Farmer's Manor Fish and Rice Fragrance

Chapter 214 Induction (2)
"So?" Qian Xi's eyes lit up.

Dong Zan shook his head, "Sister, I don't want to borrow her strength. Although the master of Geluo has passed away, I don't want to be looked down upon by him. The more kind my wife is to us, the more I have to let her know that she supports us. We were right."

"Then what are you going to do?" Qianxi asked again.

"Sister, I have an idea. I want to learn martial arts, hunting, and business from my brother-in-law..."

"Then when do you think you will be able to learn?" Qianxi asked with a smile.

Dong Zan thought for a while, "I will work hard, one year, five years, I will definitely be able to."

"Then what do you think will happen after five years of your studies?"

"You will earn money, and your family will become rich."

"Then do you think we are rich now?"

"..." Dong Zan's face changed slightly, "This... is very good for me now."

"Compared to Gro Manor?"

Dong Zan looked a little surprised, "Sister, what do you want to say?"

Qianxi shook her head, raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder, "My silly brother, your brain is still a bit dull. Let me ask you, why would you waste a platform and bridge as good as Mrs. Grove's?" Lose?"

Dong Zan stared wide-eyed, full of surprise, "Sister's meaning..."

"I didn't ask you to accept her gift. No matter how much gold and silver treasures you have, you can't just sit and eat. I want you to use the relationship and bond of Gro Manor to improve yourself quickly." Qianxi tugged at his clothes, "Do you think that if you dress like this and go to do business with others, how many of them will take care of you? If you say that you are from Gro Manor, the effect will be completely different. Brother, the resources that should be used must be utilized. It is very hard work. When we strive to become rich, we are already old. You have to know, whether you will take advantage of opportunities is also your survival skill. Having a springboard can save 50 years of struggle. This is reality. I know You want to be proud. It would be fine if there was the owner of Geluo, but now there is only the wife. With so much business and land, the wife may not be able to do what she wants, so you should help her support it. This is a matter of mutual benefit. I think , Ruoning would also like you to do the same."

After hearing Qianxi's words, Dong Zan felt confused for a while, and couldn't turn the corner. He admitted that what sister said made sense, but because he had never thought about it before, he couldn't accept it for a while.

Qianxi saw that he was quite conflicted, so she changed the subject and asked: "Dong Zan, now you and Ruoning are right, so, have you thought about the future? Have you thought about... Lang Jie ?"

"Lang Jie?" Dong Zan was startled, and immediately knew what Qianxi meant, panicked, and said perfunctorily in a low voice, "My brother is still young."

"But in a few years, he will be a big boy. Isn't he able to get married when he is 15 years old?" Qianxi stared at him closely and asked, "Our family custom, Lang Jie, should live with you right?" Is it? Sister asks you, are you willing?"

Dong Zan was questioned straight, and he could no longer avoid it. He lowered his head, his face was stiff, and his eyes became blank, "Lang Jie is my real brother, and I only have such a brother. Since childhood, My dad taught us to treat my younger brother kindly and love each other as a family..."

Qianxi frowned, and asked anxiously: "So are you willing to give Ruo Ning to him?" Dong Zan clenched his palm tightly, the expression on his face was tense, and there was struggle and pain in his eyes. Only then said with difficulty: "In terms of emotions, I don't think any man is willing to share with others, even his own brothers. However, this is how it has been passed down from generation to generation. No one can disobey the custom."

Qianxi smiled faintly, "Then let me ask you, do you know why we have such a custom here?"

Dongzan gave her a surprised look, obviously he hadn't thought about this question. "why?"

"Poor." Qianxi uttered a word clearly.

"Poor?" Dongzan suddenly realized.

"Yes, because the land is barren and the crops are scarce, you haven't seen that the herdsmen in the mountains around us are living without enough to eat. Such economic conditions made our ancestors think of such a way, which is to unite the strength of the family. One family When brothers marry one wife, there is no need to buy more houses, daily necessities, etc. The ancestral property does not need to be divided, and our terrain is a canyon and a grassland, half herding and half farming, a family and a man can't handle it at all, so I think, Some people go to herd, some go to farm, some go to business, and give all the money they struggle to their wives, so that a family will become richer and richer.”

Dong Zan nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "That's what I said."

"But think about it this way. Over the years, have you seen us getting richer and richer?"

"This……"

"No matter how many women you marry, every family has a lot of children, and you have to eat with your mouth." Qianxi suddenly smiled and said jokingly: "Do you know how to get rich in the countryside? That is to have fewer children Many kinds of trees!"

"Have fewer children and grow more trees?" Dong Zan wanted to laugh.

"It's just an example, that is to say, you need to eat less and do more work to get rich. And you have to make a living with high returns." Qianxi sighed and glanced sideways at him, "You, But there's an excellent livelihood ahead."

Dongzan lowered his eyes, "Sister, I will think about it."

"Let me ask you again, is Ruoning willing to be your joint wife with Lang Jie?" Qianxi changed the topic again.

Dong Zan blushed, feeling dejected, "I haven't dared to mention this to her, but I believe she understands it too. However, based on what I know about her, she came from a wealthy family, and the owner and wife of the owner must have not educated her about this, so, I don't know her attitude yet."

"She loves you so much, she definitely won't want to." Qianxi anxiously answered for him. "So have you noticed the difference? Rich people, nobles, they don't need to be restricted by family rules at all, because they are rich! Rich and powerful! Look at which chieftain only married his sons to one wife. They are rich and powerful not only every A son can marry a wife, and he can even marry another concubine! Why is this? They are rich! They are not afraid of not being able to afford it! Unlike us, who forcibly distort everyone's feelings because they are afraid of getting poorer!"

What Qian Xi said was filled with righteous indignation, and what Dong Zan heard was heart-pounding. This kind of "rebellion", I believe that ordinary teenagers like them only dare to think about it in their hearts, and they don't even have the courage to say it.And now sister is trying to induce him so carelessly!
"Do you understand what sister told you?" Qianxi looked at him with wide eyes expectantly.

Dong Zan panicked, "Sister...I understand, but..."

"Oh, but what? What a great opportunity, Ruoning is the sole heir of the owner of Geluo, otherwise so much wealth would be brought to the underworld! When you and Ruoning become the head of such a big manor When you think about it, can Dad control you? What the patriarch said is useless! What are you afraid of, who would dare to look down on you? You are rich, and there is no time for them to envy you or flatter you!"
