Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 607 Being Remembered

Gu Erzhu didn't know that after he left, Grandpa Gu was still thinking about his son and would only give more head ornaments to the old lady as a gift to show his filial piety.

She is not an old lady from a wealthy family. Which old lady would not have enough head ornaments and jewelry to entertain guests and would ask her daughter-in-law to buy more for her mother-in-law?

He couldn't do it anyway. If he gave away the things, each of his sons and grandsons would get a share after the old man passed away. Since he had extra money, wouldn't it be better to leave it to his own grandson?
Just now, I heard people jokingly mentioning that Oda was showing off that her eldest grandson was the eldest great-grandson, not because anyone had a larger dowry or could give birth to a boy who could surpass her eldest grandson.

This is true, just like the eldest son and the second son, the status of the eldest great-grandson is not comparable to that of the second great-grandson, but what is the meaning of saying that it is not one who has the larger dowry!

Although Gu Erzhu did not comment, shook his head and smiled, and slightly mentioned that a tall tree has branches, and a grown-up son has branches, and a family has branches, and every family lacks an eldest son, grandson, and great-grandson, he was furious in his heart.

He endured it for an entire afternoon and a night. The next day, when there were no outsiders present and it was not a holiday, Gu Erzhu spoke immediately.

——From now on, you granddaughters-in-law will no longer need to buy new head ornaments and jewelry for your grandmother, lest you all only know what it means to be “grown-up” but not behave like human beings.

Gu Erzhu warned his two daughters-in-law directly, and did not feel at all that he was expressing his personal thoughts with a mean heart and judged others by one's own standards.

In his opinion, the reason why Oda showed off his great-grandson was not just because he was worried that his daughter-in-law would give birth to a fat boy and be humiliated.

This good sister-in-law of his had set her eyes on the head ornaments on her mother-in-law's hand, and she ambushed her even though she knew that the items were given by his wife and daughter-in-law as a gift to his mother.

Now he deliberately brought up the matter with his eldest great-grandson so early because he was afraid that it would be like what his elder sister said, that the valuable things given by someone as a filial gift would be returned to that person after a hundred years.

Is that so?

Zhou Banxia didn't want to figure it out, but she would be right to listen to her father-in-law, and it was also very likely that Oda was not the only one who was concerned about her.

Considering that the total assets of the eldest branch of the family, including the dowry of the daughter-in-law, are less than 500 taels of silver, the old lady's head ornaments and jewelry are not very attractive.

Especially since they are still in debt. I heard that grocery stores are not doing well even at the end of the year. How can they not think about it?

Not counting the head ornaments and jewelry she and Ma Shan gave to the old lady, the set of gold head ornaments that the mother-in-law prepared for the old lady when she moved not long ago was worth over a hundred taels of silver.

At that time, the mother-in-law should have actually considered whether it was necessary to give the old lady a set of gold headgear, but the occasion was not favorable and she had no choice but to provide for the old lady.

Otherwise, when the daughter-in-law goes out to entertain guests, she will wear a glittering golden hairpin on her hair, while the old lady sitting at the top will wear a silver hairpin, which will make no one look good.

What's more, the head ornaments and jewelry that the family has bought for the old lady for social occasions are enough for her to look presentable at present, and she will not be questioned for being unfilial.

Therefore, she nodded very quickly, so quickly that even though the atmosphere was still quite serious, not only did Ma Shan burst out laughing, but Liu was also very happy.

Gu Erzhu looked at the three of them, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, feeling both amused and helpless.

It's true, people of the same family are like one another. As a son, he is not as filial as the three of them, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, and they keep laughing!
After successfully "laughing" Gu Erzhu away, Liu began to become serious, "Do you understand what your father means? Your father just wants us to get more benefits."

"Don't you think the old lady is wronged by the food and clothes she has?" Ma Shan quickly took over the conversation, "Don't give her any head ornaments or bracelets, is that what you mean, mother?"

"Almost. Not letting the old lady suffer from cold and hunger, and keeping her healthy, is filial piety." After Liu finished speaking, her eyes fell on Zhou Banxia's face, "San Ya——"

"Mom, scold me now." Zhou Banxia was shocked. "You are still my sister-in-law? Every time I want to give something to them, I always consult you first. Mom, if you want to scold me, just scold me."

Liu, who was interrupted, laughed dumbly and shook her head, "Why scold you two? Isn't mother often soft-hearted? She still thinks that they are your father and mother after all.

Think about it again, good deeds will be rewarded, God sees it all. My mother was not lucky enough to have a good mother-in-law, but now she has two good daughters-in-law.

In my heart, I am probably thinking that I don't want you to think that I am not a good daughter-in-law, but I am also afraid that if I take it too seriously, what will outsiders say?

Oh, it's her family. Her mother-in-law is unfilial. No wonder her two daughters-in-law ignore their grandmother-in-law. It's not a good thing if there are too many rumors like this.

So many times, even when I think about how difficult life was under your great-grandmother’s care, I still persuade myself to let it go.

Even if I don't consider you, I should at least take a step back for your father. The old man is already in that state. If the old lady hurts your father again, how would your father feel?

Your father, your mother understands his thoughts too well. If your mother hadn't tried every possible way and finally came up with a way to make the two sons have less contact with their cousins,

Let your father know that his two sons are not of the same kind as them, he would never think of dividing the family. Even if he thought of it, he would just keep delaying it until his mother agreed.

Your grandma is much more important to your father than me, your wife. Before I was pregnant with Erlang, I told your father that even if I died, it would be worse than her groaning. "

"Mother?" Zhou Banxia looked at Liu worriedly.

Liu stretched out her right hand and waved, "It's okay, those days are long gone. Ever since your eldest brother was born, no matter how foolishly filial your father was, things have changed.

Wait until..." Liu paused, thinking of the miscarriage less than three months after giving birth to her second son, "Wait until Baoya is born, and your father has both a son and a daughter, then he will have better ideas.

But at that time, you couldn't divide the family just by wanting to. Anyone could bring it up, except your father. If he had the slightest intention of dividing the family, I would suffer.

Your aunt-in-law thinks that I was the one who instigated your father to divide the family property. She said those unpleasant things once your father was not at home. Otherwise, why would my son dislike them since he was young?

Old lady, she is your father's biological mother after all, the three of us should listen to your father. But you, her good niece, should listen to me."

"it is good."

Ma Shan's reaction was no slower than Zhou Banxia's. She nodded vigorously. What did she think Zhou Banxia was going to say next?

Unexpectedly, the little sister who was always good at making people happy would just say "OK" and then say nothing more, and even turned around to look at her!

"What are you looking at?" Ma Shan glared at her with amusement. "Are you not going to appease our mother? Didn't you tell me yesterday that our mother has the final say in our family?"

Thank you!

Zhou Banxia covered her face.

"What did you say then?" Ma Shan cleared her throat. "Are you jealous of my mother? That's just the beginning. Yesterday you ignored me, but today my mother is out of your reach."
