"It won't work."
Huang Wanzhen quickly expressed her stance, "I am willing to help Big Sister and help our Huang family continue its lineage. As long as I marry into the Zheng family, I will have the status to compete with the Huang family elders."
Huang Shuhuai suddenly looked up at her, "You? Is this your idea, or your mother's?"
Before Huang Wanzhen could express her opinion, Mrs. Huang Dong spoke first: "That's what I mean!"
"I don't believe the Huang family will worship me in the future. I want my own grandson."
Huang Wanzhen immediately expressed her opinion, "That's what I meant. I won't help the adopted children of the Huang family. I will only help the ones born from my sister's belly."
If adoption was a good idea, the Huang family in the original book would not be so miserable.
Huang Shuhuai: "This is a big deal. I need to think about it."
Huang Dongshi: "Well, then, father asked us to come here today, is there something wrong?"
Huang Shuhuai originally wanted Huang Dongshi and Huang Wanzhen to leave first.
But after thinking about it, no matter which granddaughter was chosen to marry into the Zheng family, Huang Dong would have to take care of it, and there was no way to bypass her.
He sighed helplessly and said, "Yesterday, someone from the Zheng family came and asked when the girl's horoscope could be sent over. They wanted to ask a master to calculate it."
"I think this matter can't be delayed. If it's delayed, something might happen. It's better to settle it as soon as possible."
Huang Dongshi nodded seriously, "I'll listen to Dad."
Huang Shuhuai glanced at her sideways and felt that he had misjudged her in the past. He always thought she was an honest person, but he didn't expect that she was a person with her own ideas.
"Let's wait for Wanshu and Wanqiong to come over before deciding."
Huang Dongshi: "Since ancient times, marriage has always been a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words."
"Zhengming and I are still alive, so we naturally didn't ask them about their reasons."
"If my father-in-law asks me, Wanzhen is the most suitable."
Huang Shuhuai: "Wanzhen is impulsive and not as chaste as Wanshu. I think Wanshu is more suitable."
Mrs. Huang rolled her eyes, thinking that since both were her daughters, it didn't matter which one she chose to marry. Just as she was about to nod in agreement, Huang Wanzhen spoke up, "I don't agree."
"I'm afraid of pain. I don't want to have so many children."
"Besides, my sister's personality is chaste if you put it nicely, and weak if you put it bluntly."
"She married into the Zheng family, and had to serve her parents-in-law and manage the household chores. How could she spare the time to help our Huang family?"
"Mother, let me ask you, Grandfather and Father are trying to stop you from giving money and help to the Dong family. Do you dare to resist them?"
Mrs. Huang Dong: "This... As the daughter-in-law of the Huang family, I naturally have to put the Huang family first."
Huang Wanzhen: "I dare. I have a strong personality and I won't be suppressed by the Zheng family so easily. They don't let me go back to my parents' home, but I want to go back. They don't let me help the Huang family, but I want to help."
"Grandfather, do you think the Huang family will benefit most from marrying me or my eldest sister?"
Huang Shuhuai thought about it and it made sense. Such a good-tempered girl should be left to his own family. Let this troublemaker harm the Zheng family. Maybe in the future the Huang family will be able to suppress the Zheng family again.
While Huang Shuhuai was thinking, Huang Wanzhen grabbed Huang Dongshi's hand and said, "I'm still young, so it's not easy for me to have children. My sister is older than me and can have children soon."
"Mom, time waits for no one. The sooner the grandson comes, the more help the elders can get. If it's too late, I'm afraid..."
Huang Dong suddenly realized, "That's right, that's right. While I can still take care of them, I can raise a few more children for your sister. I won't be able to take care of them anymore."
Huang Wanzhen: "We still have grandfather's strength. If a boy comes earlier, grandfather can teach him for a few more years. My grandfather is the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Public Administration. How can an ordinary teacher compare to him?"
Huang Dongshi nodded, "Yes, yes, yes."
Huang Shuhuai nodded, "You are right."
"As for the matter of marrying in, we still need to consider it carefully."
Huang Wanzhen: "Don't think about it. If you think about it again, the grandsons of the Zheng family have become high officials. Wouldn't the descendants of our Huang family be one step behind the Zheng family?"
Huang Shuhuai: "This..."
"We need to inform the tribesmen in advance and select the people carefully."
Huang Wanzhen: "Grandfather, didn't you say that the elders wouldn't agree easily? If we start wrangling for a few years, they'll have children and grandchildren, but we in the Huang family will be left with no one. Wouldn't that delay things?"
Huang Shuhuai: "You have to choose carefully, right? Pick someone smart."
Huang Wanzhen: "That's enough. Our Huang family is a family of scholars. How bad can my sister's child be?"
"The most important thing now is to have a boy and protect our house."
Huang Dongshi: "Yes, yes, sir, raising a grandson is a serious matter."
Huang Shuhuai shook his head. "It's impossible to find a suitable one in such a short time."
Huang Wanzhen took Huang Dongshi's hand and said, "Grandfather, you just need to take care of yourself and wait to raise your great-grandson."
"Leave the rest to my mother. If she can't do it, I'll just ask you to come out and do it."
Huang Dongshi: "Yes, yes, leave it to me."
Huang Shuhuai was not a person who liked to worry about things. When he was young, he served as an official in various places. When he got older, he wanted to enjoy a peaceful life. If his son had not been so unprofessional, he would have taken his bird and gone out to find friends.
Unfortunately, with the Huang family in such a state, he was too embarrassed to go out and see people, so he could only hide in the mansion and live in poverty.
"Well, let's do this for now."
Huang Shuhuai made the final decision and the matter was settled.
By the time Huang Wanshu and Huang Wanqiong took the time and effort to dress up and arrived at Rongyangtang in their most beautiful appearance, Huang Wanzhen and Huang Dongshi had already left.
"Mom, aren't you going to feed my dad? Why are you following me?" Huang Wanzhen asked puzzledly.
Huang Dongshi: "With Shusheng and Xiuzhu, he won't starve."
"Take me to that hospital. I want to ask something."
Huang Wanzhen: "Is tomorrow okay? I have to go to class today, and it's already late at this hour."
Mrs. Huang Dong: "No, nothing is more important than your sister giving birth."
Huang Wanzhen's eyes rolled, and she coaxed him gently, "This hospital also has its strengths and weaknesses. We haven't been outside before, so we don't know which one is good. Why don't I ask the teacher today, and then take you there after I understand more?"
Mrs. Huang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's right. You better hurry up, the sooner the better. You also said that time waits for no one."
Huang Wanzhen: "Okay, I'll ask today. If everything goes well, I'll take you there tomorrow."
Huang Dongshi sent her out the door and watched her get on the rickshaw with her own eyes before turning around and returning home.
Chen Mansion, Daji Lane, Mule and Horse Street, West City.
After paying the fare, Huang Wanzhen got off the rickshaw.
Looking up, the courtyard gate adopts a five-purlin corridor design, and there are exquisite brick carvings on the gate wall, which symbolizes a prosperous career and a large family.
Looking down, there are two vermilion gates, with a stone lion sitting on each side, and a lion crown on the lion's head, which means everything will go well.
The main gate was closed, with only a small door opened on the east side, and a servant standing at the door.
