Aunt Qin San heard this and knew that Uncle Qin San didn't understand what she meant. She explained, "Our Qin family is getting better and better because of Afang and his wife. Erya's husband Afang will definitely be promoted. Even if it's just an ordinary job, Afang will definitely take care of it. Isn't that right?"
Uncle Qin frowned: "What do you want to say?" They have talked about this many times. Ah Fang is considerate of their feelings, so he will definitely take it into consideration. Why are you talking about this now
Aunt Qin San said: "So I was thinking, instead of letting Er Ya recruit a stranger as her son-in-law, it would be better to recruit my nephew from my mother's family as her son-in-law, so that Fang can promote his own people. Isn't that what Second Aunt is doing today?"
Uncle Qin thought for a moment and said, "That's possible. Why didn't I think of it before? But, is my nephew from my mother's family willing to marry into my family?"
Aunt Qin: "Even if you don't want to, we can still agree that the first child will have our surname, just like what Ah Fang's wife said before, is that okay?"
Uncle Qin thought about it carefully. The people in his mother-in-law's family were nice and not the kind of people who would make trouble, so it was indeed possible to find a son-in-law from there. However, "I have no objection to this, but Erya has to live with us after she gets married." He only had one daughter, so he hoped that after she got married, she and her son-in-law would live with them.
Aunt Qin: "Then I'll talk to my family."
Uncle Qin: "Let's discuss this with Dad and Mom tomorrow."
Aunt Qin: "Hey."
The next day
There were guests yesterday, so everyone in the family slept a little late, so Yang Haiyan got up late today. The masters of each courtyard in the general's mansion are responsible for their own meals, so even if they get up late, it will not affect their meals.
After Yang Haiyan got up and was about to eat, the little bun made a soul-stirring cry, saying he was hungry. So she fed him first and then ate. In this way, she was late for dinner.
While she was eating, Qin's mother came with Qin Daya.
Among the three meals the next day, Yang Haiyan was more particular about breakfast, taking both protein and carbohydrates into consideration. At this moment, there were fried eggs, buns, and cucumbers on the table.
Seeing Qin's mother and Qin Daya coming in, Yang Haiyan said, "Mother, sister, do you want to eat something?"
Mother Qin and Daya Qin's breakfast was naturally rich, so they were full. Hearing Yang Haiyan's invitation, Mother Qin said, "No, no, we just ate."
Qin Daya: "I don't want it either. Please take your time eating, sister-in-law." After saying that, she went to look at the little dumpling in the cradle beside her.
Mother Qin sat down next to Yang Haiyan and said, "When we were having breakfast today, Third Uncle and Third Aunt came to discuss something. It was about finding a son-in-law for Erya."
As soon as she said this, Nanny Lian who was inside went outside. Even though no one would come here, she still had to guard the door.
Yang Haiyan's eyes lit up when she heard what Qin's mother said. You can't blame her for gossiping. In ancient times, there was nothing interesting except gossip. So, she likes to listen to gossip now. But there was no gossip to listen to before. This time, when the second branch of the Qin family came, there was a lot of gossip. It's no wonder that they are the second branch of the Qin family.
Yang Haiyan: "Is there another problem with Erya's son-in-law search?"
Mother Qin said, "No, it was your third aunt who told grandma that she wanted to recruit a son-in-law from her nephew. I think your second aunt found a nephew from her nephew's family as a son-in-law, so your third aunt had this idea. But it's also true that our Qin family is doing well, so it makes sense for them to find a nephew from her nephew's family to marry. This is called keeping the good things within the family."
Yang Haiyan heard this and said, "Then mother didn't agree to the marriage between my third sister and Tadpole."
Mother Qin said, "To be frank, it's Tadpole who is not ambitious. If he has a promising future, I won't reject him. No matter how close her family is, can they be closer than my own daughter? But if her family is reliable, then marriage is good for my daughter."
Yang Haiyan didn't refute after hearing this, as that was how people in ancient times lived. She just said, "I don't approve of marriage between relatives. From now on, I won't agree for our little Baozi, including his children, to marry relatives, unless they are within the five degrees of mourning." However, the Qin family did not have the five degrees of mourning, but she was afraid that Qin's mother or Qin Daya would have this situation in the future, so she took precautions in advance.
Mother Qin hadn't thought of this. Hearing Yang Haiyan's firm tone, she asked in confusion, "Why?"
Qin Daya looked at the child and felt curious.
Yang Haiyan said, "When I was in the capital, I saw a family like this. They were cousins, but the girl got pregnant three times. She lost the baby twice, and the third time the baby was a fool. The family was well-off, so they invited a miracle doctor to treat the foolish child. But the doctor said that the disease could not be cured. Mother, do you know why?"
An incurable disease? Mother Qin thought for a moment and said, "Is this a disease she brought from her mother's womb?"
