"Why is it not easy to intervene? You are her son, isn't it natural for you to help? She can hire other employees, how can she not trust her own son?" Li Yongsheng said doubtfully.
Liu Zongqiang made a wry smile and said: "My mother always calls me to report good news but not bad news. I really don't know much about her. How many people does her cassava factory employ now?"
"There are two to three hundred people, all from our village and surrounding villages. People in our government like her now. They say she has promoted employment and economic development in the village. They even gave her an award last time. , but she is so famous, so many people envy her... Our people are all vying to get in her factory. If I didn't go to school for my son, I wouldn't even want to work. I might as well join your factory. The salary is not low anyway. , the benefits are also good." Li Yongsheng said gushingly.
Liu Zongqiang was attracted by the two to three hundred people he mentioned. A factory with two to three hundred people is no longer a small factory, but a big factory. Moreover, the government is very supportive, and there must be other supportive policies. , doesn’t this mean that it is developing very well?
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly became hot and excited, and his whole body seemed to be filled with strength in an instant. He no longer felt tired, but was extremely excited.
His previous dissatisfaction with Chen Shichu has long since disappeared, and now he only thinks about how to make up for the relationship with Chen Shichu, coax her, and preferably coax her to give him the factory...
With his wishful thinking in mind, he suppressed the anxiety in his heart and chatted absentmindedly with Li Yongsheng for a while before the two separated. He immediately went home and told Zhao Shuwen about the matter.
"You said your mother opened a cassava factory in her hometown and it was very successful and she made a lot of money? Is it true or false?" Zhao Shuwen couldn't believe her ears, and her voice couldn't help but become sharp, and she asked It wasn't that she was making a fuss, it was just that she couldn't imagine that her mother-in-law, whom she had always looked down upon, could accomplish such a big thing.
"It's true. I've confirmed it with my elementary school classmate several times, and I checked the local news in my hometown. There are indeed reports about my mother's factory." Liu Zongqiang said excitedly, and turned on his phone to find out the reports.
Zhao Shuwen felt a little confused when she read the report. How could the old guy suddenly become a successful township entrepreneur? Is this still the submissive mother-in-law in her memory? Oh, when my mother-in-law took care of her and left after her confinement, she did seem to suddenly wake up. Did she start to change from that time?
Zhao Shuwen looked at the article again. The "inspirational peasant woman" in the title "Inspiring peasant women build cassava factories and lead the villagers to get rich together" refers to Chen Shichu. The report said that she had only studied for a few years and had little cultural knowledge. However, he taught himself e-commerce knowledge and assisted village cadres in setting up study classes to teach everyone how to do e-commerce together. Later, for the convenience of the villagers, he built the only cassava processing factory... This article shaped Chen Shichu's image. Great and inspirational, anyone who reads it will admire her very much.
There was also a photo of Chen Shichu in the report. Zhao Shuwen looked at Chen Shichu in the photo. She was wearing a shirt and trousers, her hair was combed into a ponytail and tied behind her head. She was tall and slender, with a beautiful and young appearance. She was very elegant and could not tell at all. Her true age. If Zhao Shuwen didn't know her mother-in-law's appearance very well, she would have thought that she was a senior white-collar worker from some company, not her old-fashioned mother-in-law from the countryside.
Looking at this photo blankly, Zhao Shuwen had some doubts about whether the haggard and old appearance of her mother-in-law in her memory really existed? The difference between the mother-in-law in the photo and the mother-in-law in the photo is heaven and earth. Can a career really make a person reborn and become a different person?
"Let's go back to our hometown with our two children sometime." Liu Zongqiang took a deep puff of his cigarette and said.
Zhao Shuwen glanced at her husband, whose face was full of calculations, and was silent for a while. Of course she knew what her husband was thinking. Wasn't she just going back to make up for the relationship with her mother-in-law? After all, her mother-in-law is promising. As a son, isn't it natural for Liu Zongqiang to take advantage of her?
"After we go back, we have to apologize to her properly. No matter how much she blames us, we can't have any complaints! Are you clear?" Liu Zongqiang said to Zhao Shuwen seriously, "We had a bad relationship with her before, no. It’s no longer possible to give in to her.”
"Understood." Zhao Shuwen nodded. Although she was still a little uncomfortable in her heart, when she thought of Chen Shichu's current net worth, this discomfort was nothing. Only now did she clearly realize that the success described in the report The township entrepreneur is her mother-in-law, which means that her mother-in-law is now a rich man. As long as she can please her, won't her current difficulties be solved?
Zhao Shuwen became excited after realizing it, and her attitude immediately became proactive. She asked Liu Zongqiang: "What does your mother like? We have to bring her some gifts when we go back. At least it is our intention..."
"You're right!" Liu Zongqiang said to her with great agreement. Now that Chen Shichu's status was different, of course they had to treat her seriously. However, he soon showed embarrassment, "I don't know what she likes... …”
Liu Zongqiang is the only child of the Liu family. Although the family is not rich, his parents will meet his requirements no matter how difficult it is. Spending their life savings to buy him a house is an example. Naturally, they know exactly what their son likes.
But their son has no idea what their hobbies and likes are. In Liu Zongqiang's memory, his parents were always busy. His father either had to work outside to earn money or was busy with farm work. He had no private life of his own at all, let alone hobbies. This was especially true for his mother, who only had to do housework and farm work. , never stopped for a moment, so busy and silent that Liu Zongqiang can't remember what she likes at all.
Zhao Shuwen said sarcastically: "It seems that if you want to be a filial son, you have to do your homework well."
"How can you blame me? I started living in the dormitory as soon as I entered junior high school. I am rarely at home except during holidays. How could I know her preferences?" Liu Zongqiang spoke plausibly.
"I can't count on you anymore. Let's buy some nutritional supplements and cosmetics!" Zhao Shuwen suggested.
"Nutritional supplements are fine, but are cosmetics necessary?" Liu Zongqiang frowned and said, "My mother never wears makeup."
"Are you stupid? Look at this photo! Your mother's makeup skills are much better than mine! There is no woman who doesn't love beauty, no matter how old she is." Zhao Shuwen rolled her eyes and said, "What's more, she is rich now , she is definitely more willing to dress herself up, she didn’t wear makeup before because she had no money.”
Liu Zongqiang thought it made sense, so the couple discussed the gifts they wanted to give.
Within a few days, Liu Zongqiang took leave and returned to his hometown with his family.
