Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 164: Children and grandchildren have their own blessings
Jiang Xiuxiu almost fainted when she heard her mother asked her to go to her mother-in-law's rice dumpling workshop to steal the stuffing recipe.
No, he almost beat her mother unconscious.
Is this old lady crazy?
If she really did something like this, could she continue to stay in this family?
What on earth does her mother want to do?
The more Jiang's mother thought about it, the happier she became. She had already thought about how her family would become rich after she got the Hu family's secret recipe for rice dumplings.
Isn't it just making zongzi? Who can't do it? When the time comes, their family will open a zongzi workshop on the provincial road and directly use the Hu family's filling recipe.
However, you can put less meat and spices in it, so that the rice dumplings can be sold cheaper than the Hu family’s.
When she squeezes out Grandma Hu's zongzi workshop, then their zongzi workshop will be the only one in the provincial road area, and the person who can't count the money every day will become her, hehe~
Jiang's mother thought that if she asked her daughter to steal the recipe, it would be a sure thing.
How dare her own daughter not listen to her as a mother?
Unexpectedly, although Jiang Xiuxiu was cowardly, she dared not agree to a single word when it came to matters of principle.
Not only that, she also ran to Grandma Hu to "surrender" herself.
Jiang Xiuxiu is indeed stubborn, but she has one advantage: once she has identified who is a good person and who treats her well, no matter what that person does, in her eyes, it is as if they are covered with a thick "good person filter."
Anyway, in her eyes now, her own mother is a vicious villain. She ran to her daughter's house and asked her daughter to steal the mother-in-law's recipe for making money. It was obvious that she didn't want her daughter to have an easy life.
Jiang Xiuxiu's personality is indeed a bit dull, but she is not stupid at all. If she really listened to her mother and stole Grandma Hu's recipe for making zongzi, given Grandma Hu's personality, she would definitely make Hu Jianguo divorce her!
She and Hu Jianguo had a good relationship and two children. They were living a good life, but she destroyed her own home just to steal a recipe?
Jiang Xiuxiu couldn't bear to leave Hu Jianguo, and she was even more reluctant to let her two children suffer with their stepmother.
Besides, her mother doesn't care about her life or death, so why should she keep it a secret for her?
Jiang Xiuxiu raised her sleeves, wiped her tears, and said to Grandma Hu, "for the greater good, I will sacrifice my own family":
"Mom! Don't worry. I, Jiang Xiuxiu, married into your Hu family. I am a member of the Hu family. Even after I die, I will be buried in our ancestral tomb, together with Jianguo!"
"Anyway, I would never do anything to let down our Hu family, even if I am beaten to death."
"Please drive my mother and my brother's wife away and let them go back to the village to farm."
"If we let them stay in our store, my mother might ask my sister-in-law to steal from us if she sees that I don't help her. If that happens, the relationship between our two families will be over."
This is the main reason why Jiang Xiuxiu decided to "report" her biological mother.
She admitted that she was now more willing to protect her husband's family than her own family who were so careless towards her.
But she never thought of abandoning her parents and brother.
As long as Jiang's mother doesn't commit suicide and doesn't do anything too extreme, the relationship between the two families will still exist. Given the kindness of the father-in-law and mother-in-law, won't the Hu family help the Jiang family if they become rich?
Let’s not talk about people far away, let’s just talk about He Chunling’s family. Their family and the Hu family are not related at all. He Chunling is just Jiang Tian’s classmate. When their family encountered difficulties, both Grandma Hu and Hu Qiongfang helped them without asking for anything in return.
Jiang Xiuxiu didn't want her mother to destroy the relationship between the two families because she had confidence in the character of her in-laws and her husband.
She believed that as long as her family members did not do anything stupid, the Hu family would become prosperous and would sooner or later support her family members.
Grandma Hu was quite satisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law's performance. She would not hide the problems she didn't know how to solve, but would take the initiative to seek help from people she trusted. Jiang Xiuxiu could do this, which was worthy of her careful teaching over the years.
However, Grandma Hu was not so polite to Jiang's mother, her relative who had ulterior motives.
Jiang Xiuxiu was terrified, thinking that her mother-in-law would fall out with her mother and directly kick her mother and her brother out.
Unexpectedly, Grandma Hu asked her not to break up with Jiang's mother first.
"Don't say anything when you go back. No matter what your mother says , just agree to it first, and leave the rest to me."
After hearing her mother-in-law's words, Jiang Xiuxiu immediately felt as if she had taken a reassurance pill bestowed by the Buddha, and she went back happily.
Two days later, her brother Jiang Zhiguo was taken away by her brother-in-law Hu Jianguo.
Hu Jianguo is now driving to deliver goods to Grandma Hu’s rice dumpling workshop!
Although Jiang's mother was somewhat unhappy that her eldest daughter did not steal the recipe directly, she thought about how she could get her son into the workshop and then steal the recipe without anyone noticing. Without evidence, who could prove that they stole it?
Before Jiang's mother could be happy for a few days, the damn kid Jiang Zhiguo actually made a fuss about going for a sports car ride with someone.
Jiang Zhiguo has always had a "bohemian and freedom-loving" heart. Due to his personality, after the two families became in-laws , although Uncle Hu was his biological brother-in-law, Jiang Zhiguo obviously preferred to play with Uncle Hu.
It’s because Hu Jianjun knows more people than his brother and knows more strange and interesting things.
What's fun about working as a helper in Hu's Restaurant?
Jiang Zhiguo prefers to deliver goods with Hu Jianjun.
Driving a tractor back and forth on the busy provincial roads, you can hear all kinds of strange things every day.
After Grandma Hu’s rice dumplings became popular, not only were many local shops willing to buy from her, but even some passing truck drivers began to buy from Hu Jianjun.
Truck drivers of this day and age earn more than just the hard-earned money from transporting goods. Many smart truck drivers will also take some goods for themselves while transporting goods for their bosses. As long as they don't go too far and only carry 100 or 200 kilograms of stuff, the boss following the truck will turn a blind eye.
Grandma Hu’s big rice dumplings are not only delicious and inexpensive, but they are also vacuum-packed. In this era when most families do not have refrigerators, vacuum-packed items have a longer shelf life and are more suitable for long-distance transportation.
Jiang Zhiguo followed Hu Jianjun and came into contact with many cart drivers. Listening to their chats about all sorts of things, his heart had already flown away. How could a small rice dumpling workshop possibly hold him back?
Jiang's mother never thought that she would not only fail to steal the Hu family's secret recipe for rice dumplings, but also lose a son to the Hu family!
This is her only son o(╥﹏╥)o
She was wrong. The Hu family was not a bunch of fools at all, but a family of actors!
Her son ran off with a cart driver, but Grandma Hu pretended to comfort her, saying things like "children and grandchildren have their own blessings" and "young people should go out and explore the world", praising her family's ambitions... Bah! When your two sons were young, why didn't you let them go out and explore the world?
