Chapter 443 Everyone Hates Mother-in-Law (11)
"Mom, you are old now. Do you want to come to the city and live with us? I am worried about you staying alone in your hometown." Liu Zongqiang was too embarrassed to tell her directly that he wanted her to help him take care of the child, so he planned to trick her from her hometown first. Once she arrived home, he didn't believe that she would have the heart to stand by and watch her grandson with no one to take care of him.
She was sure that she would help take care of the children and do housework out of pity, without him asking, thus preserving his dignity...
"If you're worried, hire a nanny to take care of me." Chen Shichu's words were so infuriating that Liu Zongqiang choked and blushed when he heard her words. He felt ashamed.
"The nanny is an outsider, and I am also worried." Liu Zongqiang said while trying to suppress his anger, "Mom, don't you miss your grandson? Zixuan is older now and very cute. Don't you want to see him?" He began to play the emotional card.
"I don't want to. Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up." Chen Shichu was too lazy to listen to his beating around the bush and his reluctance to tell the truth.
At this time, Liu Zongqiang became anxious. He had no choice but to close his eyes and whispered quickly, "Mom, Shuwen and I have to go to work now, and there is no one to take care of Zixuan. I was thinking, can you come and help take care of him?"
Chen Shichu smiled. Look, the real intention is finally exposed, right?
"No, I won't do thankless work anymore. Didn't you complain before that I couldn't take care of the children? You even said you wouldn't take care of me. I still remember clearly how ruthless you looked at that time. Why, why do you think of me, an old woman, now? Because I am still useful and can be your family's nanny for free, which saves you a lot of trouble, so you finally remember me, your old mother?" Chen Shichu said sarcastically.
"No, Mom, it's not like that..." Liu Zongqiang suddenly felt bad, and realized that Chen Shichu hated him for his rude words last time, so he hurried to make amends, "Mom, you are right, I am a bastard, I am sorry for making you sad, it's my fault, when I became a father myself, I knew how much effort it takes to raise a child, I was so unfilial to you in the way I treated you before, I just hope you can give me a chance to make amends, let me be filial to you..."
Liu Zongqiang finally lowered his noble head and admitted his mistake to Chen Shichu, but he did not mention at all that he asked Chen Shichu to go back to help take care of the children. He only said that he wanted to be filial to his mother. His ability to avoid the trivial and focus on the important was quite powerful. In short, he wanted to trick Chen Shichu back to the city. Only when she returned to the city could he naturally let her take care of the housework and take care of the children.
Unfortunately, Chen Shichu was not fooled: "I just said, if you are really filial, just hire a nanny to take care of me, and don't mention anything else. Otherwise, I have reason to suspect that you are trying to trick me into going to the city to help you take care of the child."
Liu Zongqiang: …
What else could he say? Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Chen Shichu chuckled, knowing that he had hit his sore spot, and hung up the phone directly.
This person is a typical example of "using people first and looking down on them later". When he needs you, he will try his best to please you, but when he doesn't need you anymore, he will turn against you in an instant and become ruthless and selfish.
"How is it? When will your mother come? Ask her to come as soon as possible. I can't always take leave to stay at home to take care of the children." Zhao Shuwen had no idea that Chen Shichu would be unwilling to come. She thought that as long as Liu Zongqiang asked, Chen Shichu would definitely pack his luggage and come quickly.
Liu Zongqiang slammed his phone onto the sofa and said, "Stop dreaming! The old woman won't come!"
"What? She actually refuses to come?" Zhao Shuwen was extremely shocked. "Doesn't she love her son very much? She refused to let go of the child before, and now she refuses to come and take care of him?"
Zhao Shuwen was so angry that she laughed: "If I really couldn't find anyone to help, I would not care about her at all. It's her honor to let her take care of our son, but she is not happy about it?"
"Yes, they are just unhappy. What can you do? Why don't you just quit your job and take care of it yourself!" said Liu Zongqiang.
"Are you crazy? We still have to pay the mortgage, and buy milk powder and diapers for our son. If I don't go to work, will your salary be enough?" Zhao Shuwen would definitely not agree. A full-time mother is not a person of status. Without a job, she would really become a shrew.
"Then what else can we do? We can't put our son back after he's born!" Liu Zongqiang shouted angrily, grabbing his hair.
Zhao Shuwen was also furious: "In the final analysis, it's because you are useless! I shouldn't have married you in the first place. You can't even support your own wife and children!"
"I can't support you, so get out of here now. What are you still doing in my house?" Liu Zongqiang finally exploded when he heard her harsh words. His eyes widened red, veins on his forehead popped out, and he roared at Zhao Shuwen with a ferocious face.
Zhao Shuwen was startled, and the child in her arms was also frightened and started crying. For a moment, the house was in chaos again.
But these have nothing to do with Chen Shichu. She bought an electric starch machine and made starch from the sweet potatoes grown in her family. This machine is much more convenient and labor-saving than manual grinding, and it is also quick enough.
Later, other people in the village saw it and a few of them bought the machine, but more of them came to Chen Shichu to borrow it. Chen Shichu would not lend but only rent it, charging each person according to the weight of the various potatoes they wanted to cook. Surprisingly, this became quite a big business.
Later, after the cassava, an economic crop planted by the government in several villages and towns, grew up, Chen Shichu's business became even better. More and more people came to her to rent electric starch machines to make cassava into cassava flour, and then make various cassava products to sell online.
Because one machine was not enough, Chen Shichu bought two more... then three, ten... In this way, she somehow became the first cassava flour processing factory in the local area, and the various certificates were issued by the government itself.
Because of the government's support and the local source of cassava, Chen Shichu's factory saved on shipping costs and other losses. After she processed the villagers' cassava into cassava flour, some villagers would take the cassava flour back and process it into various commodities and sell them online; while some who were too lazy to do it themselves would directly sell the cassava flour to Chen Shichu's factory, who would hire people to make derivative products into them and sell them.
Even though this cassava factory is not a high-end industry, it actually makes a lot of money. Not to mention other things, just look at the pearl balls made from cassava flour. These pearl balls are used to make milk tea, which is a popular drink among young people in recent years. Even in their town with less than 200,000 people, there are six or seven milk tea shops. You can imagine how many milk tea shops there are in a city or a province. Therefore, Chen Shichu's pearl balls are always in short supply.
