Rebirth of a Farming Wife

Chapter 96 Adding fuel to the fire

"Grandma, what purpose can I have? Isn't it all for the sake of this family? Isn't the third brother not married yet? I have not been able to meet so many families. Either the third brother doesn't like her, or she doesn't like her. The third brother is not young anymore, and it won't be a problem to delay it any longer. I think Xiao Xi is good. Although she is a maid, she is very good in appearance and other things. She is definitely better than the girls from ordinary families. Only good ones.”

Of course, Mrs. Zhou couldn't really care about her father-in-law's half-brother. She just thought that if this matter really came to pass, Xiao Xi would just be Han Yu's wife's maid, so she could just ask for her and save the betrothal gift. She saved a lot of money at home, and most of the benefits went to her husband. And although she said so, she actually looked down on Xiao Xi, who was born as a maid, and thought about finding a younger sister-in-law with a low status. It is also easier to suppress.

When the old lady heard Zhou's words at first, she frowned. She didn't take the second house seriously, but she was very concerned about the big house, whether it was her eldest grandson whom she valued more, or her little grandson who could usually please her. , she is her direct grandson, how could she find a maid as her daughter-in-law? This Zhou family's idea is too ridiculous.

However, after listening to Mrs. Zhou's words, the old lady's thoughts seemed a little shaken. What the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law said also made some sense. I don't know why, but her little grandson said that the marriage was particularly unsatisfactory, and now the little grandson is already dying. He is twenty, which is already too old. If it drags on any longer, it will be even harder to talk about the marriage.

Mrs. Zhou has been with the old lady for so long, and she knows the old lady very well. Seeing the old lady acting like this, you can tell that she is moved by her proposal, but she is still worried about Xiao Xi's identity, so she needs to add a little more fire. Just fine.

"Grandma, I know what you are worried about. Even if Xiao Xi is a maid, she comes from the Su family, and she is the eldest maid who follows the young lady. Her status is different from the ordinary little maids, and the Su family is A wealthy family is not comparable to ordinary wealthy families. Speaking of which, my husband's boss is also the master of the Su family, but my husband's job sounds more respectable, and he is just doing things for the master of the Su family. "

"What? You said Brother Ping's boss is also helping the Su family again! Why did I never know about this?" This was the first time the old lady heard about this. She was surprised and a little dissatisfied. The fact that she controls the money of the big house shows that she is an old lady who has a strong desire to control. Now she doesn't know about her grandson whom she values ​​so much. She only heard about it from her grandson's wife, so she definitely feels uncomfortable.

"I just heard my husband talk about it. It's normal not to talk to us women about the affairs of men outside. What's more, we didn't know that Brother Yu's daughter-in-law would be a young lady from the Su family. How could we think of it? , even if we talk about the Su family, we still don’t know.”

When Zhou said this, the old lady's expression softened. If nothing else, Zhou was very good at coaxing the old lady. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to gain the upper hand after fighting with her step-mother-in-law for so many years. Most of them It's the old lady's credit, and it's also because Han Ping is more promising than the younger brothers born to the other two stepmothers. The old lady also deliberately suppressed the position of the Han and Wang family to consolidate her own position.

"It was also my husband who heard that Brother Yu's daughter-in-law was a young lady from the Su family, so he gave me a message and asked me to tell grandma that we must be more polite to Brother Yu's daughter-in-law, otherwise if Brother Yu's daughter-in-law doesn't If I go to my parents’ house to file a complaint, my husband’s job will be lost.”

Some of what Zhou said were actually Han Ping's advice. Although Han Ping had heard that the fourth child of his second wife married a rich girl, he thought it was a rumor spread by ignorant country people and didn't take it too seriously. As far as he was concerned, his second wife, a relative from the countryside, didn't really need to worry too much. Besides, his grandma didn't like his second uncle's family, but he didn't expect that Han Yu would marry a girl from a rich family. Not only that, she was also the only legitimate daughter of the Su family.

After all, Han Ping worked under the Su family. Although he was just a small steward, he had heard a bit about the affairs of the Su family. He heard that the master and the two young masters were particularly fond of this legitimate young lady. He would never dare to do so. I offended someone, and thinking of my grandma's temper and attitude towards her second wife, I asked my daughter-in-law to give her some instructions.

"Is it really so serious? Our brother Ping only relied on his true ability to win the appreciation of the master and sit in the position of steward. Even if Brother Yu's daughter-in-law is really a Miss Su family, she is just a married daughter. A married daughter The people of the Su family may not pay much attention to the spilled water, and they may not resign a capable person like our brother Ping for her. This is also the loss of the Su family. "

The old lady has been favored by others over the years, and the people she interacts with are all low-level and low-status people. In the eyes of these people, it is already remarkable that Han Ping can sit in a managerial position, but he must not fawn over the old lady. , to put it mildly, the old lady was a little arrogant after being so flattered by others. She really felt that her grandson was a great person, and the Su family had to rely on her grandson to make money.

Mrs. Zhou was speechless when she heard what the old lady said. The old lady also regarded Han Ping too much as a green onion. Although Han Ping was her husband-in-law, she was not praised so much that she lost all self-knowledge. She knew very well that she was her husband-in-law. I'm just a small steward. It's not a matter of words whether I want you or not. You won't even have a place to find an explanation after I quit. But even though you think so in your heart, you can't say it like that. If you really frighten the old lady, little Hi, this matter is not easy to handle.

Although Zhou was somewhat afraid of Su Wenyue's identity, she didn't take Xiaoxi, a maid, seriously. She still had to make plans. Besides, it was not easy for a maid to have a good home. Maybe Xiaoxi would have to thank her.

"Grandma, since my husband has said so, we should listen to him. Whether she is married or not, Yu Ge'er's wife is always the daughter of the Su family. It's not wrong for us to respect her and build a good relationship with her. Moreover, if we can really marry Xiaoxi to my third brother, maybe our relationship with the Su family can be further improved. The Su family is not an ordinary family. It will be beneficial for us to curry favor with them."

"How can you say that? She is just a maid. If she were a lady from the Su family, she could still be used to build relationships. It's a pity that the old man is partial to him and married such a good wife to Yu Ge'er. What use is this maid." The old lady obviously didn't believe what Zhou said, and her tone was quite disapproving.
