At that time, the farm work will be left to the strong men. There are so many businesses recruiting people now. You can work as a waiter and earn some money every month.
Before, her sisters-in-law with rural household registration could not work and earn money, but now, if you want to find a job, it doesn’t matter where you live. There are so many small restaurants in the city that are hiring. You can just ask and if you are qualified, you can do it. If not, you can leave. It’s not a difficult thing, and the money you can earn is actually not less than that in a factory.
But they still stick to the old idea, which is to stay at home and guard their one and a half acres of land, and make a fortune from it.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Your aunt's family got too much land!" Lin Meiyu sighed and said.
Previously, the land was contracted to each household, and the land was distributed according to the number of people in each family. Lin Meiyu's family, including Old Lady Tian, Lin Meiyu, the couple, and Tian Zhuo who was attending school at the time, were allocated a total of 12 acres of land. Although this number sounds small, an acre of land is very large, and it is not an easy task to cultivate all of this land.
At that time, Lin Meiyu even called Tian Tian to ask if she wanted three acres of land. Anyway, they had nothing to do at home and could help Tian Tian farm.
Tian Tian thought that now that she had a stable job, she would definitely live in the provincial capital in the future and would not return to the countryside, so why would she need the three acres of land? Giving the three acres of land to people who really needed it would be more useful than keeping it in Tian Tian's hands.
What about her descendants, who can no longer survive in the overly stressful city and want to return to the countryside?
Tian Tian said that she could no longer take care of the future. At most, she could only take care of the baby in her belly. It was impossible for her to take care of the baby in her belly.
So Tian Tian did not agree and asked Lin Meiyu not to apply for so much land. Lin Meiyu listened and only asked for 12 acres of land.
Although the work in spring and autumn can be a bit tiring, these twelve acres of land are just enough for them to handle.
But Lin Meixia didn't think the same as Lin Meiyu. Lin Meixia's family hadn't split up yet. There were a lot of people in the family. In addition to supporting her own family, she also had to take care of the two younger brothers and sisters brought by her third daughter-in-law. Although the two children were quite sensible and knew how to help them with work, they were two mouths to feed after all. It wasn't as simple as just feeding them. They needed to eat.
Lin Meixia was always worried that the whole family would not be able to survive. In order to earn more money and avoid any conflicts among her daughters-in-law, she applied for land for everyone in their family, even her newly born grandson.
In the end, a total of more than 30 acres of land were applied for. From then on, Lin Meixia had no free time. In the entire brigade, she wanted the most land. She was the first one in her family to get up and work in the fields, and she was also the last one to go home at night, making her sons so tired that they fell asleep as soon as they got home.
Lin Meixia was also exhausted, and she still had to work when she got home. She looked older to begin with, and now after being so tired for two years, she looked even older.
"I told you that your eldest sister is a fool. She should have divided the money she earned after marriage and put the food together. But she is still doing the same as before. She keeps all the money in the family in her own hands. When my daughter-in-law wants to buy needles and thread, she has to ask her for money. After a long time, she will have to wonder if the money spent by other brothers and sisters is my money."
"Your aunt likes to take care of everything herself. She must be exhausted and still not get any benefits. In the future, don't learn from your aunt!" Old Mrs. Tian looked down on Lin Meixia. Everyone's life was getting better and better, so why was it that only Lin Meixia's family was getting poorer and poorer?
Those four sons are not just for show. When there is no work in the fields, they go out to find some work. There is a lot of work outside now. Even Tian Lisong, who is so old, will do odd jobs outside. Those four young and strong guys stay at home every day.
The mother is confused, and neither are her four sons.
On the contrary, Old Mrs. Tian admired these three daughters-in-law very much. She originally thought that the eldest and the third daughter-in-law were the most aggressive, but she didn't expect that the second daughter-in-law looked silent, but was also very powerful.
Although these three daughters-in-law are a little too fussy, they cannot let others bully them. Otherwise, they will be like Lin Meixia's sons, who are useless. Without these daughters-in-law, they will definitely not be able to live in the future.
After hearing what Old Lady Tian said, Tian Tian didn't say anything. She had only met those sisters-in-law once when she got married, and all she knew was their superficial personalities. As for what they were actually like, Tian Tian didn't understand, didn't know, and didn't comment on it.
"I can only write a recipe for acorn jelly for them. The specific method of making it is still up to them. Maybe I can teach them how to make money step by step!" Tian Tian also saw that Lin Meiyu was also worried about her eldest sister at home. She was worried that she would give face in a momentary impulse and wanted Tian Tian to help Lin Meixia, so their family said the ugly words in advance.
"Yes, they have to rely on themselves to make money. The money we earn now is earned through hard work. It's so easy to make money outside now, it just depends on whether they can hold it down and whether they are willing to save face." Lin Meiyu also said.
They have been married for so many years, each of them has grandchildren, and are in their fifties. They are no longer the young people they used to be. Now for them, their home and their children are the most important, and there is nothing more they can do to help.
"But isn't Sister Wu Juan selling eggs now? Is this business not successful?" Tian Tian suddenly remembered that when she went home before getting married, Wu Juan came to see her and said that many people in the village were selling eggs now, and she also wanted to try this business, but she didn't know how.
Tian Tian didn't know much about this, so she simply made a few suggestions and told Wu Juan that if she needed any books, she could come to her and she would help borrow the books and send them back. She also left her phone number with Wu Juan.
As a result, after Tian Tian came back, Wu Juan only contacted Tian Tian once by phone and borrowed a few books from her. After Tian Tian sent the books back, there was no further news about the matter. Also, because the distance between their team and Wu Juan's team was too far, there was no way to pass on any message.
