After having the tricycle, the Zheng family's business was like a duck in water. The daily sales almost doubled, which made Zheng's father exclaim that it was worth it!
"Dandan, you're so far-sighted! The extra money we've made these past few days is enough to buy us a brand new tricycle, not to mention making back our investment." Zheng's father exclaimed, "I didn't expect tricycles to be so beneficial to our business."
He agreed at first, because he was actually attracted by the safety value of the tricycle.
"Our daughter is so smart. If she were a man, she would definitely become a great person." Sun Cuilan's face was full of pride.
"Men and women are equal. You don't have to be a man to stand tall and proud." Zheng Dandan looked at Sun Cuilan with an extremely serious tone.
Although Sun Cuilan never treated herself harshly, she was deeply patriarchal. She treated Pi Dan with great care, but ignored Da Niu. The poor little girl had no sense of existence at home.
"Mom, you should look at the girl more seriously in the future. She is your granddaughter. If she succeeds, won't you be proud too?"
"I feed her and clothe her, how can I not treat her well?" Sun Cuilan objected. She felt she had been good enough to her daughter, even sending her to a nursery. You know, those people in the village might not even give their granddaughters enough food!
"Yes, they have food and clothes, but it's nothing compared to preserved eggs." Raising a child is not just about providing food, clothing, shelter and transportation; emotional needs are also worthy of attention.
"How can Pidan be the same? He is a boy, and he will have to break basins and wear mourning clothes for us in the future. Da Niu is a girl, and she will grow up and get married. A daughter who is married is like spilled water."
"After I get married, I will be like spilled water." Zheng Dandan knew that it would be difficult to convince Sun Cuilan by herself, and she could only use magic to defeat magic, so she asked with pretended grievance.
Sun Cuilan was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Can you do the same?"
"What's different about me?" Zheng Dandan looked at Sun Cuilan in surprise. How could she not know what was special about her?
"You are my daughter, and you will still be the treasure in my heart even after you get married. After you get married, I will still treat you well, and I will also ask your brother and sister-in-law to continue to treat you well!" Sun Cuilan said righteously.
Zheng Dandan was choked by these words, full of great truths in her heart. No one is perfect, and although Sun Cuilan had various shortcomings, her deep motherly love for her was truly genuine.
"Mom, please pay more attention to the big girl in the future. She is usually quiet and timid, and I feel sorry for her when I see her." Zheng Dandan softened her tone and said coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, I got it." Sun Cuilan had no choice but to agree to Zheng Dandan.
"Thank you, Mom. When my daughter becomes successful in the future, she will definitely be filial to you." Zheng Dandan said while hugging Sun Cuilan.
"I can't count on you, but I hope you can succeed and live a good life!" Sun Cuilan looked at Zheng Dandan with a loving face.
The preference for boys over girls is a deep-rooted problem that can't be completely eradicated in a short period of time. It requires a gradual approach. After bringing this up, Zheng Dandan shifted the topic back to business.
"Now that I see the benefits of tricycles, I want to buy two more so that my eldest and second brothers can all ride. This way, not only can we earn more money, but my brothers and sisters-in-law won't have to work so hard."
"I agree. The money we earn from business is enough to buy several new cars." Zheng's father agreed.
"Why buy a new one? Let's go to the scrap yard, it's more than 200 yuan cheaper, and we don't even need an industrial ticket!" Sun Cuilan was used to being frugal. After getting a bargain at the scrap yard, she was a little reluctant to go to the department store to buy a new car.
"There aren't scrap yards available every day. We just took a chance last time and happened to be lucky enough to come across one." Zheng Dandan felt helpless.
"If there is no answer, just wait. I still don't believe that there is no answer." Sun Cuilan
"Buying a car is necessary. So, let's go to the scrap yard first. If there is one, we will give priority to turning it into treasure. If not, we will go to the department store. The cost of time is also money!" Zheng Dandan thought for a moment and looked at Sun Cuilan.
Of course, she would rather buy cheaper ones, but it is not worth wasting time for the sake of cheaper ones.
"Well, Mom will go with you tomorrow." At this point, Sun Cuilan suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Zheng Dandan, "When will the pork belly start selling? We can't just eat it all!"
"No rush, let's wait for the tricycle to arrive. We only have one tricycle now. It's okay to sell fruits alone, but if we add meat, it will make a lot of noise." Zheng Dandan replied.
Separately, each one is rare, but ordinary people just watch for fun. But put them together, it is shocking.
"Dandan is right. We should be cautious." Zheng's father supported.
In the evening, Zheng's brothers and sisters-in-law just came back from business and smelled the aroma of potatoes stewed with braised pork coming from the house, and their mouths watered immediately.
"Doing business is really good. We can eat meat every day." Third brother Zheng Jianjun said happily.
"If you know, then be grateful to your younger sister. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be able to do business." Sun Cuilan came out with the dishes and then announced, "Dinner is ready."
"Grandma, I want to eat meat!" The three-year-old Pidan pointed at the braised pork with potatoes and said to Sun Cuilan, while the big girl, who was also three years old, was unusually silent.
Upon hearing this, Sun Cuilan picked up a piece of preserved egg. In the process, she saw Da Nv and remembered what Zheng Dandan said, so she paused and picked up a piece of braised pork for Da Nv as well.
The big girl looked at Sun Cuilan in surprise, her face full of flattery, "Thank you, grandma." She was very polite at the age of three.
"I won't give it to her, all the food is mine!"
No one expected that Pi Dan would suddenly attack. He looked at the meat in Da Niu's bowl angrily, threw away his chopsticks, and tried to grab it with his hands. Zheng Jiangong had to stop him in time.
"What are you doing while eating?" Zheng Jiangong looked at Pi Dan with dissatisfaction.
"Dad, don't let her eat it. The meat is all mine. The little girl doesn't deserve to eat meat." Pi Dan yelled.
Zheng Jiangong's face turned very ugly when he heard this, and Zheng Jianye and his wife also turned pale in an instant.
Suddenly, the dinner table fell into silence.
Zheng Dandan's face darkened for a rare time: "Pidan, who taught you this?" A child couldn't say such words by himself.
"My third aunt-in-law told me." Seeing that the adults' faces looked strange, Pi Dan finally began to get scared and spoke in a low voice.
"How can you have a Third Aunt? She's not your Third Aunt!" Sun Cuilan, who was always kind to Pi Dan, said with a stern face. Because of a conflict in their youth, she had a bad relationship with her natal family, and even more with her Third Brother's family. Now that she knew what her Third Sister-in-law was teaching her children, she wanted to beat her up right away.
"Woo... I don't know..." Pi Dan was frightened by Sun Cuilan's tone and burst into tears.
"Don't cry." Zheng Dandan walked up to him, half-knelt down, and looked him straight in the eyes. "Pidan, can Auntie eat meat?"
"Auntie, burp~Okay." Pi Dan choked up and burped. Under the influence and education of his family, he respected and liked Zheng Dandan very much.
"But my aunt is also a girl!" Zheng Dandan said gently.
