Chapter 2226
Ideas Change with Development
"...I wonder what kind of drug the second son and his wife gave him to make the old man so devoted to the second son's family." Yan Jiecheng made his judgment first.
In today's matter, he did indeed blame Yan Jiefang.
The orchid beside her didn't make a sound, but continued riding forward on its own.
She doesn't like to worry about these things anymore. She'd rather use that time to think about what to add to tomorrow's fast food.
Faced with her high daily income, she really had no interest in these trivial calculations.
It's over twenty yuan a day!
That's six or seven hundred a month. If she can keep this business thriving for another month, she can earn an extra month's worth of money.
Orchids are also very clear-headed about this.
Her family's business doesn't have any moat.
If her family can do it, so can others.
When others enter this industry, her family's business will inevitably decline.
So, when there's an opportunity to make money, the thing Lan Hua is currently worried about is finding ways to earn more.
However, Yan Jiecheng interpreted her silence as a sign that she was angry.
Yan Jiecheng himself never imagined that, in their marital relationship,
With their incomes now inverted, their primary and secondary roles have begun to reverse.
At least for now, Yan Jiecheng cares a lot about Lan Hua's joys and sorrows.
"Wife, you were right all along."
At the time, I was thinking of having my second son help out at the restaurant.
"If he goes in, the old man will have even more to say today," Yan Jiecheng added, his tone dripping with flattery.
"well···
The second child may not be as bad as you think.
The key is for my husband and me to stay clear-headed about this kind of thing.
"As long as the two of us don't make any mistakes, no one can scheme against our family," Lan Hua said with a sigh.
It's unclear whether her sigh was a comment on the matter at hand, or a response to Yan Jiecheng's earlier ingratiating remarks...
Now it was Yan Jiecheng's turn to remain silent.
But since Lan Hua had started speaking, she felt she had to get it off her chest.
She continued, "If you asked us to switch places with the second brother, I'd probably do the same thing."
Who wouldn't want something that offers benefits?
Our leader, we really need to think this over carefully.
Our retirement is uncertain, but there will always be people who care about our family.
The better our family's life is, the more people will miss us.
Lan Hua spoke these words with remarkable composure.
She has a new idea now.
It was a possibility she had never dared to imagine before.
In other words, it means finding a son-in-law to live with his daughter's family.
Finding a son-in-law to live with one's family is not something an ordinary family can do well.
To put it bluntly, if the woman's parents are planning to have their son-in-law live with them, then the woman's parents should offer something in return.
Previously, only one of the couple had a job, and Yan Jiecheng's income was mediocre.
In the context of Beijing, while it may not be the worst, it certainly isn't good.
So she never really thought that if she and her husband found a son-in-law to live with their daughter, what would be the point of keeping him there?
This doesn't mean that you can just give the man a certain amount of money in one lump sum.
A favor given in a single instance will eventually fade away with the passage of time.
Give him a thousand or two thousand, and when his annual income reaches a certain level, he will definitely have the idea of going out on his own.
So unless Yan Jiecheng is some kind of high-ranking leader who can provide the man with lasting support at work.
Otherwise, that kind of thing wouldn't be about finding a son-in-law, but about finding an enemy.
Not only will they hate the couple, but they might also harm their daughter.
That's why she had never thought about it before.
Now, it's clear she's qualified. All she needs to do is run the restaurant well and save a large sum of money for her daughter.
If they find a son-in-law, the elderly couple can provide long-term financial support to the young couple.
As long as you don't encounter a born ingrate, there's a high chance of success.
If you turn the restaurant into a family business, then there will be no problem at all.
Anyone who marries into her family must be extremely grateful to the elderly couple.
A daughter can live a life of pride and self-respect in her husband's family.
This is an idea that Lan Hua only recently came up with.
Lan Hua shared her thoughts with Yan Jiecheng.
This also greatly shocked Yan Jiecheng.
The couple was still struggling with the question of which of their second and third children would take care of them in their old age and see them off in their final days.
But clearly, those concerns are no longer important compared to what the orchid is saying now.
If only I could find a son-in-law who would live with my daughter's family.
If we have two sons in the future, one will take the surname Yan and the other will take the surname of our son-in-law, then all the problems will be solved.
"Can our family really reach that level?" Yan Jiecheng asked uncertainly.
"Why can't we go? The courtyard that Chunhua bought is only worth three thousand yuan now."
Our family's annual income is enough to buy a bigger yard.
Even buying a two-courtyard house wouldn't be out of the question.
We'll live in the backyard, and they can live in the front yard.
"Is this life not working?" Lan Hua blurted out her thoughts.
"Okay... ding-a-ling..." Yan Jiecheng excitedly slapped the handlebars of the bicycle, and the bicycle bell rang.
Liu Ting eventually found out about He Yuzhu's meeting with He Xinghua and his wife.
Liu Ting didn't cause any trouble for He Yuzhu.
If He Yuzhu had gone to see Lou Xiao'e behind her back at this time, it would have been understandable for her to be jealous.
But she couldn't bear to lose face by being jealous of a child.
As far as she was concerned, she had already accepted Lou Xiao'e's existence.
So we need to be more open-minded about many things.
Even though she and Lou Xiao'e were still enemies.
However, when it comes to matters concerning their children, even if she lacks the magnanimity of a matriarch, she cannot be less magnanimous than Lou Xiao'e.
He Yuan and He An have both received care from others!
If she were to cause trouble with He Yuzhu over these matters, wouldn't that prove she's not as magnanimous as Lou Xiao'e?
Of course, I was definitely angry, but I just held it in.
She was more curious about how old He Xinghua was now and which family's daughter he was dating.
She certainly wouldn't ask He Yuzhu about these things.
However, she was able to obtain accurate information from He Yuan.
When they heard that He Xinghua was still a minor and already engaged to a rich heiress.
Liu Ting said it was impossible not to be envious.
So recently, instead of bothering He Yuzhu, she started bothering the second son, He Ping.
Normally, unless there's something going on at home, Liu Ting wouldn't bother He Ping.
But recently, she has been frequently asking He Ping to come home, using the excuse that she has soup at home.
That would be killing two birds with one stone.
After all, He Yuan needs nourishment now!
With her round face and double chin, He Yuan looked at the black chicken soup in front of her and, taking advantage of Liu Ting's absence while she was in the kitchen, she directly transferred the chicken from her bowl to the bowl of her fourth son.
The fourth child was about to shout when He Yuan glared at him, scaring him back down.
Meanwhile, when He Ping placed a chicken leg on Xiao Chongzi's plate, Xiao Chongzi smiled sweetly, creating a harmonious scene. (End of Chapter)
