Chapter 146 The hero's best mother (thirty-three)
"My elders, please listen to me!"
After clearing his throat and temporarily taking control of the Zhao family's speaking power, Zhao Qingyun smiled and said, "We have actually hired a woman to do laundry, so we are not short of manpower."
Upon hearing this, people in the three rooms became a little anxious.
What does Zhao Qingyun mean? After thinking carefully, the three wives reacted first: Yes, the Gu mother and son have money.
In the county town, as long as you have money, you can hire someone, or even buy a maid or a old woman.
Why should they let the people from the old house who have a grudge against them get in the way? "Oh my! Damn it! How could I have been so foolish before that I actually planned to humiliate the Gu family?"
"It's all my fault. I should have taken the lead last time and occupied an extra spot. Even if Gu's company has established itself and can hire people, our second branch will not suffer any loss!"
"…I should have gone last time. Why was I so stupid? The first and second houses all benefited, but our fourth house got nothing!"
The three wives were all very upset. The big piece of fat meat that was almost in their mouths was now——
The fourth son’s wife is not very smart and likes to hide behind the eldest sister-in-law to take advantage of the situation.
But today, perhaps he was too regretful, and he actually spoke for a long time, "Da Lang, the hired people are not as reliable as our own family!"
"Also, you are an orphan and a widow, and you have no one to take care of you in the county. If you are targeted by gangsters, it will be troublesome if something happens!"
"How about this, your eldest uncle, second uncle and fourth uncle, you don't have to go to the county every ten days, you should go every three to five days!"
"First, they can deliver some firewood, second, they can help with some heavy work, and third, it can serve as a deterrent."
"You are not orphans and widows, you have uncles and brothers to take care of you!"
So, even if I have money, even if I fly to the county, I can't cut off contact with the people in the old house.
The fourth son's wife's words made the eldest son's wife and the second son's wife all nod their heads.
Yes, yes!
Money can buy servants, but if the master is too weak, he may be retaliated by evil servants.
Isn't there a similar story in the storybook: a widow of a wealthy family brought her young son, but her property was seized by a cunning slave, who then sold her and her son! Although in reality, such an operation is more difficult.
But, it’s not that there is nothing.
Even if the slaves do not retaliate, the orphans and widows will be bullied by bad neighbors and thugs.
Gu is still so beautiful, wow, she is definitely a beauty who brings disaster.
The Zhao family is still reliable.
Even when Zhao Guodong just died, Zhao Da and others were only thinking about making money and never thought of harming the lives of Zhao Qingyun and his brother.
After all, he is my nephew. I can't treat him like my own son, but I won't be too cruel to him either.
They are just greedy, not inhumane.
It's not necessarily the case for outsiders. They have no blood relationship with Zhao Qingyun, so if they plot, they will just want to wipe out the roots! Zhao Qingyun smiled faintly, "That's not a problem. After we moved to the county, several uncles and cousins from the Gu family often came to our house!"
My mother is not an orphan. There is a group of "butchers" in her family.
The original owner, Gu Youniang, had six older brothers, and the eldest and second brothers were more than ten years older than her.
The eldest nephew is one year older than Gu Youniang.
The eldest niece, the same age as Gu Youniang.
The Gu family is large and prosperous, and Butcher Gu's strong genes are fully displayed in his children and grandchildren.
Gu Youniang is the youngest daughter, but she is not the only girl in the family. She has nieces and great-nieces.
However, she is the most beautiful and delicate person among the three generations of the Gu family.
As if there was a genetic mutation, he no longer cared about his family and became tall, strong and dark-skinned.
Butcher Gu and his wife loved him very much.
As for Gu Youniang, she was raised on the milk of her eldest and second sister-in-law, and the two sisters-in-law treated her as their own daughter.
The other sisters-in-law may not be as good as the eldest and second sisters-in-law, but they also watched Gu Youniang grow up.
His own sons and daughters were too strong, so he was particularly fond of Gu Youniang, his soft and gentle sister-in-law.
Gu Youniang was the darling of the Gu family. After she got married, everyone in the Gu family took good care of her.
However, this time, the Gu family wanted Gu Youniang to remarry.
She was too young, becoming a widow before she was thirty, and her family members felt sad for her.
However, "Gu", who has always been weak and obedient, insisted on being a chaste woman.
She kept saying "I am the wife of the Zhao family", as if she was trying to distance herself from her mother's family.
After all, Mr. and Mrs. Gu, the butcher, were the elders. They felt a little embarrassed when their daughter talked back to them, so they said, "Okay, you are a wife of the Zhao family, and my Gu family can't control you," and they were angry with their precious daughter.
From then on, Butcher Gu never came to visit again.
Of course, having been a daughter slave for more than 20 years, Butcher Gu would not really ignore his daughter.
He couldn't bring himself to do it, so he let his sons and grandsons go.
Gu Qingcheng and her two sons will not be bullied in Zhaojiazhuang. In addition to the support of the Zhao clan, the murderous men in the Gu family also have a great deterrent effect.
Gu Qingcheng moved to the county, and the men in the Gu family also ran around.
He has a face full of flesh and a fierce aura, and he looks like someone who is not someone you want to mess with.
The "butchers" of the Gu family would go there to "check in" from time to time, and the entire back street of the academy knew that the Gu mother and son had a backer.
