Aunt Cui and Aunt Ma returned to the Hai family with Mrs. Wednesday's reply.

Haitang listened all the way to her grandmother's side, and after listening, she asked curiously, "Who is Yijun?" ”

Ma told her: "It's your aunt's own granddaughter, the same age as you, only two months younger than you." When Zhou Yijun was born, the Hai family had already left Chang'an, and when her father Zhou Jinlin went to Ganzhou to take up a post, the Hai family had already settled in Suzhou, so she had never met with the Hai family. But Ma thought that she was the granddaughter of the eldest sister, and there was a natural sense of closeness in his heart. After Aunt Ma's mother-in-law arrived at the Hai family, she introduced the recent situation of Zhou's children and grandchildren to Ma's family, so Ma also has a certain understanding of these juniors.

She told her granddaughter Haitang: "When your aunt's son first joined the army, he studied and trained under General Zhou. General Zhou taught him how to be a good general, and when he could take charge on his own, he was sent out. Now his family is in Zhongwei, Ningxia, too far away from Suzhou, so he has not corresponded with us for many years. But when your cousin was a child, he grew up with your father, and he has been thinking about you and your brother all these years. When your father and mother first went, they received a letter from him, and they walked on the road for more than half a year! ”

This means that there is a little affection between the two sides, but not much, and the younger generation has not been in contact.

Haitang blinked, and asked again: "I listened to my aunt's words, and I thought that the relationship between the third room of the Zhou family and the Zhenguo Mansion was very alienated. But Sister Wenjun seems to be very close to Yijun, not like she has a bad relationship. ”

Aunt Ma told her: "The second master has been in Ganzhou for several years. The family has always been the old lady in charge, and it is said that there is a shortage of people in the courtyard of the uncle and grandmother, and she refuses to assign the servant women who have accumulated years to the second grandfather and the second grandmother, and the second grandmother has to leave the grandmother to take care of the marriage, so the people who bring them to the post are all young girls. At the beginning, Brother Ying was not accustomed to the water and soil in Ganzhou, and the second grandmother was busy taking care of Brother Ying, and later she was pregnant with Brother Ying, and she had to raise a baby, and she didn't have a capable helper around, so she couldn't be busy, so she had to entrust Sister Yi, who had just turned one year old, to the eldest lady of the long house to take care of it. Sister Yi grew up with Miss Wen Jun, and Miss Wen Jun loved her as if she were her own sister. That year, the second master was going to be transferred to Ningxia Zhongwei, and Miss Wenjun was reluctant to let Sister Yi have a son, and left her in Ganzhou for several years. It wasn't until three years ago that Sister Yi went to Ningxia Zhongwei to reunite with her second grandfather and grandmother. ”

Zhou Wenjun and Zhou Yijun's cousins have been together for so long, and of course their relationship is not ordinary. Now Zhou Yijun wants to go back to Chang'an for the New Year, saying that she wants to say hello to her grandparents instead of her parents and brothers, but in fact, because she is getting older, she can't find a good marriage in Ningxia Zhongwei, so after discussing with Zhou Jinlin and his wife, they decided to send their daughter back to Chang'an's own family with pain, and Zhou Ma's family will raise her on her behalf, and it will be convenient to see each other in Chang'an in the future.

Zhou Jinlin and his wife don't mind choosing a match for their son in Ningxia, but they hope that their daughter can marry in a more stable and prosperous place and don't have to stay in the border city and suffer. Who else can they count on but their mothers?

It can't be the step-grandmother Mrs. Ma who has always been unfriendly to them, or the father Zhou Shigong, who is obviously more partial to the eldest brother, right?

Aunt Ma also told Ma and Haitang: "The second master wrote back at the beginning of the year, and the wife knew that her granddaughter was going home, so she was as happy as something, and she started to prepare a yard for Sister Yi early." Originally, I saw a good place on the edge of the garden, but I asked my uncle's sister Luo to snatch it, saying that she liked the scenery there. The wife was angry and refused to let go, and the old lady blamed the wife for not loving the uncle's children, and the old man also complained about the wife's affairs. Mrs. cried a lot, so she had to clean up the west cross courtyard of the main courtyard and leave it for Sister Yi'er.

