Posted to the Sunset Red Elderly Task Force, Mo Yan is cold and aloof: "It's a small matter."
As the saying goes, filial piety comes from discipline. As for ungrateful brats, you ...
He wasn't really sure why he said those things, and he didn't even understand what he was thinking.
Perhaps he genuinely felt that Qianqian wouldn't be happy with him, or perhaps he hoped that after learning about the situation, Qianqian would go back and persuade her parents.
"Come to my house for dinner tomorrow. I've already spoken to my parents, and then we can discuss this matter further."
Qianqian didn't want to give up so easily. She wasn't love-struck; she had genuinely thought about what it would be like to be with Kangping in the future.
Kangping is a decent person. He always gives in to her when they're together. Besides, he has several older brothers and sisters, so his mother might not need to live with them in the future.
They all live in the county, and they can buy a house in the future and live their own lives, which is great.
If you really want to find someone who is a "suitable match" in terms of social status, those mothers-in-law are the ones who are really hard to please.
She was willing to help Kangping take care of his parents, but she also wanted to be with him!
“Okay…” Kangping was a little nervous, but he didn’t want to give up this opportunity. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance that they could be together, he didn’t want to give up. Just like his mother said, what he should do was let everyone see his true feelings.
Instead of trying to produce something he can't possibly provide, he should do something beyond his current capabilities. He shouldn't make promises he can't keep; otherwise, what's the difference between him and shameless people?
He couldn't accept that his brother and sister-in-law would do so for him without feeling guilty.
When the third son left and his mother-in-law made no move, the two daughters-in-law came over to inquire about the situation.
"Mom, how's the third son's job going?"
"Mom, when is our third son going to take us to the city?"
Seeing how excited her two daughters-in-law were, Mo Yan told them the truth.
“I’ve already spoken to the third brother. Starting next month, he will pay you back a portion of the money each month until it’s all paid off.”
He lives in a dormitory now and doesn't even have the money to get married, so it's unlikely he can take you to the city.
But I think you can give it a try yourselves. The vegetables at home are growing quite well, and we can't finish them all. You can take them to the city and sell them.
Otherwise, I think you could go pick up trash, or sell food, anything is fine.
People need to be flexible in their lives. As long as you're willing to work hard, you can survive anywhere. If you want to go to the city, you can do it entirely on your own.
The two daughters-in-law: "???"
"What?"
They were a little confused. This wasn't what they'd been told before. Their mother-in-law had always said that if one person achieved success, even their chickens and dogs would benefit; as long as her brother-in-law had a job, both families could live well. Otherwise, they really wouldn't have... worked that hard.
"Mom, you didn't say that before. You said that as long as we expose my brother-in-law, our whole family will be city people."
"Yes, you also said that your brother-in-law found a girlfriend whose family is very rich and who is also an official. She will definitely be able to support us in the future. Our family will be honored and our ancestors will be brought glory to us."
Cough cough...
Mo Yan coughed twice, never expecting that the original owner of this body thought this way before; it was truly shameless.
Isn't this just like a leech, trying to suck the blood out of the woman's family?
Of course, this family really did everything in their power to send their son out of the mountains.
"Then I want you to go back to your parents' home and move all your belongings to our house. Do your parents' families agree to that?"
The two daughters-in-law thought for a moment and quickly shook their heads. Of course they disagreed. Not only did they disagree, their parents might even beat them up and kick them out.
"You see, you all know very well that your families would never let you leech off them, and Kangping's girlfriend's family must think the same way."
Not to mention, their prospects are still very uncertain, and whether they can succeed in Chengdu is unknown. But with our own efforts, we can definitely make money. I have a few money-making methods here; would you like to give them a try?
Mo Yan could only offer her recipes: one was a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe), and the other was liangfen (cold mung bean jelly). These two would definitely sell well if placed near the school gate.
The two daughters-in-law: "???"
They were a little skeptical, feeling that their mother-in-law was just making empty promises again.
"Why are you looking at me with such suspicion? Back in the day, I was also a street vendor, and I made this jelly and rice cake."
Don't worry, I won't let you go out on your own. I'll go with you. I'll take out my savings for my funeral, and the three of us will go.
"We'll split the profits among the three of us, what if we don't give any to those two brats?"
The two were starting to feel a little attracted...
The mother-in-law treated them fairly well. Apart from asking them to give money for her brother-in-law's education, she was generally reliable.
Should they believe it or not?
Seeing that her two daughters-in-law seemed tempted but hesitant, Mo Yan patted the table.
"What are you two afraid of? You're not contributing any money, just some labor. If you can make money, you can even split the profits. Even if it doesn't work out, it'll only take a few days. With them handling the work in the fields, what's there to be afraid of?"
Yeah, they'll only waste a few days at most. Anyway, they definitely won't spend any money. They're not stupid.
"Mom said it's settled, we'll use your savings as capital. If it makes money, we'll invest; if it doesn't, we won't be responsible."
"Yes, you've given all your money to the third son over the years, so you should give us some too."
They weren't the kind of daughters-in-law who were particularly disliked; they just wanted to be fair.
If they were truly heartless, they wouldn't have given up the money. They're just thinking, "He's still my man's brother..."
