By the way, let me also inform the Emperor that his wife is pregnant again. Not only his wife, but also his sister-in-law and brother's wife are pregnant. Your Majesty, you should decide for yourself. If you want to bestow a surname, you must choose carefully. You can't neglect one thing for another.
Gu Shouxin was very satisfied with his idea; let the emperor have his own headache!
Because he was the only one in the family pursuing an official career, the emperor interacted with him more. However, the three Gu brothers were all her grandsons, and the old lady showed no favoritism. You can choose for yourselves!
...
With the sale of the new town finished, Gu Xin and Gu Si will have a bit more to relax.
They made a lot of money selling their new property in the city, and their storeroom now contains many banknotes and silver ingots.
After spending a lot of time with Gu Xin, Gu Si also became greedy for money. Every night, if she didn't count the silver with her third sister, she felt like something was missing.
Grandpa Gu looked at the two girls, waved his hand, called over Grandma Gu, and then called over his three pregnant daughters-in-law to divide the money together.
Grandpa Gu asked Gu Xin to give him the account book, and he mentally planned how to divide the money.
The three daughters-in-law of the younger generation in the Gu family looked at their parents-in-law, somewhat confused. Why were they talking about the storeroom?
Once Grandpa Gu had made up his mind, he explained his purpose and then described his method of dividing the property. Zhang was shocked. The family hadn't divided the property yet, so why was the money being divided?
Cai Xiaolian didn't care; money was money, after all. After several years of living together, she had come to understand what kind of people her parents-in-law were.
Yang was only in her early twenties, still quite young, and somewhat nervously said that the money could be left with her parents, as she wasn't very good at managing the household.
Grandma Gu said, "It's precisely because you don't know how that you're learning now. The second son works in the government office, the eldest in Chunnan City, and the fourth in Baiyu City. Nobody knows what the future holds. I don't expect you to do everything, but I do expect you to learn."
Cai Xiaolian understood. The two elders were thinking too far ahead. They were guessing that once Chunnan City and Baiyu City were built, they would kick out their sister-in-law and fourth sister-in-law to help their husband!
Therefore, a housekeeper must be able to do this.
Zhang had no objections whatsoever, so the money was distributed smoothly.
Gu Xin and Gu Si, as the people in charge of this house sale, put in a lot of effort. Grandpa Gu gave each of the two children a thousand taels of silver, telling them to keep it as their own private savings.
When Zhang glanced at Gu Si, Grandma Gu said directly, "If the eldest son's second son's wife wants to help her daughter manage the money, then I don't mind helping my sons manage the money."
Zhang immediately gave up the one thousand taels that her daughter had.
Gu Si is very good at hiding money. As long as Zhang Shi doesn't ask for it openly, she usually won't find it if she goes to her room to take it.
As for Gu Nian and Huo Yanyu, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu will give them money later. They have also recently been helping with Zhang Shi and Yang Shi's affairs.
After his daughter-in-law and granddaughter had left, Grandpa Gu held Grandma Gu's hand and said, "Lanlan, you can manage the money yourself now, so you'll have an easier time. Do you think I should write to Mother and ask her to send someone to help you? You're managing the farm and the household all by yourself; it must be quite tiring."
Grandma Gu squeezed Grandpa Gu's hand back: "Brother Chuan, let's not trouble your mother. The families that the second son found are very honest, and I can manage them. With them around, I don't need to do much at all. Once the eldest son's wife and the fourth son's wife give birth and the babies can walk, let them go with the eldest son and the fourth son."
