Zhou got up early in the morning and asked Lin without seeing her, but the family was very perfunctory to her and didn't want to tell the truth, only Hu Xiaohong was a little clear-headed, and felt that if Jiang Qingmao really had a chance in the future, he would have to pull his brothers, so he hurriedly told Zhou about Lin's plan.

Zhou was very angry when he heard this, and hurriedly rushed to the county, and finally stopped Lin on the way and brought Jiang Qingmao back. Jiang Qingmao was embarrassed, he always felt that he had burdened Jiang Xuehe and Gu Siyan, and he also knew in his heart that as long as he continued to stay in the Gu family, such things could continue to happen, so even if he wanted to go back, he helped the Lin family persuade the Zhou family, he didn't want to cause trouble to Jiang Xuehe and them anymore. Zhou said that she would solve other things, and dragged Jiang Qingmao back.

"Grandmother means to pass on Brother Mao?" Jiang Xuehe was shocked when she heard Zhou's plan.

The Jiang family is actually four brothers, and the Zhou family also has a younger son, who died when he was only raised at the age of three.

Zhou sighed: "I can't help it, who knows what Lin is crazy about?" Who's not going to be able to read for whoever can read? But she wholeheartedly provided for Brother Sen, and when she thought Brother Sen was doing well in the exam, she was also happy to see Brother Mao'er's progress. But now she finds that Brother Sen doesn't like to read anymore, and she doesn't want Brother Mao to continue reading. ”

"But ......"

"I just said that the fourth child gave me a dream, I can't bear to see the fourth child worship every festival, so I just have to follow one. Anyway, Dafang has four sons, and Brother Mao is the least likable to them, so what does it matter if he gives us the fourth? Zhou didn't care, "I know that the boss and his daughter-in-law are definitely unwilling, but are they willing to tighten?" ”

"......" Jiang Xuehe thought to herself, this old lady is really unreasonable as always. The filial piety she used when she was forced to give people joy at the beginning, and now she wants to force Brother Mao to pass the same reason. Although I feel that the old lady has always relied on filial piety to suppress people and is not very kind, this matter is something that Jiang Xuehe is happy to see.

She wasn't sure if Jiang Qingmao was the only good bamboo shoot that grew out of the big house, but it was undoubtedly a pity to let Brother Mao stop school now.

Zhou knew what she was thinking when she saw Jiang Xuehe's eyes, but she didn't have a weak heart, anyway, everything had already been done, no matter how weak her heart was, it would be useless, it was better to do things well in the future.

Zhou said again: "I have asked the boss to bring the Lin family back first, and there is no need for Brother Mao to come forward for the succession, as long as Brother Mao nods now, I will help him handle it directly after I go back." ”

Jiang Qingmao was a little hesitant, although his father and mother were indeed a little biased, but before Jiang Qingsen's grades were exposed, his family had never treated him badly, wouldn't it be good to pass him like this directly?

Zhou Shi said again: "After the succession, they will no longer be able to meddle in your affairs casually, but you can still honor them." How much can you honor them if you dig in the field every day? If you can get ahead in the future and be able to honor them a little, you have to think about all this. ”

Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "What grandma said is also reasonable, the nurturing grace of the eldest uncle and eldest aunt must be repaid, and if Brother Mao has a better future in the future, there will be more things to do for them." Speaking of which, you've read books for so many years, and although you've been in the ground, wouldn't it be a pity if you really had to dig in the ground? Even if you can get a showman, it's easier to find a decent job in the town or county, isn't it? ”

Jiang Qingmao was finally moved, so he nodded in agreement.

Zhou sighed and stuffed a purse into his hand and said: "This is most of my private room, you can save some use in the future, if you have anything to tell me in the future, just let Brother Ya'er say a little, and don't come back." At least don't come back until you get in or give up studying. ”

Jiang Qingmao was startled, and hurriedly pushed the purse into Zhou's arms: "How can I ask grandma for your private room?" ”

Jiang Xuehe also said: "Yes, with me here, I will not be wronged Brother Mao, grandma can rest assured." ”

"I know you are a reasonable person, and as long as you brothers and sisters do not offend you, you will not embarrass them. But it's nothing for you to give him a bite to eat and drink, do you still want to wrap up his shackles? Zhou sighed and said, "I naturally know that you can afford it, but if that's the case, Brother Mao will not feel at ease." Besides, I have been worried about this money by the big house all day long, and if I don't get rid of it now, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it myself in the future. In that case, it is better to give it to the people I feel most in need first. ”

Jiang Xuehe felt that it was rare for this old lady to be sober once, and she was more patient when she talked to her: "But you always have to leave some silver by your side to support the elderly, right?" ”

"Don't worry, your third uncle has never shortened my pension money, and I have left ten taels there. Besides, the jewelry that your mother gave me at the beginning is still there, and I can't treat myself badly. Zhou smiled.

Jiang Xuehe didn't persuade again, although she didn't know how much jewelry her mother had sent to the Zhou family back then, but it would not be less after all, if she really wanted to take it out, it would not be a problem to make up a hundred and eighty taels. But it didn't get to the point where she needed Zhou's jewelry, and now that the two younger brothers haven't grown up, she has to replace the two of them to fulfill Zhou's filial piety, otherwise their reputation in the second room will be over.

