Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"Mom and Dad, it's time for our family to hire someone," Xiao Lan said.

"Can't we hire people in the workshop? Why do we need to hire more people?" Sheng Xuan said.

"Dad, let's not talk about next spring, let's talk about autumn when our family plants cabbages and radishes. We have so much land, can you handle it all by yourself?" Xiao Lan said.

"My daughter, I will definitely go back to help when the time comes. If we are really too busy, we can hire two or three temporary workers and we will be able to handle the work." Zhang also said.

"I can go and help, but it will be more difficult. We will be fine after we are busy for a while." Xin said.

While Xiaolan's family was discussing whether to hire someone, the Sheng family was arguing about whether or not to follow the eldest son to take office.

"Uncle, do you want to keep auntie to look after my grandfather and grandma?" Pang Xiu'e said to Sheng Nuo with a smile. She really wanted their second wife to follow Sheng Nuo to take up the post, but Sheng Nuo refused again and again, so she had to use her trump card.

Wang glanced at Pang Xiu'e quickly, and this look made Pang Xiu'e shiver suddenly.

But Pang Xiu'e didn't care. After all, she had never gotten along well with the eldest family since she married into the Sheng family. Now it was time, and this was related to the future of their second house. Of course, she had to contribute her efforts to achieve the goal.

Wang is the eldest daughter-in-law, and it is her responsibility to take care of her parents-in-law. If she doesn't want to stay, she can only choose to take Mr. Sheng and Cui away.

The old Sheng family has not split up. If Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Cui follow Sheng Nuo to take up the office, the second branch of the family will of course have to go with them.

Sheng Nuo followed Pang Xiu'e's thoughts and thought that if Wang could stay, then all the problems he was experiencing now would be solved. He was very willing in his heart.

When they were in their own house before, Wang had told him that she would definitely follow him to take up the post. If he wanted to get rid of Sheng Kai, he only needed to persuade Mr. Sheng and Cui to stay at home.

But Pang Xiu'e's words put him in a dilemma.

Sheng Kai was enlightened and said with a smile, "That's not bad. As the eldest daughter-in-law, you should serve the old man and the old lady at home. I know this. This is what officials pay the most attention to. Does the eldest sister-in-law want to abandon the old man and the old lady and let others serve them?"

Wang was very embarrassed when her thoughts were exposed by Pang Xiu'e and Sheng Kai, but she still smiled and said, "I didn't say that I wouldn't serve the old man and the old lady. It depends on what the old couple wants. But we have to think more about the old couple. After all, it's hard to leave their hometown, and Hejian County is not close to us. Besides, Shengjia Village is the root of our Sheng family, and we still have such a large family business to protect. Besides, my parents are old, what should we do if something goes wrong on the road?"

As the daughter-in-law who had been with Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Cui the longest, Wang knew them to some extent. Mr. Sheng was attached to his hometown and his land, and he would definitely be reluctant to leave everything in Shengjia Village. Mrs. Cui usually stayed at home, busy on the kang and at home every day, and she was even more reluctant to move. As long as they could stabilize the old couple, the second son of the Sheng family would not be able to jump around, and they could get rid of Sheng Kai, this dog-skin plaster.

"We don't have to walk there, so can we hire a carriage for the time being? Our house and land won't be a problem. The third brother is at home, so we can ask him to help look after the house. As for the land, we can rent it out." Sheng Kai spoke very smoothly, and it was obvious that he had already gone over these issues in his mind.

The honest man Sheng Hao has always been ignored. To be more precise, when something good happens to the Sheng family, he will be ignored. If there is any heavy or tiring work, he will be the first one to be remembered.

Old Master Sheng was the same as the day before, and he did not express his opinion. Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai were both smart people, so it was not easy for them to directly ask the old man what he thought at this time, for fear of hearing an answer they did not want to hear.

At this moment, Mr. Sheng suddenly stood up and walked outside.

Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai shouted in unison, "Dad, where are you going?"

Mr. Sheng was not in a very good mood, but he still responded, "You guys continue talking, I'll go out and get some fresh air."

Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai also noticed that the old man was in a bad mood, but neither of them cared about him.

"Brother, if you only take your family with you to take office, and leave our parents and brothers at home, I will spread your reputation of being unfilial, and you will not be able to be an official in peace," Sheng Kai threatened.

"Second brother, don't do anything stupid. What good will it do to you if I ruin your life? Don't worry, you stay at home to take care of our parents, and I will definitely not let you down." Sheng Nuo consoled him.

At this time, Cui couldn't bear it anymore. She pulled Chunhua down from the kang, licked her face, and walked out the door.

"Mom, what are you going to do?" the eldest and second brother asked in unison.

Cui did not come back, but slammed the door and left.

Only then did Sheng Nuo and Sheng Kai realize that the matter had become serious, and they stopped arguing.

It is true that Mr. Sheng is the head of the old Sheng family, but Cui's opinion is also very important. Sheng Nuo quickly followed Cui's footsteps and said carefully, "Mom, I heard that Hejian County is much worse than ours. It's poor and bad over there, and there are often robberies on the road. It's not as peaceful as ours. If I wasn't used to being served by Wang on weekdays, I wouldn't bring her with me."

Sheng Hong also chimed in, "Grandma, nothing is better than home. Hejian Prefecture is more than 2,000 kilometers away from us. We don't know if we can get there safely. If you and my grandfather have any accidents on the road, we will be blamed."

Cui stood in front of the window without saying anything. She was extremely reluctant to move. She had finally returned from the capital and wanted to enjoy her old age. Shengjia Village made her feel at ease. Any place outside Shengjia Village, no matter how rich or prosperous, made her feel scared. She was used to living in Shengjia Village. If she moved to another place, would she be able to get used to it?

Cui was not stupid. She could tell from the words of the first wife's family that they were not willing to take her and the old man to Hejian Prefecture. Although the eldest brother's words were very obscure, he was born from her heart. They had been mother and son for so many years. How could she not know what the eldest brother was thinking?

"Do you think I'm willing to go with you?" Cui said unhappily to her eldest son and grandson, "I don't have the final say on this matter. It depends on what the old man thinks."
