Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1093: Still not enlightened?
I've already said all that, I've already explained it to this extent, do you understand?

Gu Erzhu glanced at his nephew's expression and picked up his teacup.

If you still don't realize it?
This isn't a son, it's a nephew. It's not appropriate to say outright that having a capable sister-in-law is a hundred times better than having a stupid one.

Don't argue with your brother about winning or losing. Your father has a fortune, and you have 40% of it. Your brother and his family only get 60% together. What's the point of arguing?

If your brother and his friends become successful, how could they possibly neglect their own brothers? This kid has still fallen for the profit-driven mentality of a businessman and forgotten what a brother is.

The thing my second uncle was most worried about has come to pass. It seems that letting the child study for a few more years didn't help the child understand much about life, and he still doesn't know where he went wrong.

commit a sin.

I still don't understand.

She's starting to ramble on again.

Yes, yes, yes, your wife is great.

You think your wife is so great, and your mother-in-law is even better? Why didn't your mother beat you to death? Why are you still alive to show off?

This silly boy, even his little Changsuo knows to praise his maternal grandmother and not leave out his paternal grandmother, otherwise his paternal grandmother will definitely be unhappy!

"Your dad's back." If you keep babbling on like that, even your dad's going to beat you up first! "Listen outside, is that your dad back?"

As he spoke, Gu Erzhu hurriedly stood up. He had made up his mind that he wouldn't wait for Gu Yangqing to return. If he waited any longer, he would inevitably blurt out the truth.

Fortunately, God didn't give him a chance to be kind-hearted. Whoever he said would arrive. So what are we waiting for? Hurry up and get on the carriage. Whoever's son it is, he should teach him!
"What's the rush? It's still a long way from closing the city gates. There's still time to get out of the city. Everything's done. Do you need to pick up anyone else? I even saw your in-laws today."

When Gu Yangqing teased him, Gu Erzhu immediately knew which of his in-laws Gu Yangqing was referring to. He even knew that his good in-laws had gone to the city early that morning to look for their son-in-law.

"He must have gone back a long time ago. He can't leave the brickyard behind; he'll be busy there for another two or three days before he doesn't have to go there every day. Where did you see him?"

"At the money exchange on East Street, the carriage was parked there, but I didn't see anyone. I thought you were coming into the city, and I was wondering why you went into the money exchange so early in the morning."

I'm speechless. He charges a few copper coins for stopping the carriage, yet he drives all the way to the other end. Why does he suddenly become so bold and unafraid of being robbed?

"Hahaha..." Gu Erzhu was laughing his head off, thinking that this was something only the Second Master Zhou could do, but this time he was probably wronged.

The East Street money exchange was not far from the county government office. Given that Master Zhou disliked being ostentatious, there was absolutely no way he would have taken a carriage all the way to the county government office before getting off.

The most suitable place to park the carriage is at the East Street Money Exchange. Firstly, because of Sanya, everyone at the money exchange knows him, Master Zhou, so it won't be conspicuous to send a job to find the eldest son-in-law.

Secondly, there's no fear of having too many copper coins at the brickyard; you can exchange them while waiting, and you can also talk to your son-in-law in the private room without worrying about being disturbed.

In the end, of course, Sanya made a lot of money by letting the East Street Money Exchange make a profit from the exchange rate difference. You can't let the money exchange get all the benefits.

Even saving a single copper coin is good; it's better than going to a teahouse, and the savings go far beyond just parking fees. Master Zhou had already calculated everything perfectly.

But can you really say that?

Even though Gu Yangqing knew that her cousin-in-law Zhou Sishun was so stingy that he couldn't bear to part with a single penny, and lamented that Zhou Sishun still didn't know how to enjoy life, Gu Erzhu felt he couldn't explain it away.

Whether Zhou Shun's real purpose in going to town to find his son-in-law was to do so early in the morning, especially given that Old Man Li had announced the division of the family property, is best left unsaid. Not everyone can understand why a father-in-law would personally make this trip to find his son-in-law so early in the morning, instead of having the son-in-law go to see him. Being a good father is tough.