In the end, Jiang Xuehe persuaded Jiang Qingmao to accept Zhou's purse, anyway, the money will eventually fall into the hands of Dafang, Jiang Qingmao is also a person from Dafang, and it is not much different to Jiang Xuehe. As for the rest, she will not treat Jiang Qingmao badly, anyway, she has covered all the food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are also from her side, and the rest needs to be spent very little, and the silver that Zhou gave him is enough.

Zhou's action this time was very fast, and within a few days, he went to the county to tell Jiang Xuehe and Jiang Qingmao that he had now been passed by, and nominally he had become a child of the Jiang family's fourth room, and that the big house would no longer be able to make decisions for him in the future, and he explained to him that he wanted him to study hard or something. These are nothing, what makes Jiang Xuehe feel uneasy is that Zhou gave her another package when she left, Jiang Xuehe opened it and saw that it was all the jewelry that her mother gave to Zhou.

"Speaking of which, I don't need such things as an old woman, so you can keep these things, whether it's Brother Mao's food expenses here, or as Brother Mao'er's future wife. It's just that if you are a wife, these things are a bit old, and you can take them to make a new style. ”

Jiang Xuehe hurriedly said that her posture was wrong, as if she was explaining what was going on: "Did grandma encounter something?" ”

Zhou smiled: "What can I encounter?" It's just that Peach Blossom stole a bracelet two days ago, and I don't think it's safe to put these things there for me, so I might as well leave them to you for safekeeping. ”

"That's it?" Jiang Xuehe didn't believe it.

"That's it, you don't need to think about it, am I the kind of person who would wronged myself? If anything, I'll tell you a long time ago. Okay, I'll stay longer, I'll go back first. Brother Mao, you help me take care of it more, in the end, they are all children of the Jiang family, and if you can read one more, it is not our entire Jiang family that grows in the end? Therefore, you should do whatever you want to him, and you must not indulge him in the same way that Brother Sen'er has such a character. ”

These Jiang Xuehe naturally agreed, she has never been close to Jiang Qingmao, and she would not have indulged him. She just felt that Zhou's state was a little strange, but Zhou's seemed to be in good spirits, Jiang Xuehe thought that she was probably too careful, so she didn't say anything and let Zhou leave.

In the days that followed, because the Lin family did not come to disturb him, Jiang Qingmao's spirit became better and better, and his reading was even more rapid every day, and he would soon be able to follow Gu Sixing and a few of them to talk. This is naturally something that everyone is happy to see, but Jiang Xuehe is faintly worried, she always feels that the Lin family is not this kind of person who can be easily stopped, and she doesn't know if the Zhou family will be exhausted if she stops her at home every day.

Not long after, Jiang Hanxiao brought her a piece of news, saying that now the Zhou family is in their third room for retirement.

Jiang Hanxiao was unhappy in her heart, how partial this old lady was when she split up back then, almost all the things in the house were given to the big house. It's been the same for so many years, she only thinks about the big house everywhere, and she doesn't know how much oil and water she has taken from the second and third rooms for the big house. Now she is having a hard time in the big house, so she went to the third room.

Jiang Xuehe said strangely: "Why did it suddenly become a three-room pension?" ”

Jiang Han pouted with a smile and said: "It's not sudden, since Brother Mao was passed on to the fourth room, the relationship between grandma and Dafang has become worse and worse." The eldest aunt yelled at grandma every day that she was not, and once she was listened to by grandma, she quarreled directly with the eldest aunt, and told the public why she wanted Brother Mao to pass on the matter, and shook out a lot of unkind things that the eldest aunt had done, and the eldest aunt was angry, so she pushed grandma. ”

"Is Grandma okay?" Jiang Xuehe didn't expect the Lin family to dare to do this kind of thing in front of everyone, but it seems that since the Lin family's reputation has been broken, she has become more and more unscrupulous in doing things, this is probably a broken jar, right?

"It wasn't anything at the time, it just flashed my waist. Later, Jiang Taohua went to her grandmother's room to steal things, it is said that she had stolen a few times before, sometimes she succeeded, and sometimes she was caught, but that day Jiang Taohua turned her grandmother's room upside down but didn't find anything. Jiang Taohua was unwilling to turn over, she refused to leave, but she was caught by her grandmother again, the two of them quarreled again, and grandma was pushed again, and she almost couldn't get up. Jiang Han said with a smile and was a little unbearable, "The people in the whole big room actually watched her sitting on the ground and howling, no one helped her, and then my father and my mother rushed over to pick people up." ”

Jiang Xuehe frowned: "Why did it become like this?" I remember that the second sister-in-law was unprofitable and couldn't afford to be early, didn't she help either? ”

In the past, when grandma had a good fortune in hand, she was really willing to help, but grandma said that all her private rooms were posted to the fourth room, after all, the fourth room had to take care of the only seedling that passed by. The people of the big house knew that they could no longer reap the benefits of grandma, so they simply left her alone. Jiang Hanxiao was filled with indignation.

Even if she didn't like the Zhou family since she was a child, she felt that the big house was too bad.
