Chapter 437: Loved at Home
Shen Zhao: [Indeed, the whole family can only stay in that house.
If it was a big house, and several brothers who had married each had a yard, the quarrels would not be confined to trivial matters.
But it would need at least a large house with four courtyards, which the Chen family couldn't afford.
Based on the Chen family's wealth, I estimate that they can only afford a two-story house at most.
This is going to cause a huge quarrel.
As the saying goes, three women perform one drama.
These four men have to marry four wives.
Four sisters-in-law living together means there are a dozen ducks noisy in your ears all day long. 】
Shen Zhao had watched so many videos in his previous life, so naturally he had seen similar clips.
If there are two children in a family, there will be all kinds of conflicts.
Not to mention that people in ancient times attached great importance to blood ties and would have several children, and they would attach even more importance to the meager family property.
The people who had been watching the show on the side nodded frequently.
That's right, their family is in chaos every day.
Gua Gua: [Host, you are absolutely right.
Grandfather Chen's four sons married four wives.
It just so happened that the four sons of the Chen family were sent to school when they were young to see if any of them would be good candidates for the imperial examinations.
As a result, among these four people, only Chen Sizi had some talent.
Grandfather Chen had to use all the family resources to support his imperial examination.
But the other three sons cannot give up either, as they need money to learn martial arts or do business.
It was not until the four of them turned eighteen that they got married.
The entire Chen family lived in a small house.
The quarrels and dissatisfaction were simply suppressed.
From small things like who does the housework at home, to big things like how much money dad will give me to attend a poetry reading today.
It's so lively, there's a show every day. 】
Shen Zhao: [Hahahaha, do things according to your ability.
The Chen family is not a wealthy family, nor is it a powerful family.
The more children you have, the more worries you will have. 】
Gua Gua: [Host, there is more than that.
The four daughters-in-law married by the Chen family are all able to give birth.
Because before Old Master Chen and his wife passed away, they held Grandfather Chen's hand and gave him earnest instructions.
They can only leave with peace of mind if their descendants prosper.
Therefore, when Liu Erhuan chose his daughter-in-law, he also followed the same standards that his mother-in-law used to choose her.
Now, after many years, the four daughters-in-law of the Chen family have given birth to a total of twelve grandchildren for the Chen family. 】
Shen Zhao opened his mouth exaggeratedly.
[No way, you have so many children when you have no money.
Can this house really accommodate so many people? 】
No one present agreed with Shen Zhao's point of view.
A family can only prosper if there are many people.
Although they may be upset by quarrels at home, they prefer the atmosphere of being surrounded by people.
Besides, if there is nowhere to live, just build a few more thatched houses.
This is what ordinary people think.
Those who have a little money don't care about this at all.
Gua Gua: [Twelve is considered restrained.]
Host, think about it yourself. The Chen family has four daughters-in-law, and they have given birth to three children at most.
It was only because Grandfather Chen felt that his family could not afford to raise more children that he urgently called a halt.
There is enough accommodation for so many people.
It’s just that the living space is not spacious and comfortable.
Also because they had to raise twelve grandchildren, Grandpa Chen and the four sons of the Chen family spent all their monthly allowances on this.
But the Chen family’s resources are allocated to different people.
Grandfather Chen values his eldest son and grandson.
Chen Dalang values his youngest son, who is ranked twelfth.
Chen Erlang was indifferent to each of his sons and favored his youngest daughter, who was ranked eleventh.
Chen Sanlang likes his eldest son, who ranks third.
Chen Silang attached more importance to his only legitimate son and ranked him sixth.
One, three, six, eleven, and twelve, these five people are the ones with higher status in the Chen family.
But Chen Yingchao and Chen Yingzi were ranked seventh or eighth, neither high nor low, and were not particularly favored at home.
Well, I have to plan for myself. 】
