Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 561 Your Father is Not Saved

Your father is hopeless. He no longer secretly exchanges the good things for silver and hides them, but he is still thinking about exchanging your mother's and my head ornaments for a house.

After lunch, Li waited and waited. When she was about to give up, it was finally almost noon and she could finally go and have a good chat with her third daughter.

In the west courtyard of the Gu family manor, Zhou Banxia was not at all surprised that her mother came at this time today, but she did not expect that the topic would not start with "good news".

She thought her mother came to share with her the story of Oda's slapping face, so as to prove that she must be pregnant with another fat boy or something.

"My father was joking. Our family is not like before. Your head ornaments and jewelry are needed when you go out to entertain guests. We will never really let you exchange them for Zhuangzi.

Before Dajiang passed the imperial examination, my father would definitely not buy more land. I asked my father many times whether he wanted to buy more land, but he always said to wait two years before deciding.

If these words were said by someone else, Li would not believe them so completely, but she believed what her San Ya said. Her San Ya would never lie to her as a mother.

After all, her San Ya had said long ago that her head ornaments and jewelry were left to her so that she would not be left with nothing in her old age in case her daughter-in-law was unfilial one day.

Completely relieved, Li put the matter aside and first asked Zhou Banxia what he had eaten this morning and whether there was anything he suddenly wanted to eat but was afraid of being laughed at and dared not say.

Li felt more relieved when she learned that her daughter's appetite would not become weird and she would not suddenly crave for stinky pickles or some wild vegetable soup cooked in clear water.

In her daughter's warm room, and knowing that her mother-in-law would not come for a while, at least not before her daughter San Ya took a nap, she relaxed.

Seeing that Zhou Banxia asked her to lie down on the platform and rest for a while, she did not refuse and waited for her daughter to lie down. She also took a pillow and lay down on the other side.

In the middle there is a small table, which looks like a kang table but not quite a kang table. On it are placed a plate of cakes, a plate of fruits, and boxes of various colors filled with walnut kernels.

Her daughter San Ya lived a life where not only were the fruits peeled and cut into small pieces, but even the peanuts, melon seeds, walnuts, etc. were peeled for her by the head maid.

When the child is born, if it is a big fat boy and I raise him well, then even if I get pregnant and give birth to another child in the future, it will be a girl and I won’t have to worry at all.

"Take good care of him. Well, I won't say anything more about this every day. Just take good care of him yourself. Did my son-in-law send anyone to send a letter back this morning?"

Zhou Banxia pointed at the small table, signaling her mother to just eat, and then she smiled and said, "He sent a letter back yesterday saying that he and Dajiang are doing well.

If he didn't come back last night and doesn't come back tomorrow, I will ask Jiaxing to send a letter back. Don't worry, Dajiang is watching, your third uncle can't get away."

Li, whose thoughts were exposed by her daughter, waved her hands and smiled, "Mother doesn't want to eat. I ate enough at home and even drank sweet soup at first. My son-in-law is a good person, so mother is not worried.

It's not pleasant to keep calling your daughter "daughter", but in his heart he is afraid that you will be worried and anxious about having a daughter. If he cherishes a daughter, no one will look down on you.

This guy is much better than his cousin Silang. Unlike the Silang from their Gu family, anyone who flatters him will say that his wife must be pregnant and he will be happy for her.

Our two brothers-in-law are not talkative, but they are smart and caring. They are like your father. I was scared when you were born as a girl, but your father was very happy.

Your grandma, that damn old woman cursed so badly, and before anyone else could say anything, she stood in the yard and yelled that the whole family would be wiped out, and my tears dried up. When other families' daughters-in-law give birth, it's either the mother-in-law or the sisters-in-law who help, but your father took care of you and your brothers and sisters and took care of me during my confinement.

The hardest thing was the first few days after you were born. Your father didn’t go to town to find a job, and that damn old woman insisted that your father divorce me.

On the day of your third birthday, your grandmother came and blocked my door, scolding me for making your father extinct. She even chose a young widow for me to marry after she divorced me.

Your father was really forced into a corner and had no other choice, so he asked your eldest sister to go to your third grandmother's house to get me food during the day, and then he would come back and stay up all night by himself after dark.

Among your five siblings, you were the most difficult to raise. You cried all night long. I saw that your father was just a bag of bones. To be honest, I really wanted to give you away at that time.

It was your father who asked someone for help. At that time, the mother of the clan leader was still alive. Your father heard from someone in the town that if the most blessed old lady in the clan could coax the baby, the baby would stop crying. So your father asked her to come home. Strangely enough, you really stopped crying all night after that.

But there is something very strange here. The old lady who coaxed you so well and looked quite healthy collapsed before your full month.

What's more coincidental is that she passed away the day after you turned 100. Your father was scared at that time, but fortunately he asked Third Grandma to hold you and comfort you because he was afraid that she was not blessed enough.

Keep this matter in your heart and don’t tell it to your son-in-law, or anyone else. If you tell others, it won’t be our fault, but it will be like we owe them a great favor.”

If Li hadn't brought up the subject, Zhou Banxia had never heard anyone mention such a thing. She seemed to understand why her father never argued with the clan leader.

Even though her and her sister were sold, the clan leader did nothing.

Her father, before her, could only say that they were five generations apart, not one branch. As the clan leader, it was not easy for him to make decisions. It turned out that the root of the problem was this matter.

This is superstitious.

Her father wouldn't think that she had taken away all the blessings of the old lady, so until now I have never heard him agree with anyone and say that she is a lucky star, right?
“… Your father, I’m not saying anything bad about him, he’s very narrow-minded. No matter how wrong your grandfather was, even his father-in-law would bow his head, but your father would just ignore him.

Of course, I'm not speaking well of your grandfather. I just think that killing is not the right thing to do. Your father is too cruel. So what if he goes to Yue's family?

I don't need him to take care of the elderly. Even if your grandparents want your father to take care of them, I won't agree. We can save face and it will sound good when we tell others about it.

Now even your two younger brothers have learned from your father. They rarely visit your grandmother’s house these days. Don’t forget that your eldest uncle still gave dowries to you and your sister.

Those who know will say that you two are very angry, while those who don’t will think that you two siblings have become successful now, and that your grandpa is not a good person and you don’t even want to acknowledge your uncle.

I'm not saying anything bad, but your father looks smart and is very quick at calculating, but some of the things he does are not up to scrutiny. Only your grandfather likes to take advantage.

If he refuses to accept the holiday gifts and says that your father will never set foot in his house, and cuts off all ties with your father, will your father still have face? If his father-in-law is not good, then he, the son-in-law, will be good enough?

I have guaranteed to your father many times that if you two go to your grandmother's house, your grandfather and his family will definitely not blame you, but he still doesn't believe me.

If I hadn't thought about giving birth to you guys and your father being kind, I would have fought with him a long time ago!"
