"How can you say that? You are my daughter-in-law, and the children are my grandchildren. Isn't it your responsibility to take care of them? As for you, I heard Zhengchuan say that the business in the county town is booming these days. Xiaoli, don't work too hard. Why do we need so much money? Isn't it enough to have enough food?"
"That's right, your mother-in-law is right. The life we have now is really unmatched in the whole village. You don't have enough to eat or drink outside, and you still have to worry about your family and your children. Look at you, you've lost weight."
Su Li smiled, "I know you feel sorry for me, it's okay, I'm not talking about how much money I want to make, but mother, I have the ability to make everyone live a better life, I want to make an effort, you see Xiaorong and Erni in the village, they live such a hard life, I am lucky to have two kind mothers like you, I'm not a bad person, I want everyone, but as long as they are decent, our family can make money and give poor girls a job to make a living, I think it's good."
It was only at this time that the two people realized what Su Li was thinking. Yes, if they wanted to live a good life, their family life was already good now. Xie Zhengchuan was now the deputy director, and Su Li could make money by writing books. Even now, she could still receive a share of one or two thousand yuan every month. Why bother working so hard and running a garment factory?
It turned out that he was thinking about helping everyone live a good life and helping the suffering girl to have a place to settle down.
At this moment, the two old ladies felt more and more softened as they looked at Su Li.
Su Li sat on the bed and moved her butt. Her hand touched a bag. Then she remembered what she had brought with her. She quickly took it out and took out two sandalwood boxes.
"Mother, wife, this is what I gave you in the county, you try it."
Xie Qi and Ruiying looked at each other, and as they looked at the box handed over, their hearts trembled.
When I opened it, I found it was a pair of gold bracelets, but they were the most common style, except that there was a lotus pattern on it, which was also very beautiful.
Xie Qi's hands were shaking with fear, "Oh my God."
The sound was a bit loud and scared Jingyu. She hurriedly put down the bracelet and patted her grandson. Jingyu frowned and waved her little hands. After being comforted, she continued to sleep soundly.
Xie Qi continued, "My third daughter-in-law, why did you buy me such an expensive thing? It scared me to death. Please put it away quickly. I don't want it."
Ruiying was also frightened, but she calmed down a little, "Xiao Ni, look at how scared your mother-in-law is, but she is right, taking care of children is what we old people should do, and we threw it all to you without asking. Then the children will call us grandma and grandma in the future, and we will feel guilty. We can't say it out loud. You don't have to give us anything, so how can we not take care of them? You can keep them for yourself."
"That's right, Third Brother's wife, why are you being so polite to mother? I don't want it. Keep it for yours, my dear. It's your duty as a daughter to show respect to you. You've lived here for so long to take care of the children, and you haven't been there many times. You've worked so hard."
"What are you talking about, sister? Isn't it my duty to take care of several children? Besides, there's nothing to do at home, and the landowner's work is done. I don't need one more person, and there are no children to take care of at home. It won't be a problem for me to take care of them here."
Su Li felt warm at the sight of the two mothers interacting with each other. She knew that her mother-in-law was worried that her younger brother had a child and Ruiying didn't go to take care of him, so she was afraid that there would be unhappiness in the Su family. But everything was obviously fine at home. Even Wu Yanhong would come to the store to help when she was free these days. Su Li gave a commission of fifty cents to one yuan to anyone she brought to buy clothes. In just these few days, she earned seventy or eighty yuan and was extremely happy.
Before the two of them could say anything, Su Li held down the hands of the two women who were about to hand the things to her.
"Okay, what I bought for you is yours, keep it. When my daughter makes money in the future, she will buy you other expensive things."
After Su Li finished speaking, he took the bracelets and put them on the hands of the two old ladies. After putting them on, Su Li looked at them carefully.
"It's really beautiful. Look how luxurious it is."
The two old ladies looked at her childish words, smiled at each other, and thought, "Never mind, it's the child's filial piety after all. Just keep it and give it to your granddaughter as a dowry in the future."
Su Li felt relieved, "Okay, mother and wife, you guys take a rest, I'll go cook."
Xie Qi put down the bracelet and said, "I'll go. You just came home, you should thank me sincerely."
Su Li got off the kang and held Xie Qi down, "Mom, I'm not tired. The children also want to eat the food I cook. You and my mom can take a break. It won't be a problem."
After leaving the room, Su Li took all the dishes to be prepared into the kitchen and started to scrub the pots, wash the vegetables, and cook. Except for the fried bananas and candied apples ordered by Baoya, all the dishes ordered by the children took time to prepare. But it was getting late and Xie Zhengchuan would be home soon.
She wanted to finish the job quickly, so she cooked a few dishes first, stewed a pot of rice, then made a pot of sweet and sour pork, a dish of spicy and sour potato shreds, a pot of chicken soup, fried bananas, made a plate of candied apples, took out a small plate of pan-fried dumplings and a small pot of spicy soup from the space, and also took out a small pot of boiled beef.
As soon as this was done, Xie Zhengchuan arrived home.
Su Li shook the water off her hands, leaned sideways and stuck her head out, and said to Xie Zhengchuan, "It's time to eat. Go and ask the children to move the stools."
Xie Zhengchuan parked his bike and said with a raised corner of his mouth: "Okay, why are you cooking today?"
Su Li was holding two plates. "I haven't been home for a few days. The kids are acting cute. Make them something delicious. I've been busy lately and have neglected them a bit."
Xie Zhengchuan felt bad when he heard her say that. He took the dish from her and said, "Thank you for your hard work, wife. If there is anything I can do, you must tell me."
"Yes, you introduced Pang Wei and Zhang Lai to me last time, and they really helped me a lot. I know you only introduced two people because you were afraid that I would be burdened, but what can I do? Xie Zhengchuan, your wife is too outstanding. Now we are short of manpower. Pang Wei is capable and can help me manage the warehouse. Zhang Lai looks shy but is actually eloquent and can do sales in the county. He should learn to negotiate contracts from Wang Hong. I still need ten people, four to help me transport goods, four to help move goods in the garment factory, and the remaining two to help me guard the garment factory. The people in the army have learned it and are all capable people."
Xie Zhengchuan said hoarsely, "Okay, wife, I thank you on behalf of my comrades. I will contact them tomorrow. Most of them have had a hard time living after retiring from the army. Even if they can lease land now, they still have a hard time without splitting up the family."
"Well, I know, I know. When the garment factory is stable, you can help me find a suitable factory to sell in the county. I want to build a furniture factory so that He Rui and others can come to work and no longer have to do odd jobs."
"good."
The meal completely calmed the children down. They kept calling for "Mom, Mom". Fortunately, Jinghui and the others were well behaved, so Su Li told them stories after the meal. Tomorrow is their last day of school, and then they will have a holiday. Su Li plans to visit the garment factory tomorrow morning and stay at home with the children in the afternoon.
She hugged Baoya and sat on the edge of the kang. The four radish-headed girls looked at her and listened to their mother's soft storytelling. Oh, tonight's story was about how Sun Wukong made a riot in the Flaming Mountain and accepted Red Boy as his godson.
