Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days
Chapter 515 Youcai and Guoxiang quarrel
The day after Zhuzhu and others came back, Jilin and Tong Shuyu came back together.
In fact, Ji Lin had gone on holiday a long time ago, but Tong Shuyu went on holiday later. She worked in a private company and stayed there until the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.
She works as a designer and has a heavy workload.
Zhuzhu was very curious, "Sister Shuyu, why didn't you go to my second brother's company? His company is always recruiting people."
Tong Shuyu was slightly stunned.
Ergou smiled and said, "Our factory is mainly responsible for production, and the design plan is provided by the brand. Our factory does not employ designers."
Zhuzhu suddenly realized that it didn't match.
Zhang Xiuhua was curious, "I think you can't just keep working for others. You have to have something unique of your own to avoid being eliminated by others."
Ergou was thoughtful, "Godmother, do you want me to start a clothing brand too?"
Zhang Xiuhua shook her head. She thought for a moment and said, "No! You can develop new fabrics like Jidong did. If you develop new fabrics, your garment factory will have core competitiveness."
Ergou knew nothing about this, but Jidong pointed out the significance, "This may be difficult. Because developing new fabrics requires high-tech talents and a large amount of R&D funds. He likes to make quick money. R&D requires a long time, and he doesn't have that much time. I think he can make expensive fabrics more affordable. Sign contracts with large breeders, and give priority to supplying furs from foxes and minks to your factory. This will mean you have a good reputation."
Ergou understood that this kind of genuine leather is indeed only used by big brands.
He thought for a while and sighed, "I need to think about it carefully. This is a big matter and we can't rush it."
Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "I'm just giving you a reference. You are the one who makes the decision."
She didn't know much about business and was afraid of leading Ergou into trouble.
In the evening, Tong Shuyu found Zhang Xiuhua and paid her back the tuition and living expenses he owed her over the years, a total of three thousand yuan.
Zhang Xiuhua looked at the stacks of banknotes and asked, "Where did so many come from?"
She knew Tong Shuyu's salary, which was more than 400 yuan a month. It had only been half a year since she graduated. How could she have saved so much money?
"I will do a part-time job after get off work." Tong Shuyu was a little embarrassed. "The money I make from selling things on the street is higher than my regular job. I also want to see if anyone recognizes the clothes I designed."
Zhang Xiuhua knew she was anxious, so she didn't say anything. She only asked her one question, "Do you have any money on hand?"
"Yes." Tong Shuyu bowed to her, "Aunt Zhang, I don't have enough money, so I can't give you the interest. I'll give it to you next year."
"Why do I need interest? If you can get into college, my money is worth it. You should be good in the future. Don't let yourself suffer. Eat something good to replenish yourself. You have lost weight." Zhang Xiuhua likes girls who are ambitious. This proves that her money is not wasted.
Tong Shuyu felt warm in her heart and responded sweetly.

After all the children came back, the village became lively. Their favorite thing was to listen to gossip in the village. Even Jidong was very enthusiastic about this. When they heard that someone was going to meet someone, they all ran out to watch the fun.
I used to be about the same age as them, but now I’m of marriageable age.
In order to meet each other, they bought new clothes and dressed themselves up like peacocks, and the children teased them.
Some families find it easy to find a wife, such as the son of the brigade accountant, the second grandson of the old village chief, etc. But there are also families with difficulties, such as Tielihua's son Tieniu.
When they were young, the children in Zhang Xiuhua's family all wore shoes made of iron pear flowers.
Upon learning that Tie Niu had tried to date her seven or eight times without success, Tie Lihua became extremely worried and came to Zhang Xiuhua to cry.
Zhang Xiuhua is very popular in the village. She is one of the few women in the village who works outside and speaks very cultured. She also speaks very nicely, unlike others who only want to gossip and laugh at her behind her back.
Zhang Xiuhua was puzzled when she learned that Tie Niu couldn't find a wife. The child wasn't ugly. She was above average height. She was also good at work. How could she not find one?
She asked Tielihua, "What did Fourth Aunt say?"
Ever since Zhang Jinbao was cheated into marriage, Aunt Li Si's matchmaking business has obviously improved. They all live in the same village, so they definitely can't cheat their own people.
Aunt Li Si knows all the women she finds. The role of a matchmaker is not only to introduce the couple, but also to help them get together. If it doesn't work out, she will definitely explain the reason.
Tielihua rubbed her eyes. It was an old problem for her. She used to do too much needlework, and her eyesight wasn't very good anymore. Everything she saw was blurry.
She said, "Fourth Aunt said that the woman dislikes me because I am a widow and will treat her daughter-in-law harshly in the future."
