Chapter 59 Mother is rich

Li Xiaoying felt upset when she thought that these candies and snacks must have been earned by her mother from saving eggs and raising chickens and ducks and selling them.

My mother loves her grandchildren so much that she is willing to give them everything. I come back so rarely that I can’t spend more time with them.

Seeing the two children eating happily and smiling, Aunt Li Shiyi was also happy. She held her little granddaughter in her arms and patted her gently, saying with a smile: "Mom has money, and these things are not bought by herself, but given by the boss."

She put the children aside and let them play by themselves. Just then, her son-in-law was pulled away by his uncles and brothers to talk, so she told him everything about what had happened in the Zhao family in Yan Village.

Li Xiaoying was stunned by what she heard, but she was also happy for her. She smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mom to have such a lucky chance. That's great. You won't be so bored on a daily basis, and you can earn money. As long as the Zhao family is doing well, that's good! If not, then don't go."

Li Xiaoying was not worried that her mother would be wronged or bullied, because the people of Zaihu Village would not suffer bullying outside.

It is precisely because they are united, protective of others, unwilling to suffer losses, have bad tempers, and are not easy to mess with that very few people are willing to hire them when they are looking for short-term jobs in the city, even though they work diligently and responsibly.

Aunt Li Shiyi said with a smile, "The Zhao family are all good people. Mother can't bear to leave such a good opportunity."

As she spoke, she took out three taels of silver and stuffed it into Li Xiaoying's hand: "Spend it. You have some money in your hand, and you have confidence."

"Mom, I don't want to—"

"Take it! Mother can't spend so much, and it will be given to you in the future. In the Zhao family, you really can't spend it."

Li Xiaoying felt guilty and reluctantly accepted it with a smile, "Thank you, mother."

She became envious again as she spoke, "I heard some big boss bought land in our Zaihu Village to grow sugarcane. Every family has work to do and is making a lot of money! I wish Bajiao Village would be that lucky too! Then we can have some work to do and earn some money to supplement our family income."

Aunt Li Shiyi also knew about the sugarcane plantation, but she didn't know the details and didn't care much. She smiled and said, "This matter is also somewhat related to the Zhao family. I'll ask the Zhao family. If the boss needs work in the future, why not consider Bajiao Village?"

"That's great!" Li Xiaoying's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Mom, you know Bajiao Village. Most of the villagers are down-to-earth. The village head and clan leader are not just for show! If a big boss really wants to hire someone, I guarantee the job will be done properly, without any hesitation!"

Who would be so stupid as not to seize the opportunity to make money?

Many people in Bajiaozhai were talking about Zaihu Village, and they were all extremely envious.

I didn’t expect that this was related to the family my mother lives with. This is great!

Aunt Li Shiyi naturally hoped for the best for her daughter, and since Bajiao Village was indeed a good place, she smiled and nodded, "I'll give it a try if I get a chance!"

Li Xiaoying smiled and said, "Then please don't forget it, mother!"

"I can't forget!" Aunt Li Shiyi glared at her daughter and scolded her with a smile, "Girl, you're really outgoing and cunning. You seem to be very concerned about the affairs of Bajiao Village."

Li Xiaoying smiled a little embarrassedly, pulling Aunt Li Shiyi's arm and acting coquettishly: "Mom, if Bajiao Village is doing well, then our family will naturally be doing well too. If I can save a little money, I can buy things for you and show my filial piety to you!"

Unlike now, she would never get any money. When she came back from the New Year, she would bring chickens, eggs and other things that were all produced at home. Her mother-in-law would look sullen and unhappy, so she had to pretend not to see it.

Aunt Li Shiyi was so happy that she couldn't stop laughing. "Oh, mother doesn't expect you to buy anything. As long as you and your son-in-law are doing well and taking good care of Liang'er and Xiaoduo, mother will be satisfied."

The mother and daughter talked for a while, and then Li Xiaoying's uncle from her mother's side came to call them for dinner, so they went over together.

When I came back in the past, sometimes I would eat at my mother's house with my mother and daughter, and sometimes I would go to my uncle and aunt's house to eat, but no time had such a sumptuous meal as this time. My uncle, aunt, cousin and their wife all had smiles on their faces, and my uncle even opened a jar of wine, making it a lively occasion.

Around 3:00 PM, Li Xiaoying and her husband returned home with their children. Both were in exceptionally good spirits today, and they had endless conversation along the way.

Pan Erzhu was filled with envy: "Zaihu Village is really doing great now, making a lot of money! When we came here in the past, uncles and aunts would never treat us like this? Well, it's good to make money, and people are much more generous. Why don't we in Bajiao Village have such good luck?"

Li Xiaoying couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You're dreaming! My uncle and aunt are nice people, but do you think they treat us well just because they make money? I think it's because of my mother."

She didn't tell the whole truth, but it was mostly true. She just reduced her mother's monthly salary by half.

Even so, it was enough to make Pan Erzhu stunned, "This, there is such a good thing!"

Just for company, I actually get paid, free food and lodging, plenty of white rice for every meal, and almost meat every day? What kind of heavenly life is this!

No wonder my uncle and aunt are so enthusiastic.

Li Xiaoying couldn't help but proudly talk about the fact that the Zhao family knew the big boss who ran the sugarcane plantation, which made Pan Erzhu excited.

The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. Boss, do you want to open another sugarcane plantation? How about Bajiaozhai?

There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Gradually, many families in Bajiao Village knew that Li Xiaoying's mother worked for the Zhao family and was well paid. And that the Zhao family was also related to the big boss of the sugarcane plantation.

As a result, even the head of the village and the clan leader of Bajiao Village were alarmed and came over to ask Li Xiaoying in detail.

Li Xiaoying was startled and quickly told everything she knew.

The head of the village and the clan leader immediately became much more friendly and asked her to visit her parents more often when she had nothing to do, or to go to Yan Village to see her mother. It would be even better if she had the chance to mention Bajiaozhai.

Whatever Zaihu Village can do, Bajiaozhai can also do, and even do it better!

The village head and his men were also upset. Who told them that their village bordered Zaihu Village? Although the two villages were not close, in a broad sense, they were neighbors.

Who wouldn't feel uncomfortable when the head of the neighboring family shows off when he sees them as the head of the family?

But I can’t help it! In order to show my magnanimity, I have to smile and say “Congratulations!” calmly and calmly. Ugh, I’m almost going to die of anger!

The most infuriating thing was that a young man from their village and a young man from Zaihu Village both had their eyes on a girl from another village. The girl's family was hesitant and had originally favored the young man from their village, but then, a month ago, they quickly arranged a marriage with the family from Zaihu Village. The matchmaker even comforted them, saying that everyone strives for higher status. The girl was so good, of course she wanted to choose a better family. Their Bajiao Village was not bad either, so there was no fear of not finding a good girl.
