"I asked your mother to give up the throne because she is old. You are also sixty-two years old this year. You are not suitable either in terms of energy or physical strength.
It is not easy to train a matron to be the head of the family. The stability of a big family depends on the ability and wisdom of the matron. Although your mother is old, her ability is not inferior to that of her husband, and she has been in a high position before she retired.
And as soon as you married into the Han family, you have been a full-time wife. In terms of age, you are not young, and in terms of ability, you did not go to work every day, your thoughts are out of tune with the times, and you are not suitable for the position of the mother of the family!"
Mr. Han mercilessly rejected it in public, and also belittled Ding Xiaolian's abilities. Suddenly, Ding Xiaolian's face turned the color of pig liver.
If she's not suitable, she's not suitable. Why treat her as worthless in front of so many younger people?
Besides, what kind of outside work abilities are needed to manage a backyard?
Over the years, she has made many good suggestions for her husband's work, so why can't she manage a family well?
Although she thought so in her heart, Ding Xiaolian knew the old man's tricks, and no matter how dissatisfied she was, she did not dare to refute.
"What dad said is that I am not too young. For the long-term plan of the Han family, I should find a younger matron.
There is no one more suitable for this person than my Weiwei. She is 35 years old and works in the Finance and Taxation Department. She is young and has the ability to work. It is perfect for her to be the matron of the house!"
"Mom, I..."
Before Qian Wei finished speaking, Ding Xiaolian, who was holding her hand, pinched the inside of Qian Wei's arm hard.
The heartbreaking pain came, Qian Wei's expression became sad for a moment, and then she looked at Mr. Han with a smile: "If grandpa can trust me, I will definitely try my best to take care of this family."
Although the pain in Qian Wei's eyes flashed so fast that it was almost invisible, Qiao Ran, who was sitting opposite her, still noticed her.
Ding Xiaolian pinched her hard, but she didn't show it at all. It was obvious that being pinched was a common occurrence.
Unexpectedly, Qian Wei, who looks gentle, kind and has an outstanding temperament, turned out to be a young daughter-in-law who was bullied by her mother-in-law.
As the daughter of a family of eight founding heroes, Qian Wei's status is not low, so how could she be subject to such a backlash?
It seems that this Qian Wei has a very different temperament from her arrogant brother Qian Zhijie and yandere Bailian sister Qian Zhaoxue.
"Sister-in-law, by directly bypassing us and looking for a housewife from the next generation, doesn't it appear that the wives of our generation are incompetent? My father said that you are older and are a full-time housewife.
But our fourth sibling is not very old. She is forty-two this year and is the deputy director of the Education Department. She has been engaged in education for so many years and is in charge of a family. For her, that is more than enough." The third wife Liang Jing said.
Laugh.
"It is precisely because the four younger siblings are in important positions that they cannot distract her from family affairs. What's more, her two children, one who will take the college entrance examination next year and the other who will take the college entrance examination next year, are studying at the most important time.
She has to personally tutor her children. If her family affects her children's studies, it will be a loss for our family and the impact on our children's lives will be even greater.
What's more, as the deputy director of the Education Department, so many people are waiting to see the test results of her two children, so we can't let outsiders see the joke of our Han family, right?"
Listening to the eldest lady Ding Xiaolian's smooth speech, Qiao Ran secretly praised her in his heart.
As expected of someone who has been living in the Shenzhai compound for forty years, Ding Xiaolian won this war of words.
"Third sister-in-law, the elder sister-in-law is right. I know you don't want the younger generation to see the jokes of our generation of wives, but I am really helpless. I have a heavy workload outside and my two children at home are at the most important time of their studies.
If you are really not qualified for this job, why don't you do it, sister-in-law three? You are only 54 this year. Jingxu and Jinghuan have both started working, and Qianyi has gone to college. You have a lot of energy to focus on housekeeping." Four.
Mrs. Feng Qing looked at the third wife Liang Jing with a gentle smile.
"Haha, thank you to my fourth brother and sister for looking up to me. I still know how much I weigh. I am just an idle and unpopular university teacher. I have few students in class every day. I can't manage such a big family well without being embarrassed.
Got it." Liang Jing waved her hand and said with a smile.
Qiao Ran could tell that among the wives of the Han family, the third wife and the fourth wife got along better, while the eldest wife was isolated by these two people.
Mr. Han has five sons. The second son died young. The younger son Han Shining is Mr. Han’s oldest son. Han Shining, who is 40 years old, is not married, so there is no second wife or fifth wife here.
The battle between sisters-in-law only involves the eldest wife, the third wife and the fourth wife.
"If you don't do it, I'm old and my four younger siblings are busy with work and don't have the energy. If our generation doesn't have a suitable wife, why don't we have to look for one among the next generation? Among the next generation, Weiwei is the eldest daughter-in-law and the head of the family.
If she is not the mother, who else can do it?" Ding Xiaolian asked with a smile.
She couldn't do it for the mistress of the house, and if it fell to Qian Wei, there would be no difference between her doing it.
"Sister-in-law, this is not the ancient time. There is no serious distinction between elder and younger. You don't only have Qian Wei as your daughter-in-law. Ya Ling is also your daughter-in-law. You can't be partial to one!"
Liang Jingyan laughed and brought the war into the big room while chatting. Qiao Ran expressed his admiration for this.
This third wife is really a master of house fighting. If she were placed in the house of an ancient emperor, she would definitely have the last laugh.
Gu Yaling was sulking because she was ignored by her mother-in-law. Although Qian Wei came in earlier than her, Qian Wei was just a softie and couldn't beat a stick. Her temperament was not suitable for being a matron of the house, and she didn't care about such a big deal.
Family business?
She has been secretly laughed at because she gave birth to two daughters in a row, and she urgently needs a bright identity to establish her authority outside.
If she became the mistress of the house and walked outside, who would dare to laugh at her?
Just as Gu Yaling was about to speak, Ding Xiaolian stepped in and said, "Third brother and sister, you didn't listen to what my father said before. The position of the mistress of the house should not be changed. We need to find someone who is both young and capable of working. Yaling is the same as me."
She is a stay-at-home wife and has two children aged four and two to take care of, so she has no energy to take care of the house."
Ding Xiaolian couldn't handle Gu Yaling, the daughter-in-law's housekeeper. Gu Yaling was too quick-thinking and believed that the Gu family was strong. She didn't have much respect for her mother-in-law. Her son was also a strict henwife. How could she support someone she couldn't decide?
The way back was blocked by her mother-in-law, and Gu Yaling was so angry.
But in front of so many people, she couldn't have an attack. She just said obediently: "Grandpa, although I have two small children, they are very well-behaved and obedient. After I was pregnant with my second child, my second child became pregnant. In order to
You won’t have to work until the baby is born safely.
At work, my ability is also very outstanding. If my second baby's pregnancy had not been unstable, I would have continued to work, and I should have been promoted smoothly by now.
If grandpa trusts me, I will definitely work hard to take care of this family and never let grandpa, grandma and everyone down."
Gu Yaling is a proactive person. As long as there is a chance, no matter whether she can get it or not, she will not give up. She will take advantage of every opportunity to show off.
Although he did not know Qian Wei or Gu Yaling in depth, judging from their personalities, Qiao Ran felt that it was Gu Yaling who was outgoing, cheerful, and eloquent, and was more suitable for managing a family with complex interpersonal relationships.
