Chapter 75 The Best of Both Worlds
Serving dishes and washing dishes in a restaurant is not easy. The wages are low, but the work is heavy, tiring and dirty.

Grandma Shen felt sorry for her daughter, so she said: "It's going to be cold soon, and Axiu's hands will get frostbite, soaking in cold water all day, that's going to be a pain, let's change it."

Grandpa Shen is a rough man who can bathe in cold water in winter, how can he experience the pain of cold water when he has chilblains.

The old man frowned and said, "Whoever washes the dishes and dishes, what can he suffer? How can our children be so hypocritical?!"

Grandma Shen was so angry that she yelled at him, "Don't mess around here if you don't understand, why does Axiu have frostbite? It's not because I had too many hard times when I was a child, and she still has to help me wash clothes and do laundry in the cold winter months." housework.

You don't know that it's okay to feel sorry for your daughter, and even scold her for being hypocritical. I think you are the most hypocritical person in our family! "

Grandpa Shen also got angry, stood up quickly and said: "You can't do this, you can't do that, just don't do anything, just stay at home, I will take care of her!"

Seeing that the old couple was about to quarrel, Shen Qiuqiu hurriedly tried to persuade them to make peace.

"Grandpa, grandma, stop arguing and listen to me."

The old couple snorted angrily at the same time, and turned their heads away from each other at the same time.

People who have been with each other for a lifetime, even in quarrels have a tacit understanding.

Shen Qiuqiu covered her mouth and smiled for a while. After being glared at by Grandma Shen, she put away her smiling face and started talking about business.

"Sister-in-law, the price of goods is rising, and the money in your hands will only become less and less valuable. You can't spend your whole life guarding the 10 yuan in your hands.

I don't know what plans you have for your future, but first you have to live.

You can't always think about relying on someone, and relying on anyone is worse than relying on yourself.

Song Na is still young. When she grows up, she will have her own life and her own small family. It is impossible for her to take care of you for the rest of her life. The same is true for her grandparents. They will not be able to take care of you for a lifetime when they are old.

You need to be able to live independently and sustain yourself. "

To Shen Xiu, these words were simply fantasy.

Song Na is her daughter, so she has to take care of her for the rest of her life, otherwise why would she be born and raised?
Subconsciously, she wanted to refute Shen Qiuqiu's words, she opened her mouth, but dared not say anything.

Seeing that she was silent, Shen Qiuqiu continued: "Since you don't want to go out, my suggestion is to stay in the village, contract a few acres of land, and grow fruits with me.

It is too late to plant strawberries now, you can wait until March next year to plant passionflower.

The investment does not need too much, 2 or [-] yuan is enough.

Relatively speaking, the risk of growing passionflower is much lower. According to this year's market, it should not be difficult to make a little money. "

This is the most pertinent suggestion, and it is also the most suitable for Shen Xiu. Her temperament is indeed not suitable for going outside alone.

With Shen Qiuqiu leading her hand in hand, the risk Shen Xiu has to bear is actually very small, making money is definitely not a problem.

Earn tens of thousands of yuan a year, so that the basic life will be guaranteed; in the future, if you save money, you can go to the city to buy a house for the elderly.

But Shen Xiu couldn't think about such a long-term thing at all. When she heard that she was going to invest 2 to [-] yuan, she felt a little uneasy.

"Why do you have to invest so much money? What if you lose money? Can the passionflower that rots in the mountains and no one wants it really be sold?"

Faced with Shen Xiu's continuous questioning, Shen Qiuqiu was also a little helpless.

Before deciding to plant passionflower, she did a serious market research and decided to plant it after confirming that passionflower had a market prospect.

But there are unpredictable things, and she can't talk too much, and she really can't guarantee that this must be a sure-fire deal.

She organized her words in her mind, and said tactfully: "No matter what you do, there will be risks. I can't say that planting passionflower will definitely make a steady profit without losing money, but the chance of losing money is very small."

If it is very small, it is still possible to lose money.

Shen Xiu couldn't help being a little excited, "What if I lose money? I heard you and divorced, and now I have nothing, no house, no family... It's only 10 yuan, if I lose it, I'll pay How will you spend half your life? How will you provide for the elderly in the future?"

Grandpa Shen couldn't stand her bastard words, slapped the table and scolded angrily: "What do you mean by listening to us and getting divorced?! I asked you to divorce for your own good! If you feel that life in Lao Song's house is easy, I will kill you right now." Send it back!"

Shen Xiu's eyes turned red all of a sudden, she lowered her head and stopped talking.

Shen Qiuqiu sighed, it seems that my sister-in-law is really unwilling to contract the land to grow fruits.

She thought about it and came up with a new plan.

"Sister-in-law, if you really can't do it, you can come and help me.

The strawberry field also needs manpower, and the passionflower will be planted after the next year. Grandpa and I will definitely be too busy. "

Asking Shen Xiu to stay at home to help, Shen Qiuqiu thought about it from the very beginning, but she herself quickly vetoed this idea.

Shen Xiu has always been used to relying on others to live, her personality is weak, and she has no assertiveness. Such a personality is actually very unpleasant, and it will be difficult for her to survive in society in the future.

That's why Shen Qiuqiu wanted her to get out of her comfort zone and become self-reliant; in this way, her future life would also be guaranteed.

But she herself seems to have gotten used to this way of life and doesn't want to change it.

What kind of lifestyle she chooses is her own freedom, and it is impossible for Shen Qiuqiu to really drive her out of the house and force her to be independent.

Hearing that she could stay, Shen Xiu suddenly raised her head to look at Shen Qiuqiu, her expression turned from sadness to joy, "Really? Can I really stay at home?"

Shen Qiuqiu nodded, "Well, if you stay at home and help with the farm work, you will be paid the same salary, 2000 yuan per month; when the situation improves, I will raise your salary."

Being able to stay at home and still have money, Shen Xiu smiled so much that her mouth almost reached her ears, "We are all one family, even if you don't pay me, I will do it."

Grandpa Shen did not agree with giving Shen Xiu wages, he frowned and said: "What? For her to eat, for her to live, but also to give her wages?"

One is his own daughter, the other is his own granddaughter, the old man is not for anyone, just discussing the matter as it stands.

Shen Qiuqiu smiled and said: "Sister-in-law can't keep working for us for nothing, my brother has to settle accounts clearly, and now going outside to hire someone to help with work also costs money."

With a salary of 2000 yuan a month to hire a young and strong labor force, Shen Xiu is the one who suffers; but she can't help but want to do it herself.

Grandpa Shen thought for a while, then nodded, then turned to Shen Xiuyu and said earnestly: "You will be a wage earner in the future, work hard, and don't be lazy, or your wages will be deducted."

Shen Xiu nodded vigorously, "Okay, I will definitely do it well."

She's just soft-tempered and doesn't dare to take on things; but everyone has advantages, and her advantage is that she can endure hardships, and she is unambiguous in her work, which is better than men.

After struggling with things all morning, I finally came to a conclusion.

Shen Xiu was naturally the happiest, feeling relaxed; although Grandpa Shen didn't say anything, the bright smile on his face represented that he was in a good mood.

In this way, it can be regarded as the best of both worlds.
