Chapter 1053: Choosing her is easy to control
The eldest wife sneered immediately:
"You're in charge? Jinse, it's not that sister-in-law has other thoughts, but look at this, which family would let their married daughter be the manager?"
"A married daughter is closer to you than a daughter-in-law from another family, right?" Zhuang Jinse looked away coldly.
Well, the fight between these two sisters-in-law has officially started.
"Jinse is wrong. I am Wuwei's mother now, and he is the eldest grandson of the Zhuang family. The Zhuang family needs our Wuwei to continue the family line. Your son, huh!" The eldest wife said coldly with the domineering attitude of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhuang family.
You gave birth to a fake foreigner, and you still have the nerve to come out and make a fuss?
Zhuang Jinse retorted coldly:
"Whether the family line can be continued is still unknown. Sister-in-law, do you think the Zhuang family is a harem in feudal society? You still want to rely on your son to gain status as a mother."
The eldest wife was born into a noble family. Her ancestors were prominent and had served as high-ranking officials during the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. However, the descendants in modern times have been worse than the previous generation. Apart from the glory left by their ancestors, the eldest wife's family is a typical example of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
The reputation is indeed good. He is a descendant of a famous family, and his family has switched to business. No matter how bad it is, it can't be that bad.
In that era, the eldest wife was a famous socialite. What was that like forty years ago?
The new era is only a few decades old?
At that time, the eldest wife's family relied on a business and was prosperous for a period of time. Of course, they could not compare with the bankers in business, but they were also famous in the capital.
But each year was worse than the last, especially with the changes in the new society. If you don’t seize the opportunity, you will never be able to turn things around. You will eat up all the food and then fall into the trap, so that the next generation will almost become parasites.
After hearing what Zhuang Jinse said, the first wife sneered in her heart. How could she lecture a married daughter?
"It's true that a mother's status doesn't come from having a son, but the one with a boy is the rich man. A girl will be thrown away sooner or later. Just like my sister-in-law now, I give a little money to my parents' family, but my husband's family talks about me. Now that I have a girl, what else can I expect?"
The eldest wife's words were a perfect counter-attack. She not only implied that Zhuang Jinse was meddling in other people's affairs, but also gave the third wife a stab at her. She felt really happy in her heart.
Zhuang Jinse looked directly at Mr. Zhuang Sanye and his wife and smiled:
"Oh, Third Brother can sit still tonight. My daughter is like spilled water. What do you think, Third Brother?"
"The blood flowing in my daughter's body is not my blood? What's less than a son?" Zhuang Zhoucheng asked in a deep voice, and when he raised his eyes, he glanced sharply at the first wife.
The eldest wife did not answer, knowing that Zhuang Jinse was deliberately directing her criticism towards the third son. It was up to the third son whether to respond or not.
But this response undoubtedly showed that Mr. Zhuang San was biased towards Zhuang Jinse, so it seemed that there would be some changes in the housekeeper's affairs tonight.
Madam Xiang looked at the old man, whose face looked gloomy.
Which old person doesn’t want to see a loving father and filial son with many grandchildren?
But the hidden danger of having many children and grandchildren is that after each of them has his own family, they begin to exclude their brothers and sisters. The eldest, the second and the third are brothers of the same bloodline, but what is the relationship between the families they form?
This is the fundamental point, and the contradiction cannot be eliminated.
Seeing that the old man had no intention of speaking, Madam Xiang spoke out:
"Since the eldest wife's housekeeper, Jinse, is dissatisfied, and the eldest wife has objections to Jinse's housekeeping, why not let Huo Yan take charge? The Third Master is the Zhuang family's family, and it's only natural that the Third Madam should be the housekeeper. Moreover, the Third Master has paid a large portion of the Zhuang family's living expenses, including food, clothing, and other expenses. Huo Yan will be in charge of this household. If there is a little surplus each month, we will still not interfere. After all, it is the Third Master's money. As for the excess, as before, you cannot pay it yourself. At the end of the month, hand in the account book for the female members of the family to review one by one, and finally let the Third Master and the old man review it. What do you think?"
"Okay, if the third brother likes the housekeeper, I certainly agree."
This was the first time in her life that Zhuang Jinse responded so enthusiastically to Madam Xiang's words.
Butler Huo Yan?
Just that soft, weak persimmon?
Then the meatballs can be flattened by anyone?
Butler Huo Yan, to put it bluntly, means there is no one to be the butler anymore, and anyone can be the boss now.
Madam Xiang looked at Zhuang Jinse and sneered in her heart. So Zhuang Jinse was smarter than the eldest lady. If no one reminded the eldest lady about this matter, how many days would it take her to figure it out?
The eldest wife looked at Zhuang Jinse, then at Huo Yan, and nodded slowly after a long time.
The third daughter-in-law is much easier to control than Zhuang Jinse. "Okay, then Huo Yan will be the housekeeper."
"Mr. Zhuang San, what do you think?" Zhuang Jinse asked with a smile.
Zhuang Zhoucheng smiled. He didn't care. He was willing to wait for the outcome of the discussion.
Turning to look at Huo Yan, he asked in a low voice:
"Butler, can I? Baby?"
"Okay."
Huo Yan's expression remained calm as he looked at everyone present calmly. Finally, he made eye contact with the eldest wife and then with Zhuang Jinse. His indifferent look was unpredictable.
"Have you thought it through?" Zhuang Zhoucheng asked Huo Yan.
"Do you need to think about it?"
Huo Yan was puzzled and looked at Zhuang Zhoucheng.
Zhuang Zhoucheng laughed out loud, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Turning to the people in the hall, he raised his voice a little and became more serious.
"Then the management of the Zhuang family will be handed over to the Third Wife from now on. We have all seen the contributions that the eldest sister-in-law has made to the Zhuang family over the years. Now that Huo Yan can handle some things, it is not appropriate to let the eldest sister-in-law worry about the management of the family anymore."
The eldest wife's face was a little gloomy. She devoted herself to the family and made great contributions. Was this a mockery of her for not doing anything for the family in the past few decades?
Zhuang Zhoucheng no longer cared about the eldest wife's expression and turned to the old man and asked again.
"Dad, what do you think? If you agree, it will be the end of the month, and Huo Yan will be able to take up his post starting next month." Zhuang Zhoucheng chuckled softly, his voice slow.
Huo Yan took it calmly, and Zhuang Zhoucheng also looked relaxed. In fact, neither of them particularly wanted this right. In fact, it was not a simple matter.
If you take over and manage the family, everyone in the family will hate you because it affects everyone's welfare and whether it will remain the same as before.
The old man nodded, "That's it."
Zhuang Zhoucheng smiled and nodded, "Yes," he turned and looked at the eldest wife again, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, please teach our Huo Yan more. She knows nothing and has never managed anything, so I hope you can take her in for a while."
"Okay." Sister-in-law responded.
Perhaps after thinking about it carefully, she realized that Butler Huo Yan was indeed much more advantageous than Zhuang Jinse. Since the third brother had spoken, she might as well agree.
The eldest wife firmly believed that Huo Yan was not capable of managing the family.
Because the banker needs to pay attention to much more than outsiders think. Huo Yan just took over, how could he not come to her?
Zhuang Zhou said again:
"Then let's send the old account books to the new building in the next few days. It would be a good opportunity for her to familiarize herself with them and learn from them first."
