Chapter 218 Discussion
After dinner and washing up in the evening, Ji Wenhe sat cross-legged on the bed, waiting for someone to come in.
Shen Rongshan went into the room and closed the door, then heard her say, "I have something I want to discuss with you."
He came to the bed and sat down: "Well, you say."
"I want to wait until next year or the year after to let Wenshan and Yuanshan learn a craft, such as carpentry."
"You see, doing business is not a long-term thing. It is very likely that one day you will encounter force majeure and you will not be able to continue."
"In the past, peddlers often came to the village, but because of the famine and war, peddlers have not been to the village for several years."
"Our family is doing well now, but who knows what will happen in the future. Learning a skill will prevent us from starving to death and can also be passed on to the next generation."
Shen Rongshan felt that what she said made sense: "Wen He, thank you."
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for thinking about them."
Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "They sincerely call me sister-in-law and treat me as their own family, so I naturally have to sincerely think about their future."
She lowered her voice and said, "Actually, there are many reasons why I want them to learn a craft."
"For example." He leaned closer to her, "I'm a little curious. Tell me about it."
"It's very simple. I'm the only woman in our family. All the money is in my hands. You have to listen to me in everything."
"But after they get married, the money they earn can't still be in my hands. It will be divided equally among the three families."
"I'm just afraid that as time goes on, you brothers will have conflicts over money."
He nodded.
Ji Wenhe continued, "When they have children, the expenses will increase, and money will be needed everywhere, to be honest."
At this point she paused and said, "What if, I mean what if, what if they choose a wife who is difficult to get along with, and say behind our backs that the money we divided was not evenly and that we embezzled a lot of it."
"We have to assume various possibilities and choose the most appropriate one."
She raised her hand and touched his arm: "I tell you, when the time comes, we can split the money we make from selling the goods with them. After all, you three brothers have contributed a lot."
"But I won't share a penny of the money I make from selling patterns with them. It's mine."
Shen Rongshan held her in his arms, but she raised her hand to push him away.
"You're too hot."
He reluctantly let go of her hand: "I will listen to you about everything at home. You can keep the money from selling the styles separately and don't spend it on household expenses."
Ji Wenhe propped up one leg and held his chin: "I mean to separate the family in the future. After they get married, I want the three families to be separated."
Knowing that he was reluctant to split up, I helped explain: "There are too many people living together, and it's easy to have conflicts."
"It's better to separate from the beginning than to live together and then separate after a conflict. That would cause resentment among the families."
Shen Rongshan was silent for a while, then said, "Actually, I think so in my heart. I don't like crowds, and we want to live our own lives separately."
"I swore in front of my parents' graves that I would take good care of them, let them marry and have children, and that I would never live with them again and never be separated from them."
"Now that you can figure it out, I don't have to do any ideological work on you." She patted his shoulder and continued.
"If you have a skill, you don't have to worry about not making money when you get old, and craftsmen are more popular as they get older."
"After we send them to learn a skill and separate the family, they will have the final say in the family. We can't take care of them forever."
The only ones who can truly come together are the two of them. The two twins have their own families and children, so it is impossible for them to think about them in everything.
She also had her own selfish desires. What she could do for the twins was to send them to learn a craft, build a house for them, and find them wives.
She should consider more about the future between her and Shen Rongshan, as he is the one who can accompany her to the end.
"Wen He, let's talk to them about this next year, or it won't be too late until we build a house."
The money we have should be saved to buy donkey carts, so we won’t send them to learn a craft now.
Shen Rongshan also understood what she meant and didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. Everyone has their own life and he can't take care of them for the rest of their lives.
Now that I have a wife and have divided the family business, I have to spend more time on her.
"Okay, let's talk about it after the house is built." Ji Wenhe lay on the inside, "Two thick quilts are ready today, and a thick cotton-padded jacket will be made tomorrow."
"After making the thick cotton-padded jacket, the remaining cotton can be used to make thin cotton-padded jackets and quilts. If there is a lot of cotton left, I can make another thick cotton-padded jacket."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Shen Rongshan lay down next to her, pulled his clothes over her belly, and patted her gently, "Go to sleep."
"Okay." He yawned, "You should go to bed soon too."
She has completely developed the habit of going to bed on time.
Sleep is also much better than before.
Unlike before, when it would take me a long time to fall asleep after putting my phone down and lying down, now I can fall asleep immediately with my eyes closed, and I don’t tend to dream anymore.
The next day, I woke up energetically and saw him bending over to put eggs into a basket: "How many eggs did you lay today?"
"Five, four chicken eggs and one duck egg, and it's raining outside."
"It's raining." Ji Wenhe put on his coat, "It's finally raining."
It hasn't rained for more than half a month. It's driving people crazy with the heat.
When I came to the yard, it was raining heavily and there was no coolness at all.
Shen Rongshan came out of the house and saw her standing by the shed: "Wen He, come and eat."
"it is good."
After dinner, I will go to Lan Qiuhua’s house.
"Brother Shen, are you going out later?"
"Not going out, what's wrong?"
"Then I'll go to Aunt Lan's house and come back at noon."
There is only one raincoat in the house.
"Then go ahead." Shen Rongshan held the bowl and placed it in front of him. "Go down the mountain slowly, the road is slippery."
Ji Wenhe nodded and looked at the twins. Seeing them yawning, he asked in confusion, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"We talked for a long time last night, and were woken up by thunder in the middle of the night."
I went out to the toilet and couldn't sleep when I came back.
Shen Wenshan yawned again and rubbed his eyes.
"I didn't hear anything last night. You guys can go and catch up on some sleep after dinner. Anyway, you won't be selling goods today, so take a good rest."
The two of them responded and lowered their heads to eat.
"Brother Shen, when you go to buy goods, take the eggs and sell them. Take the duck eggs with you as well. They lay eggs every day now. The weather is too hot. If we don't finish them at home, they might go bad."
Shen Rongshan put down his bowl and chopsticks: "Okay, do you want to buy anything for the family?"
Ji Wenhe thought about it and shook his head: "Not yet."
The house has almost bought all the things that need to be bought.
After dinner, she went down the mountain in her pajamas, carrying a basket, thinking that she must tell him when she got back and bring an umbrella.
