Chapter 57-57.

"Erya, don't be rude in front of the old lady." Zheng Yuansheng scolded in a low voice, and bowed deeply to the old lady: "Old lady, Yuansheng offended you."

"What an offense! Get out of the way!" Tian Erya pushed hard, and Zheng Yuansheng almost hit the wall.She pointed to the old lady's nose: "I said you old lady, don't be too old and disrespectful. Is there anyone like you who put down your granddaughter-in-law?"

Chen's father shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! If you dare to be rude to my mother, I will have my servants beat you out!"

The old lady waved her hand to stop: "Let her continue."

Tian Erya raised her chest: "Old lady, can women here choose their parents? If children can choose what kind of parents they are born with, then everyone wants to choose an emperor and a queen as their parents! However, choosing No, it’s not the children’s fault! Besides, Jiaqi’s mother was born as a maid, what’s the matter? Is it preventing you from eating or drinking?”

The old lady's face sank like water: "I'm in the way of my Chen family's face! You are a country girl who has lived in the city for a short time, and you don't understand the rules of life of high-ranking officials. Here you talk about your background, your reputation, and you have a distinguished status. Business is also convenient. Jiaqi has a mother from a humble background, and even my grandson Shizu is looked down upon when she is outside."

Jiaqi was weeping, her body was hunched over, her appearance made people feel extremely pitiful.

Zheng Yuansheng also bit his lips tightly. His mother's family background was not decent, which caused him and his sister to be criticized since childhood.Fortunately, he was placed under the name of his former aunt since he was born, but his younger sister was raised by his second aunt, which also made his younger sister bear more human affection.

Tian Erya sneered: "Old lady, what you said is unreasonable. Qin Shihuang's mother, Empress Dowager Zhao, used to be a singing and dancing prostitute, and Qin Shihuang still unified the six countries. Regardless of the origin of the hero, what are you talking about with Jiaqiniang's background? As long as your grandson is capable and powerful, who would dare to say that his wife's own mother will embarrass him?"

The old lady nodded with a smile, and looked at her daughter-in-law: "Jiaqi, did you hear that? What your sister-in-law said is the truth."

Tian Erya was stunned, and Monk Zhang Er was puzzled.

Jiaqi was also at a loss.

The old lady patted Jiaqi's hand: "Although I am not satisfied with your background, but the past few years, especially the relationship these days, let me see that you are a virtuous and good woman, but your character is a little cowardly. Still a good daughter-in-law."

Jiaqi was suddenly recognized, and she burst into tears.She knew that this was the only way to take root in the Chen family.

The old lady looked at Chen's father and Chen's mother: "You two spoiled your son too much. I know Shizu is the only child of you two, but spoiling a son is like killing a son. You can't correct him in time when he makes mistakes. Help him make mistakes. Especially you, son, people say you are strict with your father and mother, but you have never been strict with Shizu."

Father Chen lowered his head: "Mother, I know I was wrong."

"You! You have always been an honest and responsible businessman, but you are too used to your son. Although Shizu has been learning business by your side, he has never learned how to calculate accounts and read fabrics in a down-to-earth manner. Drinking, you husband and wife feel sorry for him, let him go. He said that he would buy a large amount of silk, although you think it’s inappropriate, but you don’t object. He took the silk and asked someone to find a warehouse for storage. Just like my son, he learned to be a hands-free shopkeeper, so that the already depreciated silk was water-stained again, and it was all in his own hands, so that he lost the family property of his ancestors."

Chen Shizu knelt down: "Grandma, everything is my fault. I broke down the cloth shop, and it's none of my father's business."

The old lady sighed: "Shizu, I feel uncomfortable when the cloth shop closed down, but I can accept it. Doing business! There will always be ups and downs. But, what I didn't expect is that after the cloth shop closed down, you were so devastated. Holding the wine bottle, I learned to swear and beat people. Your parents love you, think you are in a bad mood, and let you degenerate. This is harming you!"

Chen's father and Chen's mother lowered their heads, silently reflecting.

The old lady ordered Tian Erya: "Shizu, sister-in-law Jiaqi is right. It’s okay to lose money in business. You can make a comeback. Don’t dislike small businesses. A famous silk company like Dingxinyuan is also a small business step by step. Get up. I told you before that the ancestors of Dingxinyuan’s owner carried the burden and walked to the Northwest to do business with the Mongols. They sold silk one after another, which is how their shop is today. Our family is not a wealthy imperial businessman, so it is not ashamed to start from a young age. If you continue to neglect your business, focus on drinking, beat your daughter-in-law back to your natal family, and do nothing, you will lose face to our Chen family."

"Yes!" Tian Erya echoed, "Shizu, your family supports you to cheer up and start your business again, so why do you care about face? A real big man can bend and stretch."

Zheng Yuansheng couldn't help smiling when he saw her heroic look, feeling admiration in his heart.

Chen Shizu pursed his lips tightly, with a bit of unwillingness on his face.

The old lady stood up on crutches: "Starting today, you carry out the looms in the warehouse, and I will start weaving."

Father Chen was shocked: "Mother?"

The old lady's eyes were sharp: "Jiaqi, Shizuniang, you two should follow me to learn how to weave. If anyone doesn't want to, you can move out of the Chen family."

Jiaqi quickly stated: "Grandma, I am willing to learn."

Chen's mother hesitated, pampered and pampered for half her life, and even started to learn weaving?

The old lady emphasized her tone: "As the old saying goes, a good daughter-in-law prospers for three generations, and a bad one ruins the whole family. To be a daughter-in-law is to be diligent and thrifty, to guard the rear for men, and to be a good backing. Grandmother Shizu, now your man and your son have no money. especially Shizu, if he doesn’t pull himself together, you and your man will suffer a lot for the rest of their lives.”

Mother Chen came to her senses: "Mother, I will learn weaving from you. Shizu, Mother supports you and your father to regroup with actions. One day, we will reopen our cloth shop."

Chen Shizu was greatly moved and wept: "It's my fault, I'm a big man who drags down the family..."

Tian Erya took out Jiaqi's handkerchief and threw it to him: "Why are you crying, a big man? Don't just show your loyalty, it depends on your actions in the future!"

Jiaqi hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, Shizu will work hard, don't suppress him anymore."

Tian Erya clapped her mouth: "Okay! It's me who is busy."

Jiaqi quickly explained: "Sister-in-law, that's not what I meant."

The old lady ordered: "Jiaqi, ask the servants to cook again, and greet your brother and sister-in-law for dinner."

Zheng Yuansheng bowed hurriedly and said, "Don't dare, the two of us have been bothering you for a long time, it's time to go back. Take your leave."

Even though Tian Erya was hungry, she knew that he was just being polite. She beat his grandson, and he didn't want to see her again, so he stood beside Zheng Yuansheng in desperation, ready to follow him out.

The old lady nodded: "The house is a bit chaotic today, it is not suitable for entertaining distinguished guests. You two will come back another day, and you must treat them well. Shizu and Jiaqi, you both have injuries on your faces, so don't go out of the room these few days , so as not to let people see the joke. Son, daughter-in-law, you two will see the distinguished guest for me!"

"Yes." Father Chen replied, turning to Zheng Yuansheng and Tian Erya, "Please, both of you."

Zheng Yuansheng cupped his hands and bowed: "Old lady, take care. I have offended you a lot today."

Tian Erya thought for a while, then knelt on the ground with a plop.Her behavior startled everyone in the room.
