Chapter 60 A Wise Choice
In fact, Zhang Daniu sincerely felt that they would be more profitable if Zhao Chunhua was in charge.
Although he is not the one who truly holds power, he pays close attention to price changes and the specific operations of various household affairs on a daily basis.
In his opinion, under Zhao Chunhua's management, all matters big and small in the family can be carried out in an orderly manner, well organized and without any chaos.
For an ordinary farmer, there are not many major decisions to make.
Most of the time, Zhao Chunhua was more concerned about how to deal with external interpersonal relationships and ensure that the needs of family life were met.
This is a seemingly ordinary but extremely critical job.
Every month, Zhang Daniu would contribute a fixed amount of household expenses to cover various household expenses.
But of this amount, half of the funds were actually transferred directly to Bai Youcai as support for his family.
Zhao Chunhua never asked about their private affairs, which fully demonstrated her respect and trust as a family member.
However, now that Zhao Chunhua has left, although it seems that Bai Youcai controls the financial power on the surface, in reality the money left each month is definitely less than before.
This is mainly because the family’s financial situation has changed a lot.
In the past, at the end of each month, there would always be a considerable amount of money added to the account book, which was the royalties that Zhao Chunhua earned from copying books with great effort.
This money can not only supplement the household expenses, but sometimes some can be saved for emergencies.
However, now that revenue has disappeared, leaving only empty numbers on the books.
After hearing about Bai Youcai's behavior in the past two days, as a father, I naturally felt very ashamed.
Every time he heard others talking about his daughter, there was always an expression of helplessness and heartache on his face that was hard to conceal.
He had originally hoped that his daughter could live a happy life in her husband's family, but he didn't expect that she would be in this situation now. This made him feel full of regret and self-blame.
When choosing a son-in-law, she considered very carefully and finally chose Zhang Daniuyou, mainly because she valued his knowledge and heard that his family had a good tradition and would not bully his wife.
At that time, he made inquiries from many sources and personally investigated several times, and felt that this young man indeed had good character.
Whether from his words and deeds or from the word-of-mouth reviews from people around him, he was convinced that he had chosen a trustworthy person for his daughter.
More importantly, after learning that the other party had a good family background, he felt at ease handing his daughter over to such a family.

It turns out that my daughter is living a good life after marriage.
Soon after the marriage, not only did her husband successfully pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, he also received a lot of recognition from the government and society; at the same time, her in-laws also divided the property early on.
All this makes their lives more stable, and it seems that everything is moving in a good direction.
As the eldest son, Zhang Daniu naturally obtained the largest share of land and real estate.
According to ancient traditional inheritance law, this is a reasonable result.
Not only that, he also owned a relatively fertile piece of land and several shops in the town. It can be said that he had a very solid material foundation for future wealth accumulation.
Besides, the two elderly people are in good health and can earn money to support the family and help with housework.
My father-in-law is an experienced farmer, and my mother-in-law is a recognized cooking expert in the family.
In their daily lives, the old couple not only help with farming and raising livestock to generate income, but also take on many trivial tasks at home, including small things like cooking and washing clothes.
In this way, the whole family runs exceptionally smoothly and harmoniously.
Even Bai Youcai's mother began to think that the in-laws did a very good job, and as for the fact that her daughter has not yet taken control of the family, she does not think it is a big deal.
After all, only those who truly take on the responsibility of managing a family can deeply understand the difficulty and hardship involved.
In the past, her son-in-law would provide some financial support to her daughter on time every month, and this amount was not required to be used entirely to maintain family expenses, which made life relatively easy.
Sometimes, Zhao Chunhua or Li Boxun would give their mother-in-law some extra help in private, fearing that she would be embarrassed to ask others for help due to financial difficulties.
Unexpectedly, after such considerate care, Bai Youcai ended up messing things up, which made the couple feel very embarrassed and annoyed.
In the past, the two always thought that they just needed to love their children as much as possible, but they never realized that correct guidance and education are the most important.
This time, before Zhang Daniu could say anything more, Bai Youcai's mother took the initiative to propose to go and check in person to see how her daughter was doing.
Even Bai Youcai's mother began to think that her in-laws were doing a good job. At least their daughter was not in charge of the family yet, but she didn't think it was a big deal.
Only those who have truly been in charge of a household understand the difficulties of being a housekeeper.
In her opinion, the money her son-in-law gave her daughter every month was not just a household allowance, but more importantly, it reflected his care and understanding for his wife.
This regularly given money does not necessarily have to be used entirely to cover household expenses, and sometimes there is some money left over that can be used for other expenses.
Occasionally, Zhao Chunhua or Li Boxun would give her a little extra money in private, worried that she would find it difficult to ask for help when she needed money.
They took such thoughtful and considerate care of her, but they didn't expect that such kindness would make Bai Youcai's behavior become chaotic.
This situation also made the couple feel very guilty.
Before this, they always believed that they should spoil their daughters as much as possible, completely unaware that the correct way of education is the key.
After this change in the situation, even before Zhang Daniu could express more concerns or suggestions, Bai Youcai's mother took the initiative to ask to visit her daughter in person.
Since the facts are there - that is, Bai Youcai is determined to take control of the family and this has become a reality - it would be wiser to accept this established outcome rather than arguing about it.
Although the mother-in-law no longer lives with them, it does not mean that they can forget the importance and significance of respecting elders.
Even if it was just for show, Bai Youcai should have shown a certain amount of etiquette and respect in treating his mother's arrival.
In view of this, Bai's mother immediately packed her luggage and planned to stay at her daughter's house for the next few days to observe carefully and provide appropriate guidance and support.
After all, their daughter was not well taught the importance of handling affairs independently during her growth, resulting in her parents worrying about this even after she got married.
