Chapter 42 Tell the truth
"Ah? But...but my mother always said that Third Uncle just needs to study hard.
, the rest...the rest will be taken care of by your family.
, and we come to the city to make money, not only can it be easier for you, Third Uncle, to study in the academy, but we can also live a more relaxed life at home."
Yin didn't expect that Gu Jingcheng would come to talk to her about this.
, she uneasily repeated to Gu Jingcheng what Li usually told her: "For Third Uncle, studying hard is the most important thing."
"But you are always in danger when doing business in the city. I don't always happen to be able to stop by and help you solve your problems."
Gu Jingcheng didn't expect that Yin, who always had a soft temper, would refute his words.
, but he has always been very patient with his family members, and took the trouble to explain to her: "You and she are two women after all, and you have no power to protect yourself when encountering problems."
"What's wrong with women? Women can also make money based on their own abilities.
, Besides, Mr. Gu, will you give up studying because everyone’s articles are obscure and difficult to understand?
Will you give up on your future because it’s cold in the winter, there’s no charcoal fire for heating, and you can’t bend or stretch your fingers?”
After Su Xiaomu heard what the two of them said, she contradicted Gu Jingcheng with a cold smile.
: "Everyone has something he or she wants to do. My son wants to study for a better future, and we also want to do business to save more money for our family.
, let alone living in this world, how can one stop eating because of choking, or give up moving forward when encountering a little difficulty on the road?"
"Boss Su is a woman, but she is very talkative despite her young age.
, Gu thinks that the food business is not suitable for you. If you want to make money, you might as well become a storyteller."
When Gu Jingcheng saw Su Xiaomu coming to talk to him, he knew that what he said today was in vain again.
He wasn't annoyed either, but he kept glancing at Yin from the corner of his eye.
He knows what his sister-in-law is like.
, people in the family always put him first in everything, even if they don’t take every word of his as a golden rule, they will always listen to it.
As long as the sister-in-law goes back and has a good talk with my mother, there will be a powerful relationship, and my mother is so smart that she will not know about it.
Thinking about this, Gu Jingcheng didn't want to continue spending time with the two of them here. He glanced at Zhou Lin and said, "Master said that we need to read an article, so we have to go back to the academy early."
"Okay, but Boss Su, can I ask you one last question? What do you mean by what you just said about not being able to eat because of choking?"
After Zhou Lin heard the word she said, he searched his head for a long time, but could not find any memory related to the word.
It shouldn’t be. How could a little woman understand something that he has never learned as a scholar?
So he looked at Su Xiaomu's eyes, which were full of desire for knowledge, and made her laugh.
: "Now you have to go back and ask Mr. Gu carefully. I think no one in this world understands the meaning better than Mr. Gu."
Why don't you give up eating because of choking? Since there are some things that people have to give up, why not give them a try first?
If the scholar is unwilling to go home and farm, the businessman is willing to spend all his wealth to live in poverty?
Since no one can convince anyone, and we know that things cannot happen, it is better to just avoid this boring topic.
"Boss Su is indeed very articulate."
Gu Jingcheng finished speaking.
, Zhou Lin actually heard the smell of gnashing of teeth next to him.
Chapter 48: Talk about truth
Zhou Lin and Gu Jingcheng helped pack their things for a while and then returned to the academy. Su Xiaomu and Yin Shi were not in a hurry to go home first, but went to the dock to sell out the remaining meat buns before pushing the trolley back.
"Although I'm unlucky today, everything is sold out."
"Let's go back and discuss it carefully. If it doesn't work out, we won't set up a stall in front of the academy in the future. It's also good to go to the pier."
Su Xiaomu had to think carefully about how to discuss this store with the Yin family.
The two of them do business together every day. If something happens now, they have to be on the same front.
"But...but the third uncle said just now."
Mrs. Yin kept thinking about what Gu Jingcheng had just said to persuade her, and she looked quite flustered and uneasy.
: "If our products are sold well, we will inevitably take away other people's business. Even if we go to the dock, we may encounter the same thing as today."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Yin's face was full of fear.
: "Uncle San is right. We are not always lucky enough to meet them to save us. If next time..."
"What about next time?" Su Xiaomu grabbed Yin and asked her to stop. She stared into her eyes and asked her, "What would we do without them?"
"It will...be more dangerous."
Ms. Yin was a little confused by Su Xiaomu's sudden pull. She didn't expect that her usually gentle sister-in-law would be so serious and serious when talking to her one day.
Even at this moment, Ms. Yin realized that she was hallucinating. Her sister-in-law's eyes seemed to be hardened with ice. She couldn't help but shudder when she saw it in broad daylight.
Su Xiaomu wanted to laugh. Cleaning had been following her for so long, but it was not worth a few words from Gu Jingcheng.
Ms. Yin continued, "Xiaomu, my sister-in-law knows that you want to do business to make more money so that your family can become better. But we are two women after all, and we have to think more about our own safety..."
When Yin said this, her eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, they were women after all, so they had to think about themselves. So she calmed down instantly, and every word she said after that had a preaching tone.
"Third uncle said that he can already make money by himself... We just need to live our own lives at home."
"Does the sister-in-law dare to tell my mother to let my husband study and work at the same time?"
Su Xiaomu sighed and suppressed the coldness in his eyes.
Su Xiaomu secretly sneered a few times in her heart. She pulled the smile off her face and said: "My sister-in-law told me before that I need to earn more money so that the children can live a better life. Ruotong will get married in a few years."
Now, if my sister-in-law doesn’t earn her a dowry, who will care about her? Could she point at my mother and reveal some from between her nails to give to her granddaughter?”
"Sister-in-law has forgotten that it's time for Ruonan to learn a craft.
, it’s good that she follows the second sister-in-law to sew and mend all day long, but the second sister-in-law may not be generous enough to hand over all the embroidery skills to her children?
, I don’t care about it. If I don’t have to do business, I can still live a good life at home. In short, I don’t have to get up early and stay up late every day to drive this mountain road.”
Su Xiaomu just wanted to let Mr. Yin think clearly.
It's because she has two children to raise, and two daughters who are pointing her to earn money and find a way out.
After saying that, Su Xiaomu didn't waste any more words and silently pushed the car forward.
Mr. Yin was left standing there blankly for a long time.
Yes, why was she so selfish just now and only thought about herself?
The boss gets up early every day and goes to the fields late at night. He only earns a small amount of money in a year, and most of it is given to his third uncle to study.
Third uncle makes money... Third uncle makes money...
How much money can he, a weak scholar, earn throughout the year?
Why don't you point out their family...
And two children...
When Ms. Yin thought about this, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew over, freezing her from head to toe.
After waking up, she immediately chased Su Xiaomu, pulling her and saying with firm eyes.
: "Sister-in-law was confused just now. Our business must continue, but Xiaomu, tell me, do we really have to sell meat buns at the dock next time?"
"Of course not. In fact, I have already chosen a shop. As long as my mother nods when I go back, we will no longer have to go to the entrance of the academy to squeeze with them."
Yin's eyes widened in disbelief. Su Xiaomu was with her almost all the time. Where did she find the time to visit the shop?
Could it be just the brief moment we were apart today?
It's impossible, is her sister-in-law so capable?
It takes such a short time to get things done in the shop.
She looked suspicious: "Where is the shop? How is the location? How much is the monthly rent? If it is too expensive, my mother will definitely not agree."
