The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 174: Don’t Slack Off on Rough Work

Shen's mother has now come to terms with it. She doesn't necessarily have to rely on the eldest son for support in her old age. With the eldest son's behavior, she and her old man will probably be miserable if they follow him. They won't have a happy day, and the other sons will become alienated from her.

But as long as I have the right attitude and am fair and just, the situation will be very different. Even if I live alone with the old man in the future, the second, third and fifth sons will not ignore the old couple. Moreover, they are not greedy for the old couple's things. They just want to treat us equally.

Shen's mother continued to cheer up and make cakes with Liu Ying and Xiuxiu. The two of them also secretly told Shen Xiuxiu how much money they had earned since making cakes.

"Earning so much? Mom, did you calculate it correctly?" Shen Xiuxiu was surprised that Shen's mother and Liu Ying earned so much money.

"Girl, what are you talking about? Your mother has been the housekeeper for so many years, how come she can't even figure out the accounts? I always have to do the math with your second sister-in-law several times."

Shen Xiuxiu sighed, "Mom, sister-in-law, you two earn too much. Who would have thought that you two could earn money just by staying at home all day."

Liu Ying also smiled and said, "This is all thanks to your third brother and his wife. If it weren't for them, how could my mother and I make money? Moreover, she also taught us several kinds of pastries, each of which is delicious. Since the children in our family have learned to make pastries, they have not been deprived."

Shen's mother also agreed, "That's right, your third sister-in-law has many ideas for making money, your second sister-in-law and I don't have to worry about anything, we just need to make the cakes and wait for the money."

Shen Xiuxiu knew that her third sister-in-law was a well-educated and thoughtful person, and that she would definitely be good if she worked with her third sister-in-law. She was trying her best to help her family change their current lives.

"Mom, second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law are helping our family. You have to work hard and not cause trouble for them," Shen Xiuxiu thought that she should give more instructions to the two of them, especially her mother, who is easily influenced by other people's words when she is old.

"That's for sure. Mother doesn't trust anyone now. She won't listen to anyone except your third sister-in-law. Your third sister-in-law is also very good to mother. As soon as the heavy snow stopped a few days ago, she sent vegetables, meat, and malted milk to her parents' home and ours. She is very filial."

"It's good that you think clearly. You can't be like those aunties in the village. When they see their daughter-in-law bringing something to her parents' home, they get psychologically unbalanced and go to their third sister-in-law's house to cause trouble. We don't like that."

Shen's mother knew that her daughter was afraid that she would make a mistake and affect the relationship with the third brother's family, but she was not a confused person and she understood it without her saying anything.

"Girl, do I need to teach you this? I know that it is right for your third sister-in-law to help her family. Besides, your third sister-in-law's family is not like your eldest sister-in-law's family, which is full of vampires."

Liu Ying also smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Mom, this shows that our Xiuxiu has grown up and has figured out everything. She can even worry about you, which is a good thing."

Shen's mother could also feel the changes in her daughter since she went to school in the county. She was no longer the little girl working in the fields. Her spirit seemed to be becoming more and more like the third son's wife. How did she put it? Yes, confident, becoming more and more confident. This is a good thing. Who doesn't want their daughter to live a good life?

Xiao Baoer, Shen Zhensheng and Shen's father entered Shen Yongfu's house one after another. The two of them were talking to Shen Yongfu and asked him to use the village loudspeaker to announce the recruitment matter later. Several of them also discussed the wording.

Just as he finished speaking, Shen's father arrived. Aunt Song Yun asked him to come into the house, saying that the third son and his wife were also there.

"Dad, why are you here with me?" Shen Zhensheng asked his taciturn father.

"Third brother, I'm going to talk to your uncle about something he wants to give me. You and your wife should come and listen."

The two of them sat down again, and Shen's father also sat down. He took out the certificate written by Shen Xiuxiu with her fingerprints on it from his pocket and handed it to Shen Yongfu.

Shen Yongfu opened it and asked in surprise, "Third brother, have you really decided? You will not care about the life and death of this family anymore?"

Father Shen nodded and took a sip of water. "Yes, the eldest child has been released. Since they are determined to let her into the family, this is how his mother and I will deal with it. The eldest child is already a loser, and I can't let him drag down my other children in the future. What he will be like in the future is his destiny."

After hearing this, Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng understood roughly what was going on. Wang Xiang had returned, but her parents did not agree to let her enter the house. The eldest family agreed to certain conditions on which her parents agreed to let Wang Xiang enter the house.

As for the conditions of agreement, the two of them didn't know the specifics because they hadn't seen the certificate, but they could make a rough guess. It was probably about severing the relationship with the first wife.

After saying that, Shen's father went home. He had to go home to make a fire. Some cakes were baked in the oven, but some were steamed in a pot. His daily task was to make a fire. The second son watched the oven for baking things. Everyone in the family had their own tasks, so he would not worry too much about them.

After Shen's father left, Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer chatted with Shen Yongfu for a few more words, and then they went home. Shen Yongfu went to the village branch and used a loudspeaker to announce the recruitment.

"Hey, hey, hey, all our villagers, please listen carefully, especially the women. Shen Zhensheng's wife works as a fashion designer in the county clothing factory. Now she has received special approval from the factory and is planning to recruit workers in our village to make clothes for the factory on a long-term basis.

There are special people to cut the cloth, and others only need to sew clothes according to the size. They will be paid 5 cents for each piece of clothing, but they must ensure that the clothes are sewn without any problems and cannot slack off or do rough work.

This time the couple wants to recruit about 15 people in the village. The number of places is limited. If our female comrades have any questions, they can come to Shen Zhensheng's old yard tomorrow morning, which is also the place where we will sew clothes in the future. We can ask in person tomorrow morning, and Zhensheng's wife will answer us in person.

You can discuss with your family whether you want to do this and earn this money. This is a rare opportunity, so you must seize it. "

The news that Shen Yongfu said on the loudspeaker caused a stir in Xingfu Village. Is this true? Can you make money by sewing clothes? A piece of clothing costs 5 cents, and men only get or cents for a day's hard work. How can women earn more than men?

The wives of Li Dagou and Li Ergou also heard the news in the yard. They were eager to go. Why not do a job that could earn money while staying at home during the winter? Besides, sewing clothes is a common thing and not tiring.

"Sister-in-law, are you going?" Li Ergou's wife Wang Su'e asked Liu Yulan.

Liu Yulan seemed to have made up her mind and said firmly, "Go, of course. Making money so that my children can eat meat is more important than anything else."

Wang Su'e also felt that what her sister-in-law said made sense. "Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense. I will go with you."

The two sisters-in-law discussed it and agreed that their life was very tight and the child had not seen meat for a long time. If they could earn money, the child's life would be better.

Wang Pandi and the other three daughters-in-law were also whispering at home. The three daughters-in-law were very excited and wanted to go and listen to the job recruitment information tomorrow. It was really tempting to get 5 cents for sewing a piece of clothing. It would be a lot of money in a month.

Wang Pandan's face turned gloomy and she said nothing. Actually, she also wanted to go, but she had always had a bad relationship with Luo Jinhua, and she also had a lot of grudges with Shen Zhensheng and his wife. Even if she went, they would not let her do it, so why go and humiliate herself?

Everyone in the village has their own thoughts, but they all want to make money. Not only the villagers, but also some female educated youth in the educated youth sites want to give it a try.
