There is a mountain in her arms

Chapter 123: Mother's Family Affairs

"Uncle, we just happened to have a new idea. Can you give us some advice?"

Wu Da suddenly had an idea and said to Grandpa Jiang seriously. Grandpa Jiang was a little surprised and waved his hands to laugh at himself.

"I can't really be called your advisor. How can an old man like me give you advice? But you can tell me what you think. After all, I have been out there longer than you, so I do have some experience."

"Uncle, please don't be so modest. Listen to what I say before you make a conclusion."

"you say!"

"Uncle, it's like this. After we contacted Mr. Wei, we bought the goods from him at first. In fact, Erni was the only one who bought the goods and sold the clothes at the beginning. I didn't expect that Mr. Wei had such a good vision. The clothes he brought were all very popular. Erni was too busy to handle it alone."

Wu Da felt a little embarrassed. They also made preparations for both situations. One person would go and explore the way first, while the other would guard the city at home.

"Er Ni came back with the news and asked me to go. Actually, my family also opposed it. But Er Ni threatened me, so I made up my mind to go with her. In this respect, I am not as courageous as Er Ni."

"To be honest, when I first started selling clothes, I was a little embarrassed, but later when I saw a lot of money passing through my hands, that discomfort disappeared. In just half a year, we have a stable customer base in the city, and now we have rented a store and our business is stable."

"That's great. If you can make a name for yourself, your parents-in-law will feel more at ease."

"I know that it's because of my incompetence that Erni and I have suffered so much over the years. I will definitely treat her well in the future."

Wu Da said this to his father-in-law and also to let Grandpa Jiang be a witness. Sure enough, Uncle Yu was very satisfied and his eyes were filled with smiles.

"Uncle, what I want to say is that we plan to work with Mr. Wei to set up a large clothing wholesale market, so that others can come to us to buy goods. Although the profit is lower, we can sell in large quantities and don't have to spend time and energy to sell them ourselves. What do you think?"

"Your idea is very bold. I think it's a good one. But it's easy for a partnership to have conflicts due to interests. If you end up breaking up, then your efforts will be in vain."

"Actually, this is just our wishful thinking. We haven't told President Wei about this yet. We are just considering how to distribute it. And although we are two people, we are a family, so it's hard to make a conclusion."

After Wu Da finished speaking, Grandpa Jiang and Uncle Yu didn't know what to do, and the atmosphere became quiet.

"Cousin, you can actually be the boss and hire Wei Donglai. Or you can split the investment into three people, each doing your own job, so that you can have more say."

Jiang Yichen listened at the door for a while, and when he saw that they were all silent, he spoke up.

"Chengcheng, what if he wants to split it with us?"

"Then you can't send two people. You and him will do it together, and your cousin will be a general customer who buys and sells the goods. You should find a way to find out his route in Shenzhen and Guangzhou. Even if you go your separate ways, you can still do it on your own."

"Of course, all the prerequisites are that you must make your intentions clear to Wei Donglai. If he disagrees with any of the above, you can spend more time visiting Shenzhen and Guangzhou. I don't believe that you have sold so many clothes that you would forget the styles. By then, you can visit the markets there more often with these styles and should be able to find the manufacturer."

"I'm not afraid of this. I just think Wei Donglai has a unique vision. The styles he chooses are usually good sellers."

"Either learn it yourself, or get Wei Donglai."

"Oh, I get it!"

"What do you understand?"

Yu Erni came out with Grandma Jiang, and later followed An An and the others.

"I'll tell you in detail when we get back. Why haven't my elder sister and the others arrived yet? In previous years, we always arrived at about the same time. Why haven't they come yet this year?"

Wu Da couldn't explain it to her in a few words, so he prepared to go home and tell her. Yu Erni was successfully diverted when she heard him talk about her eldest sister's family.

"Yeah! In previous years we always met him on the road, why hasn't he arrived this year? Could something have delayed him?"

"Pfft! You're such a jinx! Don't say such things on New Year's Day."

"Yes, yes, bah!"

It was not until almost noon that Yu Dani and Zhang Peng arrived with their three children. Yu Dani looked pale, and Zhang Peng's expression was not much better either.

"Sister, brother-in-law, why are you here so late? What happened?"

Yu Erni saw that her elder sister looked unwell, and immediately held her hand with concern. She noticed that her palms were cold, and subconsciously put the back of her hand on her forehead. She didn't have a fever, so she was fine. She hurriedly helped her sit down and began to scold her.

"Sister, why are your palms cold? Are you sick?"

"fine!"

