Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1148 It is self-evident
Zhou Banxia understood that the reason her father had gone to such lengths to bring up other people's gossip was to tell her not to trust anyone easily.

Especially Zhao Sanye, who also had business dealings with her.

Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately stated that her workshop had never shipped goods without receiving bank drafts in any of its business dealings with anyone.

"What if your Uncle Qian's eldest daughter-in-law gives you an extension of a month or two, and repeatedly says that she will settle the bill together with the next time her manager comes to pick up the goods?"

"Good question!"

What are you giving away if you just blindly follow the crowd?

Zhou Banxia just wanted to punch Gu Wenxuan. "You're so lively!" she thought to herself, shaking her head inwardly. She stood up and used her chopsticks to put some food in Zhou Sishun's bowl.

She then gestured for her father to eat some food before drinking, and then replied, "She won't. No matter how tight-fisted she is, she won't let me have a month or two of leeway for the sake of a small matter."

Even if the payment terms are clearly stated in the contract, she should at least consider how her in-laws would view her if she were intentionally making things difficult for me.

Even if the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Jiang family privately asked me for money, she would never break her promise regarding the payment for goods.

When I decided to add two more families, I took into account that each of the daughters-in-law came from a different family than their husbands, so they would be less likely to make decisions on their own.

They're always talking about princesses and noble ladies. If a woman can't even handle basic social etiquette when she's the eldest granddaughter-in-law of a household, how can she possibly be expected to be the matriarch of the family in the future?

I can guarantee that this is absolutely impossible. Even if any of them wanted to use this to test what kind of person I am, they would never start with the payment for the goods.

That's why they say there's no order without rules. Once the rules are set, whoever breaks them first is undoubtedly contradicting themselves. Even if I give them a month or two of leeway, I won't lose out.

"Let alone women, even men who are too shrewd, calculating, and unwilling to suffer the slightest loss—who would want to deal with such a person? It's better to be foolish, Father."

You yourself said you're stupid, yet you still call me "Dad"?

Even if you call me grandpa, it won't work!

look!
Your dad wants to pout!

"Son-in-law?"

what?
Why did you contact me first?
Gu Wenxuan quickly gathered his thoughts. "I think my wife makes a lot of sense. Of course, since it's a set rule, it's more appropriate to follow it."

You're such a master of balancing things!

"Come on, let's drink first, and chat as we drink," Gu Wenxuan said, as he poured wine for his father-in-law.

"It's full, it's full."

"I understand, I understand what you mean. When things are full, they will overflow. Everything should be done in moderation. Don't worry, my wife isn't really stupid."

She's really naive, but I'm not naive either. You've entrusted such a good daughter to me, and if she suffers, then I'll be so sorry for you.

Speaking of you betrothing such a wonderful daughter to me, my dear father-in-law, I must first offer you a toast. Here, you don't need to finish it, just take a sip—”

The little river chuckled as it listened.

"What are you laughing at? Just looking at you makes me full. Hurry up and eat. Mother, I'm also toasting you. I'm toasting you because you think I'm good in every way, and no one else is as good as me." "Hahaha..." The third son-in-law called out to his mother, and Li Shi was happy and excited. "Dad, did you hear that? I told you that Liu Lang and I are close."

When Zhou Sishun heard this, he almost covered his face with his hands. He was both amused and exasperated. What was there to brag about? Even if you're close, what kind of advice does your son-in-law need?
He didn't even bother to say it out loud. In terms of closeness, the third son-in-law was still closer to him. No matter what, the third son-in-law would see him take a sip of wine and then rush to put food on his plate, afraid that he would go hungry.

This is truly a heartfelt affection for him. However, it's good that the mother thinks this way; treating her son-in-law like her own child ensures she won't be too biased towards her son.

This mother owes her daughter enough, so there's no need to be too shrewd. Just let things be as they are, and if she treats her son-in-law well, at least she can repay her daughter's filial piety.

Otherwise, if the mother becomes biased, she will go to great lengths to get her daughter to support her son more, and in the end, it is the daughter who will be in a difficult position.

"Yes, that's why everyone says you're lucky in the future, you've caught all the good sons-in-law. Have you heard that saying, 'A daughter-in-law is more filial than a son's'?"

There was no need for everyone to say how miserable her life had been before. Li felt that she was destined for good fortune and nodded repeatedly without the slightest hesitation.

As for what Zhou Shun said later, asking her if she knew that her son was not as filial as her daughter-in-law, she heard it but didn't have time to think about it. Why did the head of the household say such a thing?

"It's the same principle. A good son-in-law is worse than a good daughter. A good son-in-law is what truly matters. No matter how filial our Sanya is, once a daughter is married, she belongs to her husband's family."

"Whose daughter is like our Sanya's when she got married? Now she even has a child and she's still constantly giving money to her parents' family. It's only her son-in-law who spoils her. He's even spoken well of Sanya to her in-laws..."

Listen to this!

Your dad hasn't forgotten to give your mom a warning again!

"Your in-laws are undoubtedly wonderful, but we should also have a clear understanding of our own situation. We also have sons. Would you be happy if your daughter-in-law were constantly supporting her family?"

Upon hearing this, Li was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure whether to nod or shake her head in front of her son-in-law. Taking advantage of the moment she swallowed the food she was chewing, she thought for a moment and honestly shook her head.

"Yes, that's why I told you that our in-laws are closer than our own brothers and sisters. They are a kind and generous couple, and we can't be ungrateful and hurt their feelings."

"No, no, it's not that bad—"

Zhou Sishun raised a hand to stop his third son-in-law from interrupting, "Do what you should do. Xiaohe, you and your brother should remember the relationship between your parents. Your third brother-in-law's parents are no different from your own, understand?"

Xiaohe, who was listening nearby and didn't even have time to eat, reacted quickly, "I know, Dad, I will be filial to my second uncle and aunt. My brother told me long ago that I can forget anything but that my second uncle and aunt treat my third sister like their own daughter."

Those who have treated my third sister well will be my and my brother's benefactors. My brother and I will never forget how they treated my third sister, and we will definitely repay them for their kindness in caring for and protecting her.

This child!
Does that mean that whoever wrongs your third sister is your and your brother's enemy, and you and your brother will retaliate?

You truly are a worthy son of your father.

Your dad never forgets to remind your mom, and even at your age, you understand the subtle hints he's using to remind your third brother-in-law that I'm here.

“That’s right, we should know what’s good and bad.” As he spoke, Zhou Sishun pointed to his son and said, “Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about your third brother-in-law.”

Some sons-in-law will teach their younger brothers-in-law how to study, just like your third sister's husband did. But what son-in-law would secretly teach his younger brother-in-law how to be cunning, just like your third sister's husband did?

Your third brother-in-law not only treats your mother and me with the same respect and filial piety as his own parents, but he also treats you two brothers as his own younger brothers, as if he's afraid that you two brothers will become too clever and won't scheme against him.

"It's not that your father is praising his son-in-law; even if I were your father, I wouldn't have done what your third sister's husband has done. With the way your third sister dotes on you two brothers, what's the point of raising you two to be so shrewd? Wouldn't she just give you both her entire fortune?"
