Chapter 521 My Father and My Mother
Just as Gu Erzhu thought, the manor under Zhou Banxia's name was intended to be the ancestral home after the family split up in the future. It covered a large area and naturally cost a lot to build.

From the outside, the architectural style is as rough and majestic as the rammed earth wall of the village. After passing the wall and walking along the bluestone slabs into the main gate, you will find yourself in a new world.

There are carved beams and painted buildings, rockery and stone scenery, and trees dotted around. Pavilions and towers are scattered at different heights, and corridors and courtyards are connected to each other. The scenery changes with every step, and there is a sense of exquisiteness everywhere.

Just in the outer courtyard, if you enter from the small door at the main entrance and go around the screen wall to get to the front hall, you don't have to go through the corridor but go straight and pass through one of the small gardens.

Even though Ma Shan had been here many times, she still felt that it was so huge inside that it was easy to get lost if she wasn't careful, let alone looking for someone in the inner courtyard.

Seeing that the children had gone in, but her parents-in-law and others had not arrived yet, she decided not to leave after entering the outer courtyard, so as to avoid having to go back and look for her mother-in-law.

If she didn't leave, Zhou Banxia wouldn't want to move even more.

Although she walked, stopped, rested and sat down along the way when she came out of Ma's house, she couldn't deny it. A pregnant woman is a pregnant woman and she can't pretend.

Being only four months pregnant already made her legs less strong than before, and she didn't dare to be reckless. Now that the child was here, she naturally wanted the best for him.

There was a pavilion and corridor in the front yard, which Mai Huang and his men quickly cleaned up. Then the two sisters-in-law sat on a thick blanket and had a cup of tea and chatted.

"Life is so comfortable now. I don't have to do anything myself wherever I go. Sanya, I'm afraid that if I live here for too long, I won't want to move away."

Zhou Banxia laughed and shook his head, "Where do you want to move to? Wait until the expansion of our yard is completed. The earliest it will be in the second half of next year. We have to wait."

Besides, we only have two brothers, the eldest brother and the sixth brother, so we can let our parents live separately from us. Or if you give birth to ten or eight children, there won't be enough room for them here?"

"Let alone ten or eight, we can even have a hundred of them." Ma Shan looked up and looked around. "It's such a big plot of land. No wonder you don't dare to say how much money you're going to spend."

"It's enough to live comfortably. Isn't the purpose of making money to spend it? Why keep the money without spending it? Are you going to be a miser?" Zhou Banxia passed it over vaguely.

Then he smiled and said, "Look at my father, he is reluctant to give up this and that. Now for his knees, the herbs I found are enough for him to eat delicious food and drink spicy food every day."

"Does Uncle know how much you spent on medicine now?"

"Shh, can't say, dare not say."

Ma Shan laughed.

Zhou Banxia was also amused, "My father is much better now. Before, no matter what I did, he would be heartbroken if I spent an extra penny.

He was so poor that he was so poor that he couldn’t even redeem me after finally finding me. He was so scared that he wanted to keep more money in his hands no matter what he did.

"It's not easy for Uncle San."

"Yes, so I always want to treat him better and better. Unfortunately, my father is very stubborn. I said that I can earn some money now, so you should stop being reluctant to spend it."

You call this earning some money? Ma Shan was too embarrassed to say that her father had already done the math for her and figured out that her sister-in-law could earn at least 10,000 taels of silver this year.

Her mother didn't believe that San Ya could earn so much, but her father also said that it was neither more nor less. However, the more she earned, the more she spent.

Fortunately, after spending the money, she had something left. Even if she didn't have much cash left, after the New Year, several workshops would help her make money again.

"My father scolded me when I said this. He thought I had done enough and that now that I was married, no matter how much I earned, I couldn't support my parents, otherwise it would hurt me."

"That's right. No matter how nice your parents-in-law are, if you always think about your parents-in-law's family—" Ma Shan covered her mouth and looked around, "Will anyone hear us?"

"No." Zhou Banxia tried her best to hold back her laughter. "Mai Huang is guarding here with his men. Just tell him, it's okay."

Ma Shan rolled her eyes. "Tell me the truth first. Ever since you started the pancreas business, how much money have you given your father privately? I'll tell you."

Zhou Banxia laughed and shook his head, "What's there to hide? I did give him some silver in private, but my father didn't take it once.

When we bought the land at the intersection market, my father was short of money, so Brother Liu Lang stepped in and my father accepted a silver note worth 100 taels of silver. "What about your mother?"

"My mother? My father has already told me not to give my mother any money, not even one ounce. My mother also knows that she can't keep the money herself."

"Your grandpa wants you to leave?"

Zhou Banxia said with a smile, "You know too much. That's about it. If they hadn't bullied my father so badly, they should have been filial to the old man.

After all, they gave birth to my mother, and I exist because of my mother, but there are some things here that I don’t want to talk about.”

Ma Shan nodded in understanding. "Even if you don't tell me, I can guess what kind of person you are. Not to mention your manners, you are the most considerate in terms of etiquette.

Even my parents said that they have never seen you so well in their lives. Since you have never visited your grandmother's house since you got married, it is of course their fault.

If they are doing well, you will not mention or even want to mention your grandma's family. For example, my grandma's family always asked for things when my grandfather was still alive.

If he gave me too little, he would scold my mother for giving birth to four sons for my father in vain. If my mother had not disobeyed him, all the things in the house would have been taken away by my grandmother's family.

Only because he is gone, my uncles are afraid of my father, so they are polite. And my eldest sister-in-law, do you know why her eldest niece didn't come today?"

"Send things."

Ma Shan scratched her head. “It is true that I sent gifts, but this also has something to do with my sister-in-law’s parents. Originally, her parents didn’t want my sister-in-law to marry into Majiaao.

My eldest brother was a hero who saved the beauty. My eldest sister-in-law fell in love with my eldest brother, but her parents thought that our Majiaao was very poor and refused to agree, which made my parents angry.

If my eldest brother hadn't liked her, my parents wouldn't want to marry into their family. They said that marrying my eldest sister-in-law into the family was no different from buying her off.

They gave me a betrothal gift of fifty taels of silver, and put their fingerprints on the severance agreement. It wasn’t until my eldest sister-in-law gave birth to a child and her parents came to apologize that the two families had contact again.”

Ashamed.

You got the wrong person.

I thought the Dahuzi Yue family was much better than the Sanhuzi Yue family, but it turns out that I was in the wrong first...

"Don't tell anyone. My parents are afraid that my eldest sister-in-law can't control my second sister-in-law and the others, so they won't let my second brother and his wife tell them. Please keep it a secret for me."

Zhou Banxia shrank his neck, "Can I pretend I didn't hear it?"

"You're such a coward! If you weren't a tight-lipped person, would I dare to tell you?"

"Thank you for your trust! Ha, I'll go tell my aunt about it later. Not only did you say bad things about my sister-in-law's family, you also said bad things about her family."

"Go, go." Ma Shan waved her hand, "Go now! Everyone knows you. You were forced to come to the house by Dalang's wife, and you still say you are wrong."

"Nonsense, I hid."

"Do you want to make me laugh to death? If she said bad things about you outside, why didn't you tell her what happened? Are you afraid of her saving her face?"

"Don't you and mother protect me?"

"Your temper worries me to death."

"I'm very fierce."

"Come on, let's see if we can be fierce again."
