Chapter 661: The Mother Exploiting Her Daughter

After getting in the car, Wei Zhu was still worried: "Mom, is it bad for us to anger him like this?"

"What's wrong with that? He's been harassing you for a month, can't we vent our anger? When we get to the provincial capital, he won't even be able to find us, so how can we retaliate?"

"Auntie is right." Yue Ting laughed, "Wei Zhu, don't worry about it. We are about to start a new life and we will never have any contact with him again."

After being persuaded like this, Wei Zhu felt much more relaxed. He would finally not have to face Jing Jun's harassment anymore. But why was his mother so willing to take a taxi this time?

"Mom, you came all the way here, won't it delay business?"

Song Xia told her daughter Wei Zhu about her business. Wei Zhu expressed obvious concerns about this, but was finally fooled away by her.

"It won't delay much business in a day."

Wei Zhu nodded. She thought that business was not good, so it was okay to delay it. But after it was over, she realized how powerful her mother was.

"This is it. The place is a bit small." Song Xia led them in. The originally large one-bedroom apartment seemed much more cramped after two more people moved in. But the three of them were all hardworking, so they felt it was okay.

Song Xia sighed, "I originally wanted to rent a two-bedroom apartment, but Wei Deng tried his best to stop me. I didn't spend his money. I've never seen a child who doesn't love his mother so much."

Yue Ting laughed and didn't interrupt. For a boy from a family that favors boys over girls, wouldn't he think that all the money in the family belongs to him? Even if that money was not earned by him.

However, although Aunt Song was very harsh on Wei Zhu before, she was nice to her after they met, and it was not good for her to interfere too much in other people's family affairs.

"Wei Zhu, Mom always feels that your brother is becoming more and more immature and only cares about asking for money. This can't go on. Our Wei family is still counting on him to bring honor to the family, so Mom is thinking about whether there is any way to change his wasteful spending habits."

Wei Zhu blinked his eyes. What does mom mean?
As Song Xia watched them packing their luggage, she said, "We must not let him become like the grandson of the Zhang family, who ended up accomplishing nothing and had to rely on him for everything. He would not be able to live a carefree life."

Yue Ting opened her mouth slightly. Although Aunt Song's words still had some patriarchal implications, this idea seemed different from that of ordinary families that favored boys over girls?
"Mom, why do you suddenly think like this?" Wei Zhu didn't know what to say, so he just asked this question. This made Yue Ting very anxious. At this time, she should follow Aunt Song's idea and set some rules for Wei Deng!
"Mom is just worried that he will get used to taking things for granted and won't be able to shoulder responsibilities in the future. Besides, college is too expensive. He always says he will bring a daughter-in-law back for mom. What if he doesn't bring her back in the end and the money is spent by those women?"

At this time, Wei Zhu and Yue Ting always felt that the focus of this passage was at the end. It turned out that he was reluctant to give the money to outsiders.

"So we need to take advantage of this opportunity to get him to focus on his studies and not be fooled. Your brother was very naive in the past."

"What timing?" Wei Zhu was stunned and still didn't react.

"You've resigned, and the family has no source of income. If he doesn't save his pocket money, he will have to go hungry."

Wei Zhu said seriously: "Mom, I can also find a job here and study while working." Her attitude made Yue Ting very anxious. She finally had a chance to take the civil service exam. If she started working, work would take up most of her time. How could she study?

"No." Before Yue Ting could say anything, Song Xia refused without thinking, "If you want to take the civil service exam, you should concentrate on it. Why are you distracted? Don't let yourself fail the exam and end up with a lousy job with no future. Then, wouldn't it be a big loss for your mother to have worked so hard to train you for so many years?"

Although the last sentence didn't sound very nice, Yue Ting felt completely relieved seeing that she really wanted Wei Zhu to concentrate on taking the civil service exam.

"Mom has made an appointment with Pei Xin for dinner. Come over later in the evening and ask her to tell you how to sign up and buy study materials."

Wei Zhu had heard Pei Xin's name from Song's mother more than once. At first, she thought this person was a liar, but she didn't expect that there was really a young girl who could get along with her mother.

This was also a scene that Wei Zhu had never seen her mother selling snacks. If she had seen it, she would know that the customers all chatted with her mother and had a very happy chat.

After saying that, seeing that it was getting late, Song Xia began to prepare dinner. Although the food in the restaurant outside was not bad, it was inevitably not as healthy as what she made at home. Her stall had many repeat customers, and one of the reasons was that she prepared the raw materials well, especially the fried rice and fried noodles, which were not as greasy as those in other places. As for meat patties, this kind of product would not taste good without oil, but fortunately she used good oil.

Now many hospitalized patients come to buy her food. Because she is afraid that these people will be unhealthy if they eat too much meat patties and fried noodles, she has added porridge to her stall in the morning and evening.

The porridge is cooked in advance every day and then served in cups. It’s just a little more troublesome to serve it in cups when making it at home, but when selling it at the stall, it’s as easy as making tea eggs.

Just for this dish of porridge, she has many returning customers, and the porridge is often not enough to sell. Many customers suggested that she rent a shop here. There are only two opening hours in the morning and evening, and the quantity is limited. Many customers really can't buy it unless they are lucky.

With a small shop and one or two waiters, she can sell things all day long, and she doesn't have to work so hard.

Song Xia also wants to open a small shop, but her current savings are not enough!
There were some discerning customers who wanted to invest, but Song Xia politely declined. She would rather take it slow on her own and was not willing to form a partnership at the beginning.

Because she knows her craft, she is reluctant to give up most of the profits in the future just for a little investment in the front. What if she opens a branch in the future? If there is a conflict in the business model, who should she listen to?
She likes to have her affairs in her own hands, but now her power is still too weak.

As soon as Wei Zhu and Yue Ting finished packing their luggage, they smelled a very overbearing meaty aroma. In this one-bedroom apartment, the kitchen was built on the balcony. At one end was the study space she left for Wei Zhu, and at the other end was a small kitchen.

Recently, tenants nearby have been tortured by the smell. Some smart ones have bought meat patties from Song Xia's stall several times, while others have never been able to figure out which stall it belongs to.

In addition to the aroma of meat, there is also the aroma of stewed meat. Wei Zhu looked at all this in amazement. She never knew that her mother's cooking skills were so good!
"Mom, how did you make it? Why does it smell so good?"

"I learned it online. People online are quite generous these days. They even teach cooking secrets."

Wei Zhu and Yue Ting nodded. Nowadays, there are indeed many bloggers who teach how to cook. However, this level of comprehension seems to be too great. The dishes look even more delicious than the carefully prepared ones on the Internet.
