Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again

Chapter 569 Finale ()
It turned out that the news of Mrs. Hu's serious illness spread in the capital, and many families came to visit her. Some of them came to visit, but in fact they were trying to find out the truth. When they secretly learned that Mrs. Hu was very likely to be beyond help, they set their sights on Yuan Heng. Although he was the father of four children and had a concubine, the Yuan family was still a prominent family. In the past two years, there were signs of prosperity again. In addition, with relatives like Cheng Daqi and General Niu's Mansion, Yuan Heng was still a favorite in the eyes of his mother-in-law.

Hu was still alive. The person who proposed marriage to Yuan Heng had already spoken. Hu heard the gossiping old woman and died in anger.

"Isn't it too hasty that the person who just proposed to me shows up at the door?"

Cheng Xiaosi felt a little uncomfortable after the death of the person. It had nothing to do with feelings or anything like that. It was just that such a living person was gone, and it was inevitable to feel a little sad.

Besides, no matter how bad it was, she was a woman who gave birth to three children. Looking back, there was nothing good about it?

Is it necessary to be so urgent?
Yuan Su sighed. He didn't have the time to comment on this matter. Cheng Xiaosi felt unhappy and said a few words to Madam Zhang when he met her. Madam Zhang said, "The world is unfair to women. If a wife remarries after her husband dies, she will definitely be criticized. At worst, she will be accused of being cruel and heartless and will not be tolerated by the world."

"On the contrary, after sighing that his wife is not blessed, people will congratulate the husband for finding a beautiful wife. If the husband stays with his wife for a year or two, he is loyal and worthy of praise from the world."

Cheng Xiaosi felt upset when he heard this. "I think most of the injustice is imposed by women on other women. When a husband dies, they persuade his wife not to remarry, to take care of the family business left by her husband for her son, and to help her son start a family. When her husband is gone, she should live for her son."

"On the contrary, they would persuade their husbands to remarry as soon as possible, because after all, the children need to be taken care of, they also need to be served, and the chores at home need someone to take care of them."

"Oh, no, I can't keep thinking like this, it's too painful."

Madam Zhang smiled lightly, "Why do you need to think about these things? Not all men are like this. Sometimes you have to consider the most practical issues, such as who will take care of the children and who will take care of the money. After all, a person has limited energy. Besides, Wu Lang is not a heartless person."

"His eldest brother's situation is different. He has three children to take care of. Madam Yuan will eventually run out of energy as she ages. When the children grow up, there will be more things to worry about. There are also responsibilities and shackles that cannot be avoided. It is understandable for him to remarry. People in the secular world are no exception after all."

Cheng Xiaosi felt better after hearing this, and he could discuss this matter with Yuan Su calmly, "I've thought about it. Big brother will be cautious if he wants to marry again. It's not easy to marry an outstanding girl. Mother will have to make a promise to her. I think I should talk to mother about that sticky housekeeper Quan myself, and let her make this as a condition for big brother. If we want to live a good life, we still have to consider big brother's situation."

Mrs. Niu had promised this in advance when she proposed to marry her elder sister.

"I really don't want to worry about that. Our little family is enough for me to worry about. I also have three children to take care of."

Yuan Su said he would listen to her, "As long as you don't feel wronged."

Cheng Xiaosi smiled, "I'm not wronged. I'm still waiting for you to earn a position for me. I have power and money, so why would I need the power of a housekeeper?"

Yuan Su smiled and said that after they came to Funan, they had entrusted all the business in the capital to reliable people to take care of it, and they made a lot of money every year. "I'll give it all to you when I get back."

"I will earn you another imperial title, and then ask your son to raise your title higher. Then you will be an old lady with unlimited glory."

Thinking of that scene, Cheng Xiaosi laughed out loud. After she had enough fun, she asked Yuan Su to write a letter to Yuan Heng to comfort him. She also wrote a letter to her mother-in-law to express her attitude.

