Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 187 Gift
Since ancient times, no matter rich or poor, noble or humble, people have always respected the order of seniority.

Generally, in a family with several sons, the younger brothers have to wait until the eldest son gets married, and the order cannot be messed up.

Qu Shaoyang is the fourth child in the family. His second and third brothers are still unmarried, but he got married first.

In many families that place great emphasis on etiquette, this would be considered a violation of the rules.

Another thing is that marriage is based on the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers.

Qu Shaoyang had been away from home for three or four years. Without his parents' consent, he married and started a family. In the eyes of many people, this was a heinous crime.

No wonder Mr. Qu looked unhappy when he heard that his son was getting married.

Of course, Qu Hai’s last sentence is the key point.

In the eyes of the Qu brothers, although Sihuzi went to Guandong, he did not split up and live on his own.

Now that he has become successful and is earning money, he should belong to this family.

Logically, you should bring all the money back and hand it over to your parents, improve your family's life first, and find wives for your brothers.

It is wrong for him to quietly marry and start a family outside and ignore his family.

"According to what Big Brother said, it's still my fault?

Oh, so I work so hard outside, my head is tied to the belt, I risk my life to fight in the mountains and rivers, but the money I earn is not mine, and I have to marry my brothers before I can start a family and career?"

When Qu Shaoyang heard this, he was unhappy. He was not the original owner, but a person who came from the future. Why did he tell him this?
If it weren't for the original owner's ties to his hometown and parents, Qu Shaoyang might not have come back this time.

He had just arrived home and hadn't even had time to sit down when he was scolded by his so-called big brother. With Qu Shaoyang's temper, how could he endure it?
"I think it's unnecessary for me to come back this time. Since my family doesn't welcome me, I'll just leave."

Qu Shaoyang said this, stood up and was about to leave.

"Boss, what are you talking about? Si Huzi was able to marry a wife because of his ability.

It's the case in our family. Among you brothers, whoever can get married is considered capable.

"Si Huzi didn't ask his family to build a house for him, and didn't ask your parents to give him a dowry, but he married his wife on his own. So? Isn't that okay?"

When Chen saw that something was wrong, she immediately started to scold her eldest son and at the same time reached out to grab Qu Shaoyang who was about to stand up.

"Huzi, don't argue with your elder brother, he is just that kind of person.

Come, tell me where your wife is from? What's her last name? What does she look like?

Chen asked with a smile on her face, holding her son's hand.

With Chen's help in smoothing things over, Qu Shaoyang naturally couldn't just get up and leave, so he could only sit down again.

"Mom, my wife's surname is Chen, the same as yours. I heard that their hometown is also in Shandong, but it's a long way to go to Guandong Mountain.

My father-in-law is a doctor with superb medical skills and is very capable.

There are two sons and one daughter in the family. The two uncles are studying, practicing martial arts and doing business. The family is doing well.

My wife is a good person. She studied medicine with her parents. She is well-educated and well-mannered. She is also a good person. "

Qu Shaoyang briefly talked about the situation of his father-in-law's family and couldn't help but praise his young wife.

What Qu Shaoyang said was quite ordinary, but Qu Laokouer and Chen were old after all, so they knew from what they heard that the family of the fourth son's father-in-law seemed to be extraordinary.

Chen was even happier. Given their family's financial situation, and her son being able to marry into such a good family, what was there to be dissatisfied about?
"Why don't you bring your wife back with you this time so we can see her?
"After entering our Qu family, you have to meet your parents-in-law and show your filial piety to them, right?"

Qu Laokouer's expression softened a little, but his tone was still a little stiff.

"Dad, it's such a long way, it's too much trouble.

Besides, the world is not peaceful these days. I am leading my beautiful new wife back home. What if I encounter robbers on the way?
In a few years, when we have children, wouldn't it be better to come back with grandchildren in arms?"

Qu Shaoyang's trip was not just to his hometown to visit his parents and relatives, he had more important things to do. How could he possibly bring his wife with him?

Of course, I can’t say that to my parents, I can only say nice things. “Yes, yes, what Sihuzi said makes sense.

Old man, stop nitpicking here. Your son has grown up, started a family and has his own plans. "

Chen was afraid that her stubborn old man would start to act stubbornly again, so she quickly spoke to smooth things over.

"Fourth brother, look at your clothes, the carriage and the horse, you must have made a fortune.

Later, I will go to Guandong Mountain with you. When I make some money, I will marry a wife and start a family there."

At this time, Qu Fu came up to Qu Shaoyang and said with envy.

"You? You'd better stay at home. Our parents don't want you to go to Guandong Mountain and suffer.

It's so cold over there that you have to carry a stick with you when you go out to pee, or you'll freeze easily."

Qu Shaoyang looked at his youngest brother and teased him deliberately.

Qu Fu is the youngest child in the Qu family. He is sixteen years old this year, which is not young anymore.

Qu Hu was also this age when he went to Guandong.

But Qu Fu is different from Qu Hu. Qu Hu has been naughty and wild since he was young, getting into trouble outside all the time, which can be considered as a result of his experience.

Qu Fu was young, loved by his parents and protected by his older brothers, so how could he have ever suffered any hardship?

If he goes to Guandong Mountain like this, within half a month, he will be so tired that he will cry and want to go home.

Qu Shaoyang didn't want to get into trouble, so he asked his brothers to just stay at home and fish and farm.

When Qu Fu heard what his fourth brother said, his face immediately fell, and Chen, who was standing beside him, also followed suit to persuade him.

The eldest son and grandson are the old lady's lifeblood. She can't bear to let the fifth son go to Guandong Mountain to make a living.

"Look at me. I brought all these things back, but I haven't shown them to my parents yet."

When Qu Shaoyang saw this situation, he quickly changed the subject and took out the things he had brought and distributed them to his family members.

"Dad, Mom, these are what my father-in-law asked me to bring. These are what my master prepared for me."

Qu Shaoyang had a long journey back this time, so Doctor Chen and Liu Dongshan didn't prepare any snacks or drinks for him.

Instead, he brought some cloth, leather, mushrooms, fungus, pine seeds, supplements and other things, a lot of different things.

"Dad, this is the cigarette pouch Xiuyun embroidered for you, and this is the jade cigarette holder she picked out especially for you.

Mother, this is a set of clothes and a pair of shoes made for you by your daughter-in-law.

Xiuyun said that she was far away and couldn't be filial to her parents, so she did some needlework as a token of her gratitude.

Qu Shaoyang specially picked out a few things from the pile and presented them to his parents to make them happy.

When Mr. and Mrs. Qu saw these things, they knew that they would cost a lot of money, and they immediately burst into laughter.

"Look, this has caused my in-laws so much trouble to bring so many things.

Huzi, your wife's needlework is really good. Look at the stitches on this dress, they are so dense, really nice.

This color is perfect for mother, mother likes it, mother doesn't have many clothes that are good to wear, this is perfect for festivals."

Chen reached out and touched the dress and liked it very much.

"Mother, I didn't know my elder brother was getting married, so I didn't prepare any gifts in advance. Look, these pieces of cloth, can you give them to my elder sister-in-law and my nephew?"

Qu Shaoyang picked out a few pieces of cloth from the pile of things, including solid-colored cloth and floral cloth, which were just right for women and children.

"Okay, then why not? As your uncle, no matter what you give me, it's a token of your appreciation."
