Everyone in the Zhao family's old house fell silent when they heard the name of the Gu family.
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 over 100 pounds. She is very skilled in using the 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 food and vegetables 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 the 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 two different families."
"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 his entire family, and the entire Zhao family will be implicated.
As for the Gu family, they are just an outsider family and are not affected at all.
Even if 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 is just relatives, not my own family.
This is the reason why Gu Qingcheng did not openly help her mother's family.
Leaving your in-laws alone and keeping your nephews and nieces around can easily lead to gossip.
It is also not conducive to Zhao Qingyun becoming the soul figure 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, bad, but think they are smart.
Such a person is extremely dangerous. Even if you just stand next to him, 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.
"My aunt is right. My last name is Zhao, and I'd like to be 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 maneuver in his words.
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 support 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 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 can deal with a group of adults without any difficulty.
You can tell a child’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——
Zhao Da's wife's heart was pounding, and she looked at Zhao Qingyun with eagerness.
“Da Lang, even if you are a member of the Zhao family, there are still relatives and sisters, yes and no!”
"Your uncles and cousins may not be as capable as others, but they are certainly obedient!"
Mrs. Zhao emphasized the pronunciation of the word "obedient".
Zhao Er's wife and Zhao Si's wife also reacted.
They may not have thought as deeply as Zhao's eldest daughter-in-law, but they also knew that, for the time being, the third family was the one living the best.
If you want to benefit from it, 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 rounds and rounds in the old house, their family no longer dared to make trouble.
Now that there are tangible benefits, the daughters-in-law are even more united in purpose: not to go against the third wife, to cling tightly to her, and never let their own family suffer any loss!
Very good, the trouble in the Zhao family’s old house has been temporarily solved.
In the future, they will no longer cause trouble to me, and they will even 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 the future master of keeping things balanced, Zhao Qingyun still 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 selecting people from the old house was just an excuse.
More importantly, Gu Qingcheng still wants to use this method to restrain 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.
