Chapter 214 It’s great to have a mother like you!
Mother Zhou glared at Zhou Gui and said angrily, "You are so unforgiving with your words. You need to change this bad habit.
When you get to the Shen family, control your temper and don't say sarcastic words that will upset your mother-in-law. The conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are accumulated from trivial matters in daily life.
You should not take advantage of Shen Bohang's love and indulge yourself. Men will try their best to please and make concessions for things they cannot get. Once they get it, their competitive spirit is satisfied and they will not cherish it as much.
Especially after years of living together, the novelty gradually wears off, and you have a bad temper, so he will completely lose his patience.
If it were an ordinary person, he could still inherit it after a lot of quarrels. After all, marrying a wife is a high price.
But Shen Bohang is different. He grew up in a wealthy family and has seen many women. If he is bewitched by any woman, you will be the one who suffers.
The Shen family and we are separated by a district and a river. If you have a conflict, we won't be able to mediate in time. You'll have to rely on yourself for everything.
I am not telling you to be tolerant all the time, as that will make you appear easy to bully. As long as you are right, you can refute with confidence and give an appropriate lesson.
But you must act within your ability, don't act impulsively and put yourself at risk. Calm the person down first, then come back to us. I will bring your brothers and cousins to help you seek justice!"
The Zhou family had never told anyone about the Shen family's situation before.
Zhou Gui's wedding was approaching, and those who had a good relationship with Zhou's mother and those who processed scraps of cloth in the clothing store came to give gifts and congratulate him. Only then did Zhou's mother reveal a few things.
It was not until then that Zhou's mother realized that in the eyes of the people of Jiangcheng, marrying across districts meant marrying far away.
While everyone congratulated Zhou's mother, they also felt sorry that Zhou Gui had married far away and if she was bullied by her in-laws, they would not be able to help in time.
After hearing so much, Zhou's mother felt a little nervous and regretted not letting the Shen family buy a house near Chang'anli.
Now that things have come to this, there is no point in regretting. Zhou's mother can only rely on her own experience and what she has seen and heard to teach Zhou Gui some ways to maintain the relationship between husband and wife and deal with family conflicts...
Zhou Gui listened, nodded in approval, took Zhou's mother's arm, and said coquettishly: "It's great to have a mother like you!
Don't worry, Shen Bohang and I have agreed that if he dares to do anything to let me down, he should jump into the river himself, otherwise I will leave no trace of his body!
My elder sister said that men cannot be spoiled. They will constantly challenge your bottom line. If you give in once, they will become more and more demanding and unscrupulous.
As long as I don't rely on men and can be self-reliant, I'm not afraid even if Shen Bohang changes his mind, because he will be the one who suffers in the end anyway."
Mother Zhou: “…”
Zhou Gui: "Okay, let's not talk about Shen Bohang anymore, let's get back to the point. I can take the quilt, clothes and other items, and leave the bicycle to Dad.
He has to borrow my sister's car to go to the factory every day. Sometimes he comes back late and my sister has to walk to work. If my father had a bicycle, it would be convenient for everyone.
I went to work at the tax bureau. Since I had a college degree, my salary increased a lot. Together with my previous savings, I had no shortage of money.
You don't have to keep it in my box. I don't want the 200 yuan from the Shen family either. Keep it and buy whatever you want to eat. Don't treat yourself badly."
Mother Zhou: "No! You are still young and don't understand some social customs. The dowry and treasures given to you represent the thoughts of your family and are also for your in-laws and neighbors to see.
The more we value you, the less they will dare to look down on you. You will understand when you have children in the future and your children start their own families.
You don't need to argue with me about this, just do as I say."
Zhou Gui couldn't convince her mother, so she could only accept her mother's good intentions...
Zhou Cai would not be home until tomorrow night. While Zhou Gui and Zhou's mother were counting the dowry, Zhou Rong pulled Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Chuanjing into his room, saying that he had something important to discuss.
Zhou Chuanyi saw Zhou Rong had bolted the door and asked curiously, "What's going on? Why are you so mysterious?!"
Zhou Rong opened his mouth with a bang: "Uncle, do you want to make Zhoujiawan rich, and let the villagers remember your name for generations, and make you famous forever?"
If these words came from someone else, Zhou Chuanyi would definitely think that the other person was a liar or was deliberately playing a trick on him.
But Zhou Rong was different. She divorced when no one was optimistic about her, and took her three children to the city to make a living. Not only did she live a good life, but her parents and brothers also benefited from it.
It can be seen that he has some ability.
Zhou Chuanyi asked with great interest: "Tell me about it!"
Zhou Rong: "It is said that if you live by the mountains, you can make a living by the mountains; if you live by the water, you can make a living by the water. If Zhoujiawan wants to become prosperous, it must make full use of the surrounding environment. This will not only save costs but also maximize profits."
Zhou Chuanjing asked puzzledly: "Zhoujiawan is in a valley, surrounded by some low mountains or earth slopes. It is impossible to cultivate it to grow crops. Otherwise, we would not have been poor for generations. In such an environment, do you have a way to make money?"
Zhou Rong: "Well! Those low hills and earth slopes cannot be used to grow crops, but we can use them to grow fruit trees, such as peach trees, pear trees, apple trees, plums, persimmons, apricots, dates, citrus, loquats, grapes, etc.
In the place where we plant fruit trees, we can also raise chickens, sheep, and pigs. We can also cultivate some land on the slopes to grow vegetables. As long as it is edible, we can grow it. "
Zhou Chuanyi thought Zhou Rong had some special and good method, but it turned out that he asked them to plant fruit trees and vegetables.
He said with a hint of disappointment: "There are many wild peaches, persimmons and apples in the mountains, they are sour and astringent and taste terrible.
Some families in the village also grow plum, date and orange trees. I don’t know if it’s because of the soil and climate, but I’ve tasted them and except for the dates, the others are not tasty and are prone to infestation with insects.
Previously, a buyer went to the countryside to collect grain. I asked him if he would buy fruit. He took a bite, shook his head, and said that the taste was not good and it would be difficult to sell in the city.
As for growing vegetables, you can give it a try, but if the villagers want to make a fortune from growing radishes and cabbages for a penny, how long will it take?"
Zhou Chuanjing continued, "The road to the village is difficult to travel, and many buyers are unwilling to come. If the villagers grow vegetables in large quantities and cannot sell them, they will definitely blame us, and then we will have good intentions but end up doing something bad.
There is another point, which is also what worries me the most. The distributed land has been taken over by the collective, and even the livestock raised by each household must be strictly controlled and they must complete the tasks.
I read in the newspaper that all the shops in the city have been transformed into public-private partnerships, which suggests that the organization is against people doing business.
We plant a lot of trees and vegetables in the village. If someone reports us, we might be fired, but if we are arrested and imprisoned for a few years, wouldn’t that be a waste of time?”
Zhou Chuanyi reacted and said fearfully: "You have considered it carefully. I didn't even think of this. This is too risky and the benefits are too small. I can't do it!
Darong, thank you for caring about the village, but we have elderly parents and young children to take care of, and we have our own difficulties. We cannot adopt your suggestions, please understand. "
Zhou Rong smiled and said, "Uncle Chuan Jing and Uncle Chuan Yi's concerns are justified. I understand and have thought about it in advance, but I haven't finished speaking yet. After you listen to me, you can make your own judgment on whether this can be done."
Zhou Chuanyi: "Okay, you go ahead."
(Today is the college entrance examination. I wish all the students success in the exam, a bright future, a wonderful harvest, and happiness!)
