Xue Han found this very interesting. "Mom, what's the point of this?"
Zhu Lan curved her eyes, "Because, a maid who is always strong in everything cannot see clearly her own status. She is not only willing to show off her ability but also willing to give orders to her master, which easily brings trouble to her master. As for a maid who only knows how to do things, she always looks at her own little piece of land. She cannot protect her master, but is likely to become a burden to her master."
Xue Han pondered it carefully for a while, her eyes brightened, "Mom, what you said makes so much sense."
Zhulan chuckled, "Look how excited you are. What mother said is not accurate. It's just that mother is cautious by nature and tries to avoid trouble."
In her modern experience, she doesn't need people who are too smart or self-righteous to work for her. She likes humble people who can adapt to the environment and quickly absorb the knowledge they need to enrich themselves. She also likes hardworking people who try to make up for their own shortcomings, constantly broaden their horizons and make progress slowly.
Although the employees under her would not produce results immediately, after continuous efforts, they all had a solid foundation. They went from making mistakes from time to time, to rarely making mistakes, and then to basically making no mistakes before she traveled through time. Each of them has a strong comprehensive ability.
Of course, everyone has different opinions and their own standards, but she is a cautious person and doesn't like trouble. This is just her standard.
Zhulan let out a long sigh. She had worked so hard to train up a team, and she had thought that the team would be able to stand on its own so that she could have more time to rest. However, she did not expect to be transported to the ancient times and start a life of worry and worry. She was so upset!
Zhulan was upset and didn't want to talk anymore. She said to her daughter, "I will teach you later."
Zhao listened very carefully. Her own mother had never taught her these things because her perspectives were different. Her own mother could not teach her either. All she could teach her was to protect herself, be patient, and give in. But what her mother-in-law taught her made so much sense, and she wanted to listen more!
Zhao really envied her sister-in-law. Who was the most blessed in this family? In her eyes, her sister-in-law was the most blessed. As soon as she was sensible, the Zhou family moved up step by step. What her sister-in-law wore and used was no worse than that of a young lady. Once she bought a maid, she would be a real young lady. When her father-in-law became an official, her sister-in-law would be a young lady from an official family.
Although the engagement was done very early, she did not feel it was a pity. Her vision was not high, but she could see the contradiction of the mismatch in social status from Mrs. Dong. The rich family married their daughter to the poor family, and her sister-in-law would suffer if she married into a rich family. It would be better to get the engagement now. Rongchuan was a good student, and he was raised by his parents-in-law. With this affection, her sister-in-law would never suffer any loss in her life!
Zhao thought of her own daughter. Her daughter did not enjoy as much happiness as her sister-in-law because of their different status. Even if her father-in-law was an official, there was still a big gap between her daughter and her sister-in-law. Her daughter could not rely on her brother, so she had to rely on her husband. Her husband was not an official, so even for the sake of her father-in-law, a granddaughter was still far behind.
Zhulan had no idea that Zhao had thought so much in such a short period of time. Zhou Laoer had sent people back, and not only did he come to the main courtyard, he also brought Jiang Sheng's parents and eldest brother.
Zhou Shuren was not at home, so Zhulan brought her second son to receive Jiang Sheng's parents. Tea was ready at home. Zhulan almost couldn't recognize Jiang Sheng's mother. The last time she saw her, Jiang Wangshi was not so thin. Today, she looked so much thinner, and it's only been a few months.
Jiang Wangshi felt her mother-in-law looking at her and her back stiffened. She was angry. She had not been able to eat since she knew that her mother-in-law had become the wife of a juren.
Zhulan set her eyes on the basket they brought. The basket was full of eggs. The most valuable thing was a piece of meat. There was nothing but the child's clothes. Zhulan looked down on the Jiang family more and more. Are they here to cry poor
Jiang Sheng had given up on his biological parents a long time ago, so he was not surprised that they brought these to see his two grandsons.
There was silence in the hall, no one spoke, it was really awkward.
Jiang Sheng's father endured it again and again. He was still thinking about his two grandchildren, "Mother-in-law, we want to see the children."
