Chapter 285: Hard Effort
Now in the Wang Family, they could speak with absolute authority, while he, Eldest Brother, and Fourth Brother had all stepped back considerably.
But initially, it was he who had personally promised to let his eldest daughter take charge of the household. Today, the Wang Family’s fortunes were indeed on the rise, and Wang Laozhu couldn’t deny in good conscience that her management had been anything other than excellent.
Wang Laozhu’s concerns were about the years, maybe even decades to come.
Old Granny Zhang had already declared that she wanted her eldest daughter to adopt the practice of taking in a son-in-law at home. He had previously thought that his eldest daughter was unlikely to marry off and considering her good judgment, taking a son-in-law into the household might also support the Wang Family.
Now it appears that his eldest daughter’s judgment was too strong. As long as she was there, the land they have now was bought by her, and the silver and connections for doing business were all in her hands.
With her temperament, Eldest Brother and Fourth Brother wouldn’t be able to make any waves under her control.
Wang Laozhu had originally thought that as long as he could keep the Wang Family afloat, that would suffice. He hadn’t thought much further. Only now did he realize that if the Wang Family were to rise, it would be on the back of a woman.
Moreover, with his daughter managing the household in such a manner, Eldest Brother and Fourth Brother could only listen to her. What’s more, what about Jindou and Jinhoo?
Besides, if the daughter were to take in a son-in-law and be in charge, and her future children bear the Wang surname, if she were to raise her own children well, wouldn’t her branch eventually overshadow her brothers’ main branch?
When the main branch is weak, and a side branch is strong, it isn’t good for any family. He couldn’t allow such a thing to happen.
Yet, his painstaking concerns went unnoticed by everyone in the family.
