It is difficult to give up these shortcomings of being good at calculation and eager for quick success. Once there is a ladder, these people will spare no effort to climb up and fight for their lives to stand high.
Looking back, those who are used as ladders by him are easily abandoned, because in the hearts of these people, they will think that the position they stand on is the result of their own efforts, and they will not be grateful to the person who handed them the ladder.
This problem is not only the inferiority and arrogance in the character, but also the short-sightedness, narrow-mindedness and lack of broad-mindedness caused by the family of origin.
Those who are loyal and righteous are mostly dog-slaughters, and those who are heartless and meddlesome are scholars.
Once such a person turns over, he will have the aura of becoming a serf with great pride. At that time, anyone who was once higher than him will be despised by him.
Ahem... But she could only say so much, and she couldn't say it so harshly... After all, their family was from a standard poor family, and Xiao Wu was one of many students from a poor family.
If she said that a poor student was worthless, wouldn't it be a slap in Xiao Wu's face?
She can say sincere and kind words, but she can't just step on her. After all, she has this kind of consciousness, and she will not let Xiao Wu become that kind of person. Whenever she notices the signs, she will either give him a big scolding or use the rolling pin if she doesn't want to.
.
Anyway, students from poor families have a very good characteristic, that is, they are filial, so a beating will not be a problem.
Zhang Yiren listened quietly, feeling deeply moved in her heart. She originally wanted to test Bai Yunxi's views on children's marriage, but she didn't expect that she would say so much in one breath.
And every sentence makes sense.
"Yunxi really opened my eyes and impressed me." She didn't grow up as a vegetarian, and she could tell the difference between good and bad words. These words were indeed for Yishan's good and sincere persuasion.
"Show off a few words and make sister Yiren laugh."
Baiyunxi took a sip of tea and moistened her throat.
"We are not allowed to talk to each other outside of the house from now on. With Xiaowu here, we are as close as one family." Zhang Yiren glared at her pretending to be displeased, and the topic was over.
After a day of busy work, by dusk, the shops on East Street were packed up.
One room is divided into two parts with a counter in the middle. Inside is a simple kitchen where colorful meatballs can be made on site to ensure the freshness of the ingredients.
The prepared basins of iced meatballs and various fruit pastes are placed on the counter, allowing customers to make their own choices as soon as they come in.
There are two or three tables and chairs in front for guests to rest temporarily.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the opening.
Listening to Zhang's mother-in-law's narration, Bai Yunxi smiled slightly,
"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. We will open tomorrow, and there is no need to make any special preparations. When the time comes, we can just hang up some firecrackers at the door and find someone with a loud voice to shout at the door."
Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Zhang Yiren giggled with joy.
"It's a shop after all, so why are you so careless?"
"It's not rash. Sister Yiren forgot that Yishan has already sent the ice bowl to the college. On this hot day, those students took advantage of their lunch break and came here on their own without being pushed. With a bunch of helpers like them, what are we going to do?
It’s all redundant.”
The college dormitories are populated by students from the towns below, and many students living in the county study day-to-day.
If they spread it, it is free advertising.
Zhang Yiren listened and nodded,
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go and have a look with you tomorrow. I'm not afraid of making a joke. I've rented out all the shops I own. This is my first time participating in a business."
"Then let's go and see it together. I hope we can become an instant success."
Bai Yunxi chuckled lightly. She was a serious nobleman, so naturally she would not run a business to make money in public. The income from Zhuangzi's shop was enough to support her clothes.
No matter how much the income from a woman's dowry is, she holds it in her own hands as a private property. Even her own man would not ask for it. If anyone knew that her daughter-in-law was being used as a dowry, they would be ridiculed.
What's more, someone as prestigious as Dean Zhang probably didn't even ask.
In the evening, Dean Zhang came back with Xiaowu and his daughter. They exchanged pleasantries and had dinner together.
Bai Yunxi told Dean Zhang a few more words about the purpose of coming, and saw that he didn't have any objections, so she felt relieved.
As for the specifics, if the couple explained it themselves, she would leave it alone.
After eating and talking for a while, Bai Yunxi was about to get up and leave, "I have reserved a small courtyard at Nanshan Inn, not far from both sides. Let's meet at the shop tomorrow morning."
As soon as these words came out, the Zhang family were stunned, "When you come to the county, you naturally have to live at home. How can there be any reason for people to stay in an inn?"
"Yes, I asked my mother-in-law to clean up the room a long time ago. Doesn't Yunxi look down on the family?"
Seeing the same tone between the two couples, Bai Yunxi waved her hands quickly,
"Sister Yiren has misunderstood. Since I am not an outsider, how can I see outsiders? Although I am doing a small business, it will take some time. You are all busy, and I also want to take the opportunity to wander around the county by myself. How can I
Have you been nagging you all this time?"
"You're just saying this, aren't you? No matter how long you stay here, I will still have less to eat from you here?"
Zhang Yiren held her hand, her eyes showing disapproval.
"Yunxi, you are just too polite. I really hope you can stay here."
"I know that there will be chaos when there are many people, so I have simply booked an inn. It has a separate small courtyard, four rooms, and a small kitchen, which is very convenient..."
Speaking of this, Baiyunxi slapped his forehead suddenly,
"Oh, every time we go out, it's Wenyou and I. We rarely take Xiaosi out, but we actually forget about him."
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard Bai Yunxi's sudden words. Looking at her annoyed expression, they wondered what else they didn't know.
This is like forgetting people at the inn.
"Then isn't he hungry now? Ginkgo, run fast, go to the kitchen to pack some food and bring it to An Yi. Oops, this is a big deal, haha..."
Zhang Yiren came back to her senses and covered her mouth with a handkerchief. She couldn't hold it back anymore. This mother-in-law was like no one else.
"Haha...it doesn't matter. That kid is not stupid. He knows how to find food by himself. When I went out, Xiaosi said it was hard to come out. He wanted to go around and see the excitement in the county, so I went with him."
When Bai Yunxi realized what she was doing, she couldn't stop laughing herself. She looked at Xiao Wu's speechless expression and spread his hands.
"I really forgot about it. Mainly because I haven't taken him with me before. He followed me so suddenly. I'm not used to it."
Someone was left behind at the inn, and Zhang's family didn't stay. They prepared some food for them to take with them, sent the person to the gate, and watched the carriage leave.
"Yunxi's temperament is really lovable." Zhang Yiren curled her lips and spoke with a smile.
Dean Zhang pursed his lips, thinking of the ice bowl he had in the afternoon, and raised his eyebrows, "Don't you always like to do whatever you want to do for a living? Why did you change your mind?"
