Mrs. Cheng straightened her back after being praised.
When they were in Chengjia Village, she and the old man were the top farmers, and the yields in the fields were always more than others. In this regard, she was second, and no one dared to be first.
She continued: "There is also a small yard here, where you can tidy up and raise chickens. Chickens in the capital are too expensive, costing forty or fifty cents per pound. This is a money grab. Eggs are also expensive. You will suffer if you eat like this every day." Can’t stop…”
Situ Man's expression froze.
She didn't know that farmyard manure was needed to grow vegetables, but she knew that raising chickens would produce excrement, which would make the yard stink.
She grew up in a boudoir, and the yard was scented with incense every three days. She couldn't stand the weird smell. However, this was her husband's grandmother in front of her. On the first day of her wedding, she disobeyed her grandmother's wishes. Would she? It would not be good...
She looked in the direction of Cheng Zhao. Cheng Zhao was pulled by Old Man Cheng. He didn't know what he was saying. When she looked over, Cheng Zhao happened to look over as well, and their eyes met in mid-air.
She could feel that her husband was worried that she would not be able to cope with her grandmother.
The nanny next to her has already spoken: "Old madam, this yard is really too small. It grows vegetables and raises chickens, and people in the yard can't leave... Our madam knows that my uncle has just settled in the capital and is short of money. We are well off, so I have specifically told you that our lady will arrange all the food and clothing expenses in this yard, so the old lady doesn’t have to worry about money."
Mrs. Cheng's face suddenly became tense: "No matter how poor our Cheng family is, we will never let a newly married daughter-in-law pay for these expenses. If this spreads out, where will our Cheng family's face be? "
She paused and said softly, "Xiaoman, just take care of the food and clothing of the people in your yard."
The wet nurse didn't dare to say anything more. In fact, she sent people to buy things early this morning. Didn't the Cheng family also enjoy their meal? Why did her face change as soon as she mentioned this to the public? This is posing You won't admit it when you get the advantage...
"My husband gave me a few hundred taels of silver this morning and said that from now on I can ask my husband to pay for food and clothing at home." Situ Man said with a smile, "My husband told me that he is in business and can make a lot of money. , Grandma, don’t worry about these things... By the way, Grandma is so good at growing vegetables, can I discuss something with Grandma?"
Mrs. Cheng nodded.
"My mother married me to a village in a village a mile away from our home. This village specializes in growing vegetables and selling them to people in the city." Situ Man sighed, "My mother said that the people in this village don't know how to farm. , the vegetables grown are too inferior and cannot be sold at high prices in the city, so they suffer losses every year... I have been thinking about finding some farmers to grow vegetables, but the results are the same everywhere. People in the capital do not have them. As someone who is good at farming, I wonder... could you please ask Grandma to come over and see where the problem lies?"
She said and held the old lady's arm affectionately.
"You've found the right person now." Old Mrs. Cheng was ironing with heart, "It's okay if you have nothing to do, so I'll just take a trip."
Situ Man continued: "Our yard is too small, and there is simply not enough space for Grandma to use her skills. Doesn't Grandpa know how to farm? It's not enough for you two to work on such a small piece of land. How about this, Grandpa?" How about I help grandma and grandma manage the village, and all the extra income this year will be counted as dividends for grandpa and grandma?"
Mrs. Cheng became thoughtful.
Even if this small piece of land is managed well, the vegetables grown can only be enough for the family, which is really not cost-effective.
A village has at least a hundred acres of land. Once it is completed, the yield per mu can be doubled, and the extra income will belong to the two elders.
After she calculated it carefully, she said: "We are all one family. If we talk about dividends, we will go out of our way. You are Zhao'er's wife. If Zhao'er is well, Zhao'er will be fine. If Zhao'er is fine, our whole family will be fine."
"My granddaughter-in-law asked grandma to do the hard work. The dividends are filial piety money. Grandma, don't refuse anymore." Situ Man looked at the nanny and said, "Take grandpa and grandma to the village. This village is the old man's. Liu Tou is in charge. From now on, I will leave it to my grandma. Old Liu Tou must obey grandma’s instructions in everything he does. If he doesn’t obey, he will just pay his wages and drive him away."
The nanny was extremely shocked. Old Liu Tou was a member of the madam’s natal family, so he was driven away like this. How could the madam explain...
However, when she saw the young lady blinking at her, she knew that all this was for Mrs. Cheng to see, so she immediately accepted the order: "Yes!"
Old Mrs. Cheng's heart was ironed to the extreme. This grandson's daughter-in-law did not marry wrong. She put her grandmother first, so she also had to support her grandson's daughter-in-law. If the eldest daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law, did something wrong in the future, she would be killed directly. .
The matter was settled, the wet nurse arranged a carriage, and the two elders of the Cheng family got on the carriage and headed to Zhuangzi where Situ Man was to be married.
Seeing the carriage go away, Situ Man breathed a sigh of relief, but she was also very happy in her heart. Her eldest sister and second sister married into a better family, but they had all kinds of small conflicts with her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law all day long, and there were intrigues everywhere. If she went If you are in that kind of family, even if you are not careful enough, it is better to have a small family. You don't need to set rules, and as long as you are willing to give up a little blood, you can appease the people in your husband's family.
"Xiao Man, thank you." Cheng Zhao stood next to her with a sincere voice, "I am very clear about some of the shortcomings of my family members. I am a member of the Cheng family and have the blood of the Cheng family. This is a responsibility I must bear. But You, in fact, don’t have to worry about these things. If you are willing to do so, it shows that you really treat them as family..."
"After I marry you, we will become a family." Situ Man said sheepishly, "Ms., your grandpa and grandma are actually not difficult to get along with."
"My grandma knows a lot about things. Grandpa has never cared about family affairs, but my mother has some..." Cheng Zhao paused. He never talked about his elders, but there are some things that he must make clear to his newlywed wife, "My mother is here I have lived in the village for thirty or forty years, and this is the first time in my life that I have come to live in the city. Some of her words don’t sit well with me, and some of my habits are different from those of people in the city. You should be more tolerant... But if my mother looks down on you, If you deliberately make things difficult, just come and tell me directly, and I won’t let you be wronged.”
Situ Man's heart felt as sweet as honey. As long as her husband was on her side, no matter how difficult it was for her husband's family to get along with her, she would accept it. Besides, she didn't find it difficult.
She secretly grabbed Cheng Zhao's hand and said sweetly: "Don't worry, sir, your family and I will definitely become a real family. Don't worry about these things at home."
Cheng Zhao returned to hold her hand, coughed and said, "I'll take you to serve tea to the second aunt."
The two got into the carriage, and Cheng Ding was responsible for driving the carriage. The carriage slowly drove into the capital, and finally stopped at the gate of the courtyard where Cheng Wanwan lived temporarily.
Cheng Wanwan got up early in the morning and was translating letters. There were twenty-three letters in total. Each letter had the same meaning, but differed in details. After she translated it, she compared the words of Daewoo Dynasty one by one. Mark it on the paper. As soon as she finished doing this, Mrs. Qi came in to report. Cheng Zhao and Situ Man came and sat in the yard drinking tea.
There was no front or back yard in this small courtyard. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the young couple looking at each other at the stone table in the courtyard, constantly spreading dog food.
Even though he is an old man, he is still forced to eat dog food, but this bowl of dog food is very delicious.
