Almighty Dad

On the day of the Han family's treat, Mr. Wang's son Wang Xu brought Wang Sanlang to the Wang's house early. Mrs. Han greeted her warmly, grabbed Wang Xu's arm, and said with a smile: "Oh, my mother-in-law is here. I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"

Wang Xu nodded with a smile: "Health is good, eat well and sleep soundly, please remember."

Mrs. Han led them into the main room and said, "Jinxiu, pour tea for your grandparents."

Han Jinxiu sighed.

Wang Xu looked at the noisy people outside and was a little surprised.

Mrs. Han invited them to sit down and rest, and explained with a smile: "Since receiving the good news of Han Zezhong's scholar, the family has never lost anyone. Our village hasn't produced a scholar for many years. It's strange for everyone in the village to come and see one by one."

That's why the house is noisy and lively.

Mrs. Wang Xu said with a smile, "Very well, what a great prospect Han Ze is to be a scholar. Not to mention that your village has not had a scholar for many years, and the nearby villages have only had one old scholar for so many years."

Mrs. Han smiled when she heard her words. Contrary to the sad face in the past few days, she has no other expressions on her face these days except for a smile, which is just the difference between a big laugh and a smile.

"You're right. Han Ze's luck is good. He should be a scholar this year. Last year, he was almost dead. Caiwei hugged me and cried so many times. Our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked hard for Han Ze's body. I can't sleep at night, and now he is about to recover, so he passed the examination of scholar, is it because of good luck or something?"

Wang Xu also sighed very much. As soon as his son-in-law was in good health, he passed the examination as a scholar.

Mrs. Han said again: "Mother-in-law, you have raised a good daughter. When my eldest is not in good health, she takes care of them day and night. She never complains. She treats us two old guys and obeys us in everything." , such a daughter-in-law is hard to find with a lantern. I have to thank you."

When it came to raising a good girl, she was in a bad mood, because she thought of the evil that she was born with. If it wasn't for that evil, why would Han Ze have suffered so much, and how could he have been a scholar until he was twenty-six? The son is a Wenqu star who descended to earth, and was destined to be an official, but he was harmed by that evil obstacle. Every time she thought of these things, her heart ached, her liver ached, and her whole body ached.

When Wang Xu heard her praise her daughter, she also laughed, and said: "It should be, it should be. The husband and wife should help each other and rely on each other, so that they can live a good life."

Mrs. Han also agreed with this statement.

Just as they were talking, Zheng's and Wu's natal family arrived, and Mrs. Han greeted them out again. For a while, the yard became more lively.

Mr. Wang thought that his relationship with Han Ze, his son-in-law, was alienated, so he wanted to say a few words with him to get closer. But today, there are many customers in the Han family, and everyone wants to talk to Mr. Xiucai. His words just came to his lips. , was interrupted by others.

He felt a little dissatisfied, feeling that the second son-in-law didn't respect him, and he should leave others to talk with him, but the status of the second son-in-law was different now, so it was inconvenient for him to do anything more, so he could only secretly regret that the son-in-law treated him to the end Not as close as before.

It's all his fault. When his son-in-law was in trouble, he avoided him by pretending to be ignorant and didn't help. Now that his son-in-law is a scholar, he can't blame others if he doesn't get close to him, his father-in-law.

Han Ze noticed that Mr. Wang was not in a good mood, so he smiled indifferently. Although the old man regarded his son-in-law by his status, he didn't like it, but he wouldn't say much. But it is impossible for him to pretend that nothing exists.

Of course, he is not the original body, and he has no resentment towards the old man. He can only say that others climbed high and trampled him because he did not climb high enough. When he climbs to a certain height, is he still worried that others will step on him?

Although the family has little money, Mrs. Han is willing to spend money, and the meals are well prepared. Big fish and big meat filled the table. Both Mr. Wang and Mrs. Zheng's and Mrs. Wu's natal family were very satisfied with the food.

After drinking and eating, Mrs. Wang Xu watched her daughter tidy up and took her to her room. Wang Caiwei looked at her: "Mom, what's wrong?"

Wang Xu took her hand and said with red eyes: "Caiwei, mother is ashamed of you."

Wang Caiwei was taken aback for a moment, then slowly lowered her head, pursed her lips tightly, and said nothing.

