Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

She was very happy to marry him and was full of expectations for the future. However, as the years passed, Sheng Hong's studies did not make any progress. But she was not anxious at that time because her family was very rich at that time. She thought that such a good life would last a lifetime, and even get better and better, but things are unpredictable.

Xu recalled the bitterness and sadness of the past few years. Now Sheng Hong no longer had the status of a scholar, he had become an ordinary farmer. The skills that Sheng Hong possessed now were actually not as good as those of an ordinary farmer in the village... Other people's lives are bitter before they are sweet, but hers was the other way around. How could she not be sad and upset?

However, the reality has become like this, and she has no way to leave this home. If not for anything else, even for herself and for Daya, she can't just get by with her life, she has to move forward and live a good life.

It would be great if Sheng Hong could find something to do besides farming and earn some extra money every month to supplement the family income. She had discussed this with Sheng Hong before, but... She looked up at Sheng Hong. No matter what, she still had to persuade Sheng Hong.

Xu smiled and softened her voice. Sheng Hong glanced at Xu and agreed with a smile. Xu was still young. Although her life in recent years was not as good as before, Xu looked a lot more haggard, but Xu knew how to dress up. In Sheng Hong's eyes, she was still the most beautiful daughter-in-law in the village. "Brother Sheng Hong, why don't we take advantage of the return of Third Uncle and Third Aunt, and Xiao Lan's big event, when their family is so happy, to talk to them and ask Third Uncle to arrange a job for you. You can also earn some money every month, so that we can have more money in our hands, so that you don't have to buy anything when you want to."

When Sheng Hong heard what Xu was talking about, he frowned, "Do you think I don't want to? But we have mentioned this to Uncle San before, but did you see him agree?" At this point, Sheng Hong's brows relaxed, "But you are right, while Uncle San and Aunt San are happy now, you should go over and talk to them, maybe you can really make it happen this time." Sheng Hong said this, and asked Xu to quickly deliver the things to Zhang's family.

Xu's smile turned bitter. "I advise you not to always think about being an accountant or a housekeeper. Before, you asked your uncle and aunt to be a housekeeper, but they didn't agree. Brother Shenghong, there are many jobs at your uncle's house. Why don't we change to something else?"

"Third Uncle and Third Aunt are both kind-hearted people. You can take Daya with you this time and speak to her in a more pitiful way. Maybe this time it will work." Sheng Hong said, "Didn't you say before that this land should be kept for my father and me to farm, just for Third Uncle to see? I have been farming this land for several years, and it's almost done..."

Although Sheng Xuan and Zhang are soft-hearted, they are decent people. They can't stand lazy people the most, but Sheng Hong left such an impression on them. "Have you forgotten what you did before..." Xu knew clearly that with Sheng Hong's character, people would never give him important jobs such as accountant or manager. Sheng Xuan had refused very straightforwardly before, which was proof of this.

"It's been so many years since these things happened..." Sheng Hong was stunned for a moment, then said nonchalantly.

"What else? I'm just worried about your character!" Xu blurted out her thoughts in frustration.

Sheng Hong's face suddenly turned red, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"You were too ambitious before, so Third Uncle couldn't agree to your request. But several years have passed now, and Third Uncle should have changed his mind. Let's not choose such a high task this time. Let's start slowly with simple tasks... If Third Uncle sees that you are doing a good job, how could he not help you change your job?" Xu softened her tone and said to Sheng Hong.

"Do you want me to work as a servant? To do odd jobs for others?" Sheng Hong said with some displeasure.

"What's wrong with doing odd jobs? People will choose good jobs for this kind of work. If no one guarantees it, people won't want it." Xu said, "Look at how many families in our village make a living by doing odd jobs in shops..."

Farmers are simple in nature. They respect those who earn money to support their families in an honest way, and they envy and respect those who can do odd jobs to support their families.

"They are them and I am me. Don't compare me with those peasants. They can't read a single word. I have studied for so many years. How can I be the same as them? If that's the case, don't mention it again in the future!" Sheng Hong said with a gloomy face, then pushed the door and was about to leave.

Xu was so angry at Sheng Hong that she took several breaths, but tears still flowed down her face. This was her husband Sheng Hong. He looked gentle on weekdays, but once he made up his mind, no one could change his mind... These were not the most hateful things. The most hateful thing was that he still held on to his identity as a scholar and thought he was superior to others.

When Sheng Hong saw Xu crying, he finally softened his heart. He stood at the door and hesitated for a while, but ultimately did not open the door and go out.

"Even if they have jobs like accountant or manager now, they can't give them to you right away. You just have to suffer for two years. Are you afraid that there won't be any good jobs for you in the future? After all, you are their nephew," Xu persuaded Sheng Hong while crying, "Everything should be done step by step. Why don't you listen to others' advice?"

Seeing that Xu was still saying this, Sheng Hong, who had stopped because he felt sorry for Xu, walked out directly. The pity he had just shown disappeared from his face. "If you want to go, go by yourself. I can't afford to lose this person." Sheng Hong said this and pushed the door open and walked out.

"If I were a man, I would have gone there long ago and wouldn't have to wait for you!" Xu sobbed. After waiting for a while, seeing that Sheng Hong still hadn't come back, she wiped away her tears... Life had to go on, and since Sheng Hong could no longer be counted on, she could only rely on herself.

Xu packed her things and thought about how to tell Cui to go out so that she could deliver the things to Zhang. At this time, she heard Daya crying, followed by Cui's scolding. Cui was scolding Daya in the east room, and Xu couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and went to the east room.
