Chapter 1109 Filial Piety (1)
Not long after Chen Tao got married, Chen Shaozhou asked someone to go to the Liao family to pay a betrothal gift. He was too lazy to bother to buy a betrothal gift, so he directly gave the Liao family three thousand taels of silver.
Mrs. Wen soon found out about this. She came to Wen to find Mrs. Wen in disgrace and said, "You are the eldest sister-in-law, and your betrothal gift should be more than Mrs. Liao."
Wen looked at her and said coldly: "The uncle is the second marriage. It has been spent once before to marry her. This time I gave Miss Liao three thousand taels of betrothal gifts, and the second master still thinks it is less!"
Chen Zhan felt that he was at a disadvantage, so he even found Chen Shaozhou for this matter. However, Chen Shaozhou scolded him and was bleeding from the dog's head.
Mrs. Wen was choked: "The son-in-law is the second marriage, but you are the first marriage! The Shen family can't bully people like this! Don't worry, I will ask you for an explanation."
Wen said coldly: "It is false to ask for an explanation for me, but it is true to want to blackmail another sum of money! Three thousand taels of silver is not enough. How much do you want to sell me?"
"What are you talking nonsense? I'm all for your own good."
Wen stood up and said, "I know what you are trying to make. You are trying to make a fuss with my father-in-law and uncle. They hate me and drive me home so that you can sell me again. Unfortunately, your wish is destined to fail. I am a member of the Shen family in my life, and a ghost of the Shen family in my life."
Mrs. Wen was so angry that she trembled all over: "You, you are such a heartless thing."
She never thought about letting Wen remarry. What should the Shen family do if they have such money to remarry? She just wanted Wen to scrape some subsidies from the Shen family to subsidize her parents' family.
Wen sneered: "Three thousand taels of silver have bought out your mother-daughter relationship. If you want to have some shame, don't come to the door. It's impossible to come to the door to fight Qiufeng. The relationship between you and my mother-daughter has been broken, and I will not give you a piece of copper in the future."
Wen Bo was two years older than him, and she could support her family whether she was teaching in a private school or working. But her mother couldn't bear to suffer, so she stayed at home all day and didn't go out. She copied books and did needlework day and night to maintain her family's livelihood, but for this reason, her mother still wanted to sell her for her two sons. Just sell it, and three thousand taels of silver would repay the kindness of raising her at that time.
When the confidant maid Xiaocao saw her depressed, she comforted him and said, "Big grandma, don't be sad. Anyway, I have left that wolf den. Let's just live our own life in the future."
Wen smiled, took her hand and said, "Fortunately, you have been with me all these years."
Mrs. Wen also wanted to sell Xiaocao, but she forced Xiaocao to leave her with her life. Her mother didn't have her in her heart, and her brother and brother were unreliable. Only this maid who had been with her since childhood was the most caring maid. She came over those difficult days with Xiaocao's company.
At this moment, an old lady came over and said, "Grandma, please come here."
Gu Xian was so tired that she was in charge of Chen Tao's marriage. She really didn't want to hold Chen Zhan's wedding anymore. So she wanted to hand over this matter to Wen, but she thought too much. She was worried that she would speak directly and everyone felt that she was not concerned about Chen Zhan's stepson's marriage. It didn't matter how others thought Gu Xian. She didn't want Chen Shaozhou to misunderstand it.
And I felt uncomfortable when I woke up early this morning, so I called Wen over: "I was dizzy and asked the doctor to say it was overworking. A Zhan's marriage could not be delayed, so I want you to help me take care of it."
Wen did not expect that Gu Xian was pretending to be sick. He did not refuse when he heard this and just said, "Mother, I don't know anything when I'm young, I'm afraid I won't do it well."
"If you don't understand, just ask the lady in charge. If you don't make up your mind, you can come to me. I believe that as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely do it."
Not only did she entrust Chen Zhan’s marriage to her, but she also gave the gifts to her, Wen’s man was still a little dazed when he returned to his yard.
Gu Xian breathed a sigh of relief and said to Tan Xing: "I finally handed over these two hot potatoes. In the future, I don't have to worry about these trivial matters anymore."
Tan Xing didn't want to say anything.
At this moment, the woman said outside: "Madam, I've written a letter from the capital."
After reading the letter, Gu Xian was so happy that she immediately called the manager of the inner courtyard: "Immediately send someone to clean Wutong Courtyard from the inside to the outside."
The manager left.
In the afternoon, Chen Shaozhou came back from outside and saw Gu Xian smiling and asked, "What makes you so happy?"
Since the kidnapping case, Gu Xian rarely smiles on her face, and she is also faint when facing Chen Tao brothers and Guan Geer.
Gu Xian said happily: "I received my mother's letter today. In the letter, she said that she set off for Pingzhou on March 13th. Calculate the time, it will be here in a few days."
Gu Xian has been thinking about Mrs. Gu these days, and now she knows that she is coming back is naturally overjoyed.
Chen Shaozhou was a little surprised: "Why mother-in-law is back at this time, is there something wrong in the capital?"
"Nothing happened, it's all fine. It's my mother dreaming that her father was dressed in tatters. She couldn't rest assured that she wanted to come back to visit the grave."
Chen Shaozhou asked, "Gu Heping cleaned his father-in-law's grave without a single weed. Didn't you tell your mother-in-law about this?"
Gu Xian said unhappily: "Of course I said it. It's just that my mother is worried that my father wants to come back to visit the grave. Don't you let her come back?"
Chen Shaozhou asked, "Qingshu couldn't leave just after giving birth, so Alin wanted to be a worker. If his mother-in-law came back, she would definitely have to send her off, but An An was just a 17-year-old girl who missed her. You are not afraid of something wrong."
Gu Xian smiled and said, "No, Yiqi happened to return to Pingzhou, and my mother came back with them. After scanning the tomb, we happened to send her back to Beijing."
Seeing that she was still very happy, Chen Shaozhou said helplessly: "My mother-in-law is so old, I am always running back and forth. I am afraid that her body will not be able to bear it."
Hearing this, Gu Xian covered the smile on her face and asked silently, "Shaozhou, why don't you let your mother stay in Pingzhou. I know she has always cared about her father and can't live in the capital with peace of mind."
Chen Shaozhou smiled and said, "If my mother-in-law could stay in Pingzhou, it would be the best. I'm afraid that Alin and Qingshu won't agree."
Gu Xian paused, but he quickly said: "It's useless as long as my mother wants to stay in Pingzhou and they object, but it's not easy to convince her. I'll give it a try."
Chen Shaozhou didn't have any expectations, but he didn't pour cold water on Gu Xian. Since the time of the kidnapping, she couldn't be interested in anything she did, and he felt very distressed.
After talking about Mrs. Gu Xian said to him again: "I told Wen today that she would take charge of the marriage of Zhongfu to handle A Zhan."
Afraid that Chen Shaozhou was unhappy, she explained: "Shaozhou, I am really impatient with these trivial matters. With this time, I might as well make you two clothes!"
Chen Shaozhou smiled and said, "It's good to have a friend. This is a good time to have a spring break. When my mother-in-law comes back, we will take her to take a walk everywhere."