Seeing her expression, Wang Xu knew that her daughter still blamed her, and her voice was choked up: "You are already married, mother has to think about yourself, you understand mother..."

Wang Caiwei broke free from her, looked up at her, and said softly, "Mother, I understand you, so I didn't say anything."

The mother said, the water poured out by the married girl. She went back to her mother's house to borrow money, but if her mother didn't lend it to her, she would not say anything, no matter how much pain she had, she could swallow it, but she was just sad.

Mrs. Wang Xu wiped her moist eye sockets with a handkerchief, and said happily, "It's good if you can understand my mother."

Then he took out ten taels of silver, handed it to her, and said with a smile: "Your father prepared the money. My son-in-law is going to study in the county and needs money. You can use it for your son-in-law's study."

Wang Caiwei pushed her hand and said seriously: "Mother, no need, the family is not short of money."

It is really unnecessary. Last night, Xianggong told her that Lianruo's family gave her money and told her not to accept it.

Wang Xu looked at her and said angrily: "You don't want to accept the money, are you still angry with your mother?"

Wang Caiwei shook her head and said, "Mother, you're talking about a married girl, the water that was thrown out. I'm already married, so I can't ask for any more money from you. You should keep this money for your younger brother to study."

Xianggong said that his copying speed is faster now, and he can finish copying a set of Four Books and Five Classics in more than two months. He is in good health, and the family will not be short of money. There is no need to accept other people's aid, and the debt of favor is hard to repay.

Wang Xushi looked at her sternly: "You really don't want it?"

Wang Caiwei shook her head firmly.

Wang Xu asked her in a deep voice, with red eyes: "Are you going to sever contact with us?"

Wang Caiwei frowned: "Mother, why did you say that? At the beginning, my husband was in poor health, and I went back to borrow money. You told me that I was married, and your money was left to my younger brother. Now that my husband is in good health, he was awarded a scholar. There is no shortage of money in the family, why do you need your money? How can I cut off contact with you?"

Wang Xu choked, glared at her, and said bitterly: "Just be angry with me."

Wang Caiwei lowered her eyebrows and said, "Mother, I'm not angry with you. I'm just telling the truth. I don't understand why mother is angry?"

Wang Xu choked again, only the truth can make people angry. Think about it too, when people are in trouble, they come to borrow money, and you don't borrow a penny. People are no longer in trouble, they are promising in a blink of an eye, and there is no shortage of money in their hands, and you are rushing to give money to others. Anyone with a bit of backbone would not accept that money.

She also took it for granted, thinking that it was her daughter, and a daughter would never be angry with her mother. Unexpectedly, the daughter is married and has a new family, and her thoughts and worries are all related to her husband's family.

On this side, Mrs. Wang Xu dragged her daughter to talk privately, and Mrs. Zheng was also dragged into the house by her mother to talk.

Zheng's mother, Mrs. Zheng, looked at her daughter and asked, "What are you planning?"

Zheng Shi looked at her strangely: "What did you plan?"

Mrs. Zheng nodded her forehead, and said angrily: "The boss of the Han family has won a scholar, so you don't have any ideas?"

Mrs. Zheng said amusedly: "It's good for our family that the eldest brother is selected as a scholar. What can I think? Is it possible to let Erlang learn from the elder brother and also go to be a scholar? Not to mention that Erlang is old, even when he was young, he also I don’t have the ability to read.”

Mrs. Zheng glared at her, then she said, "Do you still want to separate?"

Mrs. Zheng said without even thinking about it: "I definitely can't separate the family. Eldest brother has become a first-class scholar. Not only can he receive six buckets of rice every month, but he can also receive four taels of silver every year. The family land is also tax-free. I don't know how much it is to live together." Happy, why do you want to break up?"

She didn't understand it before, and she didn't know why the whole family had to save food and money for the eldest brother to study, but now she knows. Because there are so many benefits to being a scholar in the exam.

What she didn't say was that the eldest brother and sister-in-law have no selfishness, and they are dedicated to the family. They are in good health, and they make up for the family when they earn money. From now on, when the eldest brother lives well, he will definitely not forget his two younger brothers. Thinking of this, she is even more unwilling to separate. home.

