Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 495 Two Fathers
Gu Erzhu was really worried that his eldest son might not be able to do what he said. The value of the dowry was beyond his imagination, and he was afraid that his eldest son would be tempted.

Especially after his daughter-in-law became pregnant, even though he was not at home for some days during this period, in recent days, it can be seen that the eldest son has gained more power.

It can be said that the young couple's current business affairs have basically bypassed their daughter-in-law and reported directly to their eldest son for decision and arrangement.

Who doesn’t want money?

To be honest, he also rarely does.

Just thinking about the fact that the farms and shops that San Ya has accumulated will belong to her grandchildren makes her happy, not to mention that there is now a workshop that lays golden eggs.

Even if the workshop stops producing eggs one day and has to be closed, the money saved from working for a year or two will be enough for the young couple and their children to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

But, looking at the situation, all these added together might not be even as much as half and half and half of the dowry. Would the eldest son want to take it for himself?
Even he, as a father, didn't dare to guarantee it, but San Ya was a child with strong will. She said that she would not swallow up the dowry if she took custody of it temporarily.

Not only has the child never embezzled the dowry list or shop rent, but even the valuables that her uncle asked Dali to bring back from the dowry house in the capital have been stuffed into the cellar of the manor intact.

These things can be hidden from anyone except them. It's not that they intend to inquire about their daughter-in-law's private affairs, but mainly because San Ya will come to them to discuss it.

For example, this time the heads of various villages sent local specialties produced in their villages, and the managers also brought local specialties. Before they were delivered, the child San Ya went to discuss with him and his wife what to do.

But his family's Liu Lang did not have one, so he asked the heads of each village to leave half for him when they came to Zhoujia Village, and the rest could be taken back for their own use.

He blushed when he heard that.

It's a pity that this bastard said he didn't want the dowry just like San Ya, but when he took advantage of it, he didn't even blink and wanted to accept it all.

I don't know who this brat looks like. Even though he is a piece of tough guy, he is not so shameless as to accept everything without discussing it with his wife first.

Gu Erzhu, who didn't know the real situation between his son and his wife, took the opportunity when he and his son were alone in the study room and no one could eavesdrop to tell them the truth.

What does it mean to coax your wife with a conscience? How can you make her feel at ease when it comes to money? How can you discuss everything without hurting the relationship between husband and wife?

He quietly passed on to his eldest son all the methods he had thought of and summarized in the past two nights without reservation, hoping that his son would not take the blessings he had for granted.

He was afraid that if he said too much about marrying such a good daughter-in-law, his old son would feel uncomfortable and have a grudge against him, so he did not dare to take the opportunity to criticize his old son.

I can only insert small stories along the way, imitating my relative Ma Dazhuang and describing how so-and-so was like in the past and how he is like now, and it is too late to regret.

Gu Wenxuan wanted to laugh so hard after hearing these words, and he laughed frequently during the process, so naturally he couldn't escape a big slap from his father.

Compared to the father and son in the big study in the front yard, the father and daughter in the study in the west wing are much more normal. The father here only cares about one thing.

Has his third daughter been eating and sleeping well in the city these days? Has she been wronged and kept all the news in her heart but not dared to say it out loud?

"...Apart from these, I didn't even spoil Gu Dalang's wife. She could be considered the eldest sister-in-law in name only. I didn't want to bother with her and just disappeared.

My mother-in-law said it was a good job. As for the Tian family, Brother Liulang did not hide it from me from the beginning. I knew what was going on earlier than my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Dad, you don't know what kind of person I am. How can such a person be considered a relative of mine? I had already privately informed Aunt Wang, and she also helped me pass on the message.

Taking this opportunity, the mistresses who are now the top figures in Qingyang County should know my attitude. "Zhou Banxia blinked, "I am deeply taught by my master and Madam Gao, how could I violate my conscience and disappoint my uncle's expectations for such a plaything that violates the law.

My uncle is a gentleman of integrity and modesty. How could he allow me to do anything wrong outside? My father also repeatedly warned me, a girl, not to meddle in other people's affairs.

That was roughly what she meant. The next day, Aunt Wang found an opportunity to convey my attitude to the wives of the county lord and his men.

Don't worry, Dad. I, your daughter, am no longer the Zhou Banxia who was held captive and sold as a bond. I didn't harm others before, but no one can harm me, let alone now.

It's not that I am arrogant, your daughter. The Tian family is nothing, and I just don't want to bother with them. Otherwise, he would have been imprisoned long ago, and they would have had the opportunity to bargain with others!"

Seeing his San Ya raising her chin in a smug manner, Zhou Sishun couldn't help but laugh, "Then why don't you let her be imprisoned?"

"As I said, the gain does not outweigh the loss. The brother-in-law did not report it to the police, so why should I go through the trouble? In the end, I feel like I owe him a favor.

Besides, it was none of my business, but because some people thought I owed them a favor, they made me act like I was doing something behind their back. How would outsiders view me?

I don't need to do that, and there's no need to do that. I don't want to be too tough or too soft. I just want people to know not to annoy me and that I'm still easy to talk to.

I don't want to take it seriously. I still want to be like you, Dad, and just live my own life. Outsiders have nothing to do with us. It's not easy to take care of our own family first."

Zhou Sishun thought about it and realized that this was the truth. "If you can think this way, Dad will feel at ease. Dad is afraid that you will think too much and wrong yourself out of kindness."

"will not."

Zhou Sishun was too lazy to give examples to refute his daughter's so-called inability. If he wanted to scold her, it was not the right time. At least he had to wait until she gave birth to the child smoothly. Then he would have time to scold her.

On the contrary, "The matter of the Tian family has actually been concluded. According to your father-in-law, the deceased old lady of the Tian family left something for Tian Ergou's father.

It seems to be a jade pendant or something. This time, in order to save his son, the old man even went to your father-in-law to mortgage something and borrow 1,000 taels of silver, but your father-in-law refused. "

Has she approached her father-in-law about this matter?

She knew that the Tian family had a jade pendant left by Old Lady Gu's grandmother. She had heard Gu Wenxuan mention it before, and that his father had said that the Tian family had some wealth in the early years.

It seems that Mrs. Gu’s grandmother was originally a maid in a wealthy family in the capital city. After the old man in charge died, she was released by the mistress of the household and then married into the Tian family.

There is no melodramatic story about a maidservant who became pregnant and had hidden a large sum of money, so she was forced to find Tian Jiazi, who was a farmhand at the time, to be the father.

It’s just that Old Lady Gu’s grandmother was relatively honest. She was not sold to a human trafficker by the mistress of the house, but was directly given a contract of sale and released.

When she was released, the maidservant should have been given some silver, and her grandmother should have been asked to take her old belongings out of the house, so that she could take her personal belongings with her.

It's just, "What kind of jade pendant is so valuable?"
