Grandma Xie has always disliked Liu Ruolan's daughter-in-law, mainly because she doesn't like her second son, and now she feels that she is taking advantage of it, and she has no scruples when she speaks.

"You think clearly, you are the second wife, and no one can get past you. You have been married for many years, and you have only got a sister Zhao so far, if it was in the past, I heard that the grandfather meant that the second child is expected to take the township test next year, is it possible to make him a dignified man who has no children under his knees? ”

Liu Ruolan's face turned pale and pale.

"Don't blame me, an old woman, for being troublesome, the long room and the third room have Zi Zhu to inherit the incense, what about the second child? In the future, when the two of you are old, who will be filial piety in front of you? ”

Liu Ruolan's lips trembled, and she didn't dare to raise her head to look at her mother-in-law.

Grandma Xie's words pierced her heart one after another.

"Sister Zhao is young, but she will marry sooner or later. If you have no children, who will support Sister Zhao in the future? My mother's family doesn't even have a capable helper, what if Sister Zhao is bullied? ”

Liu Ruolan raised her eyes and wanted to say that she still had a few nephews, but she always felt that she couldn't say it confidently.

Grandma Xie also seemed to anticipate her thoughts, shook her head and said, "You have to understand that Zi Hui in the long room and the third room are separated from you after all. That's different, and there are some things that are still very different from my cousin's uncle. ”

Liu Ruolan lowered her head again, only she knew how sad she was.

When Grandma Xie saw her behaving like this, she knew that she had taken her seven inches.

Hmph, do you really think that the Liu family has made some progress, so you dare to shout with his Xie family?

Pay back the dowry!

Do you really think you can't do anything about her?

Now it's just a mention of the concubine, which makes Liu Ruolan so unbearable, if she really lets the concubine room enter the door in the future, this Liu Ruolan's sad days are ahead!

Grandma Xie had made up her mind not to make the second room happy, so she was really already thinking about the candidate for Xie Xiuwen's concubine.

Of course, Grandpa Xie didn't know about this matter, only she and the Gao family knew the inside story.

The Gao family is also happy to see Liu Ruolan aggrieved, who let her be lucky to borrow the power of her mother's family?

If it weren't for the fact that the concubine needed a man's seal or a handprint, Grandma Xie would have thought about taking the woman over first.

When Xie Xiuwen arrived home, he found that the atmosphere at home was not quite right, especially his wife's sad face, which made him think that something big had happened at home.

Knowing that it was because of the concubine, Xie Xiuwen was not in a hurry at all.

"I have no intention of taking a concubine, you don't have to take this matter to heart."

Liu Ruolan's heart was relieved, and at the same time she felt guilty: "But in the end, I am incompetent, and I have not been able to give birth to a son to my husband." ”

"What are these words! Sons and daughters are the same in my eyes. Aren't we good babies? ”

Of course, Liu Ruolan also likes her daughter, but in the end, she feels that without a son, she can't live confidently in her in-law's family.

"I know that you are dedicated to me, but the fate of children is not in a hurry, we are still young, since we can give birth to a good baby, there will always be another in the future."

Liu Ruolan stopped talking.

Yes, she can give birth, otherwise there would be no good baby.

But the problem is that it's been a few years, and the bed between their husband and wife is harmonious, why can't they get pregnant for a long time?

The next day, Grandma Xie brought up the old matter again.

It's just that this time it's mainly to Xie Xiuwen.

Xie Xiuwen refused expressionlessly: "Mother, don't mention the matter of concubines again, I have known Ruolan since I was a child and have been friends for many years, do you want me to be a negative man?" ”

Grandpa Xie on the side also felt that the second child was still young and was not in a hurry to take a concubine and have children.

But Grandma Xie doesn't think so!

"Second child, I'm also good for you. You are now thirty-two in your twenties, and everyone else may be the father of three sons at this age. You only have one Sister Zhao now, and Liu's stomach has not moved in the past few years, so you really don't want to think about the future? ”

Xie Xiuwen said in a deep voice: "Ah Niang, you should know that I intend to take the township test again next year, and now that I haven't won the promotion, I have already taken a concubine, do you think your son's reputation is bad enough fast?" ”

Grandpa Xie chuckled in his heart, and his face was much more solemn than before.

"Father, the Liu family has two talented people, and the eldest brother is now working in the county government, I won't hide it from you, I went home for a reunion this time, and my husband also left homework for me, I still have to think of a way to ask my uncle to help." If I take a concubine, where do I have the face to ask my uncle for help? ”

Grandpa Xie was concerned: "But what happened?" ”

Xie Xiuwen shook his head and paused before saying, "It's some homework about taxation." My uncle works in Yamen, and he knows some of the affairs in our county in detail, so I can't scribble them all in the dark and hand them over, right? Also, if you can get more suggestions from your uncle, it will also be helpful in terms of policy in the future. ”

Grandma Xie doesn't think so.

Then Boss Liu is also a talent, and his ranking back then was not as good as Xie Xiuwen, how could he be mentioned?

Grandpa Xie is not a woman trapped in the inner house, so he naturally understands what his son means.

Officialdom can't really be just talk on paper.

"What you said makes sense, your uncles are good, and the things of the good treasure have not been less contribution, if you go to find Boss Liu to mention something, you still have to bring a generous gift."

"Yes, father."

Grandpa Xie made a direct decision here, and Grandma Xie naturally had no chance to start again.

Although Grandma Xie was angry in her heart, it was not impossible.

In the evening, Grandma Xie called Gao over to talk.

"It's good for me to look at that Miss Cui, wait for two days for you to find a reason to bring her home, I have my own arrangements."

Gao's heart was like playing a drum, both a little excited and a little apprehensive.

"A-Niang, is this too risky? I think since the second brother is unwilling, why don't we think of other ways? ”

Grandma Xie glared at her, how could this Gao's brain become more and more inflexible.

"It's because he doesn't want to, so we can only make a ruthless move. Alright, I'll do as I say. When the time comes, you can find a way to send Liu's mother and daughter out, and then let them come back when the matter is done. ”

Gao thought it was a good idea.

And as long as the Gao family thought of Liu Ruolan's heartbroken picture when she saw her husband and another concubine, her heart was full of joy.

Xie Xiuwen took a generous gift and went directly to the Liu family restaurant in the county.

But it just so happened that Boss Liu was not on duty today, so he happened to help in the restaurant.

"My brother-in-law is here, come in and sit."

Xie Xiuwen saluted and said: "I'm bothering the eldest brother, there are really some things that need to be consulted by the eldest brother, and it is rude for Zicheng to come in a hurry." ”
