Chapter 391: The So-Called Faithfulness
How could the two elders of the Zhou family be willing? Isn’t this to make the benefactor die with his eyes open? Do they still want to be a human being when they are spreading?
I just wanted to ask my son to discuss with the He family. Anyway, there was no formal agreement with the He family. Miss He's parents are still alive and are not helpless. Let the He family give in and find a way to repay the kindness of the He family in the future.
Although Mr. Zhou, who was still young at that time, could not bear to let Miss He go, he could not bear to make things difficult for his parents, so he had no choice but to rush to He's family to apologize.
But this Miss He family is also a decisive and weak daughter's family. The words she said are very similar to those of Miss Yang. Anyway, she only believes that Master Zhou is the only one in her life and will not marry anyone else. Of course, she also understands Master Zhou's situation and cannot bear to make things difficult for her superiors. She would rather stay at her parents' back and never marry for the rest of her life.
How did Mr. Zhou decide? In the end, Ms. He's father, Mr. He, thought of a compromise. His He family only had Miss He, a pearl in his hand. He originally wanted to get married, but nowadays, as long as he had a bit of food, how could a man with a little backbone marry into a marriage? Later, he thought about choosing a good family for his daughter, and then he would just give birth to a son and let one of them be named He and inherit the He family's incense.
Now that Mr. Zhou’s family is like this, even if they are big, Mr. Zhou married Miss He and went home to marry Miss Yang again. No matter how big or small it is, they lived there for two or three years.
But Miss Yang is filial, so she let Mr. Zhou live in the He family for the first three years, which is equivalent to marrying her. She will marry Ms. Yang in the next three years.
Mr. Zhou thought about it and had to do this. After going home to discuss with his parents, the two old men also thought that this method was good and they lived up to their side. Although they still felt wronged the two ladies, there was no way to win. Of course, if Miss Yang still disagreed, the Zhou family had no choice. Either they retired from the Yang family and accepted Miss Yang as their adopted daughter according to the previous method and gave it a good marriage. Otherwise... Mr. Zhou would not not marry her for the rest of her life, or watch Miss He live alone.
Miss Yang nodded at the end.
The two sides agreed on the details. There was no need to meet on both sides, and Miss He didn't have to last Zhou's family tree. In the future, the children will inherit the He family's estate from her surname He, and have nothing to do with the Zhou family.
Of course, Mr. Zhou paid a huge price for this. First of all, the son-in-law cannot be an official. This is the rule of the Great Zhou. Although Mr. Zhou did not officially marry into the He family, it was a bit embarrassing to say it out, and it was a bit embarrassing to lose the talk. Even though he had already achieved fame and fortune, he still wanted to stop his career.
The dispute was not settled.
Mr. Zhou has been in the He family for three years, and Miss He is very determined. After three years of embracing her two sons, she gave birth to two sons in a row. Mr. He smiled and admired his smart decision.
Three years later, Mr. Zhou went home and married Ms. Yang, who had been filial, and the two Zhou family members were eager to hold their grandchildren day and night, hoping that Ms. Yang's belly could compete with Ms. He. But Ms. Yang was reluctant to be pregnant for a long time.
But the He family came to letters every now and then, saying that the eldest son didn't like studying, but he liked to use abacus. However, the second son, one year younger than his brother, liked to study. He could recite several poems and always asked his father where he went.
The two elders of the Zhou family were itchy. Although they didn't complain about Miss Yang, their faces were not so good in general. They sighed behind their backs and waited for two years, but Miss Yang still didn't get pregnant.
The two elders of the Zhou family hinted that Miss Yang arranged for her son to have sex.
Although Ms. Yang was unwilling to do so, she knew that this was unreasonable. This was also a local custom. It was enough to have seven items without giving birth in three years. Arrangements for giving birth to a family are considered my own, so she still gritted her teeth and arranged it. This time Mr. Zhou was unwilling. She hadn't seen Miss He for two years and had never seen her youngest son. It would be fine if Miss Yang was his wife. If she had slept in a family again, he really didn't want to do so. She felt sorry for Ms. He who worked hard to pull out her son by herself.
However, Miss He didn't know if she had learned the news or something else, but her family moved to the next county and invited the two Zhou family members to visit.
The two elders of the Zhou family were naturally overjoyed and immediately prepared generous gifts to visit their grandson...
