Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Gratitude

The whole family, even the youngest, agreed to send Song’s Eldest Sister-in-Law back to her parents’ home, showing how much of a failure she was in this family.

Song’s Eldest Brother thought about the recent days at home and his wife’s constant nagging about how his little sister didn’t care about the family and how good her family was.

So he weakly looked at Song’s Eldest Sister-in-Law and said, “Then I’ll send you back for a while tomorrow.”

“You!” Song’s Eldest Sister-in-Law was so angry that she couldn’t help but pinch him a few times. “You heartless man.”

Tang Feng was too lazy to watch them “flirt,” and pulled Song Youfu out the door. Anyway, tomorrow she would definitely supervise her eldest son to send this spendthrift woman back.

Song’s Second Eldest Brother and Song Lao Si also went out for a walk.

Song’s Second Eldest Brother’s Wife took the three little ones out. She also felt that her eldest sister-in-law was indeed too much.

Her family was also the kind that favored boys over girls. From childhood to adulthood, all the work was done by the sisters. Her life in her parents’ home was not as good as in her husband’s family. At least here, they could eat their fill and wear warm clothes, and the work was not too heavy.

Although her mother-in-law was a bit fierce, she was not bad to them. Her husband was also restrained by her little sister-in-law. Her daughter had been eating well recently and had gained some weight. Everything was developing in a good direction. She still cherished the current days.

Therefore, she couldn’t understand why her eldest sister-in-law didn’t live a good life, but always wanted to subsidize her bottomless pit of a family. They might be laughing at her behind her back for being stupid.

Song Chu put down her basket and went out to find her eldest maternal uncle.

Song’s Eldest Sister-in-Law was left completely stunned. She was actually isolated by the whole family. Why!

If her family was doing well, she could also stand tall. What’s wrong with helping them out?

Song’s Eldest Brother was not really stupid. He was just used to being honest. After so many years of marriage, he still understood his wife. He knew what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.

He sighed, “You should go back to your parents’ home tomorrow and think about it.”

“Are you really going to send me away?” Song’s Eldest Sister-in-Law raised her head abruptly, staring at him in disbelief.

Song’s Eldest Brother patted his head and smiled, “I suddenly remembered that I forgot to clean the pigsty today. I’ll go check.”

Then he quickly slipped away, leaving Song’s Eldest Sister-in-Law staring blankly in the courtyard.

When Song Chu arrived at the Tang family’s house, they were also preparing to go out for a walk.

Now there was no television, no mobile phones, and no entertainment. So after dinner, each household would go to the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village and stand in groups, chatting and gossiping.

Today’s biggest gossip was naturally the things Song Chu brought back.

Tang Feng and Song Youfu were surrounded by many people, praising Song Chu in various ways, and then wanting them to help get their children into the oil pressing workshop.

Tang Feng smiled proudly as she was praised by everyone, but she didn’t budge on this matter. She wasn’t a fool. How could she be swayed by a few praises and then let her daughter use connections to help others?

This was the first time Song Youfu had received such enthusiastic praise from the villagers. He couldn’t help but feel a little carried away. When someone asked for help, he almost agreed.

Fortunately, he remembered in time that he couldn’t make decisions at home. Thinking of his eldest daughter-in-law who would be sent back to her parents’ home tomorrow, his mind cleared up immediately. He smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.

Song’s Eldest Uncle and Song’s Second Eldest Uncle were originally worried that their soft-hearted third brother would randomly agree. Seeing that he was still clear-headed, they were relieved. It seemed that not only had their niece become capable, but their third brother had also improved a bit.

Today, some people said that they took advantage of being Song Chu’s relatives and let their sons enter the oil pressing workshop. They didn’t pay attention to such sour words.

At the beginning, no one was optimistic about the oil pressing workshop, but their own family naturally had to support their own family. That’s why they let their sons go to help. They actually didn’t expect to have such good treatment.

Now they only felt grateful for their decision at the beginning. They would never let their sons leave the workshop. They entered through their own ability. Who told others not to sign up at the beginning?

They stood tall. Their niece was capable, so what?

Those who spoke sour words would never be able to envy them. They were proud!

When Song Chu entered the door, she was warmly greeted by her two cousins’ wives. This was a rare first.

◈◈◈

She also smiled and greeted everyone in the Tang family.

Tang Min looked at his niece now and felt that she was good in every way. “Chu Chu, do you need something?”

Song Chu nodded, “I have something to discuss with Eldest Maternal Uncle.”

“Come and sit.” Tang Min took her to the courtyard to sit down.

After Song Chu sat down, she first talked about the work exchange.

Tang Min thought for a while and said, “The work exchange is not a big problem. Let those who carry manure receive three bags of sugar every month. There will definitely be people fighting to do it. No one will gossip anymore.”

“But letting those people cut pigweed, isn’t this work a bit too light?”

He himself had no opinion on those people. In addition to letting them work, he not only didn’t deduct their food, but actually gave them a little more.

Song Chu talked about some of the content she saw in the newspaper today. “Eldest Maternal Uncle, from these newspapers, we can actually see that the policy is now beginning to change and loosen up.”

“I think it will definitely not continue like this. Maybe in two years, they can go back. Being more kind to them is good for you and the people in the village.”

“Besides, cutting grass to feed pigs is also work. They used to carry manure too.”

Tang Min thought deeply for a moment, “Okay, then let’s do as you said.”

The villagers didn’t pay much attention to them. It was okay to arrange the work exchange privately.

After talking about this, Song Chu smiled and said, “Eldest Maternal Uncle, Educated Youth Gu has developed a chick incubator that can hatch a large number of chicks. We are going to the county town in two days to ask the machinery factory to produce it.”

“If the incubator experiment is successful, I want to open a chicken farm in the village.”

Tang Min had heard Song Chu say before that she wanted to open a breeding farm. He originally thought she was just talking. He didn’t expect her to take action so soon.

“It’s not easy to open a chicken farm. It’s not easy to raise a large flock of chickens!” he said.

Song Chu took out a notebook from her shoulder bag and handed it over. “Last time I went to the library, I copied down a lot of scientific breeding methods. There are many about raising chickens. Take a look first.”

Tang Min took the notebook and looked at it carefully. The more he read, the more surprised he became.

So there were so many things to pay attention to when raising pigs and chickens. No wonder the chickens in a chicken farm opened by a commune village before all died of disease. It seemed that they didn’t raise chickens scientifically.

He was a decisive person. Seeing the achievements of Song Chu’s oil pressing workshop, he was still willing to trust her again.

“Since you are so well prepared, then let’s give it a try. If it’s successful, I and the village cadres will definitely support it.”

Song Chu smiled brightly, “Thank you, Eldest Maternal Uncle. I will definitely do a good job.”

She was very grateful that she had an open-minded eldest maternal uncle who was the production brigade leader and was willing to indulge her.
