As for the money and profits, they are secondary.
Shen Lao Er frowned, "Mom, what do you mean I'm giving Fourth Young Master random advice? Wouldn't it be better to find a father-in-law who can help Fourth Young Master? This is a blessing that many people can't even ask for."
"Besides, the girl is not bad either. It's obvious that the fourth brother is marrying above his station."
"Why don't you agree?"
When he said this, he didn't care about Lin Luoxia's presence at all. He just said that if it were him, he would have agreed long ago.
Lin Luoxia looked indifferent, as if she didn't care about these words at all. She didn't even look at Shen Laoer, and went out directly with Shen Baozhu in her arms.
No one in the Shen family noticed her departure except Xu Manyue.
She glanced at Lin Luoxia's leaving back, then silently retracted her gaze and looked up at Shen Lao Er who was still trying to persuade the old lady.
"Mom, if the fourth child gets married, our family will benefit from it in the future."
"Even if he becomes successful, he won't forget us brothers, nor will he forget the mother who gave birth to him and raised him. Think about it carefully. If the fourth brother relies on himself alone, it will probably be difficult for him to even get a regular job. It's stupid to give up the current path."
After hearing these words, even Boss Shen was a little moved.
The second brother was right. They, as older brothers, had taken such good care of the fourth brother in the past. If he became successful, he would definitely not forget them, his brothers.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the recruitment of workers in the machinery factory. If the fourth brother has any connections, he must take care of these brothers and nephews first.
Xiaoshan is not young anymore, and he cannot be like his father, who has devoted his whole life to farming and has not saved anything after farming for most of his life.
As the uncle, the fourth brother cannot ignore his own nephew.
"Mom, what the second brother said is right. The girl is interested in our fourth brother, so the fourth brother has the upper hand. I've seen that girl before. She's pretty and has a good temper. She's much better than the girls in the team."
"When the fourth brother comes back this time, you should try to persuade him as well. This is such a great opportunity, the fourth brother must seize it."
The old lady's face darkened. "Well, you two brothers are going to sell off the fourth child's lifelong happiness just for that little bit of profit."
"You are all married people, but you don't think about how painful it would be to spend your whole life with someone you don't like."
"Hmph, there's no room for negotiation on this matter. Don't try to get the fourth brother, or I'll be rude to you."
The eldest and second sons of Shen's families also looked unhappy. "Mom, look at what you said. What do you mean by selling the fourth son's lifelong happiness?"
"Although my eldest brother and I have some selfish motives, it's all for the good of the fourth child. If it weren't for the third child and his wife arranging a job for him last time, the fourth child might still be lying at home sleeping.
"Although he's not as lazy as before, human nature is still there. I guess even if he gets a permanent job with the help of his master, he'll just be living a life of idleness and waiting to die. That's how his life will be."
"But if he had a powerful father-in-law, it would be different. With this background alone, he would be better than most people in the city."
"If he has children in the future, they won't have to work in the fields for food, and they can't even earn enough to buy a piece of clothing like people in the city do in a whole year."
Mrs. Shen sat next to Xu Manyue and whispered complaints in her ear.
"Tell me, is Mom getting senile and confused? Why would she let go of such a good opportunity? She used to be quite smart. Could it be that she's lost her mind this time because of her last illness?"
She is the daughter of the deputy director of a machinery factory in the city. If you can get her, it's like getting a stable job and you won't have to worry about the rest of your life.
Xu Manyue pursed her lips and said, "Sister-in-law, have you ever thought about why there are so many young and promising people in the city, but they only have their eyes on Jianping?"
"Look at what you said. What else could it be? Although the fourth brother is a bit lazy, he is still quite handsome. That tall guy also looks like a handsome young man."
"You didn't see it. When the fourth child went to work, those shameless young ladies and wives always looked at our fourth child."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, that look makes even me feel ashamed for them."
What's wrong with city girls? They are still human beings.
Maybe he was attracted by the fourth brother's face and figure.
Xu Manyue shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law, you think too simply."
They are not a good match. If this marriage really happens, it will not be smooth sailing in the future.
What's more, the daughter of the deputy director of the machinery factory must have received some education, at least graduated from junior high school. How could she fall in love with a man who is inferior to her in terms of education and family background.
Even if it was love at first sight, she still felt it was unlikely.
There might be something fishy going on.
The old lady loves the fourth son so much, how could she bear to let him marry a woman he doesn't like?
As for Shen Lao Er, he probably guessed that there was something fishy going on, but a man like him probably thought that these were not a big problem, and that big problems were not as important as the benefits he would gain.
Mrs. Shen hesitated, "This...what's the problem with this?"
No matter how she looked at it, it seemed like the fourth brother was taking advantage and climbing up the social ladder, and she didn't see any problem at all.
Xu Manyue sighed, "Sister-in-law, please don't get involved in this matter. Mother knows what's going on, and the fourth child can make the decision himself. We just need to do our own thing."
Mrs. Shen touched her head. Although she didn't understand, she still listened to her third brother's wife.
She is much smarter than me.
Even someone like Lin Luoxia couldn't get any advantage from her.
She was right.
……
While eating.
Xu Manyue was in her room, eating while lying on the bed. Her doors and windows were closed tightly, not letting in a single breath of wind.
The food was brought over by the old lady, a large white flour steamed bun, a bowl of egg custard, and a bowl of egg fried rice. It smelled so good that the whole house was filled with the aroma of the food.
"Third daughter-in-law, come here and eat." The old lady personally brought the food to her mouth, holding a spoon and wanting to feed her mouthful by mouthful.
Xu Manyue quickly refused, "Mom, I'll do it myself."
The old lady glared at her and dodged her outstretched hand with the bowl in hand. "No, you just gave birth a few days ago. You should get some rest. Look at your pale face. You've lost a lot of weight and look sick."
"Don't be polite to me. I'll feed you. When you're full, you can feed the child. Then lie down on the bed and rest. I'll help you look after the child."
Xu Manyue smiled helplessly, "Okay then, thank you for your help."
The old lady waved her hand and fed a spoonful of rice into Xu Manyue's mouth.
"It doesn't matter if it's a bother or not. You've done a great service to our Shen family this time. Mother is happy to serve you and take care of your children."
