Chapter 161 1 Aunt who loves her nephew 11
The moment Shen Yue'er received the valuable bracelet, and realized that it was Luo Chen who gave it to her specially after he found out about it, she felt a lot more at ease and nodded to agree to Bai Yunxuan.
Bai Yunxuan was so happy that he almost succeeded, but it was the sage books he had read over the years that helped him regain his sanity.
Bai Yunxuan hurried back and asked Luo Chen to come and propose marriage.
Luo Chen did not waste any time and immediately asked someone to propose marriage. Master Shen liked Bai Yunxuan very much, and Madam Shen personally found an opportunity to go to Jinxiu Buzhuang. When Luo Chen knew about it, he came out to meet him in person, and the two had a very happy chat.
Mrs. Shen was relieved to see that Luo Chen was kind. She had long heard that Luo Chen was the sole controller of the family, and she was afraid that she would be a mother-in-law who had the final say, and her daughter would suffer in the future.
Now I feel relieved. Luo Chen is not an unreasonable person.
It took half a year from engagement to marriage, and my son finally had a wife.
Seeing this couple coming together to offer tea to her and Lao Bai, Luo Chen smiled with satisfaction. This feeling was really complicated, because this was the child she had brought up herself.
In the past world, her son had many people to take care of his children because of his noble status, but this world was indeed brought up by her alone.
After giving Shen Yue'er a gift, they sat down to eat. A new bride has to serve her parents-in-law when she enters the house. Luo Chen and Lao Bai are both from the country and don't care about this. Luo Chen is fine, but Lao Bai feels very uncomfortable because he is a country man and his own wife has rarely picked up food for him, let alone his son's daughter-in-law.
Seeing the reactions of her parents-in-law, Shen Yue'er felt a little flustered, thinking that she had done something wrong. Luo Chen also noticed it, so he just asked Shen Yue'er to sit down and eat, just as a formality.
Now that his son has started a family and a career, Luo Chen feels that he should not support him anymore. However, he has been studying for so many years and will have to continue studying in the future. If he suddenly lets go, how will the young couple survive? Shen Yue'er's family is only home to her father's salary, so the dowry is not much.
Luo Chen bought two farms and two shops, and gave 12,000 taels of silver to the two men, asking them to start learning how to run their own family. Once the children had their own families, they could split up the family.
After all, in today's society, people live by the eldest son, and Luo Chen cannot separate the eldest son from his parents, otherwise people will gossip.
Luo Chen didn't care about the lives of the young couple. Now she was busy with her second son and eldest daughter. Her son had to prepare for the imperial examination, and her eldest daughter was fifteen years old and it was time for her to find someone to marry her off.
Luo Chen started to look for a partner and work hard again. She missed the modern society so much, where one could find a partner by themselves and did not have to get married. Here, one was considered an old maid after the age of 18.
After all, boys are different from girls, so Luo Chen was looking for one with her eyes wide open, making all kinds of nitpicking requests, which left the matchmaker speechless. She even questioned her whether she really wanted to marry her daughter off.
Finally, when Yun Wan was eighteen years old, Luo Chen found her ideal son-in-law, the youngest son of the county magistrate, a poet who was fascinated by mountains and rivers, and he and Yun Wan complemented each other.
He was determined to find a close female friend with whom he could travel around the country and compose poetry.
Yun Wan was trained by Luo Chen to be both civil and military. Although her martial arts skills are not as good as Yun Yu's, she has few rivals.
Once when they were out on a picnic, she saved a young man and fell in love with him at first sight. After they chatted about a few lines of poetry, the young man decided to marry Yun Wan. Not only could she go out with him to play, but she could also protect him. This was simply the perfect match for him.
On Yun Wan's wedding day, Luo Chen prepared sixty-four dowries for her, along with ten thousand taels of silver as a safe deposit. She treated each of her children equally.
Including the betrothal gift given by the county magistrate's family, Yun Wan's dowry was unique in the prefecture, and many people envied her. It was more than the dowries of many eldest daughters of wealthy families. This family also had two scholars, and it was said that the eldest son was about to take the imperial examination.
After getting married, the young couple went out to have fun and no one cared about them.
Bai Yunxuan failed the first time he took the exam, and studied hard for another three years. This time he took the exam with Bai Yunye, and finally passed, but was the last one. Luo Chen knew that his eldest son's qualifications were limited, and fortunately, Juren could become an official, so he let him go and be an official.
Bai Yunye was smart and passed the imperial examination smoothly. He was selected as the son-in-law of the Grand Tutor. With his father-in-law protecting him, Luo Chen was not worried about him.
Since she has gained some benefits, she should pay some price. Anyway, she doesn't live with them. She just needs a virtuous daughter-in-law. Shen Yueer listens to whatever she says and never causes any trouble for her, which makes her very satisfied.
Watching her children get married and start their own families, Luo Chen was left with only a pair of young children. As long as she could take care of these two, she would have completed her mission. However, the two were young and had learned a lot of advanced ideas from Luo Chen. They had their own plans, so Luo Chen didn't care and just let them do what they wanted, which saved her from worry.
Old Bai felt a little unbalanced when he saw that Luo Chen took care of all his children. Instigated by someone with ulterior motives, he drank some wine and went home to show off his power, wanting to marry Bai Yunyu to the son of his so-called best friend.
An uneducated gangster said that he had already agreed and Bai Yunyu must marry him, and he also took back the so-called token of love.
"I have already promised Old Tang that he has only one son, and the family business will belong to him in the future. Erya will not suffer if she marries him. As long as she is filial to her parents-in-law and serves her husband well, she will live a good life in the future."
"Who gave you the illusion that you could call the shots in this family?"
Luo Chen looked at him coldly. Lao Bai felt scared, but the alcohol made him brave. He stiffened his neck and said nothing. Bai Yunyu looked at her mother in panic.
"I, I'm her father, I can't make the decision for her, if I say marry her, she will marry."
Luo Chen sneered, "Really? I built this family business all by myself over the years. What use are you to me? If you want to make the decision, you can. Return the fifty thousand taels of silver I spent on Yu'er, and then you can make the decision."
Lao Bai's eyes widened. For so many years, apart from the two taels of silver that Luo Chen gave him every month, he had never seen any other money. He had no idea how much money this family had in total. He didn't expect to spend so much money on a little girl. He suddenly felt a little distressed.
"You are my wife now. What's yours and what's mine? You are mine too. You used to have the final say in this family, but now it's my turn. You'd better behave yourself, or I'll divorce you."
Luo Chen laughed out loud: "Okay, I've been waiting for you to say this. Do you think I'm willing to keep a useless thing like you? Now put your fingerprint on the divorce letter, and you can be the master of the house immediately."
Luo Chen didn't know where he got a divorce letter from and handed it to Lao Bai. Lao Bai was drunk and angry, so he immediately pressed his fingerprints on it.
Luo Chen immediately had someone take it to the government, and the relationship between the two was completely dissolved. This series of actions stunned Bai Yunyu and Bai Yunshuo. Before they could react, their parents had parted ways.
