Chapter 319 Excitement
The first wife is obviously the weakest one. In addition to what Wang did to the second wife before, it is already a face-saving thing for the second wife to be able to speak to Wang now.
The second oldest brother can still support the eldest brother because he is kind, but that's probably all. She still wants the gap between the three brothers' families not to be too big, and it would be best if both the eldest and the third oldest brother can get involved in the workshop.
Now the three families are inseparable, and I can rest assured. The eldest granddaughter has also gone to help out in the shop in town, so at least the eldest branch of the family is involved.
I have to say that the old lady's thinking was too simple and crude. If your granddaughter Xiao Ting hadn't gone in to work, you would have had a share of the Seven-mile Fragrance.
The reason why they still live in their eldest son's house is not only because they want to live with their eldest son in his old age, but also for other reasons.
Since the old couple are here, Liu and the second son have to send money and things. Whatever they can eat and use is all subsidized to the eldest wife.
She kept the private money given to her by Liu and the second son, and left it all to her eldest grandson Xiao Xu when he grew up and started his own family.
There is also the eldest granddaughter Xiao Ting, who was deceived by the damn Zhang family to become a concubine and was tortured beyond recognition. Fortunately, Miss Wan was willing to take in her cousin, otherwise her life would probably be over.
She also had to leave some money for her eldest granddaughter to live on. In the future, her eldest granddaughter could remarry, and she would have to give her some money and jewelry.
So even though Liu gave her food and jewelry from the old family, she kept them all. It would be great if the old family could also benefit from the food and drink.
If I go to live with the second brother, it will be difficult for me to send things to the eldest brother's house, and the eldest brother's house will not be able to eat, drink and dress well with me.
The old lady knew what was going on and had calculated everything clearly. It wasn't that she didn't love the grandchildren of the second and third wives, but the eldest wife was the saddest after all.
Of course, she had to make plans for the weakest branch. After all, the eldest son and grandson were in the first branch. If they were surpassed by the second and third branches, the eldest branch would lose face.
While she was still able to move nimbly and speak fluently, she had to make clear arrangements for the old family. As for the old man's suggestion that each branch should be separated and take care of its own affairs, she could not agree with it.
When Xiao Wan learned that her grandmother had told her that her great-uncle had arrived and asked her family to go to her uncle's house to meet her great-uncle, she was a little puzzled as to where the great-uncle had come from.
It was Liu who cleared up her confusion. It turned out that this so-called great uncle was actually her grandmother's younger brother, which was not too far-fetched.
Liu was overwhelmed when she thought of her husband's uncle. "Your grandmother's brother and his family are such a pushover! They're not the only ones willing to work in a workshop. It's hilarious!"
What? Is there something else going on here? Xiao Wan became interested. Her life had been so smooth. Was it possible that she was like those time-traveling women, encountering some awful relative who came to cause trouble?
Xiao Wan hurriedly urged Liu to tell her story. Seeing her curious look, Liu couldn't help but nodded at her with amusement and continued to explain.
"Your uncle's family used to be well-off, but we haven't been in touch for so many years. I guess they're worried that our family will get too close to them, so they don't come in contact much."
"But this family is lazy and greedy, and their family business went bankrupt very quickly. Your grandmother's nephew was out gambling and was almost beaten up when he was trapped at home. We had to sell the land to save him. But I heard that your cousin has not changed his ways. I guess he came here this time because he heard that you and your father have become officials, so the whole family came here with their children."
After saying this, Mrs. Liu sighed helplessly. This time when she went to Grandma Xiao's place, she thought things would be difficult to handle and there would be a lot of trouble.
This uncle's family is so close to me that it's hard to get rid of them. After all, my nephew is a village elder and my granddaughter is a county lady. They will definitely hold on to me.
Xiao Wan was not afraid at all. Her life was already dull and boring. If her uncle's family was good, she wouldn't mind helping them.
But if anyone dares to put on airs with her, point fingers at her, or interfere with her family's business, Xiao Wan doesn't mind exercising her rights as a county lady to let them know what it means to be not to be trifled with.
Xiao Wan followed Liu excitedly, and Xiao Yuer also insisted on following, so Xiao Wan took her with her. They also called Tian Dasao and Zhang Liang, for fear that if the family behaved unruly and dared to be rude to them, Zhang Liang could subdue them alone.
