Chapter 270 Tired and Grandson
Chapter 270 Tired and Grandson
After repeated persuasion from Zhao Fengjuan, Zhao Fengmei took her to find several vacant houses in the village. Seeing that there was money to be made, there would naturally be people willing to rent out the houses.
"Fengmei, you know this house my son owns. It was just built when he got married. Now both he and his wife are working outside, so they have nothing to do anyway. So, I'll rent it to you."
"Thank you, auntie, thank you."
As Zhao Fengmei was talking, she looked at Zhao Fengjuan and saw her second sister take out a pure leather wallet from her trouser pocket, immediately put a stack of hundred-yuan bills in it, and took out a hundred yuan and handed it to the old woman.
"I'll have to rent this house until a new one is built. I probably won't be able to live there for more than a year. I'm sorry to bother you."
"That's ridiculous. We live in the same village, so it's only natural that you don't give me money to help."
Although she was polite, the old woman quickly took the hundred yuan.
"Fengmei, when are you going to move in?"
Zhao Fengmei glanced at Zhao Fengjuan and said,
"Tomorrow, we'll move tomorrow."
"Fengmei, let me pack up the things in the house first, and then you can move in the day after tomorrow, okay?"
"That's okay too."
When Zhao Fengmei and Zhao Fengjuan returned home, they started catching and killing chickens. Then Zhao Fengjuan helped to light the fire while Zhao Fengmei used hot water to cook the chickens.
"Sister, do you want to go out and make some money?"
Zhao Fengjuan asked Zhao Fengmei who was working with her head down while adding firewood to the stove.
"Don't farm this land anymore. If you farm it, you'll be the only one doing it. Sooner or later, you'll get sick from working so hard."
"well!"
Zhao Fengmei looked up at Zhao Fengjuan and sighed heavily.
"I do want to go out and make money, but what can I do? I've only been to school for a few days and can barely read. No one would want to hire someone like me. Besides, I have two children and can't leave."
Zhao Fengjuan seemed to have predicted what her elder sister would say, and she just smiled faintly and said,
"Go to the county town to sell clothes. You can go with my eldest brother-in-law. I believe you can do it. Besides, my eldest brother-in-law may not be good at other things, but he can definitely do this."
"Selling clothes?"
Zhao Fengmei was stunned and didn't understand what Zhao Fengjuan meant.
"Yes, I bought a shop, and you and your brother-in-law can open a clothing store there. Don't worry, there will be someone to guide you from the beginning.
I'll pay for everything, and just give me half of the profits. That way, you'll be helping me, and your own lives won't be too bad."
"Second sister, have you discussed this matter with your brother-in-law?"
Zhao Fengjuan was stunned for a moment, but then she looked at Zhao Fengmei very seriously and said,
"Sister, do you want to hear the truth?"
"Um?"
Zhao Fengmei was stunned, as if she thought of something.
"If you want to talk, I'll listen."
"I think you and your brother-in-law know very well what kind of person Hou Ping is. Even though I'm married into the Hou family and have children, as long as I, Zhao Fengjuan, don't have any money, the Hou family will get tired of me one day and kick me out. I'll still be a pauper."
"No way, second sister, are you overthinking it? After all, you gave birth to the eldest grandson of his family, right?"
"Oh……"
After a light smile, Zhao Fengjuan said,
"Sister, if you put your fate in the hands of others, there will be no good results. Hou Ping has many women outside, and he recently bought a house in the county town for a woman.
Heh... Sister, I can give birth to children, and so can other women. So, while I am still in the Hou family and still have some ability, I must earn my own money. Do you understand what I mean, sister? "
Zhao Fengmei was not a fool, so she naturally understood her sister's difficulties and nodded quickly.
"Okay, I'm stupid, but I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you say. And if we make money, I don't want half of your money. Just give me and your brother-in-law some wages."
Seeing Zhao Fengmei nodded, Zhao Fengjuan hurriedly added the firewood in her hand to the stove and said,
"Sister, thank you, thank you. My brother-in-law can definitely sell clothes or something, but sister, you have to follow him. The money must be in your hands. You have to go and do all the stocking. Don't let him go.
Don't worry, I will have someone take you there, and you'll be fine once you're familiar with the route.
"Sister, I know you and your brother-in-law have a good relationship, but after all, you are strangers without blood ties. Money is only money when you hold it in your own hands. What do you think, sister?"
"Second sister, don't worry, this money is yours. I understand what you mean and will never let your brother-in-law touch it."
"Um,"
Just as Zhao Fengjuan nodded and was about to stand up, Zhao Fengmei raised her eyebrows as if she had thought of something.
"Fengjuan, if my brother-in-law and I both move to the county town, what will happen to my two children? We just rented a house from someone else, and you gave them all the money, didn't you?"
"I've thought of this for you. Let your father-in-law and mother-in-law take care of the child for you and move him to the new house you rented. Give them ten dollars a month, and I'll pay for it."
"No, no, no, you don't have to pay. The old man and the old woman have no place to live now. If they can help me take care of the children and have a place to live, and I provide them with food and drink, they will definitely be very satisfied."
"In addition to the food and drink you provide, ten dollars is my pocket money for the old couple. Okay, it's settled."
Standing up, Zhao Fengjuan still reminded him,
"Sister, you must not tell my brother-in-law what I said to you. It's not that I don't trust him, I'm just afraid that he will cause trouble. After all, the Hou family has many friends. If I accidentally tell others, I will really be punished by the Hou family."
"Don't worry, I won't tell your brother-in-law."
Zhao Fengjuan sat on the small wooden stool in the stove pit again, licking the firewood inside and said,
"Sister, this is just the beginning. You and my brother-in-law will go there first. Once we have a firm foothold, we will have more plans and we will implement them slowly."
Zhao Fengmei took the cleaned chicken out of the steaming water and looked at the sister in front of her. She suddenly felt a sense of strangeness.
It was a very strange feeling. It was clearly that familiar face, but why did it look like it was someone else?
The chicken was stewed, but the rice was not cooked yet. Only then did they hear the voices of Zhao Dan and Xiao Zheng walking in and talking outside.
"Brother-in-law, you're pulling so much firewood by yourself, that's pretty impressive!"
"It's okay, it's okay. Thank you, Master Zheng. Please stop here for me..."
Hearing that her man had returned, Zhao Fengmei stood up and was about to go outside, but was pulled back by Zhao Fengjuan.
"Sister, the meal is ready. I'll set the table and you can start the pot."
"oh!"
Zhao Fengmei looked at her sister and knew that she was unhappy with her reaction. She smiled awkwardly, quickly retracted her foot, turned around and lifted the two large pot lids, and a stream of hot air rushed towards her face.
"Oh, it smells so good! As soon as I smell it, I know that this meal must have been made by you, my sister-in-law, ha!"
Although Zhao Dan was as tired as a grandson, he started to please his sister-in-law as soon as he entered the house.
"I'm back, brother-in-law."
