Uncle 2's Blame
Chapter 1034 Second Uncle's Black Pot
Qin Xiaogu paused and asked, "There's a lot going on right now. If you ask for leave now to go home and be with me, will it affect your performance review?"
Ha, Guan Shuli laughed: "I don't need this. Taking care of you is the most important thing now. Besides, your brother from the Quan clan has been through a lot and is more than capable of managing Taifeng Town now. There is no need for me to take care of him every day."
Aunt Qin thought for a moment and said, "If it doesn't affect you, please take a leave and go home to accompany me."
In fact, she didn't want her husband to accompany her, she just wanted him to have a good rest.
Since she settled down, the customs clerks she saw were all busy with official duties day and night, which was really tiring.
Seeing the pain in Qin Xiaogu's eyes, the clerk felt a pang of pain in his heart. He nodded and said, "Then I'll write a letter of request for leave and send it to the county government office. It will definitely be approved."
If he is not approved, he will be absent from work.
This was the first time Shu Jie'er asked him for something, so he had to do it.
"Okay." Qin Xiaogu smiled and answered Guan Shuli's questions for a long time before she calmed the nervous heart of the future father.
After calming himself down, the clerk went to write a request for leave… He didn't specify the real reason, as his wife wasn't even three months old yet, so it was hard to share. He simply wrote that he'd been busy for years and that he wanted to go home early this year to be with his grandmother and fulfill his filial duty.
After writing it, he asked the driver to send it to the county town.
After finishing the work, he and Madam Guan announced to all the servants in the house: "A reward of two taels of silver to each of you to celebrate the addition of happiness to the family."
This is to save face for Qin Xiaogu.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the newly transferred servants understood that the old lady, the master of the house, valued Qin Xiaogu very much. This was a reminder for them to do their job with all their heart and not do anything to cause Qin Xiaogu trouble.
Nanny Chen and You Xing You Yu led the way, bringing the servants to express their gratitude: "Slave, thank you for the reward, Master!"
"Well, do your job well. When you have a little master at home, you will get a reward." The clerk at the customs spoke more worldly words today.
"Yes, I'll remember that." The servants responded, went to Nanny Chen, received the silver, and returned to their posts to continue their work.
Because of Qin Xiaogu's pregnancy, the Guan family was filled with a strong atmosphere of joy and vitality. Nanny Chen sighed in her heart: The eldest wife is really the savior of this family. After she married in, the family had a sense of homeliness.
……
The Qin family was also full of joy. When Grandpa Qin returned home in the evening, he learned the good news that his daughter was pregnant. He and Grandma Qin worshipped heaven and earth together, praying for the blessing of a safe and smooth pregnancy for Aunt Qin.
The two elders were afraid that Second Aunt Qin would feel upset and would have a bad New Year, so after some discussion, they asked Grandma Qin to give Second Aunt Qin a house deed in the county town, three hundred taels of silver notes, and a ten-tael gold ingot.
"Mother-in-law, these things are too valuable. They are assets that other families cannot earn in generations. I can't accept them." Aunt Qin hurriedly declined.
Grandma Qin said, "Second daughter-in-law, it's not easy for us women to live in this world. We need to have some real estate in our hands to feel at ease."
"And this is the way out that mother-in-law gave you, so please accept it."
After thinking for a moment, she decided to be frank: "Your second son's stubbornness has only caused you great suffering... Consider these things as our apology to you on his behalf." She was referring to the fact that Aunt Qin had never had children.
Xun Lao had said that the second son and his wife were both healthy and fertile, so why hadn't they had any children? It was because the second son, having been repeatedly framed and imprisoned, had become disillusioned with the world and was unwilling to have children.
"The second son is an enemy of the world. We, as his parents, are useless. We can't force him to bow to the world. It's just hard for you..." Grandma Qin couldn't help crying again as she spoke. Finally, she begged Aunt Qin: "Mother Rong, the Qin family has let you down. Please accept these things."
