The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 534 Fourth Brother Has a Wife Too
When Old Mrs. Wang went to save Manager Zhou, Manager Zhou's reward was not just a few thousand taels of silver, but also his most beloved granddaughter.

Back then, the Wang family had nothing, except for Old Mrs. Wang, who still held some respect for them, but that was only a friendship from decades ago.

Manager Zhou then verbally agreed to a marriage agreement with Old Madam Wang, saying that if his family were interested in the future, they could find a grandson to marry Zhou Chuchu.

At that time, Manager Zhou didn't think too much about it. He just thought that he was getting old and his granddaughter was still young. If she stayed in the Zhou family, he was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle the situation.

It would be better to prepare a generous dowry for her and let her marry into the Wang family.

That way, the Wang family's life could improve, and the granddaughter wouldn't have to suffer.

Manager Zhou didn't know Old Madam Wang's true identity, but he admired Old Madam Wang and her husband, Old Wang. The three of them had known each other since the Wang family was in its humble beginnings, and their friendship was genuine.

Zhou Chuchu's visit this time was also due to the Zhou family being unable to control themselves anymore. In addition to a granddaughter, Manager Zhou also has two grandsons, but those two are unfilial, which makes Manager Zhou very angry.

Grandma Wang hadn't really agreed to the marriage before, but now that the Wang family has become wealthy, and they've brought their granddaughter over, refusing would seem like kicking someone after they've served their purpose.

When Xiao Ayu learned that yet another woman was coming to be her sister-in-law, she felt like she was dreaming. She remembered how difficult her older brother's marriage had been and how many hardships he had endured.

Why is it so easy for the other brothers?
Not only do they not need to find wives themselves, but wives also come to them on their own.

Grandma Wang called her three remaining grandsons together and told them about the marriage with the Zhou family.

"As for age, Silang is 15 this year, and Chuchu, if we count the years, should be 12, which is also suitable. Once she is raised at home until she is 15, she can get married. If Sanlang feels that he can wait three years, he can also marry Chuchu." Old Mrs. Wang then looked at Wang Qilang, "You are a year younger than Chuchu, but that doesn't matter."

Anyway, none of the grandsons have developed feelings for Zhou Chuchu yet, so now is the perfect time to start talking about it.

Wang Sanlang spoke first: "Grandma, your grandson is focused on his studies right now and doesn't really want to get married."

Wang Qilang also said, "Ah, I don't like people older than me—"

What's so great about older sisters? Of course, I want younger sisters!

The little sister is much cuter.

Finally, only Wang Silang remained. He looked at his older brother and then at his younger brother.

There wasn't much resistance: "Looking back, the Zhou family has been kind to our family, and Miss Zhou is also very good. I wish to marry Miss Zhou."

Old Mrs. Wang: "Have you thought this through? If neither of you is willing, then you don't have to sacrifice your marriage. Our Wang family doesn't have this rule, nor will we ever follow it."

Wang Silang said, "Grandma, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Even if I am fortunate enough to pass the imperial examination in the future, I will still be in harmony with Miss Zhou and will never betray her."

He knew the deeper meaning behind his grandmother's words. Over the years, his grandmother had rarely praised them, and had always criticized them more often.

They even resorted to beatings and verbal abuse at the drop of a hat, but upon closer examination, none of these beatings or verbal abuses were without reason.

Even though so many of their grandsons became scholars, Grandma didn't seem very happy; in fact, she seemed somewhat worried.

He happened to see Grandma give money to Mother last time, and he knew what Grandma was worried about.

She feared that her family members were too restless and had forgotten their true selves.

Especially since the eldest brother married a daughter of an official, and the second brother got engaged to a daughter of a wealthy family, the Zhou family, being a merchant family, naturally appeared to be of a lower social standing.

But he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Wang Silang accepted, and Zhou Chuchu had no objections, so they settled down at the Wang family's house.

