Chapter 132 Not Anyone's Vassal
"If you don't want to be a rich wife, what do you want to be?" Hao Mei wondered. Wasn't this praise high enough?
Marry a man to provide you with clothes and food.
Marrying a promising man, living in a big house, eating and drinking well, isn’t that enough?
"Why can't I be a rich man? I am not only Yu Yaoyang's daughter-in-law, I can also be a female entrepreneur, a rich woman, a female investor, a female business tycoon. Similarly, I also hope that my children, regardless of whether they are boys or girls, can be themselves in the future and be proud of their own identities, rather than being someone else's vassal."
Rich wife, rich is based on the spouse's strong financial resources, which itself carries a certain derogatory connotation, Rutang doesn't like it.
Yu Yaoyang is excellent, there is no doubt about that, but she will also become an equally excellent person. Her marriage is a match made in heaven. She wants to be a better person, stand on a higher mountain, watch the sunrise and sunset and the ebb and flow of the tide side by side with him, instead of becoming a dodder, relying on him for existence.
Hao Mei was stunned, and suddenly remembered that her daughter had had such a conversation with her once before.
At that time, she thought her daughter was dreaming. She thought that women should just take care of their husbands and children after getting married, and it would be enough for men to work outside and make money. But when she thought about how her daughter's clothing business and her lunch box business were thriving these days, Hao Mei felt that her daughter was right.
Hao Mei reached out and held Rutang's hand, patting it gently a few times.
"Do whatever you want. I think my daughter is capable and can do anything. You will definitely have a good life in the future."
Rutang's eyes were a little wet. If it wasn't a happy day and she couldn't cry, she would definitely hug her mother and cry.
Although she does not believe in metaphysics, she firmly believes in one metaphysical statement.
Parents are the sky of their children. Of course, unreliable parents like Chen Fu don’t count, as he has been expelled from the status of a father.
Take a parent like Hao Mei who truly loves her children. Even if she is an uneducated farmer, she will be the child's heaven. If heaven wants you to live a good life, you will live a good life too.
There is a saying circulating in the village that parents will say to their children before they go out, "You will be safe today." This means that "Heaven" blesses you with peace, and then there is a 90% chance that the child will be safe that day.
Therefore, when you accept blessings from your parents, you are accepting the blessings given by “Heaven” and you must accept them with joy and don’t talk back. If you talk back, the blessings will be gone and the blessing will fail.
Thinking of this, Rutang nodded heavily and responded to her mother's blessing in a firm tone.
"I will definitely listen to my mother and live a good life."
Hao Mei opened her eyes wide to prevent tears from falling. She had cried for most of her life, but only this time her tears came from happiness. Seeing her daughter had a good home, she felt that her life was enough.
Rutang was full, and seeing that it was about time, she tidied her clothes and went to the yard to meet Yu Yaoyang.
After the toasts were over, Yu Yaoyang was dragged to the main table to chat. At the table were the village chief, the production team leader, and the elders of the village.
Rutang came over and sat next to Yu Yaoyang. When she heard everyone talking about the production team's reform, she pricked up her ears.
In the previous life, the production teams were restructured around this time, and the land became privately owned by the farmers.
Dali Village is located on the seaside. Compared with other rural areas, in addition to the distribution of land and production tools, it also has an important large project, the shrimp circle.
There is a shrimp pen in the village, which is collectively owned.
After this restructuring, the shrimp farm had to be contracted out to individuals. Rutang remembered that in his previous life, Yu Yaoyang wanted to contract this shrimp farm, but failed.
Because Rutang's mental state was not very stable at that time, his health was not very good, and he was sick every other day.
In order to take care of her, Yu Yaoyang gave up the opportunity to contract the shrimp farm and focused on taking care of Rutang.
Rutang couldn't quite remember who contracted the shrimp circle, but he vaguely remembered that this shrimp circle was very profitable.
So when she heard everyone talking about the shrimp circle contract, she asked, "Second uncle, how much does it cost to contract this shrimp circle?"
The village chief was the second uncle. When he heard Rutang ask this, he looked at Yu Yaoyang with a smile and said, "Yangzi, are you interested in taking over the contract?"
Yu Yaoyang put his arm around Rutang’s shoulders.
"I listen to my wife. If she says to pack, then pack."
The custom in the village is that men have the final say, so when the village chief heard Rutang asking such a big question, his first reaction was to ask Yu Yaoyang, but Yu Yaoyang's reaction was to give Rutang enough face and tell everyone with practical actions that his Rutang has the final say.
Yu Yaoyang was the only one who dared to admit in front of so many people that his wife had a status in the family.
The elders at the table had different expressions. They had never seen such a man before. It was so embarrassing. But when I think about the fact that Yu Yaoyang comes from a street background and is not a respectable person, it is not surprising that he treasures women's opinions.
Rutang understood the contemptuous looks of the crowd, but remained calm.
She and her man will use their strength to break the prejudice. Sooner or later, these people will know that capable men are never afraid of their wives, but respect their wives.
Only the most useless men would rely on suppressing the women in their family to show off their status. There is no need to waste your breath on such people, they won't understand even if you talk.
"You can take a look at the price. If it's within the range my husband and I can afford, we can consider it." Rutang said to the village chief with a neither humble nor arrogant attitude, and it was obvious that he had seen the market.
Yu Yaoyang set up the stage for her, so she couldn't be stage fright.
Seeing Rutang so generous, the village chief did not dare to look down on her and replied seriously: "The village is currently holding a meeting and is thinking of renting 2,000 yuan a year. Villagers will be given priority to contract. But Rutang, you have to think carefully. The rent is only the initial investment. Later, you have to buy shrimp seedlings and hire people to raise them. This is a lot of money."
The profits in the breeding industry are very high, but relatively speaking, the risks are also huge.
The cost of renting a shrimp pen is relatively small. The real big expense lies in the subsequent operation. Once the shrimp fry are bought and die of disease, all the investment will be wasted.
That's why the village chief kindly reminded Rutang that he needs to be cautious when contracting.
After deducting the portion kept by the village committee from the income from renting the shrimp pens, the rest will be divided equally among the villagers, with each family getting only about ten or twenty yuan, which is not a lot.
Rutang went over the accounts in her mind and decided that based on her family's current business situation, they were able to take over Xiaquan.
"Uncle, if this shrimp circle can be contracted to us, my husband and I promise that we will only hire people from our village. This can be regarded as an additional income-generating project for our fellow villagers." Rutang said to the village chief.
The village chief had drunk some wine and was in an excited mood. He kept saying that the whole business could definitely be contracted to Rutang's family, but Rutang didn't believe a word the drunken man said.
Now she could only show enough sincerity so that the drunkards at this table would give priority to her family after they sobered up.
Let Yu Yaoyang go to negotiate after he sobers up. Contracting such a big thing will not feel at ease unless it is written down in black and white. Verbal promises are not worth a penny.
After the wedding banquet and seeing off the guests, Yu Yaoyang returned to the room. Just as he was thinking about throwing himself at his wife, he turned around and was speechless.
