Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 496 I heard

Zhou Banxia had heard Gu Wenxuan mention that there was such a jade pendant in Gu's family's home, and her father-in-law had seen it when he was young.

It was said that her father-in-law's grandfather had a white jade pendant the size of half a palm, but she never expected that a maid would have a jade pendant worth a thousand taels of silver.

It seems that Mrs. Gu’s deceased grandmother had extraordinary means.

"Dad, does the Tian family know much about this jade pendant?"

"It shouldn't be many. If there were more, there would have been a commotion a long time ago. Old Man Tian isn't the eldest son or grandson, and he doesn't have only one son, Tian Ergou.

Think about it, if he wasn't afraid that too many people would know, why would Old Man Tian take the jade pendant to your father-in-law and expect your father-in-law to ask you for a thousand taels of silver?"

It seems that my father-in-law didn't tell you that he has money on hand now. He doesn't need to ask me, your daughter, for help for a thousand taels of silver. He has several thousand taels of silver on his own.

"Your father-in-law said that you don't have so much cash. Not long ago, you asked Manager Wang to borrow money to buy land, and you didn't dare to look for good farmland when you bought it."

These are words that her father-in-law could say.

Smiling in the middle of summer.

“So he turned it down on the spot at the coach inn, but the Tian family paid 500 taels of silver yesterday to settle the scandal, so it should be quite valuable.

It's obvious that your father-in-law won't work. Old Man Tian doesn't know anyone who can exchange it for at least 500 taels of silver in two days, unless he goes to a pawnshop.

The farthest it can go is the pawnshop in Lin County, otherwise it would take two days to go back and forth, and maybe Old Man Tian would really fool your father-in-law if he said it was worth more than a thousand taels of silver."

Zhou Banxia's heart moved, "Five hundred taels of silver were used to settle the matter yesterday? Did you ever hear that the Tian family was in turmoil, or what excuse did they use to pay the money?"

"Yes, of course. You have to know that this is five hundred taels of silver, not five taels of silver. Most people can't even raise this amount even if they sell their entire family.

Let's talk about us two, the money we saved earlier—" Zhou Si paused, "Don't talk about it, this matter, maybe Liu Lang's uncle got involved."

"What do you say?"

Zhou Banxia blinked and thought, no way, what on earth did my father-in-law tell you? You wouldn't have guessed that Gu Yangwen was having an affair with that widow, right?

"Dad, have you forgotten that Old Man Tian has Gu Yangwen, his nephew and brother-in-law? Gu Yangwen is an accountant, so he should be able to help find a good buyer."

It turned out that it was not what she thought. Zhou Banxia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise she didn't know whether she should talk to her father about the truth of the matter.

"No wonder the Tian family quarreled. I told them it was not a small amount, but why didn't they fight? Maybe it was Liu Lang's uncle who came up with the idea.

Even the idea of ​​colluding with the brother-in-law to claim that only two hundred taels of silver were his. ” Zhou Sishun slapped his forehead.

Zhou Banxia quickly offered the teacup with both hands, lest her father have the chance to hurt himself, "There's still this matter? So, how much silver can that child get?"

"This cannot be faked. For matters like this that are not reported to the government and are resolved privately, there will be respected witnesses who will sign and put their fingerprints on the deed.

When the child is still young and has not yet reached adulthood, the family has the grandfather and elders who can make the decision. In order to avoid a bad reputation, the witnesses will be the clan leader, the village head, or the neighborhood leader. Even if these people are old, it doesn't matter if they leave before the child reaches adulthood. There are several deeds that will write one, two, three, etc. to prevent the child from dying halfway.

Generally speaking, unless the world is in chaos, no one will care about anyone else, and no one dares to go against the contract. At most, they will wait until the child grows up and suffer some losses and get back half of the family property."

Zhou Sishun knew that his daughter San Ya was kind-hearted, so he tried his best to convince her that the child would not be murdered. However, he could not guarantee whether this was true or not.

His unkind biological parents even harmed his two legitimate granddaughters. What can the clan rules do to those two old people? How can they bring his Erya back to life?

Human life is precious only when its own family cares about it. If no one cares, it is even less valuable than a chicken. A chicken has to be slaughtered to see if it can still lay eggs.

He had experienced this feeling more than once or twice. When he was so angry, he took a fire starter and wanted to set fire to everything.

What's more, he is a young child. With a mother like that, no matter what, he is not a biological child. Living is suffering. It is a blessing for him to grow up.

Many people want to be bound by a contract and hope that their uncles and aunts will act according to their conscience. It's just a joke, because people in poverty will be bullied by everyone, let alone a child.

But how could he dare to tell these thoughts to his San Ya frankly? It would be better to let his San Ya believe that there are more good people than bad people in the world when she has twins.

Maybe, just maybe, the child's uncle and aunt are as kind-hearted as his own San Ya, and it is not impossible that they are reluctant to treat even the servants harshly.

"As for you, listen to your father's advice. Don't worry about anything now. Don't worry about anything. It's normal for pregnant women to be a little bit irritable occasionally. You don't have to be too virtuous.

As for this person, you have to think about yourself. No one is more urgent than yourself, not your father, and not your brother Liu Lang either. There is no need to put yourself in a difficult position for anyone else.

If you feel anxious, think about why you came back from Gao's house. Didn't you come back just to avoid being controlled by others? Now that you have finally made it, why would you go back?

Dad would rather you be scolded as unfilial than have you keep things in your heart. Dad doesn’t have a father who can protect you, but you have your uncle, San Ya.

Your uncle treats you as his own daughter, you must not let him down. Your uncle also wants you to live a life no less enjoyable than that of the Gao family's legitimate daughter.

Your uncle still wants you to have a large family with many children and grandchildren, and wants you to fulfill your master's regret. You must repay the kindness you owe to your master and uncle.

I won't give birth to an ungrateful daughter. After your uncle passes away, your elder brothers will still need you to keep an eye on him and lend him as much help as possible.

These are the things you should think about. The rest are irrelevant. If you are foolish enough to get hurt by irrelevant things, who can you be responsible for?

As for Dad, his life is better now than what you said. Your uncle Zhao has an older brother who is an official and a younger brother who can make money?

Dad is not bragging, he is not as good as Dad. No matter how good the eldest brother and the third brother are, they can't be better than Dad for having a good daughter. I don't know how many people envy Dad now.

What's more, Dajiang is now a student of the imperial government, and Xiaohe doesn't look like a stupid child. Dad dare not be greedy. Dad just hopes that you can live safely under his nose.

As long as you are here, Dad will be bolder, and Dad will not worry about whether your brothers will be unfilial when they get married and start their own families. So, even if it is for Dad’s own good, you have to be obedient, understand?”

Zhou Banxia nodded hurriedly, "I understand, I know, I understand. I am your courage, your daughter. With me here, whoever dares to make my father angry, I can't defeat them!"

"Yes, that's what we want!" Zhou Sishun stood up. "Okay, your mother is here, and dad is going to look for your father-in-law. Your uncle Ma and I will have dinner at your place tonight, and you two can chat slowly."
