Chapter 264 How did I become less confident after giving birth to a daughter?
When Mr. Chu heard that his daughter had given birth to a granddaughter, he was worried that the Du family would be unhappy, so he planned to give his daughter something attractive to save face.
Before he could decide what to give, the Du family's red eggs had already been given away. Many people bowed and complimented him when they saw him, saying that he had good taste and was good at choosing people.
It was really a good choice to marry my daughter into the Du family. Not only was the son-in-law capable, but the adults in the family were also honest and would not bully their daughter-in-law. The family lived in harmony and loved each other.
He smiled so hard that his teeth showed. He had taken many good things from his son-in-law's farm to sell over the years. Even if others couldn't get the goods, his son-in-law would leave some for him to ensure that he could operate normally.
The only thing that gave him a headache was his second daughter Chu Hanlan, who had disrupted his eldest daughter's wedding that day and was originally going to be sent to the manor. He didn't know how the scholar Zhang Shaoyou got to know about this and came to offer himself to marry his daughter.
The old lady decided to marry her second daughter Chu Hanlan to Zhang Xiucai, and they got married in a hurry. Two maids, two old women, and four servants were brought as a dowry.
Zhang Shaoyou's family was poor. He had only a widowed mother and a younger brother, and their family had a few acres of thin land, and they could barely make ends meet.
Chu Hanlan married with a rich dowry, so she was naturally arrogant and domineering. Zhang Shaoyou could tolerate it at first, but after a while he got tired of it and simply ignored Chu Hanlan's unreasonable behavior and used her dowry to eat, drink, gamble and whore outside.
Whenever Chu Hanlan had something to do, she would go back to her parents' home to cry and complain, but the old lady was too lazy to pay attention to her and left her to deal with it herself.
He was almost annoyed to death. He had raised her with his love, so how could he bear to see her cry?
Some time ago, when he went to the farm and met his eldest daughter, he told her about this. The eldest daughter gave him an idea at that time.
"Sister Lan'er's aunt has been banished to the village for a long time. She must miss her very much. Why doesn't father bring aunt to sister's place? First, they can be reunited. Second, father can give aunt a task and ask her to persuade sister not to come to our house and make trouble. It is the Zhang family that should make trouble, not the Chu family."
The words of his daughter made the old man of the Chu family stunned. What was she talking about? Why didn't he think of it? The eldest aunt was not an easy person to deal with. Sending her to deal with Chu Hanlan and Mr. Zhang should be effective.
After going home and discussing with the old lady, he sent a trusted servant to bring the concubine back from the farm and sent her to the Zhang family. He didn't know if she could complete the task he had given her. It had been several days, and there was no news.
Since the eldest daughter got married, she seldom returns to her parents' home. Every day she follows her son-in-law to the farm to do this and that, happily.
Every time he saw her, she had a smile on her face. Seeing the smile on her face, he was happy for his daughter.
The Du family is really broad-minded. Even though their son-in-law's business is getting bigger and bigger and he's making more and more money, they still maintain the same living habits as when they first came to Liangjun City.
It is rare to be able to remain calm in wealth and status, to be simple and unpretentious, and to remain unchanged in poverty and humbleness.
When she heard that her daughter had given birth to a granddaughter, she was afraid that the Du family would feel unhappy, so she thought of doing something to make it up to them. But before she could figure it out, the Du family had already expressed their intentions.
No one cares at all, and his little granddaughter is still valued. He really admires the Du family's style of dealing with people.
The old man of the Chu family made a pure gold necklace, gold bracelets and other things for the child, and sent them to the Du family when the child was born.
He gave this willingly. The Du family was kind and generous, so he couldn't be stingy. Respecting his daughter was also a way to save his face.
Du Wenjun's business was indeed growing bigger and bigger, and his marinated ingredients were selling like hot cakes. He had already arranged for someone to go to the capital to open a marinated ingredient workshop and brought a group of people over.
Pingyang Hou recruited a new group of retired veterans under his command, and they all established a firm foothold in the capital, whether it was sugar, sesame oil or tea oil.
Du Wenjun also went to the capital in person and bought several farms, connecting them together to form a farm that was larger than the one in Liangjun City.
It is estimated that it can accommodate three to four thousand people. As long as they are retired soldiers with certificates, he will accept them on his farm.
Following the model of Liangjun City, he replicated the manor in the capital. This was a method his eldest sister told him, called industrial replication.
No matter where you go, as long as someone has land, success can be replicated.
Du Wenjun was overjoyed that the Zhuangzi in the capital had been successfully replicated. His heart was filled with enthusiasm, and it seemed that he was one step closer to becoming a rich man.
Few people in Liangjun City knew that he had built a replica of a large farm in the capital, and they all thought he was out discussing business.
The birth of his daughter gave him more motivation. With a wife and child, he was no longer a child, he was a man.
A little man of seventeen.
Holding the soft child in his arms, his face was full of smiles. Chu Hanfeng asked him: "Husband! Do you feel regretful for not being able to give you a son?"
"What are you regretting? Flowers bloom before seeds are produced. Besides, we are still young. Why are you in a hurry to have a son or not? Don't think too much. Take good care of yourself and keep working hard to give me a son next time." Du Wenjun teased his daughter and Chu Hanfeng, "Can't you see our family?
Although my eldest sister is a girl, she is much better than me and my two younger brothers. And you, you are no less capable than me. Wife! Feng'er! Don't worry about having a son or a daughter. No matter what, it is a gift from God. "
Chu Hanfeng was still a little worried: "What if I can't give birth to a son? Will you divorce me and marry someone else?"
"No. My father said that in our Du family, we don't divorce wives and take concubines." The child started crying, and Du Wenjun quickly held her to Chu Hanfeng, "Hurry up and take a look at her, what's wrong with her?"
Chu Hanfeng took it, opened the bag and checked it, and smiled: "It's pooped."
Du Wenjun: "I'll go get mom to change the diaper."
"No, I can do it myself." Chu Hanfeng skillfully took out a clean diaper and changed the baby. "You can't call mom for everything. It's very hard for her to take care of me during the confinement period."
"How about I go to the pawnshop and buy a maid to help?" Du Wenjun also noticed Yao Meixian's hard work. "I'll talk to my mother about it tomorrow and see if she agrees."
"No need to buy it." Chu Hanfeng tidied her daughter and put her on the bed, "My nanny was driven out by my mother because of my illness, and I met her half a year ago.
She was old and could no longer do any work, so she was driven out by her son and daughter-in-law. She made a living by washing clothes for others and lived in Douya Lane in the south of the city.
Tomorrow you can talk to mother and see if we can bring the nanny here so we can take care of her until the end of her life. The nanny has always been very kind to me and never disliked me because of my illness."
"Okay, I'll go talk to mom tomorrow." Fearing that Chu Hanfeng would be in a bad mood, Du Wenjun went to bed and hugged her, "Wife! Feng'er! Don't be sad. Our family will accept anyone who treats you well.
Because you are the eldest daughter-in-law of the Du family and the legitimate daughter of the Chu family, your parents and eldest sister all think you are talented and look up to you. But you, on the other hand, are not confident about giving birth to a daughter? It's just a son! If others can give birth, you can definitely give birth to one too, so why are you in such a hurry? "
