Zhou Jiao glanced at them amusedly. "Actually, skincare products are secondary. The key is that we have a young mindset. It's okay. We still need to eat more fruit."
"I believe this. Look at Aunt Shan, she has a good attitude. She's only a few years older than my mother-in-law, but they look like two generations apart."
"I'm doing it both ways!"
“You’re awesome!”
"I have to take care of it quickly. I have a distant cousin who is abroad. I've been in touch with her recently, haven't I? She came back to visit and gave us sisters some advice."
"Catch the man?"
"Smart! She said it's normal for wealthy men abroad to have women everywhere. Even on the other side of the strait, there are even men with second and third wives. The higher a man's position and the more money he has, the more dangerous he is."
Each of them was beautiful and pampered by men. Zhou Jiao didn't know what they were anxious about. Beauty fades easily, and a man can't be held on to by just looks.
And...
The reason why her mother is young is not just her mentality. Her father is so good, and she is so good. The bird's nest and fish maw that her mother has eaten are almost piled up into a mountain.
However, is this the aftereffect of suddenly finding out that her man has a huge sum of money?
It's really possible!
She is such a sinner.
Look how scared they are!
The men were having a great time over there, and the women gathered together and were no less impressive than them. They were chatting about this and that.
The topic of skin care products started from the men hugging each other, and then began to dig up the gossip of the acquaintances around them. Zhou Jiao couldn't help sighing when she heard some of the rumors.
It was so vivid, as if she had seen it with her own eyes, and she didn't know if it was true or not. She actually wanted to check it out after hearing it.
Ouch, she almost got turned into a ditch!
"...Do you think too many tickets were printed? I couldn't buy any last time I went there, so I went to the Friendship Store again."
Listening to the old women chatting endlessly, Zhang Guoqing and the other three were very curious. They exchanged glances and moved stools to sit next to their wives.
"...Printing more than they need is out of the question, unless someone is tired of living and wants to provoke the central government. This is a matter of national importance, so I don't think they would dare to mess with the production plan."
"Sister Mi, what you said makes perfect sense. I guess the biggest problem is population. Think about it, how many people were in a family right after liberation? How many are there now? All the extra people are just mouths to feed."
"So family planning is imperative. Don't complain behind our backs. This is a well-considered decision from above, and we ordinary people should just follow it.
To put it bluntly, do as much as you can. If you can't afford to raise children, then have fewer. If you do have children, raise them well. It's better not to have children at all than to raise them poorly...hiss...wife, why are you pinching me again?"
"What do you think?" Maggie Cheung pinched her husband's thigh and glanced at Wan Dayong. "Among our families, which one of us raised a child wrong?"
"Hey, we don't have any, but there are quite a few around us, right?" Wan Dayong offered a cup of tea in a fawning manner, "Wife, have some tea. Are you tired?"
This scene made everyone burst into laughter.
Wan Dayong glared at her and scolded her with a smile, "What are you laughing at? You have white teeth! I'm an open and honest person, unlike you guys who hide things and try to please your wives behind their backs."
"Yeah, that's true. Brother Dayong's grape trellis collapsed in the backyard, and that was caused by the strong north wind. His kneecap is bruised, and that's from hitting it somewhere."
"Sister Mi, your man is provoking you!"
"Oh my, sister-in-law, please spare me! My wife's cat claws are more nimble than yours."
"It's over, it's over. Do you want me to borrow your abacus first?"
"Sister Qi, how much do you think you're planning?" Millie waved her fist at her husband, Ding Datou, insisting that they should follow the same path. "I thought everyone was defeated by Brother Dayong."
"My silly sister-in-law, why are you so biased?"
Yi Jiefang said secretly, "Yeah, why do women have to make things difficult for other women?"
"Get lost! Stop adding fuel to the fire." Ding Datou quickly patted his wife's leg. "Wife, good job! I didn't say a word even when you beat me up tonight. I must make my position clear when I'm out there."
"Is this okay?"
Zhang Guoqing played with his wife's hand, watching them bicker with amusement. Exposed, right? Besides the durian, there was also an abacus.
It's really disgusting, a bunch of henpecked people!
After dinner, night fell.
Leaving a mess on the table, the men patted their stomachs and wanted to pick up their wives' coats.
Zhang Guoqing laughed angrily, "We haven't even discussed the serious business yet, and you guys are not just coming here for a quick meal and running off, are you?"
"Ah? There's still business? Haven't we been talking about it all afternoon?"
"What are you talking about? My sister can handle it."
"Anyway, I'm on your side, so you can do whatever you want. Even if I lose everything, that's even better. When I retire, I'll treat you to delicious food and drinks."
"That's a good idea!"
"Of course. Otherwise, why would we have wanted to huddle together when we bought the yard?"
Zhang Guoqing rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Stop talking nonsense and go to the study first."
"Fifth brother, there's really no need. They're not the only ones who think so. We all respect Jiaojiao too. We know our own limits. When it comes to important matters, she's the one who has to handle it!"
"Yes, Jiaojiao has the final say."
Zhou Jiao quickly grabbed them and said, "No matter how much you trust me, I still have to report the accounts to you, right? Come with me. One person can make plans for the shortcomings, two people can make plans for the long term, and three people can make plans for the whole process."
"Oh, didn't you tell me the approximate amount? I get a headache just looking at numbers."
"Don't you know I'm also the worst at math?"
"Good Jiaojiao, you were the top student in all subjects back then, the most talented woman in the eight academies. Could you please stop torturing me? Please, I really don't have enough brains."
"Stop talking nonsense and stop trying to put the blame on me." Zhou Jiao rolled her eyes at them and still had to pull them along.
How many relatives have become enemies because of money?
Since they had a good start, she would rather her brothers settle accounts clearly, making sure that what is is what is not.
In the front yard study, as soon as they were seated, Zhou Jiao distributed the four bills she had sorted out to each of the four couples, "One for each of you, as a souvenir."
Having said that, she did not wait for their reply and decisively continued to talk about the main topic. It was really that they were too capable of going off topic while talking.
She did follow Zhang Guoqing's decision and laid out her next steps. Of course, she couldn't tell anyone what she shouldn't.
For example, as for the market that will be targeted in the future, apart from the fact that it will still be financial investment, she cannot tell them the exact target first. She always has to weigh the unexpected factors first, and all her funds must be put into the market.
For example, could she predict how much profit she could reap in the future? But could she really tell the truth? Not only did she not dare to give a definite answer to them, but even her own father did not dare to give a definite answer to that question.
As for the investment risks, after Zhang Guoqing's previous exaggeration, Zhou Jiao emphasized the issue.
Friendship is friendship, and she also wanted to test the attitudes of Maggie Cheung and the other three.
There is no such thing as a free dinner in this world.
