The four of them felt that if one could grasp their own destiny, the difference would be like heaven and earth.
When Zhao Di was born, she was timid and bullied at home. After a few years, she grew up, received a dowry, and got married. After that, her family had nothing to do with her suffering or hardship. If she became rich, her parents and brothers would cling to her like leeches in a paddy field, and she couldn't get rid of them until they were full of blood.
As summer deepened, the young girl's eyes became bright and her back straight. Her future husband's family would surely be carefully chosen, and since her family was wealthy, the husband's family she could choose from would naturally be of higher quality. Most importantly, she would be valued by her parents!
Now, Fan Jin and Shui Qing are her parents, and this is her maternal home. A married woman's status in her husband's family depends on two things: whether she can stand on her own two feet, and whether her maternal family is powerful and values her.
Wanxia is a child with good fortune.
What Old Master Wang was thinking was that, although they were all second uncles and second aunts, Fan Dazhu and his three brothers were still boys. If they had this good fortune, their future would be limitless. It was a pity that the other four didn't seize the opportunity.
The old village chief was also thinking about Fan Dazhu and the other three, but he didn't feel sorry for them at all. Not to mention that Fan Jin and Shui Qing looked down on them, even he, a man with half his body buried in the yellow earth who had become indifferent to everything, would look down on them.
However, he still admired Fan Jin. He also looked down on him, but Fan Jin was an outsider. Fan Jin was his uncle. Some men would help their relatives regardless of their character or whether they were cunning or deceitful. There are many examples of men who would help their nephews by emptying their own pockets.
Although Shuiqing didn't take care of her husband's nephew, she was extremely devoted to her niece...
As a member of the Fan family, Master Fan felt that Madam Fan was unfair in the division of the family property. He could forgive the unfair division of the fields and forests, but why did his second son not get a single room in the three-room brick house? Not only did he not get a house, but he also did not receive any money or food in return!
Now that Jin's family has made a good living on their own, Fan's mother has asked him several times to come and put pressure on them, but he has refused each time. They avoid him when it comes to dividing the family property and getting benefits, but they come to him when it comes to asking for favors. Doesn't he have any shame? Is he a shameless person?
Old Man Xu hadn't thought about anything since the tea was served.
He was happily eating.
There were even pastries in this tea room! And Shuiqing even gestured for them to eat as much as they wanted.
A bite of pastry and a sip of tea, so delicious!
I must say, Jin's wife really knows how to manage a household; they're living such a good life!
Shui Qing waited until the four of them had taken a few sips of tea to moisten their throats before asking, "Have you elders come together for some business?"
Old Man Xu was happily eating pastries when he looked at the old village chief and gestured for him to speak.
The old village chief explained the matter of buying the donkey, and concluded by saying, "First, let's see if you have a female donkey, and second, let's ask if you're willing to buy one."
Grandpa Wang added, "We're not just trying to take advantage. It mainly depends on whether you're willing to sell. If you don't have enough for your own, that's normal. If you have extra and are willing to sell, you can consider our village first."
Old Man Xu forgot about eating and nodded vigorously.
Plowing fields by hand is incredibly hard and tiring. In the past, it was their parents who did it, and then they themselves. Now it's their children. No matter who it is, they all feel sorry for them.
Having been used to poverty and despair, they were now seeing a glimmer of hope in Fan Jin and Shui Qing, and were unwilling to give up easily. So they shamelessly came to ask and give it a try.
Shui Qing really didn't expect this.
She looked into the four pairs of hopeful eyes and answered affirmatively, "There are indeed males and females. When we bought them, we had the intention of having them breed, so we wouldn't have to go out to buy them. After all, you know that a donkey is worth a lot of money."
