Xia Jinjun was happier when his daughter was praised than when he himself was praised.
"Mom, I think our Zhiliao has a talent for learning medicine. Today in the clinic, she was staring at the silver needles. I saw that she liked them, so I bought her a pair. Look, with just a simple touch, your foot is much better."
Xia Chen lowered her head. She was naturally happy that her daughter got what she wanted, but she was afraid that the old lady would think they were spending money recklessly.
But no matter who this happens to, they will be scolded!
Unexpectedly, not only did Old Lady Xia not scold me, she even smiled and said, "It would be a good thing if I could really learn it. Maybe I could even cure myself."
Xia Zhiliao smiled and nodded.
[Grandma, you are the most open-minded old lady I have ever met. ]
Old Mrs. Xia’s feet no longer hurt, and she was praised by her granddaughter, so she felt much better.
Xia Chen also discovered that although her mother-in-law liked to scold people, she was actually a pretty good person.
"Second brother, what did people say when they saw your wife's embroidery work?" asked Old Mrs. Xia.
Xia Jinjun straightened his back and glanced at his wife, "Mom, you won't believe me even if I tell you."
"Second brother, look, you sold your beautiful thing?" Xia Jinxiu asked curiously.
"Not yet, but the boss is very fond of your sister-in-law. He thought your sister-in-law learned the embroidery from a master in Beijing. This means that your sister-in-law's embroidery is good. I plan to talk to him about cooperation after the sale."
Xia Jinheng's eyes lit up, "Second brother, it's not worth it to cooperate with them. Why don't I sell it myself? It's better not to let outsiders take advantage of it."
Xia Jinjun glanced at his brother, "You?"
"Yes, I'll sell it, and all the proceeds will belong to our family," said Xia Jinheng.
[It’s not impossible for Fourth Uncle to start a business, but you can’t sell my mother’s embroidery! ]
Xia Jinheng glanced at Xia Zhiliao and wanted to ask him why he was not doing well.
Xia Jinjun thought the same. "Old Four, Jinyifang will give us as much as we can sell. Boss Su remembers our kindness in saving his son. Besides, they have connections and customers. When have you ever seen someone selling embroidery on the street? It's inappropriate."
"Mom..." Xia Jinheng looked at his mother.
"Listen to your second brother. What your second brother says makes sense."
"We only have a few acres of land, which is enough for my third brother. I am redundant at home. It's frozen now, and no one is building a new house. I want to do some small business."
Xia Jinheng looked at Xia Jinjun, and then his eyes moved to Xia Zhiliao, "But I don't know what to sell? Zhiliao, what do you think Fourth Uncle should sell?"
"You ask a child, do you know what to sell? She has barely left the village." Old Mrs. Xia glanced at her son in disapproval, "I see you messing around, but now that the family has some money, no one can touch it. It's all kept for Zhiliao's medical treatment."
"Mom, isn't it for Zhiliao's medical treatment that I earn money? If you ask me, the doctors in the county are not good enough. We have to go to the capital. The doctors in the capital are the best."
Xia Jinheng pulled Xia Zhiliao's hand and teased her.
"You have good intentions, but the times are bad now. People have trouble getting enough food, so business is not that easy to do." Old Mrs. Xia sighed. She didn't want her son to struggle so much. She just wanted him to stay at home and farm and do some hard labor.
[If there is nothing to eat, then sell food. There is nothing good to eat in this town. Anyway, it won’t be wasted if the food cannot be sold. ]
Xia Zhiliao tried really hard to recall, but she really couldn't remember how the fourth uncle in the original book made his fortune. Although his business was very big, it was a pity that he later made money from the national crisis and drove up prices. He was caught by the heroine and made an example of her.
Xia Jinheng was very good at taking advantage of his niece's unusual ability. He said with a smile, "Mom, I think we should sell some food. Even if we can't sell it, our family can still eat it."
Mrs. Xia didn't agree at first, but she couldn't help but believe her granddaughter's words, "What kind of food are you going to sell? Doing business is not just a matter of talking."
"Of course I know that. Let me think about it. So you agree?"
Everyone in the Xia family could hear Xia Zhiliao's thoughts, so naturally no one objected, except for the fifth son, Xia Jinqing. He didn't object either. He didn't care about these things at all.
He didn't say anything and just stared at Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhiliao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. What happened to his fifth uncle?
Why are you looking at me like that?
"Fifth brother, what are you looking at?" Xia Jinxiu also noticed his abnormality.
Xia Jinqing shook her head and looked at her family members who didn't seem to be surprised. She felt that something was wrong with her, but she didn't want them to know. "No... nothing. If mom is fine, I'll go back to my room first. I didn't sleep well last night."
Although Xia Jinjun is the second child, he is now the oldest among the brothers. "You should read less idle books and go out more often. You are crazy."
Xia Jinqing nodded and murmured, "Yeah, I also think I'm going crazy."
Otherwise, how could he hear his little niece who couldn't speak all the time, and her voice was so nice.
"Where are those bad boys? Did they run out to cause trouble again?" Xia Jinjun saw that his mother was in better condition and realized that his three sons were not at home.
"I'm back, Dad. Something bad has happened."
Xia Jinjun heard the voice of his third son in the yard and said in a deep voice, "Something serious has happened. Is your grandmother's foot injured?"
"Ah? Grandma is injured? I'm not talking about that. It's about Auntie... She's almost at the door."
When Old Lady Xia heard this, her face turned green with anger. "That's what I was wondering. How could her foot be injured for no reason? It turns out that this unlucky star has returned. She is the one who brings bad luck to me. She is already married, so why is she back?"
The more Old Lady Xia thought about it, the angrier she became. If it weren't for her children and grandchildren, how could she tolerate that bitch having an affair and then let her go?
"Mom, mom, I'm back to see you. I heard from Aunt Taohua that you hurt your foot. Ouch, why are you so careless? It's okay. I'm back to take care of you, right?"
"Hmph!" Old Mrs. Xia snorted coldly.
[Serving? I'm afraid it's not that simple. Maybe he got beaten and ran back home to hide.]
Old Mrs. Xia frowned, and the rest of the Xia family also looked unhappy.
Xia Jinxiu even blocked the door, "Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"
Zhang's smile froze, and she put on a smile, "Aunt, stop joking with me. Let me see mom. I was so worried. I've only been away from home for a few days, and mom is already injured. I was afraid that others wouldn't take care of her as attentively as I do. Look, what I said really came true."
"I have been with my mother these days. What's the matter? Do you want to say that I didn't serve her well?" Xia Jinxiu asked back with a cold face.
Zhang's original intention was to squeeze Xia Chen, but she didn't want to say the wrong person, "No, that's not what I meant, little aunt, let me in."
"Get out!"
In the room, Old Lady Xia roared!
