Chapter 28: You are losing a lot
"I'm not bragging. I do know how to teach children. At least my children are obedient and sensible. They don't visit prostitutes, gamble or take drugs. They work hard and take care of their family members." Aunt Chen said as she raised her head proudly.
It was getting late and it was time to go back and cook, so Deng Xiuzhen said goodbye to Chen Ma.
Aunt Chen was still not satisfied, but she didn't want to keep her any longer, so she just asked Deng Xiuzhen to come and visit more often.
Walking on the road, Deng Xiuzhen was very hesitant: Should she tell Tian Guoqiang what she had just heard?
Don't tell him that the old man was able to give orders to seize his property and have his children kidnapped. Even if the person was not someone he was familiar with or someone around him, at least he had some connection with him, or was familiar with some of the people who had some connection with him.
Although the child was rescued, the danger still exists.
It has been quiet recently, maybe because the anti-trafficking campaign is in full swing, or maybe because my family is very poor after I was cheated.
So they lay low, or don’t target their own homes for the time being.
However, I was reborn, I know some things that will happen in the future, and I can seize some opportunities to make money.
For example, when Mamu stops making money next year, let Tan Yanlin build houses, or hire someone to build houses. If he does a good job, he can be a developer in the future. Even if he doesn't do a good job, he can still make a lot of money.
For example, when I make money in the next few years, I will buy those dilapidated houses. I know which places will be demolished in the future, and I will buy them. Then I will become a demolition nouveau riche in the future.
You will definitely get rich!
That old man is like a vicious wolf. If I become rich, will that vicious wolf come out to bite people? Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle. I wish I could beat them to death with a stick immediately to prevent future troubles.
But if I tell Tian Guoqiang, what if he goes to interrogate Chen Guohu or investigate again, but fails to catch the old man and his men, will they turn to retaliate against me?
Moreover, it is obvious that Aunt Chen is a core member of the "intelligence station".
Although I don’t know much about this kind of intelligence station in this life, I have seen too much of it on Tik Tok and WeChat in my previous life.
They could spread the news of a chicken dying at one end of the village and turn it into a person being killed at the other end of the village.
Who knows whether what they say is true or not, and whether it can be counted?
After thinking it over, Deng Xiuzhen decided that it would be better not to tell anyone for the time being. She should wait until she had interacted more with people near Chen Guohu's home and learned more before reporting.
Having made the decision, she hurried home to clean and cook.
Just after finishing the meal, I heard the chirping of children. After a while, Tan Yanlin also came back.
Deng Xiuzhen brought the food to the table, placed chopsticks on the table, served everyone food, then turned around and called the children to eat.
Seeing the children chatting happily, she suddenly remembered what Chen's mother said: "Spoiling a child is like killing him. If a child is spoiled too much, it will be of no use at all. Don't think that if you do a lot for your child, you are good to him, and he will become a talent and filial. I tell you, that is raising an ungrateful person!
You see, Guohu was ruined by his father. If Old Chen hadn't spoiled the child so much, would Guohu have been so messed up? The child is very smart. If he is taught well, who knows how great his future will be.
As a result, he was spoiled by Lao Chen and became lawless.
I tell you: you have to let your children develop the habit of doing things, which can not only cultivate their life skills, but also let them know your efforts and hard work. In this way, they will be grateful and will not think that everything you do is justified..."
Deng Xiuzhen recalled her past life: In the first half of her life, she and Qin Yanlin were busy with business. Although they often educated their children, they mostly taught them social experience and common sense of life. As for housework, they were all taken care of by the two of them.
After Tan Yanlin passed away, she was afraid that it would affect her children psychologically, so she tried her best to take care of them.
Could this be the origin of their habit of paying for themselves?
Thinking of this, Deng Xiuzhen made a decision: children cannot be allowed to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others’ labor; they must learn to do things and learn to make contributions.
After dinner, Tan Yanlin was preparing to go out for a run. Deng Xiuzhen did not clean up the dishes as usual, but said to the children: "Wenjing, Wenxin, wash the dishes and clean up the table."
Wen Jing said as if by reflex: "Mom, I still have books to memorize."
Then Wen Xin also said: "Mom, I haven't finished my homework yet."
Before Deng Xiuzhen could say anything, Tan Yanlin came over, cleaned up the dishes and said, "Jingjing, Xinxin, go study. Xiuzhen, you must be tired this morning. If you are tired, take a rest. I'll wash the dishes."
Deng Xiuzhen watched and realized something.
Some things really need someone to remind us. Look, these two kids are obviously avoiding work.
And it seems that Tan Yanlin is too doting on his children.
The children’s problems were actually very prominent, but in their previous lives, their parents were completely unaware of them.
It seems that this matter needs to be corrected!
However, Yanlin probably isn't aware of this problem right now, so I'd better find time to discuss it with him.
The next day, Tan Yanlin went to run the mahjong again, and Deng Xiuzhen went to see the master repairing the roof. As soon as Deng Xiuzhen arrived, Chen Ma rushed out of the house. It was so sudden that Deng Xiuzhen was startled and almost kicked her.
"Xiuzhen, you're here so early. Have you had breakfast?" Before Aunt Chen even stood still, she had already received a warm greeting.
"I have eaten it. How about you?" Deng Xiuzhen replied quickly. She didn't dare to offend such a core member of the intelligence team.
"Is the master not here yet? Have you agreed on the price? How much?"
"Well, the master said it's all his and it's 100 yuan."
"That's expensive, kid, why don't you ask me?" Chen's mother was talking when she saw two craftsmen coming over. She quickly stopped talking and greeted the craftsmen: "Masters, you're here so early. I heard from Xiuzhen that you are nice people and your price is fair. Do you build houses? My son is planning to build a house, and he will hire you when the time comes."
"We are building a house. If you have any problems, just call us. We are here..." The two masters responded enthusiastically.
Deng Xiuzhen didn't say anything, but just silently memorized the addresses the two masters gave her, thinking that if Tan Yanlin changed his career next year and was short of people, she could find these people.
"Xiuzhen, come to my house. I'll boil some hot water for you. The master will be thirsty and need some water later."
"No need, I'll cook it myself..."
"Why are you being so polite, kid?" Aunt Chen pulled Deng Xiuzhen and winked at her.
Deng Xiuzhen didn't want to go over, because she could imagine what Chen Ma would say. But she couldn't refuse, and she wanted to ask Chen Ma more questions, so she had to follow her into Chen Ma's house.
As expected, as soon as we entered, Aunt Chen said, "How could you offer such a high price? Aren't you being treated as a fool?" She stretched her head out and looked outside, then asked, "I forgot to ask you last time, how much did you pay for this house?"
Deng Xiuzhen realized that Chen's mother seemed to care about her, but it was just on the surface. In fact, she wanted to get some information. Regardless of whether she made a profit or a loss, she would say that she had lost money.
In this case, I might as well make her happy. I won't lose anything anyway, so I try to raise the price as high as possible: "Sixteen thousand."