Yu Dani smiled reluctantly and pretended nothing happened.

"How can you be fine? Look at your face, it's as white as a ghost, and your palms are still cold even with such thick clothes on. If this isn't illness, what is it?"

Yu Erni finished speaking like a firecracker, and all eyes in the room were on Yu Dani.

"Is it Da Ni who is here? Er Ni, are you angry with your eldest sister again?"

After my second aunt’s grandmother finished her work in the kitchen, she seemed to hear Erni’s questioning and hurried out.

"Mom, look at how haggard my eldest sister is."

"Dani, what happened to you? Are you sick? Why didn't you send us a message?"

The second aunt's wife held her daughter's hand, her eyes full of heartache, and glanced at her eldest son-in-law with dissatisfaction.

Zhang Peng's mouth opened and closed, not knowing where to start. It was indeed because he was not careful enough that he did not notice that his wife was sick.

"Mom, it's nothing. I just have a tumor in my body. I need to rest for a while. Also, I can't continue to do my work."

"Tumor? Is it benign?"

My second uncle's grandmother's voice immediately trembled and rose in pitch, and my second uncle's grandfather subconsciously took two steps closer and stammered.

"Mom, Dad, it's benign. She had surgery a while ago and will be fine after resting for half a year. This is also my fault. I didn't think of taking her to the hospital for a check-up when she was not feeling well, which is why she has been delayed until now."

"Mom, no, I just didn't want to waste money, and thought it would pass if I just endured it."

Seeing that her husband took all the responsibility on himself, Yu Dani hurried to defend him.

"You silly child, what is more important, money or life? Even if you have no money, you can tell us! Don't you think your parents will ignore you? You usually look smart, why do you act stupid at the critical moment?"

"Mom, I know I was wrong."

Yu Dani begged for mercy and leaned her head on her mother's shoulder and acted coquettishly.

"You are already an adult, but you still act like a spoiled brat."

"Second sister-in-law, I think my niece has damaged her vitality. Please make some nourishing soup for her later."

"Yes, I'll make you some old hen soup later. The pork rib soup I just made doesn't have much nutrition, so you can drink less. Old man, it's time to eat, set the table!"

"Hey!"

Uncle Yu turned around to conceal his mistake, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and started to move the table.

Both sons-in-law were very tactful and offered to help. Yu Dani wanted to help but was held down by Er Ni.

"Don't you have me here? Come back and do what you can. Sit down and make yourself comfortable."

Although the tone was fierce, it was not difficult to conceal the concern.

After serving all the dishes, Huang Xiaoying thoughtfully served a bowl of Tremella soup to her sister-in-law.

"Big sister, drink it while it's hot. This is what mom just cooked for you. I originally wanted to save it for dinner."

"Thank you, brother and sister!"

Yu Dani choked up a little, and the hot soup she was holding seemed to warm her heart.

After lunch, my second aunt’s grandmother took her daughter into the room to talk. Grandma Jiang also went to find her mother, and several men gathered together to talk about the changes in current affairs in recent years.

"Brother-in-law, I see you don't make much money in that job now? Do you have any new ideas?"

"Brother-in-law, are you guys making a lot of money out there? You're so confident now. My job is a stable one after all."

Zhang Peng and his brother-in-law have lived together for so many years, so he knows him well. He is not a snob, so he must have done well outside and wants to help him.

"Brother-in-law, I know what the situation is like now. Private enterprises are developing vigorously, and many state-owned enterprises are being marginalized. I heard that your machinery factory has lost a lot of orders because it is unable to improve product quality and specifications."

"Brother-in-law, aren't you in the city? You can hear all the news in our town."

"Haha, brother-in-law, this is pure coincidence. In fact, we sell clothes in the city. You don't know how profitable this clothing business is. My husband and I were setting up stalls everywhere when we first started, and we ran into a family member of your factory. I heard that her accent was similar to ours, so we chatted for a few more minutes, and that's when I heard this news."

"Are you setting up a street stall in the city?"

"Brother-in-law, why do you look down on street vendors? Don't you know that I can earn your monthly salary in a week?"

"A week? Are you kidding?"

"Brother-in-law, would I lie to you just to save face? If you don't believe me, you can ask my wife. My wife will never lie to you, right? Erni, come out for a moment."

After Wu Da finished speaking, he called his wife into the room, and Erni came out with some dissatisfaction.

"What's your name? I'm talking to my elder sister!"

"Haha! Wife, I told my brother-in-law that I could earn his monthly salary in a week, and he thought I was lying to him."

"That's it! Brother-in-law, it's true. I'm better than him. I can earn it in five days."

