Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 473 Don't suffer from poverty and injustice
Mei Niang really encountered a difficult situation.

However, it is said that back then, when shopkeeper Li Da chose a marriage for Meiniang, he also spent a lot of effort.After all, although Meiniang is good, she can't see clearly in one eye, and she has many scars on her legs and feet. Most importantly, she will not be too young when she becomes a filial piety.

Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to choose a perfect marriage.

Because of this, shopkeeper Li Da lowered his requirements in some aspects.

Meiniang's husband's family is in business, and their family background is quite good.Her husband is gentle and kind. He is the only child in the family, and his parents-in-law are also relatively easy to get along with.It can be said that apart from not being the original partner, this marriage can really be regarded as perfect.

Of course, the continuation may not be unacceptable, after all, the original partner did not leave any children.And the Li family is not bad either. In this case, even though Meiniang's identity is the sequel, in fact she is no different from her original partner.

But the problem still came.

Grandfather from husband's family.

Meiniang's husband is the only son, and her father-in-law is indeed the eldest son of her grandfather's family, but the problem is that her father-in-law is not the only son, and there are younger siblings.

The younger sister and so on can be completely ignored in this day and age.If she still needs to take care of her before leaving the cabinet, her father-in-law's younger sister is quite old, so she doesn't need to worry about it at all.The key lies in her father-in-law's younger brother.

People these days get married early and have children early.

Meiniang's husband is only in his twenties now, her father-in-law is just 40 years old this year, and her father-in-law's younger brother is one year younger than her husband.

The emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the youngest son.

This is a truth that has never changed through the ages, and naturally Meiniang's husband's family is also the same.

Although, whether it is laws or customs, the eldest son inherits the family business in this dynasty.But legal principles are nothing more than human feelings, not to mention that in addition to legal principles, this dynasty also pays attention to filial piety.

If the parents pass away, the eldest brother can naturally inherit most of the family property according to the law.

But what if the parents are still alive?

This time, Meiniang's husband's family encountered such a problem.

When the old grandfather of the husband's family, who was over sixty years ago, asked to give the family property to Yao'er, the rest of the younger generation seemed to have no other choice but to accept it, even if they felt resentful.

"...Well, I really don't know whose fault it is. At first glance, the reason is on our side, but when it comes to filial piety, it seems that the fault is on our side again." Meiniang said bitterly face, sighing again and again, "But do you give up the family property when you say you want to give it up? Even if I don't care about myself, I still have to think about Dabao, right? Besides, you don't know, big girl, the family property used to be owned by me. My father-in-law took care of it, so it can be said that most of the family property was saved by my father-in-law."

After listening to Meiniang's narration in silence, Mo Qianrui was speechless for a moment.

Housework is indeed the most difficult, especially when filial piety and family property are involved.

"Meiniang, how did your husband and in-laws plan?" After careful consideration, Mo Qianrui felt that this matter should be handled by the elders.After all, it is reasonable for brothers to fight for family property, but if the grandson and his wife intervene, it will not look very good.

"Well, isn't it because of my parents-in-law? Especially my father-in-law, he saved most of the family business, and to put it bluntly, my uncle is not his brother from the same mother. I have some ideas in my mind."

"Not the brother of the same mother?"

"It's from the stepmother." Meiniang paused, and the wry smile on her face became more intense, "Actually, I am also a stepmother, but to be honest, the stepmother's stepmother is more noble than the stepmother, if my husband My original spouse left behind a child, so I would never marry. Stepmother, it’s too hard to be a stepmother.”

Mo Qianrui nodded in agreement.

It's nothing more than a stepmother, a widow will naturally have to continue, and Mo Qianrui doesn't think that the original spouse is more noble than the stepmother.

But this stepmother is the most difficult job in the world.

You said treat your original spouse's child as your own. When you don't have your own flesh and blood, it's fine. If you really have your own flesh and blood, why do you treat it as your own?Even if the two children are biological, the mother will subconsciously favor the younger one.Not to mention, sometimes even if you treat yourself as your own, people still think you are partial to your own flesh and blood.

If even the slightest bit of dissatisfaction or blame for the original child is revealed, the world will definitely be in chaos.If it is your own, you can scold and beat it however you want, but it is not your own, so beating and scolding is a sign of viciousness.

In addition to these two attitudes, there is also pampering, people will think you are flattering.

If you just ignore it, people will think you are cold and heartless...

All in all, in one sentence, being a stepmother is too difficult, and it is completely the kind of job that can never be won no matter what you do.

"Actually, I also understand that everyone has their own sufferings. Don't talk about it, let's talk about grandfather. He hopes that all the children in the family will be kind and live a good life without fighting or grabbing. But how is this possible? Although my grandmother is not my relative, she has always been nice to me. My uncle is married but has not yet had a child. She is also very kind to Dabao, a grandson. But when it comes to the separation of the family, my grandmother can't bear it , she knows that the son she gave birth to is useless."

