Chapter 1611: The Great Lady's Dumb Loss
She waited for a day, waited for so many years, and finally arrived.
To be born as a clan wife, you must be generous, and you must be able to balance the various complex relationships between the family and the women in the clan.
She has to take care of the widows and children, suppress the restless troublemakers, and think about some care, as long as it is harmless, she must also turn a blind eye and let it go.
can't make a wrong step, otherwise not only outsiders will stare at her, but also those concubines in the clan will also stare at her, just wait for her to make a mistake, so that she can hold a handle in her hand.
Over the years, she has been patient for the sake of a good reputation and for her children to have a good family.
I was going to do this, but after the youngest son got married, she didn't have to endure it anymore, at that time, the children in the family were all married, and even the four girls had families.
At that time, no one can find fault with her, she is also benevolent and righteous, the son and daughter of the second room, she has raised them all as adults, and they have all started a family, even her biological father and mother are just like this.
For so many years, she has endured it because after she got married, the Gu family has not yet separated.
The Gu family was divided, and it was the family that was divided after the death of the old man of the Gu family after the third child of the Gu family married his wife.
Gu Chang was about to marry the whole family, but the family did not agree, and after he talked with Gu Changqing earnestly, Gu Changqing explained to the old lady of the Gu family.
The old man of the Gu family was thinking about compensating for that Gu Changyin at that time, and he owed the old lady in his heart, so the old lady was relieved, and he acquiesced.
At the beginning, the eldest lady of the Gu family was also a little puzzled in her heart, why Gu Changqing wanted to help Gu Changqing speak.
Gu Changqing told her why the second child wanted to marry the Quan, firstly, because there was no one in the Quan's mother's family, there was no one in the mother's family, and she was married highly, so the Quan's family naturally had no confidence.
Moreover, it is said that the whole family has a simple temperament and has never formally learned housekeeping, and the old lady of the Gu family wants to send someone to teach, but they are all retreated, and only one of the old aunts who come to take refuge in the whole family teaches, so naturally they don't know what these high-ranking families do. After marrying into the door, there is no threat to her.
Even if she has that heart, she doesn't have that ability.
Otherwise, if you really marry a girl from a wealthy family and come back, which one is not cultivated according to the housewife? If they really fight, wouldn't it hurt the brother's harmony?
In the previous house, it was barely closed because of the things that happened to the old man of the Gu family.
If he marries another powerful one, I am afraid that this family will not be able to live in peace again.
Therefore, Gu Chang immediately made up his mind to marry the Quan family.
When the eldest lady of the Gu family heard it for the first time, she was very moved, and she only felt that this second brother had wronged herself so much for the sake of family harmony, and it was too much sacrifice to marry a Quan family who was not on the stage.
Therefore, after Gu Chang got married, even if the whole family was raised by her aunt, she didn't even know how to meet the most basic female relatives, and she didn't dislike it at all.
On the contrary, he felt more and more guilty in his heart, and he was single-minded to the whole family, thinking about her everywhere, afraid that she would be ridiculed.
Otherwise, why did she and Gu Changji discuss that method together, what kind of people to meet when they go out, what kind of words to say, and how not to make mistakes, all of which were written into a booklet.
Then Gu Chang taught Quan's memorization again, and she pulled Quan's practice countless times, and there were no flaws, so she took Quan's out to socialize?
It took her a lot of effort! Even for her own children, she has never bothered so much!
Later, after the Quan family gave birth to the child, Gu Chang said that the Quan family would not take the child, and if the child was handed over to the Quan family to bring up, I am afraid that the child would be abolished.
I bother to ask her, who is a sister-in-law, to help bring up the child.
She also said yes with a mouthful of words.
She remembered that Gu Changji was good, so she never shirked if she could help.
Later, the children in the second room were lost to her, and she had four children in her name, plus four in the second room, to be honest, although there were servants to serve her, but every day she had to inquire about the situation of several children, and she had to appease them one by one, in case any children were uncomfortable, she had to guard them at night.
Sometimes, the child in the second room is sick at the same time as her own child, and in order to be afraid of gossip, she also has to endure her worries and keep the child in the second room first.
As a mother, whenever this happens, her heart is like a knife.
It wasn't until they broke up later that I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief.
But the second child applied for release, threw a few children to her, only said that he believed in the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and then patted his butt and left with the whole family.
The eldest lady of the Gu family was completely collapsed at that time!
But she couldn't say anything yet, especially in front of Gu Changqing.
If she complained, would Gu Changqing think that his second brother had given up marrying a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family for the sake of this family, and now he was helping him take care of the children, and there were servants to take care of him, wouldn't he be willing?
How do you do the eldest sister-in-law?
What else can I do? I can only hold on.
At the beginning, the silver money paid by the second child every year came back, and the daily use of a few children was enough, and the rest of her, who was the eldest aunt, was not so stingy, not that she couldn't afford it.
But later, the child got bigger and bigger, and the expenses increased.
Especially Zi Hangcheng's biological son, and then the second girl will marry.
The use of the second room is not enough at all.
But she, who is a sister-in-law, can she really go to the second child and ask for money? No!
And you can't treat the children in the second room lightly, you must treat them equally.
Over the years, the money paid was forgotten, but later, the more she thought about it, she always felt that she had suffered a dumb loss.
It's better for the second child to marry a powerful daughter-in-law, what can you do? The ancestral family law is there, and the family is divided equally, and everyone takes care of each other.
How could it be that she stayed with her for the rest of her life and worried about raising children for others?
In the past few years, the eldest lady of the Gu family, the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that there is something wrong, but because Gu Zikai has not yet married, she still has to endure it, she can't leave all ninety-nine, and the last step is a failure, which makes people say that they are not right?
It's just that she has already revealed her meaning in front of Gu Changqing, at the latest, after Gu Zikai gets married, she will be completely separated from the second room.
Gu Changqing was still a little hesitant, after all, the old lady of the Gu family was still there, and if she was separated from the second room, she was afraid that the old lady would not think about it.
But in the end, looking at the old wife, over the years, in order to worry about the family, the eight children have to be raised and raised, and they have to find relatives for them, and it is really tiring to see them marry wives and children, and get married.
Just for the second child's words, the old wife has had no regrets for so many years, and it is enough!
Otherwise, no matter how much the eldest sister-in-law of any family is like a mother, she can't do such a job! For the old wife's dedication over the years, who in the capital doesn't boast about the good family style? The relatives of several children are also because of the reputation of old wives, and they are all good in-laws.
These are the contributions of the old wife! For this sake, I don't want to blame her!
Of course, because Niuniu and the real fourth child have been found, the children are reunited, and the little sister is persuaded in the middle, and the mother now feels a little sorry for the old wife!
Therefore, Gu Changqing also acquiesced to the meaning of the eldest lady of the Gu family, both of them are people who plan for a rainy day, and with this idea, they naturally want to do their best.
I typed countless drafts in my heart early.
But no one expected this day to come so suddenly, and it was actually proposed by Gu Chang, the little brother who had not been recognized for a long time! Then there is a little sister who broke out about the four girls on the side.
It made Gu Changqing immediately make up his mind.
Now that the dust has settled, why is the eldest lady of the Gu family uncomfortable?
The hot potato of the four girls, let's leave it to the people in the second room to worry about! She's not waiting!
