Zhou Ma's idea, although he can clear his suspicion of whistleblowing, and continue to maintain the image of a "good person" in front of his stepmother-in-law, husband and stepson, but also transfers the risk to his sister and brother-in-law's family.

Although Haixi Cliff is now transferred to Chang'an, it is for Tao Yue, the new household servant, but the Zhou family is a behemoth on the territory of Chang'an, and he still needs many places to take care of the Zhou family in the future. Not to mention anything else, he wants to try to grow new grain in the capital of Shaanxi, without the convenience of the generals of the Zhou faction, it will be much more difficult to act, and it will take a long time to choose the site of the experimental field.

Although the Zhou family of the Zhenguo Mansion is now in order to have many years of friendship with Haixiya and Xie Wenzai and others, as well as the relationship between Tao Yue, plus the bumper harvest of new grain is also beneficial to the overall situation of the border army, it is unlikely to hinder the work of Haixiya. But after all, Zhou Shigong is quite prestigious in the family, and he is also number one in the Chang'an realm. If he doesn't like Haixi Cliff, he doesn't have to do it himself, he just needs to show a little breath, and someone will come out to "share his worries" for him. Who will be harmed then?

The third room of the Zhou family is headed by Mrs. Ma, and Zhou Shigong is also obedient to this stepmother, and the former is not a person who takes care of the overall situation. If she would think about the border army and the Zhou family, she would not have connived at her stepgrandson to pry the corner of the border army's glass workshop. She also arranged for her subordinates to fill her step-grandson Zhou Jinpu's glass workshop, saying that she wanted to help him, but in fact, she was not taking the opportunity to install people, learn the glass making process, and prepare for her own workshop in the future?

Zhou Ma pushed the risk to his sister and brother-in-law, he kept his image and industry, but who should he turn to for help when Haixi Cliff encountered trouble in work and interpersonal relationships?

Of course, it was impossible for him to go to Tao Yue. Tao Yue certainly had the heart to take care of him, but it was all for Xie Wenzai's sake. Moreover, this care was not given in vain. Tao Yue promoted Haixi Cliff, and he also expected him to do something practical!

Ma has listened to her husband talk about work all the year round, and has also experienced various intrigues between the border guards and is quite insightful. is not like the eldest sister Zhou Ma, who has been trapped in the inner house since she got married, and only has grievances and entanglements on her own one-third of an acre of land in her eyes. She immediately figured out Zhou Ma's train of thought, and also saw what kind of risks her family would face after she promised it.

She was so angry that she almost couldn't speak. She wants to solve problems for her eldest sister, but what does the eldest sister think of her?! What kind of bad idea is this?!

After Ma finished spitting, his face turned cold: "The eldest sister thinks too well." You've traveled more than ten miles to see me today, and your mother-in-law doesn't know anything about it? When the old man spoke to the people in the Chang'an glass workshop, the workshop refused to let go, do you think your stepmother-in-law will not suspect that you are ventilating the news?! In the end, it's not the same result? It also pulled our house into the water! ”

Zhou Mashi said curtly: "I will think of an excuse to explain, and I won't let that woman catch the handle!" ”

Ma snorted coldly: "What's the use of excuses? What if you can't get the handle? Could it be that every time you have been scolded in the past few decades, it is because you have been caught?! Isn't it that they can scold as much as they want? A 'trumped-up' charge is enough, they suspect you, what else can you justify? If you can argue clearly, you can cry in front of your forehead?! ”

It's so stupid! After decades of losses, why can't the eldest sister learn well?!