Yang Haiyan said: "No, this is inherited from my parents. The miracle doctor said that when cousins, or cousin brothers and sisters, who are related by blood within five generations, get married, either the baby will not be able to be kept during pregnancy, or the baby will be a fool. Even if the baby is not a fool, the brain will not be very smart. When a man and a woman who are not related by blood get married, the blood passed on to the child will conflict. So, if a family can give birth to a healthy child, it is definitely good luck." Using the terms of modern medicine, about genes and so on, Qin's mother would definitely not understand, so Yang Haiyan used this simple and easy-to-understand way.
When Mother Qin heard this, she was shocked. Fortunately, she did not agree to the marriage between San Ya and Tadpole. Mother Qin would not doubt Yang Haiyan's words. She knew that her daughter-in-law was well-informed. It can be said that in the Qin family, Yang Haiyan's words are more effective than anyone else's, and sometimes even more effective than Qin Fang's. Because in the minds of the elders of the Qin family, Yang Haiyan came from the capital and had more experience than them and Qin Fang.
Moreover, Yang Haiyan has a good personality and is the most virtuous daughter-in-law (granddaughter-in-law) in their hearts, so they trust Yang Haiyan very much.
Mother Qin: "Should we persuade the second and third wives?"
Yang Haiyan said: "Let's not have it. First of all, Erya's marriage has been decided. If Second Aunt refuses to listen, she will think that we don't approve of the marriage, and that will create enmity. Secondly, the doctor also said that it is just a matter of probability. Not every blood relative will have a child with problems. So what if Erya's child is a good one? Then we will have no way to defend ourselves in the future.
Moreover, there are many blood relatives marrying each other nowadays, and many children are born healthy, so my second and third aunts would not believe it.
I don’t care about other people, as long as I can take care of my own children.”
Mother Qin agreed. She didn't like to care about the affairs of the second and third rooms. As long as the first room was fine, she would wake up. Speaking of the first room, Mother Qin had an idea: "Yan Yan, what do you think of Miss Li?"
Yang Haiyan's heart skipped a beat: "What does mother mean?"
Mother Qin smiled and said, "I thought Shouye is already seventeen years old. He has learned a lot from me and Afang. He has been living in the military camp recently. He is surrounded by men and no girls, so I want to find him a wife. I don't have any girls I know, but I think Miss Li is good. Doctor Li works for Afang and takes our pulse every month. We are familiar with Miss Li and she has learned a lot. I think this girl is good. What do you think of her and Shouye?"
How about it
What can Yang Haiyan say about this? From her perspective, she naturally doesn't want anything that will damage Qin Fang's reputation to exist, nor does she like anything that will cause trouble for Qin Fang in the future. But if Qin Shouye and Miss Li are in love, she can't stop it, right? But the problem is... They can't tell Qin's mother and others about Miss Li's affairs, after all, this is a matter of privacy. And Miss Li has been hurt enough by such an incident. If this matter spreads, won't it cost her life
But directly rejecting Qin's mother would not work either.
Yang Haiyan thought for a moment and said, "How about mother, I ask Doctor Li first. I heard that Miss Li seemed to have a fiancé before, but I don't know the details." She first gave Mother Qin a hint so that she wouldn't put too much hope on her. At the same time, she also hoped that she would be more cautious, so she used the fact that Miss Li had a fiancé to ease her thoughts.
Mother Qin said, "It's okay if she had a fiancé before, as long as the breakup is clean and clear. We are not unreasonable people. Then you can ask Doctor Li and see what he thinks. If he has no objection, I will ask Shouye. If both parties have no problem, I will formally propose it to Doctor Li."
The main reason was that the second and third wives had proposed marriages one after another, and Qin's mother thought of Qin Shouye, so she was a little anxious. Besides, Qin Shouye was seventeen years old this year, and it was time to get married. She didn't mention it last year because they had just come out of Baili Village last year, and she thought her son didn't have much ability, and it would be difficult to find a good girl. This year, her son has learned a lot from his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and he has some ability, so he can find a good girl. As a mother, she also considers many factors for the sake of her children.
Yang Haiyan said: "Okay, I will talk to Mr. Li about it."
After hearing Yang Haiyan's words, Qin's mother was relieved. However, she had one thing to worry about: "Yanyan, look at our Royal Grain Factory. This year is definitely busier than last year. This year, more people are planting potatoes and sweet potatoes than last year. Do we need to recruit more workers?" Potatoes and sweet potatoes have higher yields than other crops. In the past, not many were planted because they could not be sold. Since the Royal Grain Plan was introduced last year, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them. Therefore, people have planted them, and some are even planting them on wasteland.
Yang Haiyan said: "That's right, we can decide based on the situation at that time. Speaking of this, my father and mother really worked hard last year."
Mother Qin said, "It's not hard, it's much easier than working in the fields." She would be happy if she had something to do. For someone like her who can't stop, if she has nothing to do, she really can't get used to it. However, "Yan Yan, if you want to hire someone, how about looking at Daya and her husband?"
