Chapter 135: Climbing Such Relations, It Feels Like Ancestral Luck
Chapter 135: Climbing Such Relations, It Feels Like Ancestral Luck
Poxin Village.
After breakfast, Zhang Zhenfa energetically hopped on his bicycle and set off to the more remote villages to purchase agricultural products.
Ever since his daughter brought her husband back on the second day of the New Year and persuaded him, Zhang Zhenfa no longer hesitated. He used the money to buy a small house in Longtan Market and a half-used second-hand bicycle. Once he obtained the business license, he officially opened his store and started trading.
The results left the entire Zhang family extremely excited.
In the first ten days since the store opened, the daily profit was minimal, just a few cents. However, on market days, things were different. Longtan Market was one of the top three markets in Bobai County, with no fewer than 27,000 people gathering for each market day.
In such a vast market, even though Zhang Zhenfa’s store was new and not well-known, it still managed to generate over ten yuan in profit during each market day.
With nine market days in a month, even at the lowest profit of ten yuan per market day, he could earn 90 yuan. Adding the small earnings from other days, the total profit would definitely exceed 100 yuan.
Now, with five family members working in the store, the average monthly income per person was around 20 yuan, which was quite substantial.
Moreover, this was just the profit from a new store. Once it gained more recognition, the profits were expected to increase even further.
Therefore, whether it was Zhang Zhenfa, his two sons, or his daughters-in-law, everyone was brimming with enthusiasm, driven by the visible profits. A few days ago, Zhang Zhenfa even bit the bullet and bought another old bicycle, so he and his sons could work together, making the acquisition of agricultural products more efficient.
Zhang Zhenfa hummed an unknown tune as he rode his bicycle to a remote village, feeling both happy and deeply impressed by Deng Shirong's foresight. Just by pointing them in the right direction, Deng had helped them earn a "fortune." It was truly amazing!
...
10:30 AM.
Deng Shirong arrived at Poxin Village with a pig's hind leg and two packages of candy and cookies.
The pig's hind leg was taken from the system space, a gift from Zhang Kangmei and Deng Changmei after their wedding. They had only eaten about a fifth of it, and there was still plenty of braised pork and pig's hind leg left.
Although Deng Shirong’s main purpose for visiting Poxin Village was to arrange a marriage for Deng Changyuan, his in-laws also lived there. He felt it was only right to visit them first before attending to his main business, to avoid any gossip.
Approaching the house of his in-laws, he saw his mother-in-law feeding her grandson porridge and greeted her, "Mother-in-law."
Zhang’s mother turned around, her face lighting up with surprise. "Father-in-law has come! Oh my, you didn’t have to bring so much. Come in and have a pipe of tobacco first."
As she spoke, she set the bowl and spoon aside and fetched a tobacco pipe for Deng Shirong.
Deng Shirong handed the pig's hind leg and one package of candy and cookies to his mother-in-law, taking the tobacco pipe with a smile. "I’m here to arrange a marriage for Ouguo Hua, and I thought I’d stop by to see you as well."
Zhang’s mother took the pig's hind leg and the candy and cookies, looking surprised. "Father-in-law, you’re here to arrange a marriage for Ah Hua?"
Sitting down, Deng Shirong nodded and fished out some tobacco and matches from his pocket, smiling. "Ah Ping hopes her childhood friend can also marry into our village and be her companion. So, after she married into our family, she has been actively trying to set up a match for her friend."
Last year, when Ahping came to visit our home and got married, Ahua also came to our house twice. The two young people have met twice now, and they’ve both expressed a desire to continue their relationship. So, I’ve come to discuss this with her parents and see if we can arrange this marriage.”
Zhang’s mother was taken aback, and after a moment, she sighed, “Ahping and the Ahua sisters have grown up together and are closer than blood sisters. She definitely wants the Ou sisters to marry into the same place as she did. She has no experience in this matter, so you must help her make the right decision. Otherwise, her good intentions might end up ruining Ahua’s happiness.”
Deng Shirong stuffed the tobacco into his pipe, lit a match, and took a few puffs before he said, “Don’t worry, Mother-in-law. I’ll make sure to help. The young man from our village has grown up with my son Yuntai and is his best friend. I know his character well. If Ahua marries him, I can’t promise that she’ll have the best life, but it won’t be bad either.”
“That’s a relief!”
Hearing that the potential groom was a close friend of her son-in-law, Zhang’s mother felt reassured. As the saying goes, hardworking people don’t have lazy friends. Her son-in-law was so excellent, so his best friend must be decent too.
“Father-in-law, we have some congee at home. Come in and have a couple of bowls. I’ll start preparing lunch right away.”
“No need. I’ve already eaten at home and am not hungry yet. I don’t want to trouble you with lunch. I’m going to Ahua’s house to discuss the matter, and then I plan to head to the mountain pass, so don’t worry about me.”
After smoking a few more pipes, Deng Shirong put his pipe aside and asked, “Mother-in-law, where are Father-in-law and the rest of the family?”
Zhang’s mother smiled, her face beaming with joy. “Father-in-law, after following your advice, we recently opened a shop in Longtan Market. Business has been good, and they’re all busy with the store.”
Deng Shirong nodded and smiled. “That’s great. Just keep it steady and focus on good service. The business will only get better.”
Zhang’s mother nodded in agreement. “I’ll pass on your words to them.”
After a few more moments of conversation, Deng Shirong stood up and smiled. “Mother-in-law, I’ll go to Ahua’s house to arrange the marriage. Once I’m done, I’ll head straight to the mountain pass, so I won’t come back to say goodbye.”
Zhang’s mother insisted he come back for lunch after he was done, but Deng Shirong politely declined. After confirming the directions, he mounted his bicycle and headed to Ou Guohua’s house, carrying the remaining package of sweets and pastries.
Zhang’s mother watched as her father-in-law left, then she went to the kitchen with a smile, hanging the ten-pound pork butt she had received.
Her daughter’s father-in-law was truly impeccable. Every time he visited, he never came empty-handed, and he was incredibly generous. Even today, just a casual visit, he brought a package of sweets and a ten-pound pork butt.
The Zhang family was truly blessed to have such a relative.
