So the Zheng couple had nothing to say, and even instructed Liang Guiying to take good care of the child and treat her daughter-in-law well:
“Guiying, Zhou Yue is from the city and is a bit spoiled. You have a quick temper, so you have to put up with it even if you can’t stand it. For Fang Shu’s sake, for Wen Yong and Wen Jie’s sake, you have to be more patient.”
“Okay.” Liang Guiying put down the bowl and chopsticks. “Then I’ll go clean up. I’ll clean up for another day tomorrow, and we’ll go back to the city first thing the day after tomorrow.”
While there was still daylight, Liang Guiying went back to her room to count the money.
She sold her five pigs for a total of 450 yuan. Boss Zhang bought 700 pigs and gave her 15 yuan per pig as a service fee, which amounted to 11,250 yuan. In addition, he gave her a 100 yuan red envelope later. In just four days, Zhang Guiying earned nearly 12,000 yuan!
In her previous life, she had always heard that self-employed individuals could make money, but she had no concrete idea of how much they could make. Now, holding this large sum of money, Liang Guiying truly understood what money was.
In just four days, she became a millionaire!
After her excitement subsided, Liang Guiying divided the money into several portions, took out some old clothes and sewed them in. Finally, she found a dirty snakeskin bag to put the clothes in, and then casually threw it at the foot of the bed. During this time, Zheng Wenqing and his siblings came and went, but no one glanced at the snakeskin bag. They even kicked it a few times because they thought it was in the way.
When she woke up the next morning, the dried chicken droppings in the courtyard were still unswept, the chickens in the coop were clucking from hunger, and everyone in the Zheng family except her was fast asleep.
Liang Guiying smiled, fed the chicken first, and then casually cooked herself a bowl of rice noodles.
There were still seven or eight hundred catties of millet left from last autumn's harvest. Liang Guiying carried two loads to the village office to be milled into rice, and got one hundred catties of rice and seventy catties of bran. She wanted to take both the rice and the bran with her.
Liang Guiying raised more than twenty chickens, and two or three of them were almost ready to be slaughtered.
It wasn't time to break ties with the Zheng family yet, so she kept those few and planned to take the rest to the city.
There were thirty chicks that had just hatched ten days ago. She kept five and took the rest with her. She could raise them for a few months and then kill them. Zhou Xiaonian could keep them as toys to play with.
There were about fifty eggs, and Liang Guiying packed them all away without keeping any for herself.
The vegetables in the garden, which were originally growing lush and green, became wilted after she went to the city for a few days without anyone watering them. Even the pigs wouldn't eat them.
Liang Guiying didn't take any; instead, she went to Zhang Fenglian's house, intending to buy some vegetable seedlings from her.
Knowing that she was going to the city, Zhang Fenglian was happy for her: "You should have gone to the city when your granddaughter was born. You've only gone now. Fang Shu and your daughter-in-law must be complaining about you, right?"
“Zhou Yue is kind-hearted and has never blamed me, but you are right, I should have gone to the city to take care of Niannian a long time ago.”
Just then, the sound of reading came from inside the room. Liang Guiying asked, "Yingzi is reviewing again?"
“Yes, the college entrance exam is coming up soon. Her foundation isn’t as good as others, and she doesn’t have any good study methods, so she can only memorize by rote.” Zhang Fenglian glanced into the room and sighed softly. “We parents don’t know anything and can’t help her with anything. She was able to get into junior high and high school because she’s sensible.”
“Being sensible can save a lot of detours for children, but being too sensible is not a good thing either.” Liang Guiying also glanced into the house. “I’ve been back for several days and I haven’t seen Yingzi come out of the house. She’s cooped up in the house every day. She’s so bored. How can she concentrate on her studies?”
Seeing that Zhang Fenglian didn't understand, Liang Guiying lowered her voice: "When I was in the city, I heard that a couple of years ago there was a student, also a senior in high school, who memorized and did practice questions every day before the college entrance examination, and ended up going crazy the night before the exam."
Zhang Fenglian was frightened and quickly went into the house to pull her daughter Chen Yingzi out.
With that pull, she immediately noticed that something was wrong with Chen Yingzi.
Her hands and feet were too stiff, and her face was somewhat blank, with a vacant look in her eyes!
"Yingzi!" Zhang Fenglian exclaimed in fright, "Yingzi, don't scare me! Quickly answer your mother! Guiying, help! Yingzi is bad!"
