“I, I—”

Perhaps because he was too anxious, or perhaps because he felt too guilty, Zhou Ziqin spoke incoherently.

You really can’t blame Zhou Ziqin for being cautious, this is the current environment.

She may not have really intended to bully, but outsiders would instinctively think so when they heard about it.

She is about to marry Gu Qingcheng and become a family with him.

She hopes to get Gu Qingcheng's understanding and support.

She married into a lower class, and in addition to a generous dowry, she also received a "companion room" similar to that of wealthy families in ancient times.

Gu Qingcheng really didn't care about the outside world's criticism.

However, he can exercise his rights as a husband and let his wife take charge of the household affairs instead of spending money to hire someone else.

Just like some of Zhou Ziqin’s friends, some of them married into poor families.

Even though they have generous dowries and can afford the cost of servants, both their husbands and mothers-in-law will object.

They even have very noble excuses: What era is this?

This is a new society where everyone is equal!

How can we still be landlords and capitalists, exploiting and oppressing people as we did in the past?

Zhou Ziqin couldn't help but worry when she thought about what had happened to some of her close friends.

Alas, she was indeed attracted by Gu Qingcheng's looks and talent, but once it came to marriage, it was not as simple as just being attracted to him.

There were one or two moments when Zhou Ziqin wanted to go back on his word.

Gu Qingcheng interrupted her hesitation with a smile, "Ziqin, I understand what you mean!"

She looked at Zhou Ziqin, "Let me ask you, you said you treat Wei Ma and others as family? Not as slaves from the old days?"

Zhou Ziqin nodded vigorously, "Of course! Wei Ma is my wet nurse, she raised me since I was a child."

"And Uncle Wei, he's the housekeeper of the family, like my uncle, who takes care of everything for me."

"Oh, by the way, there's also Brother Wei Jiadong. He can drive and knows kung fu. He usually drives me when I go out."

This is a family of three, and it is also the "dowry" that Zhou Ziqin wants to bring into her new home after downsizing.

"Um!"

Gu Qingcheng nodded and continued, "Wei Ma and her family gave you work. They provided labor, and you paid them, right?"

Although Zhou Ziqin was nervous and worried, she was smart.

From the tone of Gu Qingcheng's voice, she seemed to hear some hints.

She nodded even more vigorously, "Of course. I will definitely pay them if they work."

Fifty yuan a month is higher than the salary of an ordinary worker.

"Ziqin, this is a new society. Everyone is equal, and there is no distinction between high and low jobs."

"We can't discriminate against workers like Wei Ma's family, right?"

When saying this, Gu Qingcheng blinked at Zhou Ziqin.

"Well, it's just like the waiters in a restaurant and the uncles and aunts who sweep the streets. They are all glorious workers, just with different divisions of labor."

Gu Qingcheng deliberately defined the relationship between Zhou Ziqin and the servant he hired as a normal labor relationship.

It avoids so-called exploitation, oppression, etc.

It's a consensual relationship where you pay the money and I provide the service. There's no need to make a big deal out of it.

After hearing what Gu Qingcheng said, Zhou Ziqin's eyes lit up.

Until this moment, Zhou Ziqin was absolutely certain that she had not chosen the wrong person.

Wei's family of three also moved smoothly into the young couple's new home.

The Zhou family was really satisfied with Gu Qingcheng's performance.

She accepted Zhou Ziqin's "dowry" not for decadence or enjoyment, but to give Zhou Ziqin enough respect.

She did not deliberately bully his wife of good family for the sake of so-called man's face and husband's authority.

Father Zhou, well, from now on I'll call him Uncle Zhou. He is increasingly looking forward to his niece-in-law Gu Qingcheng.

The Zhou family is satisfied with Gu Qingcheng, while the Gu family is satisfied with their daughter-in-law Zhou Ziqin with a mixture of "reverence".

Especially after arriving at the courtyard and seeing the so-called dowry, the Gu family finally had the most intuitive feeling - their daughter-in-law (sister-in-law) was indeed the daughter of a wealthy family.

It is said to be a courtyard, but in fact it is a mansion with two entrances and two exits.

There are two courtyards, each with three main rooms and two side rooms in the east and west.

There are about ten rooms in total.

The Gu family’s house in the countryside is not small, but it mainly has a large yard. The rooms are not as many as Zhou Ziqin’s dowry.

There are also household furnishings in the house that even a shrew like Gu's mother wouldn't dare touch.

Not to mention that the daughter-in-law also hired three people: an old maid to do laundry and cooking, an old man to guard the house, and a young man who can drive and fight.

Oh my god, my son’s life in the future will be even more comfortable than that of a rich landlord.

"Son, will this make a mistake?"

After being excited, Mother Gu became worried.

Although she doesn't have much knowledge, she also knows the current policies.

Behind her daughter-in-law's back, Mother Gu pulled Gu Qingcheng aside and asked her carefully.

Gu Qingcheng curled the corners of her lips, "No!"