Yu Dani and her second aunt's wife followed out and just heard these words. Yu Dani subconsciously exclaimed.

"Er Ni, what kind of money is so easy to make?"

"Sister, it's not easy to make money. I have to work hard to sell it, and it's very tiring."

"That's easy to earn! Just by talking, you can earn that much money in a week. What about half a month? A month!"

"Sister, you just happen to be unemployed, right? Why don't you come and work with me when you get better? I promise you will earn more than your previous job."

"Me? I can't do that. I can't lose face."

"Well, face is worth nothing, making money is the bottom line. Besides, I set up a street stall for a long time at the beginning, and now I have opened a store. Sister, I tell you, we will be able to buy a house in the city within half a year. By then, my parents and I will all be in the city, and you will be the only one in the countryside, so it will be convenient to visit relatives."

Yu Erni chattered a lot, Yu Dani's head was buzzing, and Yu Ershu's grandfather and grandmother's eyes lit up.

"Dani, Erni is right. Why don't you wait until you are better before giving it a try? By then, our whole family will be around you, and you won't have to handle anything alone if anything happens."

"Yes! Big sister, your three children are spending more and more money, and now you have lost your job, so life is very tight."

Faced with the relentless pressure from her mother and sister, Yu Dani was a little at a loss. Zhang Peng struggled in his heart and said to Yu Dani.

"Dani, if you are willing, you can go with us first when you are well. If you can adapt, you can follow me. I will quit my job when you are established. Brother-in-law, I am making preparations for both situations. It's not that I don't trust you, but I am mainly afraid that we can't do it and we will end up with nothing."

Zhang Peng was a little embarrassed and said these selfish words with a blushing face.

"Brother-in-law, it's okay. There's nothing wrong with your thinking this way. You're always welcome to come over. Even if you can't do it, it doesn't matter. You can still do something else. Look, didn't my parents make their way there with their own hands?"

Wu Da smiled generously. He came into contact with more people now, so naturally his horizons had broadened, and he still had this broad mind.

"Big sister, this isn't difficult. I'll teach you step by step. We are sisters. It's so easy for me to do it, how can you be so bad?"

"Okay! Big sister listens to you."

When Yu Dani saw her sister handing her the ladder, she couldn't help but feel a little motivated.

"That's how it should be! Two sisters helping each other will be blessed in the future!"

Jiang Yichen's family didn't say a word during the whole process. Grandma Jiang was happy to see that her family was living better and better.

Jiang Yichen felt that it was progress that they didn't need her to take on everything this time. After all, their family had already gone to Beijing and they would come back less often in the future.

You can't just help every time you come back, otherwise all our friendship will be gone.

After everyone was happy, they all gathered in the main room to talk, and my second aunt's wife specially placed a brazier in the middle for them to warm themselves by fire.

Jiang Yichen was the only girl, so she just snuggled up to her grandmother and listened to them talk.

The children of the two cousins ​​were much older than An An and his friends, so they were divided into two groups to play.

In order to make the journey easier for everyone, we had dinner a little earlier.

Grandma Jiang held my mother's hand and kept giving instructions to my second brother.

"Brother, I'm leaving my mother in your care. If you can't spare the time, send her to me and I'll take care of her."

"Little sister, what are you talking about? My mother raised me when I was young, and I will take care of her when she is old. It is only natural."

"That's right, little sister, don't worry! I will definitely take good care of mom. It's been so many years, there's never been a time when I couldn't take good care of her."

"Second sister-in-law, that's not what I meant. I know you take good care of Mom, and I'm grateful to you. I mean if you get tired of taking care of her in the future, or if the family is too busy, just let me know. I'm also Mom's daughter, so why can't I take her home to take care of her?"

"Alright, alright, go back now! I understand what you mean. With a brother like me here, you can't let mom go to your house. I still have two daughters to look after! They can always come back to help when the time comes. Why would they need you to be thousands of miles away?"

"Aunt, aunt, I promise. I will take care of my grandma for my mom, and we, as grandchildren, will also show filial piety, and will never be any less than you."

Seeing that they were talking endlessly, Yu Erni hurried out to interrupt them. However, she was scolded by her mother after she had said just two sentences.

"You little bitch! You're showing off in front of your aunt just because you made some money. She makes as much as you do in Beijing."

"Really? Aunt, then I must have inherited my cleverness from you. My parents can't learn it."

"Hahaha! That's right. Well, it's getting dark, we have to leave, you guys should go back before it's light! Dani, don't force yourself to face difficulties, your family is your safe haven."

"I know, aunt!"