"Although the place is smaller, it is right under the nose of my wife, and I am not afraid that I will ask others to bully Sister Yi'er. The eldest grandmother was unhappy when she saw it, and she went to the old lady to make trouble, saying that the daughter of the second master was not the blood of the eldest house, so why did she live in the main courtyard. My wife quarreled with my grandmother for two months about this. The eldest grandmother also threatened that she would never let the second master's daughter rob her daughter of the place where her daughter would live in the future. The wife has been on guard against the troublemakers over there, and it was not until the uncle proposed to build a glass workshop that no one mentioned it. ”

Because Zhou Jinpu had the idea of Zhou Ma's marriage, he couldn't take care of fighting for that small hospital for the time being.

Ma Shi was speechless when he heard this: "Now it is the eldest sister and brother-in-law who live in the three-room main courtyard of the Zhou family, and when Zhou Jinpu can live in, his two daughters will already be married, but I am afraid that even his grandson will live in the small cross-courtyard next to him?" It was originally a place for concubines. If it weren't for Zhou Jinpu's daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law messing around and occupying the yard that the eldest sister is optimistic about, the eldest sister would not have wronged her granddaughter to live there! Zhou Jinpu is unfilial and rude, and his daughter-in-law is unreliable, what can the children raised by these two children have? At a young age, he will grab the yard with his sisters. ”

Begonias on the side couldn't help but be amazed.

The three rooms of the Zhou family are really messy. Forget the dispute between Zhou Ma and Mrs. Ma's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the younger generation is obviously Zhou Jinpu's house is the dominant one in the family, and Zhou Jinlin's house has been squeezed to Ningxia, but the former still wants to occupy all resources and refuses to give in half a step. What kind of family is Zhou Shigong in charge of, he is also partial to the eldest son who lost his mother at a young age, and thinks that this is the best way to do it for the eldest son? The mediocre and incompetent eldest son offended his siblings who could be arms to death, will he be able to support the family alone in the future? Or do you expect Mrs. Ma's own children and grandchildren to help him?

Also, Zhou Shigong was too ruthless to the children born to Zhou Ma's stepfamily. When Zhou Jinlin was just released, the eldest son in the family was still young, and the eldest daughter had just turned one year old, so she had to follow her parents to Ganzhou. Zhou Shigong even ignored the needs of the second son and his wife, and allowed his stepmother's eldest son to detain the servant women who could be used in the family, making the second daughter-in-law fall into a shortage of manpower in Ganzhou. Haitang didn't believe that Zhou Ma would ignore the difficulties of his son and daughter-in-law, and refused to help, whether it was to keep his grandchildren at home for a few more years, or to send a few more people to help his daughter-in-law, it was a normal operation, but Zhou Jinlin's family still traveled in a hurry. If there was no deliberate embarrassment of Old Madam Ma and Zhou Shigong's acquiescence, it would not have happened at all.

Mrs. Ma has her own position, and it is impossible to have much care for the bloodless juniors, but what does Zhou Shigong think? Isn't he worried that his grandchildren will die in the arduous journey because they are young and frail, and that they will bring great pain to his second son? If he didn't like children other than the eldest son, why did he remarry Zhou Ma and have two children with her? He thinks that he is the loving father of the eldest son, so he doesn't care about being the scumbag father of the second son?

Haitang didn't want to comment on this, but secretly wrote down the interpersonal relationships within the third room of the Zhou family, beware that when she went to visit her aunt Zhou Ma with her grandmother, she would be embarrassed by the calculations of the people in the third room of the Zhou family. The mean people who were raised and connived at by Mrs. Ma can't be looked at with common sense, God knows what kind of moths they will have?

When Haixi Ya returned home in the evening, Ma Shi told him about Mrs. Wednesday's words, and couldn't help but sigh: "Is it too generous to stay in the third room of the Zhenguo Mansion?" Something so big happened, and they let it go gently. If they can pass the test by hiding for two months, they are not afraid that the stepmother and son in the third room will not get a lesson, and will they dare to mess around in the future? Even if it is for the sake of the third old lady, those who should be punished still have to be punished. The master worked so hard in Suzhou that he tossed out a workshop. hasn't made a few bucks yet, Chang'an wants people, and the master gave it without saying a word, isn't it all for the sake of the border army? Why can he Zhou Shigong make selfish profits, regardless of the life and death of the border army! I'm really not convinced! ”

Hai Xiya gently patted the back of his wife's hand and didn't say anything.
