Aunt Qin's brain didn't react at first. She looked at Mrs. Lu, and there was only one thought in her mind: what was her mother talking about?
In Mrs. Lu's opinion, the expression of the daughter-in-law was touching. She thought, the daughter-in-law cared about her grandson, so this idea was naturally very good. If someone said something good about Niu Dan in Qin Fang's ear, wouldn't Niu Dan take advantage of it? So Mrs. Lu continued: "Look, what is your niece like? Although she is only fifteen, she is so beautiful. She is also a flower in our village." Mrs. Lu was not bragging, her granddaughter was indeed good-looking.
Finally, Aunt Qin came to her senses. She opened her eyes wide and said, "Mother, what do you mean? Fang has already married."
Mrs. Lu said, "So what? How can a domestic flower be as fragrant as a wild flower?"
Aunt Qin understood what she meant, "You want my eldest daughter to be Fang's concubine?" Oh my God, what was her mother thinking? A good granddaughter was going to be a concubine? Does their family still have any shame?
Mrs. Lu glanced at her and said, "What's the big deal? Which high official doesn't have a concubine? It's better to be a concubine of a powerful family than to be a daughter of a poor family in our family. Besides, you watched Qin Fang grow up. If you say a few words to Qin Fang, will he treat my eldest sister badly?"
Aunt Qin looked at her mother who was full of confidence in her niece and found it hard to imagine that if she said this, she suspected that the Qin family would beat her to death. And what about the eldest sister's appearance? Okay, if this happened in the countryside, her niece was indeed good-looking, but: "Mom, You haven't seen Afang's wife. If you have seen her, you will know that compared with her, my elder sister is just a morning glory on the mountain, while she... is a rich flower in a wealthy family. "When
Mrs. Lu heard this, she immediately patted Aunt Qin on the back and said, "You silly girl, how can you say that about your own niece?"
Aunt Qin didn't care, "I have always been fair in what I say. I am helping the right people, not the relatives. Don't think about it. Although I am not smart, I am not stupid. Afang's wife is not a simple person. When she came back, she After taking Shoucheng and Si Ya away, my eldest sister-in-law now protects her like her own daughter.
Besides, my relationship with my eldest sister-in-law is not very good. Even if Afang wants to take a concubine, he will not take my niece. What's more, Afang's wife is educated and can read. The reason why Afang has made great contributions and became a general is because his wife taught him to read and write. Our old man can say that Afang's wife is a great contributor to the Qin family.
Moreover, if my niece is a concubine of my nephew, I will lose all my face. "
Lu said . Now she understood what Aunt Qin meant, and she suddenly became unhappy: "You heartless thing, you have already married into the Qin family, and you are not willing to help your mother's family when you have the opportunity. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
Aunt Qin snorted: "I helped my mother's family. You have to go to court yourself. Mother, don't talk about being filial or unfilial. You are not as important as yourself. I'm not that stupid to expect my niece to be my concubine. In my mind, Niu Dan is the most important, and I think clearly. Bai, I don't expect Afang to treat Niu Dan as well as Shoucheng Shouye, but I also know that Afang has a conscience. He has become successful today and can take out 100 taels of silver to buy ten acres of prime land for our family. This is enough to prove it, so he will not ignore Niu Dan.
I don't want Niu Dan to be very successful, as long as it is better than farming. If Niu Dan is really incompetent, ten acres of prime land at home will make him a rich man. "
Mrs. Lu: "You...you..." She was so angry that she couldn't swallow it. This heartless lady is really heartless. But Mrs. Lu knew her selfishness. This lady is smart. Sometimes she is stupid, sometimes she is smart. She likes to take advantage of small things, but she doesn't care if she can't get them.
Aunt Qin said again: "Mother, don't think about this or that. I am still filial to you. You see, we have a buffet at home, and I called you here. This is a chance to eat meat. If I am not filial, why would I call you here?" It
would be fine if she didn't say this, but when she said this, Lu was so angry. "I have raised you in vain."
Aunt Qin smiled: "Mother, I am living a good life as your daughter, and you also have face. In the future, when Niu Dan has a promising future, you as a grandmother will also have face. If it really doesn't work, when Niu Dan has a promising future, you can ask your niece to be Niu Dan's concubine."
Lu: "..." She was dumbfounded by this unfilial talk. How can a concubine be like this? How promising does she think Niu Dan is? Pah.
The two chatted for a long time. Mrs. Lu wanted to say something, but Aunt Qin was impatient. She pushed the door open and went out. She still had to listen to how her mother-in-law arranged the salary. Compared with her mother's family, her own family was not as important. Aunt Qin knew one thing from childhood: if you can take advantage of something, you are a fool. If you can't take advantage of something, you are also a fool if you force it. She followed this principle all the way.
