Chapter 311: Caution
Xue Han found this very interesting. "Mom, what kind of knowledge is there in this?"
Zhu Lan narrowed her eyes, "Because, a maid who wants to be strong in everything cannot see her own status clearly. She is not only willing to show off her ability but also willing to give orders to her master, which easily causes trouble for her master. As for a maid who only knows how to do things, she always looks at her own little piece of land. She cannot protect her master, but is likely to become a burden to her master."
Xue Han pondered it carefully for a while, her eyes brightened, "Mom, what you said makes so much sense."
Zhulan chuckled, "Look how excited you are. What I said is not accurate. I am just cautious by nature and try to avoid trouble."
In terms of modern experience, she doesn't need people who work for her to be too smart or self-righteous. She likes humble people who can adapt to the environment humbly and quickly absorb the knowledge they need to enrich themselves. She also likes hardworking people who try to make up for their own shortcomings, constantly broaden their horizons, and improve slowly.
Although the employees under her would not achieve results immediately, after continuous efforts, they all had a solid foundation. They went from making mistakes from time to time, to rarely making mistakes, and then to basically making no mistakes before she traveled through time. Each of them has a strong comprehensiveness.
Of course, everyone has different opinions and their own standards, but she is a cautious person who doesn't like trouble. This is just her standard.
Zhulan let out a long sigh. She had worked so hard to build up a team, and she had thought that the team would be able to stand on its own so that she could have more time to rest. However, she did not expect to be transported to the ancient times and start a life of worry and worry. She was so upset!
Zhulan was upset and didn't want to talk anymore. She said to the girl, "I will teach you later."
Zhao listened very carefully. Her own mother had never taught her anything because her perspective was different. Her own mother could not teach her either. All she could teach her was to protect herself, be patient, and give in. But what her mother-in-law taught her was so reasonable. She wanted to listen more!
Zhao really envied her sister-in-law. Who was the most blessed in this family? In her eyes, her sister-in-law was the most blessed. As soon as she became sensible, the Zhou family moved up step by step. What her sister-in-law wore and used were no worse than those of a young lady. Once she bought a maid, she would be a real young lady. When her father-in-law became an official, her sister-in-law would be a young lady from an official family.
Although the engagement was made very early, she did not feel it was a pity. Her vision was not high, but she could see the contradiction of the mismatch in social status from Mrs. Dong. The daughter of a rich family was married off to a man of a poor family. It was possible that her sister-in-law would suffer a loss if she married into a rich family. It would be better to get the engagement now. Rongchuan was a good student, and he was raised by her parents-in-law. With this affection, her sister-in-law would never suffer a loss in her life!
Zhao thought of her own daughters-in-law. None of them enjoyed as much as her sister-in-law because of their different status. Even if her father-in-law was an official, there was still a big difference between a daughter-in-law and a sister-in-law. The daughter-in-law could not rely on her brother, but on her husband. Her husband was not an official, so even for the sake of her father-in-law, a granddaughter was still far behind.
Zhulan had no idea that Zhao had thought so much in such a short period of time. Zhou Laoer had sent people back, and not only did he come to the main courtyard, he also brought Jiang Sheng's parents and eldest brother.
Zhou Shuren was not at home, so Zhulan brought her second son to receive Jiang Sheng's parents. Tea was ready at home. Zhulan almost couldn't recognize Jiang Sheng's mother. The last time she saw her, Jiang Wangshi was not so thin. Today she saw that she had lost so much weight, and it has only been a few months.
Jiang Wang felt her mother-in-law looking at her and her back stiffened. She was sullen. She had not been able to eat since she knew that her mother-in-law had become a mistress.
Zhulan set her eyes on the basket they brought. The basket was full of eggs. The most valuable thing was a piece of meat. There was no clothes for the child. Zhulan looked down on the Jiang family more and more. Were they here to cry about their poverty?
Jiang Sheng had given up on his biological parents a long time ago, so he was not surprised to bring these to see his two grandsons.
There was silence in the hall, no one spoke, it was really awkward.
Jiang Sheng's father endured and endured, he was still thinking about his two grandsons, "Mother-in-law, we want to see the children."
