Thinking of this, Chen Sanming glared at his wife fiercely, and then he spoke to his mother seriously.

"Mom, it's almost the New Year, why do we always talk about these dirty things?"

"..."

When old lady Liu heard her son say this, she was stunned for a moment, and soon she became angry.

"Chen Sanming, explain clearly what you mean by dirty things?"

"I don't understand, how can you become such a person in recent years? In the past, you could still do things down to earth. But what about you now? I can't command you to do anything. Do you think I'm old and useless, so you want to separate from us?"

When Chen Sanming saw that his mother was gritting her teeth at him and was very angry, he thought about it and replied in a low voice.

"Mom, you misunderstood me. I'm not that kind of person."

"I just think that we can talk about other things, such as farming..."

Old lady Liu said angrily after hearing this, "You don't need to worry about this!"

"By the way, how is your youngest son doing in his studies this year? It's already this time, why hasn't he come back yet?"

Chen Sanming said, "He is staying at his grandfather's house now. He said he will come back on New Year's Eve. Because during this period, the teacher in the county city still keeps him, wanting him to learn more knowledge, so that he can pass the imperial examination in the future..."

Hearing what he said, old lady Liu, uh, a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. If there were no outsiders here, she would have started scolding him a long time ago.

He had only read a few days of books, but he knew how to put on a bad face in front of his grandmother. She really felt that it was better not to raise such a grandson.

Thinking of the many troubles at home, old lady Liu swallowed a mouthful of tea, and then slowly said to Gu Yanzhang, "Brother Yan, there are some things we don't need to explain so clearly. Since you have already called people to open up those lands, you can plant whatever you want next year and don't have to pay attention to us. As for the remaining money, you don't need to pay it back in a hurry. Anyway, our family is not short of this little money."

In order to get that thing done, Chen Xuanxuan secretly borrowed 20 taels of silver from her.

It has only been less than a few months, and the capable daughter of the family can pay back five taels of silver. It can be seen that she may really do a lot of good things in the future.

Thinking of this, the smile that old lady Liu showed to her son-in-law became more genuine.

After asking Gu Yanzhang to stay in the house and have a sumptuous meal, she asked her eldest son, whom she trusted particularly, to see him out.

As soon as Gu Yanzhang returned home, he told his wife what he saw, heard, and felt at Chen Xuanxuan's mother's house.

When Chen Xuanxuan heard these words, she immediately understood that her mother's family must be in turmoil now.

After all, there are so many people in a family, and now they live under the same roof, and each small family has its own ideas.

Some people want to get more money from her mother. Some of them want their mother to find some connections for them.

And some of them even look down on their mother.

If you put yourself in her shoes, if you were her age and position, you might have to face a lot of troubles.

Just because you are filial now doesn’t mean you will be filial in the future. After the children grow up, they will definitely think about how to support the family and make a living.

Once they have great prospects and are very successful, a head of the family like her may not be able to enjoy her

old age. And once those children are good-for-nothing and have achieved nothing, it will be particularly difficult for them to support the family when they get older. Then the whole family will definitely regard the issue of supporting the elderly as a burden.

Once an old woman like her gets sick or has an accident, these children may not take good care of her and repay her.

When she thought of the news she had heard in her previous life, for example, some mothers gave birth to eight sons after a lifetime of hard work. After the old lady in her eighties or nineties got sick, none of her eight sons cared about her. They didn't give money, didn't work, didn't give anything, and didn't even know how to go back home to visit their mother. Chen Xuanxuan felt that such a thing might actually happen to her.

So, after Chen Xuanxuan sighed quietly in her heart, she began to look carefully at her six children.

To be honest, these six children were actually the ready-made children she picked up.

It was the original owner who went through so much pain and endured 10 months of pain before she gave birth to them with great difficulty.

So far, Chen Xuanxuan has not experienced the pain of childbirth.

As for raising children,... Chen Xuanxuan has to be honest. She feels that she doesn't have much affection for these children.

She used to be a free person. She used to work and earn money just to provide for her own consumption and survival.

She has never thought about raising others, and she has never even raised a cat or a dog.

She has always felt that if she raises a child, she must take the responsibility.

Because children are not born casually, nor are they raised casually.

She can't be irresponsible and let her own children go.

However, for the sake of her own old age, she must carefully consider the future of her six ready-made cheap children.

She has to help these children plan their life paths.

As for whether they are willing to follow that plan, that is their own business.

If they don't want to, she won't force them.

After all, Chen Xuanxuan feels from the bottom of her heart that they are actually independent individuals. They have to be responsible for their own choices.

After thinking through these things, Chen Xuanxuan began to talk seriously to the man beside her.

"At the beginning of next spring, we will plant glutinous rice in those fields. We have always been a farming family. The most fundamental thing is actually the land. So, we have to grow good crops. Our children also have to learn the skills of farming. These children have to learn what to do and what not to do in the four seasons and 24 solar terms of the year..."

Although Gu Yanzhang has made a lot of money during this period, he still has a lot of doubts in his heart.

Gu Yanzhang knew that he could make some money from trading and make his family's life better. However, once those farmers lost their fields, it would be difficult for them to make money in the future. Gu Yanzhang knew
