"Hmm! Of course!"
Yue Jiuyue proudly raised her chin.
"However, whether you want to live in this courtyard or choose a piece of land to build your own house in the future, that will depend on you. Especially for the eldest son, the children are all grown up now, and he has to work hard to earn money to save up for Xiaoman's dowry."
As for you two, you don't need to worry about the dowries for your weddings. But what kind of life you lead afterward will depend on your own efforts. Once I've raised you four brothers to adulthood and helped you get married, my task will be complete, and I can relax from now on.”
Yue Jiuyue didn't say anything about not needing them to support her in her old age, because that would be considered very outrageous in this era; "raising children to provide for old age" was the mainstream idea.
"Mom! I don't agree!"
"Mother, I don't agree either!"
"I disagree too, Mother!"
"Mother, don't tell the difference!"
Hearing this, the four people thought that Yue Jiuyue wanted to divide the family property, and that once the courtyard wall was built, the eldest son's family would be separated, and whoever got married in the future would be separated from the family. They all disagreed.
"Mom, we're family, we can't be separated! Didn't we agree that once I give you a big, healthy grandson, you'll help me take care of the baby?"
Liu was the first to disagree.
Everything was agreed upon beforehand, how can things be changed at the last minute? And dividing the family property, how can that be allowed! Not to mention whether outsiders would suspect her, as the daughter-in-law, of stirring up trouble, even Yue Jiuyue, as a good mother-in-law, couldn't bear to separate!
"Mom, don't say those things anymore. Don't worry, my brothers and I will definitely earn the money. I'm the eldest in the family. No matter whether the second, third, or fourth brothers divide the family or not, I will never divide it. I still have to take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die!"
Yue Jiuyue: (*￣m￣)
To hell with your retirement and funeral arrangements!
Just when I thought this boss was capable, he started spouting nonsense. If someone like him doesn't get sacked when he goes out, it's only because other people don't want to waste their own sacks!
"Mom, we can't separate. We have to stay together. When all four of us brothers get married and have kids, you'll have a whole bunch of grandchildren! Isn't that what they mean by 'enjoying the company of grandchildren'? You'll be eating candy and playing with your grandchildren to your heart's content. Wouldn't that be wonderful!"
The fourth brother squatted down next to Yue Jiuyue, tugging at her sleeve and shaking it, trying to make empty promises to her.
Moreover, it was a type of pancake that Yue Jiuyue didn't like.
"I, I will try my best!"
The third brother finally managed to squeeze out this one sentence, which made him so embarrassed that his face turned red and his neck bulged. Yue Jiuyue even wondered how he had managed to go to town alone to learn how to process medicinal herbs from Doctor Li. He was sometimes introverted and sometimes extroverted, and he could switch between these states at will.
Wait, does what the third brother said mean "try to have children" instead of "try to earn money"? Otherwise, why would he be blushing?
Yue Jiuyue felt completely unwell.
All three sons are determined to have many children so that she can enjoy being a grandparent in the future. According to the number of children a small family has in this era, five, six or seven children are considered few if nothing unexpected happens. So their family would have more than twenty children. Wouldn't she become a super, super, super super old mother?
If she spends all her time dealing with a bunch of kids' poop and pee, what kind of wonderful future can she expect?
Yue Jiuyue shook her head repeatedly; she refused to live like that! No one could ask her to be a maid!
