As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Zhang was shocked. It had been a while since Meng Jinyao got married, but her mother-in-law never mentioned the marriage. She thought her mother-in-law felt that Meng Jinyao was too young to be responsible for her responsibilities, so she never mentioned it. She didn't expect that she would mention it today.

Mrs. Chen was not too shocked. This was expected, it was just a matter of time. She turned to look at Mrs. Zhang and saw that Zhang's expression changed a few times. She smiled imperceptibly.

She was originally the mother-in-law who asked her to assist Zhang in taking charge of the middle household in order to balance the eldest family and the second family. Her husband is not too mediocre. He is an official in the Ministry of Rites and a doctor in the fifth-level rites department. Unlike the empty low-level sinecures in the eldest family, he does not need Use the central feeder to prop up your appearance.

Not only did Zhang's expression change, but also Gu Jingsheng's expression changed slightly. After Meng Jinyao married in, he had heard Zhang's analysis. If their eldest family lost the power of middle-income families, they would be half inferior to the second and third families. .

A flash of shock flashed across Meng Jinyao's face, and then she quietly observed the changes in the expressions of everyone present.

Mrs. Gu saw their different expressions and could tell what they were thinking without guessing, so she asked, "Do you have any opinions on this matter?"

Mrs. Zhang quickly came back to her senses and raised a smile: "Mother, my daughter-in-law also feels that it is time for the middle child of the house to be handed over to the third younger brother and sister."

Mrs. Chen glanced at the slightly forced smile on her face, her smile deepened, and she echoed in a warm voice: "Mom, my daughter-in-law also thinks so. The third sister-in-law is Mrs. Hou, and sooner or later she will be in charge of the middle feeder. Now my sister-in-law and I have not yet As a grandmother, you don’t have to take care of your grandson, and you still have time to help out, so you will definitely help your three younger siblings to take care of them as soon as possible.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu nodded slightly and made the final decision: "Since everyone has no objections, then I will hand over the charge of the middle office to A Yao. A Yao is still relatively junior, so the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law can help."

As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Jinyao's voice sounded: "Mother, I have an opinion."

Everyone turned their attention to her, not knowing why.

Mrs. Gu asked: "Ayao, what do you think?"

Meng Jinyao replied: "Mom, my sister-in-law actually told me a long time ago that she wanted to give me the gift, but I refused."

She paused as she spoke, looked at Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Chen, and said humbly: "I am still relatively inexperienced, so I may not be qualified for the job. My eldest sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law are in charge well, so why not let them continue to take charge? I usually ask more questions." It’s not too late for them to learn and take over the medium-feedback system after they’ve learned it well, what do you think?”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.

This is a good opportunity to monopolize the power of the middle child. If she is a daughter-in-law from another family, it would take a lot of effort to snatch it from the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law. It would be better for her. Her mother-in-law spontaneously handed over the middle child to her. She actually refused?

The pigeon she had received had flown away, and now it was about to fly back. In a short period of time, Zhang's mood had gone through ups and downs. She looked at Meng Jinyao in disbelief, seeing that she didn't seem to be pretending to shirk. For a moment, she was a little confused and didn't understand why she was like this.

Mrs. Chen was also very puzzled. If it were someone else, she would have already agreed to take charge of the power of the middle minister. In a high-ranking family, it is a symbol of the power and status of a woman in the inner house.

After a moment of silence, Gu Jingxi opened her lips and said, "Mom, if that's the case, then let the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law jointly manage the affairs of the middle class. It won't be too late to let A-Yao have enough experience to be competent."

Since the direct son and daughter-in-law have said this, Mrs. Gu, even though she has doubts in her heart, does not want to force her. She nodded gently: "That's fine. The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law will continue to control the middle son."

Mrs. Zhang and Ms. Chen responded with smiles: "Yes, mother."

Afterwards, the family chatted for a while, and Mrs. Gu was tired, so she sent them away.

Everyone had different thoughts and left Shou'an Hall one after another.

Mrs. Zhang and Ms. Chen were walking together. Although the two sisters usually fought openly and secretly, for things like today, they could only chat with each other and not with Meng Jinyao.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Meng Jinyao who had followed Gu Jingxi to another road, and asked softly: "Second brother and sister, what do you think the third brother and sister mean by what they did today? Looking at the commotion she made with her parents' family, it doesn't look like she is incompetent to serve as a middle school student. Look."

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen paused slightly, glanced at her intriguingly, and replied: "What does she mean by this? For my sister-in-law, the result is the most important, isn't it?"

Zhang's face suddenly froze, and she sneered: "Isn't this a good result for the second brother and sister?"

Mrs. Chen pursed her lips and said with a smile: "No matter what the outcome is, I don't care. After all, the second master is still doing well. We, the second wife, don't need to rely on the palm feed to improve our status in the house."

A light word, but it stabbed Mrs. Zhang hard in the heart. Mrs. Zhang's face suddenly turned ugly. Her husband was the most mediocre of the three brothers in his generation. He was embarrassed by his big responsibilities. He had been working hard for half his life and had nothing to show for it. After becoming famous, she had only a sinecure to receive a salary, and the status of their eldest family was only raised because she was in charge of the central government.

Mrs. Chen looked at her dark face, and the curvature of her mouth deepened, and then said: "Sister-in-law, since the third brother and sister don't want to be in charge of the middle feeder, then we will help her take care of it. When she wants to take charge of it, we can hand it back to her."

Zhang heard it, but felt bad in her heart. The things she was reluctant to let go of were easily accessible to others. Although they were still in her hands, as long as others wanted to go back, she would have to return them.

Ms. Chen persuaded her with gentle words: "Sister-in-law, don't think too much. It's useless to worry about things that don't belong to us. Just cherish the present moment. At least we have had it before, right?"

Mrs. Zhang took a deep breath, suppressed the displeasure in her heart, and replied with a smile: "What the second brother and sister said is true, but although our eldest brother is not living up to expectations, Xiuwen is still living up to expectations, and the third brother has to grow up in the mountain himself." I was recommended to go to Lingshan Academy."

After she finished speaking, Chen's smile faltered.

Seeing that the game was finally won, the smile on Mrs. Zhang's face became more genuine, and the joy in her heart was beyond words. Her essays caught the eyes of the third bedroom and her mother-in-law, and she might really be adopted to the third bedroom as the heir apparent. ? As long as her son becomes the heir, what does it matter if she can't give him the gift? Xiu Wen is her biological son, will she not help her in the future?

Mrs. Chen looked at her face as if she was a villain and felt depressed. She smiled half-heartedly and said, "Sister-in-law, there are some things that I haven't said yet. Be careful, the greater your expectations, the greater your disappointment. Maybe you haven't thought about this at all." , but you think too much."

Hearing this, Ms. Zhang's face paused, pretending not to understand what she said, and replied: "Why can't I understand the words of my second brother and sister? Our family is studying in Lingshan Academy. What else can we think about? Will he be able to do it in the future? In high school, it all depends on his own abilities, and we as parents can’t influence the outcome.”

Mrs. Chen said meaningfully: "In the end, you really can't control it. I can only wish my sister-in-law that all her wishes come true."
