Chapter 157: Stable House

"Xian'er, Xue'er, come and listen to it, too." After dinner, Zhou Bo Er Niang Sanlang came to the study with the elders to discuss the matter of Miss Liu. Sanlang was still a little surprised. In the past, he never participated in or listened to family affairs.

Entering the study, Du Shi looked around. The layout of the renovated study was exquisite. It seemed that his son really made a come back. She couldn't help sighing with some pride, "Brother Bo, it's hard for you."

"It's not difficult to see the help of Xuejian, but it's really not easy for Xian'er to take good care of the inside and outside, and learn to serve the people." Zhou Bo pulled out a very faint smile.

"Xue saw this child, alas, it's also a good one." Du recalled the unasent praise of Er Niang Qi Niang Ba Lang last night and couldn't help shaking his head, "He is also a rare good child."

Seeing that the words were on the topic, Sanni and others silently brought tea, and then silently withdrew with all the maids. After they withdrew, Aunt Feng said first, "Alas, this Yatong will arrive in two days," and then subconsciously paused and said, "What should I do?"

When she left Beijing, Liu Yatong said that she would take care of them all the way back. Because the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Zhou Shangyi and others were anxious, so they proposed to take a step forward and invite Liu Yatong's mother and daughter to come to the countryside to live there, which was the intention of discussing marriage.

Zhou Bo didn't know about it and couldn't help but be stunned: "What?"

"Originally, when we came back this time, Yatong would come back with us. She was afraid that we would not get used to it on the way and said she would help take care of it." Speaking of Liu Yadan, Du's eyebrows deepened and sighed deeply. Yesterday, he only heard Er Niang tell the story of Xuejian, but he didn't have time to tell them that Liu Yatong would come to Pingshan Village in two days.

Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather has gradually cooled down, but Zhou Bo's forehead was still soaked with fine sweat. His hands couldn't help twisting together, and the joints of his fingers gradually turned red and white.

Sunshine comes in through the window, but there is no temperature.

What is Xuejian doing at this time?

The study was quiet for a moment. The second lady paused, then put down the teacup in her hand. Her eyes were slightly red. She said gently, "Sister Liu's sister is famous. I'm afraid it's okay to say something. Xuejian... Although Xuejian looks weak, she is a little stubborn. What's more, she... She is also not easy..."

Thinking of the woman who always smiled gently and peacefully yesterday, has she ever thought that the person she was looking forward to has married someone else? Aunt Zhao shook her head: "No matter how generous Miss Liu is, she came here to..., but now we are such a scene... Alas, I don't know how sad it will be."

Although he is talking about things related to himself, Zhou Bo can't sit down. Now he just thinks about what will happen to this Miss Liu family if she comes over?

"But..." Before Er Niang finished speaking, Du Shi glanced at her and whispered, "Yatong is older than you. She has never abandoned her for the past three years. Every time I think of her, my mother has a little more love and pity in my heart. I always feel that the child is really good. Our Zhou family can't be sorry for her!"

After Du Shi finished speaking, Aunt Feng immediately opened his mouth and continued, "No, last time my sister was ill, how rare the medicine was. After all, the Liu family begged for help."

Zhou Bo frowned and looked at Du. Although I heard these words several times a day yesterday, I really suffered countless crimes to think about my parents' original difficulties and to protect my brother and sister. I have secretly vowed countless times that I will never let them suffer any grievances.

It's just that he really didn't expect that the quiet flower-like Miss Liu would have been waiting for him, taking care of his parents and wasting his time.

Sanlang has been sitting quietly and couldn't help but get up and say, "On today's occasion, Xueer should not have said much, but Xueer has a sentence, and he still can't spit it out!" Zhou Shangyi said, "Let's talk about it."

"At the beginning, in order to save the eldest brother, the sister-in-law went to Daqing Mountain alone and saved the eldest brother's life. Later, she gave the eldest brother Chongxi, rushed to the marriage and saved the eldest brother's leg. If there is no sister-in-law, it can be said that now we don't have a comfortable day today.

Du smiled reluctantly and looked at Zhou Bo for a long time before saying, "We didn't say that Xue Jian is not good. This girl is really valuable, but the origin is unknown... Not to mention this, just talk about Liu Jiayatong. Originally, our Zhou family was a high climb at the beginning, but later, this happened before the bride price was given. Originally, the Liu family would get rid of the relationship early. Who would have thought that the Liu family would not say a word? Yatong came to take care of her mother several times. During her illness, she cooked medicine and served tea in person for her mother's heart..."

Du looked up and reluctantly smiled. If it hadn't been for the disaster of the Zhou family, I'm afraid Zhou Bo and Liu Yatong would have been married. Now, she has been waiting for him for a year, not only because of her age, but also because of her reputation as a young girl.

On the whole, although Zhou Shangyi has not suffered any major punishment for more than two years, he has suffered a lot. The Liu family has been dredge the relationship. The silver of the Zhou family has long been copied. It was their sister's private silver that flowed into the prison like fine water, which made Zhou Shangyi have no illness or accident in prison, and finally got Wang Cong Han dark. In the middle, I worked hard and got out with a lot of silver, and then changed my stand-in to go in, so I had to get out...

