Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

And their family simply cannot afford to lose money on property, because Sheng Nuo and Sheng Hong, father and son, only know how to spend money, not make money, and their family can only rely on the property and land of the old house to survive. That's why she is now trying so hard to please Mr. Sheng and Cui, Sheng Xuan and Zhang.

But today, Xiao Lan told her that it was useless to please him like this. She had to do something practical and take on the responsibility of being the eldest grandson's wife. She had no choice but to agree. Although she always thought that doing things like that was thankless and was not what a smart person should do, Xiao Lan's words made her realize that her vision was too narrow and her cleverness backfired.

She also understood that Xiao Lan's words to her today represented the support of Sheng Xuan's family for her. With such support, she would not worry that their family would suffer due to uneven distribution of the family property in the future... Their family would not be unable to survive because of this incident.

Of course, there is another point that Xu Shi has long understood, that is, not only her generation, but also Daya's generation, Daya's next generation, and even her descendants all rely on Shengxuan's family to live... If she now follows Xiaolan's expectations and takes on the responsibility of the old house early, it will obviously satisfy Xiaolan, and satisfying Xiaolan means satisfying Shengxuan's family. Xu Shi has long known how much weight Xiaolan's words carry in this family, so it is also a smart choice for her to do what Xiaolan thinks.

Mrs. Xu was a smart person. She saw the clues from many things. Xiaolan and Xiaowen had become tough. Even if she didn't take the initiative to instigate and let the people in the old house make a mess, she would be blamed in the end. Although Xiaolan said good things just now, Mrs. Xu could still hear her family's dissatisfaction with her from Xiaolan's words. If she couldn't make effective changes after what Xiaolan said today, then in the end, Xiaolan's family would probably hold her responsible. On the other hand, if she could take responsibility, she could rely on Xiaolan's family as a backer. And now it seems that this backer is very reliable, and the future is promising.

Having made up her mind, Mrs. Xu said, "I've been out for half a day, I have to go back... When I go back, I'll do as I said just now... I'll discuss this matter with my third sister-in-law. It's unreasonable in the first place. If the old lady wants to scold me, let her scold me."

Now she would rather let herself be scolded and bear the consequences than let Cui or other people in the old house blame Xiaolan's family again.

Xiao Lan didn't say anything polite and smiled, "Then I'll have to trouble you, sister-in-law." Wasn't the conversation she had just had with Xu just for this? In fact, this matter was very simple to put it in plain words. Xu had protected the people in the old house and prevented them from causing trouble for their family, so their family would naturally protect Xu.

After seeing Xu off and waiting for Xiaolan to get on the kang, Zhang said to Xiaolan, "If I don't go over, will Shenghong's wife be able to fool the old lady?" Zhang said with some concern.

Xiao Lan smiled and said, "Of course you can, mother. Have you forgotten that after all these years, the old lady has never scolded my sister-in-law?"

Zhang said without hesitation, "But I never scolded her."

"That's it," Xiao Lan said with a smile, "Mom, you have nothing to worry about. The eldest sister-in-law is not us. She is trying to save face in front of the old lady."

"It's a pity that your father and Xiaowen are not at home, and Shenghong's wife didn't explain clearly what crime their family had committed." Zhang said.

"It must be a troublesome matter. Hasn't it been reported to the authorities?" Xiao Lan said, "Mom, my dad and Xiao Wen are not at home now. We must not cause trouble for ourselves. Who knows what they have done wrong? We don't have the ability to help them. We must not cause trouble for my dad and Xiao Wen at home. Xiao Wen still has to take the imperial examination..." Xiao Lan said to Zhang.

"Yes, you are right." Zhang nodded repeatedly.

"You knew your father wasn't at home, but you still asked me to go over to discuss it. What can I do? Now that something has happened, you treat me like a dish. You always step on me and don't treat me as a human being." Zhang complained to Xiao Lan, "Even if I go today, I will definitely not get anything good. Her nose is not a nose, and her face is not a face. When she is unhappy, she has to take it out on me. I owe her this and I owe her this..."

"Mom, my dad is not at home, so we just stay at home honestly. We will never go out to cause trouble, and we won't rush to suffer the anger." Xiao Lan said.

While the mother and daughter were whispering to each other at home, there was a commotion at the old house.

When Cui saw that only Xu came back, but Zhang didn't come with her, Cui got angry. "...Why did it take so long? Why didn't she come back? Is she sick? Did she want me to go and invite her in person?"

Xu said that Zhang was ill and was frightened by the orchid incident, so she couldn't come for the time being. "Third sister-in-law is really ill. When she heard about the official, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak. There's nothing we can do. Third uncle and Xiaowen are not at home, and there is no backbone at home. Third aunt wanted to struggle to get up, but I really couldn't bear her..." Xu took all the blame on herself.

"Dad, Mom, what should I do?" Sheng Lanhua burst into tears. "If something happens to Xiao Jin and his father, what should I do? How should I live? I will become a widow by then, without a son. My life will be over... I might as well die early..."

Everyone in the room was waiting for Xu to call Zhang over. Everyone knew that Sheng Xuan and Xiao Wen were not at home, so this matter would not be easy to handle. But if Zhang could help, there would always be some way. At worst, her family could pay... Although Sheng Xuan and Xiao Wen were not at home, if Zhang wanted money, she should be able to get it out... Of course, if Zhang could find a way to rescue them, it would be even better.

They had no choice but to go to Zhang because no one in the house could help. Sheng Lanhua went back to Shengjia Village and cried to Old Man Sheng and Cui, hoping that the old couple would put pressure on Sheng Xuan's family to lend a helping hand.

If Zhang didn't come, there would be no possibility of rescuing the people.

Sheng Lanhua's crying at this time was actually a bit of a show. Xiaoyin saw with her own eyes that her father and elder brother were arrested by the police, and now the grocery store was also closed. She had been scared for a long time. When she heard Sheng Lanhua crying, she also started crying... If her father and elder brother could not come back, and her grocery store was always closed, then from now on, she would be a girl from a poor family.
