Chapter 279 Adding another 20%
Wang Dahu's expression became increasingly grim: "Mingzhu, don't you want me to take care of you?"
Ye Mingzhu quickly waved her hands: "Uncle, that's not what I meant. I meant that Yun An and I are already grown up, and you're getting married next year. We can take care of ourselves."
Wang Dahu's face had completely darkened. "Mingzhu, even if your uncle gets married, he's still your uncle. I will never stop taking care of you just because I have my own children in the future."
"I'll go with you to look at houses today. If you find something suitable, we'll buy it." Wang Dahu said with a sullen face, "This way you'll believe I'm sincere, right?"
Ye Mingzhu was a little amused and said, "Uncle, that's not what I meant. I just think we are all adults now and don't need you to take care of us like children. It's not that I don't trust you."
Ye Mingzhu had to persuade Wang Dahu with all her might to convince him that she was not estranged from him.
Wang Dahu really has something to do tomorrow. He has made up his mind to finish his work early so that he can go and accompany his niece to buy a house.
"Mingzhu, go to bed early today. I'll come find you tomorrow after I'm done with my work."
Ye Mingzhu blinked, not understanding why Wang Dahu was so persistent in taking care of her and her brother.
In the original owner's memory, Wang Dahu was good to her and her brother, but he was no different from other uncles who loved their nephews.
What she didn't know was that Wang Dahu was kind to them not only because they were his only relatives, but also because the fabrics and boxes Ye Mingzhu gave him brought him a lot of benefits.
Wang Dahu was valued by his future father-in-law, who found a way to ask for mercy for him so that he could redeem himself without having to wait for marriage. He also made a lot of money from selling those things, and it was all in his hands.
Ye Mingzhu had been here for half a day and had not asked about the money. He felt that Ye Mingzhu trusted him and wanted to be good to her and her sister.
Some people, when they receive a favor, they want to return two favors to the other party. Only such a relationship can last. After all, no one likes to be calculated against.
Wang Dahu and Ye Mingzhu are both such people.
Wang Dahu asked someone to notify the kitchen to prepare dinner quickly and go to bed early after dinner.
Although Ye Mingzhu said that Jiang Yue didn't need to accompany her shopping tomorrow, Wang Dahu still informed Jiang Yue that Ye Mingzhu had arrived.
In the Jiang family's large courtyard, Jiang Yue was embroidering. When she heard this, she was not surprised at all. She put down the embroidery frame in her hand and went to find a small box she had prepared in advance, which contained things for Ye Mingzhu and her brother.
She took the small box to her parents' room.
"Mom, this is what I prepared for Ye Mingzhu and her brother. Please send someone to deliver it to them tomorrow."
Jiang Lishi didn't ask what was inside, and asked the maid to put it away: "Send it over tomorrow morning."
The maid beside her took the box away and did not come in again.
"Xiao Yue, don't think it's bad to have two more nephews. Da Hu's family only has these two relatives left. As long as you treat these two children well, Da Hu will definitely not treat you badly in the future."
Jiang Li gently persuaded her daughter.
"Mom, I know," Jiang Yue nodded. "Da Hu told me that the two of them won't live here permanently. They'll just come over occasionally for a few days. If they're sensible, I'll love them as much as I can. If not, I'll keep them away."
"My son, it's good that you understand this. Mother was unlucky to have only you as her child. If you had a brother, your parents would have chosen a better one for you."
"Fortunately, Dahu has redeemed herself. With our help, she can become a wealthy wife in the future."
"We have a small family. If these two children are good, they will be a help to you when you have children in the future."
Jiang Yue listened patiently to Jiang Li's words, and waited until she finished before replying, "Mom, I understand. Brother Dahu is a good person. You don't need to say that you should choose a better person in the future."
Jiang Li was afraid that she would be unhappy, so she nodded repeatedly: "Okay, mother won't say anything more, you two will live well from now on."
"Mom, Brother Dahu and I have agreed that our second child will have the surname Jiang." Jiang Yue suddenly spoke.
"What?" Jiang Li stood up and exclaimed, "Xiao Yue, are you telling the truth?"
"It's true." Jiang Yue felt sad. She stood up and helped Jiang Li sit down. "But we can't guarantee that the second child will be a boy."
"Girls are fine, girls are fine too." Jiang Li said repeatedly.
"Someone, go and call the master back and tell him that I have something to do." Jiang Li shouted loudly outside.
The maid who had just gone out had been waiting at the door. When she heard the shout, she immediately came in, bowed, and hurried out to call for help.
Jiang Yue looked at her mother's excited expression and did not stop her. She had known her mother's knot since she was a child. Because she had no son, her mother always felt sorry for her father, especially since her father was now the steward and could easily take a concubine.
She originally had the opportunity to become the concubine of the second young master of the master's family, but she gave it up.
Even if she gave birth to a son or daughter in the future, became a half-master, and enjoyed wealth and glory, what about her parents?
It would be better to choose Wang Dahu, who was also a servant. He was born into a farming family and had no roots among servants. In this way, she could suggest that the second child take the father's surname.
Over the years, her figure and temperament have become even better than that of a beautiful girl from a small family. No one would refuse her unless they were a fool.
Sure enough, just as she thought, Wang Dahu agreed to her request.
The most important thing is that Wang Dahu has no family left, so he can only treat her parents as his own parents and be filial to them.
Although two nephews and nieces appeared, they lived far away from each other, so I just needed to give them some money occasionally to take care of them.
It would be even better if they were promising, and it would also be nice if her children had two promising cousins.
While Jiang Yue was thinking about things here, Jiang Li was already planning what to prepare for her future grandchildren.
When Manager Jiang hurried home, he saw his daughter sitting there in a daze and his old wife chattering with a smile on her face.
"What's going on?"
"Master, master, Xiaoyue said that Dahu agreed to adopt the second child to us. His surname will be Jiang. We will have a grandson." Jiang Li's voice was shaking with excitement.
Shopkeeper Jiang was both surprised and delighted. No matter how calm he was, his words were filled with urgency: "Xiao Yue, are you serious?"
"It's true. Brother Dahu and I have already discussed it, but we haven't had the chance to tell my parents." Jiang Yue felt sad. She knew that her parents felt regretful for not having a son, but her father didn't want to take a concubine and didn't agree with her to marry into the family.
"Da Hu, Da Hu didn't tell me about this." Shopkeeper Jiang tried his best to control his excitement. "The dowry we prepared for you is not enough. We should buy another shop, no, a farm."
Because he has no son, Manager Jiang has not valued money over the years. He is now full of regret. If he had known that he would have a grandson, he would have worked hard to earn more money.
"Da Hu has been so good to you, we have to repay you a little. I said before that I would give a dowry to Da Hu's niece, and I will add another 10%, no, 20% later."
