"How about your sister-in-law buys you a few acres of land in a while, so you can farm it full-time, okay?"

"It's a waste to throw away all that grass and stuff if you're just farming. I'll buy you a few dozen chickens and ducks to raise. Once they're grown up, I'll help you sell them!"

"Xiao Wu, what do you think of this idea?"

If Zhou Xiaowu really enjoys farming, Lin Xue will try to get him a small landlord position in the future.

All he needs to do is cultivate the land and raise some livestock.

It just so happens that Xiao Wu isn't very intelligent, so he can make a good living as a local tycoon!

"Sister-in-law, really? Can I still go back to farming?"

Upon hearing about farming, Zhou Xiaowu immediately became excited.

"If Fourth Brother goes to farm and raise chickens, then I'll open a restaurant and specifically collect Fourth Brother's grain, chickens, and ducks!"

Zhou Xiaomei overheard Lin Xue and Zhou Xiaowu's conversation and immediately chimed in.

She was just thinking that if she could open a restaurant or something, she could definitely buy all the chickens and ducks that her fourth brother raised, so that her fourth brother could farm and raise livestock in peace without having to face the eyes of outsiders.

It should be noted that because of Zhou Xiaowu's intellectual disability, there are rumors circulating about him both in the village and the county.

Zhou Xiaowu is stupid; he doesn't understand!

However, his siblings and family members were always worried that Zhou Xiaowu would get hurt.

"Then I will practice martial arts diligently and become a constable in the future. That way, no one will dare to touch Fourth Brother's harvest, and no one will dare to cause trouble in Sixth Sister's shop!"

Lin Xue never imagined that simply building a stable would determine the fate of three of her five children.

"Xiaocang, your younger siblings all have their own life goals. What do you want to do in the future?"

Lin Xue turned to look at Zhou Xiaocang, who had been silent all along. The boy was unusually quiet today, and she wondered what he was thinking.

Logically speaking, Zhou Xiaocang's greatest skill is farming. He should have similar ambitions to Zhou Xiaowu: to buy dozens of acres of land, become a small landlord, and live a peaceful life.

"Sister-in-law, I don't want to farm, and I don't want to be a constable!"

When Lin Xue asked him about it, Zhou Xiaocang was a little embarrassed and stammered, unable to finish his sentence.

"So what do you want to do? Tell us! We're all family, what can't we say?"

"Yes, Second Brother, just tell me!"

Zhou Xiaohai joined in the commotion, and apart from Zhou Xiaoting, all the other children shared their future plans.

"Why don't you tell us your plans first, Xiaoting? If we have dreams, we have to plan ahead. If we want to do something in the future, we have to learn the knowledge in that area now. Otherwise, without enough knowledge, we won't be able to do anything!"

Seeing that Zhou Xiaocang was still unwilling to speak, Lin Xue had no choice but to turn her attention to Zhou Xiaoting, who was standing to the side.

"I don't have any grand ambitions. In the future, I just want to find a husband who can protect me, be a good wife and mother, and manage the household well!"

After saying this, Zhou Xiaoting felt a little embarrassed. Compared to her brother and sister's aspirations, her wish seemed rather unambitious.

"Everyone has the right to choose their own life. Xiaoting's idea is actually very good, and it's a fairly common choice for modern girls!"

"But even if we want to be a housewife, we need to meet certain conditions!"

The children were all interested in chatting, so Lin Xue led everyone back to the front yard.

I found a stool, sat down under the eaves, and chatted with the children about the future.

"Sister-in-law, isn't being a good wife and mother a skill that every girl can do? What other conditions are required?"

Zhou Xiaoting had never heard of girls having to learn anything before getting married.

Isn't it enough to do housework, cook meals, take care of yourself, and take care of the elderly and children in the family?

"Being a good housewife is not easy. First of all, we must have good cooking skills. Good cooking skills can not only take good care of the health of our family members, but also make our husbands proud!"

Hearing Lin Xue's words, everyone agreed and nodded.

After a girl gets married, she does have to cook every day. If she has good cooking skills, she will definitely bring honor to her parents.

It can also make the husband's family look at her more favorably. Who doesn't like a capable daughter-in-law?

"So, sister-in-law, besides having excellent cooking skills, what other abilities do you need?"

Zhou Xiaoting continued to ask questions; she was very concerned about this issue.

"Of course, one must have a certain cultural foundation and be able to instill good values ​​in the next generation. Educating children is not just about hitting and scolding; it requires considering the other person's needs from a young age!"

"From childhood studies to future planning, and then encouraging them to keep striving towards that goal!"

"Only when you are good enough can you find people who are even better."

"When a man marries, he is also looking for a wife with the ability to manage the household. For example, a farmer would marry a wife who is diligent and thrifty in managing the household! A rich man would marry a wife who can manage the domestic affairs well and also help her husband manage certain businesses!"

"Officials marry for the sake of a woman's knowledge, vision, and the benefits she can bring after her death!"

Lin Xue's words silenced Zhou Xiaoting.

She was thinking about what kind of husband's family she wanted to marry into, and what kind of effort and skills she needed to make to achieve that.

"Sister-in-law, why is it that when you talk about marriage, it's all about profit?"

"Can't we be together because of love?"

Zhou Xiaohai asked somewhat unconvinced. He felt that if he were to marry a wife in the future, he would definitely marry someone he liked and would never let family matters or other reasons influence his thoughts.

"When you get married in the future, then come and tell me you don't care about the woman's conditions!"

"If the person you like is a 'brother-supporting demon,' would you marry her? Or if the person you like is a gambler, a womanizer, fickle, lazy, and falls in love with every woman they meet, are you sure you could still firmly marry her?"

Lin Xue rolled her eyes at Zhou Xiaohai. Who in this world doesn't need to think twice about their future?

How many people who ask for nothing in return actually find happiness?

Who doesn't weigh things carefully and ultimately choose what's most beneficial to themselves?

When you're in a relationship, who doesn't put on airs and show their best side to their partner?

Once married, all pretense will crumble, and one's true nature will be revealed.

Love and marriage exist in two different spaces. Those who say that marriage is the grave of love have all experienced a painful past.

"Sister-in-law, how could you make such an analogy? How could I possibly like a girl like that? I'm not blind..."

Unbeknownst to Zhou Xiaohai, he had already begun to weigh things in his mind.
