He gave Jiang Wenwan a forced smile and chuckled.
"What are you saying? My own daughter-in-law is no different."
I never made her suffer the same hardships I did. Besides, I didn't suffer much when I was a daughter-in-law.
After all, I gave birth to a son!
She gave birth to a daughter. Can a son and a daughter be treated the same?
"How is it different? Great people have said that women can hold up half the sky and advocate gender equality."
How come it's unfair when it comes to you?
You think the great man was wrong, right?
Granny Sun finally figured it out: this brat just loves to label people.
She won't tell her, hmph!
Luckily, I didn't marry a daughter-in-law like that, otherwise I would have been driven crazy by her sooner or later.
"Oh dear, I never said anything like that."
Forget it, I can't be bothered with you guys.
He then said to Jiang Lili:
"Go home early and cook dinner. Xiujuan is coming to our house for dinner today. As her sister-in-law, cook something delicious and don't be stingy."
Jiang Lili, who was still holding Xiaoxue's hand, frowned when she heard what she said.
"Mom, can you watch over Xiaoxue for me? I'll go cook."
If you don't help me watch Xiaoxue, I can't cook many dishes if I carry her on my back.
Can't we leave Xiaoxue inside to play by herself?
"If you insist on carrying it, it wasn't this difficult when I was taking care of your man."
Jiang Wenwan thought that Granny Sun was truly a piece of trash.
"Children this age are naturally curious and active."
If you leave him alone on the kang (heated brick bed), she will fall to the ground.
They'll run around everywhere once they're on the ground. What if they run out of the house?
Aunt Sun, is this the behavior of a capitalist young lady?
Should we buy a few maids to serve you?
Granny Sun dared not respond to her words.
"What capitalist lady? I'm just a genuine peasant."
It's just asking her to cook a meal. So what if she has a child?
All that whining and complaining, I think it's just laziness and a lack of desire to do it.
Jiang Wenwan glared at her and watched her storm off.
Jiang Lili smiled gratefully at her.
"Thank you for speaking up for me, but please don't get angry with her, it's not worth it."
I saw through her true colors a long time ago; she's been like this ever since I had my daughter.
It doesn't matter anymore.
"Come on, let's go to my house to talk about serious business."
Jiang Wenwan was originally heading to Uncle Jiang's house, and she wasn't far from it at the moment.
Not long after we arrived at Uncle Jiang's house, Secretary Kang also came over.
Secretary Kang smiled as soon as he saw Jiang Wenwan.
"Oh, I've got this sorted out for you. 600 yuan for 100 hai mu."
Jiang Wenwan already knew this last night; what she cares about most is how many years it will take.
"How many years will we sign this contract for?"
Secretary Kang shook his head and held up one hand.
Five years, no more than that!
The contract will be renewed in 5 years, and the price will definitely be different then.
Jiang Wenwan thought that five years was fine, at least she could earn money for five years first, and then they could talk about it again after that.
"Okay, five years is fine. Shall we sign the contract now?"
Secretary Kang immediately took out the contract from his black briefcase and showed it to them.
"Take a look, this is the draft contract for the sea area. Please read it carefully, line by line."
Jiang Wenwan and Sister-in-law Song took the contract and looked at it carefully.
Even Jiang Lili was looking at the contract carefully, as was Aunt Jiang.
Secretary Kang was curious when he saw so many of them looking at the contract.
"How many of you are taking on this contract?"
"The four of them together make up 200 mu."
I have 100 mu, Sister-in-law Song has 50 mu, and my cousin and my aunt together have 50 mu.
Secretary Kang nodded knowingly.
"Oh, 25 per person?"
Jiang Lili smiled.
"I'm 30, and my mom is 20."
Jiang Wenwan suddenly thought of a question and whispered a few words in Jiang Lili's ear.
Jiang Lili immediately changed her tune.
"Oh, I don't contract it. My mom contracts 50 hai mu by herself."
Jiang Wenwan reminded her that if she earns money now, it will be marital property.
Sun Jiaxing will also get half of it.
Why not let her mother contract 50 acres of sea area first, and then the mother and daughter can sign a private agreement later?
Secretary Kang didn't seem to care what they said; it was just 200 mu of land, so it didn't matter who contracted it.
"Let's start signing the contract now, and I'll stamp it when we get back, and that'll be it."
You can start preparing the seaweed now; it shouldn't have caused too much trouble, right?
Jiang Wenwan and Jiang Lili exchanged a smile.
"No delay, no delay at all, Secretary Kang, you're incredibly fast."
Jiang Wenwan had already signed the contract and pressed her fingerprint on it while she was speaking.
"Let me put the contract back for you."
As she spoke, she put away Aunt Jiang's contract and Sister Song's contract.
Then they helped Secretary Kang put it back into his briefcase.
He casually stuffed the ginseng she had prepared inside as well.
While Secretary Kang was sorting through the contracts, he immediately noticed the ginseng wrapped in red cloth.
"Comrade Jiang, what's going on?"
Jiang Wenwan immediately smiled and said:
"This is a small token of our appreciation; please accept it."
It's nothing special; I dug up several of them when I was a sent-down youth!
Secretary Kang clicked his tongue in amazement.
"This thing of yours is quite valuable!"
Just as Jiang Wenwan was about to speak, a soldier ran over to find her.
"Sister Jiang has your phone number; it's a call from the pharmaceutical factory."
Since I left the prescription last time, the pharmaceutical factory hasn't contacted me again, probably because they've been studying it.
