The banquet ended quickly. Although there was a holiday during the Spring Festival, farmers still had many things to do and couldn't sit at the table all day eating, drinking, and chatting.
After the crowd dispersed, Chen Su asked her family to return to their temporary residence, and Zhou Qingyun asked her why she wanted to adopt Zhou Mingye.
Although the child was indeed very good-looking, if Chen Suwen were someone who liked raising children, they wouldn't have chosen not to have children in their past lives.
They neither gave birth to them nor adopted any.
Why is his wife so fond of raising other people's children after he was reborn?
The previous Zhao Lexin, now it's Zhou Mingye.
Zhou Cunzhi and his siblings didn't have any particular ideas. Chen Suwen had money, and Zhou Qingyun had money too, so it wouldn't be a problem for them to raise another child.
The rest of the Zhou family members all have income, and they each have their own careers. Their salaries are more than enough to support their own lives and raise their children.
So although she was a little puzzled as to why Chen Suwen had taken to adopting children in recent years, she did not object.
The main reason is Chen Suwen's authority in the family. No one dares to think about what she would do to them if they firmly opposed their mother's decision.
That is, Zhou Qingyun was able to ask a few more questions, such as why his wife liked raising these young children so much?
Chen Suwen raised an eyebrow. "Didn't I tell you about Lexin before?"
She later told Zhou Qingyun about the "plot" that popped into her mind when she first saw Zhao Lexin.
Zhou Qingyun wouldn't interfere with what kind of child she wanted to raise, but she would still tell him what she could say.
Now, when she sees Zhou Mingye, memories of the past resurface, and there's nothing she won't hide from Zhou Qingyun.
"You mean, Zhou Mingye grew up all by himself and actually became a self-made millionaire?" Zhou Qingyun was very surprised.
Although during the opening up period, people born in the 80s and 90s could make a name for themselves if they were bold enough.
But not everyone can succeed.
While it's true that in those days even a pig could take off if it stood in the right place at the right time, it doesn't mean that everyone could succeed.
To build a successful career, one needs more than just the benefits of the times; one's own abilities must also match the success to maintain it.
Zhou Mingye grew up well despite losing both parents at a young age, being unloved by his grandfather, and disliked by his stepmother.
Later, without any formal education or professional training, he still managed to establish a large company.
This shows that he is truly talented.
According to Chen Suwen, the company founded by Zhou Mingye in that "plot" was not just a small company; before he fell ill, his company already had tens of thousands of employees.
"However, he was able to maintain such a large company not only because of his talent, but also because he later became rich and spent money on himself in a very flamboyant way."
As a child, he was not allowed to attend school because his elders disliked him, and he did not receive any systematic education.
Later, when he grew up and became wealthy, he was very willing to spend money on himself.
He spent a lot of money hiring teachers to teach him how to manage and invest, but he also needs to learn other things.
Zhou Mingye's achievements are truly admirable.
Every decision he made was correct, and donating the company before his death was also a very correct choice.
After all, he was unmarried and had no children. If he passed away without leaving a will, his company might be inherited by his grandfather, uncles, or cousins.
If he donates the company to the country, then his group of "relatives" will not be able to benefit from it.
“If we mentor him, do you think he could achieve even greater things?” Chen Suwen looked intently at Zhou Qingyun.
What if they adopted Zhou Mingye, raised and nurtured him, and then handed him over to the state?
With such talent, wouldn't a child be able to make a name for themselves if they entered the system?
Of course, if Zhou Mingye prefers to go into business and doesn't like working within the system, that's not impossible.
Zhou Qingyun reached out and touched her forehead. "You don't have a fever, do you? Do you think Zhou Pingwen would be willing to let us adopt his grandson without giving us any benefits?"
The meaning of Zhou Pingwen's family is quite clear.
Zhou Mingye can raise them, but he must pay money, which can be considered as "buying out" the relationship of the child.
But Zhou Qingyun knew very well that if Zhou Mingye became successful in the future, Zhou Pingwen's family would definitely come knocking on their door to reap the benefits.
It's not even certain that Zhou Mingye will become successful and be able to run such a large company like in his "previous life".
Even if he had lived in their family for many years, and after he grew up a little and accumulated some savings, Zhou Pingwen's family might come knocking on their door to beg for his money.
At that time, Zhou Mingye himself may not have had much money, but Zhou Qingyun and his family all had jobs.
They might get Zhou Mingye to give them money from their side; such a thing is not impossible.
"Hmph, do you think Zhou Pingwen and his wife, who are like that, can raise this child well?"
“But you’re right, they definitely want something in return, but I, Chen Suwen, am not one to be trifled with.”
Chen Suwen had no intention of paying.
If Zhou Pingwen and the others truly loved Zhou Mingye, then so be it; she wouldn't actually have considered adopting him.
But Zhou Pingwen and his family don't treat Zhou Mingye well, so even if she wants to adopt him, she won't give Zhou Pingwen's family any benefits.
In short, she's not the type to suffer losses easily.
Zhou Qingyun reached out and cupped her face, gently rubbing her cheeks.
When she first transmigrated, the original owner of the body was quite thin and looked rather old, but after two years of recuperation, Chen Suwen has gained a lot of weight.
Of course, she wasn't particularly fat; she had just gained a little weight, and her originally thin cheeks had become fuller.
Because she possesses supernatural abilities, takes medicinal baths for conditioning, and uses various skincare products to maintain her skin, her face feels very nice to the touch.
Zhou Qingyun's rough hands rubbed her face, which annoyed her. She glared at the man in front of her and said, "Let go. Don't you know your hands are rough?"
Although Zhou Qingyun also takes care of his hands, they still need to do a lot of work, so he can't maintain them very well.
Although the calluses on his hands are not as thick or as itchy as before, they are still quite rough.
Touching her face felt rough and uncomfortable.
Zhou Qingyun smiled and bent down slightly to kiss her lips. "Leave the matter of adopting Xiaoye to me."
They're all surnamed Zhou, so it's better if he steps in.
If he were to step in, some members of the Zhou clan would give him face, and they would also feel that since they all share the same surname, it would be better for Zhou Mingye to be adopted by him.
At least after being adopted by him, the child will still have the surname Zhou and will not change it, so it doesn't count as the Zhou family's "bloodline flowing out".
