Provoking the villain, madly criticizing the tyrant for kidnapping my sedan chair for the bridal cha
Chapter 212 No matter how good you are in the exam, it’s not as comfortable as having someone on you
"Xia Xia, you can't compare like this!"
"Your mother and your second aunt are two people with different personalities."
Xu Taohua let out a long sigh, recalling the eldest daughter-in-law's demeanor in her mind.
Without comparison, there is no harm.
"When your mother first came to the Lin family, she had a very cold temperament, but she would never say anything harmful."
"Take the matter of failing the exam. Your father failed the exam more often than your second uncle."
"Your mother has never said anything discouraging to your father; your father treats your mother better and better."
"But your second aunt is full of dislike and dissatisfaction, which gradually dampens your second uncle's enthusiasm for her."
"As time goes by, your second aunt is envious of your father's kindness to your mother, and secretly hates that your second uncle doesn't treat her as well as your father treats your mother."
"Xia Xia, she doesn't even have to think about it. A single thread cannot make a thread, and a single tree cannot make a forest. Their marriage will only last for your second uncle!"
"When they first got married, your second uncle treated your second aunt as well as your father treated your mother at the beginning. Your second aunt didn't get pregnant for a year, and I never said anything wrong to her."
Xu Taohua couldn't help but regret and shed tears when she thought of the injustice her second son had suffered over the years.
Seeing the old lady crying sadly, Lin Lixia took a handkerchief to wipe the old lady's tears.
"Grandma, I heard you say this. When you acted as a matchmaker for my second uncle, was my second uncle also attracted to my second aunt?"
"Fancy it." Xu Taohua wiped away her tears and recalled the past.
"Chenjia Village is right next door to our village. When your second aunt was not married, she had a pretty good reputation and had a good relationship with her sister-in-law."
"Every time her sister-in-law meets someone, she always praises her sister-in-law for being virtuous and capable, for her good character, and for her ability to take care of the housework..."
"In short, we can't find two girls within ten miles of you who can be praised by your sister-in-law like your second aunt."
Hearing this, Lin Lixia felt that this routine was very familiar. Isn't this just to build momentum?
"Grandma, you proposed marriage to my second uncle just because my second aunt was praised by her sister-in-law?"
Seeing her granddaughter's shocked eyes, Xu Taohua was silent for a moment and said nothing.
"Before we proposed the marriage, I asked your second uncle to borrow a sickle from their house. Your second uncle saw it and was very satisfied, so I asked a matchmaker to propose the marriage."
"Borrowing a sickle?" Lin Lixia's eyes were full of shock. The ancients could meet each other by borrowing a sickle, and it was not a completely blind marriage.
"Grandma, I heard what you said. My second uncle and second aunt met before the marriage, and they both agreed to the marriage.
If they live like this, they blame themselves, not you and my grandfather. You should stop blaming yourself for their mistakes. "
Knowing that her granddaughter was trying to untie her, Xu Taohua didn't feel relaxed at all.
"Xia Xia, children are all debts. How many parents don't blame themselves if their children are not doing well?"
After Xu Taohua finished speaking, she glanced at Yang Wuming and Yang Wuliang who were eating sweets next to them.
"Thanks to your help, my sister-in-law is now living a comfortable life with several children."
"Unlike your second uncle, the four children are not close to him. Who will he look to when he gets old?"
Lin Lixia didn't want to get involved in the elders' matters, so she could only give the old lady peace of mind.
"Grandma, my second uncle has already been admitted to the scholar examination. As long as he continues to take the examination, might it be possible to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi in the future?"
Xu Taohua sighed softly, "No matter how good you are in the exam, it's not as comfortable as having someone on your pillow who cares about you!"
"..." Lin Lixia couldn't refute what she said and could only divert the old lady's attention.
"Grandma, regarding my eldest brother's marriage, are you going to let him borrow a sickle or borrow a book?"
"..." Xu Taohua was silent for a while, looking through the window at Lin Lidong who was busy outside.
"Xia Xia, since our family became rich, many people have come to talk about your eldest brother's marriage. Grandma always used her talent test to get out."
"Some time ago, your eldest brother passed the examination to be a scholar, and more people came to see you. Grandma had to wait for your eldest brother to come back to evade her."
"Today, grandma deliberately wore this ostentatious gold jewelry to show off, just to make some people retreat."
Lin Lixia understood what the old lady said, "Grandma, do you want to find a wife with a higher family status for my eldest brother?"
"Yes!" Xu Taohua nodded.
"Xia Xia, from the comparison between your mother and your second aunt, we can see that those who are educated and literate are definitely more sensible.
Grandma can't tell her enthusiastic relatives directly, is she afraid that they will say that we dislike the poor and love the rich? "
"Grandma, when people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. It's normal for you to think like this."
Lin Lixia comforted the old lady: "Our family needs money now. My eldest brother was admitted as a scholar when he was only eighteen years old. He has achieved a small amount of success from all over the country. It is true that the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law cannot be married casually."
Xu Taohua felt that her granddaughter's words hit her heart: "Xiaxia, grandma thinks so, but she doesn't know how to reject those relatives?"
"There is also your second brother's marriage. More and more relatives are coming to mention your marriage... In the end, it all depends on our family's wealth."
Hearing this, Lin Lixia remembered a saying - poor people in the busy city have no one to ask for, while rich people have distant relatives in the mountains.
"Grandma, when people ask about my eldest brother's marriage, you just say that my eldest brother wants to pass the exam first and then talk about the marriage."
"When people ask about my second brother's marriage, you just say that my second brother will wait until my eldest brother gets married before talking about the marriage."
"When someone asks me about my marriage, just say that my two brothers are not married, so it's not my turn!"
The old lady became anxious when she heard this: "Xia Xia, if you say this, if your eldest brother fails to pass the examination next year, won't he have to wait three years?"
"Grandma, this is to shirk relatives." Lin Lixia was silent for a moment and said: "After the Chinese New Year, I will contact the merchants we cooperate with to find a literate wife for my eldest brother?"
"Okay!" When Xu Taohua heard this, her gloom suddenly turned bright and she felt energetic: "Xia Xia, someone wants to ruin your second brother's promotion banquet, but grandma won't let them get their way."
Seeing the old lady full of energy and full of energy, Lin Lixia thought of another thing.
"Grandma, do you remember the people who just made slanderous remarks and teased Second Aunt? Make a list and we won't let them work in our workshop after the new year!"
"That's not necessary!" Xu Taohua stood up with a smile: "After we got rich, who didn't compliment us while saying mean things behind our backs?"
"If you don't let them come to work in the workshop, it will cut off their way to make money, and other troubles will easily arise."
"They can say something mean if they want to. Grandma just thinks they are envious and jealous and doesn't care!"
After saying that, the old lady touched the big gold bracelet on her wrist and walked out.
Seeing that the old lady was so open-minded, Lin Lixia thought about it and thought it made sense.
The old lady's mood at this time is in line with the saying on the Internet: "I like to see you hate me and be unable to kill me."
Now those people who say mean words behind her back are envious and jealous of the old lady, say mean words at the same time, and they also think of ways to compliment the old lady.
Thinking about it from the perspective of an old lady, it’s actually pretty cool!
At this time, Yang Mingwu suddenly said: "Sister Lixia, my father came to see my mother!"