Grandma Wang asked Zhou Chuchu to stay at home with Xiao Ayu and study together.

Zhou Chuchu, on the contrary, was interested in needlework and the like. Grandma Wang went along with her and simply hired an embroiderer to make clothes for the family and teach Zhou Chuchu needlework.

Ma had a great interest in needlework and even had her own ingenuity. Seeing that her future daughter-in-law liked it, she also developed a better impression of her.

The two future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly became close by discussing needlework. Little Ayu was also delighted to have a new playmate.

However, Zhou Chuchu didn't like studying, and her brothers didn't particularly like what the female tutor taught, so she had no choice but to go and talk to Qin Huai.

Qin Huai would always put down what he was doing and listen attentively to what Xiao Ayu had to say. If Xiao Ayu got tired of talking, he would take over and continue talking.

The two of them talked back and forth, often leaving the female teacher next to them unable to get a word in edgewise, and she could only shake her head and laugh.

The two female tutors who came to the manor both liked little Ayu very much.

Nowadays, women mostly learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and needlework. Little Ayu is interested in whatever she is taught, which is why teachers like her the most.

She is also very intelligent; she understands things almost instantly.

Not to mention the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she also listened with great interest when taught other subjects, including military affairs and current events.

Because she was small, her understanding wasn't deep enough, but she listened attentively every time.

If she didn't understand something, she would often ask Qin Huai first. Qin Huai would answer, and she would write it all down and then ask the female teacher in the next class if it was correct.

As a result, the female teacher also developed a better impression of Qin Huai.

These childhood sweethearts are truly like-minded.

May they always stay true to their original aspirations, support each other, and become an enviable couple in the future.

Meanwhile, Wang Erlang, upon hearing that Wang Silang also had a wife, immediately summoned him to his room.

"Fourth brother, you're something else! How come you managed to get a wife before the third brother?"

They were both children of the second wife, so they naturally interacted more in private.

Wang Silang said, "Because of this, Grandma and Mother have been busy looking for a wife for Third Brother recently, saying that they want to find a suitable match for Third Brother before you and I get married."

Thinking of Wang Sanlang's shocked expression, Wang Silang couldn't help but laugh.

Although he can't marry his wife for another three years, he has at least met her now, and she seems like a good girl.

But there's still no sign of my third brother's wife, and we don't know who she will be.

In any case, he will definitely get married within three years.

At this point, Wang Sanlang looked at Wang Erlang and said, "Second brother, are you so badly injured? Our injuries are almost healed in three days, but yours has been in bed for almost a month."

Wang Erlang felt extremely aggrieved when he talked about it: "It's all because of Grandma. She told me to learn my lesson and not to let the doctor prescribe any healing medicine for me. She told me to let myself recover slowly. The outside is fine, but I still feel a dull ache in my internal organs. How can I dare to get up?"

The brothers had been practicing martial arts for three years, so they shouldn't have been beaten so badly. It's just that they didn't dare to fight back at first, for fear of hurting someone.

As a result, Wang Erlang was almost beaten to death.

Afterwards, Jiang Wujing told them that after her great-grandmother returned from the Prince's Mansion, the second young master of the Jiang family was beaten half to death and was still lying in bed screaming, but that couldn't erase the fact that Wang Erlang had been beaten.

“Grandma has agreed that we and Ayu can go on our study tour together on August 23, a few days after your wedding,” Wang Silang said. “We’ve all agreed that if you can’t bear to leave your wife, we’ll go on our own.”

"I need to go—hiss!" Wang Erlang grimaced, clutching his stomach, "I'll definitely recover as soon as possible."

Wang Silang said, "We must practice our martial arts diligently from now on, otherwise we may not be so lucky next time."

If it weren't for Xiao Ayu arriving with the lamb, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
If it weren't for the fact that the great-grandmother of the Jiang family and Grandma were old acquaintances, the conflict between their family and the Jiang family would never have been resolved so easily.
