Isn't it all left to the servants to manage?
Qi Mingyu saw his mother's expression clearly.
As he stuffed the banknote into his mother's hand, he added:
"Mother, you have no idea how terrible it was outside during this earthquake."
The earthquake in our county only killed a few hundred people, but in neighboring Anning County, at least half the population died.
As soon as he finished speaking, Madam Shen, who was already weighing how much money the Xue family had made during this period, immediately made a decision.
"Marry, our family will marry Xue, Xue what was it again?"
Son, you said that Miss Xue knows about our family's situation.
If that's the case, the fact that she's still willing to marry you means she genuinely cherishes you as a person.
In that case, as your mother, I can't be the bad guy and break you up.
Let's get married. We'll propose the day after tomorrow and get married in April. The sooner we bring her into the family, the better my son can focus on his studies.
With her by your side, Mom can rest assured!
Qi Mingyu: "...Mother, Miss Xue's maiden name is Mengyu."
Although Shen's hand was injured, it did not prevent her from holding the silver notes.
At this moment, she had a bright smile on her face. "Okay, Mengyu is a nice name. It's much nicer than that fish or cat name from the Chi family."
"My son, help your mother up. Let me have a good talk with you."
Having received Shen's consent, Qi Mingyu immediately helped her sit up.
Incidentally, he also reached out and probed his father's nostrils.
Only after confirming that he was still breathing did I feel relieved.
Seeing his actions, Madam Shen said, "Your father is fine, but he is quite badly injured. In addition, he hasn't been eating well lately, so he is prone to falling asleep."
My son, I've thought it over. You're a promising person. When you get married, you'll live with your wife.
Your father and I live here, and we won't interfere in your lives.
Firstly, your wife can take charge of the household and will feel more at ease.
Secondly, your parents don't want to put you in a difficult position.
After all, our family needs their money, so we have less confidence than them.
If you really want to, just come back and visit your father and me whenever you have time.
It wasn't that Madam Shen didn't want to live with her son or enjoy a comfortable life with him.
She felt that since she was being asked to accept the Xue family girl, it was better not to live together for the sake of her life.
What if I get infected with bad luck again and end up losing my life?
If you stay here, the house is newly built.
With her son around, and her daughter-in-law in charge of the household, she figured the monthly filial piety payments would be substantial.
In this way, she and the old man don't have to do anything, living a comfortable life and making their son and daughter-in-law feel guilty.
As soon as Qi Mingyu heard his mother's words, he knew what she was thinking.
He immediately said, "Mom, thank you for understanding your son!"
However, the Xue family demanded that Zhuang Zilan abort her unborn child before marrying her off.
"About this matter, what do you think..."
Originally, the Shen family sent Zhuang Zilan away so that she could give birth to a child and then find a way to reunite the child with her.
If possible, we should ensure she lives a good life, and ideally, keep her by our side.
However, the present life conflicts with the better days to come, and a choice must be made between the two.
Zhuang Zilan became a discarded pawn!
If the Shen family were wealthy and living a comfortable life, they would definitely choose the latter.
However, she had truly had enough of the hardships she had endured during this period.
