The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again

Chapter 687: The Coveted Minister's Wife 36

The eldest brother of the Pei family said, "The Jiang family bought the old house and farm of the Pei family. The farm and house both have a share of the eldest brother's house. Even if the 100,000 taels are divided equally among the three brothers, the eldest brother's house should get 33,333 taels!"

The second son of the Pei family agreed very much, "I also think what the eldest brother said makes sense. This is how we should do it."

Madam Pei felt that this was not possible. "The third brother's case was sentenced the day before yesterday. He will be exiled to Lingnan in a month. This will last for ten years. The third brother and you were born in the same womb as me. Now that he is in trouble, we brothers should work together to find a way to prevent him from going so far away. Or, at least, he should not stay in Lingnan for so many years. He is a young man who has never suffered. If he goes to a place like Lingnan, I don't know how many days he can survive!"

Mrs. Pei couldn't help sobbing and crying when she thought about her youngest son.

Admittedly, there was some acting involved, but she was also genuinely worried.

However, neither the eldest brother Pei nor the second brother Pei were so easy to talk to.

Pei Laoda said, "Mother has used up all the remaining connections in the family for the third son these days. Now that the family has finally saved some money, mother is thinking about the third son again. Over the years, our family has used up so many connections and spent so much money for the third son. He is still a son, so mother's heart cannot be biased, right?"

Pei Lao Er also said, "What my eldest brother said is exactly what I wanted to say. The third son is a hopeless case. Our family has done everything for him. But we can't let our family die because of him. Mother, look at my second wife's child. He has become thinner these days because he has not had enough to eat. My aunt's belly is getting bigger and bigger. She will give birth in two months. Are you going to leave your other sons and grandchildren aside just for the sake of one son?"

Not only the eldest and second eldest Pei, but also the eldest and second daughters-in-law were full of complaints. Especially the second daughter-in-law, when Jiang Nanqiu was there, she would go to Jiang Nanqiu's yard to sit for a while, and she would give herself some good things. When Madam Pei was tossing her around, she was responsible for whispering in her husband's ear, asking him not to get involved in these things.

Even Mrs. Pei secretly bought a stake in one of Jiang Nanqiu's shops, and received a dividend of fifty taels of silver every month. Mrs. Pei hid all the silver privately and didn't tell anyone.

By the way, since she had money in her hands, Mrs. Pei II brought more generous gifts to her parents' home these days, and her mother and sister-in-law became much warmer to her.

Mrs. Pei also thought it would be a good idea to divide the silver.

She was really unlucky to marry Boss Pei. Boss Pei was not only uneducated, but also liked gambling. The little monthly income of the first wife was not enough every month. The dowry she brought had been almost squandered. If this continued, the first wife would have to live on poverty.

Mrs. Pei felt dizzy when she saw that the whole family was looking at her with resentment, and she fainted.

Jiang Nanqiu was lying on the imperial concubine bed, waiting to see the good show of the Pei family. Anyway, she had a few people at the Pei family, so it was okay to pass on some information.

However, while Jiang Nanqiu was leisurely relaxing in her own boudoir, Jiang's father and mother could no longer sit still.

Although Jiang Nanqiu's marriage this time was completely a mistake made by the elders in her family, but once you've been married, you've been married. If Jiang Nanqiu wants to marry again, it will be a second marriage. The people she can choose from are not as good as they were a few months before she got married, and there are not as many of them.

Although the Jiang family has enough money to support their daughter for several lifetimes, it is a rule set by the ancestors that women must get married when they reach a certain age.

Although Mr. and Mrs. Jiang had a good business and made a lot of money, they were not immune to the worldly practices.

However, although they were secretly looking for a new son-in-law, Jiang's father and mother were not in a hurry. Their daughter had just jumped out of the fire pit, so she had to rest for a few days.

However, he didn’t expect that less than two days after Jiang Nanqiu returned home, guests came to his house.

Actually, this person is the sister-in-law of Jiang Nanqiu's mother's family. After all, she is an elder and has a high status. She doesn't come to visit easily on weekdays. It's others who go to see her. So the Jiang family went out to greet her together, and then poured tea, offered seats, and greeted her. They were busy for a long time.

The eldest uncle's grandmother was very satisfied, so she smiled and said, "We are all fine, thank you for your concern, but my niece is divorced, and she hasn't found a husband yet, right?"

When everyone heard this, they felt that something was not right, but they could only answer, "Not yet."

Mother Jiang said, "I'm still thinking of keeping her for a while, there's no rush."

Jiang Nanqiu found an excuse to leave.

Seeing that the person concerned had left, the eldest aunt-in-law opened up and said, "I came here today to have a serious talk with you. My niece is about to turn seventeen and there is no time to delay. I just happen to have a good marriage proposal. I guarantee that you will be satisfied. Since she came to me sincerely to ask for it, I naturally have to convey my message. What do you think?"

Everyone was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Father Jiang coughed twice, then asked, "What kind of family is it? Tell me about it."

My uncle's grandmother said, "It turns out that he is an old acquaintance of yours. He is the Lin family who runs a silk and satin shop on Sixth Street. It is said that this is their youngest son, who is 27 years old this year."

When they heard it was that person, the Jiang family members' faces darkened.

My uncle's grandmother noticed that their expressions were not right, so she asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with this kind of person? Although she is a little old, she is not too old, less than 30 years old. Their family runs such a big shop. Although they are not as wealthy as your family, she can still live a very rich life if she marries him."

Jiang Nanqiu's sister-in-law, Sun, saw that some things were inconvenient for them to discuss and could only be discussed by her, the daughter-in-law, so she said, "Aunt, I have vaguely heard that there are many people in the family, with a lot of concubines and maids, many children, and a wife who died. Is that true?"

The eldest uncle's grandmother said, "That's true. He's already this old, so it's natural for him to have a concubine. His first wife died before, and he never remarried. He said he wanted to find someone who can manage the household. The Lin family has been doing business with your family for many years and is familiar with each other. Now that they rely on your family, they will definitely treat their niece well. If she marries, she will be supported by the whole family and live a comfortable life."

Father Jiang couldn't hold back any longer. "His silk and satin shop only makes a few yuan a year. The old man has so many children and grandchildren. If he gets the money, I don't know how many he will have. Not to mention that he has so many women and children. If my daughter marries him, there will be famine!"

The eldest aunt was not happy about it. "It's fine if other families say that, but why do you say that? Even if they don't have money, doesn't our Nan Qiu have her own dowry? Even if it's not so easy, the family can help them a little, which is enough for them to live comfortably. Then the Lin family will worship her as a goddess!"

After hearing this, Jiang's father got even angrier. "He is just a little son. Why should he ask my daughter to support him with her dowry? He is already old, has no official position and no money. He has so many concubines, illegitimate sons and daughters, and his wife died before. Am I crazy to marry my son to him?"

The eldest aunt was unwilling to do so, "You are really old and confused. Nanqiu is my own niece, how can I harm her? There is something I have been reluctant to tell you, for fear that you will be angry. Now it seems that if I don't tell you, you will probably take my kindness for granted."

Jiang's mother's heart tightened, "What is it?"
