Chapter 981 A Sensible Relative

……

Because of Qin Liupo's kindness, the wedding banquet of the Qin and Lu families went smoothly. Even the Lu family's wedding party, who came with the purpose of supporting the family, praised Qin Liupo.

Said of her: "It's much better than the rumors, it turns out the rumors are not true!"

Students: What's untrue? Those rumors are all just glorifying this old hag. After knowing that you, the Lu family, have left, does this old hag still want us to eat leftovers?

The leftovers covered with guests’ saliva are poured into a big pot, heated up, and then we eat!

Fortunately, Qin Jie came quickly, otherwise we would have to eat pig food.

Like the students, the elders of the Lu clan felt that Qin Liupo was even more arrogant and unreasonable than the rumors said. The reason she was so polite today was that she was afraid of the large number of people in the Lu family's wedding party.

After today, this old shrew will probably cause trouble for Lu Jiu.

The old couple were very worried about Lu Jiu.

It was not until the day when Sanchao returned home that he saw Qin Ying and Lu Jiu. The young couple's faces were filled with sweet joy, and their daughter's eyes were relaxed. Only then did the Lu clan leader and his wife feel relieved.

Mrs. Lu found another opportunity and took Lu Jiu into the house to talk in private.

"Jiuya, tell me the truth. Did your parents-in-law deliberately make things difficult for you? Did they ask for your dowry? Is your gold headpiece still there? Did your mother-in-law take it?"

Mrs. Lu asked a lot of questions, fearing that her daughter would be bullied.

Lu Jiu replied one by one and praised Qin Mei: "Yesterday morning, my mother-in-law wanted to set some rules for me, but my sister-in-law stopped me on the spot, saying that the Qin family doesn't have a rule that a new bride has to wash her mother-in-law's dirty clothes on her first day. We're not short of money, so if my mother-in-law doesn't want to do housework, she can pay a maid to do it."

"If my mother-in-law continues to be stubborn, my sister-in-law will drag me to my fifth uncle's family to reason with him."

"My mother-in-law was so scared that she didn't dare to say anything."

Not only was Qin Liupo so frightened that she dared not speak, she was also suffocated by Lu Jiu's obedience. The pile of curses she had prepared were all blocked in her throat by Lu Jiu's obedience, and she had no chance to curse out!

Qin Liupo was almost suffering from internal injuries from holding it in.

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu was both angry and relieved: "Your sister-in-law is right. Listen to her. From now on, when your mother-in-law wants you to chop wood, fetch water, or wash her dirty clothes, you should go back to your parents' home and find an old woman from your parents' village to do the housework for your husband's family."

"There are so many old women in the countryside who want to do odd jobs. You can easily find a group of them. There are plenty of odd jobs that are happy to do the housework at your in-laws' house."

In the county, a woman who worked as a temporary worker in a household could earn only fifteen cents a day.

Does Qin Liupo's family need these fifteen cents?

No shortage.

So Qin Mei was right. There was no need to make her daughter work hard. She could just pay someone to do it.

"Aying said the same thing. She said that we have money to hire a handyman in the main house and will not let me wash my mother-in-law's dirty clothes." Lu Jiu's cheeks flushed when she thought of Qin Ying's considerate words to her.

Mrs. Lu was very happy to see this and asked about their marriage consummation, which made Lu Jiu blush and he was too embarrassed to say anything for a long time.

Mother Lu said, "The Qin family escaped the famine, and Mother is worried about Ah Ying's health... Don't be embarrassed. This is a matter concerning your offspring and the rest of your life. You must tell the truth."

Seeing that Mrs. Lu was really worried, Lu Jiu hurriedly whispered, "It's fine... Ah Ying is in good health."

"That's good." Mrs. Lu was completely relieved and talked to her daughter for a long time. After learning that Qin Ying had given her daughter the responsibility of managing the family accounts, the smile on her face never disappeared.

When the mother and daughter went to the main hall and saw the gift Qin Ying gave to her three brothers from her natal family, Mrs. Lu couldn't stop smiling.

Patriarch Lu couldn't bear to watch it anymore and whispered to her, "Control yourself. You're laughing so hard that you're losing your composure."

