Xu Shiyan didn't pay attention to what the women outside said.
Weird things can be found everywhere. Donggang is a town after all. How can such a big place be filled with good people?
It's impossible for everyone to have such a strong relationship with the Xu family. If the relationship is good, just get along well, and if the relationship isn't good, just ignore it.
As for what they say, you don't even need to listen.
What if it’s not the New Year even if you listen to the cries of crickets? Do whatever you have to do, just live a good life at home.
When Xu Shiyan entered the room, he happened to hear Xu Chenghou lecturing Xu Shian.
"When we were in the provincial capital, in front of Construction and Victory, I was too embarrassed to tell you to save your face.
Second brother, please remember this. You have saved the money yourself. When you go home, don’t let your prodigal wife know about it, and don’t tell her too much about our affairs in the provincial capital.
Gentlemen, don’t talk to your wife about useless things. Your wife is so stupid and virtuous that you don’t know what she is doing?
And her natal brothers, stay as far away as possible.
I just go to your place for a meal occasionally on weekdays. For other things, don’t care what they say and don’t get involved. Do you understand?”
Xu Chenghou has long been displeased with the Wei family. They are not a happy family.
The old Wei family also belonged to the Forestry Bureau, and they were notorious for not being able to live well in the Forestry Bureau.
Seven days of fun before the capital is opened, which means that in the seven days before the capital is opened every month, you will eat and drink all day long.
When I ran out of money in the middle of the month, I started making rice, flour, porridge, and big pancakes with pickles.
By the end of the month, when all the salary has been spent, you can start to borrow as much money as you can.
When the funds are raised next month, repay the money first, and then repeat the process of last month.
Just living like this month after month, year after year, even though there are several people in the family working to earn wages, they can still live in poverty. It is really a strange thing for a family.
When the two families got married, the Xu family was in the big house and didn't inquire carefully.
I just thought that the Wei family was a working class family after all, and the Forestry Bureau was wealthy.
Xu Shi'an, an old peasant with mud-legged legs, was able to marry an educated youth from a working-class family, which was already extraordinary.
After getting married, I slowly learned the details of the Wei family.
It's a pity that it's too late. We already have two children, so how can we still interfere with Huang?
If the Wei family knew that Xu Shian had money, they might not come around to suck his blood.
So in the past few days, Xu Chenghou wanted to find an opportunity to talk to his second son and ask him to be careful and not go home stupidly and give all the money to his wife.
If that were the case, within two years of keeping it, all the 40,000 yuan would be enough to wipe out the old Wei family's troubles, leaving not a penny left.
"Yes, second brother, I also wanted to say that just now.
It’s not that my father and I deliberately instigated the relationship between you and the second sister-in-law. The main reason is that the second sister-in-law has no idea that she can help her parents’ family too much.
If it was a matter of ease, we wouldn't say anything.
After all, the Wei family has raised their second sister-in-law for so many years, and then she married into our family without asking for anything.
But his family is really not a family that lives a normal life. It's not good for people like that to be too close to them.
When you have time, please advise your second sister-in-law, no matter what you say, you have to take care of your own family first.
Xiaobo and Xiaotao are now in their teens, and are about to go to junior high school and enter college in a few years.
If you can get into college, it's okay and you can find a way out, but what if you don't get into college? Do you have to find a wife for them?"
Xu Shiyan was convinced after hearing what his father said.
If his second brother didn't stay away from the Wei family, he wouldn't be able to live a good life no matter how much money he had.
To say that Xu Shi'an is stupid, that's not true. He is just stunned, but he is not stupid.
His father and brother had good intentions and sincerely thought about him. Could Xu Shian not understand?
"Mom, if the third child really gives me money, I won't keep it, so you can help me put it aside.
If I am of any use, I will take it from you."
How can Xu Shi'an not know at all what his wife is like? He actually understands in his heart that he just loves his wife and is reluctant to fall out with her.
But such a large amount of money cannot be left with my wife, so it is safest to let my mother help save it.
"Okay, as long as you trust me, just leave it here.
Let me tell you, don't think about what you are going to do, just follow the old man and his wife.
They plant sticks, and you dig into the soil and plant some too.
Don't fix it too much, it's thirty to fifty feet a year, as long as it's connected, we'll make goods every year from now on, you can't go wrong with this day."
Both her children are the flesh that has fallen off their bodies, and Zhou Guilan feels sorry for each one of them.
The second child is a stupid fool, he doesn't have any crooked ideas, and he doesn't want to make a lot of money. He just grows some sticks and eats them all year round, that's fine.
Xu Shian was very obedient this time. He agreed to whatever his parents said. When Xu Chenghou and his wife saw this, they felt a lot more comfortable.
Xu Chenghou and others had been away for three months and finally came back. The family gathered together to chat, but before they knew it, it was quite late.
Zhou Guilan quickly cleaned up the house. She, Xu Chenghou and Xu Shian lived in the back room of the east room.
Xu Shiyan and his wife lived in the outer room of the east room with their children. Xu Shiqin and Su Anhua still lived in the west room.
Xu Haiqing and Xu Jinhui haven't seen their mother for a long time. They were holding on and refused to let go. Even if they were so sleepy that they fell asleep, they still had to hang on.
There was no other way, so Su Anying could only sleep with the two younger ones in her arms. The older ones couldn't compete with each other, so they simply hugged their father to the left and right to sleep.
"Thankfully we only have four children. If we had two more, we wouldn't be able to coax them through."
When Xu Shiyan saw this, he couldn't help but laugh. Without his parents, it wouldn't be enough.
"Xu Haiyuan, how was your final exam? You are in second grade, can you keep up?"
The three of them got into bed, Xu Shiyan hugged his son and asked casually.
"Dad, I know.
My brother still got double hundred in the exam, and their teacher came to our house and praised my brother for studying well, being sensible and polite.
My brother was the top student in his grade, and my grandma kept the certificate."
Xu Jinping was such a talkative person that she said everything before Xu Haiyuan could speak.
"Young, my eldest son is so good? He is a good student. He is really good."
Xu Shiyan laughed when he heard this. His eldest son is really good at studying and his parents don't need to worry about him at all.
Of course, even if the couple wanted to worry about it, it would probably be of no use. It would be nice if it didn't help.
In the past, Xu Shiyan could read a story to his son based on a book. But after Xu Haiyuan learned to use a dictionary, Xu Shiyan no longer even needed to read stories. He had to find a solution by himself.
This kid is so worry-free in his studies.
"Dad, don't listen to my sister yelling there. She is just a good student in her grade, nothing special.
Our teacher said, let me strive for the top three students in the school." Xu Haiyuan was a little embarrassed by his father's praise.
In his opinion, this is nothing at all. If he could judge the county's rewards like his father, that would be his skill.
"Well, dad believes in you, you can definitely do it.
Pingping, please work hard too, and strive to be as outstanding as your brother after you go to school."
His daughter will definitely be good in the future.
