you want to go back to your natal family, I will ask Anzi to divorce you immediately!"
"Mom, I didn't..."
The corner of Shen Yingxue's mouth turned bitter and she retorted in a low voice. Mother Zhou looked down upon her delicate appearance and coaxed her son into confusion. She let someone else get married for several years and she had divorced and returned home long ago if she could not give birth to a son. Like her, she still provides good food and drink.
"How did you tell Anzi about letting Ayuan in?" As soon as Zhou's mother said this, the young lady next to her looked shy.
"Aunt, what did you say?"
"Why, she can't give birth to a son but she still wants to occupy the latrine and not poop. She's so beautiful!"
Shen Yingxue lowered her head after being scolded, tears welling up in her eyes. What Zhou's mother was most dissatisfied with was that she didn't give Zhou Shui'an a son.
Zhou Ling looked confused and huddled timidly in her mother's arms.
Grandma scolded her mother and cried again. It would be better if they were still at grandma's house and never came back.
"Ayuan is considerate and sensible. She can help you with housework even after entering the house."
Shen Yingxue clenched her hands, she didn't need anyone to help her with the housework.
"My husband disagrees..."
"If Anzi doesn't agree, just persuade him. It will be more comfortable if he has more people around to wait on him when he returns home. Ayuan is not an outsider. If Anzi hadn't insisted on marrying you, it would be Ayuan who married into the Zhou family now."
Zhao Yuan is the daughter of Zhou's mother's sister, and she and Zhou Shui'an were childhood sweethearts. Zhou's mother originally wanted to wait for her to have hairpins before the two got married. However, Zhou's mother's sister passed away and Zhao Yuan had to observe filial piety for three years, thus delaying the marriage. During this period, Zhou Shui'an fell in love with Zhao Yuan. She refused to marry Shen Yingxue, and when Zhao Yuan's filial piety was over, they both had children.
"Sister-in-law, I won't compete with you for my cousin. Once you get in, I will serve you well."
Zhao Yuan begged her in a low voice, Shen Yingxue pursed her lips and did not reply. A Yuan was gentle, her mother-in-law looked at her, and her husband felt sorry for her because she lost her parents. She was the only evil person in the family.
Shen Yingxue was suffocated. She wanted to refuse loudly, but she couldn't.
"The matter is settled like this. Ayuan has a gentle temperament. Please be more accommodating to her in the future."
Zhou's mother decided that if Shen Yingxue's third brother hadn't been elected, she would have divorced her daughter-in-law long ago if she didn't want to lose this family relationship. There would be no need to wrong Ayuan to be Anzi's concubine.
