Sun's mind tightened.
Yesterday, my son's back of his hand was red and swollen...
We must not let this little bitch stay in the Chen family!
The old one is a vixen who has turned into a fox spirit and is harming her man!
The little one is also a vixen, harming her son!
"He came to Xuanzhou to escape famine. It is said that everyone in her family died. There should be no one to take care of Jin Jie'er..." Sun asked tentatively, "Jin Jie'er's identity is a bit awkward. After He died, she has no right to stay in the Chen family. From my wife's point of view, should we ask someone to look for her?"
"You can look for it again."
Madam Qu sighed, "The hope of finding her is slim. It's been nine years. If there are still people alive in the family, no matter how difficult it is, we won't let the eldest lady and the bloodline of the clan wander around. We still have to have a backup plan."
Sun curled her lips, "Mother is right. Jin Jie'er came of age last year, and my wife took care of everything for her. Although their status as mother and daughter is awkward, our Chen family has taken good care of her. You even allowed her to learn calligraphy and embroidery..."
We must drive this little vixen out.
Sun's eyes rolled, "When the Third Master married my young lady, he also registered both of them in the Chen family... She's grown up and we can't keep her, and we are the elders after all. Mother, do you think we should add a dowry and marry her off?"
"Her mother just died! She should observe three years of mourning! Don't create a scandal that the Chen family forced a girl in mourning period to marry!"
Madam Qu scolded Sun, "Don't embarrass the Chen family again! The eldest son just passed away. Who among the papermakers in Xuanzhou doesn't want to find fault with our family? It's just a little girl. How much can she eat in a month? If we take good care of her for three years, the people in Xuanzhou will only praise us for our kindness and righteousness when they find out!"
Three years!
Sun smacked his lips!
Isn't that like putting a piece of fat meat right next to Shilang's mouth?
Can he resist biting?!
It's difficult, right?
Sun thought of the fourth son's covetousness for He Xianjin, and she couldn't help getting anxious. She looked up at Madam Qu twice, and finally said hesitantly, "I think it's better to send her away as soon as possible..."
"He Xiaoniang's family is well-educated, and Jin Jie'er is no less knowledgeable. My son Silang is young and full of vigor, and he was fascinated by her! How can he concentrate on studying?"
Old Madam Qu had not thought of this.
Qu Erniang looked at Sun.
Come on.
I don't know who hooked who...
Sun didn't hear Madam Qu's objection. She sat up straight and spoke quickly, "Look, Miss He has disturbed our third house. Her daughter really can't be kept! This is what I think. It's hard to observe mourning for three years in the countryside. Let's say it's Miss He's last wish to send the girl away early. When Jin Jie'er has observed mourning for a year, we will add two to one and prepare a dowry of ten taels for her to marry off."
Madam Qu had a blank expression on her face. "You have already made a plan."
He raised his hand again, motioning for Sun to continue.
"Jin Jie'er is now without a father or mother, and has no relatives, so it's hard to find a marriage partner. I think it would be nice to marry her off to a manager or accountant in our family."
Sun had thought about how to deal with He Xianjin early on.
If she really had to keep her, she would feel disgusted!
Not to mention the real money spent, she would eat less because she saw He Xianjin's face hanging around her every day!
"Mr. Nian, the accountant of our mulberry paper workshop in the east of the city, is quite good."
"He is a scholar. His family can no longer support him, so he has to come out to earn a living while studying. If our Jin Jie is lucky, she can even become the wife of a juren!"
Madam Qu frowned, "As I recall, the gentleman is already quite old this year? Does he have a wife in the country?"
Sun quickly waved her hands, "No, no! He just died!"
Qu Erniang: ...
"This is the best!" Sun was very excited. "His first wife was a virtuous woman. She worked day and night doing needlework to support Mr. Nian's studies. She became a tuberculosis ghost after working so hard. She was weak and didn't leave any children. Our Jin Jie'er will be able to take charge of the family immediately after marrying! If she gives birth to a son, what difference will it make between her and the first wife?"
Madam Qu had a subtle look on her face.
Wonderful...what's so wonderful about it?
The funny thing is that this man is a blood-sucking leech?
Sun glanced at Madam Qu and quickly added, "What's even better is that Mr. Nian's wife just died and he has to observe mourning. We can say that this marriage was hastily arranged by Miss He before she died. We can first go through the six ceremonies at the government office and then send Jin Jie'er to the farm in the suburbs to prepare for her marriage."
Sun gritted his teeth and said firmly,
"In the future, I will definitely discipline Si Lang, take good care of the children, and take good care of the Third House. I will never argue with the Third Master again!"
Nothing else impressed Madam Qu.
“Restrain Silang and take good care of the third room” touched her.
If Sun could really tighten her muscles and cheer herself up to be a mother and a daughter-in-law, she would be so happy!
Madam Qu's expression was slightly shaken.
Sun struck while the iron was hot, "Silang just passed the examination for a student. We can't compare with Jinlinlang from my uncle's family, but among scholars, Silang is considered to be a good person. Wait until he passes the examination for a scholar smoothly next year. The two brothers will support each other and make progress. Only then will you be proud!"
This touched Mrs. Qu's heart.
Nothing can stop me from studying.
After a long pause, Madam Qu sighed and said, "Let's do as you say. Talk to Jin Jie'er in advance and tell her clearly that it's not that our family doesn't want her to observe mourning, but her mother's last wish is for her to find a home as soon as possible. It would be best if she could find a young man. If not, she can look for another one."
It doesn’t matter!
The Chen family has three shops and four workshops, with many managers and accountants!
Sun had finally gotten rid of a big worry, and her expression was joyful. "Okay! Wait for her to stay here for a few more days, and I'll tell her about this!"
Sun said goodbye in a hurry and rushed out.
Qu Erniang added a pot of hot water to Madam Qu, "...my biological son is more important than my husband who is tied to the stable."
Chen Laosan was tied in the stable, and Sun didn't ask a single question.
She doesn't care about her husband at all in front of her mother-in-law. I don't know if she is stupid or she really doesn't care.
Madam Qu's hands were cold, so she warmed them with hot water. "Fools have good fortunes. The eldest has been smart since he was young. Look—"
The eldest son she had high hopes for died. She received a letter half a month ago and has been holding on until now, her throat choking with sobs. "I originally hoped that he would make progress, become an official, rise to prominence, and become a prime minister... I saw his body the day before yesterday. I would rather he was a fool, a stupid person, as long as he can live, be safe and healthy..."
Qu Erniang wanted to persuade her again, but she saw that Madam Qu took a deep breath, waved her hand, and her tone had recovered, "...The second son is too honest and not smart enough, and it is already difficult for him to maintain the status quo; the third son..."
It is unlucky to mention this evil.
Pooh.
"I just hope that Jianfang can study hard and pass the imperial examination after three years; and that the second wife can do business well and use the money to pave a bright future for Jianfang. Only then can our Chen family prosper for a long time."
