Aunt Du prepared a large table of dishes.
"Where's Xiao Lie?"
Leng Liguo slapped himself. "Mom, I forgot to tell you, Xiao Lie has to go out for a few days."
Aunt Du said with regret, "Oh dear, I was just thinking of inviting him to a family reunion dinner, but who knows what will happen in the future..."
If you marry a good wife, all is well; if you marry a bad one, not only will it cause unrest in the household, but you might even lose your son.
Guan Yuxi understood her feelings as a mother-in-law and stepped forward with a smile, saying, "Look at what you're saying, Auntie. You and Uncle have carefully selected this daughter-in-law."
Naturally, it means a prosperous family and things getting better and better.
All she knew was that Leng Liguo's fiancée was from Dujiaping, but she knew nothing about her personality or character.
Uncle Leng and Aunt Du had been looking for a suitable eldest daughter-in-law, and had even put their sons' marriages on hold. Now that they were finally getting married, they assumed she would be a good person in terms of character and appearance.
Leng Liguo chimed in, "That's right, Mom, why do you keep thinking about all this nonsense?"
If you're worried about me, I might as well stay single for the rest of my life.
"Your boss said I've forgotten my mother after getting married!"
Aunt Du was so angry that she threw the brush she was holding at them.
Watching the mother and son laughing and joking, Guan Yuxi simply moved a stool to the side and sat down in a daze.
She missed Leng Lie a little.
Although he had only been gone for half a day.
The thought of him going off to do something unknown, or whether he might encounter danger, made her wish she could leave her body and follow him.
Why did she transmigrate into a historical novel?
How wonderful it would be to transmigrate into a cultivation novel!
Soaring through the sky and diving into the earth, riding the clouds and mist, that feeling is absolutely exhilarating.
But the thought of her fear of heights made her give up on the idea.
After dinner, Guan Yuxi called Leng Liguo over to talk to Uncle Leng.
"Uncle, I want my third and fourth brothers to learn a trade from my second uncle."
You don't need to keep watch over it every day; just go over whenever you have free time.
She had been thinking about this for many days.
Wen Er Ma's attitude made her feel increasingly uncomfortable.
Especially when she gave her second uncle more and more money each time.
"You shouldn't have raised the price for your second uncle!"
You should know very well what kind of person your second aunt is.
Uncle Leng tapped his pipe, took a puff, and sighed.
He had wanted to remind Guan Yuxi about this for a while.
Yet, I felt at a loss for words.
After all, Guan Yuxi made money and still remembered that helping her elders was a good intention.
If an elder acts disrespectfully and tries to steal someone else's job, then you can't blame her!
Guan Yuxi smiled bitterly, "I never expected it to turn out like this!"
However, if I had to do it all over again, I would still do the same thing.
The theory of "letting some get rich first to help others get rich later" has not yet been put forward.
She had long since internalized this belief and regarded it as her life motto.
"If Uncle can't bear to see his two older brothers suffer, then so be it."
The third brother, Leng Limin, and the fourth brother, Li'an, learned blacksmithing from their second uncle, Leng, for a few years when they were young.
Later, because the family's financial situation improved.
Uncle Leng then sent the two of them to school and never did that hard work again.
Now that Guan Yuxi wants them to return to their old ways, she has naturally considered that Uncle Leng and Aunt Du might not agree.
However, she didn't care.
There are plenty of young people in the village.
"What's there to be reluctant about! Let them go, they can go tomorrow."
If he can lend a hand to his second uncle and learn a skill along the way, we won't have to subsidize his marriage.
"That's wonderful! Why would your uncle disagree? Xiaoxi, don't worry!"
Aunt Du rushed into the house, glaring at Uncle Leng.
If it weren't for her presence, Guan Yuxi felt she would have already taken matters into her own hands.
Uncle Leng ignored him and instead took a few more puffs on his pipe before saying, "Isn't our house a bit too conspicuous?"
It's a good thing that Xiaoxi is close to our family, but the eldest son just got a job in a clothing factory, and the fifth son went to the city to open a photo studio.
Now it's the third and fourth kids' turn...
As the village chief, he's afraid of being talked about behind his back!
Guan Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought his uncle was just reluctant to let his two sons suffer.
After all, there has been a saying since ancient times that life is full of three hardships: rowing a boat, blacksmithing, and selling tofu.
Nowadays, without electricity, there's no way to use power tools. Blacksmithing relies entirely on brute force, swinging a sledgehammer, and is exposed to smoke and fire every day. It's alright in winter, but it's really tough in summer.
"Uncle is mistaken; the garment factory is a collective business."
The crafts are for a photography studio, but they are all things I personally wanted to do, regardless of what outsiders might say.
They'll just say I'm close to you all.
Guan Yuxi smiled.
Aunt Du quickly chimed in, "That's right, not many people are willing to do his second uncle's job."
Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone so many years without taking on a single apprentice!
Uncle Leng quickly realized what was happening.
"Okay, let them go."
However, let's make it clear first, even if they can do things independently from now on.
You can't give them that much money, lest the kids get ungrateful!
Guan Yuxi readily agreed.
Since that money wasn't included in her wages, she could find other ways to supplement their income.
The prerequisite is that they must first complete their apprenticeship and hone their skills to be as good as Uncle Leng's!
"Just pretend you don't know anything about this."
To avoid your second aunt worrying too much, your first aunt and I will talk to them about the rest.
Uncle Leng thought for a moment and then gave Guan Yuxi some more instructions.
Guan Yuxi was more than happy to agree and quickly nodded in agreement.
"Stay here."
