Those who had opinions about the Zhu family all surfaced at this time.

Li took them out one by one and showed them all to Ye Yuran. One was to let Ye Yuran know what was going on, so that Ye Yuran would not suffer a loss and the Zhu family would suffer; the other was to please Ye Yuran and let her family suffer.

She would be more partial to their room.

Ye Yuran knew well that there were so many sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren at home, and it was a technical job to get a bowl of water for them all.

All ten fingers have different lengths when stretched out, not to mention personal preference.

There are some things that you can't avoid, you can only try to "balance" them.

Like now, Ms. Lin didn't dare to challenge her because of her two sisters and her third niece, so she calmed down a bit; Mrs. Liu's belly was big and she didn't have the energy to make a fuss; on the contrary, Mrs. Liu, who was usually silent, started to "get angry" with her

, looking for something to do at home from time to time.

So far, the only person in this family who has not turned against her is probably Li.

But is it really Mr. Li who has a clear mind and doesn't want to make trouble with her?

No!

That's because the Li family is now the "vested interest" of the Zhu family, and controls the Zhu family's biggest interest - the food business. Whether it is outgoing or incoming business, basically all business goes through the Li family.

What Li has to do now is to "consolidate" his position and not let anyone take it away.

Alas... Ye Yuran sighed in his heart.

It is said that a daughter-in-law is not as caring to oneself as a daughter-in-law, but this actually makes sense.

Because everyone has "selfishness", and the daughter-in-law's selfishness is her little family. If the mother-in-law is unwilling to "let go", there will inevitably be conflicts.

Just like Ye Yuran's current situation, she can let go of some hands, but not others.

Ye Yuran knew in her heart that the Zhu family now revolves around her and takes her as the center because she has the ability to lead them to a better life.

What if one day she loses this ability?

Ye Yuran didn't dare to think about it, nor did she hope that such a day would happen.

Therefore, there are certain things that she will never let go of.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling the turbid air, Ye Yuran looked at the things that had been dried and went to the study.

There, there is the "future" of the Zhu family - their children.

As long as she holds them, her status will be "permanent".

On the third day, there was a big burial.

When the genius dawned, some people had already gathered in the courtyard of Zhu Gu and Zhu Li's houses, and they helped put Widow Qin's body into the coffin.

Zhu Gu and Zhu Li cried loudly: "Mother, my mother, why did you go?"

"Oh...Mom! My son can't bear to leave you!"

…

The cry lit up the whole sky.

One after another, people handed the offerings to Zhu Gu and Zhu Li, reminding them to put them on the table in front of the coffin.

After everything was ready, they started the day's "reception".

One after another, relatives and friends who received the news showed up and came to pay their respects.

"Zhu Gu, why did your mother go so early?"

The person who was crying sadly was said to be Widow Qin’s aunt.

Zhu Gu and Zhu Li were not very impressed and knew that there was such a person. However, after their mother became a widow, they were not very close to her and they stopped contacting her.

Her eyes were red, and she looked sad for the death of Widow Qin. Zhu Gu and Zhu Li could only put on even more sad expressions and comfort each other.

"My mother has been in poor health for a while. Originally, we wanted to work in the town to earn more money so that we could support my mother's health, but..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

"It's all our fault, if only we had grown up a little bit."

…

Except for Widow Qin’s natal family, most of the rest are from Zhujia Village.

Near lunch time, Ye Yuran, Old Man Zhu and their whole family also appeared at the scene.

They were given a small gift and someone took them to their seats.

Then a large family can occupy two tables.

Not far away, Mrs. Zhu Buffalo saw their figures and stared at them for a long time.

When Ye Yuran noticed something and looked over, she moved away again.

Ye Yuran: "..."

The two families were separated in different areas, and neither of them came close to talk.

There will be no shortage of people to talk to on Ye Yuran's side. After all, it is sweet potatoes and paddy field cultivation. She is now a popular person in Zhujia Village.

"Aunt Zhu, you are here too."

"Well, I just arrived."

"Sigh... I didn't expect Widow Qin to die at such a young age. It's really hard to talk about people like this."

"Everything in the world is unpredictable. No one can predict it."

…

They chatted one after another while waiting for dinner.

However, no one dared to touch Ye Yuran's misfortune. When it came to saying that Widow Qin's death was related to her, most people were polite and didn't want to "offend" her.

Next to them, there were people who saw Zhu Qi, Dabao, Erbao and others in scholar uniforms. They were all very jealous, and their chatting tone was full of envy.

There is no way, who made their family the only scholar in the whole village?

"Aunt Zhu, I heard that your seventh child will go to the state to study in a while?" Someone couldn't help but came over to inquire.

"Yeah!" Ye Yuran admitted openly.

"That's great! He has only been studying for a few years and he has been admitted as a scholar all of a sudden. When he goes to the state school, he will probably have to pass the exam to become an official, right?" There was a hint of envy in his tone, "In the future,

You are the mother of Mr. Guan, what a blessing. In our Zhujia Village, you are the most blessed!"

"You may not be able to pass the examination even if you go to a state school. There is a scholar above the examination, and there is a Jinshi above the examination. Only those who pass the examination can become an official..." Ye Yuran explained, "Lao Qi is still far away from becoming an official.

From afar, he is just a poor scholar now, nothing remarkable."

"How could it be? This is the first time in these ten miles and eight towns, who doesn't envy you? I heard that the seventh child in your family still has money, and the official salary is just like a salary."

"That's because he passed the first point exam and was given some rewards. When he went to the state school, there were all scholars there, and they were all able to read, so he was inconspicuous. If he hadn't passed the exam as a scholar, he would have been an official.

To give money, you have to do very well in the exam and be a particularly outstanding scholar, then you will be given only a few places."

"So that's how it is. I thought that anyone who is a scholar would be given."

Ye Yuran shook his head: "How can there be such a good thing? If you pass the examination as a scholar, the officials will give you money, how can you still say that you are a 'poor scholar'? If you want to live in the countryside, you can live with just a few taels of silver?"

"That's true."

For a moment, everyone sighed, saying that it is not easy for scholars.

Unless you become an official, you have been spending your family's money and you have to take so many exams. How many of them can afford it?

The Zhu family is the only one who can be so cruel as to send people to study. If it were another family, they probably wouldn't even be able to spend the money.

Ye Yuran also began to complain, saying that there was really nothing she could do. Who allowed her to give birth to many sons but not enough land at home?

People say that having many children is a blessing, but in her opinion, it depends on the family.

In a family like hers, not one son can get an acre of land, and they will suffer if they have more children. If their son has no land, and they have a family, how will they support the whole family in the future?

As parents, you can't watch your son starve to death, right?
