Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

After a tiring day, Duan Minmin and her family took a short rest after cleaning the kitchen and went home.

Watching their backs as they walked away, Zheng Yuan thought to himself that he must earn money to build a big house so that the two families could live together and avoid running back and forth.

The children were getting ready to go to bed, but Zheng Yuan still felt like chatting with them, so he asked everyone to sit in the yard.

"Erhe, do you know what you did wrong this afternoon?"

When Zheng Yuan asked everyone to sit together, Erhe had a bad feeling in his heart. When he was called, his heart skipped a beat. As expected.

"Mom, I shouldn't have disobeyed you this afternoon. I should have been obedient. I won't dare to do it again next time." Erhe said sullenly.

Zheng Yuan shook her head, stood up, walked to his side and patted his shoulder: "Erhe, you are wrong. Mother is not angry that you disobeyed me. Mother is angry that you, as a brother, don't know how to feel sorry for your sister; secondly, I am angry that you take the efforts of your family for granted.

We are a family, and we should love and care for each other. But when you saw Sanni carrying such a big basket of pig grass, she didn't even think of helping. If you were in other family members' shoes, would you feel uncomfortable if they treated you like this?

Also, when mother asked you to help Sanni, you actually said that you went to the city, so what was wrong with Sanni carrying pig grass? Mother knows that you have worked hard today, getting up so early and helping us move such heavy things.

But your brother, sister-in-law and Sanni who stayed at home also worked hard in the fields all day. The sun was so scorching and there were so many weeds in the fields. They even worked harder than us.

I just said that we are a family. Although we don’t work together, whether we go to the city or stay at home, we are doing it for the better of our family, aren’t we?

So, I hope you can all understand and care for each other, instead of taking everyone's efforts for granted. What do you think?"

After Zheng Yuan's words, the children seemed to be thinking about something.

"Mom, I think you are right. We are a family and should help and take care of each other. As the eldest brother, I will definitely take good care of my younger brothers and sisters in the future." Dashu was the first to become abnormal.

Erhe also raised his head timidly: "Mom, I was wrong. I will never do this again in the future."

Zheng Yuan patted his shoulder soothingly, and then said to the children: "I am not saying these words today to blame Erhe. After the butt in the past few days, my thoughts have changed a lot, and I think you have noticed it."

"I was wrong before. After your father passed away, I was in a daze and did many wrong things. I didn't teach you well. Now I am sober and want to lead our family to a better future."

"Dashu, you are the eldest. You will take care of your brothers and sisters with mom in the future. You have a heavy burden on your shoulders. You must stand up for yourself. Do you understand?"

"Hui Niang, you are a good child. You didn't have a good life after marrying into our family. I am sorry for you. If you and Dashu live a good life in the future, our family will get better and better. You are the eldest sister-in-law, I will let my brothers and sisters respect you, and I also hope that you really treat us as a family."

"Erhe, you are smart and clever. I believe you will have great abilities in the future. But you must remember that your family will always be your family. Only with the support of your family can you go further. So I hope you will spend more time with your family members, respect your brother and sister-in-law, and love your brothers and sisters."

"Sizhu, you are still young. Mother only hopes that you will grow up healthy and happy. However, mother also hopes that you will respect your brothers and sisters. Your father passed away early. Without their hard work, how could you grow up healthy?"

"I'm very pleased that you've been willing to deliver water to my brother and sister and Aunt Duan's family these days. It shows that you still have your family in your heart. So, you can't go out and play whenever you want. You have to do something for this family to the best of your ability. Okay?"

After talking about the boys, Zheng Yuan turned her attention to Sanni and pulled her over to sit next to her: "Sanni, I know I was confused before and treated you badly. Now I know I was wrong. I don't expect you to forget the harm I caused you before, but I hope you can give me a chance to correct it. From now on, I will make it up to you, okay?"

After she finished speaking, Sanni couldn't help sobbing, and Zheng Yuan patted her back with heartache. This little girl's life was really hard before, fortunately she is here now.

Sanni gradually calmed down, mustered up the courage to look up at Zheng Yuan: "Mom, I know, I know everything, you don't have to apologize. All the hardships I went through before were for the mother who is here now."

When Zheng Yuan heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He wondered if Sanni knew something.

The other children didn't notice anything unusual, it was just that no one had ever explained any principles to them before. Their mother, who had always only beaten and scolded them, suddenly said so much. In an instant, they felt that their mother's image had become much taller. For a moment, everyone was thinking about the principles that their mother had just explained to them.

Erhe hurriedly said that he had heard it: "Mom, I understand. I will definitely respect you, respect my elder brother and sister-in-law, and take care of my younger brothers and sisters in the future."

"Mom, Hui Niang and I feel the same way. We will listen to you and take care of the family as soon as possible so that you won't have to work so hard anymore. Right, Hui Niang?" Dashu also expressed his opinion.

"Yes, mother, I have completely regarded you as a family since I got married. Dashu and I will live a good life in the future." Xu Hui Niang said embarrassedly.

Seeing that his brothers and sisters had expressed their opinions, Sizhu, although he only understood half of what they said, hurriedly said, "Mom, me too, me too."

"Mother knows that you are all good children. Mother will treat each of you equally in the future. No matter you are a boy or a girl, you must love each other. From now on, our family will work together, and our lives will surely be prosperous. Okay, go take a shower and go to bed." Zheng Yuan finally emphasized the idea of ​​gender equality.

I know that just one night of conversation will not completely change the children's ideas, but at least the beginning has been made. Let these ideas take root in the children's hearts first, and then water these roots through daily exposure. Sooner or later, they will grow into towering trees.

Duan Minmin's home.

After washing up, Duan Minmin came to the girls' room holding a pillow and asked a little embarrassedly: "Can Mom sleep with you tonight?"

Several children looked at her blankly, and no one spoke for a while.

Duan Minmin was a little embarrassed and coughed dryly. Tao'er finally reacted and immediately moved to the side: "Of course, mother, come up quickly."

The four of them slept in a row, Zheng Yuan in the middle, Xing'er and Mei'er beside her, Tao'er next to Xing'er, and the girls all felt a little stiff.

"Alas, mother knows that your father and his family have been playing tricks on me. I only want a boy in my belly to be perfect, so I've been very mean to you."

"It was only after hitting my head this time that I finally woke up completely. You three have been caring and sensible since childhood, doing the dirty and tiring work to help me run the family. You are much better than those boys who only know how to run around the village. I know I wronged you in the past, but I really know I was wrong now. I will definitely treat you well in the future. Can you forgive me?"

The girls were shocked at first, and gradually began to sob. Duan Minmin felt so distressed that she quickly stood up and hugged her daughters.

It is said that children are most likely to forgive their parents. After Duan Minmin's apology, the children cried out all the grievances they had suffered since childhood. Now they sobbed and said that they did not blame Duan Minmin.

They also know that it has always been like this in the village. If a family cannot give birth to a son, the daughter-in-law will be criticized by people in the surrounding area for the rest of her life. It is not easy for the mother either.

Duan Minmin felt sorry for the children and comforted them softly. After a while, they were tired of crying and gradually fell asleep.

That night, both families went to sleep with expectations for the future.