Half a month later, Madam Yuan received the letter and was filled with emotion. What some people are vying for, others discard as trash. How could Madam Hu not understand that others might not have the slightest intention of competing with her?
Perhaps it would be more irritating if he figured it out. After a month's rest, Yuan Xin went out again, this time to pick up his mentor, Mr. Zhang, to live with him. He had discussed it with Cheng Xiaosi beforehand, and Cheng Xiaosi said that there was no problem at all for having one more person to feed and drink in the mansion, not to mention that he was a great scholar. If it wasn't for Yuan Xin, she wouldn't have been able to invite him.

Only good for her.

Mr. Zhang arrived in Funan two months later. As soon as he arrived in Funan, scholars and students came in droves, all wanting to get his advice, and the gate of the Yuan family was crowded with people.

The old gentleman could not stand the noise, so Yuan Su suggested picking a fixed day every month to go to the school run by the government to give lectures to the students and answer any questions together. He could just refuse visits on weekdays. The old gentleman agreed after a little thought, and thus Cheng Xiaosi became the greatest craftsman.

Perhaps it was because he had been quiet for too long, or perhaps it was because he had no children, the old man liked Zhuan'er, Xiaoyu and Xiaoxiao very much. In addition, the children were very nice and coaxed the old man to give them some advice on knowledge. He would also let Xiaoxiao sit on his lap and watch him play chess. Cheng Xiaosi was very happy and took care of the old man's food, clothing, housing and transportation. He sent all the good things to him. At the same time, the two merchant sons who followed Zhuan'er spent a lot of money to send things to him, trying to please the old man. Even if he occasionally gave his own son some advice, it was of no use.

Another beneficiary was Huabao. On the second day after the old gentleman came, Huabao asked to move his nest hanging on the tree branch to the yard where the old gentleman lived. The reason was that the old gentleman was too knowledgeable and listening to him talk would help his practice. For this reason, he even stopped asking about the gossip outside and became a studious chicken.

"Goro's little family."

Yuan Pei felt mixed emotions after hearing the news. Originally, they were a scattered family of six, then it became seven, and now it has become eight. "They will all have to live with Wu Lang."

The young couple suddenly had three more elderly people.

Instead, he, the genuine old man, was left out.
Madam Yuan started with a look of joy in her eyes, "This is Wulang's blessing. There are many people in this world who want to take care of Mr. Zhang until his death. If it weren't for the relationship with his uncle, how could Wulang have such an opportunity?"

"I'll send a letter to Xiao Si later to see if she needs a few more people to go over there. Now that she's brought home, she should be taken good care of."

"I don't worry about Wu Lang and Xiao Si at all. I need to worry about Da Lang. What about the Hu family?"

After Mrs. Hu passed away, the Hu family came to attend the funeral and brought three girls of marriageable age. Even Mrs. Hu came. The stepmother who had been harsh on her legitimate daughter said with tears in her eyes that she felt sorry for her grandson and that a child without a mother was pitiful. She was worried and wanted to keep the girl from the Hu family, with the child's cousin helping to take care of her. She was too embarrassed to say her idea out loud.

"Recently, they asked about Mrs. Hu's dowry. The Hu family is really desperate and they want to get back their daughter's dowry."

After Hu's burial, her family counted and recorded her dowry. "There weren't many when she came, and there's even less left now. I asked Dalang, and he said he never spent her dowry and never asked about it. Most likely, he gave it to her brothers."

"I told the Hu family that if they return the dowry, they will also write a letter of apology. This family is so shameless."

Yuan Pei frowned slightly and quickly made a decision in his mind. Some people will want more if you give them a little benefit. What if you give them a disaster?

"Don't worry about the Hu family's affairs. Find another marriage for Dalang as soon as possible."

Mrs. Yuan nodded in agreement. Half a year later, Cheng Xiaosi received a letter from home, and Yuan Heng had arranged a marriage.
