1970s: After Transmigrating, the Fake Heiress Returns to the Village to Grow Sweet Potatoes

Lin Yu awakens with memories of her past life and discovers she is a cannon fodder supporting character in a modern-era novel. The female lead is the real heiress, and Lin Yu is merely a fake heire...

Chapter 213 Mother Ou talks about being a housewife and is moved.

After seeing Mr. Ou off, Mrs. Ou shook her head: "Your father is really too worried."

The old man is over fifty years old, and he still worries so much every day. Mother Ou is worried that he will collapse one day.

Lin Yu thought that Mr. Ou was in very good spirits and did not look like someone who was about to retire.

Everyone has different spiritual pursuits. Some people like to rest, while others are full of energy and can't stay idle.

In Lin Yu's view, Mr. Ou was a man with ideals and ambitions.

Born during a time of war, his greatest concern was the life and death of the nation.

Right now, his biggest concern is people's livelihood.

We hope that people can live better lives.

That's why he was so excited and thrilled to hear Lin Yu's suggestion.

He wanted to find a way to lift people out of poverty and into prosperity, so they wouldn't have to tighten their belts and go hungry anymore.

In fact, the people of Guangcheng are already living much better than those in the inland areas. From ancient times to the present, this area has been an important region for economic development.

Many policies also favor this area.

But these are special times. The economy is underdeveloped, and people often lack food and clothing.

The famine years have only been over for a little over a decade, and the past events are still vivid in my mind.

Ou's father's sense of crisis made him always want to find a way to develop the economy and increase the income of ordinary people.

Lin Yu believes that people like Mr. Ou are the ones who can truly contribute to society.

Everything he did and thought was for the benefit of the people; he had a strong sense of righteousness in his heart, which is why he was so inspired.

When Mrs. Ou heard Lin Yu say this, she agreed in her heart; her husband was naturally a righteous person.

But as his family, we are more concerned about his health.

Mrs. Ou retired early, partly to take care of her daughter and granddaughter, and partly to take care of Mr. Ou's health.

Lin Yu pulled her along and said, "That's why they say behind every successful man is a successful woman. This family still needs you, Auntie, to support it."

Ou Manqing thought to himself, "This sycophant."

However, she also agreed with Lin Yu's statement. Although her father held the highest position on the outside, her mother actually made the greatest sacrifices.

Without my mother, would my father have had such a stable and comfortable environment to strive for his goals?

Without her mother's care, Ou Manqing felt that she would have lost half her life during her pregnancy and childbirth.

Therefore, she also said, "My father and I are actually all thanks to my mother to get where we are today."

Upon hearing this, Mother Ou's eyes welled up with tears. All those years of sacrifice, it turned out, her child could see it all.

She knew that people generally believed it was a woman's duty to be a wife and mother.

But in this world, what is there to say about right or wrong?

In a family, there must be a division of labor. If her husband has ambitions and lofty ideals, he will inevitably neglect his family and children.

Then it's up to her to make up for it and give the child a happy and stable family.

She also needs to take care of her husband's logistical needs so that he can focus on his career without any worries.

Therefore, what she did was actually very important, and no one was more noble than anyone else.

Mrs. Ou was also very fortunate that her children and husband knew how to appreciate her efforts and did not take them for granted.

Lin Yu also felt this deeply: "Many people think that it is easy for women to be housewives at home. I suggest that they all try it, but I don't think I can do it."

“Actually, I think a woman who can be a housewife is strong. She has to arrange all the household chores by herself, without getting a salary, and sometimes she is looked down upon by others.”

Mother Ou laughed at her for having so many insights at such a young age: "But you're right, you young people still need to work hard. I also shone brightly in my job when I was young."

She used to work very hard, but she also had to take care of her family, so she was extremely busy every day.

But at that time I felt that my life was very fulfilling.

Only when you can make a living with your own hands can you have a true sense of security.

Therefore, she always encourages her children to go to work and earn money with their own hands, so that they can have confidence and gain the respect of others.

As for being a stay-at-home mom, it depends on the situation. If there is really no other way, then you have to make sure that your husband and children can see your efforts.

Instead of taking it for granted.

They also need to control the economy and not be subject to others.

In their family, for example, both her pension and Lao Ou's salary are in her own hands.

She can spend money however she wants, and she only has one daughter and one granddaughter in her family.

Actually, their family's expenses are not high.

So, Mrs. Ou actually had a lot of money saved up, which was her source of confidence.

With a solid financial foundation, one can better focus on taking care of their family.

More importantly, take good care of yourself and don't exhaust yourself.

Therefore, Mrs. Ou never wallowed in self-pity; no matter what happened, she remained optimistic.

Even when her daughter told her that she wanted to get married in the countryside, she did not object strongly.

Her mindset is always inclusive, like water, gently enveloping others.

Now that her daughter is living a simple and happy life, Ms. Ou feels that this is the best.

She didn't care what others thought of them; only the person drinking the water knew whether it was hot or cold.

This mindset influenced Lin Yu, who sometimes had a black-and-white view of things, but Mother Ou was more tolerant and let things take their natural course.

When it was time to work, she worked diligently; when her daughter and husband needed her care, she resolutely left her post.

Isn't that also a form of courage?

That evening, when Mr. Ou returned home, he told Lin Yu, "I've contacted the railway company. We can discuss this. You can focus on finding a source of goods."

Lin Yu gave a thumbs up: "Uncle is really amazing. He can solve big problems as soon as he takes action."

Mr. Ou laughed heartily: "No, no, I'm just doing what I can."

She's modest on the surface, but she's actually very pleased with herself.

Ou Manqing also said, "My father is very capable. In the future, when ordinary people make money, it will all depend on your support."

Mr. Ou said with a smile, "As long as everyone can live a good life, I'll be at ease."

Seeing her father being entertained by the two girls, her mother smiled. Having children at home definitely makes things more lively.

Although they are both adults, girls are more considerate than boys.

The things they say are always very pleasant to hear.

Mr. Ou thought so too; otherwise, why would he like girls so much? They're so sensible and considerate.

Many people felt sorry for him because they only had one daughter, Ou Manqing, but he didn't feel that way at all.

He thought those people were all fools, having sons and sons, even abandoning their daughters for the sake of having sons.

That's utterly nonsensical.

His daughter alone is worth more than several sons of other people.

Now Lin Yu has come along, and he treats her like a goddaughter, so it's like he has two daughters now.

I actually felt quite happy about it.

Lin Yu, upon learning that the railway could be opened up, was eager to find sources of goods.

Mr. and Mrs. Ou were from the countryside and came to the city later to work.

The land where they live now was bought by Ou Manqing's grandfather when he was young, and later given to them to help them settle down in the city.