Just like those scoundrels in the Ji family, if Gu Qingcheng was really an orphan and a widow, they would not just take advantage of the Zhao family through Ji Sanlang's family, but would directly act like scoundrels.
When everyone in the Zhao family's old house heard the name of the Gu family, they all fell silent.
Yes, Gu is not an orphan, she has a group of brothers and nephews who are as fierce as wolves and tigers.
Even my niece can easily carry a pig weighing more than 100 kilograms, and she is very good at using a butcher knife! The Gu family dotes on their daughter so much, can they just leave her alone after she goes to the county?
The people in the Zhao family's old house were forced to carry things for the Gu family, fetch water and chop firewood.
As for the Gu family, they willingly ran to deliver vegetables and food to the Gu family and stood guard to cheer them on.
Moreover, if we only look at the fighting power, the Gu family also wins.
When it comes to deterring villains, the Gu family has more advantages than the Zhao family.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that the people in their old house are of no use to Gu mother and son.
It was Zhao's wife who reacted faster.
She forced a smile and argued, "The Gu family is indeed kind and willing to take care of their married daughter."
"But no matter how good the Gu family is, they are still strangers."
"Qingyun, your last name is Zhao, and your mother is also a member of the Zhao family. Your roots are in the Zhao family!"
The people in the Zhao family’s old house are Zhao Qingyun’s relatives who are connected by blood and share the same honor and disgrace.
To put it bluntly, if Zhao Qingyun becomes an official in the future and commits a crime, the imperial court will punish the entire family, and the entire Zhao family will be implicated.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
As for the Gu family, they are just an outsider family and are not affected at all.
It was Gu. Once she remarried, she would no longer have any relationship with the Zhao Qingyun brothers.
In ancient times, patriarchy was the norm and the father line was respected.
My mother’s family are just relatives, not my own family.
This is the reason why Gu Qingcheng did not openly help her mother's family.
Ignoring your in-laws and instead keeping your nephews and nieces around you can easily give you room for criticism.
It is also not conducive to Zhao Qingyun becoming the soul of the Zhao family in the future! Zhao Qingyun: ...This aunt is actually a smart person.
Zhao Qingyun likes to deal with smart people because they know what is best for them.
What he can't stand the most is people who are stupid and bad but think they are smart.
Such people are extremely dangerous. Even if you just stand next to them, you may be struck by lightning.
It’s good that Zhao’s wife is smart.
She is the eldest daughter-in-law in the old house. She can control the old couple Zhao Dashan, persuade her husband, and control her children and grandchildren.
As long as Mrs. Zhao knows the interests involved, she can make the wisest choice.
"What my aunt said is true. My last name is Zhao, and I am willing to get close to the Zhao family."
Zhao Qingyun said that he agreed with what Zhao's eldest daughter-in-law said, but he still left room for interpretation.
He just said "Zhao family" but did not mention the relatives in the old house.
Everyone in Zhaojiazhuang has the surname Zhao.
If the people in the old house are unreliable, are useless and are ungrateful people without conscience, then others can bypass the old house and help other members of the clan.
For example, Patriarch Zhao is not too distantly related to Zhao Qingyun by blood.
Patriarch Zhao also has several sons and more than a dozen grandsons and granddaughters.
Zhao Qingyun has no official title and is just waiting to pass the imperial examinations to become a scholar or a juren. Do you think the Zhao clan leader will try his best to win him over?
etc!
Zhao Qingyun?!
Zhao's eldest daughter-in-law suddenly realized that compared with her daughters who could learn a craft, Zhao Qingyun, who could read, had the greatest potential.
Look at Zhao Qingyun in front of him. He is only nine years old, but he is quite capable and has no difficulty in dealing with a group of adults.
You can tell a person's future at the age of three, and his old age at the age of seven.
Nine-year-old Zhao Qingyun has already demonstrated his intelligence and ability.
What if in the future——
Mrs. Zhao's heart was pounding, and she looked at Zhao Qingyun with eager eyes.
“Da Lang, even if you are a member of the Zhao family, there are still relatives and strangers, yes and no!”
"Your uncles and cousins may not be as capable as others, but they are definitely obedient!"
Mrs. Zhao emphasized the pronunciation of the word "obedient".
Zhao Er's wife and Zhao Si's wife also reacted.
They might not have thought as far as the eldest daughter-in-law of Zhao, but they also knew that, for the time being, the third family was living the best.
If you want to benefit from this, you have to please the third wife.
It’s just about “being obedient”, they can do it too!
In fact, as early as when the Zhao family had fought with Gu Qingcheng in the old house, they no longer dared to make trouble.
Now that there are tangible benefits, the wives are united in purpose: not to go against the third wife, to cling to the third wife, and never let their own family suffer! Very good, the troubles of the Zhao family's old house have been temporarily solved.
In the future, they will no longer cause trouble for me, and they will also be of certain help.
Zhao Qingyun secretly let out a breath.
Once the general direction is determined, the specific details are not so important.
As a future master of keeping balance, Zhao Qingyun chose the daughter of the fourth wife.
He is still young, only seven years old this year.
However, in the countryside, a seven-year-old girl can already do a lot of work.
Besides, Gu Qingcheng’s selection of people from the old house was just an excuse.
More importantly, Gu Qingcheng still wants to use this method to contain the Zhao family's old house.
Now, Zhao Qingyun and Zhao's eldest daughter-in-law have reached an agreement on "official matters", and the rest is just a formality.
