Eldest daughter

Chapter 392 Analyzing the stakes
Min'er's family of three came back to visit their relatives, and they didn't just visit their nieces. The Tang family still had two rooms in the old house, so they rested for one night, and returned to the Tang family with Tang Xiuping the next day.

Today's Tang family is no longer as prestigious as No. 1 in Changle Town in the past. It is a huge house that has been divided into three families. Tang Xiuping's house has been sold long ago, and the big house and the second house are also built from it. A wall, only opened a corner door to communicate.

The eldest son of the Tang family was exiled, but fortunately he also had a son.As for the second room, the second wife of the Tang family said that she married her son a daughter of a merchant at the beginning of the year, but that woman was a pungent woman, her natal family had money, and she could manage the accounts herself. Promising, can only rely on that daughter-in-law's dowry to eat.

Wang Min'er didn't even eat lunch at Tang's house, so she came back with Zhilian in her arms. In other words, she was impatient with the hypocrisy of those two families.

"Aren't you afraid that people will say that you are not filial? After all, you have become a married couple, and you can be regarded as a decent nephew and daughter-in-law." Wang Yuan'er personally built a bowl of tea ceremony for her.

But Wang Min'er sneered: "They didn't think much of me before, but now they just look at me differently because I have raised my status and have someone to rely on. Do you think they are sincere?"

Wang Yuan'er was naturally noncommittal.

"I understand it. There are so many snobbish people in the world. If you don't have a good background and enough support, they won't take you seriously. Now there are people who are flattering and flattering. They are not sincere. Why should I look for that person?" Uncomfortable?" Wang Min'er said indifferently: "With the good reputation of filial piety, what I got in the end is probably the comfort and blessings of the few days before my death. Then why should I not be comfortable for the rest of my life? After I die, someone will naturally bury my bones. It won't be long before there will be a pile of bones."

Wang Yuan'er almost choked on the tea in his mouth, quickly took the handkerchief and pressed the corner of his mouth, looked at her and said: "It seems that you have really changed a lot, it looks too broken."

Wang Min'er laughed at herself and didn't answer.

"What you said just now is right or wrong. If you know everything, then it doesn't matter what you do. You can do whatever you like. But don't forget, you also have a biological daughter!"

Wang Min'er was slightly taken aback when she heard her words.

"Once you die, you will die. But having children is different. You don't think about yourself, you always think about their reputation. There is no reason for them to give you, a mother, a reputation of being unfilial, right? If you are like this, it is very important how the world will treat them in the future, and how to teach them by precepts and deeds." Wang Yuan'er continued: "So, you don't have to do anything, you don't need to be courteous, and you don't need to be picked on. The right is for Zhilian, and you will always I hope she can marry a good family in the future, right? Not..."

She didn't say the whole thing, but Wang Min'er knew what it meant, it was just saying, not like her.

Wang Min'er pursed her lips, thinking about what Wang Yuan'er said, it seemed that there was some truth to it.

She can disregard herself, but Zhilian is her only flesh and blood, she must always think about that child, the road she has walked, she can't let that child walk again.

But she was not convinced, according to Wang Min'er's temperament, she would not show weakness to Wang Yuan'er, but she didn't refute, but changed the topic.

"Knowing that my father is now the county magistrate, and that Ji County is a county rich in medicinal materials, I asked Tang Xiuping to follow my father's footsteps." Wang Min'er talked about another purpose of visiting relatives this time.

"Is he material for business?" Wang Yuaner asked with a frown.

Wang Min'er shook her head and said: "I used to study with his uncle's family, but now I can barely make ends meet. I thought, since we all live together, even if I don't do it for myself, I have to calculate it for Zhilian's dowry. Can you give me a hand? I can’t pass the imperial examination, and it’s good if I have money.”

Wang Yuan'er nodded: "Then learning to do is better than doing nothing, but..."

She glanced at Wang Min'er, and didn't know what to say or not. It stands to reason that when a woman gets married, she is the water that is thrown out. Naturally, she is devoted to her husband's family. But in her heart, her surname is Wang, and she naturally hopes that her second uncle will marry her. They will be better.

"You've always been like this, you're always hesitating when you speak, and you're not crisp at all." Seeing her faltering, Wang Min'er was a little displeased.

Wang Yuan'er glared at her angrily, and said: "Then I can tell you, the second uncle's position as the county magistrate was obtained after losing face, and it is only half a year now, so it is far from enough to gain a firm foothold." At this time, if you stretch your hand too far, it will be bad. You have to be aware of it. Although your husband’s family is heaven, but a woman can only be called straight if she has her mother’s backing. Well, second uncle, you will not lose your support , people from the Tang family will not do anything to you, otherwise..."

A person without a family to rely on is like a duckweed without roots.

Wang Min'er's face turned serious, and she said: "I will naturally have a sense of proportion. To put it bluntly, the Tang family earns the most, so why not give me all the lotus branches? If I make wedding dresses for other people's sons and implicate my natal family, then I am stupid!"

Human nature is selfish, no wonder she!