"It's useless, don't you have to set up your own family if you become a relative?"

When saying this, Mo Qianrui couldn't help but think of the little uncle of the Mo family.

It is easy to say to set up your own family, but how difficult it is to do it.An originally impoverished family like the Mo family can raise a delicate and useless heir like the little uncle of the Mo family, not to mention that Meiniang's husband's family is relatively wealthy.

"It's easy to say, if my uncle can stand up, there won't be so many troubles."

Sure enough, Meiniang's next words were exactly as Mo Qianrui expected, and even the situation of her husband's family was somewhat similar to that of Mo's.

The so-called similarity is that the uncle of Meiniang's husband's family is also a scholar, and he is more pedantic than the uncle of the Mo family.However, he is not completely incompetent, at least now he has the reputation of a scholar.But the problem is that the fame of a mere scholar is not enough to embark on an official career, and he can't even support his family.In addition, the man thought that he was still young and could continue to take the exam, but the issue of livelihood could not be ignored.

"Meiniang, is your husband's uncle planning to let your father-in-law take care of him for the rest of his life? Until he becomes famous and becomes an official?"

"It's more than that. If it's just to raise him for the rest of his life, it's fine. It's not that he's married, and his wife is pregnant now. From now on, I'm afraid they will be raising their children and grandchildren."

Mo Qianrui couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth.

This is really similar to the Mo family, except that the grandmother of the Mo family is now on the alert, and the uncle of the Mo family also hopes to be able to establish his own family.Of course, the premise is that everything has been settled for him.

"Hey, big girl, I really don't know what to do. My uncle wants to stay at home and doesn't want to separate the family. After being opposed by my father-in-law, he instigated the old grandfather to give him the family business. He is an old man. My ears are soft, and I feel that my father-in-law and my husband are both capable, and my father-in-law will not sit idly by. The old man was wrong for a while, and insisted on handing over all the family property to my uncle. But... my father-in-law He was about to die of anger, and even if he wanted to give it, he should give it to his brothers."

"Eh? Your father-in-law and younger brother?"

"Yes, when my husband's grandmother passed away, my father-in-law was already in his teens. He had three younger brothers and a younger sister. However, his younger sister married far away in the early years and hadn't contacted the family for a long time. His The younger brothers of the three direct relatives have always been in contact with each other, but their lives are quite good, and they have never expected to divide the family property."

With a sad face on her face, Meiniang took Mo Qianrui's hand, and said helplessly: "I'm not so much here to discuss a solution with my father this time, as it is to hide from my heart. Don't you know, big girl?" Ah, there hasn't been a single moment of peace in the house since this incident got all over the place."

Mo Qianrui looked at Meiniang sympathetically. To be honest, she felt that this matter could not be dealt with at all.

Even the almighty treasurer Li Da probably didn't know how to deal with it. After all, this time the law and filial piety were contrary.

It's just that Meiniang looks so worried, and Mo Qianrui has to say a few words of comfort: "Meiniang, try to persuade me a little bit, it's not right to make trouble for the family property. Anyway, you and your wife are still You are young, your father-in-law is actually not very old, so it is easy to work hard to save another family property."

No, when Mo Qianrui said this, Meiniang's complexion became even uglier.

It's not that she was annoyed by Mo Qianrui's words, but that she was really suffering.

"If only it were that simple. Now it's not that my husband and I want to fight for the family property. It's my father-in-law who is unwilling. After all, it is the property that he spent half his life saving. Why should the old man just give it away with a word? The relationship between him and my uncle is not good at all. Another point, I heard from my husband. The old man means that all the family property belongs to my uncle, but he and his grandmother still want us to raise them. If we bother in the future After struggling to save another piece of family property, he gave it away again, but how can it be good?"

Hearing what Meiniang said, Mo Qianrui was completely speechless.

Of course, it is indeed the younger generation's duty to support the elders, but the elders can't go too far, right?

Recalling that when I was in Mingyue Town, the grandmother of the Mo family eagerly saved some money and sent it to the younger uncle of the Mo family. The father of the Mo family was already a little unhappy, and later it involved a series of marriages for the younger uncle of the Mo family. When it came time to pay, the father of the Mo family almost got into a fight with the grandma of the Mo family, and Mo Qianrui could only sigh.

To put it bluntly, Mo Qianrui is a relatively generous person, and he doesn't care how you use the money if he gives you the money.

Can it be placed on other people?
Who can tolerate parents giving away all the money they have saved so hard?

If it is someone with a special patriarchal consciousness like shopkeeper Li Da, he has to do it voluntarily.Moreover, even the shopkeeper Li Da would never be willing to give away all his family property, he would only choose to help his younger brothers appropriately.

In a word, it is not suffering from poverty or injustice.