Zhulan looked at Jiang Sheng, and Jiang Sheng said, "Dad, the child is in the house. I'll take you and mother over there."
Zhulan didn't follow. There were too many people in the room and the air was bad, so it was better to sit and wait.
Zhou Laoer had something to say about the Jiang family, "Mom, my sister has been giving birth for three days and the Jiang family has only just come."
Zhu Lan really didn't care about this. "On the first day, the birth was late. I'll find someone to notify you on the second day. There's nothing wrong with coming today. Okay, get ready to get off the carriage. Jiang Sheng's parents won't stay long. You can send them back later."
The Jiang family doesn't have an ox cart, so it looks like they walked here. Their status and level are different now. They would not argue with the Jiang family before, and they will not do so now. Besides, they also have to consider Jiang Sheng's face.
As for Jiang Wangshi's being stuck in a rut, then let her get out of it herself. However, she thought Jiang Wangshi would get out of it soon. Zhulan couldn't help but think that the more someone pretends and the more they care about what others think, the more willing they are to get stuck in a rut!
When Zhou Laoer saw that his mother spoke in a nonchalant tone, he didn't even react, let alone get angry. He just kept silent. He still had to practice. Look at how calm his mother was.
Zhulan got up and packed some cakes and took out some leftover cloth from making clothes for children. These cloths were best for children. She heard from Xuemei that the eldest son of the Jiang family had a new son.
Jiang Sheng's father came back happily. Having more grandsons meant that the family was prosperous, especially his youngest son's family. He knew that there was a gap between his youngest son and the Jiang family. He had indeed gone too far, but the bones were broken and the tendons were connected. His youngest son was also a member of the Jiang family. If his youngest son lived well, he would have the face to meet his ancestors after his death. As for some people who said that his son was raised by the Yue family, he didn't care. As long as he got benefits, it was enough.
I used to think I could get some benefits from him, but now I don't dare to think about it. My in-laws have become adults, so it's better for him to be honest.
Jiang Wangshi also had a smile on her face. The two children were well raised. She thought twins were difficult to raise. But when she really saw them, they were almost the same as full-term ones except that they were smaller. Thinking about the clothes she would use for her grandson, she let out a long sigh. She felt that she was really a little ridiculous.
Jiang Wang finally spoke up, "Both the child and Xuemei are a problem for me, mother-in-law."
Zhulan raised her eyebrows. Was Jiang Wangshi getting out of her own way? "One is my own daughter, and the other two are my own grandchildren. It is my duty to take care of them."
Jiang Wangshi didn't want to stay in the Zhou family anymore. The jewelry on Zhou Yangshi was dazzling. She had been pursuing her all her life. When she thought about how much money Zhou Yangshi's bracelet cost, she felt upset again. She stood up and said goodbye, "We walked here. We saw that the child was fine and that the mother-in-law was taking care of him. We will go back first."
Zhulan handed the return gift she had prepared to Zhou Laoer, "There's nothing good at home, but I heard that my in-laws just had a grandson, so this is a little token of my appreciation."
Zhulan then said to Zhou Laoer, "You send your uncle and aunt back."
Zhou Laoer smiled and said, "Aunt, we have a carriage at home. I will take you back."
Jiang Sheng looked at his mother-in-law with gratitude and admiration. What a vision!
Zhou Laoer saw it clearly and realized that not only did his mother not take the Jiang family seriously, but she was also giving face to her brother-in-law. After all, the two elders of the Jiang family were his brother-in-law's biological parents, and not giving face to the Jiang family would indirectly mean losing face for his brother-in-law. Since his mother gave face to his brother-in-law, he would naturally be grateful to her and treat his sister even better.
Zhou Laoer said that he took after his mother, but it seems that he did not take after her at all. His mother saw through people's hearts too well, and he learned some from her.
Zhou Laoer realized it and became more friendly to his brother-in-law's parents. "Uncle, I also brought a water bag. You two can drink it if you are thirsty on the road."
Zhulan chuckled, Zhou Laoer's understanding is indeed good.
