Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 480

Chapter 480: Chapter 475: Going Back to Hometown Troublesome Matter 10 [Explosive Update 04]

——————

Xie Jinghong studied very diligently. These past few days, while she was making elaborate dishes, she constantly learned by observing and asking detailed questions when she didn’t understand.

She picked up braising meat quickly.

However, when it came to making snacks, Xie Jinghong was a bit slow to respond.

Making cookies actually isn’t difficult; it just requires some effort in kneading the dough. Additionally, with the right mix of ingredients, adding some brown sugar not only colors it but also adds nutrition. If one desires fruit flavor, they can even mix in fruit juice themselves.

Considering she didn’t know the living standards or the real conditions in the county town, Yan Jinsu taught her older sister-in-law how to make cookies and meticulously guided her in business.

Nowadays, unlike in their descendants’ time, the business acumen comes naturally from early exposure. The more they saw, the more inherent it became, and the more they thought about it, the clearer it was how business was conducted.

But not now, business is for the bold! Those families who dare to take the lead in business would not divulge their trade secrets casually.

If Xie Jinghong hadn’t heard how her mother managed to make money through business, she would never have thought of the idea herself.

It was Yan Jinsu who challenged her with questions: If she really intended to stand up and not continue with adopting children, and if her husband couldn’t prevent the unfortunate divorce, with no skills or source of income, what was she planning to use to support her three sons?

Raising sons is different from raising daughters.

Daughters could be married off, which is relatively easier. But sons had to ’bring’ a wife home.

If the groom’s family does not have a house or a dowry, who would want to marry in?

Most importantly, was she really preparing for her three sons to be illiterate? Without money, they couldn’t even afford basic schooling!

Before that, she needed to provide for their basic needs!

These questions pierced Xie Jinghong’s heart one after another, making her eyes immediately well up, and she couldn’t find words to rebut the heart-stabbing questions from Yan Jinsu, but instead learned earnestly and humbly.

She did not know that after she returned to her family home, quite a few things had happened within the Fan Family. She only knew that if she couldn’t stand up for herself, she might as well resign to fate and let Xiao Xian be adopted out!

Otherwise, by blindly caring for the youngest, but letting the older two suffer, how could she bear it?!

Thinking of this, Xie Jinghong pursed her lips, stubbornly refusing to give in, and Zhou Xiuhua felt incredibly sad to see Da Niu like this.

However, the words of Yan Jinsu still sounded correct.

A woman, if she cannot have a standing in her husband’s home and protect herself and her children, will indeed be very pitiful and tragic.

Xie Jinghong never wanted to be a woman pitied by others; she wanted to stand up!

Afterward, Yan Jinsu didn’t need to spend more words to soothe her older sister-in-law’s emotional pains, as she would figure it out on her own; as the saying goes, once a single point is understood, everything is understood!

There are many things, as a wife, she wasn’t unaware of, but just reluctant to accept that she was indeed ’so incapable.’

Yan Jinsu could understand because her grandmother was such a woman.

Her mother always mentioned the many mistakes made by her grandmother and then educated her on how to handle such situations correctly—teaching her from a young age that a woman needs to first cherish herself, then her husband would cherish her, and the husband’s family would value her.

If you don’t even respect yourself, letting others bully and vex you, what grounds do you have to blame others for despising you?

Learn to love yourself first, then learn to love others.
