The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

Chapter 667: Taking the initiative to help the husband take a concubine

"Take good care of yourself. Tell Nie Xiaofeng or Cheng Min what you want to eat or drink. Take a rest. I'll come see you tomorrow."

Min Hanniu gave Gu Dashu some instructions and then got up and left.

Gu Dashu looked at Su Chengmin and said, "Laifu... No, Chengmin, are your aunt and cousins ​​at the border? Why haven't I seen them?"

Su Chengmin said expressionlessly, "My uncle is not married."

Gu Dashu: "..."

Could it be that the mighty general didn't get married because he was thinking about his mother?

No wonder he grabbed his hand and asked if his mother had mentioned him.

The earnest look in his eyes was exactly the same as when he first asked Liu Yue'e whether she liked him or not.

Nie Xiaofeng rubbed his head and said, "Could it be that the general is thinking about grandma?"

Otherwise, why would he look at his second uncle as if he were his son?

If my grandfather in the underground knew about this, he would be so angry that he would come back to life.

Su Chengmin said: "My uncle has been fighting in many battles since he was young, so his lifelong event was delayed."

My grandmother sighed whenever she mentioned this.

His uncle was a mighty general, but he was only in his forties, a charming mature man. Every three years when he went to Shengjing to report on his work, there were countless people willing to act as matchmakers for him. Even the emperor had the intention of granting him a marriage.

But my uncle refused them all.

The question is who he will offend if he agrees to something and who he doesn't agree to. For a person of his status, whoever he marries is equivalent to being in the same boat with.

If the other party chooses the wrong side, the Min family will be implicated as well.

For those who hold military power, marriage is an issue that people tend to overthink.

Especially the suspicious emperor.

Therefore, Min Hanniu simply did not marry or take concubines. He devoted himself to the military camp and was loyal only to the emperor.

Otherwise, with Su Chengmin as the traitor's secret guard, Min Handiu would not be implicated at all.

Before this, Su Chengmin firmly believed his uncle's statement that he would not get married, but now he is not so sure.

In the past, my grandmother would always shake her head when matchmakers proposed marriage to girls from noble families. She would either dislike their delicate bodies, or their bound feet, or complain that they spoke in a roundabout way. She looked down on all the girls from noble families in the capital, even the princesses.

Many people said that Madam Min had broad vision. Even a mighty general, even one trusted by the emperor, was born in the countryside after all. How could the girl from a noble family in Shengjing not be worthy of him?

Old Madam Min argued that she liked people with quick temperaments, big feet and efficient work.

Su Chengmin felt that his grandmother was simply acting like a wicked mother-in-law.

Now Su Chengmin realized that he had wronged his grandmother. Her ideal daughter-in-law was Aunt Tong.

"Others who fought in wars didn't stop them from getting married and having children. Is what the mighty general said an excuse?" Nie Xiaofeng didn't believe Su Chengmin's lies.

Nie Xiaofeng even thought that it was just right that the mighty general didn't get married. After all, his grandfather was gone, and he could continue his past relationship. No one stipulated that widows couldn't remarry. He felt that Tong Huaqiong was so capable, and was delayed by his grandfather for so many years. His grandmother was a perfect match for the mighty general.

But he didn't dare say it, for fear that his second uncle would jump up and hit him.

Gu Dashu bared his teeth at Nie Xiaofeng: "Don't talk nonsense, how can a great general be trapped by love? He is a man who can do great things."

You little bastard dared to gossip about your grandmother. You don't want to live anymore, right?

Nie Xiaofeng was still immersed in his own thoughts and said, "I think the general was trapped by his love affair with grandma, so he didn't get married."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent.

"You little bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? You think I can't deal with you just because you become the deputy general, right?" Gu Dashu reached out to grab Nie Xiaofeng.

Facing his second uncle's fiery eyes, Nie Xiaofeng couldn't help but move a little further away from Gu Dashu.

"Well, Uncle, the medicine just now was too bitter. I'll get you some candied fruit to clear your mouth."

