Chapter 677: In-laws and Brothers

"Listen, this is terrible. Your in-laws have found out everything about my San Ya. No wonder they are frightened by her money-grubbing attitude."

Gu Erzhu laughed when he heard this.

No matter how Sanya is in your family, she is still Sanya in my family. I, as her father, don’t need to ask Sanya, because she will whisper to me and my husband about how much she can earn.

“Did you earn that much?”

More than I said.

I'm afraid you will be scared if I tell you this, brother. Earning a thousand taels of silver a month is nothing. San Ya gestured with her hands just for the income in the past half month.

In the last half month of the year, he made a net profit of ten thousand taels of silver.

This ten thousand taels of silver does not yet take into account the amount of silver that the oil press and tofu shop have earned in the past month or so, and how much paper is stored in the paper mill's warehouse.

How can I not be scared?

This money was earned from you. If it weren't for your brother, I wouldn't even dare to drink too much now. What would happen if the news leaked out? How could Liu Lang protect San Ya?

I'm sorry, brother. Gu Erzhu patted Zhou Sishun on the shoulder and said, "Of course there is."

"I support two or three hundred people, and the monthly salary alone is not small, and they also provide for their food, drink, and toilet. San Ya is generous and gives out rewards at any time. Have you taken these into account?"

"These are hard to calculate." In fact, it is very easy to calculate. The monthly allowance is decided by your daughter and son-in-law early on, and it is the same as the reward given out.

The remaining food, drink, defecation and urination have long been included in the labor expenses, but you can't tell me, brother. If you say too much, you will be exposed. Who knows what San Ya said to you.

Gu Erzhu shook his head, "There are a lot of expenses, and we have to stockpile spices, which are very expensive, even more expensive than storing ten granaries of fine grain.

But I know that San Ya did not touch her master's dowry. At most, it was some useless things sent by the village manager that would go bad if not used.

These were indeed used, but the workshop should have a lot of cash coming in by the end of the year. If it wasn't well-off, Liu Lang wouldn't have told me that he and his wife wanted to buy a farm.

Another thing, I also asked Liu Lang, if Dajiang's marriage is going to be completed, money might be needed in the first month of next year, or at the latest in February or March, so has it been prepared?

Liu Lang told me that he was prepared. Think about it, brother, I said it yesterday, so I said that letting San Ya spend ten thousand taels of silver would not be a big deal.

With this ten thousand taels of silver, plus what Lord Zhou will probably prepare, it shouldn't be too shabby, but can we build a house there?"

Zhou Sishun looked in the direction of his finger - school? It was the land at the end of the village. He had a headache. That was the homestead that the third uncle secretly bought for his family!

Adding the three shops and the land in the market, his daughter Sanya can't even stand up straight. Which daughter would support her parents so much after getting married!

"It's better to wait two years. Even if you're engaged, you have to wait two years before getting married." Otherwise, building the house will cost a lot of money just to buy materials and hire people.

"Even the betrothal gifts are not urgent. Before the betrothal gifts are given, we have to pay the betrothal gifts first. I still have some silver on hand. When the betrothal gifts are not enough, I will come to you for negotiation."

Gu Erzhu rolled his eyes at him in anger, "Stop being polite. Whatever you want to do, if you want to ruin my marriage, I'll cut you!"

They are relatives or brothers! Zhou Sishun smiled gratefully, "God has been kind to me. My brothers wanted to eat me, but he still gave me some good brothers."

"Hahaha... You don't regret marrying San Ya to Liu Lang, right? I'm not praising my old son, but my Liu Lang is not good at talking, but he is more honest than anyone else."

Are you talking about my third uncle?

More thoughtful than anyone else.

It's pretty good. Thursday is a happy day.

"My Liu Lang has never played tricks since he was a child. If he loves someone, he will love him for his whole life. That's why he told me that San Ya had helped him several times unintentionally in the city.

I knew my son had chosen San Ya. To be honest, you had no choice but to accept the marriage proposal. I had already made up my mind to beat up anyone who dared to compete with my Liu Lang for her."

You are worthy of being a tough guy.

Zhou Shun smiled and shook his head.

"Don't believe it?" Gu Erzhu raised his eyebrows, "In our Qinghe Village, who would dare to come to your house and ask for your daughter-in-law even though they know that it was my son Liu Lang who saved your daughter?

My son Liulang has never asked me, his father, for what he wants since he was a child. He finally told me that he had known Sanya for a long time. Don’t say that I had chosen Sanya for my son Liulang a long time ago.

Even if I don't know the background, I will first let my son Liu Lang get what he wants. As a father, what I can give my son is to let him have a wife of his choice and give him a few acres of land.

Although the family didn't have much financial resources, it was important to ensure that the two sons could live a stable life in the village. However, she never expected, and never dreamed that San Ya was so capable.

So I don't worry about the couple quarreling one day. If I have to worry, it's because Liu Lang can't protect San Ya. Fortunately, your two sons and three nephews have a good relationship with them. "

Can it still be calculated this way?
Zhou Sishun couldn't help but laugh.

Gu Erzhu knew at a glance that he had not yet thought about the fact that he had these two sons and three nephews. At least the four daughters-in-law of the Ma family would not dare to act rashly.

Like this time, when the third young master of the Zhou family came, not to mention the four daughters-in-law of the Ma family, even Hu Niu's mother became obedient.

But this matter is really hard to explain.

Are the four daughters-in-law of the Ma family planning to take advantage of San Ya by using Hu Niu, or is it inevitable that sooner or later someone in the Ma family will become jealous of San Ya and instigate Hu Niu?
Who would feel comfortable after hearing this?

I hope Brother Ma can live long and control himself. Not only Liulang in his family has a bad temper, but Erlang is not much better either. Otherwise, we will have no relatives to rely on.

His Erlang said yesterday that his mother-in-law no longer asks his wife every now and then whether San Ya is pregnant with a girl.

His Erlang is a very suspicious child. He thinks that his mother-in-law wants Sanya to be unable to give birth to a son so that she can adopt a grandson to his brother in the future and take advantage of his brother's property.

It's not just Liulang who has been arrogant since he was young. Erlang is also conceited and self-righteous, and he even feels humiliated by his mother-in-law.

These two sons have inherited their wife's noble character, especially this one. How come he is not noble when he spends his wife's money?

Still laughing!

Gu Wenxuan calculated the time and felt that his father and father-in-law had almost finished talking, so he quickly asked them to go home first.

His father and father-in-law didn't leave, so it was not convenient for him and Dajiang to go home first. They both said, "Why rush? Your father and the others are still there."

"Are you done with your work?" Zhou Sishun was too lazy to stop his son-in-law from bowing. It was useless to say, "How is your wrist? Remember to soak it in hot water when you get home."

Gu Wenxuan readily agreed and suggested that he wanted to go and see if Zhou Xiucai's wrist was not working properly, which made Zhou Sishun very happy, but he still told his son-in-law not to go.

It would be better for him and Dajiang to go to his uncle's place.

Firstly, his father and son happened to pass by the Zhou family ancestral hall on their way home; secondly, even though it was getting dark, there must be a lot of people around, and if the son-in-law went there, he would definitely be stopped and chatted with.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve and I still have a lot to do. I might as well go back early to rest and spend some time with San Ya and see what's in the letter that Da Jiang brought back.
