"Growing yams and selling them? Ha, you sound so easy. You know what will happen if you are labeled as a speculator. Yuzhu, if you don't want to help your mother's family, then forget it. But don't come back and harm us."
Seeing that he couldn't get the money and was given such a bad idea, Tian Cai couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
Yang Xiu was too flustered to speak. She couldn't make up her mind: "Yuzhu, this..."
Tian Yuzhu looked at Tian Cai with a cold face: "How about we take a gamble? Don't stop me. Let my mother grow yams. If she makes money, it will belong to her. If she loses, I will give her the money she lost."
"Oh, you are so arrogant. Don't think you are great just because you have an officer as your husband. You should have a conscience. Even if you marry well, don't forget where your roots are." Tian Cai was still sarcastic.
It was originally a happy thing that his silly daughter had risen up the social ladder, but he soon discovered that his daughter was heartless and naturally felt unhappy.
Tian Yuzhu knew his nature. If he was unhappy, he would make others unhappy. She also knew that it was not worth it to be influenced by him.
So he stuck to the topic and asked, "I just want to ask you if you dare to gamble?"
Tian Cai was so excited that he responded: "Okay, let's bet."
"Okay, but what if you're afraid my mom's yam planting will be successful and you try to sabotage it?"
"Am I...am I that kind of person?"
After Tian Cai said this, he found that all his children were looking at him, and there was distrust in everyone's eyes.
That’s right, Tian Cai is such a shameless and life-threatening person.
Tian Yuzhu sneered, "If you've ever sabotaged my mother's yams from the time she started growing them until she could sell them, I swear I'll never recognize you as my father again."
Looking at Tian Yuzhu's resolute expression, Tian Ying didn't know where she got the courage from. She slowly raised her hand and said, "Dad, you've beaten Mom for so many years. It's time for me to speak up for Mom. If you really do that, I won't recognize you."
Tian Xiang was next. He looked at his two sisters and raised his hand: "Count me in."
"You little bastard..." Tian Cai gritted his teeth in anger: "You dare to rebel? I'll beat you to death today. Come here..."
"Tian Xiang is not young anymore and can distinguish right from wrong. I agree with Yuzhu's suggestion. If an elder makes a bet and then breaks his promise, he will have to bear the consequences himself."
Just as Tian Cai was about to slap Tian Xiang twice, Shi Zhentang's voice sounded coldly at the door.
He had heard what his daughter-in-law said and also noticed his father-in-law's reaction.
He knew what kind of person this elder was, otherwise he wouldn't have come here yesterday. He just wanted him to shut up and stop arguing with Tian Yuzhu. His purpose was to prevent his wife from getting too emotional.
Hearing Shi Zhentang's voice, even Tian Ji was so frightened that he quickly expressed his opinion: "Dad, I think we can let Mom try. You can't make trouble."
"Haha, how could I? I'll do whatever you say." Tian Cai was frightened by Shi Zhentang's sudden entry. He didn't dare to say anything. He quickly put on the shoes that he had taken off halfway and was about to throw at Tian Xiang.
"Haha, Captain Shi, if there's nothing else, we'll go clean up the house."
I really didn't dare to stay with Shi Zhentang for even a minute.
Even though he was his son-in-law, he didn't dare to call him by his name, but called him Captain Shi.
Seeing Tian Cai and Tian Ji hurriedly running out of the house, Tian Yuzhu burst into laughter: "Mom, see, you have a backer now. Don't be afraid. Try to be brave slowly."
Yang Xiu nodded with mixed feelings: "Yuzhu, Zhentang, thank you."
Tian Ying also encouraged her and comforted her: "Mom, don't be afraid. I will teach you how to be brave in the future."
After chatting for a few more words, Tian Yuzhu stuffed twenty yuan into Yang Xiu's pocket, telling her to give the money to Tian Ying to hide, excluding the money for buying yam. If it was inconvenient for her to keep the money with her, she should keep it in Tian Ying's hands and make sure it didn't fall into Tian Cai's hands.
In addition, Tian Xiang would use the excuse of visiting relatives to send the clothes made by Tian Ying to Quanshui Village on the commune's ox cart.
Seeing that they were about to go back, Yang Xiu cried like beads falling from a broken string.
She wanted to invite her daughter and son-in-law to have a meal, but there were still a few broken bowls in the kitchen, none of which could be served to her son-in-law.
But she was reluctant to part with him. Yang Xiu cried, "Yuzhu, you're pregnant. You have to take good care of yourself. I don't know when we'll meet again."
"Mom, I will write to you. I hope you are all well. I will come to see you when I come back from vacation."
Tian Yuzhu also felt sour and uncomfortable.
Although in principle this is not her biological mother, the original owner's emotions are also integrated into her thoughts.
When leaving the courtyard, Tian Ji suddenly caught up with her, looking bewildered, and unexpectedly said, "Yuzhu, I'm sorry."
Tian Ji is not a bad person by nature. He is the eldest in the family and has lived under the fists and sticks of Tian Cai since he was a child. To be precise, he has been numbed by the beatings.
Yu Zhi had long lost his autonomy and did whatever Tian Cai said. The fact that he came to apologize at this time was a big breakthrough in his character.
Tian Yuzhu felt a little soft-hearted when she saw him like that: "Brother, I can understand how you feel about not being able to find a wife. Having a silly sister at home may affect your decision about finding a wife, but I think the key lies in your own ability.
A good blacksmith must have strong tools himself, so that you can be down-to-earth when doing things in the future. Besides, haven’t I earned back the face that your silly sister lost for you now?
Just wait, as long as your family gets better and better, sooner or later there will be a girl willing to marry you."
These few words were neither too light nor too heavy, and they made Tian Ji blush and nod his head. Then he followed his family to send Tian Yuzhu and her husband to the village entrance and got on the car.
Tian Yuzhu comforted Yang Xiu a few more words, and at this moment two people came over in a hurry.
"Jade beads."
"Captain Shi."
Hey, isn’t that Tian Wang and the women’s director Wang Lan?
The two met at the commendation meeting in Xinyi Town.
Shi Zhentang politely shook hands with Tian Wang: "Uncle."
Tian Yuzhu smiled and said, "Uncle, Sister Wang."
Wang Lan, who was usually very reserved, also smiled at this moment: "Uncle Tian heard that you were back, so he hurried over to see you. I didn't expect you to leave so soon."
"I have something to do at home and need to rush back. I'll come back another day." Tian Yuzhu looked at Tian Wang gratefully and said, "Uncle, thank you for still thinking of us. Next time I come back for a longer time, I will definitely visit you."
Shi Zhentang said, "Yes, have a drink with me next time."
Tian Wang's face lit up immediately. "Of course I have! I haven't even had a drink with Zhentang yet! Oh, by the way, has your commune informed us of something?"
"What's up?"
"Great news! The country has started to implement the household distribution system!"
