Andelai didn't want to take advantage of them. He looked at the arrangements and said, "How about this. Your chickens can lay eggs now, so you can sell them to the village at the price of the meat station. As for the pigs, they are still too young, so they will be kept in the village for the time being. When we sell the pigs during the Chinese New Year, we will weigh them and give you the price you deserve. As for the vegetables, your mother-in-law is Ergou's biological mother after all. It would be ugly if she didn't say anything. In my opinion, you might as well take this opportunity to let your mother-in-law take care of the vegetable garden. It can also help Ergou to ease his relationship with his family. What do you think?"
Filial piety is the most important virtue. Even though Ergouzi's mother is not a good person, no one thinks that Ergouzi should be unfilial.
Especially for those of them who are no longer young, they would also worry that their children would follow their example and become unfilial.
However, everyone can see what is right and what is wrong. Some of the words are just suggestions, and they are not required to follow them.
"Then listen to uncle." Zhao Xiaoyue's own experience made her have a big character flaw. She was indecisive and had no opinion. Fortunately, she was obedient, especially after getting married, she listened to Ergouzi. "Uncle, it's about my mother-in-law. When Ergou left, he said that my eldest sister-in-law is not easy to get along with. He was not at home, so I should hide when I see them and not come to their house easily."
Ergouzi also told her that if anyone from that side dared to cause trouble, no matter what the matter was, she could just push it onto him, because not a penny from the family could be given to them.
She herself knew that no matter whether it was an argument or a fight, her small body was not strong enough, so she usually stayed at home and did not go out, and she did not want to cause trouble.
Andelai also knew that what Zhao Xiaoyue said made sense, so he said, "Er Gouzi's worry is not without reason. Since he said so, then you should do as he says. Okay, I have brought the message, and I have replied. You can arrange your family affairs and come to me to get a letter of introduction."
"Well, thank you very much, uncle." Zhao Xiaoyue nodded politely.
Andelai waved his hand and said nothing more.
When he returned home, he couldn't help but talk about this matter with his wife Miao Hong.
Miao Hong thought much more than he did. When she heard that Ergouzi could stay in the city to work, she was immediately moved.
Looking at the man who was still washing his feet, Miao Hong nudged him with her elbow and said, "Dad, our Mai Xiang is still idle at home. We raised her to be a high school student with great difficulty. You won't want her to follow us to work in the fields in the future, right?"
"What do you want to say?" Andelai had thought about it, but after thinking about it, he just didn't have the nerve to bring it up.
"What do you mean? Ergouzi can work in the city, and our Maixiang is still a high school student. Why don't we ask Hongdou to help find a job in the city?" Miao Hong said unhappily.
"What about Jiangcheng? It's so far away, are you willing to leave?" Ande asked her, "It's thousands of miles away, and it takes two days and two nights to take a train. If our daughter works in Jiangcheng, she may only come back once every three to five years. Don't cry when that happens."
"I... why am I crying? As long as my daughter is well, I can do anything!" Although she said this, Miao Hong was not as confident as she was at the beginning. "I can't just watch my child stay at home like that. I asked the eldest and second sons to help find jobs in town, but there's no one I can rely on. She's already been staying at home for a year. If she doesn't have a job and doesn't work, those old ladies in the village will spread the child's reputation!"
How did An Hongdou gain the reputation of being the village bully?
Although there was an element of family pampering, there was also a bunch of gossipy old women who spread the story, and after it was passed around, it became true.
Miao Hong didn't want her daughter to have such a bad reputation. It would be difficult for her to find a husband in the future. Besides, she couldn't find the next Chen Xiangzhi to cover the gap.
The couple discussed this matter for a long time, and in the end, it was An Maixiang who made the decision herself.
She didn't say that she would definitely work in Jiangcheng, she just said that she wanted to go there first to see the situation there, and at the same time, she also wanted to hide at home.
She was only a few months younger than An Hongdou, which was the right age for marriage in the countryside.
Her mother is currently taking care of this matter, and her elder and second brothers are also involved. In just six months, she has been on several blind dates, and each time she messed it up herself.
She didn't want to get married and wanted to continue her studies, but unfortunately the current situation didn't allow that. She could only think about finding a job first, but she couldn't find a suitable one.
The same thing happened in the An family.
The family had been separated a long time ago. Mrs. An lived with Fourth Brother An and his wife. Zhou Qingcao was pregnant. Both of them were honest people, and their life was not very good, but not bad either.
The eldest family gathered together for dinner, and Lin Cuihua asked her eldest son, "Changzheng, has your sister written to you recently?"
There was no one in the family who could read, so every time we wrote a letter, An Changzheng would help write it.
Although he is only in the second grade, he studied with Shen Xiangzhi whenever he had time last year, and the amount of knowledge he has accumulated is definitely not something that only a second grader can possess.
"No, it's only been a few days since I last sent a letter. I guess Changyue hasn't received my letter yet. It will take at least half a month for her to reply. How can it be that fast?" An Changzheng didn't understand the hidden meaning in his words and answered honestly.
"Then have you heard that Er Gouzi has not been in the village for a while. He actually went to Jiangcheng." Lin Cuihua looked at her man with big eyes. "He is a little gangster who has lived in our small village since he was a child. What else can he do by running so far to Jiangcheng?"
Brother An understood what she meant and asked her, "What do you want to say? You are talking too much and you are not getting to the point. We still have to go to work later."
Lin Cuihua looked at him with a look of disappointment. "You tell me what I want to say. Er Gouzi has never even left the town. Who can he go to in Jiangcheng? Who else is there in Jiangcheng? Isn't it Hongdou? In my opinion, he must have gone to Hongdou. There have been rumors in the village these days that Zhao Xiaoyue sold all the chickens and pigs in her family to the village and is preparing to go to Jiangcheng to find Er Gouzi. They will work and settle down in Jiangcheng in the future and become city dwellers..."
The same thing happened to the second and third rooms.
But the attitudes of the eldest and second brothers An are similar. They know their own capabilities. They have not known anything except farming since childhood. Even if they find their way to Jiangcheng, there probably won't be any jobs they can do. It is better for them to stay in the countryside.
Brother An San had never achieved much. Ever since he had a son, he had nothing else to do all day except entertaining his son. Wang Dahua had complained to him a lot, but was directly pissed off by his indifferent attitude.
As for Fourth Brother An, he had no opinion of his own and didn't have any ideas in his mind. Zhou Qingcao was pregnant, so even if he had any ideas in his mind, he would not choose to look for them now.
