Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

The fifteenth day of the first month.

(lunar calendar)
Lu Yang left Shanghuai Village and returned to the city, preparing to celebrate the Lantern Festival with his family.

"Mom, Uncle Meng, mother-in-law, I'm going to Yanjing in a couple of days. Sister Mingyue hasn't seen what Yanjing University looks like yet, so she wants to go with me to take a look. We're going to leave Xin'er at home, but she's really pestering her grandma and grandma right now, so I'd like to trouble you two to help take care of her for a while longer."

At the dinner table, Lu Yang suddenly suggested going out.

Or go out as a couple.

And he would leave his daughter at home.

Of course, this was just a polite remark. What's the point of troubling you two? In fact, if it weren't for the fact that his mother-in-law might have to live alone in such a big villa for a few days and would definitely be very lonely, the couple discussed it and decided to keep their daughter.

I believe that with such a happy person around, and Lu Yang's mother Ye Qiuyu will definitely come to see her precious granddaughter from time to time, this villa will still be filled with joy and laughter even if these young people leave.

It won’t let the elderly feel lonely.

"Little girl, are you going to Yanjing too?"

At the dinner table, Lu Yang's mother-in-law Ma Xiulan took another look at her little daughter.

She only found out yesterday that her son-in-law would go to the provincial capital to take his secretary with him, and would also go to the capital, Yanjing, to discuss a big deal. So she found her son-in-law yesterday and asked him to take her eldest daughter with him.

After all, school is about to start.

Since it's on the way, why not go together?
Of course Lu Yang had no way to refuse, and he readily agreed in person.

But just one day later, the youngest daughter Mingyue also wanted to go with them. What does this mean?
Can't trust your sister?
Still can't trust her as a mother?
Ma Xiulan's eyes were filled with reproach. "Your man is doing serious work and discussing big business, not traveling. Why should he follow you? Besides, you haven't formally attended college. If you go to your sister's school, you can't even tell which way the school gate opens. What's there to see?"

When she said this, no one knew what she was thinking.

It was clearly her who used to educate her daughter, asking her to go out more often with her brother-in-law and not to stay at home.

Just like last time, when we went to Yangcheng and then to Pengcheng, it was she who instigated us.

But this time, for some reason, he changed his mind again.

Yin Mingyue said in confusion, "Mom, how can you say that? I didn't go to college before, but that doesn't mean I can't go to college in the future. Brother Lu Yang has already promised me that I can read more books and study on my own at home, and I can also audit Uncle Meng's school for my favorite major. If I'm interested, I can even take the adult college entrance examination. The ancient Athenian politician Solon said, "You can learn as long as you live." Mom, I think you should also read more books and enrich yourself, so that your old age will not be boring."

Since his stuttering problem has improved, his speech has become fluent.

In addition, every time Lu Yang went out, he would bring her a lot of books, especially famous works from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign. Now she can also quote from classics.

After hearing this, Ma Xiulan said unhappily, "What nonsense! You are a girl, and you are already married. Why are you still studying? If you have the time, you might as well work hard and have a second child with my son-in-law."

I suffered the loss of not having a son, and now I am facing divorce at my old age. Naturally, I don't want my daughter to go down the same path as me.

After hearing this, Yin Mingyue blushed a little and secretly glanced at her husband who was eating as usual.

He complained quietly, "Mom, I want to have a baby, but how can I do it alone?"

What you mean now is that you won't let me go with you, so I'll be alone at home in an empty room. Is it possible that my belly will grow big out of thin air?
Ma Xiulan was also speechless for a moment.

She said angrily, "Okay, okay, okay, whatever you say makes sense, then go ahead."

Originally, she wanted to create some opportunities for her eldest daughter. After all, there is no good man in this world. Even her husband, who was originally an honest carpenter, turned bad because he had some money. He had a mistress and a third party, and even let the mistress give birth to a bastard outside. He forced her, the legal wife, to divorce him in the end because she could not give birth to a son for her husband.

But how much money has my wife earned in these years?

