How could a girl like Xie Ronglan make such a stupid mistake?

It's winter, do you sleep with the windows closed?

When Lu Jie said this, coupled with his smile that clearly had some meaning, the faces of the Xie family members all looked bad.

That's all it takes to say directly that it's not that they don't want to send Xie Ronglan back, it's that Xie Ronglan himself doesn't want to come back!

Lu Jie actually didn't have much idea about his niece-in-law, and he didn't have much contact with her. Besides, the Lu family's life was good and they didn't miss her a bowl of rice.

But who would have thought that this girl is so arrogant?

If his mother had not mentioned those things to him, Lu Jie would not have lost his temper at Xie Xiuying, nor would he have agreed to his mother threatening her with divorce.

In the final analysis, Xie Ronglan was still too arrogant, and the Lu family did not dare to cause trouble for him.

Lu Jie is now the shopkeeper, and he can get ten taels of silver per month alone. Coupled with various benefits, he can make an income of at least one hundred and fifty taels in a year.

He is not the only one in the Lu family. There are parents and brothers who help each other. If it were just him, he might not be able to get such a good job, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't be able to keep it.

Therefore, for the sake of the Lu family, Lu Jie still felt that the niece should be sent back first.

But he couldn't let her ruin his niece's marriage again.

The previous exchanges between the men were not very pleasant, but the advantage was that we were all decent people, so there was no need to expose many of the things they said, as each other knew what they were talking about.

The atmosphere in the backyard was a bit weird at this time.

Grandma Xie has been really persuaded by Mrs. Gao these days. She is thinking of letting her eldest granddaughter stay in Fucheng and marry a good family. She can also help Brother Hui in the future. Even if the second child wins the imperial examination in the future,

, the life of the eldest family will not be too sad.

Unexpectedly, she had just mentioned this matter and Xie Xiuying's face collapsed.

"Auntie, it's not that I don't want Rong Lan to marry in Fucheng. It's really inappropriate. Her parents are both here, so how can I, the aunt, do the marriage?"

Mrs. Gao on the side quickly flattered her: "Look at what my sister is saying, you are her aunt. This aunt-nephew relationship is an old saying that has been passed down since ancient times. Moreover, Sister Lan has been close to you since she was a child, so you should treat Lan as well."

Hello sister, can we still believe you?"

Behind the scenes, she was also thinking of asking Xie Xiuying to help with a wedding in Fucheng.

Is this difficult?

If you just want to marry in Fucheng, it is not difficult.

After all, not all cities in the city are rich and wealthy, but more of them are ordinary people.

But she could clearly hear what her mother and sister-in-law said. They wanted Xie Ronglan to marry into a good family, even if it wasn't from a high family, at least from a wealthy family.

This is somewhat difficult to do.

Because Xie Xiuying knew that Xie Ronglan looked down upon ordinary stewards and shopkeepers.

Xie Ronglan claims that she has good looks, and always thinks that she can win the eyes of those young men. But the problem is that your family background does not match. No matter how good you look, in the end, you will only be a concubine, not even as good as an ordinary concubine.

.

Therefore, Xie Xiuying did not really want to take this job.

The main reason is that my sister-in-law doesn't have a very good temper. If she doesn't get what she says, I don't know how to arrange it for her.

Xie Xiuying didn't know what Xie Ronglan did in private, and there was no evidence for such things. The Lu family couldn't tell her directly. If there was a fight, it would be said that the Lu family was too narrow-minded. Who would let her know?

You have no evidence?

In the final analysis, it's all the petty thoughts of some women, deliberately flirting and throwing something away. If Xie Ronglan doesn't admit it, the reason is easy to find.

It's just that the old lady of the Lu family can't tolerate such a relative. This is tantamount to causing trouble for her family. She was originally proposing to marry a girl from the Lu family. Why are you, a person with a foreign surname, showing off here?

Xie Xiuying didn't know the inside story, but she still kept in mind what her mother-in-law and her husband said before going out.

"Aniang, sister-in-law, I'm not my aunt and I won't help her. If we talk about the marriage in Fucheng, it's not impossible. But Sister Lan is very ambitious and ordinary people don't like her. I think it's better to come back to Gaoyang County to find a wife.

A well-off family is more reliable. Or you can find a scholar, your future is the most important thing."

Mr. Gao disagrees with this. There are neither many nor few scholars in Gaoyang County, but how many can really pass the examination?

Her brother-in-law has taken the exam twice, didn't he fail both times?

Mr. Gao was a money-loving man, and he only wanted to live a good life with fine clothes and fine food. Naturally, he thought it would be best to marry the girl into a high family. If that didn't work, he would have to marry a wealthy businessman.

Business registration means business registration. They don't choose this. Anyway, they marry into the husband's family. As long as they can bring benefits to their parents' family in the future, that's all.

Gao thought so, so naturally he said so.

"Xiuying is a lucky person. Her brother-in-law treats you well and her family background is also good. We don't have any other requirements. Whether it's fame or not, you just need to be from a wealthy family. We don't ask for much else, at least.

It will allow our sister Lan to live a life of being served by maids and slaves."

After Mrs. Gao finished speaking, seeing that Xie Xiuying remained silent, she added, "I know my sister is capable. You are living a good life in Fucheng. The people here are all from wealthy families. We don't have to marry into any high-ranking family.

As long as the family has a small income, a shop with three or five rooms will be enough."

Is this requirement too low?

Xie Xiuying's lips curled up slightly, and it took a while before she calmed down.

Are there three or five shops in Fucheng?

What kind of family is that?

This is based on a family background that is even better than that of the Lu family!

Although the Lu family is living a good life in Fucheng now, they only have some land under their name and no shops. Lu Jie is working for his brother-in-law's family. Are the shops in Fucheng so good?

A smaller shop, with a good location, would cost at least four to five hundred taels of silver, and just buying the shop would be the end of it?

Don't you have to support yourself to make a living?

If you just rent it out, you can get up to eighty or ninety taels of silver per year. If you run your own business, you will need capital. After all, a small shop will cost six to seven hundred taels of silver.

But Mr. Gao still dares to say that he wants to have a shop with three to five rooms in Fucheng?

Do you really think you are from a wealthy family?

Xie Xiuying's smile was a bit perfunctory now.

"Sister-in-law, this condition is too high. I don't know anyone with such wealth. Sister-in-law, you should find someone else."

Gao Shi stared, then became anxious.

"How do you say this? I heard from Sister Lan that the girls from the Lu family only look for people from prominent families in the city. Why do I just say that they are from an ordinary wealthy family, and my sister just shirks it like this?"
