After Shi Youliang and his wife left the Shi family home, they had been thinking about this matter.

Liu Sanying rubbed his hands and said, “Old man, let’s call our son and ask him?”

After all, what the two of them wanted to do was for the sake of the young.

Not only would it cost money to build a workshop, but it would also be tiring. At that time, the entire family would be uncomfortable.

Shi Youliang thought for a moment and said, “We still have some savings. We make rice cakes purely by hand, so we don’t need to spend much money on machinery. The main place to spend money is to build a house.”

Liu Sanying suddenly thought of something and her eyes lit up. She said, “Old man, let’s treat the old house as a factory. The old house isn’t broken at all and doesn’t leak. As long as it’s repaired, it should be fine. This way, it won’t cost much.”

However, Shi Youliang was not as optimistic as Liu Sanying. He said, “Although the old house doesn’t leak, it’s made of mud and tiles. It has not been inhabited for a long time. Once there’s wind and rain, it might collapse at any time. How dangerous is that?”

No matter how good a house was, once it was unoccupied, it would easily become dilapidated.

Shi Youliang continued, “Let’s build a simple and safe reinforced concrete room.”

Liu Sanying said hesitantly, “But building such a house will cost at least 20,000 dollars.”

It was mainly the cost of materials and labor.

“Old woman, you’re too short-sighted. Why did we build a workshop? It’s so that we can make glutinous rice cakes and sell them online. What if our glutinous rice cakes are easy to sell? That might be a way for our entire family to make money. But you are blocking this path just to save some money.”

Shi Youliang continued, “Little Gu is a girl from a big city. Her family is rich and has eaten all kinds of good things. However, she praised our rice cakes for being delicious. I think there must be many people like Little Gu across the country who would like to eat our rice cakes. However, we still have to tell our son about building a workshop.”

If his son was unwilling, then they would forget it.

When Liu Sanying heard this, he nodded and said, “Alright. They just got off work. I’ll call them and tell them about this.”

With that, Liu Sanying called his son. As soon as the call went through, the couple planned to tell Shi Guangming about the workshop.

Shi Guangming thought for a moment and said, “Dad, Mom, I think it’s fine. If you do your job well, there will be business. Gu Qingming also said that gold will always shine. Although building a workshop costs some money, we can earn back a lot of money. If we can’t, at most, my wife and I will work for a few more years.”

Shi Guangming’s wife, Pan Chunmei, also agreed with her husband. She said, “Dad, Mom, if you want to build it, then build it. Guangming and I will fork out the money. The two of you can keep your money for yourselves first.”

Liu Sanying immediately shook her head and said, “Your father and I will pay.”

Chun Mei grinned and said, “Mom, you and Dad can keep your money for your retirement. You’ll only have confidence in the future if you have money in your hands. Besides, once this workshop is built, when there’s business in the future, this business will definitely be left to Guangming and me. So, it’s better for Guangming and me to fork out this money.”

When Liu Sanying heard this, she said happily, “It doesn’t matter who pays this money. Anyway, everything we do will be left to you.”

Regardless of whether this daughter-in-law was sincere or just being polite, she was sensible and kind, unlike other daughters-in-law who only knew how to squeeze out old things.

After Liu Sanying hung up the phone, she immediately decided, “Old man, this workshop will be built!”

…

Shi Youliang and Liu Sanying had built a house alone to sell glutinous rice cakes online, which made the village talk about it.

Some people mocked him in disdain, while others did not think highly of him. They thought that he was rich and had nowhere to spend his money.

Their family was not like Gu Qingming, who casually spent a few million.

The savings of these villagers was hard-earned money.

The houses now were not as easy to build as those from before which only needed a few thousand to build a sturdy and bright house.

Any house now would cost tens of thousands of dollars.

If they built this small workshop, it would be fine if they could earn money. If they could not earn money, they would lose all his money.

Someone persuaded Shi Youliang, saying, “Although the internet is popular among young people now, glutinous rice cakes are not very popular among young people. If no one buys them, it will be a huge loss. It’s tens of thousands of dollars. Wouldn’t it be good to put this bit of money in the bank to earn some interest?”

Actually, it was common for rural people to put money in the bank.

They did not know how to do business and invest, so they could only save the money in the bank.

Someone asked Liu Sanying, “How much will it cost to build this workshop? Who will pay for it? Will you or the young people pay for it?”

Liu Sanying smiled and said, “We wanted to fork out this sum of money, but my daughter-in-law said that we should keep our money for retirement. They will fork out the money!”

The expression of the person who asked the question changed.

She said, “Your daughter-in-law is really good. She doesn’t spend your money. My daughter-in-law is different. We don’t see a single cent of the money she earns. We use whatever she buys. It’s always us who pay for it.”

However, Liu Sanying smiled and said, “Young people’s money can be saved for their careers, houses, cars, and a few children. Old people should help if you can.”

“Hmph, they’re probably staying with her maternal family. Every year, during the holidays, they’ll give her parents a few hundred dollars. They’ll also give her nephews money for their birthdays,” the village woman said unhappily. “Hmph, she’s already married over, but she still thinks about her maternal family. She’s a traitor!”

The corners of Liu Sanying’s mouth twitched as she said, “Alright, don’t make it sound too unpleasant. She married into your family, but she did not sell herself. The child’s parents worked hard to raise her for more than twenty years. When she got married, they didn’t ask for too many betrothal gifts from your family.

“After she got married into the family, she gave birth to children for your family. She had a son and a daughter. Once the children were weaned, she went out to earn money. All year round, she only gave her parents a few hundred dollars for the new year. Didn’t she also give you money for the new year? You also have a daughter. Don’t tell me you also want your daughter to disregard the two of you after she gets married and not give you a single cent? Do you feel good?”

Many mothers-in-law had double standards.

They hoped that after their daughters got married, their husbands and in-laws would dote on them.

However, when facing their daughters-in-law, they wished that their daughters-in-law had three heads and six arms. They wanted them to take care of the children, do the housework, serve the family and earn money. Otherwise, they would be eating for free.
