Chapter 121 Although her son sometimes made her so angry she wanted to strangle him.
It's not that the Qian family is stingy.
Rather, in recent years, the wives in the village have been almost completely abandoned by their own families.
She knew perfectly well what was going on!
If you don't like your daughter and don't treat her like a child, then don't expect anything from her.
The soft-hearted women in the village immediately became quiet when they saw the way Qian looked at them.
“Think about it, when you were almost starving and had nothing to eat, did your families help you even a little bit… I’m telling you this, listen to me, I’m your support, if you…”
"Then don't blame me for being rude to you. If you can't stand up for yourselves, send them back to their parents' home!" After Qian finished speaking, the women in the village all quieted down.
A girl who had been bullied by her family immediately said, "Aunt Qian, you're right. I'll listen to you. My family doesn't treat me like a human being. It was you who helped me. I'll remember your kindness!"
"Exactly, my family did the same. Last year when we went back home for Chinese New Year, they were afraid we'd ask for food, so they took our New Year's gifts and wouldn't let us in. They even said we shouldn't visit each other anymore..."
These days, there are still quite a few people who prefer sons to daughters.
After seeing their expressions of agreement, Madam Qian nodded.
She glanced at Xiao Su Bao again, feeling a warm glow in her heart. She would never discriminate against girls; she loved both her daughter and her son.
Although her son sometimes makes her so angry she wants to strangle him...
"Mom, you're so amazing..." Little Su Bao looked at her majestic mother and felt a surge of admiration.
Madam Qian coughed lightly, not thinking her daughter had done anything wrong, and reached out to touch the little girl's hair.
She picked up the baby and squinted at the village women and mothers-in-law.
"I don't care what you think. I've raised several children all by myself, and I know how hard it is for women. Women shouldn't make things difficult for each other. None of us have a throne to inherit, so what's the difference between men and women? A well-raised daughter is much better than a boy!"
As Ms. Qian recalled her father's words, she felt even more certain that he was right.
“We heard that…” the women shouted in unison.
The men didn't shout, because at that moment they were all envious of Qian Shi for having such a precious daughter as Xiao Su Bao.
Look how confident he is, mainly because he really did get the money back!
Then look at your own daughter and son...
Forget it, I won't watch it, it's too upsetting.
Finally, Xiao Su Bao personally handed out forty copper coins to fifteen children. When Bai Yin Jun received them, he smiled so much that his eyes almost disappeared.
Go find Granny Bai right away, he needs to take Grandma to see a doctor!
Tang Xin was in a daze, still somewhat incredulous as she looked at the silver in her hand, but she eventually took the money and went back with her parents.
"Daughter, you're amazing! A full seven hundred coins! That's enough for us to eat well for two months!" Tang Xin's mother immediately patted Tang Xin's head and said.
“Look at her, our daughter earns more than you, a man! You used to laugh at Aunt Qian for losing money, but look at her now!” Tang Xinniang immediately looked at her husband and said proudly.
"Ahem, wife, but you know this from the past..." Tang Xin's father coughed and muttered softly.
Tang Xin turned to look at her father seriously, and then said with utmost sincerity, "Dad, I think Grandma Qian's family will get better and better. You can believe me!"
She believed in Xiao Su Bao and also trusted her own feelings; it seemed that after Xiao Su Bao was born, everyone in their village had better luck.
My luck has changed a lot too!
Their village used to be the poorest, but now it isn't.
That's two hundred taels of silver!
Although Aunt Qian didn't care, Bai Yinjun told himself and Su Daya not to tell their families.
Whether the Qian family says it or not, they cannot say it.
Tang Xin looked at her parents, then turned to look at little Su Bao nestled in Qian Shi's arms, and said very seriously, "Father, Mother, I will always stay with Su Bao. No matter what she does, I will support her!"
She didn't say the last sentence aloud, but she would also protect Xiao Su Bao.
"Alright, you earn more money, so whatever you say is right!" Tang Xin's father immediately said with a smile.
It would be a lie to say that those who didn't participate weren't envious.
However, since they said it was ten coins per pound, they could go and catch the pincers.
Suddenly remembering something, Qian called out, seeing that no one had gone far, "We have a lot of trap bugs around here. Remember, you can only catch the big ones, not the whole nest... and..."
After thinking for a moment, Ms. Qian said, "If anyone is interested, they can dig a pond to raise crickets and some fish, and we can send them over later!"
The villagers were instantly jolted awake, and much of their previous enthusiasm dissipated.
The way he looked at Qian was indescribably strange.
There's a small river right next to them, and they've raised fish there before...
But have you ever seen a fish farm that, after a year of raising fish, only manages to catch fish the length of three fingers?
They even harvested two snakes from shrimp they'd raised for a year...
Over the years, that pond has been empty; nobody raises anything there anymore.
"You can make your own decisions, but if you see others making money, you're not allowed to be envious!" Madam Qian gave a heads-up.
When Xiao Su Bao heard her mother's words and saw the distrustful looks in everyone's eyes, she immediately became a little angry.
Although the little baby was timid and reserved, he couldn't help but say in his childish voice, "Su Bao believes in Mommy, Mommy will definitely lead everyone to earn money!"
As soon as the voice came out, Tang Xin immediately shouted, "Our family is willing to raise it!"
Upon hearing this, many people shouted, mainly referring to the fifteen families who had earned money this time.
Bai Yinjun had breast milk at home and a sick mother, so after thinking for a moment, he shouted, "I'm willing too!"
When Ms. Qian looked into the baby's bright, sparkling eyes, her heart softened.
“Our Su Bao is right. Each family should consider its own situation. But I remember there are only twenty-six ponds in total!” Tang Cheng stepped forward, walked up to his mother and younger sister, and said calmly.
"Let me make this clear from the beginning: no matter how much everyone earns in the first year, half of it must be given to the village. This money is for the elderly living alone and children in the village, as well as for repairing the ancestral hall and for the teacher's tuition." This was a matter he had carefully considered.
After saying this, Tang Cheng took Xiao Su Bao from Qian Shi's arms and led them back.
Little Su Bao was so hungry that he collapsed and looked listless. He needed to feed the baby as soon as possible.
At that moment, Zhao Sanpao, who was standing to the side, became excited as he listened.
There are also some trap-like insects near their village; if they could...
Then the people in the village wouldn't go hungry.
"I...can our village..." His voice trembled, his eyes fixed on Xiao Su Bao...
