Grandma Xie motioned for Gao to follow her into the house, and after briefly looking around, she said, "You settle here first, and I will arrange for you to live in the town after a while."
Mrs. Gao felt happy, knowing that her mother-in-law still cared about her.
"Auntie, are you going to show your husband a woman?"
"It's not urgent. We have to wait until next year. Don't worry, I will take care of Sister Lan and the others. Even if new people come in in the future, they will never go past these children."
With her mother-in-law's assurance, Gao felt somewhat comforted.
"Auntie, Sister Lan has reached the age where she should be married, so you have to help her. I was divorced just to take the blame for my husband."
Mrs. Gao is not particularly anxious or depressed now, mainly because she still has someone to rely on.
It's not a chess piece that can be thrown away as others say.
"I will arrange this matter. You can live here with peace of mind and don't go out for the time being. If you are missing something, I will arrange for Sister Lan or Brother Ye to bring it to you."
"Yes, I listen to grandma."
Mrs. Gao can only hold on to her mother-in-law's life-saving straw now.
No matter what, we can't really cut off contact with the Xie family.
When Mrs. Gao thought that Sister Lan and Sister Rong would come over in the future, she finally felt better.
Grandma Xie was mainly here to comfort her, so that she wouldn't have to talk nonsense outside.
Now that Xie Xiuwen has met someone, she can't guarantee her future.
However, Grandma Xie decided from the bottom of her heart that Xie Xiuwen could not go any further.
"There are celebrities and talented people everywhere in the capital. Xie Xiuwen can barely win a title here, but that's not necessarily the case in the capital. Besides, with that person here, he will definitely not be willing to let Xie Xiuwen come forward. , Therefore, even if he goes to the capital, he will soon come back in despair. At that time, the family can still use his status as a judge, but it is not necessarily who will benefit. "
After hearing this, Mrs. Gao felt relieved.
If Xie Xiuwen hadn't revealed all this, how could she have been abandoned?
These days, what options do abandoned wives have for survival?
On the day she was divorced, the person she hated most was Xie Xiuran, but now she recovered and hated Xie Xiuwen again.
Anyway, after thinking about it, she had nothing wrong with her and it was others who came to trouble her.
"Aniang is right. That young man from a well-established family is now a serious man. Even if he does not participate in the scientific examination, many adults are willing to recommend him to the court as an official. Such a noble young man can be even flattered by the second child. Not available."
Grandma Xie nodded with satisfaction: "You are right, that is to say, we poor people only rely on the scientific examination to become officials. How can a serious noble man need to suffer like this?"
"Auntie, Brother Hui and Brother Ye have been adopted. What's next?"
Grandma Xie glanced at her, wondering what she was thinking?
"You don't need to worry about this matter. The second child's family will be fine in the future. Brother Hui will be the eldest son if he is adopted. What benefits will we get from him in the future? Humph, no matter how good the second child is, he will still be the eldest son. Aren’t you raising a son for someone else?”
Thinking about it this way, it seems to be quite comfortable, and it seems that I have taken a big advantage.
Mrs. Gao said anxiously: "Auntie, doesn't it mean that Brother Hui and Brother Ye can't inherit the family business in the future?"
"That's just talk now, it's still a long time. Besides, even if they don't inherit the family business, what will they get? Don't forget that the second son is a judge. If he really goes too far, If outsiders don't gossip? Then his reputation will not be affected by then?"
When Gao heard this, he immediately became energetic again.
After such a calculation, it seems that adoption is quite cost-effective. I don't need to raise a son anymore, and I can get another share of the family business in the future. In this way, my son will benefit from it.
"Aniang is still taking a long-term view. From now on, I have to rely on you to give them more guidance."
Grandma Xie raised her chin with a proud look on her face.
If it weren't for this, why would she not stop the adoption?
This was obviously her two favorite grandchildren who benefited, so why should she be sad?
Besides, in the future, the boss will marry a young daughter-in-law and have a son. From now on, won’t all the property of the third Xie family belong to the boss’s family?
That is to say, those old guys who only value Ziyi and inheritance can't figure it out. They think this is a punishment for Xie Xiuran and a good future for the two children!
snort!
She was thinking much longer than that.
"It's a certainty that the boss will marry again. He can't be left with no heirs. You have to think about this clearly. I'll marry him next year, so you can't make a fuss."
"Yes, Aniang." Mrs. Gao responded with a bitter look on her face.
Xie Grandma is such a good person, how can she not know what she is thinking?
"As long as you keep your peace, I won't treat you badly. I told you to move to the town, and I will definitely do it. When the time comes, I will buy you a small courtyard with three main houses and a girl. Just wait and see, some children will send rice and food to you in the future, and your life will not be bad."
Gao didn't think so in her heart, but she still had to show that she was flattered.
"Thank you, grandma. I will definitely listen to grandma in everything."
Grandma Xie nodded with satisfaction. If she hadn't been needed in the future, she wouldn't have bothered to come to this poor yard.
Gao thought more.
Now that the Xie family has a Duke Jie Yuan, his status will naturally rise immediately.
However, before she left Xie's family, she heard Xie Xiuwen say that for the time being, she should not buy property in a big way. Firstly, it was because there were still several children at home who wanted to go to school. Secondly, it was not appropriate to be in the limelight at this time.
Mrs. Gao has calmed down now and understands that what Xie Xiuwen said makes sense.
At this moment, the congratulatory gifts sent by relatives and friends around or from the gentry and merchants are all dead, fixed amounts, and every dollar spent will result in a loss.
The Xie family is not in a hurry to buy property now, but the income from their one hundred acres of land can support their family, at least they don't need to worry about food.
Xie Xiuwen and Xie Laosan both have income and are exempt from all kinds of taxes. Good times are ahead.
Gao was extremely regretful at this time. Why wasn't he careful enough in doing things in the first place?
If she could be more careful and prevent others from getting a handle on her, she would be able to live a good life in the Xie family now.
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.
Xie Xiuwen took his wife and children back to Fucheng for resettlement. After two days, they boarded the ship heading north.
This was the first time for Xie Xiuwen to ride on such an official ship, and he still took advantage of Guabao.
Zhao Yue carried Xie Rongzhao and walked towards the bow of the ship: "Little dear, come here, uncle will tell you about the scenery along the way."
Xie Rongzhao curled his lips, do you want to tell me about the scenery? You clearly don’t want to listen to my father’s sermons anymore. Don’t think I didn’t see the stupid look on your face just now with your eyes wide open and your left hand scratching your head!
