Chapter 253 Mother-in-law
"I discussed with Leizi before that I wanted to make this jewelry workshop better, as a pillar industry of the clan, so that there will be a steady flow of money in the future, and the clan will not have to worry about it."
"It was you who came up with the idea of sending people to Jiangnan to learn crafts. You still have a vision, but there is one thing to remind you, don't be too generous."
"You have to take a share of the profits of the clan business, so that you can control the clan. Otherwise, as time goes by, the hearts of the people will grow up. They think it is right for the direct descendants to contribute money and efforts. You owe them what they may give you. What about moths?"
Grandpa Gu prefers Li Yu more than his grandson Gu Lei.
A girl runs her natal family's family business like a raging fire, earns a lot of money, and invests in the school and the cultivation of her children and grandchildren. The Li family's army is becoming more and more tyrannical, and it is inseparable from her silently paying behind her back.
Of course it is Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang who taught well, but also Li Yu's personal ability is very outstanding, and even the Li family's children and grandchildren have been greatly affected. If you don't work hard or work hard, you will be sorry for these medicinal materials and cultivation.
Grandpa Gu thought in his heart that Li Yu was much stronger than the grandson of the Gu family, Erlang. With such a granddaughter, so what about a daughter, she was not much better than a boy.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. In a few days, I have selected someone to go to the farm for training. Do you still have to explain to me?"
Grandpa Gu shook his head, "There's nothing to explain, you just need to slap your hands, you don't have to sweat or blood in training, and you have to die if you go to the battlefield. This is not a matter of mercy."
This is also the reason why Grandpa Gu doesn't care about them. You don't work hard enough, so stay at home and stay safe.
Go and see how the Li family's children and grandchildren trained, how much hardship they endured, and how much blood they shed. Your hard work is not enough to see.
"Okay, with your words, I will be ruthless."
"I didn't say that, if you want to get ahead, you have to pay the price, and the opportunities don't fall from the sky. Your father and brothers are all relying on their own ability to fight for their future, and they don't rely on others to feed them."
Grandpa Gu cast a sideways glance.
"Actually, the brothers of the Gu family have laid a good foundation, but they have been a little slack in the past few years. Just keep tight. They are not too old, so there is time."
"Grandpa, I'm thinking about tidying up the farm when the weather gets hotter, so that the younger children can practice riding and shooting. Our family still needs to have a separate training place."
"OK."
"Let my sister Wan'er take care of the affairs of our mansion, and let the third aunt watch over as long as there are not many people in total, so don't worry, let my sister learn to keep her eyebrows high and her eyes low, so I can free up my hands to do other things. "
"If it doesn't work, let Wan'er stay at home and find someone to marry. I think you have considered it very well."
Grandpa Gu is also planning for his granddaughter.
"Learn your skills first, and don't rush to make a decision."
Li Yu did not rush to make a decision.
In the afternoon, I went to visit my mother-in-law and third aunt.
There are few people in the Gu family's mansion, and Gu Lin doesn't need her to come to greet her early in the morning. She is going to the Buddhist hall to read scriptures and copy scriptures. There is a time collision. Gu Lin said that you have time to come in the afternoon, and you don't need it if you don't have time. You and I It's good to be with the third aunt, so I don't need to greet you every day.
You don’t have to greet me when you get up early, I want to copy the scriptures and recite the scriptures, so you can go on your own.
Gu Lin doesn't care about anything, and doesn't make it difficult for his daughter-in-law, and doesn't ask so many questions at all.
Li Yu went to Third Aunt's place to take a look, and saw that her mother-in-law was also there.
"Mother, Third Aunt, I'm here to visit you. I was busy visiting the old, the weak, and the widowed in the morning, so I made arrangements, but I didn't take care of it."
"Don't worry about us, you are very busy, we have everything ready here, just do your work, don't worry about us, we will send someone to you if necessary."
"Mother, I took a look around at the maids around you. I saw that some of them were approaching their ages. I was thinking that things are not going well this year. Let's arrange to get married earlier, and let the younger ones come up to learn a lesson." , otherwise we won’t be able to pull away the manpower.”
"Okay, Leizi reminded me before, I told their mother-in-law, let them take it back to choose a candidate, tell me when they have chosen, and I will give a dowry."
Gu Lin nodded.
"Then remember to tell me, and I will also give a dowry. Is there any girl in front of you who is useful? Bring it up and learn how to raise eyebrows and lower eyes. No matter what, you have to learn from the big girl for a year and a half before you can be alone." .”
Gu Lin shook his head, "I don't have anyone in particular, you can arrange it for me."
"That's fine, I'll send people to you later, you just pick up the ones you like and use them, and don't care about the rest."
Li Yu saw that Gu Lin didn't care about anything, he really ignored everything, so he just let it go, saving his mother-in-law from being bullied by the girl again.
"Yu'er, your mother is calm and uncontested. She is not a temper that can control others. If you have an idea, just arrange it. Don't be embarrassed. I was the one who took care of it before. Now that you are married, you can help your mother-in-law take care of it. Don't be shy."
The third aunt also explained specifically, fearing that she would not be able to let her go.
Gu Linshi also nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Yes, what your third aunt said is reasonable. In the past, your father-in-law ruled it for me, and later it was Leizi who intervened, and Yue'er also reminded me. From now on, you will help me manage it." Go to the yard, I don’t ask too much. Leizi and your third aunt regularly remind me to give rewards, and sometimes I always forget.”
She is not the person who is in charge of the family, and now she is a widow who prays to Buddha, and she is even more dull.
Li Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, then I'll take care of the yard for you. If you need anything, I'll just tell the girls when I'm not around. If they don't work, just tell me."
"Okay, I will listen to you."
Gu Lin nodded and let his daughter-in-law be her master. There was such a mother-in-law in the first place.
"What did you eat today?"
"I ate a vegetarian meal."
Gu Lin's personality is a bit childish.
"Can someone cook in the small kitchen, please let me know if there is anything inappropriate."
Gu Lin eats vegetarian food regularly. There is a small kitchen in her yard, where someone cooks and sends ingredients in regularly.
"I eat simple, it doesn't matter, you just need to take care of your grandpa and third aunt's children, I will tell you if there is anything wrong, and I won't wrong myself."
Gu Lin rolled his eyes with a smile, his brows were light and gentle, and he completely trusted and relied on Li Yu.
"Do you still go to school to teach?"
"I go every month, and there are probably less than twenty classes. I make notes and preparations in advance, and I only go to teach."
"That's great, tell me what's missing, and I'll prepare it for you."
Li Yu feels more and more that such a mother-in-law suits his appetite. She doesn't care about things and doesn't interfere, and she still has a temper that loves to worry about and take care of things. The two just fit together.
"Okay, I'm just too tired for you, you have to take care of your body, don't just worry about us, you don't have to come early to say hello to me, I don't have time to wait for you because I want to copy the scriptures and recite the scriptures, you just go about your business."
Gu Lin mentioned this matter repeatedly, afraid that she would feel uncomfortable when she came to pay her respects every day.
Li Yu laughed, this mother-in-law is really interesting, the daughter-in-law has to set rules in front of her mother-in-law and serve her, her mother-in-law is afraid that she will come to serve her, and even throws the people and things in her own yard to her, like throwing a burden, it is very happy Someone took care of her.
The third aunt couldn't help laughing, she and Li Yu looked at each other, smiled at each other, and understood each other.