Zhulan looked at Jiang Sheng, and Jiang Sheng said, "Dad, the child is in the house. I'll take you and mother there."
Zhulan didn't follow. There were too many people in the room and the air was bad, so it was better to sit and wait.
Zhou Laoer had a problem with the Jiang family, "Mom, my sister has been giving birth for three days and the Jiang family just came."
Zhu Lan really didn't care about this. "The first day, the birth was late. Find someone to notify the second day. It's okay to come today. Okay, you get ready to get off the carriage. Jiang Sheng's parents won't stay for long. Send them back later."
The Jiang family doesn't have an ox cart, so it looks like they walked here. Their status and level are different now. They wouldn't have bothered with the Jiang family before, and they won't do that now. Besides, they also have to consider Jiang Sheng's face.
As for Jiang Wangshi's being too stubborn, she could just get out of it herself. However, she thought Jiang Wangshi would get out of it soon. Zhulan couldn't help thinking that the more someone pretends and the more they care about what others think, the more willing they are to get into a rut!
Zhou Laoer saw that his mother's tone was indifferent. Not to mention being angry, he didn't even react. He remained silent. He still had to practice. Look at how calm his mother was.
Zhulan got up and packed some cakes and took out some leftover cloth from making clothes for children. These cloths were best for children. She heard from Xuemei that the eldest son of the Jiang family had a new son.
Jiang Sheng's father came back happily. Having more grandsons meant a prosperous family, especially the youngest son's family. He knew that there was a rift between his youngest son and the Jiang family. He had indeed gone too far, but broken bones are connected with tendons. The youngest son was also a member of the Jiang family. If the youngest son lived well, he would have the face to see his ancestors after his death. As for some people who were jealous of his son being raised by the Yue family, he didn't care. As long as he got benefits, it was fine.
He used to think he could get some benefits, but now he doesn't dare to think about it anymore. Now that his relative-in-law has become a juren, it's better for him to be honest.
Jiang Wangshi also had a smile on her face. The two children were raised well. She thought twins were difficult to raise. But when she really saw them, they were almost the same as full-term ones except that they were a little smaller. Thinking about the clothes her grandson would wear, she sighed deeply. She felt that it was a bit ridiculous for her to be so picky.
Jiang Wang finally spoke, "I'm sorry to trouble you, mother-in-law, with both the child and Xuemei."
Zhu Lan raised her eyebrows. Is Jiang Wangshi getting out of her own way? "One is my own daughter, and the other two are my own grandchildren. It is my duty to take care of them."
Jiang Wangshi didn't want to stay in Zhou's house anymore. The jewelry on Zhou Yangshi was dazzling. She had been pursuing it all her life. When she thought about how she didn't have a single decent piece of jewelry and how much money Zhou Yangshi's bracelet must have cost, she felt upset again. She stood up and said goodbye, "We came here on foot. Now that we've seen that the child is fine and has the care of her mother-in-law, we'll go back first."
Zhulan handed the return gift she had prepared to Zhou Laoer, "We don't have anything good at home, but I heard that my in-laws have a new grandson, so this is a little gift for you."
Zhulan said to Zhou Laoer again, "Send your uncle and aunt back."
Zhou Laoer smiled and said, "Uncle and aunt, there is a carriage at home. I will take you back."
Jiang Sheng looked at his mother-in-law with gratitude and admiration. What a vision!
Zhou Laoer saw it clearly and realized that not only did his mother not take the Jiang family seriously, but she was also giving face to her brother-in-law. After all, the two elders of the Jiang family were his brother-in-law's biological parents. Not giving face to the Jiang family would indirectly hurt his brother-in-law's face. Since his mother gave face to his brother-in-law, he would naturally be grateful to her and treat his sister even better.
Zhou Laoer also said that he took after his mother, but it seems that he did not take after her at all. His mother could see through people's hearts too well, and he learned some from her.
Zhou Laoer realized it and became more friendly to his brother-in-law's parents. "Uncle and aunt, I also brought a water bag. You two can drink if you are thirsty on the road."
Zhulan chuckled, Zhou Laoer was indeed very intelligent.
