Jiang Yue's trip here wasn't just to volunteer to support Da Shi; she also had another purpose: to find Da Niu!
Unfortunately, Da Niu probably wouldn't be back anytime soon, so she first informed her mother-in-law that if Da Niu came home, she should ask Da Niu to come to her house so she could discuss something with her.
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Zhou immediately took it to heart and naturally agreed.
After the third brother's wife left, she was still wondering what the third brother's wife wanted to talk to Da Niu about.
After much thought, there's only one possibility—
Pharmaceutical factory is hiring!
Yes, that's right. The pharmaceutical company is settled, it's time to select personnel!
As the base camp for the next decade, the first base station, internal selection within the pharmaceutical company is of paramount importance!
After much deliberation, Jiang Yue decided to cultivate a group of trusted confidants.
And one of these trusted confidantes is Da Niu!
Sure enough, in the evening, Da Niu came to her door looking for her.
"Third Aunt, Grandma said you were coming to see me, so I came as soon as I got home."
Da Niu explained nervously, rubbing her hands together involuntarily as she stood awkwardly in front of her aunt.
“Hey girl, I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you, don’t be shy.”
Jiang Yue smiled gently, stood up, stepped forward, and led Da Niu into her room.
After closing the door, she casually moved a stool for Da Niu, then brought over a fruit plate, lifted the lid, and gestured for her to take whatever she wanted.
"Thank you, Third Aunt!"
Da Niu brushed a stray hair behind her ear, then reached out and grabbed a small handful of peanuts from the fruit plate.
"Big sister, what are your plans for the future? Can you tell your third aunt about them?"
Jiang Yue moved the stool from the bedside table over, and the two sat facing each other, creating a relaxed atmosphere.
The room was quiet, with a faint scent of honeysuckle filling the air.
Da Niu paused for a moment, then belatedly realized that her aunt was asking her how she planned to live her life in the future.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but clench the peanut in her hand.
Her younger brother is getting married in a few days. Although her future sister-in-law doesn't seem to mind her situation yet, she knows her place. If their parents were gone, how could she, with her disabled body, shamelessly stay at home...?
The young woman licked her dry lips, her face bitter, and said:
"Third Aunt, I... I can't have children anymore."
"Yes, Auntie knows. This is not your fault. The person who caused this situation has already received their retribution."
Jiang Yue nodded, comforting her eldest niece.
Sigh, physical wounds can heal with medicine, but the scars on the heart will take a lifetime to heal.
Da Niu lowered her eyes, her eyes slightly reddening.
Being unable to have children means that she will never have any offspring in her life!
Even if a widower were to remarry, he would not choose a woman like her!
"Third Aunt, I don't want to get married anymore, and I don't want to be a burden on the family."
Hearing Da Niu's choked-up words of truth, Jiang Yue felt a pang of sadness. What a good child, what a pity...
Hold on, she's not trying to reopen old wounds, she just wants to make Da Niu her confidante!
After Da Niu calmed down a bit, she took the initiative to bring up the pharmaceutical factory and explained her plans for it and its operating model.
Da Niu listened attentively and took careful notes; her aunt wouldn't have said these things to her for no reason.
"Big sister, your auntie has been widowed for many years and has used every means at her disposal to raise your younger cousins..."
Jiang Yue patted Da Niu on the shoulder, comforting her and leading her to recount her own experiences.
The original owner did give birth, but did not teach, did not raise, and was not filial!
So what if Da Niu can't have children?
A woman's value in this world is not measured by her ability to give birth!
“Listen to your third aunt, don’t worry. You’re no worse than anyone else. Just live for yourself and for the family you cherish.”
The more Da Niu listened, the more alert she became. Her aunt's comforting words were like spring blossoms, summer lotus fragrance, autumn harvest, and winter sunshine...
"Third Aunt, please show me the way."
"The pharmaceutical factory is about to open, and your third aunt wants you to come work there and help her manage things. What do you think?"
Jiang Yue smiled and said, "It's not difficult to say these words."
"I'll do whatever you say, Auntie. But I've never been in charge before, so if I don't manage things well, I'm afraid I'll embarrass you."
The girl was deeply moved; it turned out that her aunt had already made arrangements for her future!
How could she not be happy about this?
But she's just a divorced woman with no real skills. If she learns now, won't it interfere with her aunt's important plans?
"What are you afraid of? Just study hard. Once Dashi gets married, you can focus on the pharmaceutical factory. Your third aunt will teach you step by step until you can stand on your own."
Jiang Yue was delighted. Her desire to bring Da Niu under her wing was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a plan she had been observing for a long time.
She had harvested a batch of honeysuckle this year. While she was preparing it, Da Niu happened to come and deliver vegetables, so she asked her to lend a hand. To her surprise, she discovered that Da Niu's comprehension was even better than Yao Yao's!
With the opening of the pharmaceutical factory, medicinal materials will be continuously supplied to the factory.
Relying solely on her and Yao Yao's methods would probably be a drop in the ocean!
Her grandfather's medical skills and food preparation techniques will surely be passed down to her!
After much thought, she decided to find a few "disciples" with respectable family backgrounds and good aptitude, to teach them personally, so that their learning would be less of her burden and that they would pass on what she had learned!
She started consciously teaching Yao Yao, You Yin, and Xiao Xue after the New Year.
At the pharmaceutical factory, she trained Da Niu, which was beneficial in every way, both publicly and privately!
"Heaven above, I, Wu Danu, am fortunate to have been favored by my third aunt today and to have been taught techniques. I will study diligently and live up to her kindness. If I ever do anything to harm my third aunt in the future, may I be struck by lightning and never reincarnate!"
Da Niu got up, put the peanuts in her pocket, and immediately knelt down, pointing to the sky and swearing an oath.
A mentor who imparted knowledge is like a second life. Da Niu isn't stupid; her aunt's promise gave her a way to start a new life!
In this era, people believe in ghosts and gods, so such a solemn oath cannot be taken lightly!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue quickly helped Da Niu up, brushed the dust off her knees, and said with a smile:
"Alright, go home now, your aunt won't keep you for dinner."
"Oh, thank you, Auntie."
The girl nodded and obediently prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute~"
Jiang Yue called out to Da Niu and whispered a few more private words to her...
