Chapter 99 Which woman hasn't gone through this?

When Yan Sui got home, she made herself a cup of strawberry sparkling water.

Before I could even take two sips, Aunt Ruan came over.

"Yan Sui, we've recruited almost all the people. I'll bring them over to take a look."

This time, Aunt Ruan hired more than a dozen temporary workers.

Although it's said to be temporary, Yan Sui definitely needs to find someone to manage so many places, and permanent staff will be selected from among them.

With so many elderly people in one room, it felt particularly noisy and crowded.

But Aunt Ruan had given them a heads-up beforehand, so everyone spoke very tactfully, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

At this moment, Guo Dazui asked, "When do we start working?"

Yan Sui said, "It will take some time. I have already contacted someone to come and do soil testing. They will provide an improvement plan based on the soil quality, and then we can formulate a planting plan."

Just contact an organic fertilizer company, and they'll take care of it.

They will also provide technical support to improve your land and develop a more scientific and soil-friendly planting plan.

Guo Dazui and the others looked at each other, "It's just farming, why make it so complicated?"

Aunt Ruan explained, "Because these are organic vegetables, and organic vegetables on the market are much more expensive than what we eat."

"What do you mean by 'chicken' or 'chicken'? It's all a lie," Guo Dazui muttered.

This prompted Aunt Ruan to glare at her, "What nonsense are you talking about? Yan Sui's vegetables taste better than our own. If I hadn't eaten them, would I say that?"

Guo Dazui didn't dare to argue with her, and was even a little annoyed.

She's now receiving her salary from Yan Sui, and her husband even reminded her to watch her words before she left.

"It's better to work in a few days. I still need to go see my daughter."

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Zhao looked puzzled.

"Didn't your daughter finish her postpartum confinement?"

Guo Dazui's daughter was born around the Lunar New Year. Her parents-in-law abandoned her, so Guo Dazui went over to take care of her.

"Sigh, she's so dramatic. I guess she's tired from taking care of the kids and is arguing with my son-in-law."

In the past, Aunt Ruan would probably have agreed with her.

Which woman hasn't gone through this?

But when she thinks of her husband and son, she only feels heartbroken when she looks back on the past.

"What's with the fuss? Didn't you have a hard time when you were pregnant and giving birth? You've been through it too, so you should understand how difficult it was for her. Your son-in-law can earn money, but doesn't your daughter earn money too? Your daughter can have children, but can your son-in-law?"

"Hey!" Guo Dazui found her words strange. "Which woman hasn't gone through this?"

Aunt Ruan was furious; anyone who didn't know better would think this was her daughter.

“It’s precisely because she’s already gone through all this that you should be more understanding of how difficult things have been for her. Her husband doesn’t understand her, and you’re her own mother. Instead of standing up for her, you’re taking the side of others.”

Guo Dazui was speechless. She wasn't speaking up for someone else; that was her son-in-law.

She sighed, "I'm worried too. If I don't help to smooth things over, am I supposed to fan the flames?"

Yan Sui rested her chin on her hand and asked, "Why is standing up for your own daughter considered stirring up trouble?"

Guo Dazui was taken aback, and said awkwardly, "What if I upset my son-in-law?"

"You don't care if your daughter is unhappy, but you care whether he's happy or not." You can't distinguish between close and distant relatives.

Yan Sui: "Aunt Guo, are you trying to please your son-in-law? Are you afraid he'll divorce your daughter?"

"How can I not be afraid? Divorce isn't something to be proud of," Guo Dazui said irritably.

"Your daughter has a job with a good income, and your child is still breastfeeding. What are you so afraid of?"

It's quite bizarre that he would turn a blind eye to his own daughter's grievances in order to please his son-in-law.

Guo Dazui waved his hand, "You're still young, you don't understand."

Yan Sui shrugged and didn't argue with her anymore.

But her words still affected Guo Dazui.

That night, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and ended up waking her husband.

"Do you have thorns on you?"

Guo Dazui sat up abruptly. "Old Lin, do you think our daughter might have been wronged in some way?"

Old Lin opened his eyes. "No way? Her in-laws aren't around."

Guo Dazui kicked him, disagreeing with what he said.

"Is all she does conflict with her in-laws? Is her husband dead?"

Old Lin clicked his tongue, his face full of impatience: "Don't you know what kind of person our son-in-law is? He has a good temper and he can't argue with our daughter."

Guo Dazui and he couldn't see eye to eye.

The words that Aunt Ruan and Yan Sui said today lingered in her mind, refusing to leave her thoughts.

Does having a good temper mean you won't let your partner suffer?

They are the ones living their lives; they act one way in front of their elders, but perhaps another way in front of their wives.

"Never mind, I'll go check it out tomorrow."

Old Lin grunted and said, "Give her some advice, tell her not to get stuck on this, and to be more understanding of her son-in-law. He doesn't earn money easily either."

Guo Dazui had thought the same way before, but hearing it come out of his mouth sounded extremely grating to him.

Her daughter isn't unpaid; even on maternity leave, she still receives a salary.

If making money is this hard, then his daughter must have to have children and raise them in addition to making money. Isn't that even harder than his job?

Because of these things on his mind, Guo Dazui didn't sleep well.

The next day, he woke up with obvious bruises under his eyes.

Old Lin still found it strange, "Did you go thieving last night?"

Guo Dazui ignored him and continued packing his things.

"Why are you still packing clothes? Are you going to stay at your daughter's house?"

Guo Dazui said irritably, "When I spoke to her last time, I could tell she wasn't feeling well, so I'll spend a couple more days with her and help take care of her child."

It wasn't just that her daughter wasn't in the right state; she felt as if her daughter had lost all her energy and spirit.

Old Lin thought she was making a fuss over nothing. "What problem could there be? She's just being dramatic."

Guo Dazui ignored him and left with his bag.

Halfway there, I saw Yan Sui busy in the field, with Sui Sui beside her, who looked very busy but I didn't know what she was doing.

She looked at her with surprise, "Getting up so early today, the sun must have risen in the west."

Yan Sui glanced at the large bags in her hands and asked, "Are you going into the city to see your daughter?"

"Hey, bring her something. The chickens in the city aren't as good as the ones we raise."

Yan Sui pointed to the vegetable garden behind her, "Should we pick some vegetables to take with us?"

Guo Dazui laughed, "This is so embarrassing."

However, Yan Sui's family grew the best vegetables in the village; they were so fresh and looked so rare.

"What's the big deal? You even gave my grandma a jar of honey last time. That's more precious than these vegetables I have."

"Oh, it's just a jar of honey, all from our own chickens."

We send them almost every year, this isn't the only exception.

Guo Dazui walked in with a smile, "Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Some cherry tomatoes ripened today, and she packed them all up for Guo Dazui.

"That's enough, that's too much." She knew that Yan Sui's vegetables were very expensive online.

Yan Sui smiled and said, "Giving birth and raising a child is very tiring. Let her eat more; health is the foundation of everything."

Guo Dazui was startled, suddenly feeling as if the thing in his hand was incredibly heavy.

"Oh, thank you on her behalf, auntie."
