Zhou Sishun didn't know what to say to his fierce wife who had only just come to her senses and realized that he had already been the second master of the Zhou family, but he seldom mentioned it.

After all, the eldest brother accepted him as his second brother because of San Ya. Zhou Changshun was not a capable person, and how could a peasant like him help the eldest brother?

As a person, you should always know yourself. If you can't help your big brother, but you still shamelessly show off that you have such a big brother as your backer, how shameless you are.

Even though Zhao Laoer has a legitimate elder brother who is an official in the capital, he doesn't seem to show off in public. How could he not know what's going on?

It was naturally the same as how his San Ya had a say in front of Old Madam Gao earlier. If he didn't want to cause trouble for his eldest brother, it would be better to keep it to himself.

Besides, he knows what kind of personality his wife has. She likes to show off. If he loses his temper, what will happen to her?
He understood very well how poor people would have different thoughts when they became rich. He understood it when someone came to him politely and wanted San Ya to pass on a message.

At that time, he felt so happy that he, a peasant, was looked up to by others. He almost agreed in his heart.

If he hadn't thought about why his third daughter said those words in front of Old Madam Gao, and given him the banknotes for free, he might have harmed his daughter.

Who doesn't want money? It can allow his third daughter to return home and reunite with her family earlier, but one must be alive to get it, just like the Gao family is no match for his eldest brother now.

As long as the eldest brother is good, there is no need to worry that San Ya will be left without anyone to protect her; as long as the eldest brother's family is doing well, there is no need to worry about encountering difficulties and being almost desperate like before.

If God had not provided him with a daughter, he would have wanted to use the ten taels of silver to buy medicine to poison the whole bunch of people. It was too tiring to live with no end in sight.

Looking at Li who was still waiting for his response, Zhou Sishun sighed and raised his hand to take the hot towel handed by his wife, "It's not too late for you to think about it this way.

It's not that I don't allow you to interact with your mother's family, it's that I'm really afraid of your parents. It's not easy for our family to be in this situation today. It was earned by Erya's life and Sanya's half life.

If God had not let San Ya meet the eldest sister, we would only have Daya as our daughter. I dare not even think about how your parents would treat you when I was leaving at that time.

They said nice things, saying that since you have suffered with me, I might as well let you go back to your parents' home and remarry to live a good life. How can you find a good family after giving birth to three daughters?

No matter how bad I am, I have never touched you since you came into my house, right? Even when you quarreled with those women from your family, I always protected you, right?

In those early years, I was afraid that you would be looked down upon by your sisters when you returned to your parents' home. Did I try my best to secretly ensure that you would not return empty-handed every time?

I think no matter how cowardly I am, I have never done anything wrong towards you. Every mother-in-law would scold her daughter-in-law whenever she wants, and I even talked back to you.

I have become such a son-in-law, but your parents are still not satisfied. They want to separate us and want me to let you remarry.

The most outrageous thing is that you were pregnant with our Dajiang at that time, but your father didn’t even wait until you gave birth to start plotting against me. Instead, he humiliated me in front of so many people.

If I were a narrow-minded person, would I vent my anger on you and make you die when giving birth? Your parents don't care about these things at all.

That time, I saw through your parents. You were so stupid that you thought they loved you and didn't want to let you remarry. So who else could you find?

It's just that they sold you out for a few more coins. How can they really care about you? It's just that I feel sorry for you, so no matter how angry I am, I can't bear to slap you.

If you were a different man, you would have been beaten to death long ago, and you would not be able to go back to your parents' home if you want to. I always remind myself that I am the son-in-law, and your parents don't owe me anything, so I can bear this anger."

Otherwise, every time I come back from the capital, I feel like beating you to death when I think of my daughter becoming a slave and having her life held in the hands of outsiders, and you still go back to your parents' home.

The fault lies with those two old people first, so I endured it again and again while your parents stood by and watched; it was San Ya who told me not to blame you, I wanted to wait for the child to come home and still have a mother. Let the child know that there is a good home waiting for her to come back and reunite, you silly woman, no matter how many times I told you, you just can't change, parents!

"I will definitely keep my word this time!" Looking at Zhou Sishun's suspicious eyes, Li, who was delighted by his words "only I love you", promised with a stern face.

"Well, you are my wife, we are married and will live and die together. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust? Besides, you are already a mother-in-law, it's time for you to grow up."

Li couldn't help but laugh out loud, and punched him with her fist, "I'm a child, how can I grow up? Give it to me now, it's cold."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sishun hurriedly handed the towel in his hand to his wife, and waited for her to put the towel into the copper basin, rub it twice with hot water, wring it dry, and hand it to him.

To be honest, no matter how unreasonable this daughter-in-law is, she treats him very well.

Although he was so diligent now that he was afraid that the maids would snatch his work away from him, he had been fetching water to wash his face and feet ever since he came home, and he had never missed a day of fetching water to wash his face and feet as long as he was at home.

Even when the child grew up and could fetch water, he still happily rushed to serve her, which must mean that she loved him very much.

Think more about the good things, and your life will be better. This is what his daughter San Ya often says. Yes, there is nothing that cannot be overcome. If you have a debt, just bear it. If you really can't pay it back, your son will pay it back!

Dajiang accompanied Zhou Yanqing to the Imperial College early in the morning and paid a visit to Zhou Yanqing's father-in-law, Lord Kong, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College. It was already late when they returned to Zhou's house.

Upon hearing the doorman report that his father Zhou Changshun had gone out this morning and returned home, he urged his eldest brother Zhou Yanqing to go back to his room first and pay more attention to his sister-in-law who was about to give birth.

Dajiang, who didn't know that he was designated as one of the creditors by his father, separated from Zhou Yanqing in the outer courtyard and walked westward into Qingfeng Courtyard.

as predicted.

His father was in the inner room of the upper room at this time.

Moreover, even his mother, who would never be seen in Qingfeng Courtyard until dark in recent days, was in the house at this time.

"Dad, Mom? My son is back."

"Come in/come into the house."

Hearing his parents' unanimous voice coming from inside, Dajiang couldn't help but smile. He took a quick step, stretched out his right hand, lifted the bead curtain, and entered the inner room.

It was his parents who came out from behind a screen in the room. "Dad, your son is back. Mom, why aren't you with your aunt today?"

Listen!

How did this silly son get the scholarship? That’s a good question. Of course, everything about you has been prepared. Is your mother still staying with your aunt every day?

"There are a lot of things going on at home. Your aunt is busy. She even prepared your betrothal gifts in the afternoon. Since I can't help your aunt, I will go back to my room first."

"Where is my sister-in-law?" (End of this chapter)
