Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Fu Erlang did not say it explicitly, but Fu had been the housekeeper for many years. Although there was no mother-in-law, no sisters-in-law, and no disputes between legitimate and illegitimate children, there were many disputes in each family, and she knew all of it.

The legitimate mother had many ways to control her illegitimate children. Fu didn't understand it at first, but after marrying into the Zhao family and seeing more of the world, she learned everything.

That's why she later secured an opportunity for her half-brother's son to become a disciple, also because her half-brother had been obedient and sensible since he was young, and the relationship between the siblings was pretty good.

When Fu Erlang said this, she understood her mother's attitude towards her half-brother. She didn't say anything, but fell into deep thought.

Then he said to his half-brother, "Erlang, since there is nothing important happening at home, why don't you come and help me manage the property in the mansion."

Fu Erlang and Yue were stunned.

Fu continued, "You know, your brother-in-law and nephew are still waiting for their return. We have a lot of shops and farms at home, and His Majesty has given us some rewards. I can't support them all by myself."

"Anyway, my mother should be able to take care of the household affairs. Why don't you come and help my sister? Then I can rest assured that my family won't be deceived by others."

"And my sister-in-law, if you are willing to help Erlang with the accounts, I will feel more at ease. Are you willing to help me?"

The more Fu talked about it, the better she felt this was an idea. Without the help of her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law, she really couldn't handle it on her own.

Especially the income from the farm, neither he nor his confidants can manage it, and his younger brother is not an outsider.

Especially through what happened last time, she also saw who was sincere and who was fake.

My younger brother had little influence in the family and was not taken seriously. He also lived in poverty, but at the critical moment, he actually collected 100 taels of silver notes for me.

For Fu, one hundred taels was not enough to make two sets of clothes, but for Fu Erlang and his wife, it should be almost all their property.

They also had Huai'er to study and they had to save up a dowry for Qiu Shuang. Although the dowry was provided by the public, it was not much according to the share.

I know my mother's character very well. She hates aunts and concubines, not to mention the children of concubines.

But even in such a difficult time, his half-brother still gave him banknotes, fearing that he would suffer if he left the capital, while his own elder brother, sister-in-law, father and mother...

At that time, Fu was full of determination in her heart. If she could come back in the future, she would definitely treat her brother's family well to repay their kindness in helping her in her time of need.

My husband and son will be moved by my brother-in-law's (uncle's) righteousness and will probably agree with my arrangement.

She thought that although her brother had studied well, he had no official title and could not enter the officialdom for the time being. She needed her husband to come back and think of some solutions.

Unlike his elder brother, the younger brother will not even have a means of making a living after the family is divided.

It just so happened that her sister-in-law was also the daughter of a scholar. She remembered that she was good at math. So one of them could keep accounts at home while the other could go out and check accounts, so that they would have something to do.

If my younger brother can find a way to become a minor official without real power in the future, that would be great. If not, giving him some property would be enough for him to live on.

If they can train Huai'er, the couple will have someone to rely on in the future.

Fu didn't plan to talk about the official position now, so as not to be disappointed if it fails. She would talk about it later if it succeeds.

Fu was a soft-hearted person. Now that Fu Erlang's family was on her mind, she thought more and wanted to provide more arrangements and support for her brother's family.

She looked at the two of them with burning eyes, waiting for their answer.

Yue didn't expect that her sister had arranged things for her. She understood that her elder sister-in-law was taking care of her and her husband, and she knew a lot of things.

She said she was sharing the burden with her, but in fact, her elder sister-in-law had so many people under her, how could she not be busy? She just knew that they were in an awkward position at home and didn't have much money.

Only then did he think of ways to take care of his own family, but it was only because he had given his eldest sister-in-law some banknotes at that time that his eldest sister-in-law arranged for their family in this way.

Yue's eyes were red many times today, and Fu Erlang was also very excited. Fu Qiu Shuang was a smart girl, and sometimes Yue would listen to her daughter's opinions.

She was touched by her aunt's care for them. Seeing this, Fu Qiu Shuang gently pulled her mother's arm, her eyes full of encouragement.

Seeing that her daughter also supported her, Yue felt relieved and looked at her husband again. Fu Erlang was also looking at her.

The two looked at each other, and they both had the answer in their hearts. Yue took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your trust in Erlang and me, sister. We will do our best."

Fu felt relieved that her sister-in-law was a sensible person, and with her around, their family would get better and better.

Of course, she also saw that her niece was a smart girl, and her younger siblings were better at raising children than her older brother and sister-in-law.