This statement does make sense. Because many single mothers are too nervous about their sons, and when their sons get married, they are unwilling to leave gracefully. If the relationship between husband and wife is not good, life will not go on. If the family is rich, the woman's family may still marry into the family, but Tielihua is a widow with a child and has limited money on hand. She can't afford a high bride price.
Zhang Xiuhua felt that this matter was really difficult to handle. Tielihua also had no way to prove that she was not a wicked mother-in-law.
Seeing that his godmother couldn't think of a solution, Ergou came up with an idea for Tielihua, "Aunt Tie, you can let Tieniu go out to work. Maybe he can find a girlfriend. If he stays in his hometown all the time, it will be difficult for him to find a girlfriend."
Jidong also echoed, "Yes, now many women of marriageable age go out to work when they reach a certain age, and some don't even come back for the New Year."
Working overtime during the Spring Festival can double your salary, so many people are eager to do it.
Tielihua was a little embarrassed, "But can a wife from another place be trusted? Will she run away?"
"If you treat her well, why would she run away? People are all made of flesh and blood. Besides, Tieniu doesn't have much money that is worth others' concern." Ergou felt that there is no construction without destruction. If he doesn't go out, he will always stay in this remote place and won't see how big the outside world is.
Tielihua felt that this was a big deal, and she was worried about her son working in another place, "I need to go back and think about it."
After she finished speaking, she left. Zhang Xiuhua glanced at the clock, then at the child, "Is there any talent?"
It’s almost time for dinner, why is Youcai gone?
Jidong smiled and said, "Guoxiang came to see him just now, and the two of them went out for a stroll."
Zhang Xiuhua frowned, "He's not going to show off again, is he?"
Is Guoxiang fighting with Youcai? He shows off to Youcai whenever he comes back. Can't he show off to someone else? Does he have to fight with Youcai alone?
Ergou let out a mocking smile. "What is he bragging about? Youcai has already opened six stores. What does he have? That factory is half dead now, and the annual profit is not as much as it makes in just one month. He wants to show off in front of Youcai, but he is overestimating himself."
In fact, just as Er'er guessed, Youcai asked Guoxiang what he was busy with this year.
Guoxiang sighed, "At the end of the year, the brewery distributed dividends, and I took them back to start a new business. Business has improved a little. It's only slightly better than working, but it involves huge risks."
Youcai advised him to take smaller steps, "Business will get better and better in the future. The factory is built step by step. You can't get fat in one bite."
Guoxiang nodded. He didn't want to talk about himself anymore, so he asked Youcai, "I heard from Ergou that you opened six restaurants. You are making a lot of money, right?"
Every time Ergou comes home for the Spring Festival, he shows off in the village in various ways. He not only shows off himself, but also his family members. Except for Zhang Xiuhua who likes to keep a low profile and doesn't like to show off, he doesn't let anyone off.
Youcai never manages the accounts. He is a chef and is busy cooking and tutoring August every day. If he manages the accounts, he will be exhausted. He said honestly, "My wife manages the accounts in my house."
Guo Xiang looked at him in surprise, "You let her manage the accounts? Aren't you afraid that she will miss out on the money?"
Youcai laughed, "She is my wife. If I don't even have this little trust in her, why would I get married?"
Although Zhenzhen's feelings for him were not love, she had a good heart and could see his efforts. Moreover, Zhenzhen was not a person who had her head in the sky. If they really broke up one day, Zhenzhen would definitely divide the money into two and would not engage in those conspiracies.
Guoxiang thought Youcai was too stupid. "When my factory ran into financial problems, Xiaoli didn't take advantage of the situation to divorce me. I wouldn't be so passive. She took away the valuable shop and left me with a mess. You'd better be careful. Haven't you heard the saying: Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes."
Youcai glanced at him and endured it again and again, "Don't blame her for being cruel. When you got rich, why didn't you think about being a couple? When Xiaoli married you, she also wanted to live with you. But how did you treat her? As soon as you had a little money, you became arrogant and brought home women from outside. This is a slap in her face. Look at Ergou. He has made so much money, do you think he has other women? He is still unmarried."
When compared to others, you have to be a fool. Ergou has been to as many brothels as Guoxiang. Take Hong Kong for example, where prostitution is legal, but Ergou has never crossed the line. In Jidong's words, there are thousands of successful people in this world, but they all have one thing in common, that is, self-control.
Guoxiang gnashed his teeth in anger, "I gave you a good warning, but you just ignored my kindness."
He walked away, turned around and looked at Zhenzhen who was looking for Youcai. He snorted and walked straight past her.
