Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Moreover, Cheng Ge'er has already passed the imperial examination and will definitely be able to make further progress. All resources will still be left to Cheng Ge'er.

It would be a lie for the couple to say they weren't upset, but there was nothing they could do.

Unexpectedly, there was a Xiao family workshop in the village. Zhao Laoer seemed to see some hope and suggested that his wife go to the Xiao family workshop. The Xiao family would definitely give face to Zhao Lizheng.

Although Zhao Lizheng was willing to do so, he was stopped by his mother-in-law, Sun, who said that his family already had a scholar, and it would be embarrassing for him to work in someone else's house.

The couple were used to being honest, and they knew in their hearts that it was partly because they were the laborers of the family and most of the work in the fields fell on them.

My eldest brother is okay, he also works in the fields, but my eldest sister-in-law... My mother-in-law always favors my eldest sister-in-law, but in fact, she should favor my eldest brother's family.

Although Zhao Laoer felt uncomfortable and felt sorry for his wife, he had no choice but to work harder to help her.

Most of the family income went to Cheng'er, and the rest was only enough for the family to live on.

But they also want to consider their own children. Their eldest daughter is eleven years old this year, but she still has no dowry.

The youngest son also wanted to study, but he was sensible and never mentioned it. He just wrote and drew in the sand, and asked his cousin if he didn't understand.

The couple felt very sad when they saw this.

Now my father suddenly told me that I had succeeded and asked both husband and wife to go to work.

The two were so happy as if pie had fallen from the sky that they agreed immediately and promised not to delay their work in the fields.

Zhao Lizheng waved his hand, he still knew what was important and what was not.

The work in the fields is not just the second brother and his wife's job, but the whole family's job. When the time comes, he, the eldest brother and his wife, and the second brother and his wife will sow and harvest together. If they are too busy, they will hire temporary workers for a few days. Zhao Lizheng still has the money.

"No! I don't agree."

The couple, who were immersed in the happiness of going to work, were interrupted by a sharp sound, and Zhao Lizheng frowned unconsciously.

It was Sun's uncontrolled cry: "We can't let the second son and his wife go. What will happen to the farm work at home if they go? Do you want me, an old woman, to do the laundry, cooking, and serving them? I don't agree!"

Sun looked at Zhao Lizheng and Zhao Laoer angrily. She had selfish motives in her heart.

The eldest brother's family has a scholar, and going out to work would indeed bring shame to the scholar.

Moreover, the eldest child has not been as strong as the second child since childhood, so it will be much easier to have the second child to help at home.

As for the eldest son's wife, she is the mother of his eldest grandson. She is sweet-mouthed and knows how to make him happy. Most importantly, she gave birth to a scholar grandson.

For the sake of his eldest grandson, he could often tolerate his eldest daughter-in-law's laziness and slacking off. After all, Mrs. Wu was not only efficient at work, but also honest and didn't talk much.

Wouldn't it be easier for me to take care of the second son and his wife while the whole family supports the eldest grandson to take the imperial examination? Anyway, the eldest grandson will never forget his uncle's kindness.

In short, the family cannot do without the second son and his wife, not to mention that the old man actually agreed to go out to work and only asked to pay half of the wages!

How could this be possible! The Sun family couldn't allow anyone in the family to challenge or escape their control!

Sun's eyes were red, and she stared at Zhao Laoer and Wu fiercely, making the two of them dare not breathe. At the same time, their hearts felt as if a hot pot had been poured with ice water, and they cooled down all of a sudden.

Mrs. Wu was even more filled with resentment. She pinched her palms until the skin was almost broken, but she seemed to have no feeling. She felt extremely miserable, wondering why her mother-in-law was so cruel to her family.

But Zhao Lizheng was not willing to indulge Sun. He said in a firm tone, "Without your permission, I still have the final say in this family. If I say let the second son go, then he can go. Don't be so biased!"

After saying that, Zhao Lizheng shook his sleeves heavily and ignored Sun.

Zhao Lizheng couldn't let the old woman disappoint the second son. In the future, they would have to rely on the second son for their retirement. It was impossible for the eldest grandson to pass the imperial examination and be sent to work as an official, and then the couple would follow the eldest grandson to be sent to work as an official.

The eldest couple will definitely follow their son, and most of the family property will be left to the second couple. While they are still young, the second son and Mrs. Wu can go out and try their luck, which is much better than digging for food in the fields at home.

The little grandson at home is also very talented, but unfortunately we don’t have the money to support him. If the couple can raise a scholar themselves, it will be the blessing of the ancestors of the Zhao family.

This is also the reason why Zhao Lizheng shamelessly went to the Xiao family to recommend his son.