The old woman has a reputation for being steady, kind, reasonable and able to control herself.

Now she is as happy as a crazy woman, and her children and grandchildren have been stealing glances at her.

Mrs. Lu glanced at him and said, "My son-in-law treats my brothers from my mother's family so politely, so what if I am a little happy?"

Each of the three brothers and their wives received a complete set of winter clothes; each family also received two rolls of red cloth, three bags of malt sugar, and a live chicken.

Just by giving gifts to her brothers from her natal family, she could marry another wife.

In addition to these, there is also a whole car of return gifts for the Lu family.

With so many things, Mrs. Lu didn't know how Qin Ying successfully transported them out of the house right under Mrs. Qin Liu's nose?

It can be seen that Qin Ying is not only capable and generous, but also smart and resourceful. He is not the kind of person who lives under the oppression of his ruffian parents, but someone who can be the master of his own family.

On this day, Qin Ying, the new son-in-law, was unanimously loved by the entire family of Patriarch Lu and the three uncles' families in Zhangjiaji.

The family of Patriarch Lu also specially prepared a fine banquet to entertain the new son-in-law.

Qin Ying saw the nine dishes, one soup, and two desserts, and felt sorry for his father-in-law's family. "Father and mother-in-law, I've already told everyone that we can just have some home-cooked meals on the third day of our visit. Why are you spending so much money? We're family, so there's no need."

Clan leader Lu was even more pleased with his words. He laughed heartily and said, "This is my son-in-law's first visit. What's wrong with spending a little money? Eat, eat more. There's still meat and vegetables in the pot in the kitchen after you finish eating. You can keep eating!"

Chief Lu was so happy that he was almost drunk even without drinking.

Zhangjiaji's three uncles and three aunts were also very happy, and they wished they were the ones who married Qin Ying.

Qin Ying happily stayed at her father-in-law's house until the early evening. After dinner, she took the return gift and drove home.

The Lu clan leader's family and the three uncles' families watched the donkey cart disappear before entering the house.

Chief Lu also said, "The donkey cart that Ah Ying is driving belongs to Old Master Qin's family."

"What? Is this the car of Mr. Qin's family? Oh, our Aying is really valued by Mr. Qin. Brother-in-law and sister-in-law, your family is really amazing." My third uncle and his wife were lively and excited, and they praised loudly.

But my uncle and his wife were steady and sensible. They said, "Brother-in-law, sister, since Jiuya has married well, we have nothing to worry about. We will go home early tomorrow morning."

"Going home? Why going home? Then..." The third aunt was anxious, but was glared at by the eldest aunt and was scared into shutting up.

Patriarch Lu was very satisfied when he saw this... Although his brother-in-law and his wife were very thoughtful, they were disciplined and did not dare to cause trouble secretly.

So, Patriarch Lu spoke frankly: "There's no rush regarding the town school enrollment quota or the job opening in the Qin family workshop. This time, many people from both the Lu and Han families were recruited to work in the workshop, which shows that the Qin family values ​​kinship. So, we should just be patient and wait for our opportunity."

"Even if the Qin family workshop is no longer hiring, I, as your brother-in-law, will find a long-term job for the eldest son of your three families."

My third uncle and his wife were so happy to thank him: "Thank you, brother-in-law. The eldest son of our three families depends on..."

"Third brother, third sister-in-law, if you continue to be so unruly, you will be sent back to Yelu's house and will not be allowed to stay overnight!" The eldest uncle was angry.

My third uncle and his wife shrank back again, not daring to speak.

The eldest uncle said to the head of the Lu clan, "Brother-in-law, if you can succeed in your work and the town school, then so be it. If you can't, that's fine too... If your family is doing well, then they are helping the three of us brothers."

"After Taifeng Town prospered and my brother-in-law's family married into the Qin family, Zhangjiaji's village chief Zhang helped us a lot. We didn't dare to deliberately embarrass us just because we asked him for a favor."

"Besides Zhangjiaji, the prominent families in Dongxu Town, as well as the clerks and runners in the Silifang, have also treated our three families with great courtesy."

"These benefits are all brought by my brother-in-law's family. We are content."

"Besides, Aying has given us so many gifts today. It would be rude of us as relatives to ask for more."