Mrs. Lu had no choice but to follow her daughter out.
As soon as the two of them went out, Uncle Qin came over. When he saw Aunt Qin, he asked, "Where have you been? You disappeared when I turned around."
Aunt Qin said, "When my mother was helping to burn firewood just now, a bug got into her clothes, and I went to catch it for her." Uncle Qin
was stunned and looked at Lu. He didn't even notice whether his mother-in-law was burning firewood just now.
Seeing that her daughter said this, what else could Lu do? She had to smile awkwardly at her son-in-law. Although Lu had selfish motives, her daughter refused. As a mother, she couldn't send her granddaughter to the Qin family herself, right? Wait... If she can't come to the Qin family as a concubine, what about being the main wife? Doesn't the eldest son of the Qin family have a son who is about to be married? That's Qin Fang's biological brother. Thinking of this, Lu Shi started to think again. She pulled Aunt Qin: "My dear, my back is itchy again. You didn't clean it up when you were looking for bugs just now. Find it for me again." Then, she pulled Aunt Qin into the house again.
Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin: "..."
Aunt Qin, who was pulled into the house, was also a little angry. She had made it clear to her mother that this matter would not work. If her mother continued to pester her, don't blame her for being merciless.
When Mrs. Lu saw her daughter's irritable look, she hurriedly said, "You're not going to be a concubine this time."
Aunt Qin: "? Then you want to be the principal wife? The marriage of Afang and his wife was also arranged by the court. If you disobey the order, you will be beheaded. So our family cannot divorce Afang's wife."
Mrs. Lu hurriedly explained, "No, no, she is the principal wife, but not Qin Fang's principal wife. She is Qin Fang's younger brother, your eldest sister-in-law's second son, the one named Shouye. What do you think of my eldest sister and Shouye? They are about the same age, they can be a match, right?"
Aunt Qin reached out and touched her mother's forehead.
Mrs. Lu pushed her hand away: "What are you doing?"
Aunt Qin said: "I want to see if you are sick with fever in your head. You can think of such a ridiculous thing."
Mrs. Lu said angrily: "Why am I sick with fever in my head? Why is this ridiculous? Dajieer and Shouye are about the same age, why can't she marry Shouye? Besides, they are both your nephews and nieces, and they are quite a match. It will also be good for you as his aunt if Dajieer becomes Shouye's daughter-in-law."
Aunt Qin wouldn't listen to her: "Mother, don't have any ideas about the Qin family. I'll tell you the truth, my sister-in-law wants to say good things about Shouye, and they plan to go to Afang and ask Afang's wife to introduce him, so my eldest sister has no chance. Besides, Shouye's eldest brother is a general, and my eldest sister-in-law is now an imperial edict. Our Qin family has changed its status. How can my eldest sister, who comes from a farming family, be worthy of Shouye? Let alone Shouye, even our Niudan is not worthy of my eldest sister. Mother, it's not that I look down on my eldest sister or my family. I'm just lucky and was born early. If I was born later, and my head of the family hasn't gotten married yet, I wouldn't be worthy of him."
"You...you unfilial daughter, you're going to piss me off to death." Mrs. Lu really wanted to curse. If it really wasn't the Qin family, Lu was afraid that she would be embarrassed if she spoke too loudly.
Aunt Qin didn't think she was wrong at all. She said, "Mother, don't worry about it. What I said makes sense, and you don't have to worry. Our Qin family is well-off. I am your daughter after all. How can I not respect you?" Of course, it is impossible to empty the small house to respect her mother's family, but she still has the most basic filial piety. For example, during the New Year and other festivals, she bought some food and clothes for her mother, and gave her a hundred coins for pocket money. Aunt Qin thought she was willing to do so. After all, she was a person with ten acres of first-class land.
The mother and daughter didn't get along, so the second conversation ended unpleasantly again. Mrs. Lu didn't want to stay in the Qin family anymore, and she left with her family in a huff. Aunt Qin sent them to the door heartlessly, and didn't forget to say, "Mother, our ten acres of land will be renovated in a few days. Please ask father and brothers to help."
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she stumbled and almost fell, but she still replied, "I know." I don't know what to do? Her daughter married into the Qin family. The Qin family has a promising future, which means that the daughter's status is also different. For such a daughter, she can only serve her in a good voice. Otherwise, she thinks that this unfilial daughter is really capable of not returning to her parents' home.
Aunt Qin sent her old mother away, and she thought of her mother-in-law's monthly salary of four taels of silver. She didn't know that the same thing was happening in the big house.
Qin's mother has an older brother and two younger brothers. As the only daughter in the family, she is still relatively spoiled in her natal family, which can be seen from her somewhat straightforward and hot-tempered personality. Qin's mother is a person who loves to laugh, but at this moment, she really can't laugh: "Third sister-in-law, what did you say?"
