Lin Xiuzhen, who was in the late stages of cancer, died and transmigrated to the 1970s, into the body of a biased widow who had lost her husband and had five children.
The original host died ...
Chapter 25 This family doesn’t keep useless people!
It was a rare occasion that all the family members were present today, so in the evening, Lin Xiuzhen simply held a family meeting at home.
Everyone didn't understand why Lin Xiuzhen did this.
They all sat in a row in the yard and looked at Lin Xiuzhen with serious expressions.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start our Gu family's first family meeting. The fourth child in the family is going to school now. Do any of you sisters want to go to school? If so, raise your hands and tell us about your plans and intentions."
The sisters below stopped talking and fell silent.
Mainly because I suddenly didn’t know what to say.
"Mom! I have something to say!"
In the end, it was Gu Jiabao who raised his hand.
Lin Xiuzhen was very disgusted.
"explain!"
"Mom, I want to study too! I want to go back to school!"
After Gu Jiabao finished speaking, he lowered his head and stopped talking.
How should I put it? As the only boy in the family, he definitely had the opportunity to study, but isn't this the case that he is courting death?
He skipped classes every other day, and later he stopped studying before he even finished junior high school.
The original body was a person who loved children. When she saw that her baby had suffered so much in school and Gu Jiabao said that he didn't want to go to school anymore, she readily agreed.
However, after experiencing the devastation of these few days, Gu Jiabao clearly realized the tragic reality that if he did not study, he would have to work in the fields.
Rather than suffering the hardship of working in the fields, it is better to suffer the hardship of going to school. At least going to school is not so tiring!
Thinking about the time he had to carry manure these days, he almost vomited.
"Ask yourself, are you good enough to study? Your application is rejected!"
Lin Xiuzhen said directly and arbitrarily.
Gu Jiabao was so angry that his eyes turned red.
"Why can those girls do it? I can't. You are just biased!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I am biased. If you have the ability, you should get good grades in school!"
Lin Xiuzhen said unhappily.
Gu Jiabao started playing coward again.
"Mom, I want to go to school too!"
Gu Qiujin thought for a long time before she mustered up the courage to raise her hand and speak.
"Well, tell me what you are going to do."
"I stopped going to school after junior high school, but my grades were actually pretty good, so I wanted to go to school and get into high school, which would only take about two years. I wanted to see if I could get into college!"
After saying this, Gu Qiujin shut up and stopped talking.
The main reason was that I was worried that even if I told my mother, she would not agree, after all, she had not been to school for several years.
If we go back now, we may not be able to keep up with everyone else's progress.
Another point is that her family is already in financial difficulty, and at this time, they may not have the conditions to let her go to college!
"Okay, then go ask if you can transfer to high school. But you have to be mentally prepared. None of you can fall behind in the housework."
Gu Qiujin looked up at Lin Xiuzhen with surprise. She never expected that her mother would actually agree.
He didn't dare to ask any more questions and agreed without hesitation.
"Mom, don't worry. When I get home from school, I will definitely help with the housework."
Only then did Lin Xiuzhen nod with satisfaction.
The second child, Gu Xialin, didn’t have so many thoughts, as her grades were not good either.
Going to school is a waste of money. Another point is that if I go to school, there will be no one to help at home. My eldest sister is pregnant and will definitely need someone to take care of her.
So Gu Xialin didn't say that she was going to school, and the matter was settled.
"Gu Jiabao, just stay at home and work in the fields. You are the only male in our Gu family now, and it is time for you to stand up on your own feet. You should go work in the fields for me early!"
Gu Jiabao was probably really wronged.
After hearing what Lin Xiuzhen said, his defense was immediately broken.
"Why? I think you are partial to these girls. You say I am your precious son, but now you won't let me go to school. Just wait, I will tell my grandparents and they will definitely teach you a lesson."
It can be seen that he really can't bear it anymore and is now going to his grandparents for support.
How well he was treated before, but look at it now, it’s like heaven and earth. It’s good enough if he can hold on for a few days.
Lin Xiuzhen nodded, "Is it in vain that I have loved you all these years? I have been partial to you for so many years, so what if it is your sisters' turn now? Since you are not convinced, you should leave my house and go find your grandparents to see if they will support you."
Lin Xiuzhen was not afraid at all.
To deal with such naughty kids, you have to use some drastic measures.
Lin Xiuzhen didn't want to raise a useless child. If he really couldn't be helped, then it would be better not to have this son.
This family doesn't keep trash.
Gu Jiabao felt really aggrieved this time. He stamped his feet, looked at the few people with resentful eyes, turned around and ran out.
Gu Chunlan was still a little worried and wanted to persuade them, but was persuaded by Lin Xiuzhen.
"Don't worry about it. Your brother is just too arrogant. He has become obedient after encountering setbacks. Sit down. I have something to say."
Lin Xiuzhen took her eldest daughter's hand and asked her to sit down, then looked at her other daughters.
"Your brother is not here now, but I want to tell you something. I am going to sell the pickled bamboo shoots I made. Now what we are doing is considered speculation, but mother believes that the market will be opened up in two years.
Our family still owes so much foreign debt, we have to pay it back first. In addition, your eldest sister will live at home from now on. Although the Zhou family has paid a little compensation, we still have to raise the child, and it will cost a lot of money to supplement nutrition!"
After Lin Xiuzhen finished speaking, she saw Gu Chunlan's guilty expression. Lin Xiuzhen was afraid that this girl would get too obsessed with it, so she immediately explained, "Big brother, don't think too much. Mom doesn't dislike you. I'm just telling the truth. So the most important thing for us now is to make money! You can help me make some things at home, and then I'll go to the city to sell them."
Lin Xiuzhen got straight to the point.
The girls in the family were all dumbfounded.
When did their mother become so bold?
"Mom, why don't I go and sell it? You're old and if you get caught by accident, then..."
The second brother said with a worried look on his face.
After all, my mother is not young anymore, and her legs and feet are not good. If she encounters someone who comes to arrest people, she can't run away.
Lin Xiuzhen felt that she was disliked.
He immediately puffed out his chest in defiance.
"What's wrong with being old? Older means more experience. Okay, I know your mother's limits. It's just a business. This won't be a problem for me."
Lin Xiuzhen does have her own way of doing business.
But if this silly girl went, she would probably be cheated, so she would still happily help them count the money.
The eldest boss Gu Chunlan would be much more worried.
"mother......."
She was a little touched.
Isn't her mother doing this for herself?
Her mother is really different now.
Look how good you are to yourself now. The child hasn’t even been born yet, but your mother has already started to care about you.
Fortunately, Lin Xiuzhen didn't know about her eldest daughter's wild thoughts.
