Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

"Get up! If you don't, I'll have you three kicked out right away!"

Old Mrs. Lin had a stern face and spoke in a serious tone.

Ding trembled all over and didn't dare to kneel anymore. She pulled Lin Tianya up.

Aunt Cheng quickly held Ding's arm and did not let go until Ding was seated firmly.

Mrs. Ding smiled gratefully at Aunt Cheng, then looked at Old Lady Lin and cautiously asked, "Aunt, the two children..."

"Gou Wa and Tian Ya can stay at the Cheng family."

Mrs. Lin's expression and tone were very calm when she said this, and Mrs. Ding didn't react for a moment to what Mrs. Lin said.

It was not until Lin Tianya poked Ding's waist that Ding woke up from her dream and burst into tears of joy.

"Don't be too happy yet." Old Lady Lin looked up at Mrs. Ding with a stern look on her face. "I'm going to say this in advance, so please listen carefully."

Ding nodded hurriedly, unable to stop smiling: "Hey!"

Old Mrs. Lin opened her mouth and her eyes suddenly met the curious look on Lin Tianya's face.

"The following words are not suitable for children to listen to. Let the maid take Tianya out to play for a while."

Ding nodded immediately and said to Lin Tianya, "Tianya, go out and play for a while, don't run around."

"Then I'll go find my brother."

Lin Tianya was taken by her maid to find Lin Gouwa, leaving only three adults in the room: Old Lady Lin, Aunt Cheng and Mrs. Ding.

Mrs. Ding took a deep breath secretly, and then looked at Mrs. Lin: "Aunt, if you have anything to say, just say it."

“Even if Gou Wa and Tian Ya were raised in Marquis Zhao Ping’s mansion, they are just cousins ​​of the Cheng family. They are different from Xiao Yu, San Ping, and even San Xiong.

Xiaoyu and Sanping are Awan's biological brothers and sisters, so there is no need to say more.

Sanxiong recognized the eldest brother and his wife as his godfather and godmother. He has been kind to our Cheng family and has a life-long friendship with Awan.

Ah Wan treats him as his own brother, the eldest brother and his wife treat him as their own son, and I treat him as my own grandson. He is the young master of this mansion."

Old Lady Lin stared at Ding's somewhat frozen face and continued in a deep voice:

“I say this to tell you that it’s okay for Gou Wa and Tian Ya to stay in the mansion.

It's nothing more than two more people to feed and clothe. The Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion can afford it, and even I, an old woman, can afford to support them myself.

But it is impossible for the two of them to be treated the same as Xiaoyu, Sanping and Sanxiong.

Even if it is the second child, Xing'er's child, coming to Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion, it must be more noble than Gou Wa and Tian Ya."

Aunt Cheng blinked and did not try to make up for what Old Lady Lin said.

There's nothing to make up for.

Although it sounds harsh, it is true and it must be so.

"I, I understand, I understand." Mrs. Ding nodded and forced a smile at Old Mrs. Lin.

Old Mrs. Lin smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes: "You understand too little."

Ding looked puzzled.

Old Lady Lin lowered her eyes and covered one of her hands with the other, then raised her eyes:

"This different treatment is not only reflected in the children's daily lives, but also in their marriages.

Xiaoyu, Sanping and Sanxiong, when the three of them get married in the future, everything will be taken care of by the eldest daughter-in-law, or it is more likely that Awan will take care of them personally.

As for Gou Wa and Tian Ya, their marriage was mainly supported by me, an old woman.

All the expenses for the children's marriage, such as betrothal gifts and dowries, are mainly paid by me, an old woman."

Old Lady Lin looked at Ding, her eyes seemed to be able to see into Ding's heart:

“The simplest thing is that Tianya’s dowry in the future will definitely not be comparable to Xiaoyu’s dowry.

The betrothal gifts that Gou Wa will give to the woman when he gets married in the future will definitely not be as much as the betrothal gifts that Sanping and Sanxiong give to the woman when they get married.

Of course, if the two children work hard in the future, have skills and make a lot of money, that is their own destiny, and we are all happy for them from the bottom of our hearts.”

Ding swallowed and lowered her head in panic.

"My dear niece, I have already told you all the ugly things clearly. Now I will tell you some nice words from the bottom of my heart."

Mrs. Ding raised her head and looked into the eyes of Mrs. Lin again.

“You are right, Gou Wa and Tian Ya’s last name is Lin, and they are my great-nephews and great-nieces.

I am the biological aunt of the two children, so I will try my best to protect them and treat them well.

When my two children get married in the future, I will do my best to find a good match for them, so that they can marry in style and dignity."

Mrs. Ding wanted to cry again, but she held it back.

"The eldest son's wife is a good-tempered person, she will not treat the two children badly.

As for A Wan, she values ​​friendship the most. As long as Gou Wa and Tian Ya treat her sincerely, she will also treat Gou Wa and Tian Ya sincerely.

These nice words above are true regardless of whether the two children are raised in the mansion or not."

At this point, Old Lady Lin sighed deeply and continued:

"You have lived for half of your life, you should know this person, but he is afraid of comparison.

There are many advantages to keeping the two children in the mansion, but there are other children in the mansion.

It's fine in the short term, but if it lasts for a long time, will the two children feel dissatisfied and feel unfair, thus developing jealousy? "

"No! No!" Mrs. Ding shook her head repeatedly: "Aunt, Gou Wa and Tian Ya are both honest children. They know that their last name is Lin, and they won't compare themselves with Xiao Yu and the others. They definitely don't have any bad intentions."

"I know that the two children are honest and kind-hearted now, and they don't have any bad intentions, but what about the future? Can you guarantee that the two children will not have any bad intentions in the future?"

Mrs. Ding really wanted to say, "I can guarantee it," but she also understood that what Mrs. Lin said was completely reasonable.

It is really difficult for people to withstand the test of comparison, especially when they are together for a long time.

"Then...what should we do? Aunt, you can't just ignore these two children. Aunt, these two children are honest by nature, they are good children! Aunt..."

Old Mrs. Lin raised her hand to stop Mrs. Ding from crying: "I have a way to have the best of both worlds. Let's hear it and see if it works."

"Okay! Okay! You say, aunt."

"I bought a small courtyard for my two children near Cheng's house.

I have provided all the food, clothing and daily necessities for the maids and servants.

That is the home of the two children. The two children are members of the Lin family and don’t need to be members of the Cheng family.

The two children have their own family and treat the Cheng family as relatives. This not only provides them with protection, but also helps them avoid future troubles."

Ding's brows were tightly furrowed.

As soon as Old Mrs. Lin saw Mrs. Ding's expression, she knew what she was thinking.

She took a breath and said angrily:

“Is it so pleasant to live under someone else’s roof?!

The two children have their own home. They can come to Cheng Mansion anytime they want, and don’t have to come if they don’t want to. How free and happy are they?!

Besides, I won’t ignore the two children after they have their own families!

I have told you both the good and the bad. Think about it carefully. If you really want the two children to live in the house, I have no objection.

Even if the two children go astray in the future, Ah Wan will not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes!"
