Zhong Lingshan thought about it and felt that her sister-in-law was right. After the baby in her belly was born, if it was a boy, she would raise it herself. If it was a girl, she would breastfeed her until she was six months old and then send the girl back to be raised by her mother-in-law.
"What my sister-in-law said is true. I'd better take Jiaojiao back with me. If I continue to leave her with my mother-in-law, she probably won't recognize me as her mother."
Zhong Lingshan and He Na had a lot of plans. They both wanted to help their mother-in-law and others take care of the children so that they could go to work and earn money.
Su Yan was not present, but she also understood what the sisters-in-law talked about when they sat down to have meetings. They were just talking about their husbands and children, and how to take advantage of their mother-in-law.
She didn't have the time to chat with them, lest everyone sit down and start talking about this courtyard house.
Even though she is very rich now and does not need this house, Su Yan does not want to give in. Even if her son grows up and moves in, she is not afraid of those sisters-in-law making a big fuss.
This house was the Lu family's ancestral home, and it was agreed to be given to the eldest son and grandson. So it belonged to them. Even if she hadn't given birth to a son, her Lu Ting was the eldest son. When her father-in-law didn't get angry, everyone was fine. But if he did, not only would his younger brothers and sisters-in-law be scared, even his brothers-in-law would be scared.
Su Yan returned to the space, and while Lu Ting was outside looking after the children, she went to take inventory of the warehouse to see what to plant this spring.
Over the years, she has gradually cleared out some medicinal fields, such as lily, platycodon, gastrodia elata, and polygonatum... Now there are only a few medicinal fields left.
Su Yan plans to start cultivating fruit tree seedlings and flower seedlings in the space. When the land is distributed to households, she will go to the countryside to contract the hills and fields, and then transplant the seedlings out of the space.
The heat in the north is not suitable for growing tropical fruits. You can only grow apples, pears, peaches, plums, persimmons, dates, apricots, pomegranates, loquats, cherries...
The cultivated jackfruit, durian, longan, lychee, orange, mangosteen, star fruit, and guava seedlings can only be allowed to grow slowly in the nursery, and then replaced when the yield of the old fruit trees in the space becomes low or they die.
As soon as the reform and opening up began, she secretly went to the commercial streets to buy more than a dozen shops and rented them out. She kept one large shop to open a fruit supermarket, set up an orchid pavilion to sell orchids, and set up two clothing stores and hired people to look after them.
As soon as she had more money, she bought land to build hotels and garment factories. As she made more and more money, she started developing real estate and made a fortune by speculating in stocks and real estate.
When her children grew up, she handed over the business to them and took her parents on trips.
Growing up in such a bad environment, she could only survive while secretly making a lot of money by selling supplies once or twice a year in exchange for some cash and antiques.
When Su Yan had nothing to do, she went to the fields, chopped down all the old vegetables that had bloomed in a basket, and threw them onto the mountain for the livestock to eat.
As soon as she dumped a basket of cabbage and carrots on the ground, two gray rabbits rushed over.
Su Yan had a headache. She killed at least one or two hundred rabbits every year. Adding up the pieces, she now had at least two thousand rabbit skins in her space.
Fortunately, the leathers are not infested with insects. I can sell them to the leather factory and should be able to make a lot of money!
After feeding the livestock, Su Yan went to the fields to cut grass and feed the fish. After feeding the fish, she went to the fruit shed to pick up chicken and duck eggs.
After washing her hands, Su Yan went to the warehouse to get a durian and planned to make herself a durian pancake.
Su Yan was busy in the space, while outside the space Lu Yiwei and Lu Yiman were fighting fiercely. The two were fighting over a piece of chocolate, which belonged to Lu Yiru.
Hua Min walked over holding Lu Yu's son Lu Yihan and said to Lu Jin, "Xiao Jin, Manman and Jiaojiao are fighting. Come over and try to mediate."
Lu Jin threw the poker away, walked up to the two children and quickly pulled them apart.
"What's wrong with you two? Why are you fighting every other day?"
"Dad, she stole my chocolate."
"Where's the chocolate?"
"Sister Zhuzhu's."
Lu Jin opened his mouth to persuade Lu Yiwei, but she snorted coldly, turned around and ran away.
Seeing his daughter was angry, Lu Chen ran over and grabbed her hand, "Have a good talk with Daddy!"
Lu Yiwei lowered her eyes and said nothing. Lu Chen looked at her quietly and said gently, "Jiaojiao, can you go home with your parents in a few days?"
"No, the military compound is my home."
"Jiaojiao, Dad has been busy outside these years, busy making money for your education..."
"Humph, you lied to me. I was raised by my grandparents and didn't spend your money. I'm an orphan..."
"You...how can you say that?" Lu Chen was so angry that he couldn't even finish his words. He didn't expect his daughter to hate them so much.
He has been involved in a research mission these years and has not been able to contact the outside world, so he didn't send anything to the children. Did his wife do the same?
Before he left, he just asked his wife to come home and live with him, and asked his mother to help her. He never thought of letting his wife leave the child alone at home.
Zhong Lingshan doesn't care about the child's feelings at all. Now the child completely disowns them.
Lu Chen squatted down and picked up Lu Yiwei, choking and saying, "I'm sorry, Jiaojiao, Dad didn't know you were alone at your grandparents' house all these years.
You are our first child and your parents’ treasure. Come back with us and I will teach you how to read and write.”
"Dad, am I really your baby? If I want to eat chocolate, will you buy it for me?"
"Yes, I will buy you anything you like to eat. Now I'm taking you to the department store and I'll buy you anything you like."
"Dad, I want a bicycle inner tube."
"What do you want a bicycle inner tube for?"
"I wanted to jump rope with them. Manman made a rubber band jump rope out of rubber band gloves. We didn't have rubber gloves, so we used bicycle inner tubes to make a jump rope."
"Silly boy, if you want to jump rope, Daddy will buy you a pack of rubber bands."
Wrapping wool around an elastic band makes a hair tie. Wouldn't it be a waste to use a pack of elastics as a skipping rope? Will her mother scold her?
Lu Yiwei was very conflicted. She wanted to jump rope, but was afraid of being scolded by her mother. Although her mother rarely visited her, she was still her mother.
"Dad, will Mommy spank me when we go buy rubber bands and chocolate? She spanked me on the face last time and it hurt."
"When did your mother hit you, and why did she hit you?"
"She called me dumb and said I couldn't call people, and that I had lice on my head and was unhygienic."
Lu Chen hugged his eldest daughter tightly, feeling very distressed. Why did his wife beat his daughter behind his back? Now, after the child coaxed her, didn't she still call him dad?
"Jiaojiao, your mother's scolding is wrong. Dad will criticize her. You are a child and should be polite. When you see your elders, you should take the initiative to greet them. Also, children should be united and friendly. Adults are not allowed to do this, do you understand?"
Lu Yiwei nodded and buried her head in Lu Chen's shoulder.