Wang Yuan'er sighed softly, and said: "Although it is not your own birth, but the so-called kindness of life is not as great as that of nurturing, if you use it lightly, the child may not sincerely treat you as a mother. In the future, when Zhilian marries, you will always return it." There is an old man."

Wang Miner nodded.

The two talked for a while, and Mrs. Zhang came to look for Wang Min'er, saying that her second aunt had come to meet her.

Wang Min'er said goodbye, and said before leaving: "There are old and young at home, and I have to go to my father's side. After leaving, I went back directly from Ji County. When will Qing'er come back? Write to her to come back too." , I haven't seen her for quite a while!"

Wang Yuan'er naturally complied, and after sending her out, he counted the days and secretly paid for it, Qing'er, a dead girl, could it be that she really couldn't think of leaving?
At that moment, he laid out a piece of paper and took a pen to send a letter to Qing'er urging her to come back without mentioning it.

……

Mrs. Zhang pulled Wang Min'er back to the house, and had a nice reunion with Zhang Cuiying who was looking for her. Naturally, her cousin Xu Yanyin also came.

After seeing off Zhang Cuiying's mother and daughter, Mrs. Zhang pulled Wang Min'er and asked, "What do you think of that girl Yanyin?"

Wang Min'er frowned, and looked at her mother: "What does mother mean?"

"Your second aunt wants to get closer to us, and wants to promise Yanyin to Fuquan. What do you think? Fuquan seems to like Yanyin quite a lot. But your second uncle and the others also want to promise Xiaolian over. " Zhang proudly said: "The market in Fuquan is very good now."

Wang Min'er laughed strangely: "Second Aunt used to be very high-minded, but now she likes our family? That's right, Dad has an official position, and everyone's eyesight is not enough."

In the past, whether it was the second aunt's family or the uncle's family, they didn't think much of their family, Xu Yanyin did the same. When I saw him later, it was as if I had met some enemy, and everything was better. This time See, it's a little more flattering.

It turned out that she wanted to marry into the Wang family, Wang Min'er's mouth curled up with a hint of interest.

"Look at you, it's your second aunt and uncle, what are you talking about? I just thought, it's not bad to get married, at least Yanyin called me aunt, married to be Fuquan's daughter-in-law, it can be regarded as one heart with me. "Ms. Zhang lowered her voice and said: "If it's someone else, it may not be with me, maybe it will be on your grandma's side, or Wang Yuan'er and the others."

"Mother, are you still thinking about this?" Wang Min'er frowned, and said, "This matter is entirely up to Mother. I have no opinion. If Fuquan himself likes Yanyin, he probably won't like anyone else."

Mrs. Zhang took a sip, isn't this asking her for nothing?
"Mother, don't care who you marry. The most important thing is not to marry someone who is a troublemaker. Otherwise, you will be able to eat a pot of noise every day. You don't have to worry about it." Wang Min'er thought for a while and said: "Actually In my opinion, if it's really for Fuquan's good, then it's better to marry him two or three years older, and the family will prosper if you can control him, and it's not like you don't know that Fuquan gets messy from time to time."

Mrs. Zhang was very displeased, and her face darkened: "Did you say that about your brother? How did you learn Wang Yuaner's tricks, always staring at people's mistakes, your brother is now sensible."

Wang Min'er didn't take it seriously, knowing that Zhang Shi was always nervous and doting on this younger brother, so she didn't argue with her, and said, "Mother, don't keep talking about Wang Yuan'er, her ability is really convincing, our room It is an indisputable fact that she is not as good as her."

Zhang was very angry: "You are building up the ambitions of others and destroying your own prestige."

She was very dissatisfied, Wang Yuan'er was luckier, met more nobles, and now someone from the Second Household became an official, she, Zhang Cuizhi, did not believe that the Second Household would be dominated by the Eldest Household for the rest of her life.

Wang Min'er saw her expression, sighed slightly in her heart, and said: "Mother, everyone will see the truth, of course I hope that our second wife will be well, but you have also seen, what good things have happened to the second wife in these years? Except that father is now the magistrate, and that is also thanks to Wang Yuaner."

Zhang choked.

"I'm not arguing with you. After all, our family's life is much better now than before. Mother, you have to know what is good or bad. Don't always argue with Wang Yuan'er. Don't look at her who is easy to talk, mud Bodhisattvas have three-pointed natures, and I really need to be in a hurry, what did she do, what can the second room do?" Wang Min'er continued: "I'm not trying to fool you, just think about it, offending the eldest room, the second room What's the benefit? Don't talk about fame and filial piety, the family is separated, who can make any fuss about it?"

Listening to her daughter's logical analysis of the stakes of offending Da Fang, Mrs. Zhang was in a daze, unable to turn her head around.

What's the advantage of offending Dafang? It's not at all, but there are many disadvantages. Wang Er can lose his official position with a single word.

"Mother, believe it or not, the beauty that the second room has now is all given by the first room. Don't be foolish and push this blessing out for nothing!"

Wang Min'er's faint words, like a gust of cold wind, entered Zhang's ears coldly, making her feel cold all over.