Everything afterwards was not fair to Miss Yang. Old Master He suggested that his son-in-law could come and stay there from time to time... After having children during this period, the only thing that belongs to the Zhou family is the same. If he really gave birth to a child during this period, the child could not be recorded in Miss Yang's name. Miss He had to be included in the genealogy and ranked in front of Miss Yang.
At first, the two elders of the Zhou family did not agree. Since Miss Yang married into the Zhou family, she has done housework and was filial to her parents-in-law, she must not be biased as an elder.
Old Master He didn't force himself at that time and said with a smile that he just saw the two elders of the Zhou family like their grandson so much, so he just mentioned it casually, not force it.
Just one year passed, and three years later, and according to the rules, Mr. Zhou had to live in the He family again.
Fortunately, the two families are close now, so the two elders of the Zhou family can visit their son and grandson.
Miss He was indeed very proud of her belly. In just a few months, she became pregnant. The two elders of the Zhou family looked at their happy relatives and envied her and carefully proposed, could the third child be named Zhou?
Old Master He once again mentioned the old saying, "There is no problem with the surname Zhou, but the child's mother needs to be made clear. Why should his baby grandson call other children the mother?"
The two elders of the Zhou family could resist the pressure at first and disagree, but when Mr. He said that after his daughter gave birth, he might have to move his family to another place to do business, the two elders of the Zhou family hesitated, and at the same time they also saw Mr. He’s plan clearly.
Miss He is weak-hearted and her only courage is probably the time when she insists on marrying Mr. Zhou, and the rest are decided by her father.
Old Master He had two plans at the beginning, and it was not a marriage partner after all, and his daughter was still a little embarrassed. After death, the family’s ancestral tomb was not good, but to enter the Zhou family’s ancestral tomb, he had to be after Miss Yang, and he was not happy.
I just wanted to get married first, and my daughter was very happy and gave birth to a strong grandson and then slowly planned the position of her original wife. But if I want her daughter to be unsatisfied, then I can't force her to have no luck.
At the same time, he was slowly examining the character of the two elders of the Zhou family. He asked the two elders of the Zhou family to agree from the beginning, but he looked down on the two elders of the Zhou family and thought that they were also a person who was forgetful of their interests. However, the two elders of the Zhou family could withstand the pressure and kept thinking about Miss Yang, which made him admire him, and he felt that the Zhou family had backbone and had a good family style.
In the future, I stretched my legs and they wouldn't have anyone to bully my daughter's weak temperament.
Unexpectedly, things were better than he had originally thought. Miss Yang was not pregnant for a long time. What is there to say? According to the rules, this can be retired. The Zhou family is kind and righteous, and the He family is not going to bully others. They just don’t want their daughter to be wronged.
The hesitation of the two elders of the Zhou family finally disappeared when Miss He gave birth to a fat and fat son again.
They had a showdown with Miss Yang, which was called Discussion, but how could Miss Yang object at this time? She couldn't see the Zhou family's lack of queen, and could only agree with grievance.
The He family did not press forward step by step, so they let Miss He live in the Zhou family and get Ms. Yang's eyes. Instead, they stop when they see it. Apart from recording the Zhou family genealogy, the rest remain the same. Perhaps Mr. He is really a smart person. He has already fought for what he should fight. If he is unreasonable, it will only backfire and make the Zhou family disgusted. His heart is even more directed towards Miss Yang.
In the end, Miss He had three sons in total. The eldest son stayed by her and inherited the He family's business. The second son and the younger son were sent back to the Zhou family. Because these two children liked to study, they would have a better life when they sent back to the Zhou family. And Miss Yang finally got pregnant, but she gave birth to a daughter, Miss Thursday.
After so many years of popularizing the relationship between in-laws, Meng really doesn’t know what to say.
No wonder Mrs. Meng is so indifferent. She is just such a sister-in-law. Of course, her daughter doesn’t care, let alone any requests they make afterwards. I’m afraid she can turn around and control the sister-in-law by controlling the Quan family and then make some requests.
Perhaps in order to save face, Meng Ye coughed twice and said, "Even if the Zhou family is forgot, they don't think they know the relationship between our family and the Quan family, but this Grandpa Quan San is really unreasonable. I think I want to warn them so that they will not have any more troubles."
"You don't need to use your favors outside this little thing." Mrs. Meng chuckled, "I have already told Ping's mother that these things will reach the Zhou family's ears later, and they will naturally know how to do it."