Zhou Ma listened to it, and tears fell down again: "What can I do then?" Do you really want to hand over Zhuangzi? What about their own children and grandchildren?! The family business is the boss in the front, and when they get married, they can only spend money according to the rules of the public school, and they don't have a penny more. If you want to make up for it, you have to look at the face of the master. If you can't even keep this bit of dowry, what can you leave to your grandson in the future?! ”

Ma Shi said lightly: "Jin Lin has also achieved a career now, the official is doing well, his wife is virtuous and filial, and he has a family business, even if he doesn't have the money shared by the family, he can still live well." Judging from the forehead, he doesn't expect to share the money from his family, but he can still have a quiet life. Isn't Zhou Jinpu the eldest son and grandson? If he wants to inherit the family business, Jin Lin will be able to divide the family with peace of mind, why bother with the muddy waters at home? ! ”

"How can that be?!" Zhou Ma said busily, "I have been married into the Zhou family for decades, and I have no merit and hard work, why should my children and grandchildren leave the house?" What did they do wrong?! What do you say?! ”

Besides, she has a daughter. Daughter Zhilan is not as high as her aunt Zhou Shuyi to marry a noble family in the capital, and her marriage is not as decent as other cousins in the clan, her father is in charge and she is married to a rising star in the army.

The son-in-law's talent is not to be said, and he is also honest and kind, but he is a commoner child, and his family has a poor foundation, and he relies on his daughter's dowry to support the family. When her daughter got married, in addition to the jewelry given by her biological mother in private, she only had 1,000 taels of silver in the gongzhong, and she couldn't even buy a better Zhuangzi, and it was really difficult to feed a large group of people in her mother-in-law's family, and she had to help her husband from time to time to fund the families of his comrades who died in battle, which was exhausted a few years ago. The daughter has been the most face-saving since she was a child, but now she has to run back to her parents' house from time to time to fight the autumn breeze and endure the cynicism of her stepmother-in-law, Mrs. Ma, and the wife of her eldest brother Zhou Jinpu. Zhou Mashi was very distressed, but he didn't have much savings in his hand, so he subsidized his daughter, what should he do with his son?

She knew that she couldn't help her daughter, and she just wanted to wait for her grandson and granddaughter to marry in the future, so that she could come up with some money to make up for it, so that they could live a more relaxed life and choose a better person to marry.

If she can't even keep the grange that will continue to bring in income from the dowry, all she can get out of is the old jewelry. And without these jewelry, how can she maintain her dignity? In the end, isn't it about being blamed by your step-mother-in-law and husband, but also about the reputation of your children and grandchildren?

Zhou Mashi choked and grabbed his sister's hand, and begged bitterly: "Yumei, I know that my thoughts are not kind, and it will affect you husband and wife, but I really can't do it." Good girl, you can help the eldest sister this time! ”

Ma wanted to withdraw her hands, but was pulled tightly by the eldest sister, looking at the other party's pitiful appearance, she couldn't turn her face, she only felt sad and unfortunate in her heart, but she was angry, gritted her teeth for a long time before saying: "I can help you, but I won't do what you say." ”

Zhou Ma was happy at first, and let go of his hand when he heard the second half of the sentence: "Then what do you want?" ”

Ma thought for a moment. Zhou Ma just didn't want to hand over the Zhuangzi he married, but he didn't really want to stop Zhou Jinpu from building any glass workshop. If the craftsman apprentice in the workshop wants to change jobs, he can find another way to remind the Zhou family, and it is enough to mention it privately.

Building a glass workshop is not something that can be done in three or two days. And the workshop that doesn't even have a shadow yet, the Zhenguo Mansion has no reason to acquiesce. This is not to be called disregarding the affection of the family, they can negotiate within the family.

But if Beizhuang changes hands, the deed is on the file in the government, even if the glass workshop is not built, it will be difficult for Zhou Ma's to get the property back. Mrs. Ma will always have a reason to let Zhou Jinpu take this land to do something else in the future.

The key is not to let Mrs. Ma and Zhou Jinpu transfer the ownership of the village.

Ma told the eldest sister about the tragedy that happened near Biezhuang last night: "Now the only surviving child has been rescued by the master of the Ejia family, and he lives in the courtyard next door." It takes 100 days to break his muscles and bones, and he will have to raise it for three or five months before he can leave. Nowadays, from time to time, people from the prefect's yamen and the Zhou family Zhuangzi come to ask him questions. You go back and tell your brother-in-law, don't Zhuang is full of people coming and going, you really want to build a workshop, you can't hide it from outsiders at all, and it's not good if the news leaks, at least after the spring next year. ”

Wait for the beginning of spring next year, for such a long time, are you afraid that the Zhenguo Mansion will not receive the news?
