Ye Yuran looked at him and felt a little weird: "You don't want to buy it, but you don't have the conditions at that time? The worst cotton costs sixteen cents a foot. How can we afford it with so many people in our family?"

"Now that they have grown up, it will be harder to buy them if they are more fertile, right?" Old Man Zhu said.

Ye Yuran poured him a cup of tea: "Well, that's why I asked each of them to pay first, and the rest will be subsidized by the public. However, this subsidy is not free and will have to be paid back next year."

"How can they have money?"

"Why don't you have any money?" Ye Yuran said, "You have forgotten that the fourth family does business every day, and the others help. Except for the share paid to the public, the money is divided equally among them."

"What, you really let them pinch the money?!" Old Man Zhu thought she was just talking, but he didn't expect that she had gone crazy this year and actually let several daughters-in-law pinch the money?

He couldn't believe it. Which mother-in-law would usually divide the money among several daughters-in-law?

"If we don't let them make money by themselves, will they be more active in their work? Look how good it is now. I only need to assign the tasks well, and they will be active in everything in order to make money quickly. And I don't have to worry about anything, every day

Isn't it great to make money? When I had so much responsibility in the past, I never saw how much money I had in my hands."

Nothing was in her hands. Ye Yuran didn't know why. The reason why they were so "pleasing" with her now was just because she was willing to "give money" to them.

If you have money in your hands, you will not panic.

Old Zhu didn't say anything this time. It's not that he didn't see the recent changes in his family, it's just that he couldn't accept them for a while.

It turned out that he was the pillar of the family, and everyone revolved around him. It was like overnight, they all had their own "support" and no longer needed him.

He was alone, and it felt as if he had been abandoned by the whole world. The gap was a bit too big.

"How much energy can one person have if he has to take care of everything? I'm too lazy to take care of them. They can do whatever they want, as long as they get the things I told them done." Ye Yuran said pointedly, "One by one.

They are going to be father and mother soon, but they still ask me everything all the time, what’s the point of giving birth to them? Isn’t it just for having them to enjoy themselves? Now that they are all grown up, they should let them make their own decisions.

We need to support the whole family. If we don’t let them struggle at this time, when we really can’t do anything anymore, if they can’t do anything, then it will be too late.”

"Okay, why are you talking about this?" Obviously, Old Man Zhu is not as open-minded as Ye Yuran, and he doesn't want to "retire" yet.

Ye Yuran has no way to deal with this "retirement syndrome". He needs to figure it out by himself.

She said: "Why can't we say it anymore? We are all grandfathers and grandmothers. We have given birth to so many sons. If we don't let them raise us, why give birth to them? You have nothing to do, and you just mess around all day long.

You have been working so hard all day long, but they are relieved. Do you have the ability to support their sons and daughters, and also provide them with their care until the end of their lives?"

"What you said is too unpleasant. Is it allowed to say such things as old age and retirement?" Mr. Zhu said with a taboo look on his face.

Ye Yuran rolled his eyes.

She knew that the ancients were taboo about this and that, as if they would not die if they tabooed it.

"If you think my words are unpleasant, then talk to me less. Every time you speak, I get very angry." Ye Yuran said.

"Are you so angry? I'm going to be mad at you." Old Man Zhu complained, "You don't know your temper. Everything you say is like a cigarette stick. Every word you say can choke someone to death.

."

"That's because I'm right, but you don't listen to me. How can I not be angry?"

"How do you know what you said is right? You are right about everything, so you are not wrong at all?"

"What could I have done wrong?" Ye Yuran asked him to point it out.

I don’t think Old Man Zhu has told the truth a lot, why she is too straight-tempered and too fierce; why she is always ready to carry a knife; many people from all over the country secretly call her an "old godly woman"; why she always refuses to give him face outside.

, now people say he is a "waste"...

Ye Yuran: "..." Is it important to have face?

He can express so many "dissatisfactions" so quickly, and he must have been complaining about it in his heart for more than one day.

I don’t know how many things have accumulated since he got married to the original owner.

To be honest, regarding the issue of "man's face", Ye Yuran didn't know how to comfort him. One was that she was not the original owner and had no feelings for him; the other was that she also felt that Mr. Zhu would be like this because he had nothing to do.

Xiande, to put it mildly, is pretentious.

No matter how bad the original owner was, others would suffer a lifetime of suffering along with him. He had so many sons and was so busy that he never enjoyed a single day of happiness until his death. What else did he want?

Is it all the original owner's fault that he's having a hard time?

"So, you think I'm too cruel and you want to settle the general ledger with me?" Ye Yuran waited for him to finish, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Okay, if you want to do the calculation, we'll do it."

Old man Zhu seemed a little scared and shrank his neck: "No, no, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to say... I just wanted to say, when will you move back? You see, we have been sleeping separately for a long time."

"Lao Qi's concussion has healed? When you sleep in your son's room, is his bed not wide enough or his room not big enough? He can sleep in it, but you can't?" When Ye Yuran heard this, he immediately

He retorted back.

Just kidding, she wishes she could sleep in a separate room with Old Man Zhu all the time. If he moves back, will she be able to live peacefully at night?

"It's been so long, the seventh child doesn't need to be taken care of anymore... Besides, besides, it's really been a long time since we last..."

Ye Yuran didn't let him go on: "How old are you? You can't think about anything else? You can do the math for yourself. How many acres of land in our family are there? Can your sons get all of it? Also, the fourth child

My wife is about to give birth. There will be two or three babies in each room, which will add up to more than ten babies. Do you think our family can afford to raise them like this now?"

"Why can't you afford it?" Old Man Zhu was unconvinced, "Didn't the third child and the others start fishing? The daughters-in-law started to make money. They could have children, but they couldn't support them? I was the same way back then.

He gave birth to himself and raised him himself.”

"But the land was given by my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and I bought it by pawning my dowry." As the eldest young master's housemate, how could the original owner not have anything close to him?

When the original owner was "sold", she was allowed to go back to pack her luggage and secretly hid a few gold and silver jewelry on her body.

If not for these, how could Old Man Zhu have been able to support so many sons by farming alone?

"But I planted the land. If I didn't plant it, it would be useless for you to buy the land."

"I didn't say you didn't plant it. What I'm saying now is that our land is simply not enough for planting. There are so many mouths to feed at home, and we can't feed them with the previous planting methods. So we need to 'think about changes when we are poor'. If we don't

If the 'change' occurs, the whole family will starve to death." Ye Yuran emphasized to him that the life at home was still so sad, so don't think about all these things. If you have this time, you might as well think more about how to provide for the family.
