When she learned that she had cancer that year, Meng Shulan filed for divorce from Han Ning.
Han Ning knelt in front of her hospital bed with tears streaming down his face, saying he wouldn...
Chapter 50 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law
When Meng Shulan first proposed to start a business, Meng Changli stood up to support her without even thinking about it.
There is nothing we can't do as long as we can make money.
But after calming down, I felt that if I got involved in this matter, it might not be so smooth.
She is a thick-skinned person, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know how to think things over.
At present, there is no formal system in place. Not to mention whether her husband will support her, her mother-in-law probably won’t agree.
She is a person with old-fashioned and rigid ideas. She often talks about cutting off the tail of XXism and Huang Shiren. It is impossible for her to be allowed to do business when the policy is unclear.
But her sister said that the policy would be implemented soon, and the whole family was very excited, so Meng Changli didn't want to spoil the fun and didn't mention it.
At that time, she thought it was just an idea and whether it would succeed was still unknown, so she would wait and see the situation.
Later, the two sisters went into the city.
Meng Changli saw the prosperity of the city, shook hands with Song Huailing, and chatted with the owner of the noodle stall. Her thoughts also changed accordingly.
Originally she just wanted to help her mother's family and her sister, but now she also wanted to grit her teeth and get involved.
Apart from anything else, having money in your hands and not asking your mother-in-law or husband for money is better than anything else.
Huang Jialin is the only son in the family. As long as his parents-in-law are still alive, Meng Changli will not be able to manage the household.
In the past few years, the family's harvest and her husband's salary have been managed by her mother-in-law. Even if Meng Changli wants to buy a string of candied haws for her daughter, she has to ask her family for money. Anyone who has experienced this knows what it feels like.
Meng Changli wanted to make money but couldn't tell her family, so when she went back to her parents' home this week, she made an excuse, saying that her mother wanted to open a tailor shop to make clothes for people, and she bought a sewing machine but didn't know how to use it, so she went to teach her.
Meng Changli knows how to operate a sewing machine. She learned it in the commune with the help of her family connections.
When she told this matter, Zhuang Bailu subconsciously felt that He Jinqiu wanted to be like her sister He Saijun and do some small business by relying on the supply and marketing cooperative.
Nowadays, tailor shops can be regarded as a part of people's livelihood. They make money with their own hands and do not involve reselling. They are affiliated with work units, and part of the money earned is handed over to the workers and part is kept for themselves. This is currently in compliance with regulations.
But Zhuang Bailu also looked down on him. He was like Jose-jun, who not only stinked of money but also had to show up in public, which was embarrassing.
At that time, Zhuang Bailu asked Meng Changli to go back to her parents' home to persuade her not to do such shameful things for a few dollars. If she really wanted to make money, she had to get a proper job.
But Meng Changli refused to listen, saying that the family had already made the decision and her brother agreed, and it was her brother who helped buy the sewing machine.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Jialin, Zhuang Bailu gave up and told Meng Changli not to go to the street to help, so as to avoid being seen by Jialin's colleagues and friends, which would be embarrassing.
In the final analysis, it's just that they think it's shameful to do business themselves.
Meng Changli was a person who cared a lot about her mother's family. She had a few words with Zhuang Bailu on the spot, then she packed up her things and went back to her mother's home with her two children.
So while working at her mother's house this week, Meng Changli was feeling angry in her heart. She wanted to do business better and make enough money to buy food and clothes, making those old-fashioned people envious.
But just as her plan was beginning to be implemented, her mother-in-law came to visit.
Who has such a long mouth? Zhuang Bailu's words were so ugly that Meng Changli was also angry. She gave up the idea of fooling around and retorted, "I didn't steal or rob. I earned value through my own labor. Why should I be ashamed? Mom, we are all human beings with two eyes and one mouth. Do you have to be so ugly when you say something like that?"
"Did I say something rude?" Zhuang Bailu pointed at Meng Changli in disbelief, as if she had committed a serious crime. "Do you know what you have done? Do you know what you are doing now? When you were doing these things, did you consider yourself as the daughter-in-law of the Huang family? Did you consider Jialin? Do you know that your behavior may cause him to lose his hard-earned job?"
Zhuang Bailu's thoughts and vision are obviously still stuck in a few years ago.
Meng Changli frowned, "Mom, please don't be so impulsive, okay? I'm doing my own thing, it has nothing to do with Jialin, and I've already told Jialin about this before!"
Because her husband is a public official, Meng Changli still has some concerns.
She hid her business plan from her mother-in-law but not from her husband.
The young couple has only been married for a few years, and they still have some affection for each other.
And she also wanted her husband to help cover it up for two months, so she had to tell him about these things.
That day, Meng Changli and her mother went to the town to get a sample to show her sister, and she took some time to go to the primary school to look for her husband.
She thought about it and decided that if her husband didn't like it, she would just operate the sewing machine to make clothes and ask others to help her with the selling work.
As long as she doesn't show up, there will be no problem.
At the time, her husband looked a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything, so Meng Changli naturally thought that there was no problem.
So she followed them to town today. After all, it was the first day of business and she wanted to come and take a look.
But now, why is this man silent?
Meng Changli was attracted to her husband because he was honest, not stupid.

In a situation like this, she naturally wanted her husband to stand up and speak a few words for her.
But Huang Jialin didn't say a word at all, and even avoided Meng Changli's sight.
Meng Changli was speechless and very angry.
Zhuang Bailu sneered and said calmly, "What's the point of telling Jialin? He always gives in to you. You only know how to bully my son."
Zhuang Bailu has been working in the Women's Federation for so many years, so her speaking skills are quite good.
Meng Changli couldn't argue with her and was so angry that her hands were shaking.
At this time, Meng Shulan came over and stood directly next to her sister.
"Aunt, what you just said is not right. How did my sister bully your son? Did she beat him? Scold him? Or did she give him less food and clothes?"
Looking at Huang Jialin’s cowardly look, Meng Shulan doesn’t even want to call him brother-in-law.
Zhuang Bailu didn't expect Meng Shulan to stand up. Usually this girl doesn't say much.
He is a high school student anyway, so his thinking is relatively clear.
Zhuang Bailu: "It's not your turn to interrupt the elders. Since you are a student, you should focus on studying to avoid wasting time."
Zhuang Bailu is not only good at talking, but also good at making sarcastic remarks.
Meng Shulan snorted and looked at Zhuang Bailu with some disdain. "Your last name is Zhuang, and mine is Meng. If you are not my sister, how can you be my elder? So, don't act so arrogantly in front of me. If you want to bully my sister, ask me if I agree first."
Meng Shulan probably guessed that her sister had not explained the matter clearly to her family, but this did not stop her from protecting and standing by her sister.
After her rebirth, she had long wanted to teach that mean old woman Zhuang Bailu and her cowardly brother-in-law a lesson.