Mrs. Zheng had a smile on her face, and said: "You are not too stupid, it's not that you can't separate your family. But you can receive food and money. Mother thinks that is secondary. What matters is that you have a scholar in your family. In a few villages, no one dares to look down on you, let alone bully you. Even if a few children grow up to look at their wives, they can still pick out the good ones, and you will know the benefits gradually."

Mrs. Zheng didn't think so far, her vision was low, and she could only see the things in front of her eyes, "I only know that since my elder brother recovered, I have never been hungry, and I can still have a meal from time to time to satisfy my cravings. Now, elder brother If I pass the exam, the life of the family will be better, and my mother-in-law is not a stingy person, so I will eat more meticulously, so I won't split up the family stupidly, watching them eat meat, I can't even drink soup."

Mrs. Zheng glared at her and said, "How do you know how to eat?"

Zheng frowned, and said disapprovingly: "That man doesn't talk about food in his life, what is he talking about? He can't fill his stomach, so what's the motivation for living?"

Mrs. Zheng also knew that it would not make sense to her, so she asked in a low voice: "Your elder brother's Dahu is ten years old this year. He has a flexible mind and is good at reading. Maybe he will be admitted as a scholar in the future. You see, he is worthy of Jinxiu." wake up?"

"What?"

Zheng stared at her with wide eyes. After a long while, she couldn't help rolling her eyes and exclaimed: "How big is Jinxiu, and you are thinking too far."

Mrs. Zheng wanted to knock her on the head again, "Dahu is not that big, he is only two or three years older than Jinxiu. Not to mention two or three years older, even five years older, it is very suitable."

Mrs. Zheng frowned and said, "Why do you think of this? Who came up with the idea? Don't you be a sister-in-law?"

It's not that she looks down on her nephew, but that her eldest brother is a scholar. She can tell that he has a very picky eye. He must not like Dug's tiger-headed and tiger-headed appearance, not to mention that his eldest brother is now a scholar.

I heard from my man that the eldest brother will continue to take the Juren examination. If the eldest brother becomes a Juren, would a Juren be willing to marry his daughter to a farmer's family? It's impossible even if you think about it, my natal family is really whimsical.

Mrs. Zheng coughed and said, "I think your sister-in-law is right. Our two families are in-laws. If Jinxiu marries into our family, we will definitely not treat her badly."

Mrs. Zheng rolled her eyes, and said in her heart that what you think is quite beautiful, and whether she will marry Dahu is still uncertain.

"Mother, this is unreliable, don't think about it." She said seriously.

Mrs. Zheng also said seriously: "It's really unreliable to change to Erhu, but Dahu is good at studying. If he passes the examination of scholar in the future, he will be worthy of Jinxiu. Otherwise, how can I agree with your sister-in-law?" Proposal."

Every elder who loves their children believes in their children very much, just like Mrs. Han believes that Han Ze will be a scholar.

Mrs. Zheng still felt unreliable: "Then let's wait until the big tiger wins the show before talking about it."

Who can be selected as a scholar, even the elder brother, who has been admitted for many years, is a scholar.

Mrs. Zheng tugged at her arm: "You child, we have to take advantage of Jinxiu's young age and no one else will think of it, to confirm the marriage. When Duhu wins a scholar, the day lily will be cold. Mother mentioned this , also for your own good."

Zheng Shi looked at her: "Why is it for me?"

In her opinion, it has nothing to do with her.

Mrs. Zheng said slowly: "Think about it, Boss Han won the prize of a scholar, and Erlang won the prize of a scholar. After all, there is a layer of separation. If Jinxiu marries into our family, will it be equivalent to getting closer? Is Boss Han getting closer?"

Mrs. Zheng lowered her head, thought for a while, and felt that this was not the case. Erlang and eldest brother are blood brothers. They are already close, how can they be close?

She said reluctantly: "Mother, anyway, I don't think this matter is reliable. If you don't give up, you can bring this matter up with them yourself and see if they agree to you."

Mrs. Zheng blocked her and said angrily: "How can I open my mouth? Your sister-in-law is mild-tempered and easy to talk. You can ask her for your mother if you agree with a sentence. It's rare for my mother to order you to do something. Would you like to help my mother?"

Mrs. Zheng was in a dilemma. In the past, she would just ask, but now that her elder brother is a scholar, and the whole family counts on him, it is difficult for her to say these things. She is afraid of offending her elder brother. But it doesn't show that it's easy to talk.

