"Mother, you can't be too partial. They are all grandsons. Ping'er married a daughter from the city. Why should my third son have to marry a maid? I will never agree to it!" Han Jincai's family and the old lady were in a stalemate when Han Wangshi rushed in from outside, looking angry and talking rapidly.
The old lady had thought that as long as she persisted and used the word "filial piety" to threaten the second wife, the second wife would agree sooner or later. She didn't expect that the idiot Wang would suddenly rush in and say such a long speech, disrupting her plans.
Han Jincai's family were also stunned after hearing what Wang said. They didn't expect that the old lady had this idea. No wonder she wanted to keep Xiaoxi. It was normal for someone with Xiaoxi's character and appearance to be noticed by the people in the first house.
Su Wenyue's face darkened, not only because the first wife coveted Xiaoxi, but also because she felt that something was not right about this matter. Even if Han Hao wanted to marry Xiaoxi, he could have just asked a matchmaker to propose marriage openly and proposed it directly. There was no reason to keep Xiaoxi with such an excuse. There was clearly something fishy going on here. She wondered what bad ideas the people in the first wife had come up with.
"Sister-in-law, what does this mean? Why don't I understand?" Han Jincai looked at Wang.
"What do you mean? What I mean is that my son will not marry a maid as his wife. You'd better give up this idea. Even if my son wants to marry a wife, he will marry a girl from the city. Someone like Xiaoxi is not a good match. Even if she is as beautiful as a flower, I would not like her." Wang was a reckless person to begin with. She was so angry that she didn't care whether the people in the second house looked good or not, let alone consider Xiaoxi's face. She just shouted it out loudly, making her intention and determination very clear.
"Eldest brother's wife, what are you talking about! You are talking nonsense without knowing the truth. When did I say that I wanted Hao'er to marry a maid? I just haven't been feeling well these few days and want Xiaoxi to stay and serve me for a few days. Don't talk nonsense without knowing the truth." The old lady was very angry and scolded Wang for being stupid. She wanted to keep Xiaoxi because she loved her grandson, but Wang came to make trouble.
Wang was stunned when she heard the old lady say this. Could it be that she really made a mistake? But Songge's daughter-in-law would not lie to her. If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she wouldn't have come to tell her. It was probably that the old lady and Zhou had discussed it and deliberately said this to stop her. Otherwise, why did they keep Xiaoxi? What was the point of taking care of her for a few days because she was not feeling well? She was with her mother-in-law all day long, so how could she not know that her mother-in-law was not feeling well? This old woman was clearly lying.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? We are together all day, how could I not know? If you are really feeling unwell, you should call a doctor. Xiaoxi won't be needed to take care of you. Your daughter-in-law will come to take care of you." Wang had made up her mind not to let Xiaoxi stay, otherwise who knows what the old lady and Zhou would plan.
After hearing what Wang said, Han Jincai and Yang stopped taking care of the old lady and felt relieved. It was a pity that the old lady would never let it go like that.
"Serve me, just don't make me angry, you troublesome guy. I don't need you to serve me. I think Xiaoxi is good and capable. Second brother, just tell me the truth, is it possible or not?!" Although the old lady said this, her eyes were fixed on Han Jincai, as if she would make a big fuss if he didn't agree.
The old lady was cutting the Gordian knot, otherwise who knows what would happen if Wang, the troublemaker, made a fuss. She glanced at Han Chen who was standing behind Wang and glared at Chen. It was most likely Chen who went to inform Wang about this matter.
"Don't even think about it. I don't agree. Mother, you are not sick at all. Why did you keep Xiaoxi here? It's obvious that you have bad intentions. You are planning to let my son marry a maid. I won't agree to it even if you kill me. Even the child's father would not want his son to marry a maid."
Han Hao watched anxiously, fearing that his mother would ruin his plan: "Mom, you misunderstood. I don't want to marry Xiaoxi. Grandma doesn't have that intention. Please stop making a fuss."
Wang looked at her son suspiciously. She usually didn't have this attitude. Why did he stand on the side of the old lady and Zhou today? Could it be that he was bewitched by a vixen, so he only thought about the old lady and Zhou? Wang didn't have any bad feelings towards Xiaoxi. She thought she was a very capable girl, but when it came to her son, she became upset. She couldn't blame her son, so she could only put the blame on the old lady and Zhou, as well as the person who bewitched her son.
"Hao'er, Mom is doing this for your own good. Don't be fooled by some ill-intentioned people. You have to marry a wife who is of equal status. Just having a pretty face won't work."
The old lady was so angry that her chest hurt. What Wang meant was that she, as a grandmother, had bad intentions and that she wouldn't have to go through so much trouble if it weren't for her grandson.
"Mom, I've already told you that I don't want to marry Xiaoxi. I just want to give her a position as a concubine. Don't be so persistent, really!" Han Hao was also anxious. As the youngest, he had been spoiled by the old lady and Wang since he was a child. He had a bad temper and he couldn't control himself and told her his purpose.
Wang was stunned and realized that she might have ruined her son's good fortune. As long as he didn't marry a maid, she wouldn't care if her son took a concubine.
Su Wenyue's Lian was completely dark. Great! What a great Han family's eldest wife, she really didn't take her seriously. A guy with no ability and no brains, actually looked down on her Xiaoxi, but coveted Xiaoxi's beauty and wanted to take Xiaoxi as a concubine. What did he think of her!
When Han Jincai heard what Han Hao said, his face turned ugly. Originally, if his nephew was willing to marry Xiaoxi, and Xiaoxi was willing, he would have nothing to say. It all depended on the opinions of the fourth son's wife and Xiaoxi. However, it turned out that this was not the case. He saw that Xiaoxi was a very good and capable girl, but was despised by the eldest son in the house, and he even thought about taking a concubine.
"Mother, what Hao Ge'er said is true. You kept Xiao Xi here just to make her Hao Ge'er's concubine?!"
The old lady was a little flustered when her grandson suddenly revealed her purpose, but she quickly calmed down. However, she was a little embarrassed when her son questioned her: "So what? How come Xiaoxi is just a maid and she is not satisfied with the position of a concubine? She is too ambitious."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Mom, you!" Han Jincai knew that his mother was never reasonable, but he didn't expect her to be so unreasonable. She actually wanted to take a good girl as a concubine. Even if she was the daughter of an ordinary farmer, who would be willing to be a concubine who could be bought and sold at will unless she was greedy for wealth and fame? Moreover, she was a girl like Hao Ge'er who was so uneducated and couldn't even support himself. Isn't this a waste of other people's girls?
