Everyone looked at Old Mrs. Tian.
Grandma Tian's first reaction was that her eldest brother was full of bad ideas.
But then I thought, her old man is so stubborn, maybe this is the only way to work.
As for the concerns of Xie Lao Da's wife and Xie Lao Er's wife, Old Mrs. Tian hadn't even considered them. Old Mrs. Tian knew that men always had the double standard of "the magistrate is allowed to set fires, but the common people are forbidden to light lamps."
After making the decision, Grandma Tian slapped her thigh. "Okay, let's do it this way."
Xie Lao Da's wife and Xie Lao Er's wife: "..." Mother-in-law, think it over!
Tian Lao Er: "..." Oh no, his second aunt has been led astray by his father.
The second and third patriarchs were momentarily speechless with sympathy for their second sister's husband.
Xie Lao Da and Xie Lao Er: "..." Their mother is determined to bring their father to the capital.
Grandpa Tian, seeing that Grandma Tian also thought his idea was great, laughed with pride. "Hahahaha..."
He'd been wanting to teach his second brother-in-law a lesson for a long time. Not only wasting his own talent, but also dragging his second foreign language teacher and his nephews into his misery. "I'm going to write a letter right now."
After saying that, Old Master Tian was about to leave.
Tian Lao Er quickly pulled him back. "Dad, we haven't discussed the matter of the two younger cousins yet."
The eldest and second eldest daughters-in-law nodded quickly. "Yes, yes." They hadn't discussed their husbands' affairs yet.
Old Master Tian glanced at Tian Lao Er, Xie Lao Da's wife, and Xie Lao Er's wife a few times. "Is there any need to discuss this? Of course, it's the sons following in their fathers' footsteps."
Tian Lao Er: "..." What does his father mean by that look?
The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law of Xie: "..." They also wanted their husbands to inherit their fathers' businesses, but their husbands didn't have the same abilities as their fathers-in-law.
Just as Xie Lao Da's wife and Xie Lao Er's wife finished thinking, they heard their husbands voice their true feelings.
The eldest Xie's wife and the second Xie's wife started nodding again.
This time, even Old Master Tian looked down on Xie the eldest and Xie the second. "It's not like I'm new to being your uncle. Of course you know your place as your uncle."
Xie Laoda and Xie Laoer: "..." Then why do you still want us to follow in our footsteps?
Old Master Tian looked at them and said, "His Majesty, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess treat you so well, are you just planning to let your father stay at home doing nothing?"
Xie Laoda and Xie Laoer: "..." Why is his father being dragged into this again?
Seeing that the two brothers hadn't reacted yet, Old Master Tian patted them twice. "You two, you're neither like your father nor your uncle. Your uncle is so smart, how come you two are so stupid?"
"Your uncle is asking you, has your father truly lost his talent?"
The eldest and second eldest Xie brothers understood somewhat.
"Uncle, are you suggesting we brothers trap my father?"
Old Master Tian glared at Xie the eldest. “How can this be called a trap? This is called not making things difficult for your father, but also repaying the kindness of His Majesty, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess.”
"Given your father's personality, even if he came back, he would never work in the new dynasty's government office."
"But His Majesty, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess are so good to you and so generous to him. How could he not be moved at all? His heart isn't made of stone."
The eldest and second eldest Xie understood. On the surface, their uncle wanted them to follow in their father's footsteps, but in reality, he wanted their father to use them to serve the new dynasty.
"Uncle, you're the best."
Old Master Tian puffed out his chest proudly. "Of course, I'm your maternal uncle. If you can't do anything after you enter the government office, just ask your father. Whether you get promoted or not depends on your father. You'd better keep your father happy, because if he doesn't help you, you'll only be able to go to the Ministry of Agriculture to farm."
Xie Laoda and Xie Laoer: "Uncle, don't worry, we brothers will definitely appease our father."
After learning of Xie Laoda and Xie Laoer's decision, Sisi rewarded them with two more truckloads of goods.
The eldest and second eldest brothers admired their uncle to the extreme.
"Uncle, if I ever need anything in the future, I'll come to you for advice."
“Uncle, the Crown Princess has bestowed many gifts upon us again. We thought these few items would suit you well, so we brought them to you.”
"Hahahaha..." Old Master Tian laughed so hard his eyes disappeared. "I never thought I'd be able to use something bestowed upon me by the Crown Princess in my lifetime. My life has truly been worthwhile."
Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the past month, Gou Dan has gained an in-depth understanding of the lives of farmers.
Gou Dan was squatting on the edge of the field chatting with an old farmer about crops when Wei Cheng'er suddenly ran over from a distance. "Brother Gou Dan, Brother Gou Dan, Grandpa Xie is going to beat you up."
Gou Dan laughed as soon as he heard that. After Grandma Tian left with her children and grandchildren, Grandpa Xie wanted to beat him up every day.
Just as Gou Dan finished thinking, he saw Xie Fugui carrying a stick, stomping angrily towards him. As he walked, he shouted, "Yun Gou Dan, I'm going to beat you up today! Yun Gou Dan, if I don't beat you up today, I'll change my surname to yours!"
Is it that serious? What happened to Grandpa Xie?
Gou Dan picked up Wei Cheng'er and ran.
A wise man doesn't suffer a loss he can avoid.
Gou Dan called out, "Grandpa Xie, calm down, anger is bad for your health. Grandpa Xie, watch your step. Grandpa Xie, you are a gentleman, a gentleman uses words, not fists. Grandpa Xie, are you tired? If you are tired, please take a rest."
Xie Fugui wasn't tired at all. "Yun Gou Dan, you stop right there, I'm going to beat you up today."
His brother-in-law actually wants to marry his wife off to someone else!
His wife actually said that his sons were all grown up and had proper jobs, so she had to think about herself too!
