Chapter 76 Parents’ partiality is never justified
[His wife is the same kind of person as him, but she is good at sweet-talking her parents-in-law. The heavy work at home is done by the second son, while the sewing and washing are done by the younger sister-in-law and mother-in-law. She is only responsible for taking care of the three children and is lazy.
If her husband couldn't get the money back and couldn't eat good food secretly, she would have wanted to leave the child to the man to take care of and not let him go out to work.
Before Su Zi's second brother Cai Meng was born, a son died. He should have loved his next brother, but when he was six years old, a Taoist priest said that he had a hard life, because he had killed his father, mother and brother, and that he had to take the position of the previous person and was reincarnated.
So his parents were displeased, and from then on they treated him coldly, making him do all the dirty and heavy work, and often beat and scolded him, not giving him food. They also protected their eldest son even more carefully, fearing that he would be killed by them.
He learned to read and write secretly while his brother was studying. Because Su Zi was a daughter, his parents thought that it was this son who brought bad luck and turned their son into a daughter. Therefore, they did not like Su Zi and only valued the eldest son. 】
The baby voice of the system has a bit of pity.
Cai Meng looked up in surprise. It was Su Ye's second brother who was introducing himself. Su Qianqian's eyes fell on the young man and did not notice that Cai Meng's face had lost color.
Su Zi also had an unpleasant expression on her face. She held back the tears in her eyes and shook her head gently at her second brother.
[Before leaving, his mother reminded him not to mention that he could count or keep accounts, and not to compete with his elder brother. Even if the marquis's wife gave him the job, he would give it to his elder brother. 】
The system sighed, life is so difficult.
[However, there is one thing that his parents did not know. That year, his eldest brother spent one string of silver to hire someone to impersonate the Taoist priest because he did not want anyone else, not even his younger brother, to take away his parents' love. 】
After everyone had introduced themselves, Su Qianqian had also finished eating the melon and looked up at the eight people. Cai Yong seemed very confident at this time.
"Who among you knows how to do farm work?" Su Qianqian asked.
Several people looked at each other. Cai Yong rolled his eyes and guessed that it might be someone who knew how to do farm work who was going to the farm, so he quickly shook his head.
Zhang Baoshan and Zhu Ting also shook their heads. Su Ye’s two brothers and Cai Meng nodded. The other two hesitated and finally shook their heads.
"You three stand aside, who among the rest is better at using the counting chips?" Su Qianqian asked again.
"Madam Hou, I have been working as an accountant for several years, so I am naturally the best at counting." Cai Yong replied quickly, feeling very proud.
Among the others, only one took a step back, while the rest claimed that they had the best calculation.
"Why did you step back?" Su Qianqian asked the young boy named Mu Tong. He looked only fourteen or fifteen years old and was the eldest grandson of Nanny Duan who followed the old lady.
"I'm not good at counting, my grandmother doesn't allow me to brag, and I don't know how to do farm work..." Mu Tong blushed.
"Very good, you stand there too. I don't need to make plans, it's just the four of you, but you have to listen to my instructions. Are you willing?"
Except for Cai Meng, the other four people looked surprised and nodded repeatedly. Cai Yong and those who boasted about their ability to count were all stunned.
Cai Yong: Why are you asking so loudly?
"Cai Meng, don't you want to?" Su Qianqian asked.
"Madam Hou, I..." Cai Meng glanced at his elder brother, who was signaling him to refuse with his eyes. He clenched his fists and answered firmly, "No, I am willing."
Cai Yong looked at his brother, who always gave in, in surprise, with hatred rising in his eyes.
"Okay, you guys go down. There's no need to use the good chips. It's a waste."
Su Xing stepped forward and gestured, and those people went out in frustration. Cai Yong walked to the door and stopped, looking back at Su Zi who was silent, his eyes full of threats.
Su Ye's second brother He Sheng is twenty years old, and his third brother He An is eighteen years old. They didn't expect that they would be favored by Su Qianqian, and they were very happy.
Su Ye's father was the head of the farm, and her mother took care of flowers and plants in the greenhouse. Naturally, both sons knew how to do farm work.
"In the future, Cai Meng and Mu Tong will manage the two shops, and He Sheng and He An will manage the two farms. I will personally teach you how to run the shops and farms. I will teach you in this small flower hall every day at 5 pm. I will test you after half a month. If you are not competent, I will replace you."
Su Qianqian looked at the four people and said.
The four boys didn't know about the on-the-job training and were a little confused for a moment, but when they thought that the test would naturally be to test their abilities, they quickly agreed.
When I returned to Tinglan Courtyard, the rain had stopped. Su Zi walked silently beside me all the way. As soon as he entered the main hall, he called "Madam" and knelt on the ground: "Thank you Madam for hiring me, my second brother. Su Zi is willing to serve you loyally for the rest of my life to repay your kindness."
Su Qianqian reached out and pulled her up: "You're welcome. I hired him just because he is honest and trustworthy, and I just need someone like him. It has nothing to do with anything else. You don't have to thank me."
The unfairness of the original family will exist in any era, and the conflicts between parents and children will appear in various forms, including ugliness, distortion and cruelty.
Su Qianqian was unable to restore justice, so she could only extend a bamboo pole into the mud when she saw it. Whether or not she could catch it depended entirely on her own choice.
Su Qianqian had just sat down and picked up the teacup when the little maid handed her a letter, saying that it was sent by her uncle. She took it and opened it, and it was indeed in Su Runhe's handwriting.
However, after reading the content of the letter, Su Qianqian was a little confused. Could it be that she couldn't understand what the ancient people said? But her recognition and execution are all from the original owner’s memory, so she shouldn’t not understand.
Su Qianqian read it carefully again and found that although the words in the letter were mixed, she felt familiar with it.
"From tomorrow on, I will examine myself three times. The tea in Jiangdong market is fragrant. The Imperial College will open for classes and continue my studies. Don't worry."
"Madam, the messenger is still waiting for a reply." Su Ye reminded.
Su Qianqian thought about it, wrote a few words and asked Su Ye to take it out.
"Su Xing, are there more teahouses in the East City than in the West City?" Su Qianqian asked while drinking tea.
"There are indeed more teahouses in the East Market than in the West Market, because the East Market is mostly where ordinary people go, and food and clothing are cheaper there." Su Xing replied.
In order to support her sick mother, she had been wandering around the city since she was young, struggling for a living, and was very familiar with every place in Xijing.
"I see. Tomorrow, find a smart servant to inquire about all the teahouses, mainly which teahouse is located where and the owner's surname."
Su Qianqian gave the order softly, but tears were streaming down her face. She was really hurtful. Her mother was setting traps for her everywhere:
Write a book and use her name to make her a cannon fodder with bad luck. Knowing her personality and what she can do, she gets a time-travel gift package with just a bad review. There are also traps in the book for her to guess. The word guessing game is her mother's usual trick!
Su Qianqian tried to calm herself down. She couldn't be angry. If she was angry, she wouldn't be able to eat dinner. She was still looking forward to the new dishes that the kitchen would make.
Before dinner, Su Qianqian went there early to wait, and all the Qin family members in Fushou Hall were also looking forward to it. Only Qin Hanzhang looked unhappy, and there was some resentment in his eyes when he looked at Su Qianqian.
When the kitchen manager introduced the newly developed dish to everyone with a proud look on his face, Su Qianqian collapsed...
