Volume 1: Reborn in the 80s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 69 Sister-in-law Training Course
Jiang Tian felt that if Grandma Hu opened a training course on "How to Get Along with Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law", she might be able to make a lot of money.
This old lady has really studied the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to the core.
Seeing that her daughter understood, Grandma Hu continued to give Hu Qiongfang a "sister-in-law training course" -
No matter what plans you have in mind, you must give your sister-in-law enough face in front of others, especially in front of your family.
A person's face represents his or her life, especially for a new daughter-in-law. It is already difficult for her to integrate into a new family. At this time, whoever shows kindness to her first will gain the friendship of the new daughter-in-law.
In this regard, Hu Qiongfang is still at an advantage.
Not long after her two sisters-in-law got married, she married into the Jiang family. And because she did not listen to her parents, she was not allowed to return to her parents' home for more than ten years. Her sisters-in-law did not have time to form any bad impression of this sister-in-law. In fact, because of Hu Qiongfang's experience, they could not help but sympathize and pity her.
Therefore, when Hu Qiongfang returned to her parents' home again, it was the most critical time for her to "formally establish diplomatic relations" with her two sisters-in-law.
Grandma Hu must take advantage of the fact that her two daughters-in-law still feel sorry for her daughter and let her take the initiative to show kindness to her two sisters-in-law.
At any time, the first impression is very important.
It would be much better to first let the old daughter get along well with the two daughters-in-law than to let something dirty happen on both sides and then have them as parents to mediate.
Things like feelings cannot be stopped from being consumed.
In addition to giving enough face to the sisters-in-law in public, the second "way of getting along with sisters-in-law" that Grandma Hu taught her daughter is "all the ugly things must be said upfront."
"Your man is gone, and you are the head of the family now. You must act like the head of the family."
"Only if your two sisters-in-law know that you are trustworthy in your family, they will consult you instead of Tiantian when they encounter problems in the future."
This is a bit heartbreaking.
Hu Qiongfang was scolded by her own mother so badly that she couldn't even raise her head.
She had used up all her greatest courage in her life when she separated from her brother-in-law.
The worst thing was that before she married into the Jiang family, Grandma Hu made a wrong judgment and mistakenly thought that her daughter would marry into the family of her choice in the future. With the future just around the corner, she thought she could teach her daughter step by step how to be a good daughter-in-law, a good wife, and a good sister-in-law who is praised by everyone.
But she didn't expect that her daughter would marry into a place that she couldn't reach.
The separation of mother and daughter for more than ten years also left her with no chance to teach her daughter these principles of life.
Grandma Hu was deeply afraid that after she was gone, her daughter would become estranged from her brother and sister-in-law from her natal family.
By then, she will have no one to rely on in the Jiang family, and she will not be able to rely on her parents' side either. It would be fine if the two children are filial, but if they are not, then Hu Qiongfang will really be helpless.
The old lady didn't leave Jiang Tian and her brother aside. She was thinking, it doesn't matter if you release one sheep or a flock of sheep. As for her daughter, who doesn't even know how to live, how can she expect her to teach Jiang Tian? It would be better for her to take care of her herself.
Jiang Tian sincerely felt that Wang Chunmei had a good hand but played it badly.
If she could be like Grandma Hu, treating both equally, allowing her younger son Jiang Lesheng to go to university and pursue a career in politics, and not mistreating her older son's family, even if she is not good at studying, her younger brother Jiang Cheng is a good student.
By then, when the uncle and nephew have become successful, the eldest and second oldest families will also be able to make a name for themselves.
Anyway, Jiang Tian thought that if this matter were to be handled by Grandma Hu, the old lady would definitely use the whole family's strength to support her youngest son and eldest grandson's education, and at the same time balance the interests of the eldest and second sons' families.
For a family, just like a country or a court, the most important thing is not which one is better, but the pursuit of "stability" and a balance.
If Jiang Lesheng and Jiang Cheng, two talented students, were in the hands of Grandma Hu, I believe they would be able to exert greater power than they are now, right?
Whatever you think comes true. Jiang Tian was muttering to herself when Grandma Hu changed the topic to Jiang Cheng.
Grandma Hu grabbed her daughter and said, "Don't just focus on making money. The most important thing now is to raise the two children well, especially Jiang Cheng!"
"I think this kid is someone who can concentrate on studying. Cheer up. I heard that you transferred him to the township central primary school? That's great, but if Jiang Cheng's grades can rank among the top ten in the township, it would be a pity to let him go to the town middle school with such grades."
"Then let your second brother think of a way to see if he can get in touch with the county middle school. If the county middle school can recruit Jiang Cheng, then let the child study there."
"I heard that the county middle school also has dormitories and can live on campus. Don't be reluctant to let him suffer. Boys will not have a great future if they don't suffer a little."
Grandma Hu's idea was to build Jiang Cheng's room in the backyard while the house on the provincial road was not yet built. The catering business would be very noisy day and night, so she didn't want to disturb her grandson from doing his homework.
After talking about her grandson, Grandma Hu pulled Jiang Tian over again.
The kind grandmother turned into a wolf grandmother and said to her granddaughter with a fierce face: "You don't want to go to school because you are not good at algebra ? You look smart, why are you so stubborn about studying?"
"It's not like Algebra is the only course in junior high school!"
"You are not good at algebra. You should learn the rest of the subjects well. Isn't the high school entrance examination based on the total score? If the total score is enough, but you fail algebra, will you not be allowed to go to high school?"
Sure, the old lady is actually a "planner"? Jiang Tian almost knelt down at her grandma's brain circuit.
Jiang Cheng had been listening nearby, and now he also spoke up to echo Grandma Hu -
"Sister, I think grandma is right. No matter whether it is the middle school entrance examination or the college entrance examination, unless you are taking a special major, the total score will be considered."
"It's okay if you're not good at science. When you get to high school, you'll be divided into arts and science. You can choose arts. As long as you have good grades in arts, who says you can't get into college?"
Hu Qiongfang was cheered up now: "Chengcheng, are you telling the truth? Can your sister really get into university?"
When Grandma Hu heard that her mother had to ask her son about such an important matter, she became so angry that she covered her chest.
What a sin! Huang Guizhi had been smart for most of her life, how could she give birth to such a fool?
Taking a deep breath, Huang Guizhi could no longer suppress her temper and roared at her daughter who had just returned:
"How can you be a mother? You don't care about your son's studies, and you don't even know whether your daughter can get into high school?"
"I, ouch~ I'm so angry! Why did I give birth to such a fool like you?"
"Old man, come here! I have to teach your daughter a lesson today."
