The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 240 Good Luck
Yang Xiaolin saw that the other party was unwilling to go, so she persuaded him, "You must have been tired from the journey, and the children are likely to be restless at night. It will be uncomfortable to sleep here. You should stay in a guesthouse and relax."

"My daughter-in-law is here. She will be able to get the hang of it after serving for a month. She is a grandmother, so it is natural for her to take care of her granddaughter."

"It's our fault that we're tiring you out right after you got here."

Gao's mother remained silent. Several people tried to persuade her one by one and soon persuaded her to leave.

Yang Xiaolin was very satisfied with the current situation. Letting Gao's mother stay would easily affect the harmony of the small family, so she just let her have fun and she didn't need to interfere in other matters.

Whether Yang Xiaolin is managing a company or running its business, she comes into contact with countless people, so it is easy for her to deal with a rural woman.

A chaotic day passed.

The next day, Gao's mother took the eldest daughter out for a walk. The women gathered together and since they were all from the village, they had a lot to talk about. As they chatted, the topic turned to raising daughters.

"Mother Gao Shan, you still have to let your daughter raise a son. Otherwise, it would be a loss if so much money fell into the hands of others."

Everything you say is for Gao Shan.

Gao's mother slapped her thigh and agreed, "Who said it wasn't true? My daughter is also unlucky. I have raised two children but still don't have a son. I am so worried!"

"Fortunately, her husband's family are all very considerate people, and they love girls! They raise them to be plump and white, and they don't want to let go of them when they hold them in their arms. They love them just by looking at them. Otherwise, they would suffer!"

"Those two kids are really well raised. You can tell at a glance that they are well cared for. They are chubby and I don't want to let go when I hold them in my arms."

"If we had a daughter in the past, we would definitely not take it seriously. Not only would we not be able to take good care of the confinement period, we would also be blamed. My daughter is lucky to have a good in-law family, so I don't want to have these concerns."

Although Gao's mother really hopes that her daughter will raise a son, she doesn't want to be looked down upon by others. She must arouse envy and let these jealous people see that her daughter can be just as popular even if she gives birth to a daughter.

Not only did the family members not cause any trouble for Gao's mother, but they were actually so annoyed by her bragging that they didn't want to talk anymore and each of them found excuses to slip away.

Gao Shan was afraid that her mother had been brainwashed, so she took her little daughter out to look for the people. But when she saw her mother defeat the people, those who had made fun of her all walked away.

She was naturally happy in her heart, after all, her mother was still on her side!

"Thank you, Mom. You still care about me."

Gao's mother restrained her smile and said anxiously, "Look at how many people are watching you. You still need a son to gain a firm foothold!"

"Wait until you recover and then get pregnant. Families like ours all want sons, not to mention that they have a lot of wealth. Don't be so stupid as to not know how to take advantage of it."

"I know you don't want to hear this, but you need a son to carry on the family line!"

Gao Shan was so depressed that she didn't know what to say. She thought her mother had changed, and the topic kept coming back.

She had just finished her confinement and was in a hurry to get it. He didn't consider her health for a long time and was only thinking about other people's money.

"Mom, if you don't know, you might think you're my mother-in-law. Even if you were my mother-in-law, they would keep telling me to take good care of my health. But you don't care about me at all."

Because of this, the mother and daughter had a quarrel.

When we returned, we were not in good condition.

As soon as Chen Dongsheng's wife saw Gao Shan's face, she knew the reason. She pulled Gao's mother over to persuade her and finally suppressed her thoughts.

As a result, Gao's mother felt uncomfortable staying around, as she was not needed. People who were used to being busy suddenly had nothing to do, and she felt unhappy all over.

Seeing that her daughter was well taken care of, she didn't want to stay here and asked to go back. She would not be well-liked if she stayed any longer. She could only wait for a year or two and then persuade her. "I'm going back. Anyway, your mother-in-law is here and you don't need me."

Gao Shan didn't stop her. "You can go back. My sister-in-law just gave birth and she definitely needs you."

Gao's mother said, "She's already out of confinement, how can she help? It's good enough that she doesn't have to work."

Gao Shan: “…”

With the departure of Gao's mother, the Chen family also started looking for a nanny. After being away for a long time, it was time to go home. Before leaving, they had to find a nanny. No one would feel at ease without someone to help.

Finally, I found a military wife. Her children were in school and she had plenty of time. After more than a month of observation, I found that she was honest and stable, had a good temperament, and could take good care of the children.

After observing for a few days, you will see that they are used to taking care of children, are very skilled, and treat children attentively enough, so you don't have to worry.

When the family members knew that Chen Shi was looking for a nanny, they started talking about it again. They said that a half-grown child could be taken care of by one person, so why bother hiring a nanny? It was too pretentious.

But no matter how much people talk about it, they still have to treat the guests.

We don't need this little money, so why can't we live a good life?
If more people lend a hand, you won’t be too tired.

It's worth the money.

When Gao Shan took her baby out for a walk, someone told her that it was not cost-effective to hire a nanny and it would be better for her to work harder herself!

How can I spend the little money I save after working so hard for a month? When children grow up, there are more places to spend money!
Gao Shan explained, "My mother-in-law and her family are going back. They are worried because no one is there to help them. We can't refuse their kindness."

"The old man in my family is very free and easy. We didn't have to pay for the nanny. They gave it to us and kept saying that they didn't want a nanny. They were worried about him leaving, so I had no choice but to agree."

"My family members sympathize with me, how can I not accept it!"

"Besides, I'm really worried that I can't take care of the baby by myself. If the baby cries, I'm afraid I'll cry too!"

When the military wives heard her light-hearted words, their eyes almost dropped with envy.

Why doesn’t their family have this condition?

Who wants to be tired when you can be comfortable?

In the end, it’s all because we’re short of money. Who would be willing to work hard when they have money?

"You are so lucky to find such a good in-law family."

Gao Shan nodded, "Indeed, even though I gave birth to two little girls, no one disliked them. They were so precious to me when I held them in my arms. My mother actually complained about it, so I am really lucky."

"Same person, different names. This saying really makes sense."

Family members: “…” They thought they were making others unhappy, but in the end, they were the ones who were unhappy.

Gao Shan was very happy and was not affected at all. Instead, she stabbed all those jealous people in the back, and they all felt uncomfortable.

Gao Shan watched people find excuses to leave and laughed heartily. She felt that it was a very good thing not to be laughed at.

Chen Huaiyang and the others naturally didn’t know about this, and they set out on their journey home, a group of people who were eager to go home.