He can't be too lenient, nor too harsh. He's afraid his in-laws will overthink things, and he's also afraid his son-in-law will overthink things. If he wrongs his daughter, he'll be a terrible father, practically a grandson!
But this old man, you're just laughing all the time. Your eldest son is almost being led astray by your in-laws, and you still can't stop laughing!

Gu Erzhu slapped Gu Yangqing on the shoulder. "Let's not talk about him anymore. Let's talk about our own family matters. Is your wife really not going to come to the city and instead staying home to take care of my second uncle and aunt?"

Gu Yangqing was about to raise his hand to give Gu Erzhu a slap when he heard this, so he stopped and looked at the expression on Gu Erzhu's face. "Stop beating around the bush and just say what you want to say."

"Then what I said?"

Gu Yangqing laughed in exasperation and slapped Gu Erzhu. "Sigh, it seems my eldest son said quite a bit to you at first."

瞅！
I don't quite understand, so why didn't you have a proper talk with your eldest son?
Gu Erzhu lowered his head and tugged at the bottom of his outer robe. "The children are grown up, and I have a wife and children now. It's all the same; I can't help but have my own little thoughts."

"Then why aren't your Erlang and Liulang making a fuss? You don't need to comfort me. They're my own sons, how could I not know what they're thinking?"

The eldest son, perhaps because he had heard from my father that the family business would be passed down to him, felt that the majority of the family's wealth belonged to him, while the third son received a larger dowry, which made him feel aggrieved.

He is the eldest son, that's true. The third son can't surpass him, but how much did the third son's wife bring as dowry? How much did his wife bring as dowry? Besides, didn't I make up for it for him?

He didn't think that way. He looked me over and seemed afraid that his third son's wife was better at sweet-talking than his own, and that my wife and I would only value our third son more in the future.

He just can't understand that his wife was chosen by my husband, his grandparents, and me as the eldest daughter-in-law and eldest granddaughter-in-law. He even compares his wife to his brother's wife. Can you believe it?

Gu Erzhu almost burst out laughing, then secretly pinched himself. "What's there to be angry about? Didn't you say before that your wife is a hundred times better than your brothers' wives?"

Gu Yangqing was immediately speechless, and angrily punched him, "You just know how to use my words to shut me up! I'm not exaggerating, but my eldest daughter-in-law is not bad."

“Of course, the eldest son is biased, but the eldest daughter-in-law is not bad. How dare you say that!” Gu Erzhu rolled his eyes at him. “You should spend more time chatting with your in-laws.”

"What do you mean by 'first in-laws' or 'second in-laws'? I know what you mean. The eldest daughter-in-law is not the eldest son's wife. That child is not the type to gossip."

"It's not that I'm bragging about how good my eldest daughter-in-law is, but she just can't compare to Sanya in terms of generosity. She's just as good as your eldest daughter-in-law, and she gets along very well with her younger siblings."

"If you put it that way, we can't talk anymore. Don't you know how to talk? Why compare yourself to anyone? Why isn't my Tiger Girl much better than your eldest daughter-in-law?"
"You still dare to say you weren't praising your own choice of eldest daughter-in-law? Is your eldest daughter-in-law as beautiful, kind-hearted, and sensible as mine? Or does she have a larger dowry than mine?"

Gu Yangqing was speechless. "You're not that old, yet you still want to win at everything. Why don't you show off that your older brother has studied for most of his life longer than me?"

"..."

Why aren't you talking back?

“You’re older, I’m younger, so I’ll let you have your way, you know? Unlike you, who doesn’t understand brotherly respect and how to give way to others. Look at our eldest cousin, he always knows how to be the older brother.”

"Why compare yourself to anyone else?"

"Haha, yeah, who else is there to compare yourself to? I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Don't just focus on making money; I've made that mistake before."

You still need to be attentive to your family. If the children are disobedient, don't always scold them; instead, try to comfort and soothe them. There's no problem that can't be solved.
