Chapter 121 Family Meeting

I hope my family will be busy in the afternoon.

Although the Chinese New Year is coming soon, there are still some odd jobs to do before that.

For example, about next year's harvest.

Zhu Suisui knew that the village would definitely be turned into a wholesale orchard in the future, and she was planning to move her family to Sijiu City next year. In fact, the land here could be left abandoned, and the village chief could make the arrangements when the time came.

She thought about it and decided to tell her family before they went out.

Although there has been no definite notification yet, the fact that they will be picked up is real.

then.

Zhu Suisui gathered everyone together again and prepared to hold a family meeting.

Seeing that Zhu Suisui was going to have a meeting, Zhu Lechen thought it was quite novel and was a little amused, "What are you planning to do now?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Zhu Suisui wanted to say it yesterday, but he didn't expect Xu Rongrong's matter to come up, so he didn't get to say it.

Seeing her serious expression, Zhu Lechen really started to have doubts.

In the main room.

An octagonal table can seat six people.

Old lady Zhu sat in the seat of honor, Xu Hui and Zhu Xingguo sat next to the old lady, and then Zhu Lesheng and Zhu Lechen each occupied a seat. In the middle, facing old lady Zhu, was Zhu Suisui.

Such a serious meeting made everyone a little nervous.

Xu Hui looked around, feeling a little impatient, and asked, "How about we wait until Lan Xu comes back?"

It was estimated that he would not be able to return for a while after going to the village chief's house, so the person must have something to talk to him about. Such dinners usually lasted for a long time.

Zhu Suisui shook his head. "No, he and I are one. It's enough for me to be the representative."

Anyway, she has already informed Lu Lanxu and even Old Master Lu about this matter.

From what Zhu Suisui said, it was clear that he had already discussed this with Lu Lanxu.

What do the young couple want to discuss?

I wish that everyone in my family would look at each other, feeling a little confused.

It was the eldest brother who spoke first, "Little sister, just say whatever you want to say, don't keep us in suspense."

Zhu Suisui smiled.

"Mom and Dad, what are your plans for the future?"

Intend?

This question really stunned the couple.

Xu Hui looked at Zhu Xingguo.

He is the head of the family, so naturally he should speak.

Zhu Xingguo is a quiet and honest man. Unlike Zhu Lesheng whose honesty is actually a bit bad, Zhu's father is truly honest.

Being nice to others is all about being thoughtful.

Old lady Zhu was a strong person. Although her husband was gone, she was still able to support the family with Zhu Xingguo's posthumous baby in her belly. She also raised her son to be kind and reliable. She was definitely not as smart as Old lady Zhu, and Xu Hui, whom she married, was also an honest person. The two honest people lived together, and their life was down-to-earth.

Zhu Xingguo didn't have any grand plans. He thought for a while and said, "Dad just wants the land we were given to have a better harvest next year. If I can give it to your two brothers and they can find good girls to start their own families, your mother and I will be satisfied."

Zhu Suisui nodded.

In fact, she knew what her parents were thinking.

Having lived in the village all his life, he was not very sensitive to the outside world and had only one acre and three mu of land in front of him.

But this does not mean that my parents don't want to get rich. Don't they envy others when they see them making money?

As long as you are human, you have desires.

This is a very normal thing.

Zhu Suisui then asked, "Mom and Dad, do you know what the outside world is like now?"

Both shook their heads.

They seldom go out. Before the Chinese New Year, they might go to the town to buy some New Year goods. At other times, the farthest place they go is the grain station.

Zhu Suisui asked again: "Do you know who has gone out from our village or other villages?"

Xu Hui knows this.

She said, "Several families from the neighboring village have left. I heard that one family started a self-employed business outside. It was inconvenient to go to the county town from the village, so they simply rented a house outside and even gave their land to their brothers to farm."

Speaking of this.

Zhu Xingguo shook his head and said, "What good land, but you don't farm it yourself and give it to your brothers. If you want to farm it again in the future, they won't be happy. How can you explain it? You don't know that they have to pay the land overdue fee every year. They don't care at all. It's money!"

"That's fine. If the policy from above doesn't allow it, these self-employed people will all be arrested and jailed or shot for speculation. They are really brave."

Before Zhu Suisui could say anything, Zhu Lechen couldn't help but said, "Dad, don't be so old-fashioned. Nowadays, those who are capable are all running outside. Who is still in the countryside? Do you think it was the past ten years? Now everyone is doing business. Those who are brave enough have become millionaires, and those who starve to death are the ones with little courage."

Zhu Xingguo glared at him and said, "Am I timid? Don't you know that back then..."

"Dad! Stop talking about the same old things. Then was then, now is now. Isn't money important? When those people got rich, didn't you see that everyone in the village was jealous? If they had some connections, they all went to ask for experience from others in private. We are nothing like us. We don't even have a decent meal on weekdays..." Zhu Lechen actually wanted to go out a long time ago, but he couldn't leave his family, so he could only farm at home.

But every time he heard about someone's family getting rich or a county having a millionaire, Zhu Lechen couldn't help but be excited.

It was really because I was too poor in the past.

Old Lady Zhu frowned and said, "Second Brother, don't talk nonsense in front of Sui Sui."

Life at home was naturally hard. Although they were now cultivating the land, there were five people in their family, including three able-bodied laborers. After paying the land arrears and state grain, they only had a portion of the crops to sell for money, apart from what they needed to eat throughout the year.

There was not much money, and the two brothers had to get married, so the wives' capital had to be saved. Naturally, life was not easy throughout the year.

But Mrs. Zhu didn't want Zhu Suisui to know these things.

Isn't that embarrassing?

We can't let Zhu Suisui use the Lu family's money to help her mother's family.

In this case, can Zhu Suisui still hold her head up and live her life in the Lu family?

Hearing the old lady's voice, Zhu Lechen immediately fell silent. He also knew that he had said too much.

Zhu Suisui frowned slightly. He originally thought that his family could still live a well-fed life, but now after hearing what his second brother said, he was afraid that life was much more difficult than he had imagined.

Mrs. Zhu's attitude further proved the attitude of the Zhu family, who were unwilling to let her know these things.

I am so unfilial. My parents' family became like this in my previous life, but she never noticed it. Now when I think about it, I feel even more uncomfortable and guilty.

Zhu Suisui's eyes became more determined, he looked at the Zhu family and said.

"Grandma, Mom, Dad, Big Brother and Second Brother, you have always protected me, spoiled me, and allowed me to not have to worry about anything. Now that I have grown up and have become capable, if you still consider me a member of your family, then come with me to the Forbidden City."
