"No matter who asks you later, you should just say that you can't find my father, okay? Don't ever say my father is in the room, otherwise my father-in-law will be upset."

As smart as her father-in-law.

If she knew that Tian Ergou's wife couldn't enter the manor and went to her parents' home, and then knew that her father was actually at home, she must be aware of her father's little thoughts.

Zhou Banxia hesitated for a moment. He didn't have time to let her mother continue to think and ponder over it, so he had to interrupt her and give her mother a few words of advice.

"I know. When Tian Ergou's wife came to our house, your father heard from the doorman that she was here, so he told me that he was not at home and didn't know where he went."

That'll do.

Zhou Banxia knew that even if her mother couldn't understand some things for the time being, her mother would not be so foolish as to tell the truth to outsiders if her father had told her so.

Especially things like this that are easy to be gossiped about. Her mother is very concerned about her reputation, and she may not be able to control her mouth when she gets something good, but what about being criticized for her family?

It's naive, but not stupid.

"When mom went out, your dad was hiding in the house, as if he was scared of an old woman like her. How could an old woman like her break into our house to look for your dad?

I have already told your father that when I come to find you, that old woman will definitely follow me. She doesn’t care whether you listen to your father the most or not. She is determined to drag your father along with her…”

Can you think of this?
You are awesome!
"...your father always makes fun of me. He was frightened by an old woman. Tsk, I don't even want to say anything about him..."

Dad, you are despised by your wife.

"...Did your uncle tell you what time he would be back today? He didn't send anyone back this morning to let you know? If he doesn't come back soon, it will be dark soon.

"Is your uncle going to your uncle's place with Dajiang? If I had known, I would have asked your father to go to the city this morning so that we can see what Dajiang's ranking is this time."

Zhou Banxia didn't know which question to answer after hearing her mother's constant chatter. She could only wait for her mother to finish talking and then gave her an answer: "Your brother-in-law will definitely be home before dark."

After all, according to her parents-in-law, Xuanzi must be present at the Kitchen God worship ceremony at least, and he will definitely rush home before dark to participate in the ceremony.

"That's good. I wonder what rank my son-in-law got in this exam. If he gets first place, will he have to go to the government office to collect rice and silver and wait for the government office to seal it?"

"Yes. This time, there is a good chance that we don't even need to go to the county government office. The county government office almost handed over the rewards for the students to the county magistrate yesterday.

But the person sent by the education commissioner must be present, and the county master must go to the county school to say a few words and distribute the rewards before the county school can start the holiday. "

"Are you worried that someone might have taken the wrong one?"

"That's about right. The main thing is to go through the process and let the representative sent by the academic official meet the top three students of the county school this year.

Besides, next year is not the year for the provincial examination, so during this period, we can also talk about how the academician cares about the students and find out who will take the exam next autumn."

"You know a lot." Mrs. Li laughed, "Why didn't your mother give birth to a boy? If you were a boy, you might have won the third place in the imperial examination."

"That's right. I ran too fast and fell off. I became a girl. If I were a boy, a small third place would be nothing. I would definitely get a sixth place and leave my name in history."

Li laughed, "Don't be ashamed. Your father and I don't have the brains for studying. Dajiang is considered good, but he is not as good as my son-in-law." Zhou Banxia raised an eyebrow, "Isn't it said that I am the smartest in our family?"

"No, you are the only one in the family who is stupid. Your eldest sister and mother-in-law must have woken up laughing last night. Which girl is like you, who doesn't take money seriously?"

"Not much silver—"

"Are you talking about money? Your eldest sister went back yesterday, and you packed a lot of things for her to take back. You don't want to spend money?"

"I really didn't spend much money. I've been giving away a lot of gifts recently. What I asked my eldest sister to bring back weren't expensive items, just some food and clothes.

After all, I am already an aunt, and I only have one big sister like her, and her husband is helping me wholeheartedly, so how can I miss out on giving my two nephews new clothes for the New Year? "

"Even if you don't look at how many good things you gave them, how could your brother-in-law not help you? Helping you is helping himself. With your personality, he is afraid that you will mistreat him and his wife."

"You can't say that, mother. A son-in-law is not a son. As long as my brother-in-law respects you and my father, and lives a good life with my sister, he is a good person.

As for our family, judging from Dajiang's current academic performance, it is unlikely that he will stay in the village in the future. If he does, you and my father will have to accompany him.

Even if Xiaohe hadn't grown crooked, he would have been a good student, and our village wouldn't be able to keep him. When that time came, would you be willing to leave me behind and go with your son?
No matter how good a daughter-in-law is, can she be better than a daughter? When Dajiang stops being an official like his uncle and returns to live in the village, calculate how old you and my father will be.

As for my eldest sister, she may sound mean but she has a good heart. She also cares about her parents' home. The couple are very harmonious. What else could I ask for if I could have a filial son-in-law by her side?

I don’t have many wishes in this life, one of which is to help my father regain the ground he was ridiculed for, and let those people see that my father’s daughter is no worse than his son.”

Li knew that her daughter San Ya was talking about the fact that she gave birth to three daughters in a row. Not only was the father of the children looked down upon by her family, but even some people in the clan said that the father treated his daughters as treasures.

Every time the child's father heard these words, he would get angry and say that his daughter was no worse than anyone else's son and that he was being laughed at. Even now, her daughter San Ya still remembers it.

"You guys, even you are the best to talk, but you still follow your father. You are just lying when you say you don't bear grudges. Your heart is not much bigger than the tip of a needle."

"No, it's much bigger than a needle tip. I'm praised by everyone for my good nature, kindness and generosity. Who would believe me if you said I hold a grudge?"

The mother and daughter were chatting, and Maidong came back earlier than they had expected. In less than half an hour, they heard that Maidong had returned.

At this time, Li finally remembered that her family had to worship the Kitchen God today. Without waiting for Maidong to come in and pay his respects, she asked him to speak quickly, saying that she had to hurry back after listening.

"Madam, when I went there, the lady from the Tian family was still at the gatehouse on the east road. She didn't dare to act like a demon, but just refused to leave.

Not everyone can see my young lady, so I had to ask her to leave and told them to remember to send a message in advance if anyone wants to see my young lady in the future.

This is the rule for visiting relatives. Otherwise, if a relative comes to see my grandmother in a roundabout way, my grandmother will have to entertain them personally. Who can bear that?

Besides, it is neither reasonable nor logical to ask my young lady, as a junior, to settle the old accounts between their Tian family and their aunt.

I told her to stop looking for my young mistress, because when my young master gets angry, she will no longer be a relative. After hearing this, she had nothing to say and finally left. "

Is it so easy to persuade them to quit? (End of this chapter)