Nie Xiaofeng ran as fast as a rabbit.

"Ouch."

After Min Hanniu and Nie Xiaofeng both left, Gu Dashu rolled over in joy at the thought of going to Beijing to meet the emperor, and then pressed his ribs, causing him to see stars in pain.

"You better be careful," said Shopkeeper He. "You just woke up. Don't get too excited and break two more ribs."

Gu Dashu was lying on his back, unable to suppress his excitement, and said to Shopkeeper He: "Old He, we are about to meet the emperor, aren't you excited?"

Shopkeeper He said, "I just want to go home."

It would be a lie to say that he was not excited about going to Shengjing to meet the emperor and receive the reward, but Manager He was more concerned about the Hong family who stayed in Qinghe Bay.

Although he knew that with the boss Tong Huaqiong around, the Hong family would never suffer any injustice, he was still worried.

As for Hong, she recently discovered in Qinghe Bay that everyone looked at her with excessive pity.

Mrs. Hong has always been kind and straightforward, never putting on airs, and enjoys a good reputation among the aunts and young wives in Qinghewan.

"Sister-in-law Qin, why didn't everyone grumble when they saw me coming? Did I offend them in some way?"

On the way to the weaving workshop, Hong saw a group of women gossiping. When they saw her approaching, they all kept silent and some even ran away.

Hong pulled Aunt Qin aside and asked her the reason.

Aunt Qin hesitated to speak, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Manager He has done a great job, do you have any ideas?"

Mrs. Hong felt confused. What could she think?

Seeing that Hong didn't think about the gossip at all, Aunt Qin sighed and said, "Manager He has been away from home for two years. He is going to Shengjing to receive rewards for his meritorious service. Maybe he can get an official position. It is said that men with power and money will become Chen Shimei, and many of them have three wives and four concubines. Of course, I am not saying that Manager He will change his heart. I just want you to have a plan in mind and be prepared."

"Don't let him start to have some shady ideas and catch you off guard. For us women, what's the most important thing to a man? Children. Let me tell you something that may annoy you. You and Shopkeeper He don't have children. You didn't think it was a big deal before, but what man wouldn't want his own children to inherit the huge fortune after being given an official title? Otherwise, it wouldn't be a bargain for outsiders. Men can still have children even when they are old, so I sincerely advise you to plan early."

Even though Mrs. Hong knew that Aunt Qin was sincere in her words, she was still annoyed.

Hong didn't show it on her face, and asked calmly, "What should I do? Sister Qin, please teach me."

Aunt Qin clapped her hands and said, "This is easy. You can give him a concubine in advance. This will not only show your virtue, but also block his idea of ​​taking another concubine. You can hold this concubine in your hands and she can't do anything. When she gives birth to a child, you can bring her to you to raise and it will be like marrying her."

Aunt Qin really thinks this method is good.

Since a man with power and money wants to take concubines, it is better for him to take the first step.

Instead of waiting for a man to take a concubine and making you angry that you are not on the same page with him, it is better to help him take one first.

If you do this for the sake of your offspring, the man will be grateful to you.

"Dear sister-in-law, your idea is very good. Keep it for yourself or your daughter-in-law."

Hong left with a sullen face, which made Aunt Qin stamp her feet.

Hong walked towards the weaving workshop angrily. The fact that she and He Chao had no children had always been a worry for her. Only after Tong Huaqiong's guidance did she gradually stop thinking about children.

Now Aunt Qin has brought up her worries again, no wonder she turned hostile.

"What's wrong with you?" Tong Huaqiong asked.

Hong told Tong Huaqiong what Aunt Qin said.

Tong Huaqiong frowned. Aunt Qin was a warm-hearted person, and sometimes seemed to have no sense of boundaries. But she must have been instigated by someone to suggest that Hong take a concubine and give birth to a child for He Chao.

Otherwise, why would Aunt Qin have said it at this time instead of earlier or later?
