The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 88
"It actually doesn't cost that much to build a yard. With what I have on hand, I plan to buy another shop or go to the capital to buy one, but that will have to wait."

Grandpa also has his own plan to save some family property for his children and grandchildren. The children have all gone to the capital to become officials, and this property must also be spread.

"Buy the property here first, it's considered ancestral property. Besides, Brother Jing is the boss. He has to keep the property and we can't lose money to him."

Xiu Niang smiled and gave her own advice.

"Okay, let's buy the one here first. Now it's in Brother Jing's name. Can Brother Mao handle it?"

"Listen to you."

"Also, someone told Brother Jing about his family, and I want to discuss it with you."

"Whose girl?"

"It was introduced by your sister-in-law from her natal family. She is a girl from his family, the Sun family. The Sun family is also a wealthy family in the provincial capital. It is much better than ours. His eldest son is from the county. "Ling, it's a great achievement for my youngest son to also study. I see that I'm not aggrieved by Brother Jing. Girls from a wealthy family are literate and understand the rules. The girls in his family have learned to read in the family since they were young, and they are no worse than ours."

Mrs. Zhou's natal sister-in-law is from a well-known and wealthy family in the city. Marriage with her brother is considered a marriage. The main consideration is that her natal clan is upright and knows the rules.

There is a general direction in the matter of marriage, which is that the family must be upright and upright in character and family style, and the boys and girls raised must be polite and well-behaved, and they will not go wrong in important matters.

Then we look at the small things, whether the family background, conduct, parents-in-law's conduct, etc. are compatible.

"My sister-in-law introduced you?"

"Your parents asked me to make peace when I went to the capital. I just told you the specific news. The man who ordered the drinks last time was the Sun girl's father. He came to see Brother Jing personally."

"Oh, he's about the same age as my father-in-law, the one in the blue robe, right?"

Xiu Niang remembered who it was.

"Yes, that's him. Does it suit you, Xiu'er?"

Grandpa now asks for her opinion no matter what happens at home.

"I heard that the Sun family has a very strict family tradition. There are many officials in his family, and the girls and boys are all well-educated. How many people are asking for marriage? Can I meet the mother and daughter?"

After hearing this, Xiuniang searched her memory and heard her sister-in-law talking about the gossip about the Sun family.

"You said you sent us a message years ago to visit, will you go?"

"Xiu'er, come with me, otherwise I'm afraid of making a joke."

The sister-in-law hurriedly tugged on her sleeves. She had never seen a big scene before, so she was afraid of showing her timidity. Rich families have many rules.

"Okay, mother, can I go out as a widow? Isn't it taboo?"

"You have to write a reply in advance. Please make a few strokes on the letter. If you can go, we won't be able to handle it if you don't go."

The mother-in-law shook her head, we don’t understand the rules of a wealthy family either.

"Okay, then I'll go."

Xiu Niang feels sorry for Brother Jing who has sacrificed a lot for the family. She must marry him a good wife this time. Only in the future can the eldest brother and sister-in-law be able to control the brothers below and protect the family.

"I'll go take a look and get you a good wife. When you get your wife in, I won't have to worry about Brother Qun and Brother Chun."

Xiuniang looked at Brother Jing and smiled, with infinite hope in her eyes.

"Auntie, I've made you tired."

Li Jing stood up and bowed.

"Good boy, don't worry. I'll take care of everything for you. Your share is indispensable. I'll remember it in my heart."

Xiuniang has repeatedly promised Li Jing that she will not lose your money.Li Jing's eyes were red and he nodded vigorously.

Having said this, everyone is looking forward to it.

The weather gradually got colder, and the Sun family's post also came. The Li family replied, telling the truth that they would bring Xiuniang with them. The other manager happily agreed, and had no other taboos, and did not exclude widows from visiting.

Uncle Li led the villagers to dig ditches, build thatched houses, lay traps and other tasks. They had to finish these tasks before the freezing weather. The whole village, young and old, was busy, and they were not idle in winter.

It was a good day. My mother-in-law, sister-in-law and Xiuniang took Li Jing and Qing'er to visit Sun's house. They sent a message to invite them to play, and specifically said to bring girls. We like girls who are like flowers.

Qing'er was wearing a light blue silk dress, which was new. She only wore a jade hairpin, a pair of silver earrings, and not many jewelry. Now she can dress herself up and knows what jewelry to wear for different occasions.

"Qing'er, do you know your mission today?"

"I know, let's see if Sister Sun understands the rules and is a girl with ideas. Our family is marrying a sister-in-law. Her temper should not be too soft. She must be a little rigid and proud. She must be dignified. The housekeeper and director must be able to win the middle prize. Come down, otherwise you won’t be able to suppress the second and third sisters-in-law in the future.”

Qing'er shook her head and spoke eloquently, taking into account the future situation in advance.

"Well, I went to be smarter."

Xiu Niang closed her eyes slightly and fell asleep.

"Look at me."

The eldest sister-in-law looked at her mother-in-law and said nothing. She felt that her daughter had changed. She looked like a girl from a wealthy family. She didn't understand many things, but Xiu'er and her daughter understood that there was such a big difference between reading and not reading.

"She won't mess it up."

The eldest sister-in-law is still a little worried, and she has high expectations for this marriage.

He knew in his heart that Brother Rui, the second brother, would definitely marry the daughter of a wealthy family in the future. He might stay in the capital like his brother-in-law, and he would still have to rely on his elder brother for support in his old age.

I feel sorry for the boss. The family conditions were not good back then and the boss was not very talented in reading, so he voluntarily quit to support his brother-in-law and brothers. In fact, he sacrificed a lot.

Now she saw that her younger brothers also had fame, but he did not. The gap in the future was getting wider and wider. She understood that the tavern was compensated by her younger siblings to the boss.

What can a mother do? The palms and backs of her hands are full of flesh. She also took advantage of her younger siblings. It was her younger siblings who donated money and contributed their own money to raise her three children. Qing'er spent the most money, all of which were contributed by her younger siblings. All for the sake of the children.

"No, you have to believe in your daughter. Don't be afraid. If the sky falls, I will still be there. If there are difficulties, we will work together. I will not leave you alone."

Xiuniang opened her eyes and smiled at her sister-in-law.

The elder sister-in-law leaned on her shoulder and laughed, "I feel like you are my younger sister-in-law. I always take advantage of you and you take care of me. How lucky I must be to have you as a good sibling. God loves me so much." "

"You are a fool and you are lucky."

The mother-in-law pouted, making the two daughters-in-law laugh together.

"Mom, you have good taste and have married two good wives."

Xiu Niang hugged her mother-in-law's shoulders and laughed.

Her love for worrying is somewhat hegemonic, and my sister-in-law doesn't feel much about it.

The elder sister-in-law is an honest and generous person, with a decent moral character and a bottom line in doing things. She is also very tolerant of her quarrelsome behavior. She never fights with her, gives in everywhere, and does not care about others laughing at her for not being like an elder sister-in-law. She always lets her younger siblings make decisions. Don't mind this.I also told people that I took advantage. It was my younger siblings who took care of me, helped me make money, and helped me raise my children. I couldn’t even thank them enough. I took advantage and couldn’t spit on others anymore. What kind of person would I become?

Their characters are different and their choices are very different, so their temperaments can get along well.

"You two are indeed my greatest pride. The advantage of choosing a good wife is that I don't have to worry about it at all. We, the three of us, work together, and we are not afraid of huge difficulties. We can overcome them."

My mother-in-law is very proud of this. My family is living well because I have a good daughter-in-law. No matter how difficult the family is, I don’t have to worry. My daughter-in-law can keep the family together.
