After watching Tang Weiwei and her daughter leave in embarrassment, Shen Xiaobei praised Shen Mingzhu and said, "You performed well just now! However, in the future, if you can avoid fighting, don't fight with others. If we meet a powerful one, we will suffer."

"Tsk, I'm not afraid! Even if there were ten of those useless women, I could beat them all!"

"Using force to solve problems is not the best strategy! Well, forget it. You helped me teach that woman a lesson today. You were brave enough to help me. I should reward you."

"Ah, there's a reward? What are you going to reward me with?"

When Shen Xiaobei said there was a reward, Shen Mingzhu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"So what do you want me to reward you with?"

"Can you reward me with whatever I want you to reward me with?"

"I can't make any promises about that. Tell me what you think first. As long as it's not too extreme, it's fine."

"Hey, that's not too much! It's just... I want to buy something today, can you pay for it later? I don't want to spend the 15 yuan you lent me today."

Shen Mingzhu is really a smart person, and he doesn't help others for nothing.

Shen Xiaobei smiled and didn't mind. She was the original owner's sister. He was not afraid of her being smart, but only afraid that she was stupid. It would be a headache if he couldn't take care of her in the future!

And it just so happened that she could take the opportunity to negotiate a deal with her.

"Okay, I can pay you for anything under 15 dollars later. And you don't have to pay me back the 15 dollars you lent me earlier."

"Ah, are you serious? I don't have to pay back the 15 dollars?"

"Of course it's true, but I have a condition."

"Tsk, always asking for conditions! What conditions? Just tell me first!"

"Don't worry, this condition is not meant to trick you."

"Isn't the autumn harvest over? You should be resting up pretty much by now. But the production team's spring planting isn't about to start, and you've been sitting around with nothing to do anyway. So, I think you could learn sewing from me during this time."

"Learn sewing? Why should I learn that? I don't want to learn! I'm exhausted after a few months, can't I just take a break? You see people are idle and you want to make them do something. How can you be so jealous of others? I hate you so much! I don't want to learn!"

Shen Mingzhu was a poor student when she was in school and never took anything seriously.

When she came to the countryside to work in Baiju Brigade, if Shen Xiaobei hadn't been there to supervise her, she might still be a farm scum, unable to do any farm work.

Even if I could do some, I wouldn't be as skilled as I am now.

She had barely managed to adapt to the life of a farmer, and Shen Xiaobei asked her to learn something else so quickly. Shen Mingzhu was naturally unwilling.

"You don't want to learn? Shen Mingzhu, do you plan to be a farmer your whole life? Don't you plan to return to the city in the future?"

"If you return to the city in the future, with no education or skills, how can you find a good job? Will you become a parasite again, or go back to the countryside to continue working as a farmer?"

"You, how do you know I won't be able to find a good job when I return to the city? Why do you look down on me so much?"

"It's not that I look down on you, it's that you don't have the ability to make me look up to you! Tell me, what else can you do? You can't say it, right? If you can't even say it yourself, who will give you a good job in the future?"

"I'm telling you, Shen Mingzhu, if you didn't have the same father as me, I wouldn't even bother teaching you! If I have the time, wouldn't it be better to get some extra sleep?"

"You're about to turn eighteen. You're an adult now. You need to learn how to plan for your future. Don't just focus on getting enough to eat today and not worry about whether you'll have nothing to eat tomorrow."

"Anyway, I've said this, so think about it carefully. Once you've made up your mind, pick out the 15-dollar items and I'll pay. And you can keep the remaining 15 yuan as a reward for your ambition."

"However, if you really don't want to learn, I won't force you. But you must pay me back the 15 yuan before the end of this year. Think about it, how are you going to pay it back then? Are you going to borrow money from your mother? Haha..."

Helping others plan for the future is like threatening them, and Shen Xiaobei is also convinced by himself.

However, Shen Mingzhu is the original owner's sister, and she helped her teach Tang Weiwei a lesson today. This shows that between her and outsiders, this sister still sides with the original owner in her heart.

It is still worth helping her make plans for such a disciplined family member. After all, it only takes a little of her time every day.

She already had the sewing machine and fabric, and they didn't cost much.

Seeing Shen Xiaobei mocking her and looking down on her like this, Shen Mingzhu was really unhappy.

However, she was not stupid. She knew that if it were an outsider, who would be willing to teach her a skill for free?

But when she thought about it, she realized that learning any skill would require hard work, just like during the past few months in the countryside, she saw Ke Xiaoli being the first one to get up every morning to make tofu.

If it were her, she felt that she would never be able to do what Ke Xiaoli did.

So although she usually envied Ke Xiaoli for being able to earn some money every day and spend it more freely than her, she had never thought about learning a skill like her to make some money.

But now, after listening to Shen Xiaobei's words that hit and ridiculed her, she wondered if everyone looked down on her in their hearts? Or if her family would look down on her in the future?

Shen Mingzhu suddenly made up her mind.

Isn’t it just learning sewing? It will make her tired to death. Just learn it!

"Shen Xiaobei, don't look down on me! Since I've come to the countryside, I naturally won't ask my mother for money in the future! Isn't it just learning to make clothes? I'll learn it. I don't believe that such a simple job can stump me, Shen Mingzhu!"
