Chapter 079
Mrs. Qiu then told Mrs. Zhou about his life experience.
It turned out that the Qiu family's ancestors were doing business and had a lot of assets, but they suffered losses due to their brother's improper management, so they had to go back to the countryside. That year, the flood flooded the entire village, and very few survived, and she was one of them.
A woman, whose family is in trouble, is unwilling tolerate her relatives. She fled from the south to the north, and she can imagine how much suffering she suffered and how much sin she suffered. If it weren't for Guo's father's rescue, she might have died long ago.
It was because of repaying kindness that Qiu married into the Qiu family.
Zhou listened to all this without feeling, but his heart was somewhat turbulent.
When she chose to marry Ji Qing, she was attracted by Ji Qing's sincerity and purity and treated her well. In short, she and Qiu both married her. Both of them had long died and had three children.
As for Qiu's remarriage, he might have been forced to do so due to reality, or perhaps he was despising the poor and loving the rich.
In short, it is all her choice and others have no right to interfere.
Now that Qiu can bring his children to his side, I think he has gained a foothold in the Jiang family.
The story ended when Guo’s father died.
Mrs. Qiu didn't talk about what happened next, and there was no need for her to have a simple conversation with someone she had met for the first time.
"Sister, it's rare that we are so close. I will come and disturb you in the future. Then, don't dislike me."
Zhou said politely: "How can it be? As the saying goes, distant relatives are worse than close neighbors. My family has just moved here today and everything around is not familiar with. I am afraid that in the future, I will have to trouble my sister."
"It's all from neighbors. No matter what troubles are, it's just a matter of being misplaced." Qiu smiled and sighed, "The Jiang family is a big family, and Sister Yan and the others have grown up in the countryside since childhood. When they come to this Jiang house, they are not used to it. Especially Sister Yan, who is usually quiet and keeps everything in her heart and does not tell me. I am a mother, but I am helpless."
Zhou thought of the quiet girl who had been sitting in the hall before, and felt moved, and said with a smile: "A girl's age, she likes to talk to her sisters if she has any worries. I see that your sister Yan is about the same age as my Awan, so she should be able to play together. Why not let her come and have more friends on weekdays and be more cheerful."
"That's right." Qiu was overjoyed, "Your big girl is smart and generous. If Sister Yan can learn a little, I will feel at ease as a mother."
Zhou smiled and said, "I see your girl gentle and quiet, and has a very good temperament. I hope Awan can learn a little bit."
"Sister, you are modest."
Qiu was naturally happy when his daughter was praised.
"By the way, sister, I see that your eldest girl is not young anymore, but have you started talking about kissing?"
Zhou understood a little about why Qiu was so enthusiastic today.
"Not yet."
She smiled implicitly, "Awan is still young, I want to keep her for two more years."
Qiu naturally heard her polite and alienated, and didn't care. There was no flaw in the smile on her face.
"Yes, your eldest girl is beautiful and smart, and she is also a scholar's daughter. Even a juren is worthy. After two years, I am afraid that the person who proposes marriage will break the threshold. Then you can choose slowly, so don't worry."
Juren…
Zhou sighed in his heart, if there was really something right, it would be better to make a decision for his daughter early.
Her eyes fell on Qiu unconsciously.
Regardless of the character of Qiu, at least she has a certain popularity in Dengxian County. She has a daughter in her family and is almost the age to discuss marriage, so she can learn from her by then.
Having a plan in her mind, she became more sincere when she talked with Qiu.
The housewarming is no better than other wedding banquets. The male guests gathered together to drink and play, and the female guests talked in the flower hall, and the younger generations gathered together, playing their own things, and not disturbing each other.
When the sun sets westward, a dinner party begins.
Ji Wan had arranged the twenty-two new servants, four old maids in the kitchen, and six of them were sweeping and trimming flowers and plants in the garden. The front yard prompted the maids and servants to have ten people, plus Zeng Fu and Zeng Lu, a total of twelve people.
There are two maids left, and Zhou took the initiative to directly share them with their two daughters as personal maids.
Actually, these are not enough.
Each independent yard also needs to be used as a scoundrel.
Ji Wan then discussed with her mother and went to the market to buy a few more days later.
Zhou naturally agreed.
A day passed and night was coming.
Seeing the grandeur and wealth of the house, Liu refused to leave and insisted on living a comfortable life as a slave here with his two children, and even had a big and small fuss.
"What's wrong with me staying here for a few days when you move into your new home?"
Liu looked up at the exquisite garden outside and many decorations inside the house that he had never seen before, with greed in his eyes.
"Don't forget, I am your mother-in-law!"
She began to use her elder identity to show off her orders, and her nostrils were approaching her.
"You two go and clean up my bed."
Zhou frowned slightly. How could she not see Liu's thoughts? She just wanted to live on for the rest of her life, and then, just like before, she naturally treated their whole family as maids.
But the request she made was indeed reasonable. After all, she was her mother-in-law and an elder. She moved her new family and could not drive them out.
"Grandma, are you really going to live here?"
Ji Wan had known that Liu would definitely find fault with him, so she naturally had made some arrangements.
"certainly!"
Liu was sure that the two of them dared not refuse and became more arrogant.
Ji Wan smiled, "I'm afraid this won't work."
Liu was about to attack immediately after hearing this. Ji Wan interrupted her first and said slowly: "Our home is spacious and there are many rooms. Because considering that guests occasionally visit, the guest rooms were cleaned up early. But today, the prince of Anguo and the prince of the prefect Qi Mansion sent maids and servants. There were so many people, so they could not sleep on the ground. So all the bedding and pillows in the guest room were moved to the southern room."
Liu was furious, "It's just a group of lowly slaves, it's worth..."
"Grandma, be careful."
Ji Wan's face was solemn, "They are not ordinary slaves, they were given by noble people. As the saying goes, beating dogs depends on the master. The prefect is the largest official in Songyang, and there is also Prince Lu, who is the legitimate son of the Duke's Mansion. The Lu family is also the best among the aristocratic families in the capital. Our business is also thanks to the prince's care and elder brother, and he is also promoted by the prince, so he is lucky to go to General Zhu's mansion to study art. This is the first day of our new family's house move. If we just ruin the slaves they sent out like this, let alone other things, the neighbors will point at the backbone of our whole family to scold us. We young juniors, it's nothing to be scolded. But grandma, you are old. If someone misunderstood you rely on your old age to take Qiao and take the prince's head, you may be guilty. Think about your former third aunt..."
Before she finished speaking, Liu had already changed his face.