She couldn't help complaining: "Mother, aren't you embarrassing me?"

Mrs. Zheng's face darkened: "Mother loves you so much, but she just asked you to ask a question. You push back and forth, so it's useless to love you. If you have anything to do in the future, don't ask your mother."

Mrs. Zheng panicked, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'll ask for you, I'll ask for you."

Mrs. Zheng had a smile on her face, and urged: "Go and ask."

Mrs. Zheng lingered and didn't want to go, Mrs. Zheng stared at her, and Mrs. Zheng walked out cruelly. As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw Wang Caiwei and her mother coming out of the room. She took a step forward and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I want to talk to you."

Wang Caiwei looked at Wang Xushi: "Mother, sit down first, I'll come later."

Wang Xu's mood was not high, she said: "Go and do your work."

Wang Caiwei looked at Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Zheng dragged her into the yard, looked at her shyly, and didn't know what to say, her mother really made things difficult for her.

Wang Caiwei looked at her rare awkward look, and said amusedly, "What's the matter? Is there anything we can't talk about as a family?"

Zheng Shi asked: "Sister-in-law, can I tell you?"

Wang Caiwei had no choice but to say, "Let's talk."

Gritting her teeth, Zheng said cruelly, "Sister-in-law, isn't Jinxiu eight years old?"

Wang Caiwei smiled and said, "I just turned eight years old last month."

Mrs. Zheng said: "Dahu from my natal elder brother's family is ten years old this year. He has a flexible mind and is good at reading. He may not be a scholar in the future. Do you think he is suitable for Jinxiu?"

Wang Caiwei was startled, but she didn't expect her to ask this question. After a while, she frowned and said, "You mean your natal nephew?"

Mrs. Zheng nodded and said with a smile, "I'm just asking, it doesn't matter if it's okay or not. Even if you don't want it, I can understand."

Wang Caiwei took a deep breath and said awkwardly: "I can't decide this matter, I need to ask your elder brother's opinion."

Of course, Mrs. Zheng also knew that this matter must be passed through her elder brother, she hurriedly said: "You should ask your elder brother. Then you can ask, if your elder brother agrees, I will go back to my mother."

Wang Caiwei frowned: "Does it need to be so urgent?"

It's time for them to think about it.

Zheng Shi choked, and couldn't tell her, she thought that her elder brother would not agree, so she quickly rejected her mother, lest she think too much.

In the main room, Mr. Wang was bidding farewell to Han Ze. Wang Caiwei glanced at his sister-in-law apologetically, and said, "I'll see off my parents first."

Zheng Shi said, "Okay."

After seeing off the Wang family, Wang Caiwei called Han Ze aside, and asked in a low voice, "Erlang's wife's nephew is ten years old this year. He is quick-witted and good at reading. Just now Erlang's wife asked me if Jinxiu and her nephew are compatible?"

Han Ze's face darkened immediately after hearing her words: "The toad wants to eat swan meat, dreaming."

He didn't expect that someone would miss Jinxiu just after she turned eight years old, he really couldn't bear it.

Wang Caiwei was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect her husband-in-law to be so angry, but she was not too angry. In her opinion, although the child was engaged at the age of eight or nine, although it was earlier, it was not impossible to consider if it was suitable.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Han Ze seriously warned, "Tell Mrs. Zheng not to think about it. My Han Ze's daughter doesn't marry until she's twenty years old. She's just messing around."

After speaking, he flung his sleeves and entered the room. When he arrived in the room, he was a little embarrassed. When he first heard that others were thinking about his daughter, his blood surged. He never thought that early marriage and early childbearing are popular in this era. Get married and become an old girl.

Even so, he didn't want Jinxiu to get engaged early, everything will be discussed after he wins the Juren. Then the Zheng family wanted Jinxiu to get engaged to their child, because they thought he was a scholar.

Wang Caiwei stared blankly at the back of Xianggong who was angry, it was really angry and funny.

Mrs. Zheng walked over from the side, opened her mouth and asked, "How is it? Big brother disagrees?"

Wang Caiwei shook her head, not only disagreed, but also scolded someone. Thinking whether to laugh or cry, she has been married to her husband for so long, but she has never heard him scold anyone, so she thinks she is out of breath.

Zheng Shi breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that her elder brother would not agree.
