"Mingyue, let's go inside and talk." Zhang Wenzhong didn't want to argue with his mother; all she was saying wouldn't solve anything, and she didn't understand.
Lin Zhaoyue gave a soft "hmm" and turned to go inside, making sure to close the door behind her.
The fact that her son and daughter-in-law were on the same page really infuriated Zhang's mother!
There's an old saying that goes something like this?
It's true what they say: once you marry a wife, you forget your mother!
No, I need to find another way to get my son on her side.
"..." Inside the room, Lin Mingyue stood at the window and, seeing that her mother-in-law wasn't eavesdropping this time, got up and sat on the edge of the bed. "What do you want to say?"
"What can I say? Of course, it's still about what I just talked about."
Zhang Wenzhong said to Lin Mingyue with a serious expression, "Mingyue, what should I do now? Should I wait to be laid off, or try to curry favor with the director and ask him not to fire me?"
"The factory layoffs are not limited to your factory. Basically all factories are experiencing layoffs, which means that a large number of workers will be laid off. I don't think being laid off is necessarily a bad thing."
"How can this not be a bad thing? Our whole family depends on me to earn money. If I lose my job, our whole family will starve!"
Zhang Wenzhong was extremely worried. He raised his hand and scratched his head. "Money is getting harder and harder to earn. We'll have to be more careful with money at home from now on..."
“All the money you’ve earned is kept with your mother. You should tell your mother that.”
Lin Mingyue said sarcastically, "If you ask me, your brain is dead. Do you have to work for someone else to make money? Don't you ever think about being your own boss?"
"You mean you want to start a small business?"
Doing business is not that easy!
Zhang Wenzhong didn't even believe he had a talent for business.
Moreover, it is extremely easy to lose all of your principal.
They already had no way to make money, and now they're losing money.
no.
Zhang Wenzhong shook his head. "How about we treat the director to a meal?"
"If you can come up with this idea, why can't others?" Anyone can do something as simple as treating someone to a meal! The key issue is that constantly trying to please the director is not a long-term solution.
"A meal at a state-run restaurant costs at least two months' salary. Even if you're not laid off this time, can you guarantee there won't be more layoffs at the end of the year? What about next year? How much salary will you have left?"
Lin Mingyue gave him a good talking-to on the matter, saying, "Zhang Wenzhong, if we rely on you to focus solely on working and making money, our family's life will always be ordinary. And according to what you said, if we get laid off, we might starve and live in constant fear."
After Lin Mingyue's reminder, Zhang Wenzhong thought about it again and realized... it really was true.
"Then why don't you take two months' salary and start a small business?"
Lin Mingyue's eyes darkened. "Wenzhong, how about this? You've saved quite a bit of money with our mother over the years. Let's try to get some of it out and use it as capital for our business. I happen to have some money here too, which can be used for our family's living expenses from now on."
"This money cannot be touched."
Zhang Wenzhong had just understood what was going on; the money Mingyue was holding must have been the red envelope her sister had given to the child.
no.
Some money should be used, and some money should not be used.
This money shouldn't have been used.
“I said this money can be used, so it can be used. Don’t worry about who gave it to you, as long as it can help in an emergency.”
Lin Mingyue paused when she finished speaking, then added, "We are the real family."
Hearing her say that, Zhang Wenzhong was immediately moved. He stepped forward and held Lin Mingyue's hand tightly. "Mingyue, with your words, I will definitely work hard and strive to give you and our daughter a better life!"
"That's the right way to think," Lin Mingyue said with a faint smile. "Wenzhong, as long as we work together, there's no obstacle we can't overcome!"
Zhang Wenzhong couldn't help but reach out and pull her into his arms. He thought to himself, "I've really married a good wife."
Lin Mingyue raised her hand and patted his back reassuringly, "Besides, I think you can definitely do it. My grandfather started from scratch, which is why the Lin family has grown so big and strong. You can do it too."
Zhang Wenzhong immediately became full of confidence.
That very night, he went to his mother to ask for money.
When Zhang's mother heard him ask for two hundred yuan right away, she was so shocked that she immediately stood up from the bed. "How much money do you want?"
"two hundred."
Zhang Wenzhong told his mother about his idea, and now he is full of confidence and determined to make a big splash.
"No, wait a minute."
Zhang's mother was a little unable to accept what he said, "Two hundred yuan? Where am I supposed to get that much money for you!"
“Mom, it’s normal to make and lose money in business. We can’t always think the worst. I know you don’t want to give it, but we have to in this situation. That’s the trend of the times. I have to seize the opportunity to make money.”
After saying that, Zhang Wenzhong didn't want to say anything more. "Forget it, you don't need to worry about anything else. Just give me the money."
“No, I use all the money you give me every month for normal household expenses. How could I possibly come up with so much money all at once? I’m not kidding you!” After saying that, Zhang’s mother immediately became suspicious of Lin Mingyue. “Just now, you two were whispering to each other in the room. Did your wife send you to ask me for money? Son, this woman is just fooling you. She’s planning to take the money back and keep it in her own hands. We’re the only ones on the same page.”
"Mother, what nonsense are you spouting? We're talking about investing and doing business, why are you dragging Mingyue into this?"
Zhang Wenzhong frowned, clearly disliking what she was saying.
“Mingyue is doing well, and she’s committed to living a stable life with me. But you, why do you always have such complaints about your daughter-in-law? The disharmony in our family is all because of you!”
Zhang's mother was rebuked.
She was so angry she couldn't speak.
What did I just say?
The son is biased towards his daughter-in-law.
They don't even care about her, their mother.
She was absolutely right!
"Since it was your wife's idea, then let your wife come and ask me for money!"
"Didn't we agree that you would keep my money safe? Why is it so difficult for me to get my money back!"
"Wenzhong, you've lost your mind."
"Mom, stop talking nonsense. I'll just ask you one question: are you going to give me the money or not?"
"No."
It's not that we won't give it, it's that we don't have it.
"Mother, when my husband and I make a lot of money in the future, we will take care of you. Or do you not believe that Wenzhong has the ability to make money?"
Lin Mingyue spoke up, deliberately "sowing discord".
