Chapter 440: Money is everything

Although Yan Xiu has two sons, she is reluctant to let her younger son, whom she has spoiled since childhood, become a live-in son-in-law.

"We are very familiar with each other, so I won't hide it from you. My family is planning to find a son-in-law for Wangyou, so I have been keeping a close eye on him. Any man who is willing to marry her is either physically disabled or has some bad intentions in mind. Which one of them is not aiming to eat up the whole family? Once the girl loses her parents, those beasts will divorce her immediately.

Bring the girl's family's money to marry a new wife. My family already has a son, and they won't be left with nothing. Naturally, they won't want her to come. Besides, among those who are willing to come, there is really no good one to pick out. How can she be worthy of my family's care? We are really worried about her marrying out. If she doesn't live well, I'm afraid we will be worried to death."

Zhu Yingqiu saw that she looked unhappy.

He simply pulled her aside and started talking to her from the bottom of his heart.

"Besides, my mother-in-law has said that if you forget about getting married, she will never treat you badly. If your son Jieer misses home, he can go back from time to time. He can live with us in the first courtyard in the future.

If they don't want to live here, we can buy them a small house in town, provide them with a few servants, and let them live there. Forget about whether she can do good embroidery. Then we can open a shop for her and let them do some business. They can live a good life, right?"

Zhu Yingqiu mentioned buying a house and a shop.

Yan Xiu immediately smiled again.

Her family ran a small grain store in the town and made some money during the drought.

Life is better now.

Later, he used the money to buy the shop he had rented and also bought a house.

A whole family moved in.

There were three servants in the house: a gatekeeper, a cook, and a cleaner.

They are not even comparable to the Jiang family.

Hear what Zhu Yingqiu said.

Yan Xiu, who was originally a little angry, wished she could marry her son to him right away.

No matter how much you love your son, you can't go against money.

A house or a shop in the town, no matter how small or remote it is, will cost several hundred taels.

We are almost at her house.

Moreover, she knew Zhu Yingqiu, and since she said that, it was impossible for her to send a shop to a remote and small house.

So as long as my son comes home, he can enjoy the rest of his life.

She had to pay for the marriage, but her house was too small to accommodate her, and she had no money to buy a bigger house.

You also have to give a betrothal gift to your daughter-in-law.

Think about it this way.

It’s better to marry off your son first.

Yan Xiu retracted half of her smile and pretended to be very embarrassed, saying that she would go home to discuss it with her husband.

He was afraid that Zhu Yingqiu would overthink and think that he didn't want to agree, so he simply held her hand and spoke slowly.

"Your family is generous and treats your daughter very well, but you know how my family lives. Our grain store business is average and we only make enough money to make a living. If we really want to get married, I'm afraid I can't afford any dowry. Oh, what dowry? If my wife agrees, I'm afraid my family will have to pay for the dowry.

But my family can't give much. You also know how much money my family spent on my eldest daughter-in-law's marriage. Otherwise, my son Jieer wouldn't have to wait until he was almost sixteen to start looking for a date. But I can't promise you. I have to go back and ask the child's father. If we really become in-laws, it would be a closer relationship."

Zhu Yingqiu is a shrewd person.

After hearing these words, we know that the matter is accomplished.

Sure enough, money is the most useful thing.

I had originally thought that if Yan Xiu still didn't agree to my proposal to build a house, I would let Qian Liangjie, who had been seduced, go home and make trouble.

Now it seems.

It's no longer useful.

Her schemes were not as effective as the money.

Thanks to Liang Jie, he is a nice kid with a good temper.

Otherwise, she would definitely not dare to let Wangyou marry him.

Jiang Wangyou took Qian Liangjie on a tour of the courtyard, chatted for a while, and then came back.

It only took a quarter of an hour.

Quan'er followed the whole process.

"Okay, let's go back to the banquet. It's not good to be away for too long." Since the matter was half done, there was no need to talk about it any further.

Zhu Yingqiu and Yan Xiu returned to their respective tables with their own children.

Outside the toilet next to the garden, Jiang Tongshui bumped into a plump girl.

"Oh, you have no eyes."

"Wow, it was you who was walking with your eyes closed, why are you blaming me for it?"

One of them covered his forehead while the other touched his chest which was hurt by the collision.

Staring at each other.

Neither of them was willing to admit defeat and they refused to blink, determined to determine the winner.

The four eyes became redder and redder, and tears fell like strings.

Jiang Tongshui closed his eyes tightly and retreated.

"I give in. You win. It was my fault for not having eyes. I bumped into the girl. Please forgive me." He closed his eyes for a long time before he felt better.

He picked up the handkerchief and wanted to wipe his tears, but he saw the girl opposite him preparing to wipe her eyes with her dirty, patched sleeve.

"No, your cuffs are stained with oil and it will be too dirty to wipe them. Use my handkerchief."

"Hmph, thank you." The girl pouted and snorted. She took the handkerchief and thanked him again.

He has a very strange personality.

It's really fun.

Jiang Tongshui burst out laughing: "You are so funny. Others dare not say anything when they see a man, but you insist on competing with him."

"Why are you afraid to say anything? You are not a grizzly bear or a tiger in the mountains. Can you eat me? But you look familiar to me just now. Are you Fubao's brother? I think you look a bit like Master Jiang."

The girl wiped her tears and looked at Jiang Tongshui carefully.

She was suddenly shocked.

Asked quickly.

Jiang Tongshui is a bit like an invisible man at home. He is not as stable as Jiang Tongjin, not as talented as Jiang Tongji and Jiang Tongmu, not as naughty as Jiang Tongtu, and not as young as Jiang Tongxiang, who is loved by his family.

Together with Jiang Tonghuo, they are stuck in the middle and are often ignored by their family.

But he and Jiang are both fire elements, so they can be said to be the two most handsome among the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

He looks at least 30% like Jiang Shoujia.

"Yes, I am her third brother. Who are you?"

After Jiang Tongshui answered, he asked her back.

"Brother Jiang San, I'm sorry for what I did to you. I didn't have eyes and bumped into you. I'm Hongxia. If your grandfather hadn't saved my brother, he would have died there like those people who were doing forced labor."

Chen Hongxia felt a little embarrassed.

She apologized.

After all this time, you are my benefactor.

How could she be so cruel to her benefactor? If her grandfather knew about it, she would definitely be scolded.

"Hongxia? Oh, you are Old Chen, forehead...Grandpa Chen's granddaughter, right? Girls really change a lot when they grow up. You are nothing like when you were a child. Back then you were dark and looked like a boy. Now you are much prettier, I couldn't recognize you.

It's okay, it's just a bump. I'm a grown man and it doesn't hurt at all. But you, your forehead is red. Come with me to find Fubao. I'll ask her to get you some ointment. Fubao bumped her forehead before and it healed after applying it a few times."