"If the second son does you wrong in the future, the family will kick him out and keep you at home... If you want to leave, the family will ask someone to get you a household registration, and you can live on your own."
"Anyway, since the second brother harmed you, the Qin family will definitely take care of you for the rest of your life."
These heartfelt words stunned Second Aunt Qin. After she came to her senses, she wiped Grandma Qin's tears and said, "Don't cry, Grandma. I've accepted the gifts and will keep them for the Qin family."
Then she said, "Mother-in-law, my husband has never wronged me. On the contrary, he saved me and gave me a chance to live. As for the child..."
Second Aunt Qin smiled brightly and said, "Actually, this is the result of our discussion... My brother was also framed and dismissed from office, and our family fell apart overnight. I was affected by this incident and also felt that there was no need to rush into having children before we had established ourselves."
This?
"Child, you don't have to make amends for that evil boy, the second son. In the final analysis, you are the one who suffers." Grandma Qin didn't believe it. After all, in this world, if a woman doesn't have a child after getting married, she will suffer more.
Alas, Aunt Qin sighed in her heart...Qin Zhuang, I told the truth. It was my mother-in-law who didn't believe me. That's not my fault. You have to take the blame for now.
"Thank you, mother-in-law. I'll accept the things and live a good life with my husband." Aunt Qin knew that Grandma Qin was an old woman and couldn't be persuaded, so she simply accepted everything and accepted the things to put Grandma Qin at ease.
"Hey, hey, keep it well." Grandma Qin was indeed happy, and her heart was relieved. She said, "Grandma will save some more for you, and give you more property to support yourself next year."
"Thank you, mother-in-law. No, you are my biological mother. Being your daughter-in-law is the blessing I, Gu Rongniang, earned in my previous life." Aunt Qin said nicely and stroked Grandma Qin's fur.
Grandma Qin was so happy that she cursed Uncle Qin fiercely: "That unfilial son was lucky enough to marry you in his previous life, but he didn't appreciate it and insisted on making trouble."
Uncle Qin, who was not present, said: "It smells good from afar, but stinks up close. When I wasn't back, my parents missed me so much. Now, two years after I came back, they want to hang me up and beat me to death!"
And there is also this "evil woman" Gu Rongniang, who tries to put the blame on me whenever I'm not at home, and I can't bear it anymore if she keeps putting the blame on me.
Second Aunt Qin: "Mother-in-law, Xiao Mi, Xiao Gu, Xiao Mai, Xiao Zhu, and Er Lang all respect me very much. With them around, I'll have someone to rely on in my old age. Please don't worry too much about us, the second branch. Be more cheerful and take better care of yourself. You still have grandchildren to look after."
"Yes, yes, Xiaomi, Xiaogu, Xiaomai, and your unborn nephew will all take care of you and the second brother in your old age." Grandma Qin thought about her daughter's pregnancy and the grandson she would have, and she finally got rid of her worries and felt completely better.
Knock knock knock, Jiang Xiaozhu knocked on the window and shouted, "Grandma Qin, Second Aunt Qin, Sister Xiaomi wants us to have dinner and says to finish it quickly because we have to continue working late into the night!"
"Here you come. Still working late into the night after eating? Xiaomi is a bitch, and everyone in the family works as a laborer for her." Grandma Qin complained about Qin Xiaomi, but her tone was smiling.
Aunt Qin felt relieved. She went out of the house and came to the front shop. After seeing Qin Xiaomi, she nodded to her, indicating that her mission of coaxing her mother-in-law was successfully completed.
but……
"Who is Zhou Paopi?"
People at home always talk about Zhou Paopi, but Aunt Qin is a person who has read a lot of books. She really has never heard of who Zhou Paopi is?
Qin Xiaomi chuckled and began to make up stories: "I heard about this guy while fleeing from famine. He was said to be a particularly black-hearted boss who was always thinking about exploiting the workers."
