Liang Sanmei frowned slightly. "Do business? What kind of business do you want to do? Is it that food business you mentioned before?"
Shen Yu nodded. "Yes, it's about selling drinks and food. I tried selling drinks and food all day today, and business was pretty good."
She lowered her voice and said to Liang Sanmei, "You can earn about fifty yuan a day, and fifteen hundred yuan a month. You should be able to earn back the three thousand yuan you spent on the car in two months."
The amount of money she earns each day is actually a smaller amount, which Shen Yu deliberately understated to avoid frightening her mother-in-law.
Even so, the amount of fifty yuan earned in a day still shocked Liang Sanmei, who exclaimed in a low voice, "This... so much?"
This income is terrifying!
The villagers from their village who were recruited to work in the Hong Kong-funded factories in the industrial zone usually have to work hard overtime, and they only earn about a hundred yuan a month.
They were overjoyed to receive such a meager salary of just over a hundred yuan.
Back then, the villagers almost got into fights over the spot to work in the factory in the industrial park.
But now, Xiaoyu is telling her that she can earn fifty yuan a day!
That's 1,500 yuan this month!
In just two months, Xiaoyu will be able to earn back the three thousand yuan she spent on the car!
Good heavens! This money is so easy to make!
Liang Sanmei glanced around and found that Shi Zixuan, Shi Zirong, Xiao Kangkang, and Xiao Shushu were still standing nearby.
Those two little brats, Shi Zixuan and Shi Zirong, were eavesdropping on the conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Liang Sanmei's heart tightened.
She was terrified that if the children overheard what she and her mother-in-law were saying, they might accidentally spread it around.
She quickly waved for Shi Zixuan and Shi Zirong to go inside and do their homework.
Shi Zixuan and Shi Zirong were reluctant to leave. "Grandma, it's still early. I'll do my homework later."
Although they are still young, they are eager to hear about Xiaoyu's money-making plan!
But in the end, they were still ruthlessly driven into the room by Liang Sanmei and had no choice but to take out their homework to do.
After Liang Sanmei finished arranging for the two brothers to come out, Shen Yu continued, "Mom, if I want to start a business, then I'll have to trouble you to help take care of Kang Kang and Xiao Shu. I'll also pay you a salary, one hundred yuan a month, okay?"
Facing Shen Yu's ingratiating smile, Liang Sanmei rolled her eyes at her, "I'm taking care of my grandchildren, why would I need your money? If you're busy, then go ahead and do your thing. Just bring Kang Kang and Xiao Shu over to me every day, and I'll definitely help you take care of them!"
When Shen Yu saw that her mother-in-law agreed without the slightest hesitation, she was so moved that she almost burst into tears.
"Mom, thank you! Thank you so much!"
This mother-in-law is so wonderful!
She and her father-in-law were both kind elders who devoted themselves to their children without ever asking for anything in return.
Of course, these younger generations wouldn't take their elders' contributions for granted.
At their advanced age, having worked hard their entire lives, they should be enjoying their golden years.
But now, they have to sacrifice their time and freedom to continue helping their son and daughter-in-law raise their grandchildren.
Those who are sons and daughters-in-law should also be grateful for their parents' contributions and should take good care of them.
When the elderly are willing to dedicate all their energy and effort to this large family, they, the younger generation, should not only strive to make their lives better.
We also need to make the elderly feel that their sacrifices are worthwhile!
After talking to her mother-in-law about these things, Shen Yu felt a little worried about her eldest son being alone at home and wanted to go back as soon as possible.
It will probably take my mother-in-law some time to process what she's saying.
Shen Yu smiled and said to her mother-in-law, "Mom, Chenchen is home alone. I'll take Kang Kang and Xiao Shu back first. If you need anything, just come to my house."
Liang Sanmei nodded. "Okay, then you take the child back first. I'll come find you if anything happens."
"Then we'll be going now. Kang Kang, Xiao Shu, quickly say goodbye to Grandma."
Xiao Kang Kang and Xiao Shu Shu smiled and waved to their grandma, saying in their childish voices, "Grandma, bye-bye~"
Liang Sanmei waved to the children with a loving expression, "Bye-bye~"
She followed her outside and watched Shen Yu lead the two children away into the distance, letting out a soft sigh.
After Xiaoyu woke up from her serious illness, she was like a sword drawn from its sheath, sharp and radiant, exuding a spirit of forging ahead.
I don't know if such a big change in her is good or bad.
The old lady always tends to overthink things, but no matter what, Liang Sanmei intends to do everything she can to help her.
If these elders don't help, it will be too difficult for Xiaoyu, a woman, to raise three children all by herself.
When Shen Yu returned home, she found that her eldest son had already started steaming the rice, and it would be ready soon.
She praised Shi Zichen without reservation, "Chenchen, you're amazing! Now that you've steamed the rice, Mom can start cooking the vegetables."
Praised, Shi Zichen grinned happily, "Mom, I'll continue to cook next time, and you can cook the vegetables."
Shen Yu smiled and replied, "Okay, if we, mother and son, work together, we can eat faster."
Shi Zichen nodded vigorously, "Mmm~"
Shi Zikang also chimed in, "Mom, I want to help you cook too, and I want to learn how to cook. I love meat and vegetables the most."
Shen Yu smiled as she looked at her little foodie, not wanting to discourage his initiative. She replied with a smile, "Okay, then Kang Kang will learn to cook and prepare dishes from his brother or mom from now on. Once you've learned, you can cook for us, okay?"
Shi Zikang nodded vigorously and replied loudly, "Okay!"
Shen Yu patted their heads and said gently, "Chenchen, you do your homework for a while. Kang Kang, you play with your sister. Mom is going to cook."
The two brothers responded in unison, "Okay!"
Shen Yu went to the kitchen, closed the door, and took out a grouper from the storeroom to steam.
She then made another dish of braised pork ribs, which not only allows you to eat the meat but also to use the sauce to mix with rice, making it taste especially delicious.
Finally, make a mildly spicy cucumber salad.
Although there were only three dishes, the family of four ate with great relish because of Shen Yu's excellent cooking skills, and couldn't stop eating.
The second child ate while praising her, "Mom, how come your cooking is so delicious? You're amazing! I admire you so much~~~"
Hearing that drawn-out, childlike voice made Shen Yu feel completely comfortable, and she really wanted to pinch her precious son's handsome little face.
But seeing that her second son was still eating, she held back and didn't reach out.
Once she fattens up these little ones a bit more, they'll definitely be even more adorable.
