Hearing what old lady Liu said, Chen Daming nodded seriously.
"Mom, the only thing I'm worried about now is that the lover my third sister found is not a good person..."
Although some men are generous, they are fake.
And it's fake generosity with bad intentions.
Such people are just thinking about playing the long game and catching big fish. They want to get something for nothing after just throwing some bait.
Old lady Liu also has her own personal experience of such things.
As her most relied-upon and trusted eldest son, Chen Daming is also very clear in his heart.
After the uncle constable left here, it was only a few years, and Chen Daming and old lady Liu felt that their life suddenly became extremely difficult.
After paying all kinds of taxes and fees truthfully, their whole family had no money left.
In the past, their family could eat meat from time to time. But ever since his father stopped working in the county government and followed his superiors to work outside, it was simply a dream for them to eat meat.
So, Chen Daming soon found out that his mother had found another man outside.
And this man was a butcher whose wife had died. He had three children under his care.
This butcher Huang was not a good person.
At that time, he was still thinking about letting his mother pay a sum of money to marry him.
So, his family had a lot of arguments with him before they separated.
However, not long after the separation, his mother found a good man outside.
Thanks to this godfather, Chen Daming felt that his family was better off than the others in Chenjia Village.
Although they looked the same as them, wearing poor clothes and eating poorly, Chen Daming could pat his chest and guarantee that the money the old lady had was definitely much more than those people.
Seeing Chen Daming sitting there in a daze, motionless, as if thinking about something.
Old lady Liu said with the attitude of a person who has experienced it, "Big brother, it is rare for a person to be ignorant in this life."
"Actually, you don't have to pity your current father."
"Although I cheated on him a few times, he has nothing to say, right?"
"If it weren't for me, your biological father, do you think Chen Decai could afford to build these six bright houses in his lifetime? Do you think a useless person like him can afford to marry a wife and raise children?"
"If I wasn't in this family, Chen Decai would be an old bachelor who couldn't get married. He would have no children. When he died, no one would throw a pot in his mouth."
Seeing that the old lady Liu's voice had unconsciously become louder, Chen Daming stood up anxiously, grabbed her shoulders tightly and said, "Mom, please speak a little more quietly. We are all still asleep!"
After being reminded by her eldest son, the old lady Liu finally lowered her voice.
After taking a deep breath, she calmed down.
"Boss, you think too much about your third sister. It's never a good thing to get to the bottom of things. Where did those good things come from? You should be able to guess it if you use your brain..." "It
's really hard for us women. When you go to her place and talk to her in the future, you should pretend to be deaf and dumb. After all, you can get a lot of benefits by taking her things and selling them in the surrounding villages, right?"
Chen Daming couldn't help but sigh in his heart after hearing this.
It was not easy for his mother to raise them all these years.
Although he does have such a ready-made father now. But this father is almost the same as not having him. He doesn't care about anything. Compared with his biological father, he is far inferior.
Because he can't do anything else except planting in the fields and doing odd jobs in the county town in his spare time, and he can't make much money. A family of more than ten people will starve to death if they rely on him for food.
Because in the past, one child would starve to death for every one his mother gave birth to. She really had no other choice, so she helped him find a few uncles and let him recognize them as godfathers.
Chen Daming has always known what the relationship between his mother and those uncles is. In this regard, he not only took it for granted, he even felt that old lady Liu had vision and ability, and was much better than his incompetent father!
Over the years, if it weren't for those godfathers, it would not be easy for him to be a peddler in these dozens of villages!
After all, many villages nowadays are particularly xenophobic. Except for festivals, they generally do not allow people from other villages to visit.
They do not trust outsiders.
However, if a constable from the county government personally guarantees him, those people will also give his godfathers a face.
Thinking of his third sister, who should have found a few lovers in private, Chen Daming thought about it seriously and nodded.
"Third sister, she should have done this a long time ago!"
"If she had found a few capable men earlier, she wouldn't have to suffer so much."
"Mother, look, if you go to buy these tiger skin plasters, it will cost you a hundred coins!"
Before the old lady Liu could speak, Chen Daming, who had always been good at arithmetic, did the math for her.
"The half catty of white flour and a large bowl of pearl rice that Third sister brought over the day before yesterday, if you really had to go to the county town to buy them, it would cost at least twenty coins."
"According to this calculation, Third sister's lover is not bad for her. He is generous..."
When the old lady Liu heard this, she smiled.
She nodded repeatedly and said, "You should look for a generous man. Looking for those stingy ones is just putting yourself at a disadvantage."
"Boss, in the future, you should go to your third sister more often and be more diligent. As long as you get more good things from her and help her sell them, the benefits of this will accumulate over time, and you can at least have a few baskets..."
Chen Daming listened, thought about it seriously, and then nodded.
He felt that what his mother said was quite right.
In just these few days, he earned dozens of cents from his third sister.
This money is much easier to make than running around those villages every day to sell those worthless needles and thread.
"Mom, don't worry. I will visit my third sister often in the future..."
After he sold these tiger skin plasters and earned some money, he picked up some food and ran to her place.
At this moment, Chen Xuanxuan had no idea that her mother and brother had already started to speculate about her.
If she knew, she would not care.
