Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

When Lan Qiyan ran in, Yu Zian's mother seemed to have fainted. Is she so weak?

She thought about it. Yu Zian told her on the way that his biological mother was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue. She was spoiled since childhood and was brought up as the mistress of the family.

She implemented the principle of the husband being the head of the wife so well that she didn't even have time to raise her eldest son, but she had time to raise her two younger sons and daughter.

Lan Qiyan couldn't help but sigh. Yu Zian was a little pitiful, no wonder he was so moved when his mother showed a little maternal love, this was his shortcoming.

"Your son greets his mother. I brought Yan'er to see you today."

Ever since Li Shuyu could remember, her mother asked her to be a role model of a noble lady from an aristocratic family, and to follow the rules in everything she said and did.

Even when she had to take a vacation and go to the border for some reason, she never lost her composure.

But now she was frightened by this country woman. She took a deep look at her eldest son in front of her. He had been a worry to her since he was a child, and he was still a worry even when he grew up.

Yu Zian saw the disgust in his mother's eyes and his face became solemn. Was there nothing he could do?

"Mother!"

"Humph, Zi'an, divorce your wife immediately. She is not worthy of you."

"Mother, husband and wife in times of trouble, sons should not be ungrateful."

"Just give me some silver. You have to understand that you are the eldest son of the general's mansion. The glory of the Yu family is on you. Do you think you are worthy of us by being so willful?"

Lan Qiyan snorted, pulled Yu Zian to sit down, and said, "Yu Zian, this is your mother. If you don't know, you might think she is the enemy who killed your mother.

Look at that look, it’s like it wants to eat you. Did you do something you shouldn’t have done when you were a child?

That's not right. Your mother gave you to your grandmother to raise in order to seduce your father.

She is still pua you. There are so many people in the Yu family, why does she have to lie on you and suck your blood?

You have been working hard for so many years, and they are eating well and being fat at the border.

This is so unfair no matter how you think about it. Have you ever thought that this woman is not your mother at all? A mother would not treat her own son like this.

Look at how I treated Yu Xiu. I couldn't bear to see him suffer, but you have suffered so much.

Listen to me, my mother-in-law can also give you maternal love. As for this, I will give you a little false love when I need you, and when I don’t need you, I will just be annoyed with you.

Alas, she threw you to your grandmother, and she couldn't control her man. She spread so many rumors. She is so incompetent.

Your father is not a good person either, he changes his mind every day, luckily it was your grandmother who brought you up, otherwise your worldview would be distorted."

"Asshole, Zi'an, this is the wife you found. She is so vulgar and disrespectful to her mother-in-law. She is really not worthy of being in a noble family."

Lan Qiyan rolled her eyes at her and said, "If you gave birth to her but didn't raise her, what qualifications do you have to educate her? Huh?

Our ancestors have said that the grace of giving birth is not as great as the grace of raising a child, so what do you think you are?

You are so pretentious all day long. I call you mother-in-law for Yu Zian's sake, but if I don't do it for his sake, you are just an old woman.

What are you so proud of? You don't care about your excellent eldest son, but you treat your two younger sons like trash.

I tell you, this general's mansion belongs to my man, rounded off to the nearest hundred, it's mine.

Then I will kick you all out and make you beg on the streets."

Li Shuyu covered his chest and said, "Zi'an, listen to this. This is the wife you found for yourself?"

Yu Zian smiled and said, "Yes, this is my wife. She will protect me at all costs, just like you protected those two useless people."

Li Shuyu snapped, "Shut up, that's your brother."

"Oh." Yu Zian said dryly.

Lan Qiyan sat on the stool and swayed from side to side. "Mother-in-law, you didn't give me anything when I first arrived? You are so stingy. My grandmother gave me many gifts. You are too stingy.

I will spread the word later so that other sisters won’t have to suffer when they marry into a family. Having a fussy and stingy mother-in-law will lead to her death sooner or later.”

"Zi'an, are you going to let her humiliate me like this?"

Yu Zian shrugged, "She's always like this, straight to the point, very cute, mother, you have to pay the betrothal gift."

Lan Qiyan slapped the stool and said, "Yeah, where's my betrothal gift? Damn it, I forgot about it.

I see that my mother-in-law hasn’t remembered it yet. Since my daughter-in-law is filial, I won’t bother you anymore.”

She shouted to the outside, "Son, bring someone to carry my betrothal gift."

Yu Xiu waved his hand and a group of people ran in. These were the laborers he had just found on the street. Each of them was paid 500 coins to help with moving things.

"Everyone, remember, move everything you see away. These all belong to my parents."

"Yes, son."

Before Li Shuyu could react, two strong men walked up to her and said, "Madam, please get off your butt. This stool is my wife's betrothal gift."

Li Shuyu fainted.

Lan Qiyan patted Yu Zian and said, "Your mother is fine. Look at her rosy and smooth complexion. Even if I blow up the general's mansion, nothing will happen to her."

Yu Zian shook his head, "I'm not worried about that."

"Then what are you worried about?"

"The Lan Mansion can't hold all that stuff."

"Then auction it off. I happen to be short of money."

"Just arrange it."

Yu Zian turned around and walked out, took a deep breath, and exhaled.

She no longer yearned for even a tiny bit of maternal love. She had reached the point where she no longer needed it.

Yan'er vented his anger for him today, and he was very happy. With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?

An hour later, Lan Qiyan stood on a high round table with a loudspeaker and shouted on the busy street.

"Don't miss it if you pass by. This is the betrothal gift my mother-in-law from the General's Mansion gave me. Yu Zian and I have been a couple through thick and thin. To put it bluntly, I come from the countryside and I really can't use this high-end stuff.

So at this auction, come and take a look.

It’s a big sale, you won’t get cheated or cheated.”

Everyone is just looking at them for fun. These are all top-quality huanghuali trees. No one wants to spend money to take one home. After all, their beauty cannot be brought out at home.

Besides, you won’t suffer a loss if you buy it. Nothing you buy costs less than one or two taels of silver.

The mother and son shouted from morning till dark, and Yu Xiu was almost crying because they couldn't sell any of the products.

Lan Qiyan was cheerful. She had no intention of selling here in the first place. She just wanted to embarrass the General's Mansion. She had no shame anyway.

"Mom, what are you laughing at? I didn't sell a single piece and I lost thirty taels of wages."

"I know, please close your eyes when it's dark."

Yu Xiu closed his eyes obediently. Lan Qiyan waved his hand and a strange-shaped iron box appeared in Yu Xiu's hand.

"Okay, open your eyes."

Yu Xiu couldn't wait to take the iron box and asked, "Mom, what's in this?"

"Grenade."

"What egg?"
