When these words came out, even the old man next to him couldn't help but look sideways. Everyone knew that Zhou Jingchuan might make a lot of money as a breeder, but they didn't expect it to be so profitable.
What's the difference between earning 4,000 or 5,000 yuan a month and earning 100 yuan a month? Isn't that the difference between a king and a beggar?
Zhou Yunyan's smile was no longer permanent. Although pursuing a career in politics was respectable, he would still choose to be a self-employed person if someone paid him four or five thousand yuan a month.
Gao Huilan was stunned. "How is this possible? Jingchuan, you're just a jokester. You earn four or five thousand a month, and you don't want to let anyone live?"
She felt that Zhou Jingchuan was showing off, speaking so loudly, not afraid of biting his tongue.
Zhou Jingchuan had a forced smile on his face. He didn't want to show off his income in front of his relatives. After all, it was pointless since they were all family.
But since the second family came prepared, he would not be polite.
He couldn't understand why they looked down upon self-employed people. Since the government had liberalized the system, it meant it supported them. Self-employed people boosted the domestic economy, which was a good thing.
"Second Aunt, I never make jokes like this. I've been talking to several clients recently, and I supply more than half of our restaurants, including some markets."
As soon as Zhou Jingchuan finished speaking, everyone believed it a little. After all, he has always been an introverted person and doesn't like to talk usually, but whatever he says must be true.
The old man looked at Zhou Jingchuan with a meaningful look.
"Jingchuan is a kid who does his best at everything he does. Even as a self-employed person, he is a leader. This deserves praise."
Zhou Yunyan listened to the old man's words, his back teeth almost breaking. How could a pig farmer be so valued by the old man? He couldn't understand why.
Zhou Jingchuan nodded calmly, "I love what I do. Since I've chosen this, I must do my best. Don't worry, old man, I will never embarrass you."
Mr. Zhou couldn't help laughing.
Gao Huilan felt sick upon seeing this. She felt like a clown. He even looked down on the self-employed. To be frank, their family earned less in a year than others did in a month. No wonder Zhou Jingchuan was so lavish with his money.
"By the way, Dad, Jingchuan installed a water heater for us a while ago. It's been very convenient for us to use recently, and there are no safety hazards. I'll ask him to install one for you later. It will be convenient for you to take a shower and do other things in the future."
The old man is usually quite frugal and is reluctant to turn on the fan at home. It was also the family's decision to have dinner at the big restaurant this time.
I feel that for someone of the old man’s status, his birthday celebration shouldn’t be too shabby.
"Okay, that's good."
Gao Huilan and others watching this scene found it extremely annoying. Installing a water heater costs a lot of money. Sometimes not only does it have to be installed but the house also has to be modified, otherwise the water will not flow out.
All these messes add up to money. They either go to a bathhouse to take a bath, or just scrub themselves in a basin at home.
Zheng Xinyue glanced at Zheng Wangshu, and felt very sad when she thought about how she could take a bath every day in such hot weather.
Who would have thought that raising pigs could be so profitable? Zheng Xinyue still remains skeptical.
If raising pigs is so profitable, she would also like to do it. Why bother going to school? Even if she gets into university and gets a stable job, she won't make much money a month.
But soon, something happened that made them even more crazy.
Li Ruhui sat up straight and suddenly said, "By the way, Mom and Dad, I still have two happy events that I haven't told you yet."
As soon as she said this, everyone's attention was focused on the second wife again.
The old lady also smiled, "Really? If there is any good news, tell me quickly so that your father and I can be happy."
Li Ruhui glanced at Zheng Wangshu, her eyes full of the love a mother-in-law has for her daughter-in-law, which made Zheng Xinyue even more unable to understand.
Everyone says that Li Ruhui is difficult to get along with and will definitely be a wicked mother-in-law in the future, but why is she so nice to Zheng Wangshu now?
"It's about Wangshu. She's been hired by a newspaper as a translator, earning seven yuan for every thousand words. Not only is Wangshu taking care of the kids at home, she also works part-time at the newspaper every day. She's incredibly capable."
This was obviously something they hadn't expected. Zheng Wangshu being a translator? That was sheer nonsense. He wasn't afraid of making others laugh when he said that.
Everyone knows that Zheng Wangshu didn’t even take the college entrance examination. She just washed clothes and cooked at home every day in the first two years. How could she translate?
Gao Huilan was the first to lose her patience and couldn't help but interrupt.
"Sister-in-law, please stop teasing everyone. Wangshu doesn't even read books, so how can she be a translator? You're a piece of cake as a translator, anyone can do it."
After saying this, he laughed to himself, obviously not believing it at all.
But Zhou Yunyan's expression changed. That day, when they went to buy gifts, they saw Zheng Wangshu appear in front of the newspaper office. At that time, Zheng Xinyue insisted that he was dazzled, but now it seems that the man was really Zheng Wangshu.
He felt a chill in his heart. How could this be possible? How could Zheng Wangshu be able to translate? Would he need to know a foreign language? He and Zheng Wangshu had been married for two years, and he had no idea Zheng Wangshu could do this.
Li Ruhui raised her eyebrows and looked at her sister-in-law coldly.
"Translators are really a common job in Wangshu. There were quite a few applicants, but she was the only one who got hired."
Gao Huilan still didn't believe it. "Okay, stop joking. It's not funny in this situation. She used to be our daughter-in-law. How could she be so capable? As her mother-in-law, shouldn't I know?"
This matter itself was very embarrassing. Everyone adhered to the principle of seeing but not speaking out. Unexpectedly, Gao Huilan tore through the paper in front of everyone. It was really not decent.
Sure enough, when these words came out, Mr. Zhou's face became a little gloomy, but it was not easy to say anything in this situation, after all, there were so many guests.
"You didn't know before, it was because you didn't provide Wangshu with the conditions. She washed clothes and cooked for you every day, so how could she have the time to look for a job? Now it's different in our family. These chores can be put off for later."
At this moment, it happened to be a coincidence that one of the guests who came today was a leader of the newspaper. He had also seen Zheng Wangshu at work. He felt that he looked familiar, but thought he had mistaken him.
Now, hearing the Zhou family arguing about this matter, he quickly stood up.
"Excuse me, I'm sorry to interrupt you. I've indeed met this young comrade in our newspaper office. He should be working there."
Gao Huilan's face looked very unhappy and she couldn't help but look over.
"Who are you?"
"I'm the editor-in-chief of the newspaper. It's my great honor to be here at the old man's birthday party today."
