Mr. Sheng nodded in satisfaction, "It's good that you didn't see it."
"You're not an employee of our company, so just pretend you didn't see what happened today."
Sheng Yueqing nodded. "I know."
Mr. Sheng and Sheng Jingheng didn't stay long and went back together.
Although Xile and Wuyou were curious about what it was, they wisely refrained from asking.
They are much more mature than before, and know what to say and what not to say.
She quickly forgot about it and started chattering, "Second Sister, you said you were working under Zhang Dahua, why haven't I seen them?"
He and Wuyou both knew about Sheng Yueqing being stolen when she was a child.
I'm quite curious about what Zhang Dahua looks like.
Sheng Yueqing smiled and said, "What's there to be curious about?"
"They're nearby. I'd like to take you for a look later."
Since leaving Zhang Dahua's family, Sheng Yueqing has not contacted them.
Zhang Dahua didn't call her either, seemingly afraid of getting involved in some trouble.
Otherwise, given Zhang Dahua's nature, seeing that she has money, she would surely come and leech off her.
However, Zhang Dahua has been behaving herself in recent years and has not contacted her.
Sheng Yueqing didn't intend to look for her. There was no mother-daughter relationship between them to begin with, and not disturbing each other was the best outcome.
I haven't found a house I like yet.
Sheng Yueqing locked the door and took Wuyou, Xile, and Old Madam Sheng back home first.
Grandma Sheng hadn't been to the countryside in a long time, so she looked around, ate a lot of melon seeds, and even brought her own trash bags.
If you encounter a country woman, just smile and chat with her.
He handed them a handful of sunflower seeds, and the two started chatting.
This old woman was also from Zhang Dahua's village. Whenever Zhang Dahua was mentioned, this old woman would talk on and on.
"You mean Zhang Dahua? She's been living a comfortable life in the city for a long time now."
"I heard she found her daughter a good job and a good husband; the husband's family even owns a factory."
As for which factory it was, the old woman couldn't explain.
They only said it was a timber factory or a cement factory.
Zhang Dahua gave a lot of money to help Sheng Jinjin with her dowry.
Only in this way can Sheng Jinjin be married off with dignity.
As for how she fared at her husband's family home, no one knows.
Another old woman chimed in, "I saw them in town before. I saw the mother and daughter buying vegetables together and haggling over prices."
At that time, the old woman saw that Zhang Dahua was haggling over the price when buying scallions, and it seemed that she was not very well-off.
Wasn't Zhang Dahua's in-laws supposed to be very wealthy? How come they're so stingy?
The old woman inquired, "It's said that Zhang Dahua's in-laws have a total of ten sons. Sheng Jinjin married the last one, who is also the youngest."
Everyone says that older people love their children, but this old woman doesn't know the specifics.
Joy and Worry listened with great curiosity.
"Ten sons? Wouldn't that mean fierce competition?"
Especially since the family owns a factory, there will definitely be competition among the sons.
Especially with so many daughters-in-law.
The village women thought the same thing and gathered around to gossip.
"You wouldn't believe it, but it's said that the family Sheng Jinjin married into had ten sons, all of whom had daughters."
"Sheng Jinjin has been married for many years and only got pregnant this year. We don't know if this baby will be a boy or a girl."
"All of her husband's daughters-in-law have given birth to daughters. If she has a son this time, she'll be much more valuable."
"If it were another girl, things would probably be difficult."
Xile, being quite gossipy, asked, "Is there something wrong with the feng shui of her in-laws' house? Why do they keep having daughters?"
Could it be that the previous generation had too many sons? This generation is starting to have daughters to balance things out?
The old women all laughed at these words.
But he also agreed, "It's quite possible."
The Zhu family was large and wealthy, and after Granny Zhu entered the family, she gave birth to sons for three consecutive years.
The next seven were still sons.
Therefore, Granny Zhu was a great contributor to the Zhu family.
Now that Zhu Pozi's parents-in-law have passed away, Zhu Pozi is in charge of the Zhu family.
With so many daughters-in-law in the family, some rich and some poor, they all gave birth to daughters; there are already twenty of them.
Now that Sheng Jinjin is pregnant, Granny Zhu is hoping it will be a grandson.
Sheng Jinjin was also very nervous, fearing that this baby would be a girl.
She had been married for several years without getting pregnant, and her in-laws would have wanted them to divorce if they weren't afraid of the embarrassment of a divorce.
Fortunately, her job is going well now; she's even become a workshop director, and her mother-in-law has finally started to treat her better.
Now all that's missing is a son to solidify his position.
As for living expenses, although the Zhu family owns a factory, Granny Zhu is very stingy.
Not only did they not provide living expenses, they also made their son and daughter-in-law work in the factory to earn money.
The salary wasn't much, just enough for the family to eat and drink.
Although the daughters-in-law had complaints, they lacked confidence because they couldn't give birth to sons.
Moreover, since the husband's family had a large factory, and they wanted to get a larger share of the family property in the future, they didn't separate their households and continued to live in the same large house.
Sheng Jinjin had the lowest status in her husband's family because her own family was the poorest.
The other daughters-in-law all come from the city. Although they are not very wealthy, they are all educated and have decent jobs.
Unlike her, who got into the factory through bribery and back channels.
Fortunately, she worked hard and gradually rose through the ranks. In addition, Zhang Dahua received a lot of money from Sheng Yueqing, which enabled her to receive a substantial dowry so she could marry into the family.
At the time, many people in the village were envious.
Little did she know that she was not having an easy time in the Zhu family.
Granny Zhu was stingy and strict; she not only didn't give them pocket money, but also demanded monthly allowances from them.
She had been enduring this for many years because she had not conceived and had not brought any benefits to her husband's family.
Sometimes I have to please my mother-in-law and buy her things, which is why I'm so strapped for cash.
You have to haggle even when buying vegetables.
But she wouldn't tell anyone, after all, she still cared about her reputation.
The scene of people haggling over prices when buying vegetables was witnessed by villagers.
She had just returned to the village and was originally planning to make a grand entrance.
I didn't expect to hear those old women at the village entrance gossiping again as soon as I got back.
Zhang Dahua was about to go over and start a tirade, but she stopped her.
Don't go.
After all, she hasn't had a son yet, so she lacks confidence.
Besides, if she went to scold them, wouldn't that prove she wasn't doing well in the Zhang family?
So Sheng Jinjin pretended not to hear it.
Xile and Wuyou, with their sharp eyes, noticed, "Hey, isn't that Sheng Jinjin?"
Because Sheng Jinjin's gaze had been fixed on this spot, her eyes filled with resentment.
The expression clearly shows the person involved is furious and embarrassed after hearing bad things said about themselves.
Sheng Yueqing also looked over.
That's true.
She hadn't seen Sheng Jinjin and her daughter for many years.
It's been many years since I last saw Sheng Jinjin, and she seems to have gotten a bit prettier.
She used to have a very ordinary appearance, but now she knows how to dress herself up.
The coat is a woolen overcoat, and it looks quite new. I guess it hasn't been worn many times, probably for holidays like Chinese New Year.
She was also wearing black leather boots, which were much more upscale than her previous cloth shoes.
Looking at her hair, which had been straight and black, she had now curled it, and she was wearing a gold chain around her neck. She certainly looked like a wealthy woman who had married into a rich family.
The other old women also looked over and laughed, "Oh, Madam Jin is back?"
The old women were just talking badly about Sheng Jinjin, but now they're acting like nothing happened and even praising her.
