A lucky wife born again from a farm family

Mr. Xu looked at Xu Er's shocked look, squinted his eyes, and said angrily: "Why, do you dislike this marriage?"

Xu Er quickly waved his hand: "No, no, after hearing what my father said, my son thinks this marriage is a good one."

Gu Dexing came from a clean family, with dividends from the Gu family's business, and he was promising. He was admitted to the Tongsheng Examination at a young age. Apart from the fact that his mother died early and his aunt was too aggressive, there was really nothing wrong with him.

But what Xu Er didn't expect was that his father could think of Zhong Yatou.

Zhong Yatou is the least outstanding among the girls in the family. Sometimes he even thinks that his father has forgotten this granddaughter.

With a bang, Mr. Xu picked up a book, threw it at Xu Er, and cursed: "I know what you are thinking, do you think I am partial to Dafang and don't care for Miss Zhong? I am partial, I admit it, who let me Brother Ming is good at studying. Several generations of my Xu family have produced a good boy who is good at studying. If we rely on him to enter the gentry, how can I not love Dafang more?"

Then he said: "Although I love Dafang, I haven't forgotten how many grandchildren I have. I keep all these boys and girls in my heart, and I won't really treat anyone badly."

Speaking of this, Mr. Xu took the opportunity to say: "In the future, the big house will account for 40% of the family's property, and the remaining two and three bedrooms will be divided equally. As for the marriage of the grandchildren, the money will be provided by the father-in-law, and the descendants of the big house will get an additional 20%. The money for the second and third bedrooms is 20% less. But Zhong Yatou is the first granddaughter in the family, so I will use my own private treasury to supplement her dowry by 20%."

Then he looked at Xu Zhaoming: "Brother Ming is the first grandson in the family, and he is promising. When you get married, grandpa will give you an extra 20% of the betrothal gift."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Er and Xu Zhaoming were shocked. They did not expect that Mr. Xu would tell them about the division of property so early.

Xu Er cried and said with tears: "Dad, my son doesn't mean that. You don't have to do this. My son doesn't need so much property."

In order to protect the direct descendants, everyone attaches great importance to the eldest family member. When families are divided, the eldest member of the family will get at least 70% of the family property, and the rest will be divided equally among the brothers.

Xu Er knew that he was not favored and that his son and daughter were not as successful as the other two families. He had long been prepared to receive only 10% of the family property. He didn't expect that his father would give him 30% of the family property, and he couldn't help but cry.

"Why are you crying? Look at how useless you are. Wipe your tears quickly. It's disgusting when a grown man loses his golden beans."

Mr. Xu said it disgustingly, but he knew how good his second son was. The eldest son lived in Jiangnan all year round. The second and third sons stayed with him the most, but only the second son was the most devoted to him.

The second wife is a stable and easy-to-satisfy person. They are not as big-minded as the first wife, so they can live in their hometown. Although he usually does not say good things about the second wife, he will not treat him badly.

After hearing this, Xu Er wiped away his tears and said, "It's my son's fault. Dad, don't be angry."

Mr. Xu ignored him, but looked at Xu Zhaoming and asked, "Brother Ming, are you dissatisfied with the division of property in the family?"

After hearing this, Xu Zhaoming immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Grandpa is wise, and my grandson is convinced."

He added: "As the saying goes, a good man will not live in separate families. A man should add property to his family and buy property instead of coveting the family's property. Moreover, the second uncle and the third uncle serve grandpa all year round and take care of the household affairs. , they deserve all the credit for their hard work, and they deserve 30% of the family property, and the grandchildren have no objections."

Finally, he added: "I think dad will have no objection."

After hearing this, Mr. Xu was very satisfied: "You have indeed grown a lot. Grandpa has finally given up on half of this."

To be honest, if Xu Zhaoming was still as arrogant and incompetent as before, he really didn't dare to let him become an official, lest one of his mistakes would lead to the execution of the whole clan.

"It will be good for you to spend more time with An Ge'er and the others, and learn a little bit about their behavior. After you pass the college entrance examination, grandpa will personally take you to patrol shops and collect rent, so that you can see what the farmers are like. How do people in the market live?"

After hearing this, Xu Zhaoming's eyes were red. Grandpa really worked hard for him. At this age, he still had to teach him personally, because he was afraid that he would not be able to handle common affairs and would suffer a disadvantage if he entered the officialdom: "Yes, Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson will definitely study hard. "

Mr. Xu was very satisfied and said to Xu Er: "Second son, go tell your wife about marrying the Gu Dexing family. If you and your wife are both happy, you can come to your door tomorrow with a generous gift, apologize and hint about this."

"So soon?" Xu Er was shocked. They were women in this important matter of marriage, so they had to be more reserved no matter what.

Mr. Xu said: "I'm sorry, if we go any slower, even Gu Dexing will be taken away."

An incident involving three children suddenly occurred in Dafeng Village. It has spread to several nearby counties. Even the wealthy households in Linxian County are asking about Gu Jinan and the others, hoping to recruit them as sons-in-law. Get started quickly.

After hearing this, Xu Er did not dare to delay any longer. He immediately stood up and said, "My son will go find Mr. Lu right now."

After saying that, he hurriedly left the study, found his wife, and told Mrs. Lu that Mr. Xu wanted to tell Xu Zhong to Gu Dexing.

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu was not very happy. The son-in-law she liked was Gu Jinan, so she asked extravagantly: "Ms. sir, if Ling Yatou can't do it, what can we do with Zhong Ya? Gu Jinan is such a good young man, and there are still more at home. Such a big business, if our girl Zhong can marry Gu Jinan, I will lose ten years of my life."

Xu Er frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Then the Zheng family has fallen in love with Gu Jinan, and you still want to steal people from the Zheng family? Don't be stupid, Gu Dexing is good."

Mrs. Lu was still a little disgusted: "He has lost his biological mother and only has a widower father. His biological aunt is still such a shrew. If we Zhong Yatou get married, won't we have to be bullied by our aunt?"

Xu Zhong saw that the sky was gloomy and he thought it was going to rain. Thinking that the weather would get cooler after the rain, he wanted to ask his mother if she wanted to send a cloak to Xu Ling in the ancestral hall. After all, she is the eldest daughter of the eldest son. If she falls ill and her mother is in charge of the household affairs, she will be resented by the eldest son.

She didn't expect to hear such words, her face turned red, she knocked on the door gently and said, "Mom and dad, my daughter is willing to marry."

Although shy, Xu Zhong is straightforward and neat. He thinks that he is already seventeen and has already reached the age of marriage. Gu Dexing is pretty good and is more promising than some wealthy children in the county.

And she believed in herself that as long as she worked hard, she would be able to live a good life, which would not be worse than when she married a kid from a wealthy family in the county.

"Linglong, what did you say, are you really willing?" Mrs. Lu was both pleased and distressed. Her eldest daughter was really too sensible.

Xu Er was very happy, but he did not stay long. Instead, he said to Lu, "Tell Linglong that this marriage is not bad."

After that, they left the house and let the mother and daughter talk quietly.
