"Isn't it already done?"
"Hey, let me tell you, it's only because we had these tractors this year that our autumn harvest went so quickly, and they helped them a lot too. Otherwise, this year would have been a real disaster."
She only spoke briefly, and didn't really know the specifics of the situation in each village. This was a good opportunity to hear some gossip.
"Really? Didn't all the tractors go to help?"
The old lady put down her work and sighed again.
"Who says otherwise? Logically speaking, it wasn't right after the autumn harvest; it was already halfway through. In any household, at most, only half would be left."
You tell me, we're all old farmers, the autumn harvest is around the same time every year, do you really need to mention this?
We've all finished the autumn harvest, but there are a few villages to the east where they haven't even started yet. Do you know what they're saying?
They say the weather is clear, so let's wait a bit longer; we'll harvest the corn later.
Well, now that's good, we've been waiting, and instead, the heavy rain has arrived.
Sun Xiang quickly advised,
"Oh, don't get angry again. My brother-in-law and the others had no choice. The village chief was there, wasn't he? He wouldn't let them do anything. What good is their worrying?"
Eldest sister?
I was a little confused. Did Uncle Liu have a daughter?
The old lady understood what she meant, rolled her eyes at Sun Xiang, and explained to her as well.
“My eldest son is a girl. I haven’t told you before. She got married a few years ago. Her husband is from Chengjiabao.”
Everything about her was good, and she was good to her daughter, but her daughter was unlucky; she didn't make it through childbirth.
In recent years, we've had less contact with my son-in-law. A few days after the autumn harvest, the old man went to the commune to handle some business and ran into my son-in-law. Only then did he learn that their village had truly suffered a complete crop failure.
"Look, as soon as she got back, she started thinking about her grandson. Who knows how his biased grandmother will torment him."
It's simple to understand now. There are really bad mothers-in-law everywhere these days. No wonder it's been said since ancient times that a girl's marriage is like being reborn, and the kind of mother-in-law she encounters is extremely important.
A husband may not be able to be with his wife every day, but a mother-in-law certainly will.
Over time, you'll see clearly whether someone is a person or a ghost.
Jian Dan didn't know how to advise him, and since she was the one who brought up the topic, she was still a little embarrassed. It was Sun Xiang, standing next to her, who said...
"Mom, look at you, you're clearly worried about your brother-in-law and the children, but you don't say anything."
"We're not too busy now, why don't you and Dad go take a look? Nothing anyone else says matters as much as seeing it for yourself."
As he spoke, he winked at Jian Dan, clearly asking her to help persuade him.
"Ah, Third Aunt, your aunt is right. If you keep thinking like this, won't you get stressed?"
"Look how worried my aunt is!"
The old lady glanced at her daughter-in-law.
“I know you’re a good person. Sigh, I don’t care about anything else. Your brother-in-law is too honest. Before, when your sister was around, she was fierce and managed to keep the family together. Now he’s left to raise the child by himself. His biased parents will treat him like an ox.”
My grandson might suffer even more.
I've been here for several years, and Jian Dan has never heard her talk about her family. I really don't know how to respond.
However, with Sun Xiang around, she basically had no say.
It must be said that Sun Xiang is a very clever daughter-in-law. Knowing that her parents-in-law were interested, she simply went along with it and helped them achieve their wish.
To put it bluntly, their daughter is gone. Even if they still care, all they have left is a former son-in-law who might remarry at any time and a young grandson. Even if they try to make up for it, how much can they really do?
Not to mention, her in-laws aren't stupid either.
Sure enough, Sun Xiang easily made the old lady smile with just a few words.
"Okay, okay, I'll go tomorrow, I'll go tomorrow."
I'm truly impressed by how simple it is.
Watching Sun Xiang go out to cook, Jian Dan quietly went over and teased her.
“Third mistress, I can tell you’re very satisfied with this daughter-in-law,”
The old lady looked smug.
"Of course, I picked her out myself. Out of so many girls, I chose her at first sight. She's straightforward and generous. Let me tell you, a child raised by a mother like that is bound to be good."
It's so simple, it's just speechless.
Is it appropriate for you to tell me this?
With the cotton-padded clothes arranged, Jian Dan began to calmly consider the other approach Liu Weimin had suggested.
If you're talking about taking things away, she can actually do it; she has money and a place to store them.
If we collect them now, and bring them out in a few years, they'll be high-quality, unprocessed items.
However, thinking about Liu Weimin's eyes, his thinning hair, and his increasing wrinkles, she temporarily put the idea aside and decided to see if she could find a suitable one to keep as a last resort.
If you want to get things done openly and legitimately, then the other party must be a government agency.
She was calculating which organizations and individuals she could connect with.
If they don't value this here, then we'll have to look further afield.
The only place she was familiar with was Beijing, and the only people she could talk to were Chen Hongjun and Zhu Yan.
At the steel plant, Chen Hongjun is the factory director, and the logistics department also needs this item. If she asks, Chen Hongjun will probably agree to help her. However, it feels a bit like asking for a favor and then expecting something in return.
This is a poor choice.
The other person is Zhu Yan.
In fact, she and Zhu Yan had never lost contact during the years she was sent to the countryside. Moreover, their relationship had become much closer than before. Zhu Yan had a good personality and wasn't petty. A few years ago, after they bought her a job with their money, they bought her a lot of things. She still remembered their kindness.
