Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 451

The women were complaining about other women, and the men had almost finished drinking.

Sun Donghai stood up with a red face and said to Jiang Zhong: "This room is full of scholars, and you are the only businessman. But don't be afraid. In the future, send your child to our home and we will teach you. We will definitely be able to raise a top scholar. In the future, your Jiang family will be able to change its face and bring honor to the ancestors."

Speaking of bringing honor to the family, Jiang Zhong's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly raised his glass to toast the three people: "Of course, I can't count on my daughter now. I must give birth to a son in the future. No, give birth to more sons. Maybe one of them will be promising, and our Jiang family will really be able to stand out."

Xiao Chenyu smiled and shook his head, ignoring the drunken words.

On the contrary, although Qin Yaozu sat quietly, his eyes were a little cold.

He was dissatisfied with his sister's fiancé, but since they had little contact with him, he was not very opposed to it.

Qin Yaozu didn't care about his identity as a businessman, but was somewhat dissatisfied with his words and actions.

Listen, what are these words?

What does it mean to give birth to more sons? What if Qin Yao can't give birth to a son? Is it possible to divorce her or take a concubine?
Although Qin Yaozu had taken a concubine, to be honest, he was not obsessed with women, and the concubine at that time was not beautiful. Later, when the concubine asked to leave, he was relieved. When he heard that Liu had given her a large sum of money, he was even more grateful to Liu. He treated Liu wholeheartedly and no longer thought about other women.

However, Sun Donghai felt that she was right: "You are absolutely right. Daughters will eventually get married, and we still need to give birth to more sons. If the wife cannot give birth, let the concubine give birth."

Qin Yaozu put his chopsticks on the table, stood up and said, "I'm going to go see my mother, you guys can do whatever you want!"

He went out and asked where his wife was.

The servant said that the mistress and two aunts went to the mistress's room.

Qin Yaozu couldn't go back to the house to find Liu, so he went to his mother.

Under the wisteria trellis in the yard, Qin Yao was sitting in a rocking chair reading a book, with a maid fanning her beside her. On the low table beside her were fruits and tea cups, and incense was burning to repel mosquitoes.

The little maid saw Qin Yaozu standing at the door and hurriedly pushed Qin Yao.

I raised my head and saw Qin Yaozu looking at me quietly with a complicated look, which seemed to show some compassion and pity.

"Brother, why are you here?" Qin Yao ignored the complex emotions in her brother's eyes and quickly stood up and asked.

Qin Yaozu retracted his gaze and walked over, smiling at his sister: "Are you bored staying in this yard every day?"

"Life is so leisurely and comfortable nowadays, how can I feel bored?" Qin Yao pursed her lips and smiled. She was not so cold in front of her brother anymore.

"Where's mother?"

"Mother was happy, so she drank two more cups and is still sleeping now!" Qin Yao pointed to the chair and asked her brother to sit down.

At this time, the maid also brought an embroidered stool. Qin Yao sat on the embroidered stool, and Qin Yaozu sat on the rocking chair.

"Do you want to marry Jiang Zhong?" Qin Yaozu was not good at beating around the bush. As soon as he sat down, he asked a question that surprised Qin Yao.

Qin Yao was stunned for a moment, not knowing what her brother meant.
"This matter was decided by my mother. It doesn't matter whether I think about it or not." Qin Yao lowered her eyes and hid her thoughts under her long eyelashes. Qin Yaozu rarely observed his sister so confidently in the past, and he even rarely had time to talk to his sister alone.

He is a traditional man who has been educated in Confucianism. In his mind, the affairs of the house must be decided by his mother and wife, while men need to strive for fame and fortune outside, and it is his responsibility to ensure that his family can sleep peacefully.

But at this moment, he suddenly understood a truth. If his mother was ignorant, his wife, as a junior, could not change his mother's decision, and he, as the head of the family, could not simply put the blame on his mother and wife.

"If you don't want to get married, then don't get married. Your brother's home will always be your home. When you are old, your nephew will also take care of you."

Qin Yao suddenly raised her head and looked at her brother in disbelief: "Why did my brother suddenly say such a thing? If mother heard this, she would be angry, and..."

"And what?" Seeing her suddenly stop biting her lower lip, Qin Yaozu asked with some dissatisfaction. He thought: If it were Qin Cui, she would definitely not be so shy. If she didn't want to, she would definitely make a big fuss, even if it meant hurting a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of her own.

To be honest, even Qin Shao had a lot of calculations and plans, but this biological sister, why is she so weak and arrogant?

Qin Yao knew that her brother didn't like her like this, so she didn't dare to hide it any further. She lowered her voice and said, "Every time my brother said something to mother that made her unhappy, mother would vent her anger on my sister-in-law. If you tell her that I can stay single, mother will definitely say that my sister-in-law was behind it and told you to say that."

Qin Yaozu knew that it was difficult for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along, but he always thought that his family was very good.

Liu was an intelligent woman. She was well-educated and well-mannered, and she was filial and caring for her mother very wholeheartedly. He had never thought that his wife might have suffered a lot of pain and grievances without his knowledge.

He wiped his face, feeling a little dizzy from the wine he had just drunk. "I don't think Jiang Zhong is a good match. You've already been married once. If you want to marry again, you must find a good family. With your character and morals, you won't have trouble finding a family that treats you well."

"Brother." Qin Yao called him brother and burst into tears: "I always thought that brother liked Qin Su but not me. I didn't expect that it was me who was narrow-minded and hurt brother's heart."

Qin Yaozu was indeed more serious when speaking to Qin Su, and he indeed seldom spoke to Qin Yao. Come to think of it, Qin Yao couldn't be blamed for thinking so.

"Nothing. If you have any problems in the future, just tell your brother directly. If it's not easy to tell me, tell your sister-in-law and ask her to help you or tell me."

It was the first time that the siblings expressed their feelings openly to each other. Even though they didn't have a long chat, they were still quite touched and moved.

An old woman came hurriedly, stood at the door and looked into the yard. Seeing Qin Yao and Qin Yaozu talking, she looked anxious but did not go in.

Qin Yaozu understood, stood up and said goodbye to Qin Yao, then walked out. The old woman hurriedly said, "Sir, go to the dining room and take a look. I don't know when Master Sun sent someone to invite a singer. Now he's already in the dining room, playing the piano and singing."

Although Qin Yaozu didn't like these, he didn't feel disgusted. He frowned and said, "Today is grandson's big day. If he wants to be happy, there's no need to stop him. However, you go and tell the madam to tell them not to go to the dining room."

The old woman took the order and left in a hurry. Qin Yaozu thought about it and walked towards the dining room.

Qin Shao was drunk, so Qin Sui and Liu helped her to rest on the beauty couch beside her for a while.

Just as she settled down, she heard the maid say that Sun Donghai had invited singers, and mentioned what Qin Yaozu said. Liu cursed angrily, but didn't say anything more. She just told the maid to keep an eye on them and not let them do anything excessive.

Qin Sui called out to the old woman, "Where are those people singing? How many of them are here?"

"Four women have come, all of them are beauties. But I don't know where they are from, I'll go and ask later." After the old woman said this, she saw that the two men stopped asking questions and hurried to the dining room.