Is there 1/10 of a son-in-law?
I’m afraid not?
Even so, even her husband can become bad when he has money. He can earn more money than her husband, is ten or a hundred times more promising, and is also younger. He is at least ten or a hundred times more attractive to women than her husband. Isn't it normal for such a capable son-in-law to be unable to resist the temptation and be bewitched by those fairies in the outside world and have other women outside besides his daughter?

If the wild woman outside gave birth to a son with a penis for her son-in-law, wouldn't her daughter's position as the main wife be in danger?

She would never allow such a thing to happen, and she would never allow her daughter to follow in her footsteps one day in the future.

So she thought about it for a long time, and even couldn't sleep at night, before she came up with this idea today.

Since my youngest daughter may not be able to hold on to this very promising son-in-law one day in the future.

Isn't there an older daughter?
The eldest daughter was a top student, a graduate from a top university, and also the childhood sweetheart of her son-in-law. The relationship between the two young people was very good at that time.

Now my youngest daughter has not had any pregnancy movement since she gave birth to her granddaughter.

You said that if she had given birth to a boy with a penis, she wouldn't be as worried as she is now.

But now her younger daughter's belly showed no sign of movement, so she could only place her hopes on her older daughter.

Anyway, the son-in-law and his eldest daughter already had an emotional foundation. If they had more contact with each other over time and rekindled their old love, wouldn't that be a very normal thing?
As for the two sisters, they were both taken advantage of by a pig at the same time.

In Ma Xiulan's opinion, it was nothing.

In the past, in the old society in rural areas, such things happened a lot. The most common thing was that if a sister had difficulty giving birth after getting married, or if she gave birth to a son but the child was still young and she died within a few years, if her parents had a daughter who was yet to be married, they would immediately marry another one off to take over the sister's place and take care of her brother-in-law and the sister's children.

As for why she knows so much?

It's actually simple.

She herself is an example.

The mother of Yin Mingzhu and Yin Mingyue's grandmother had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to their grandmother. She managed to survive, but she was left with a chronic illness and could not do heavy work. She spent most of the day lying in bed and had no way to do housework, let alone serve her parents-in-law, her husband, and take care of her infant daughter.

When Ma Xiulan was a child, she often heard her mother mention that her mother's aunt later married her grandfather. She had to serve her parents-in-law, serve her own husband, and take care of her sister who was bedridden, including the baby who was still in swaddling clothes.

It’s hard, but life still has to go on.

Two sisters married the same farmer at the same time, and the elder sister became ill due to childbirth. The younger sister had to serve her parents-in-law, serve her husband, and take care of her elder sister and her children. This was a problem that many sisters-in-law might have faced in the old society.

Ma Xiulan’s idea is also simple.

My son-in-law is promising. He has earned such a huge fortune in a short period of time. He will definitely earn more in the future. Even if the meat is rotten in the pot, he must not give it away to outsiders.

That's right, a woman born in the countryside, who has never been to school, has such simple and unsophisticated ideas. As for propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame.

Now it is not the old society, but the new society. She did not think about it so much, nor did she have the leisure time to think about it.

And if propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame were useful, why didn't the villagers spit on her when the husband openly kept a mistress outside, had a third party, gave birth to a bastard, and brought him home to force her, the legal wife, to abdicate? ? ?
Speaking of having a second child, Lu Yang's biological mother Ye Qiuyu also had something to say: "Son, daughter-in-law, don't blame me for being nosy. You should have more children while you are still young. Anyway, your mother-in-law and I can bring them here, and we have a lot of houses. You think this big villa should be able to accommodate 10 or 8 children, right?"

How can having another child be enough?
As a grandmother, she hopes to have many children and grandchildren in the future.

After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Yin Mingyue's face immediately turned red. She touched her belly and felt a little frightened. Giving birth to one baby had already made her suffer from excruciating pain. It took her a lot of courage to want to have another one. If she gave birth to ten or eight babies, wouldn't that mean she was being treated like a sow?

But what my mother-in-law said also makes sense. Our house is so big that no matter how many children we have, we can still accommodate them, right? And my husband is a good earner, so we can afford to support him anyway, right?
But eight or ten are too many, right?
How about five? No, three?

Just when Yin Mingyue was still struggling over whether to have five or three cubs.

