Chapter 241: Adapting to the Times

"Ask about me?"

Zhu Suisui was a little surprised.

Mother Liu nodded. She also felt very depressed. If she wanted to ask Zhu Suisui, she was here. Why bother asking You Rong to answer the phone?

At this moment, Mrs. Liu didn't know that You Rong was still secretly answering the phone. No one else knew either, and they thought it was the milkman calling.

Zhu Suisui felt that there was something wrong.

The only phone that rang in the house was the one for the milkman that Lu Chengzhi mentioned, but she could guarantee that she didn't know any milkman. If she did, she wouldn't have to ask Mr. Lu for his phone number.

It’s a pity that Mrs. Liu didn’t hear it clearly.

You Rong spoke in a very low voice, as if she was deliberately lowering it, and she hung up after just a few words.

She only heard the word Zhu Suisui, so she guessed that the other party knew Zhu Suisui.

But if there is anything I have to ask You Rong, why can't I ask Zhu Suisui directly?

Mother Liu couldn't understand this.

Zhu Suisui couldn't figure it out either.

She temporarily suppressed her doubts and said, "I understand. If You Rong receives any more calls later, please keep an eye on her for me, Aunt Liu."

Unfortunately, the phone at home does not have caller ID.

Otherwise she would have found out by checking.

Mother Liu nodded.

There were too many people here at this time, and Zhu Suisui couldn't keep talking to Mother Liu here, so she went back to the front hall.

So far, the reunion has been peaceful.

Zhu Suisui would be very satisfied if he could finish a meal in peace.

However, when Zhu Suisui arrived at the front hall, someone happened to ask about the Zhu family's future plans.

Xu Hui was surrounded by people, and she said honestly, "...I plan to start a small business, selling breakfast or something."

Someone exclaimed in surprise, "What?!"

It would be fine if Lu's relatives went out to do small business, but they are the hardest working and most embarrassing stall vendors?

This made the atmosphere at the scene freeze for a moment.

The person who asked the question with good intentions now wanted to slap himself in the face.

Why are you asking this if there is nothing to do?

But she didn't expect Xu Hui to be so honest.

This could obviously be dealt with casually, but she just said it out loud. She really is from the country and has no brains at all.

In fact, if the Zhu family were not relatives of the Lu family, they would not care what the Zhu family did. Even if they went to sweep the garbage, no one would care. But they happened to be relatives of their family. If someone knew about it, who knows how they would be laughed at behind their backs.

The status of self-employed people today is still very humble and they belong to the lower class. Unless one has no connections at home, who would be willing to be a self-employed person?

When Lu Taiping quit his job to go into business, the entire Lu family was against it.

They all feel it is too embarrassing.

Lu Taiping didn't care about all this. He just patted his butt, took the money from home and ran away.

It's okay if it's not in Beijing. Once we make money and attract talented people, the Lu family will be able to refute our claims.

But what does Zhu family mean?

Coming to Beijing to do business, is it really without any consideration for the Lu family?

People who don’t know might think that the Lu family treated the Zhu family so harshly that they actually let their own in-laws run street vendors.

This damages the Lu family's reputation.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little strange, Xu Hui realized it later and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. Could it be that she had said something wrong?

Xu Hui wanted to explain, but when she got to her lips she didn't know how to say it.

Because she had no idea where she went wrong.

Someone looked at Jiao Shanyun and said with a smile: "It's hard work as a small vendor. My mother-in-law is related to our Lu family. Shanyun, as Lan Xu's mother, you have to help me."

It was my aunt who was speaking.

It is impossible for her to say that she had no selfish motives at all when she said this.

According to the generation structure, the eldest wife should have been the head of the family, but my aunt's wife gave birth to two daughters with average talents, and then she had a son who is only fifteen years old now.

At present, none of the three children have shown any particularly outstanding potential. In addition, the eldest uncle’s position has not been promoted for many years. Although he works in an important government office, his position is neither high nor low. His age is also there. At most, he can wait for a promotion before retirement, and it is very likely that he will not be promoted and can only retire peacefully in this position.

The third room's whole family is very capable, except for Lu Qingying who has no ambition.

Everyone in the Sanfang family is talented and capable, and they have become the backbone of the Lu family.

It's impossible to say that the eldest wife doesn't feel a bit sad when she is being suppressed like this.

However, the eldest aunt Tang Xinyue did not speak at this time to target the Zhu family, but she thought that Jiao Shanyun did not handle the matter well and wanted to find fault with Jiao Shanyun.

Isn't she very good at handling things perfectly?

How come he has lost all sympathy when it comes to his own in-laws? Doesn't he still look down on the Zhu family?

Tang Xinyue thought that Jiao Shanyun had gotten this marriage and gained face in front of Mr. Lu, but she did not care about the benefactor of the Lu family. As the eldest sister-in-law, she had to speak out about this way of handling things.

Just this thing.

You really can’t blame Jiao Shanyun.

She had no idea what was going on.

She didn't even know that Zhu's family was coming.

Now that Tang Xinyue had said that for no reason, Jiao Shanyun just felt her face burning.

She was just thinking about how to start.

Zhu Suisui walked over quickly, placed his hand affectionately on Jiao Shanyun's shoulder, and then smiled at Tang Xinyue.

"Aunt, you really blamed mother wrongly. Ever since mother knew that my parents were coming, she has been worrying about this matter. She originally wanted to arrange a job for my second brother, but my grandmother is the one who makes the decisions in my family. When my grandfather died, my grandmother didn't even think about how to explain it, so she didn't bother mother. She said that the Lu family is now in its heyday, and any small mistake may be held accountable. As relatives, we must be more careful."

"Now the country is vigorously promoting economic openness, and this year it has introduced policies to encourage everyone to go overseas to do business. We are not responding to the policy, so we want to give it a try. When my mother heard our idea, she said she would use the money to let us open a store. , my grandma rejected my mother’s kindness, saying that it was not shameful to eat with her own hands, so my mother had no choice but to agree.”

At this point, Zhu Suisui paused before continuing, "We originally thought that this was just a small matter, just following the trend of the times. The country needs construction, which means economic development. The production of a business is convenient and beneficial to the people, and can solve some people's problems of difficulty in eating, staying, and repairing. This is the current trend. Although my mother feels sorry for my family working so hard to make a living, she can also understand and foresight the importance of self-employed people. Their future influence cannot be underestimated. That's why she didn't say it, but made my aunt worried. This is all my fault. Aunt, if you want to say something, just say it to me."