"What does it take for Ping's mother to pass the message?" Meng Ye didn't react at first.
Mrs. Meng said: "Of course I told them that the Meng family and the Quan family, especially the things that the third elder of the Quan family did, would say before they officially get married, so as not to get married, and they would still be a little restrained."
"Then why didn't you say it at the beginning?" Meng also didn't quite understand.
Mrs. Meng gave him a blank look: "What do you think? At the beginning, Miss Zhou's family fell in love with Quan Yaobei's appearance. They didn't know who had the first calculating intention, or they had a good relationship. In short, after the Zhou family first asked about Quan Yaobei's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family background, they first proposed to ask Quan Yaobei to be my Meng family's son-in-law, but now they kicked the Meng family and married the Zhou family. What would the Zhou family think? Wouldn't you think we were blaming them for stealing our future son-in-law?"
"Then let's just say it, wait until they get married." Meng still couldn't figure it out.
Mrs. Meng simply said, "Tell me directly. I told the Zhou family through the mouths of mother Ping and those servants. The true face of the Quan family is, but the servants say that our master will not appear. When they married the Quan family, they did not ask us. Since their family pays so much attention to reputation, they will marry the girl to Quan Yaobei no matter what. It is useless for us to tell them. I now tell them through the mouths of the servants that they just don't want them to live too well, so that they will think a lot, especially the Yang family. Yan'er, our family has to meet relatives with the Zhou family to worship ancestors. If they can't see others, they secretly suffer the consequences. Yan'er, who makes her headache, naturally, has no extra thoughts to plot against our daughter."
"It makes sense." After thinking about it carefully, Meng couldn't help but be a little surprised by Mrs. Meng's gloomy thoughts. Is this the way a woman is in the back house? She has made up all kinds of plans. The Zhou family can definitely make trouble, and she still has no way to touch her body.
"Women are really scary, right?" Mrs. Meng glanced at Meng Ye.
Meng was also said that he was thinking in the center and dared not speak out.
Mrs. Meng sighed inwardly: "Sometimes women are forced to do so, because they are forced by bad situations."
Meng was also a little dissatisfied: "I can't say anything about others. It's just that Yang and He from the Zhou family asked for their own actions. Mr. Zhou did not do anything wrong. As a man, he has done his best to these two women, but these two women still have to make trouble and have a good life, but he is really full."
"If it were you, can you be calm?" Mrs. Meng felt quite sympathetic, "If you don't give in, He is lucky and will have the upper hand if you compete with each other. Of course, it is because Mr. He can do it and calculate everything. She will not be too miserable. Only Yang, without an elder, plans for her, and her luck is a little bad. Of course, this is the case. However, in a family like the Zhou family, she has not been too bad except for being unfair."
Meng Ye really didn't understand women. It wasn't enough to eat and drink. But he was just trying to do anything, so he stopped engaging in this woman's affairs and changed the topic: "Forget it, the old guy in the Zhou family is really unreasonable, and he must teach a lesson."
This time, Mrs. Meng also agreed and only reminded: "You are a civil servant now, be careful when doing things, teach a lesson, pay attention to your methods, and don't leave someone with a message that will implicate your reputation."
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid either. I must have told that old guy that he has trouble." Meng also clenched his fists and made up his mind.
...
Another month passed.
Su Yiqing's body was getting heavier and heavier. For some reason, her mood was getting worse and worse. When she got up early in the morning to have a meal, she actually got angry because a little maid accidentally splashed a little when the soup was broken.
Of course she was not an irritable person. Even if she got angry, she only scolded her for a few words. But when she looked at the twelve or thirteen-year-old maid, she felt relieved when she knelt on the ground and shivered.
But after calming down, I couldn't help but feel terrible. Is it just a moment of impulse? Is her temperament also changing? In this depressing environment, people also begin to become violent?
After thinking about it, she instructed Madam Qing to ask Mrs. Quan to travel to the mansion.
She needs to talk to people, whether it is psychological counseling or confiding, she wants to talk to people. It is best for this person to be on an equal footing with her, but this is difficult, so let's settle for the second best. Please come here.
Mrs. Quan Si was summoned by the princess, so she didn't dare to neglect it. She cleaned up briefly and came soon.
Su Yiqing ordered people to set up a refreshment in the garden, and a small pavilion filled with various spring flowers were blooming around to entertain Mrs. Quan. (To be continued ~^~)
