"That kid is quite skilled! I want to take him abroad to hone his skills for two years, so he can help you train him.
Your uncle Wu and I will eventually die before you. If someone helps you, your grandfather, uncles, and I can rest easier in the grave."
The Third Master was probably thinking of the past, and he became more and more emotional the more he spoke!
Lan Guoer felt something was not right the more she listened, so she interrupted him.
"Your physique is no worse than that of a young man in his twenties, but don't try to take advantage of your age in front of me. Our Lan family still depends on you!"
Then Lan Guoer returned to the original topic.
"I've told Zhao Wu to come back in a couple of days. You can ask him what he thinks then. But if he goes abroad, I'm afraid I'll be worried about his mother and brother."
"You've met that kid's mother, what do you think of her?" asked the Third Master.
"What a good mother!"
Having only met him once, Lan Guoer can only give this answer for now.
The Third Master thought for a while and said,
"This Zhao Wu family has lived in this village for generations, so their family background is easy to find out! I'll go find out later.
Jinyuan is such a big yard, and it depends entirely on our own family to take care of it. How can we handle it?
I think the situation is getting better and better. You should hire some more people. For example, in our previous Lan Mansion, we had dozens of servants just for cleaning!"
Lan Guoer understood what the Third Master meant, and she was not opposed to hiring a servant. After all, she had lived the same life in her previous life.
Besides, this is not the old society. Employment relationships are based on mutual consent, so there is no question of exploitation!
She also knows that having an experienced housekeeper or nanny at home can make life much easier.
"Okay! I'll trouble you to discuss the following matters!"
With such an experienced elder leading the way, Lan Guoer naturally felt happy and at ease.
The Third Master’s reconnaissance ability is quite good!
In the afternoon, he took the triplets for a stroll around the village and found out everything about Zhao Wuzu's ancestors.
Zhao Wu's father used to be the platoon leader of the village militia and the best hunter in the village.
Three years ago, Zhao's father went hunting in the mountains and encountered a group of wild boars attacking the villagers.
In order to rescue the villagers, he was stabbed in the belly by a wild boar. When the villagers sent him to the county hospital, he was already dead.
The villagers were grateful for his kindness and collected 200 yuan for Lao Zhao's family.
200 yuan is a considerable sum of money in this small mountain village. At least it can provide their family of three with enough food and clothing.
However, the Zhao family used the money to build a new house for their youngest son's marriage and to collect the betrothal gift, claiming that they had not divided the family business.
Later, when Liu Guiying fell ill, the Zhao family saw that she could only lie in bed all day, not only could she not earn any work points, but she also had to eat and drink for free.
So he found a reason to separate Zhao Wu and his family of three.
They were only given twenty yuan and two adobe houses.
As soon as the Third Master got home, he told Lan Guoer all the information he had found out.
After hearing about Zhao Wu’s father’s heroic deeds, Lan Guoer made a decision that the hero’s wife and children were worthy of her trust!
The days at home during the New Year were very busy, and in the blink of an eye it was the fourth day of the New Year.
These days, there are always people visiting relatives coming and going in the village.
The previous generation of the Tang family had very few members. Old Man Tang had only one brother, and now they both have their own grandchildren. The two families rarely interfere with each other, and each family lives their own life.
Tang's mother was often treated harshly by her natal family when she was young. Since she married Old Man Tang, every family was having a hard time, and she almost cut off contact with her natal family.
By Tang Zhan's generation, the Tang family only had four sons, and there was no such thing as a son-in-law returning home! Over the years, this saved them a lot of trouble compared to other families.
Why is it troublesome?
It’s true that in the past few days, there have been quarrels and fights in the village every day!
Either the son-in-law who returned to his parents' home complained that his mother-in-law didn't pay enough attention to him, or the sister-in-law who returned to his parents' home started a fight with her! There were also people who got drunk and overturned the table, and started a group fight!
In short, it was a very exciting spectacle.
Just after having breakfast, Tang's mother went to Aunt Zhang's house in the front row to watch the show.
She came back and said that her sister-in-law came back today. Not only did she not bring back a single steamed bun, she also pointed fingers at Aunt Zhang, saying that her parents looked down on her and that the food they served her did not have even two ounces of oil.
She kept clamoring for her mother and elder brother to take charge of the matter for her, and insisted on watching them beat up Aunt Zhang on the spot.
Aunt Zhang also has a bad temper, how could she let them deal with her?
Seeing that her mother-in-law and husband wanted to favor her younger sister, before they could do anything, Aunt Zhang poured the ingredients she had prepared in advance into a bamboo basket, picked it up and went to her parents' home.
When Mrs. Zhang and her eldest son wanted to take action, was there anyone in the kitchen?
Not only did they leave, but they didn't even leave them a single leaf of vegetable!
Old Mrs. Zhang was so angry!
He was jumping up and down and cursing outside!
“Boom boom boom!”
“Boom boom boom!”
Tang's mother was talking to Lan Guoer in a vivid and lively manner when she heard someone knocking on her door.
"Oh my dear, it's been a long time since we last met!"
When Old Lady Zhang saw Tang's mother, she forced a smile and moved closer to her. They were so intimate that the two looked like conjoined twins.
"I heard you've moved into the capital? Oh my god! How come you're so lucky? And your face, oh my god, so delicate and tender, how come you seem to be getting younger and younger?"
When Mrs. Zhang showed her familiarity and enthusiasm, even Mother Tang, who was a seasoned woman, could hardly withstand it!
Mrs. Li and Li Qinglian followed closely behind and walked into the yard.
"These are the rice cakes and sausages my grandma and mother brought for you. Aunt Tang, please try them." Li Qinglian handed the bamboo basket in her hand to Tang's mother, but her eyes were looking into the house.
"Oh! I can't accept such a precious thing!" Tang's mother pushed the bamboo basket away, and took two steps back as if she was afraid of getting involved in some trouble.
"Are you here to visit Jinhua's relatives? Why isn't she at home?" Without waiting for their response, Tang's mother immediately changed the subject.
These days, no one has enough food to eat. If she accepts this gift, she will be treated to good food and wine.
But his Tang family has now split up, and the relatives of the eldest son should be entertained by the eldest son. If she takes over this responsibility, what should she do when the relatives of the second and third sons come? Will she have to entertain them all?
Thinking of this, Tang's mother didn't dare to keep them any longer!
She stood up and walked out, muttering as she walked,
"Golden Flower is such a jerk! Her family is already at the door, why didn't she come out to greet them? It's really outrageous!"
Old Mrs. Li and Sister Li learned from Li Qinglian that the Third Master always had meals with the old couple from the Tang family and had never intended to go to Li Jinhua's place!
