Chapter 613 These two kids!

Zhou Sishun was in a mixed mood and didn't know what to say. No wonder his daughter San Ya was joking a few days ago that your brother-in-law couldn't come back because he was busy thinking about how to be filial to you.

These two kids!

How could Zhou Changshun have such good fortune that not only was his daughter caring and considerate to him, but even his son-in-law was afraid that he was short of money, so he set up a number of shops in the street market for him, and also bought a shop in the city.

He has been relying on his third daughter for support throughout his life.

After a slight hesitation, Zhou Sishun turned around and looked around, then pulled his son-in-law to walk a few more steps to a more open area in front.

After making sure that no one could hear him, he asked quietly, "Did San Ya tell you how much money I have now? Tell me the truth."

Gu Wenxuan just shook his head, then nodded, "I don't know if it counts as my wife mentioning it to me, really, I would never lie to you, no matter who I am.

Just recently, I was drawing up a list of New Year gifts. I was thinking about what my husband and I should prepare to show our filial piety to you at the end of the year, and asked her if you would be short of money.

After all, our family has a lot of interactions, unlike my husband and I who earn more than we spend. I'm afraid you don't treat me as your own child.

Maybe he's worried that I, as a son-in-law, is afraid that my wife loves her parents' family. He's either afraid that San Ya will be embarrassed, or he's worried about what my parents will think.

To be honest, if you were a father who favored his son and exploited his daughter, I wouldn't care about you, but you are obviously not one, so how could I snatch your precious daughter away and not let her be filial to you?"

Zhou Sishun stared at his son-in-law who was telling the truth in a helpless manner.

Gu Wenxuan chuckled, "My wife said at the time that you would have no more than 300 taels of silver in your hand, including the rent of the shop at the intersection.

After all, the gifts for the manor and the moving house cost you a lot of money, but you refused to accept the banknotes I gave you. I know all this."

Well, that's because my San Ya hasn't told you the truth yet. Zhou Sishun originally wanted to tell his brother-in-law that half of the money was his so that he wouldn't worry about him being short of money.

There is no need to set up a shop for him and collect rent all the time. His life is already very good now. He has land, a shop and a family. Why does he need a shop in the city?

What kind of girl would keep moving things back to her parents' home after getting married? He was thinking that the family had so many fields and shops, which were enough for his son, so he saved every penny for his San Ya, so that his San Ya wouldn't suffer when she was short of money one day.

But, the son-in-law said that he knew that his daughter San Ya gave him banknotes, but he would not accept them. What should he say next so that it would not seem that San Ya still loves her mother's family!
Not to mention the distant past, at the end of last month, San Ya secretly slipped him two silver notes with a face value of one hundred taels, asking him, as her father, not to be reluctant to spend the money when he went to the city before the New Year.

It's dying.

"Liu Lang." Zhou Sishun's mind worked very quickly, and he didn't even bother to call him son-in-law. "In fact, I have more than three hundred taels on hand, I still have five hundred taels.

Here, you two are filial to each other, and you two are responsible for the food and clothing of the family on a daily basis, and you have not spent the rent you received.

I've saved up a lot, a lot. I'm afraid your father isn't as well off as I am. You and San Ya don't have to worry about me being short of money. What about these three shops?
You didn't tell me how much silver you spent, but the rent alone is seventy or eighty taels of silver a year, and it will take more than fifteen years to get your investment back. You can't hide it from me. It must be at least a thousand taels, no matter how cheap it is.

I know you are filial, but I can't accept this. If I accept it, San Ya will be gossiped about. As for me, your father-in-law, the only thing I can do is not to hinder my child..."

Zhou Shunneng insisted on refusing to take over the shop, which did not exceed Gu Wenxuan's prediction.

He already knew that even if he stuffed silver bills in, his father-in-law would only accept them once or twice out of ten times, and the shop under his father-in-law's name would definitely not agree to accept them. If it were his father-in-law in his previous life, he would not have offered a shop worth thousands of taels, even if half of it was Xiao Banxia's savings.

As the saying goes, small favors bring forth noble people, while great favors bring forth enemies.

Moderate subsidies will be rewarded with gratitude, but excessive gifts will be given to you by your father-in-law as soon as you stretch out your hand. Once it becomes a habit, if you can't satisfy him, even your own father may resent you.

Like the old man in his family, his father had given too much, and when he stopped working all of a sudden, he even lost the most basic dignity of being a human being.

Fortunately, his father-in-law is very sensible in everything. Not just now, but he has proved in the past that he loves money but is not greedy. However, these three shops still have to be given away.

If he doesn't send it away, his wife won't feel at ease.

Only if the father-in-law, to whom his wife is determined to be filial, has personal assets of three or four thousand taels of silver, and can earn two or three hundred taels of silver a year without doing anything, will she slowly let go.

He knows his wife too well.

She would repay any kindness shown by outsiders with gratitude, not to mention that this father was the most kind-hearted one in her two lives.

In addition, no matter whether he was occupying someone else's girl's body, or this was her past life and this life, she should repay the favor and be filial to her.

He is really good at stealing his wife's attention. His wife is his, how can he think about other people every day, not even his father-in-law? He is the most important one.

Of course, it is not easy to say these words out loud, and he cannot even reveal his true colors in front of his wife, otherwise it would seem that Gu Wenxuan is too greedy and domineering.

"…I'm not worried about your parents, but there are too many smart people in your Gu family. Your grandfather here is partial to the eldest son and grandson, and they are all targeting you and your wife.

As a father, all I can do is to prevent them from saying that my daughter San Ya has promoted so many of her relatives from her mother's family and ignored her husband's family, which would ruin my daughter's reputation.

Besides, I can't help my San Ya or anything. She has to bear a useless father like me. She has suffered enough. Son-in-law, don't worry about me. Treat San Ya well.

If you can stop having concubines in this life, and live a good life with my daughter San Ya, and don't let me regret marrying her to you, I will be satisfied."

This father is no worse than his own. He and his wife are so lucky to have two such fathers. Gu Wenxuan looked up at the sky.

Maybe God has opened his eyes in some mysterious way.

"Okay, let's go in--"

"Don't say useless or useful things in the future. I feel uncomfortable when I hear them. You are better than anyone else. It is a blessing for my husband and I to be your daughter and son-in-law."

This child can actually say nice things seriously. Zhou Sishun couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself, it's a pity that your father always says that among my two sons, only you are so dumb in talking!
"Having you is a blessing that I have cultivated for countless lifetimes. Well, if you think that I am a better father-in-law than anyone else, then take good care of my daughter, understand?"

You really talk about your business every three sentences, and you are always thinking about your brother-in-law taking good care of your daughter and living a life alone. Gu Wenxuan smiled and nodded, but he still couldn't help but mention the shop.

"Then I'll register the shop under the name of Dajiang Xiaohe. If anyone asks about it, I'll say that the shop was exchanged for the gift the two brothers received."
