Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

The couple could tolerate all these, but they could not tolerate the fact that their son's pens, ink, paper and inkstone were withheld, which affected his studies.

Today, it was his sister who gave him the confidence. In the future, if he helps his sister, he will definitely get a lot of wages. His sister also said that if he does a good job, he will get a red envelope. As long as he works hard, his sister will definitely not treat him unfairly.

As long as they can get Huai'er out and find a good husband for Qiu Shuang, Fu Erlang and his wife will be satisfied and have no other requests.

As long as their sons and daughters live better than them, that’s enough.

"Dad, I know you care about me and my mother, so I can tolerate many things. My wife and I have never been satisfied with our allowances. Mother said that our family is in financial difficulty and we have to support our children's education, so it's okay to give less money. We don't say anything."

"Sister always sends jewelry and fabrics home. Qiuyue wears a gold hairpin and jade ring, but Qiushuang only has a pair of pearl flowers. We are incompetent and cannot covet what belongs to sister, but as her parents, we feel sad when we see it."

"Brother Huai, thanks to his sister's influence, became a disciple of the renowned teacher, Mr. Jiang. However, ever since then, his brushes, inkstones, and paper have all been defective. Brother Heng's brushes, inkstones, and paper are not enough to use up, and the family has to keep him busy buying new ones."

"Dad, Huai'er is your grandson, the flesh and blood of our Fu family. It's okay for Yue and I to feel wronged, but if your grandson studies and becomes famous in the future, won't he be a glory to our Fu family?"

"In order to buy Huai'er better brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone, Auntie had to use her share of silver and hairpins and rings to help him. I was afraid that you would be unhappy if you knew and that you would argue with...so I didn't let me tell you."

"My son is useless. I can't afford to send him to school, and I need subsidies from my aunt." After Fu Erlang finished speaking, he felt very upset, and a grown man almost shed tears.

After hearing what his son said, Mr. Fu was also shocked.

The son did not mention Hu in any of his words, but every word he said was about Hu.

Not only did Mrs. Hu withhold the silver from Erlang and his wife, she even withheld her grandson's pens, ink, paper, and inkstone. Didn't Mrs. Hu know that what she cared about most was the studies of the two boys in the family?

What's more, he actually asked Shen to subsidize his grandson. Old Man Fu recalled that he had gone to Shen's house several times and saw that Shen was dressed simply, and sometimes the hairpins on her head were only held up with simple wooden hairpins.

I asked her why she dressed so simply. Shen smiled and said that she was old and lazy, and there was no need to dress up in her own room. She also asked me if I disliked her.

How could Mr. Fu dislike Shen? She looked good even when dressed simply, but Mr. Fu didn't want his beloved woman to suffer. Not being able to be the principal wife was already an injustice to her, and he couldn't let her suffer any more in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Therefore, Shen's hairpins, rings and cloth were never short of her share, and Hu dared not not give it to her.

It turns out that Shen dressed so simply because she sold all her hairpins and jewelry to support her grandson. After all, which grandmother doesn't love her grandson? Shen was kind and gentle, so she must have loved Huai'er even more.

Old Master Fu didn't know what to say for a moment. He had originally wanted to persuade his son to be patient, but when he saw his son looking at him pitifully, he realized that his son was almost thirty years old, with tears in his eyes and a face full of grievance.

Mr. Fu's heart softened unconsciously.

"Your aunt, I'm so sorry for her... I..." Old Master Fu's throat moved and he spoke with difficulty: "But if you leave, what will happen to your aunt and me? We can't bear to leave you."

"Also, while your parents are still alive, even if you split the family property, you won't get much. Even if I subsidize you privately, you can't just sit back and enjoy the wealth. Most of the shop at home is the dowry brought by your stepmother."

Old Master Fu could not continue. He enjoyed the wealth brought by Mrs. Hu, so he could not justify asking Mrs. Hu to treat her illegitimate son as her own and treat him equally.

"Dad, it's okay. You can keep all your private money for yourself. I'm a grown man with hands and feet, so why can't I support my wife and children? Your son doesn't want your private money. Let me tell you something. Today I went to my sister's house. My sister asked me to take care of the inspection of the manor and shop of the Zhao Mansion. I give it to her for a month. My sister said she won't treat us badly and she also said she would find a good family for Qiu Shuang."

"I believe in my sister, so Dad doesn't have to worry. As long as I work with my sister, I can earn money. Then I can rent a house and Yue can sell her embroidery for money. Our family will always have a good life."

"If Dad misses us, we can come to see him anytime. After all, Dad is my biological father, isn't he?"
