Looking at Gu Erzhu and Gu Wenxuan leaving together after talking, Zhou Banxia felt that she understood her father-in-law's good intentions better.

While the east wind suppresses the west wind, we cannot let the west wind suppress the east wind. Otherwise, no matter what, it is better to maintain the status quo.

As for the eldest daughter-in-law, she is outspoken and will be suppressed by the eldest son; as for her, the old daughter-in-law, the old son cannot suppress her, but she is virtuous and knows how to give in.

In this way, as long as the two independent-minded sons coax the daughter-in-law, everything will be happy for the family, and any signs of trouble can be eliminated in time.

My daughter-in-law is not easy to beat, but my son can still be violent when it is his turn. If I really can't bring myself to beat my son, I should be polite first and then attack. If you don't listen, I will beat you without any discussion.

Hey.

Zhou Banxia approached the window with secret joy.

On a summer night, the bright moon in the sky illuminated the Gu family's yard white. It was clearly visible that the mother-in-law also came out of the east wing opposite, the couple met, and the husband and wife went to enjoy the shade.

As a son, he is a little ignorant. He wants to join in the fun. Oh, no, he is not following him. He is sending his parents off respectfully and chatting with them in a brotherly manner.

Good son, good brother.

As for Gu Jiaxing, another book boy, he is the son of Gu Dachang.

Gu Wenxuan didn't care about this, as long as he promised that the family would not live separately and put his parents in a dilemma, he could move anytime.

Gu Erlang has no objection to his family of four living there with his parents when the time comes. He is just two brothers. How can the family live separately because it is his sister-in-law's dowry there?
If you have any scruples about this, you won't be able to wipe it off your face, but it will make you angry.

Regarding this issue, the brothers Gu Wenxuan and Gu Erlang mentioned at this moment that they estimate that the expansion of this house will not be possible until spring next year at the earliest.

As his eldest brother said, slow work makes the difference. If you want to renovate it, do it well. When you move in, there will be more people, and it will be inconvenient to change it again and again.

After leaving the window, he unpacked the box, put the account book on the kang, prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstones, sat cross-legged in front of the kang table, and quickly started doing the accounting.

There were stone tables and benches in the front yard. Zhi Ming cleverly asked his parents, Uncle Cai and Aunt Cai, to prepare a pot of iced fruit wine and snacks, while he put the cut watermelon on the stone table.

After being away for a while, Gu Wenxuan asked Jiaxing to help Gu Dayou in the workshop while staying there to reunite with his family for a few days.

It's not that the expansion issue wasn't taken into consideration, but because Ma Shan was pregnant and couldn't start construction, the backyard of the pastry workshop was still empty even after it was evacuated.

But forget about the Chinese New Year this year, we’ll wait until next year for the expansion here before moving there together.

In that room, Gu Wenxuan and Gu Erlang respectfully saw their parents out of the door and watched them leave for Patriarch Gu's house. The two brothers turned around and entered the outer study.

Yes.

Furthermore, Yu Cai's family of five and Fangmen's family of four already lived in the house. Plus the cook who came back with him, there were only a few houses in the front yard, so it was crowded on a hot day.

Not to mention the internal furnishings, even the trees and rocks in the courtyard cannot be arranged at once. Everyone has their own preferences, so there is no need to rush or rush for time.

When we talked about this, we couldn't help but talk about the manor at the foot of the mountain. Taking care of Wenxuan, it was natural to move there to celebrate the New Year. It happened that his sister-in-law had also finished her confinement.

There was even an ice tray in the inner courtyard. Even though the night was a little less hot, it was still a bit stuffy inside with the windows open for ventilation, so I simply left and sat in the front courtyard.

Just as he was talking, he mentioned that his wife wanted to hand over the business of making preserved eggs to his elder sister-in-law. Unsurprisingly, his elder brother vetoed the idea.

In terms of eloquence, he can't compare to his elder brother, unless his wife comes, but in action, his elder brother is definitely no match for him.

If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. Do you still want to beat him up?
Sitting on the stone bench, Gu Wenxuan moved sideways to avoid Gu Erlang's second fist, then turned around, picked up a piece of watermelon and stuffed it in Gu Erlang's mouth.

Gu Erlang laughed angrily. "I know, I'm so heartless, I can't stop scolding you. If someone hears it, they'll think your brother has done something stupid. You'll be so angry that you'll beat me up."

"You just did something stupid." Gu Erlang rolled his eyes at Gu Wenxuan angrily, and instead of taking over, he took a bite of the watermelon with Gu Wenxuan's hand.

"I'm wronged. It's not my idea, it's my wife who came up with it." Gu Wenxuan whispered in Gu Erlang's ear, "I can't say my eldest brother is afraid that I won't be able to suppress him——"

"Gu Xiaoliu!"

Gu Wenxuan laughed loudly, "I think too much, my good brother."

Gu Erlang glanced sideways at him.

"I admit that it is not simple for my daughter-in-law to be able to come out of the backyard of a deep house and still make the government look at her with special eyes, but I know what she really wants.

From the beginning, she had good embroidery skills that could be the foundation of her career. She never thought about relying on anyone, otherwise it would not be her turn to return to the village, and I would still have a chance to save her.

Even now, to be arrogant, with her uncle as my husband, if I want to take the scientific examination and become an official, I will not be able to compare with Boss Zhao back then.

He, Boss Zhao, has a good relationship, but my wife's uncle alone is not comparable to that of his in-laws.

If I were to become a Jinshi like Mr. Zhao, it would be much easier for me to get ahead than him. But I said I didn’t want to be an official, and my wife didn’t want to be an official’s wife either.

She said that everything she said was false, and having a reputation was already very good.

Life is short, take everything lightly, don't be burdened by the world, be kind to yourself, and have no regrets is enough. "

Life is short...it is enough not to regret it. Gu Erlang silently recited each word in his heart, as if he understood what his sister-in-law was thinking most of the time.

"She looks exactly the same when her uncle appears and when he doesn't appear, with a very good attitude.

She said that as a maid, she did not steal or rob, she was a good person and there was nothing inferior to others.

With her uncle here, she is regarded as the only daughter of the Zhou family. She says she is still the same, but with the addition of elders who love her, which is not her capital to be pampered and proud..."

West wing.

In the study room, Zhou Banxia still didn't know how someone who was his younger brother showed off his wife crazily in front of his eldest brother who was crazy about supporting his younger brother.

After finishing the accounts for those who were not at home recently, and preparing the account books for Gao Fu to check, he raised his head and stretched himself, but still returned to the room after not seeing anyone for a long time.

Now she went back to her room to sleep. She had already slept for a while in the afternoon and was still not sleepy for a while, so she simply went to open the wooden box that Zhou Molan insisted on bringing back.

To say she was determined was not exaggerating at all. She felt there was no need to take it home and it would not be too safe to keep it in the accounting room of the workshop. Unfortunately, her Aunt Lan didn't think so.

The big wooden box was stuffed into the carriage first. It was said that whose daughter-in-law went out and it was almost dark and there was no one around. It would be much faster to go back in the carriage.

Then the carriage stopped directly in front of the counting house. Before she could say a few words, she and Xuanzi were put into the carriage and drove home.

What’s interesting is that to this day, I’m still worried that she won’t take over the dowry list.

Since she nodded, it's hard to break her promise because she still doesn't understand her.

Oh my god, no matter how I look at this dowry list, I still get a headache. I've been fooled. I shouldn't be soft-hearted. It's completely okay to be arrogant and rogue. (End of chapter)
