General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 623: Raising Children to Provide for Old Age (1)

"Anyway, you can do whatever you want. I didn't open this embroidery workshop for you to suck my blood. If you want my wages, let your daughters learn the craft well. When they earn money and have enough to honor you, you will be proud of it. When you go out and tell others about it, you can proudly say that it is the money earned by your daughters that is honoring you." Ji Xiaomu said lightly.

"I just don't understand why you people think sons are better than daughters. You serve them all day long, but they never show any respect to you. After they get married, they listen to their wives. Have you ever seen a son being filial to his parents? It's always the married daughters who come home to visit and think about showing respect to their parents." Aunt Ji looked at them with contempt.

"Our sons will be there to see us off to the grave! We are counting on them to take care of us in our old age!" a woman disagreed and replied.

"To take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life? Who takes care of the people in the village when they are lying in bed unable to move?" said Aunt Ji indifferently.

"Of course it's my daughter-in-law!" the woman immediately said proudly.

"You also say it's the daughter-in-law, but where was your good son at that time? Wasn't it the daughters of other families who served him? In the end, he still relied on the daughter-in-law..." Ji Xiaomu sneered. "Do you know the Wang family in your village? He has four daughters and one son. When he was old and sick, his son and daughter-in-law drove him out of the house. Who sent him to the end, fed him, and let him enjoy his old age?"

"...they are his four daughters." The old woman was stunned and replied. "But this is also an exception..."

"There are so many exceptions like this. You like to listen to other people's family affairs every day and discuss how other families are doing. Have you ever heard of someone's son being filial to his parents? Don't tell me that they all do so in private at home..." asked Ji Xiaomu.

Everyone looked at each other, wanting to refute but after opening their mouths for a long time, they couldn't say a word.

"How outstanding is your son? I want to hear it." Ji Xiaowu looked at them and chuckled. "You expect your son to serve you like you do, and just give you food to eat when you are old?"

"You usually save all the good food and drinks for your son. Have they ever bought you a piece of clothing? Don't say your son has no money... He must have asked you for money a lot, but what did he do with the money? A handkerchief is at most five cents, right? Did he buy it?" Ji Xiaomu asked again. "You can tell me why he bought that thing, it's a waste of money..."

"Then play..." A woman was about to speak, but Ji Xiaomu's words made her shut up immediately.

"I'm just giving an example. I don't necessarily want a handkerchief. What I'm asking is whether they have the heart..." Ji Xiaomu continued.

Mother Ji glanced at the woman who came with her son in the crowd, and smiled slightly when she saw the son's disapproving expression and the woman's thoughtful look.

"No matter what you think or do, I have no right to interfere and I won't interfere..." Ji Xiaomu didn't finish the rest of the words, but everyone knew what Ji Xiaomu meant.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll get busy." said Ji Xiaomu.

"It's okay, it's okay. The boss can go back to his work." The women immediately said to Ji Xiaou.

After Ji Xiaomu brought Long Shiyu and Duan Yue back to the embroidery workshop, Long Shiyu looked at Ji Xiaomu and couldn't help but said, "Sister-in-law, I really admire you!"

"What do you admire about me?" Mother Ji was stunned.

"Just a few words will make these difficult people dare not even think about it anymore." Long Shiyu said with a smile.
