The house is ancient, and was taken home by a rough man and spoiled

Chapter 381 Shen Hua is worried

Shen Hua glanced at Feng Jianning calmly, and seeing the light in his eyes, he seemed to have an idea in his mind.

"Brother, the wages in the tofu skin workshop are so high, I want to go and work there too."

Shen Lan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

If she had ten taels of silver a month, no one would look down on her.

Shen Hua was shocked, looked at Shen Lan, and refused without thinking:

"No, you can't go. You think that job is easy? You have to knead the yuba in boiling hot soy milk, and your fingers will get cracks from being burned. What can you do?"

Shen Hua was not exaggerating. Some of the aunts already had tiny cracks on their fingertips.

Fortunately, after a long time, thick calluses will grow and I am no longer afraid of the burn.

When Shen Lan heard that the fingertips would crack, she looked at her own slender fingers and couldn't help but shudder.

"I don't make bean curd sticks. I heard there are logistics and no heavy work. He is our cousin. He can support so many idle people, why can't he accommodate me?"

The operation of the tofu skin workshop had long been known in the town, and Shen Lan had also heard something about it.

In addition to the workers, there are also many logistics personnel divided into many departments. She doesn't understand what they understand, but anyway, the logistics people don't have to do heavy work.

"What Shen Lan said makes sense. Logistics doesn't involve any heavy work, just running errands or something. Wouldn't it be more reassuring to have your own sister than to have someone else?"

Feng Chunyun expressed her full support. If her daughter could earn so much money in a month, why would she have to worry about not being able to get married?

Shen Songming, who was eating, put his chopsticks on the bowl, made a crisp sound, sighed heavily, and then said:

"Then the logistics department doesn't do heavy work, but it's not like they don't work. You know what your daughter is like. Shen Hua is there because she is taken care of by Shen Yuan. Do you still want your daughter to go there?"

After saying that, he stood up.

"What kind of work has she done since she was a child? She's not helping, she's causing trouble! She's not allowed to go!"

Leaving this sentence, he turned and went back into the house.

There was silence at the dinner table. Shen Hua breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his father had really become tough now.

"Dad is right. Logistics also involves work, and one has to be able to write. Lan'er can't write, so let's not trouble Brother Yuan. The oil refinery is so busy, and my sister can go to the refinery to help out if she has nothing to do."

Shen Hua spoke earnestly, then got up and went to find his father.

"Why would I need to know how to write? You are clearly deceiving me! I won't work in an oil refinery. It's so dirty every day."

The refinery is dusty and smells bad, so Shen Lan seldom goes there.

Shen Lan said this angrily, and Feng Chunyun gritted his teeth.

"This father and son, now that they have made money, really don't take us mother and daughter seriously, and they don't even think about who helped him settle down in the town in the first place."

Feng Chunyun was also a little angry, because just because her family was now in poverty, this man was not giving her any good face at all.

"Aunt, don't be angry. It's all our family's fault. Now we have to rely on uncle's help."

Feng Jianning lowered his head with a guilty look on his face, which made Feng Chunyun feel distressed.

"Everyone has had their down times. When I married him, our family was still prosperous, and I didn't despise him. But now he despises us."

As she spoke, Feng Chunyun almost shed tears.

"My hometown in Daliushu Village has become prosperous, but they didn't even think about helping us. What's wrong with me just going to work? How could Dad say that to me?"

Not only did Shen Lan not help to persuade, she also added fuel to the fire.

"Oh, it's all mother's fault. Your uncle's family is in trouble now, and I can't help. Your father has all the money. They are on guard against us."

Feng Chunyun was so angry that his teeth were itching.

Ever since the refinery reopened, the man had not given her a single penny and kept all the money to himself.

The last time she saw Shen Hua bringing back so much gold and silver, she wanted to lend some money to her mother's family to help them get back on their feet, but he refused to give her any.

What's more, they say that we can only help in emergencies but not in poverty.

Shen Hua didn't care what the three of them said. He went into the house and saw his father staring at the silver.

"Dad, what are you thinking about?"

Shen Songming came back to his senses, sighed lightly, patted the bedside, and motioned Shen Hua to sit over.

Shen Hua sat down obediently, and Shen Songming then spoke:

"After you left last time, your eldest uncle and second uncle came to our house to borrow money. I knew that the gold and silver you gave me were seen by your mother, otherwise they would not know that I had money."

Shen Hua really didn't know about this, so he asked, "Did you lend it to them?"

Shen Songming just shook his head.

"No, you don't know your two uncles. One of them often goes to gambling houses, and the other is lazy. None of your cousins ​​are successful. Their family has been in decline since your grandfather's generation."

Shen Hua naturally knew the situation of his uncle's family and couldn't help but nod.

"If the business is gone, it's gone. If you work hard, you will be able to make a comeback. But what about your uncle and cousin? None of them go out to work. The family depends on your mother for food, drink, and shelter. It's such a big family, and there are many men. She can always support the family with her own hands."

"But, one by one...ah, they just sit at home and eat and wait for death. If there is any capable person, I will definitely lend them money to buy a new shop. But I am afraid that this family will divide and spend all the money after taking it..."

Shen Songming finished speaking in one breath. Of course, he also had things to say. He was angry about how the Feng family treated him in the past and how the whole family looked down on him.

Shen Hua felt that what his father said was very correct. Help those in need, not the poor. Those people, even if you give them money, will just spend it instead of doing good things. Who knows, the money will even be used by his uncle for gambling.

"Dad, you did the right thing. We won't lend the money. Let's observe first. When there is someone who can really stand up, we will help him. Don't feel any psychological burden. Don't be soft-hearted just because mom cried in front of you."

"Didn't my uncle pay us for the oil we bought from his grain and oil shop? It's not a small amount of money. We didn't ask him for the payment, which is already a help. And Shen Lan, dad, you must keep an eye on her. Don't let her go to Daliushu Village to cause trouble for Brother Yuan."

After Shen Hua said this, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became.

He looked at the silver on the table and asked, "Dad, did you put the silver in the bank? How much silver do you have at home? Take it out first..."

Shen Hua told them about his plan, and the father and son pooled their money together, totaling fifty taels of silver.

"You don't believe Jianning? I see he works very hard at the oil refinery."

These days, Shen Songming really felt that Feng Jianning might have learned well. He has worked hard and been very sweet-mouthed these days.

He was thinking of observing him for a while. If he was really reliable, he would let him go out on his own and open a shop or an oil refinery. As long as he was willing to work hard, he was willing to give the Feng family a chance. It would also be a way of repaying the Feng family for lending him money to open a workshop.
