Chapter 488 - Competing for Stewardship
"Let your mother give way, just because she is old, and you are sixty-two years old this year, and you are not fit for both energy and physical strength.
It is not easy to cultivate a housewife, the stability of a big family, the ability and wisdom of the housewife are very important, although your mother is old, but her ability is not inferior to that of a man, and she has been in a high position before retirement.
And as soon as you married into the Han family, you have always been a full-time wife, in terms of age, you are not young, in terms of ability, you have not worked a day, your thinking is out of step with the times, and you are not suitable to sit in the position of the mother of the family! ”
Old Man Han ruthlessly vetoed it in public, and also belittled Ding Xiaolian's ability, and suddenly, Ding Xiaolian's face turned the color of pig liver.
If it's not suitable, it's not suitable, why devalue her to worthless in front of so many juniors?
Besides, what kind of outside work skills do you need to manage the backyard of your home?
Over the years, she has also given a lot of advice to her husband's work, why can't she manage a family well?
Although she thought so in her heart, Ding Xiaolian knew the old man's wrist, and she didn't dare to refute it no matter how unconvinced she was.
"What Dad said is that I am not young, and for the long-term plan of the Han family, I should find a younger housewife.
There is no one more suitable for this person than my Weiwei, she is 35 years old this year, working in the Finance and Taxation Department, she is both young and capable of working, let her be the housewife, it is very suitable! ”
"Mom, I'm ......"
Before Qian Wei's words were finished, Ding Xiaolian, who was holding her hand, pinched the inside of Qian Wei's arm fiercely.
The pain in her heart came, Qian Wei's expression darkened, and then she looked at Old Man Han with a smile: "If grandpa can trust me, I will definitely do my best to take care of this house." ”
Although the pain in Qian Wei's eyes flashed so quickly that it was almost impossible to see, Qiao Ran, who was sitting opposite her, could still see that she was coming.
Ding Xiaolian pinched it very lightly, but she didn't show it at all, and it can be seen that being pinched is a frequent occurrence.
Unexpectedly, Qian Wei, who looks gentle and kind, with an outstanding temperament, turned out to be a little daughter-in-law who was bullied by her mother-in-law.
As the daughter of the family of the eight founding heroes, Qian Wei's status is not low, how can she suffer such a dark atmosphere?
It seems that this Qian Wei is very different from her arrogant and arrogant younger brother Qian Zhijie and her sick and delicate white lotus sister Qian Zhaoxue.
"Sister-in-law, you have directly crossed us and found the housewife from the next generation, doesn't it seem that the daughter-in-law of our generation is very incompetent? My father said you are old and a stay-at-home wife.
But our four siblings are not very old, she is forty-two this year, and she is the deputy director of the Department of Education and Talent, she has been engaged in education for so many years, and she is in charge of a family, which is more than enough for her. The third wife, Liang Jing, said with a smile.
It is precisely because the fourth brother and sister are in important positions that she can't be distracted from family affairs, not to mention, her two children, one next year's college entrance examination and the other next year's college entrance examination, are the most important moments of learning.
She has to tutor the children personally, in case the family affects the studies of the two children, it will be a loss to our family, and the impact on the children's lives will be even greater.
What's more, as the deputy director of the Yucai Division, how many people are waiting to see the test results of her two children, and she can't let outsiders see our Han family's jokes, right? ”
Listening to the words of the eldest lady Ding Xiaolian, Qiao Ran secretly praised her in his heart.
is worthy of being a person who has been in the courtyard of the deep house for 40 years, and Ding Xiaolian won this wave of war of words.
"Third sister-in-law, sister-in-law is right, I know you don't want juniors to see the jokes of our generation of daughters-in-law, but I am really powerless, the work outside is heavy, and the two children in the family are at the most important moment of study.
I really can't do this job, or the third sister-in-law, you will be 54 this year, Jing Xu, Jing Huan have all participated in the work, Qianyi is also in college, and you have a lot of energy to focus on housekeeping. The fourth wife, Feng Qing, looked at the third wife, Liang Jing, with a gentle smile in her eyes.
"Haha, thank you four brothers and sisters for looking up to me, I still know how many pounds I have, I'm just an idle and unpopular university teacher, and few students listen to classes every day, where can I manage such a big family, I won't be ashamed." Liang Jing waved his hand and said with a smile.
Qiao Ran could see that the wives of the Han family, the third wife and the fourth wife, got along better, and the eldest wife was isolated by these two people.
Mr. Han has five sons, the second son died young, the youngest son Han Shining is the old son of Mr. Han, and Han Shining, who is forty years old this year, is not married, so there is no second wife and fifth wife here.
The dispute between concubines and concubines is only the eldest wife, the third wife and the fourth wife.
"If you don't do it, I'm old, and my four brothers and sisters are busy with work and have no energy, so if there is no suitable daughter-in-law in our generation, don't we have to find it in the next generation of daughters-in-law? Among the next generation of daughters-in-law, Weiwei is the eldest daughter-in-law, and she is in the position of the housewife, who else can do it if she is not? Ding Xiaolian asked with a smile.
For this housewife, she can't do it, it falls on Qian Wei, so it's no different from what she does.
"Sister-in-law, now is not ancient times, there is a serious distinction between the eldest and the youngest, you are not only Qian Wei's daughter-in-law, Yaling is also your daughter-in-law, you can't favor one over the other!"
Liang Jingyan smiled and chatted, leading the war to the inside of the big house, and Qiao Ran expressed his admiration in his heart.
This third wife, that is really a master of house fighting, if this is placed in the ancient emperor's house, it must be the last person to laugh.
Gu Yaling is sulking because she was ignored by her mother-in-law, although Qian Wei entered the door earlier than her, but Qian Wei is a soft bun, she can't beat a stuffy fart with a stick, where is her temperament suitable to be a housewife and manage such a big family business?
Because she gave birth to two daughters in a row, she has always been secretly laughed at, and she urgently needs a glamorous identity to stand up outside.
If she did this housewife and walked outside, who would dare to laugh at her?
As soon as Gu Yaling wanted to speak, she was rushed in front by Ding Xiaolian and said: "Third brother and sister, you didn't listen to what your father said before, the position of being the housewife should not be changed, you have to find someone who is both young and capable of working, Yaling is a full-time wife like me, and she has two four-year-old and two-year-old children to bring, she has no energy to take care of the house." ”
Ding Xiaolian can't be Gu Yaling, the daughter-in-law's housekeeper, Gu Yaling's mind is too active, and she is confident that the Gu family is hard, she doesn't have much respect for her mother-in-law at all, and her son is a strict wife, how can she support someone who is not sure?
The back road was blocked by her mother-in-law, Gu Yaling was so angry in her heart.
But in front of so many people, she couldn't have a seizure, but just said obediently: "Grandpa, although I have two small children, they are all very well-behaved and obedient.
At work, my ability is also very outstanding, if it weren't for the instability of the second baby, I would have continued to work, and now I should have been promoted smoothly.
If my grandfather trusts me, I will definitely work hard to take care of this family and never let my grandparents and everyone down. ”
Gu Yaling is a person who takes the initiative, as long as she has the opportunity, no matter whether she can fight for it or not, she will not give up, and she will show it first.
Although he doesn't have an in-depth understanding of Qian Wei and Gu Yaling, judging from the personalities of the two, Qiao Ran feels that it is indeed Gu Yaling who is outgoing and cheerful and can speak well, and is more suitable for managing a family with complex interpersonal relationships.