When Aunt Zhao saw that Zhou Bo had never opened his mouth, she said, "Brother Bo, what do you think?"

Zhou Shangyi put in the teacup and said angrily, "What can he think? The order of her parents and the words of the matchmaker, this Miss Liu family has not only been immoral, but also has kept the festival for three years for our Zhou family. In reason and morality, our Zhou family must not be sorry for her!"

"Dad!" Zhou Bo was shocked and lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I promised Xuejian that I will never live up to her in this life. How can I explain to her?" At the beginning, Xuejian almost couldn't forgive him for a girl who climbed into his bed, but she coaxed her for half a year before she changed her mind.

Du's face also showed a trace of embarrassment, and his eyes couldn't help wetting: "Son, are you letting your parents and aunts bear the kindness of the Liu family? In the past three years, how many relationships your father-in-law has secretly used, so that we have been able to stuff money and make your father suffer less in it. Not to mention that Yatong will come here in three or two days to ask questions and take care of us old women. Do you let the Zhou family fall into an unkind and unjust situation because you are alone?

Zhou Bo was sad to be told, and his face also lost blood color. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "Xuejian's nature is better than jade than tile. She sacrificed a lot for her son, and it was her son who cheated her from the beginning to coax her to stay. There is no snow, let alone the painting column of the Zhou family's brocade and jade food gallery today. Now, how can the son bear her?"

"Okay, okay, okay!" After a while, Zhou Shangyi nodded and said, "This Liu family's love is owed by your father and mother, and you deserve it if you refuse!" We have no other choice but to make up for it. We missed the lady for a few years, but we can't compensate. Even if we want to fight and kill, we have to suffer!"

"Dad!" Zhou Bobusong knelt in front of Zhou Shangyi, "Don't say that. Let your son be an ox and horse for the Liu family, okay?"

"Miss Liu has been waiting for you for three years, but it's rare for you to be a cow and a horse?" The more he said, the more outrageous it became. Zhou Shangyi slapped the table: "They do filial piety for your parents, but you are so ruthless. You want others to poke the backbone of the Zhou family and scold them! You are an unfilial son!"

"Dad, don't be angry!" Seeing that Zhou Shangyi was really angry, Er Niang and Sanlang hurriedly knelt on the ground. "Big brother has no intention of disobeying his father!"

Zhou Bo raised his head, his face was full of sadness, and said bitterly, "Xue Jian has affection for me and kindness to the Zhou family, and I deceive her first and promise to come later. Are you going to make me feel sorry for her all my life?"

Aunt Wang, who had never spoken, raised her head at this time and said softly, "The two little women are the best, one is never abandoning, and the other is as grateful as a mountain; one is the words of parents and the other is the order of a matchmaker. This is a good thing. It's better for our brother Bo's life. It's better..." She smiled and said, "Why don't it be better to let Brother Bo marry Yatong as his wife. In this way, both of them are big, and we will also have all the feelings of both sides. Second, after Yatong passes through the door, our family will definitely not treat one side badly. Both of them will be treated the same, which is a little bit. Supplement, is this good?"

One word made everyone nod repeatedly. In ancient times, flat wives were originally something from merchants. Merchants have been do business abroad all year round, and the women they married outside are also flat wives. In ancient times, the status of merchants was very low. In addition, some businessmen did not distinguish between their wives and concubines. The big family and the courtesy family that took into account fame were very contemptuous and regarded as corrupt behaviors.

Although the Zhou family is not a family with particularly different differences from its direct descendants, it is not such a small businessman with shallow eyes, so there is no rule for a wife.

In Dashun, the ordinary wife who has entered the household law can be two-headed with the main wife and can return to the ancestral home together. When entering the clan, the ordinary wife does not need to offer concubines to the main wife. The children born are also the legitimate children, and the legitimate children born to the legitimate wife have basically the same inheritance rights, but the ordinary wife still needs to call the legitimate wife the eldest sister.

Like the Zhou family, Aunt Feng and others did not have the right to return to their ancestral home in the past, but this time the situation is special, so they will come back together. But in two days, the ancestral hall will be reopened to comfort the ancestors, but there will be no share of them.

Dashun also stipulates that the wife also has the right to be listed as a tombstone or ancestral plaque after death, or to supplement the legal wife status after the death of the husband's first spouse, and also adopt the marriage ceremony equivalent to the formal spouse in the process of marriage. In this way, it is not very wronged to Miss Liu.

As soon as Aunt Wang said this, she woke up the dreamer, and everyone nodded repeatedly. Several aunts feel the identity of this ordinary wife, but ordinary people can't ask for it, and they can't help but envy it.

Du is still hesitating, "Yatong is a lady of the official family. I thought, how can there be a reason to be an ordinary wife?"

Zhou Bo said urgently, "Dad, Xue Jian will not agree..."

Zhou Shangyi was dissatisfied and stared at his son fiercely, "Although our Zhou family is sorry for our daughter-in-law first, if she does this, she can't tolerate it, and she is not a reasonable person. If she really says that she really works hard for the Zhou family, she will understand the hardships of the Zhou family, and she will also live hand in hand with Miss Liu to stabilize the back house and prosper the Zhou family!"
