As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Even Zhu Jiahuan and Zhu Jiasheng, who had looked serious just now, widened their eyes, and even Yao Bao, who had been listening quietly in his arms, frowned.
Mrs. Xu: "Mom, what are you talking about! How can I reconcile with the boss?"
Mrs. Shen had tears in her eyes: "Mom, I just gave birth to a daughter for my second son, and you force me to reconcile with him?"
The old lady ignored Xu's anger and Shen's accusations, and said rather coldly: "If you are unreasonable, I will have no choice but to let my son divorce his wife."
Mrs. Xu clenched her fists, sneered, and said word by word: "If he dares to divorce his wife, I will kill my husband first."
Mrs. Xu has always been amazing with her words. Mrs. Shen and the old lady have been with her for so many years, but sometimes they are still not used to her toughness.
Mrs. Shen said slowly: "My family values face very much. If I divorce my wife, I would rather hang myself in the general's mansion and be done with it. Mother, in your eyes, are we such people who are greedy for life and afraid of death?"
The old lady sighed: "Mom, this is a plan to protect your lives wisely."
Shen: "But there are some things that cannot be manipulated, let alone protect one's life by being wise."
Old lady: "Don't you think about yourself and your children?"
Mrs. Shen: "I am willing to listen to my mother for the future of my children, but I am Zhu Xingzhuo's wife, and I will be for the rest of my life."
Never give up, hold her son's hand, and grow old with him. This was the promise she made to her husband back then, and the promise must be kept.
"I don't want it!" Zhu Jiahuan stood in front of the old lady, "Grandma, I am the son of the Zhu family. I will be the son of the Zhu family all my life. I want to protect the Zhu family. I must not abandon the Zhu family for my own life. Change. It’s not what a man would do to survive in his grandfather’s house.”
He wants to protect the Zhu family, which is what he just promised his father yesterday.
"Me too," Zhu Jiasheng also walked out, "Grandma, I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."
Zhu Yingbo's words are still ringing in his ears today. Zhu Jiasheng promised in front of his father that he would protect everyone.
The words spoken by the two children were childish, yet sonorous and powerful.
The old lady's eyes were full of love: "Brother Huan, Brother Sheng, do you know that if the Zhu family is in trouble, this will be your only chance to change your life? Don't show off your courage for a moment and ruin your life."
Zhu Jiasheng: "Master has never taught me the principle of abandoning your family in times of crisis and being wise in protecting yourself."
Zhu Jiahuan also said: "I only know that my future is determined by my own efforts."
Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Xu looked at their sons with relief and sadness. After all, they were still so young.
The old lady was silent for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Okay! You are worthy of being the son of my Zhu family, and you are worthy of being the daughter-in-law of my Zhu family. You two really look like me, an old woman, back then."
The old lady said it both happily and sadly.
Yao Bao was a little dazed when she heard it. Although she didn't know why the Zhu family was in disaster, it didn't stop her from being shocked.
What they said had completely exceeded her previous understanding.
Therefore, their logic is that when a disaster strikes, they should save their family first, worry about their safety first, and worry about their situation first?
Shenjun said before that if she was actually his family member according to human terms, she should call Shenjun her adopted father.
So when there were difficulties, she went up for him, she guarded the Nine Heavens for him, killed the demons for him, and practiced hard for him.
When faced with a life-or-death crisis, it was she who stood in front of him and fought for a way out for Shenjun, a relative of his. Her own life and death depended on her ability to survive.
Until she was cast down by the Divine Lord and suffered in the human world, this concept was engraved in her cognition. The only thing that had changed was that she no longer regarded the Divine Lord as her family, but her definition of family had not changed.
And today there are some people who tell you through their actions that there is a kind of family that will protect you in times of crisis. Even if you vaguely know that your life will be in danger if you stay with your family, they are fearless and willing to work together. in trouble.
Yao Bao was puzzled. An emotion she had never felt in her heart was quietly sprouting at this moment. She didn't know what it was, she just felt warm.
Shen's eyes were slightly red: "Mom, no matter how we go in the future, we will walk together."
The old lady said hello three times and exhaled slowly. Fortunately, their house was warm in this cold winter.
"We really need to plan for the future and be prepared for the worst."
Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Shen were sitting at attention, and the two boys were standing beside their mother and listening carefully, even though they didn't understand some of the words. The infant Yao Bao also pricked up his ears.
"The better thing is that the generals come back alive, disarm and return to their fields, and stay away from the court. This is the best outcome. But if we are a step too late and the emperor's blame comes first, our Zhu family may end up with our power reduced and exiled. "
Neither Shen nor Xu were too surprised. After experiencing yesterday's situation, this result was expected by them.
Now that the world is at peace, after this battle, Xie Emperor has no place to go to the Zhu family. It is useless. The double-edged sword has become a simple thorn in the flesh. It is time to find a way to get rid of it.
"Starting today, the two of you will secretly ask people to sell off the property. Don't move too fast and don't attract attention. If you want to take away the gold and silver treasures at home, it will be too conspicuous. It may not be possible by then. Try to replace them. Into some convenient and portable banknotes."
Shen and Xu looked regretful. Of course gold and silver treasures would be better, but unfortunately they would be too ostentatious and they would not be able to bring much with them by then.
If that day comes, you may not be able to take those banknotes with you, but you have to give it a try. After all, you have to survive no matter what the situation is.
No matter at what time, money is king. Only with money can you survive.
Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Shen nodded, they understood what their mother-in-law meant.
Yao Bao blinked, she had never seen the banknote, but she did have the gold, and she had a mountain.
Is it enough to have this thing?
Old Madam: "After that, I will go to the court to hang out with the officials and their families. Even if I am exiled, I will try my best to go to a good place with someone to help me."
Fortunately, the Zhu family has accumulated quite a lot of connections in the court over the years, and some of them are considered reliable. Many of the generals in the court have shared life and death with the Zhu family's son-in-law on the battlefield, and they have become close friends through life and death. There are many upright civil servants who also admire the Zhu family.
There are people in the court who follow the crowd, some who protect themselves wisely, but there are also people who are willing to help in times of crisis. Fortunately, the Zhu family has many such people, and I hope they can come in handy at the last moment.
