How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 253 Her uncle's move was brilliant!

Zhang took a sip of tea to calm her anger. "My second aunt wants you to investigate the character of Wang Muze and the other men in the Wang family."

"Huh?!" Gou Sheng was surprised. "Second Aunt, are you trying to find fault with them?"

Zhang took another sip of tea. "You know your third sister's personality; she's stupid, clumsy, and stubborn. If she insists on marrying Wang Muze, we can't stop her. First, trying to stop her might turn her into an enemy. Second, if she does something foolish, all the girls in the family will be affected."

"This……"

Zhang looked at Gousheng and said, "Your second aunt knows you're close to your third sister and can't bear to see her suffer. But the more we try to stop this kind of thing, the more your third sister will insist. You're too young to understand."

"But we can't just do nothing, can we?"

“It definitely has to be done, but you can’t be the one to do it. First, your second aunt is afraid your third sister will blame you. Second, you’re already busy enough. Your second aunt doesn’t want to cause you any more trouble. Third, we need someone to play the good cop and someone to play the bad cop. I’m her mother, so I definitely have to play the bad cop.”

"This……"

"Don't do that. Your second aunt can't help with things outside. Your second aunt can only take care of things at home for you."

"Alright. I'll have someone investigate Wang Muze and the men in the Wang family right now."

"Yes. Second Aunt has found out everything about the women of the Wang family."

After making the arrangements, Gousheng came to find Qiuhua.

Qiu Hua was delighted to see Gou Sheng. "Gou Sheng, have you come up with a plan?"

"No. As soon as you left, my second aunt came. The first thing she asked me was whether you wanted to marry Wang Muze?"

Qiu Hua's face turned pale instantly. "My mother noticed?"

Gou Sheng nodded. "Your second aunt is naturally intelligent, and you are her daughter. No one knows a daughter better than her mother."

"What should we do? My mother will definitely disagree."

Gousheng glanced at Qiuhua sideways. "So you know your second aunt doesn't agree?"

“I…” Qiu Hua bit her lip. “I will marry no one but Young Master Wang.”

Gousheng wanted to shake Qiuhua's head to see if it was full of water. "I know. Second Aunt is with Grandma now. Second Aunt asked me to call you over."

Qiuhua was too scared to go. "Will Grandma hit me?"

"No. You're so old already."

Qiu Hua felt a little relieved. "Could you put in a good word for Young Master Wang?"

"What did you say? That he was deeply in love with his ex-wife?"

"No, no, no, don't say he can write poetry or be an official."

"No way, I told you, he's a living hell."

"Please, sister, I only like him."

Gou Sheng curled his lip. "At most, I won't say anything bad about him."

"Please, sister. One word from you is worth a thousand words from me."

"I won't say." Although her second aunt asked her to play the good cop, she still had to show her attitude.

"I'm begging you, I've never begged you before."

"Okay." You love-struck fool.

Meanwhile, Zhang told Granny Tian about Qiuhua's situation.

Granny Tian was also very troubled. "This wretched child."

Zhang also felt quite distressed. But what could she do about her own child? Fortunately, their family's life was better than before. Even if Qiuhua couldn't make ends meet, she could still come back for food. Of course, it would be best if she could come to her senses.

After Qiuhua arrived, she cautiously called out "Nai" (meaning "milk").

Granny Tian glared at Qiu Hua. "How could you fall for him? He may be a good man, but his heart is still with his ex-wife."

knock!
Qiu Hua knelt on the ground. "Grandma, please grant my wish, I only love him." "Hmph!"

Zhang gave a cold snort. "I won't stop you if you insist on marrying him. But I'm your mother, and I need to make you understand what kind of life it is to marry someone who doesn't love you."

“I discussed it with your grandma. Our family bought a small estate outside the city, right? I divided the land of that estate into six parts. You, your second sister, and Da Niu, Er Niu, San Niu, and Si Niu will each get one part.”

"You should plant your share by yourself. The other couples should plant theirs together."

Da Niu, Er Niu, San Niu, and Si Niu have all gotten married. Their marriage partners were chosen jointly by the Emperor, Consort Tao, and the Qian family.

Xi Huaizhou married Xia Hua under the guise of marrying into her family. Therefore, Madam Zhang included the young couple in the calculations.

Looking at Qiuhua, Zhang said, "I did this for three reasons: first, I don't want you to forget your roots; second, I want your eldest cousin and his family, your eldest cousin's wife and their family, and your second sister and her husband to get along well; and third, I want you to experience what it's like to have no one to help you."

"If you marry Wang Muze, you'll have to do everything yourself; Wang Muze won't help you."

Qiuhua didn't think it was a big deal for her to do it alone. "I'll take good care of the land."

"Hmph! Don't even think that just because you've farmed well, we'll force someone to marry you. We don't do that kind of thing. And if you dare do anything shameful, I'll break your legs. I mean what I say. I'd rather raise a cripple than let you ruin the family's reputation."

"I won't do anything shameful."

"Humph!"

"I swear."

"Hmph! Anyway, if you dare to do anything shameful, I'll break your legs."

"I understand. If I cultivate the land well, will you send someone to the Wang family to propose marriage?"

Snapped!
Zhang slapped Qiuhua hard across the face. She couldn't hold back any longer. "You wretched child! Don't you know that rushing into things isn't a good deal?"

Qiu Hua didn't dare to dodge. "I know. But Young Master Wang won't come to propose to me."

Zhang glared at Qiuhua. "You don't need to worry about that. You just go and farm. If you dare to mess around, I'll break your legs."

Qiu Hua shrank back. "I understand. Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless."

"Hmph! Go away, go away, I don't want to see you right now."

Qiu Hua quickly pulled Gou Sheng away. "Phew... do you think my mother can get the Wang family to propose marriage?"

"Yes, you can. But you have to cultivate the land first."

"I'm sure I can grow it well," Qiu Hua said confidently.

When everyone returned home that evening, Granny Tian told Zhang Shi about her and Zhang Shi's decision. "Our family is different now than before, but we can't forget our roots."

Grandpa Qian thought his wife was right. But, "I'll go with Qiuhua, I don't have anything else to do."

Granny Tian: "How come you're alright? You need to go and guard the door for Gousheng."

Zhang said, "She can do it; if she can't, I'll help her."

Qiu Hua: "I can do it. Grandpa, you go help Gou Sheng."

Grandpa Qian looked at Granny Tian and then at Madam Zhang. "Alright."

Kang Yueyue, Erniu's wife, Sanniu's wife, Siniu's wife, and Xi Huaizhou had never farmed before and were all a bit hesitant. But since the old lady had spoken, they couldn't refuse.

After finishing his meal, Gou Sheng went for a stroll in the garden. He'd only been there a short while when Shi Ba came over. "What's your third sister doing?"

Gou Sheng rubbed his forehead. "You figured it out?"

"Ah."

Gou Sheng recounted what had happened that day.

Eighteen raised an eyebrow. "Since Wang Muze can't forget his ex-wife, why don't we find him a woman who looks a lot like her?"

Gou Sheng: "..." Her uncle's move was brilliant!
*Facepalm* Thank you so much for correcting my mistake, sweetheart! You worked so hard! Wishing you all the best! Sending you love! (з(c)()
