The road to wealth of a peasant widow

Chen Cui looked at her three sons who were eager to express their opposition when the family division was mentioned, and waved her hands to signal, "Why are you in such a hurry? I'm just telling you my plan first, not saying that we're going to divide the family now. The most important thing right now is to find a good family for Sui Sui so that your sister can have someone to rely on for the rest of her life!"

In fact, Chen Cui is the one who least believes in the idea that marrying a good man will give her a lifelong support. She believes in being self-reliant and self-reliant.

But nowadays, women have almost no autonomy. Before getting married, they rely on their father and brothers at home. After getting married, they rely on their husbands. After their husbands die, they rely on their sons. In short, no matter what period, they have to rely on men to survive.

Chang Ping frowned when he heard this: "There's no need to rush Sui Sui's marriage. I will definitely find her a reliable man."

Changan also nodded in agreement, and Changfu protested, "Mom, don't worry. Sui Sui must not be allowed to marry before she finds a good match. Even if she becomes an old maid and can't get married, at most we, her brothers, can support her."

Chen Cui laughed and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Your sister is so good, how could she become an old maid who can't get married?"

Chang Ping also rebuked: "What nonsense! My sister will never be unmarried. Not only will she be married, but I will also find her a good and stable family so that she can live a safe and smooth life in the future!"

Good! This is a very domineering statement, and it's what a brother should say.

Chen Cui gave her eldest son a thumbs up in her heart, and gave her younger son a cold look.

This guy was just a little unreliable at first, but after marrying the princess, perhaps because of his happy life, he became even more childish and spoke without thinking!

"Well, that's it. Just keep it in mind about the separation. You don't need to tell your wife yet. I will notify you when the time comes."

Perhaps because Chen Cui was the first to run the Liu family business, and the family's wealth mostly came from this, the sons, because they were studying, hardly asked about business matters. Even if they did care, they only cared about the actual difficulties encountered rather than the profits.

Even after they passed the imperial examinations and became officials, these habits did not change. They had long been accustomed to Chen Cui distributing and arranging the family property, and they just had to obey.

This also means that Chen Cui has absolute say in family finances and does not need their consent when making decisions.

This was also because Chen Cui had been relatively fair in her dealings over the years. Although she valued the eldest son the most among her three sons, she did not neglect the second and third sons. As long as the eldest son had something, they would never be lacking, so no one had ever raised any objections.

The discussion about Suisui's marriage ended here, but the concern about her marriage had just begun.

Chen Cui not only told her son and daughter-in-law, but also her old sister Zhang Ruomei, to help look for a suitable family.

Zhang Ruomei looked disappointed and complained, "You, you, I don't know what you were thinking before. You rejected all those people who were interested in Sui Sui and didn't even consider them. Now you are thinking of finding someone for her. You are anxious, right? I have always said that it doesn't matter if a girl gets married late. The important thing is to find a good guy early, otherwise the good guy will be picked up by someone else!"

Zhang Ruomei likes Suisui very much. If it weren't for the age difference between her and her son, and if her son didn't prefer quiet girls, she would have wanted to bring Suisui home as his wife!

Chen Cui didn’t worry about her daughter’s marriage before, but now she is anxious when she sees it. However, she is not Sui Sui’s biological mother, so there is no point in being anxious!

Chen Cui also knew that her previous attitude was a little wrong and she was too calm. In fact, it was also caused by the contradictions and entanglements in her heart, so that when Zhang Ruomei asked her to help Sui Sui with her marriage, she actually felt a little guilty.

"Haha, I know I was wrong. You don't know because you haven't given birth to a daughter. Who would be willing to let a daughter who has been raised by themselves marry someone else? If possible, I would even like to let her stay at home for the rest of her life!"

Chen Cui's serious expression made Zhang Ruomei know that what she said was from her heart. She couldn't say these words in front of her son and daughter-in-law, but she couldn't help it in front of her best friend Zhang Ruomei.

Zhang Ruomei didn't know what to say. She didn't give birth to a daughter, and the annoying eldest daughter in the family was also married off, but that didn't mean she didn't understand the feelings of being a mother.

But it is understandable that you are reluctant to let your daughter get married, but you don’t have to let your daughter stay at home with you all the time!

Zhang Ruomei was too tired to complain: "Alright, I get it. I will definitely help Sui Sui keep an eye out. I know what you think. I will filter out those whose family situations are too complicated, who are not harmonious, and whose young people are not ambitious. I will not let Sui Sui get into trouble. Don't worry!"

Chen Cui shook Zhang Ruomei's hand vigorously, and was filled with tears of gratitude.

The older sisters understood her thoughts. They knew that she loved her daughter and wanted to find a good family for her as much as possible. She didn't even need to say it because they had already listed the screening criteria.

The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and every family had its own things to do. After talking about the daily affairs, the two of them didn't spend much time together, so Chen Cui said goodbye and went home.

While Chen Cui was busy preparing for the New Year and preparing various gifts, far away in the northwest, in Liujiaping Village, Yinping County, Liu Wende's family was in a gloomy mood.

Liu Changsheng died, killed in the belly of one of his concubines!

Zhou was so grief-stricken that she scratched the face of Yunhua, the concubine who killed her son, and beat her until her head and face were swollen and almost unrecognizable.

Poor Yunhua had just suffered the shock of her husband dying in her bed, and was then beaten and scolded by the old lady without any explanation. Her once pretty face had completely lost its original appearance.

She was just an ordinary peasant girl. Because she had many brothers in her family and was considered easy to give birth to, she was hired by the Liu family as a concubine, in the hope that she would give birth to a son to carry on the family line.

But she had been married for less than a year and had not yet conceived a son when her husband died, and he died in her bed. Why was her life so miserable!

Yunhua was so frightened and beaten that she couldn't cry anymore. She just stood there in a daze, allowing Zhou to torture her back and forth!

Zhou felt that she was not satisfied yet. Seeing Yunhua sitting on the ground in a daze, she felt really hateful. So she picked up the broom and tried to swing it at her again.

"Mother, Yunhua has been beaten so hard that she doesn't feel any pain anymore. What's the point of beating her again?"

Changsheng's daughter-in-law Tan saw that Yunhua's face was scratched with several long marks, her face was swollen and her eyes were reduced to slits, and she looked dazed and stupid, not even knowing how to dodge, so she felt a little sorry for her and advised her mother-in-law not to hit her again.
