Chapter 799: Chapter 800: You're Talking Nonsense With Your Eyes Wide Open_1 Chapter 799: Chapter 800: You're Talking Nonsense With Your Eyes Wide Open_1 Does he know about this?
Commissioner Gu's parents are already raising a storm in Kyoto.
A matter this big, considering Ahao and the Commissioner are such close friends, it's impossible that Ahao doesn't know about this.
Mother Yun said with great satisfaction, “Although there's been a drought, Xiaomen and your elder sister's harvests have been pretty good. We covered an acre and harvested more than six hundred pounds of rice.” This yield is already quite high. If it weren't for the drought phase, the harvest would have been even more.
“That's good to hear.”
Yun Hao looked at Little Huzi, “Little Huzi, it's getting late. Time for you to sleep.” At this time of day, his son usually would be asleep, but today he had not slept yet.
Little Huzi glanced at the time on the clock. He had learned to tell the time, a skill his mother had taught him.
“Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, I'm going to sleep now. See you tomorrow.” Little Huzi tugged at his grandpa's sleeve and went to sleep.
“In-laws, we're going to sleep now. You guys can watch television for a while longer.” Old man Zhao ushered Little Huzi off to bed.
The two of them, grandfather and grandson, mostly spent more time together.
Mother Yun wanted to sleep with her grandson too, but she knew she needed to speak with her son more. So, she could only watch her grandson follow his grandfather to bed.
“Ahao, your eldest and second brothers don't have that variety of rice, they can't pay the public grain quota with the land they've contracted.”
Meng Yunhan looked at Ahao. Before now, his parents-in-law never mentioned this to her. She had however guessed it, but as they didn't talk about it, she naturally didn't ask.
“Your second brother went to the county town to find work, shortly after harvesting the rice.”
Meng Yunhan wanted to say that finding work wasn't so easy, but many overseas Chinese are returning to set up factories these days. Maybe he would run into one, and find work.
Yun Hao knew why his mother said this.
“Perhaps this is an opportunity for your second brother. Maybe when he leaves, he will find work and have a steady income every month.”
That's just wishful thinking.
Finding work isn't that easy.
At least not for a few more years, when jobs will be easy to find.
It's said that the eighties was the golden age.
Because there were no counterfeit products at the time. As long as you were brave and willing, you could make money.
“Ahao is right, your second brother will find work soon.” Father Yun did not want Mother Yun to continue saying such things.
If elder brother's family and second brother's family couldn't get by, it would be a result of their own doing.
How could his wife think about helping them, now that Ahao's family is doing well?
After the incident that happened, there's no way things could go back to how they used to be between them.
After some discussion, Father Yun took Mother Yun to bed.
“You're getting better at talking. Is this a case of 'who you spend time with is who you become'?” Meng Yunhan chuckled.
Yun Hao took hold of his wife's hand, “That's how Mother is, wife. Don't stoop to Mother's level.”
He feared his wife would take these unnecessary issues to heart.
“If I were one to fuss, I would've been driven insane by now.” Meng Yunhan felt her tolerance had really expanded. Otherwise, she would've been beyond upset.
Her mother-in-law clearly knew about the conflicts she had with her elder and second brother's family, yet she still brought them up in front of her.
Meng Yunhan didn't think that her second brother would be struggling. He is smart, and finding work when going into the world won't be a problem. She thought, she, a woman, could find a job paying fifty yuan a month, he, a man, would definitely be able to find work as well.
Meng Yunhan, you have indeed matured!