Lu Yang had already agreed with his mother's words with a smile: "Mom, you are right. We will definitely work hard and try to give you another big fat grandson without waiting until next year."

Ye Qiuyu also said cheerfully: "Then you two better hurry up."

It is the first month of the lunar calendar now. If you want to have a son before the Lunar New Year next year, you must get pregnant within two months.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

If it is more than two months, unless it is a premature baby, the birth will definitely have to be scheduled until next year.

After all, it takes ten months to be pregnant, right?

All the old people at the table burst into laughter at the same time. Only Lu Xiner, who had just celebrated her second birthday, had a puzzled mind and didn't understand what the adults were laughing at.

"I'm stuffed."

Yin Mingzhu put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up and went upstairs silently.

She was the only one who felt out of place here, and she hadn't said a word just now.

Yin Mingyue secretly pulled her husband's hand under the table and pursed her lips.

Lu Yang shook his head slightly.

That woman was in a bad mood, and she deserved it. If she was unhappy, she should just not go with me. She could have taken the train to the capital by herself. Why did she have to go between me and Sister Mingyue?
Besides, before that, I have to go to the provincial capital to solve some minor problems and meet up with my secretary.

Two days later.

In Xingcheng, Xu Siqi and Yin Mingzhu, a pair of good friends, hugged each other excitedly.

"Sister, isn't school about to start? How come you still have time to come to the provincial capital to play?"

"By the way."

"what?"

"Your boss is also going to Beijing. That guy said so himself. You are his secretary. Don't you know that?"

"Ah? I don't know. Why is the boss going to the capital?"

Xu Shiqi let go of her good sister.

Then he turned to look at Lu Yang who was standing with Sister Mingyue: "Boss, why are you going to the capital?"

Lu Yang glared at her. "This is not something you should ask. Have you completed all the tasks I asked you to do?"

Xu Siqi stuck out her tongue and then secretly glanced at the proprietress.

Seeing that Yin Mingyue's expression was normal, he didn't look at her as if he was wary of a mistress.

So he puffed out his chest and pouted, "My third uncle is easy to deal with. Anyway, the land has been requisitioned and the money for the purchase has been transferred to his district. If he urges me again, I will pass the blame to you. As for my mother, she pesters me every day and asks me when I will fulfill my promise. I say we should ignore her and leave now. As long as I'm not at home, she can't find me. My mother is a workaholic. At most, she will only scold my father. Anyway, she definitely doesn't have time to catch me."

After saying that, she glanced secretly at the proprietress again.

There is nothing we can do.

Whether it is the land project in Tianfu District or the advertising project of the provincial TV station, her third uncle and her mother are indispensable.

These are all her family.

Lu Yang didn't think too much about it and glared at her again: "Are you the boss or am I the boss? Call your mother now and make an appointment to meet at the provincial TV station later. We are short of time. We will only stay here for one day tonight and leave for Beijing tomorrow. You can talk to your mother first. If we can't negotiate the advertising contract for the provincial TV station today, we can only wait until I come back from Beijing to discuss it."

Xu Siqi immediately opened her mouth in surprise: "Ah, are you really going to place an advertisement?"

Lu Yang rolled his eyes and scolded: "Do you think I'm joking?"

Samples of Xiaotiancai learning machines are now available, and we have basically tried them out from the beginning of the year to now.

Anyway, he was very satisfied and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

In this case, we will definitely start working overtime and arrange for the factory to operate at full capacity.

and then?
Just spread the word.

If any product is produced and wants to expand its sales and sell well, advertising is absolutely necessary!
And the strongest advertising. In this era, apart from newspapers, who else can compare with TV stations?
To be honest with you, Lu Yang went to Beijing this time to solicit investment for advertising space on CCTV.

Before this, as the leading local TV station, the ratings of Hunan TV Station were not low in some surrounding areas, especially for its own enterprises. As a local enterprise, it was natural for them to place TV advertisements in the province to expand sales.

Xu Siqi happily took out the phone from her bag and called her mother: "Mom, are you in the office? Then wait, my boss and I will be here soon. I guarantee you will be satisfied this time. Hehe, I'm hanging up now. We'll be here soon."

Put down the phone.

"Okay, done, boss, let's go now."
