Chapter 234 Fortunately, the old lady is a fair person
When the Qiu family's grandmother heard this, she understood that the marriage was probably done. She was overjoyed and said, "That's right. Xia Qiu is a gentle child. If Xiao Jing marries into the family in the future, they will definitely get along well."
Mother Qiu's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down. She had not expected that a plate of melon would make things go so smoothly. She was even more satisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law.
Originally, the girl had fallen in love with Xia Qiu's brother-in-law Qiu Shaocheng, but her mother was dissatisfied with the marriage because the Qiu family had not yet split up and the eldest wife had a unreasonable daughter-in-law, Zhang Shanmei.
I came here today to see the Qiu family’s attitude.
At this time, the grandmother of the Qiu family spoke up and said, "Xiao Jing's mother, I know what you are worried about. After Shao Cheng gets married, we will separate. After all, my two grandsons are grandfathers now, and it is really not suitable for the whole family to stir the same pot."
As soon as these words came out, An Xiaojing's mother's face was full of joy: "You are really open-minded."
The Qiu family's grandmother waved her hand and said, "I am old and can no longer take care of it. Besides, my children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
After the matter was settled, the matchmaker and the An family's mother and daughter did not stay any longer. They agreed that the Qiu family would come to propose marriage in three days, and then they left.
After sending them away, Aunt Qiu looked at Grandma Qiu and said, "Grandma, you just said that Shaocheng will split up the family when he gets married?"
Grandma Qiu looked at her and said, "Well, you are all grandparents now, and it's time for you to run your own households. It's time for an old lady like me to enjoy a few days of peace and quiet."
"But my Shaohe hasn't seen it yet."
Mrs. Qiu knew what she was going to say and interrupted her directly, "Your Shaocheng is not good enough, but doesn't the second house have Shaomei? It's fair that one of each family has not yet started a family."
The eldest aunt of the Qiu family said, "Shaohe is a boy and Shaomei is a girl. One pays for the bride and the other receives the bride price. How can it be the same?"
The Qiu family's grandmother directly exposed her little thoughts: "You married two daughters-in-law, and the second wife also married two daughters-in-law. Isn't this very fair? Besides, Shao Lan of the second wife didn't take all the betrothal gifts. You can only blame you for giving birth to only sons."
The eldest aunt of the Qiu family had nothing to say now. After all, when Shaolan from the second wife got married, she only took away a part of the betrothal gift given by the man's family, and the rest was left at home.
Seeing that the old lady did not favor her eldest sister-in-law, Mother Qiu felt much better. When her eldest sister-in-law gave birth to a son as her first child and she gave birth to a daughter as her first child, she had been bullied by the old lady a lot. Later, when they both gave birth to two sons in a row, her eldest sister-in-law stopped saying sour words.
I didn't expect that she would have such an idea today. I'm afraid she still wants to use the money for her youngest son to marry. She is really calculating. Fortunately, the old lady is a fair person.
Chuxue talked to her sister for a while, and then prepared to leave: "Sister, stay away from your second cousin's wife from now on."
Xia Qiu knew that her sister was doing this for her own good: "I know."
When the two sisters came out of the house, they saw Qiu Shaofeng jogging into the yard.
Xia Qiu saw him running with sweat all over his forehead: "Why are you back?"
Qiu Shaofeng looked at Chu Xue and said, "I heard that my sister-in-law was here, so I came back to see her."
Xia Qiu said with a smile on his face: "The first snow sent me a lot of apricots, enough for me to eat for a few days. You don't have to go to the mountains after work. The day for warming up the house is set on the sixth day of the first lunar month."
Qiu Shaofeng also laughed when he heard this: "Then let's go there earlier, and I can help run around."
After saying that, he looked at his sister-in-law and said, "Chuxue, you have helped me a lot. Your sister has wanted to eat something sour these days, but I ran a few times and only found a few apricots. I was planning to go deeper after work today to see if I can find an apricot tree."
