The Liu Family was a merchant family, so their relationship with the Gu family was close. Therefore, they were scrutinized even more severely and only had 10% of the family property left compared to their peak.
However, their house, two manors, and a shop still existed. It was not a problem to maintain the family’s livelihood.
After chatting for a while, Aunt Liu said hesitantly, “I heard that Lord Gu is promoting greenhouse vegetables now. I wonder if we ordinary merchants can grow them?”
“Of course. If you want to plant some, send a child who can endure hardship and let him help and learn in our manor.
“He can also explore and learn while helping out.
“Otherwise, you might not be able to grow these vegetables just by hearing instructions.”
“That’s great! May I know where the manor is?”
“Get someone to come over early in the morning the day after tomorrow, and Chengrui will bring him over.”
“Alright, sorry for troubling you. We’ll take our leave now.”
“If you’re free, drop by anytime.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she sent them out.
At the same time, she gave them a piece of pork and a piece of beef.
After they left, Zhou Ying took a look at the things they had prepared. The Yao Family gave a set of gold jewelry and two batches of good fabric.
The Liu Family gave a pair of jade pendants, one purple and one blue, and two sets of bedding with good embroidery.
Gu Wanning walked over and looked at the things on the ground. “Cousin-in-law, didn’t you say that Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Liu didn’t treat you well before? Why did you accept their families’ gifts?”
“In this world, there are only two kinds of relationships between people. One is a blood-related relationship, and the other is a relationship of mutual benefit.
“However, your blood-related relationship is shallow, so you don’t have many relatives that you can use.
“Therefore, you have to rely on benefits to make some connections.
“You have to remember that no matter what kind of relationship it is, it has to be respectful and mutually beneficial.
“Don’t blindly take, and don’t blindly give. Otherwise, the relationship won’t last long.
“Now that the two families have extended an olive branch, we’ll accept it. As for whether we can continue to get along in the future, it depends on our cooperation.
“Just remember to keep some things to yourself and not tell others everything.”
Gu Wanning nodded thoughtfully and asked, “What is the relationship between husband and wife?”
“Husband and wife? A couple’s relationship is the most complicated of all relationships. When you can trust each other, respect each other, understand each other, and like each other, then you will be closest to each other.
“But if you don’t even have the basic trust between the two of you, your husband is actually the furthest and most dangerous person to you.
“To put it bluntly,
“The relationship between your parents is actually more or less the latter. Yang Shicheng knows your mother quite well but doesn’t love her. This is also the reason why your mother was killed.
“Trust, respect, understand, and love.
“It’s easier said than done.”
“But it’s not difficult. As long as you two have no distracting thoughts, work hard together, and use your strength together, it’s still possible.
“The only thing you must be afraid of is being hot-headed.
“Therefore, women would rather marry someone who’s not rich but loves and treasures them for the rest of their lives.
“It’s way better than wanting to marry someone wealthy but ending up as withered grass after giving up everything.
“Of course, that’s excluding those who love each other truly.”
Yang Wanning looked at her in astonishment and said, “Although these words are somewhat rebellious, they make sense.”
“So remember them clearly. Don’t let yourself get hurt.”
“Can you tell if King Rui likes me?”
“I can only remind you that whoever gets serious first will lose,” Zhou Ying said after seeing her nervousness. “In other words, whoever falls in love with the other first will lose..”
