Bao Suhua had hit the nail on the head.
Over the years of doing business, she had interacted with all kinds of people, but most of them were men. As for women, she had less contact with them. Most of them were her employees and friends from all over the country.
However, she was more inclined to find a local as a wife. They had the same accent, the same words, and similar living habits, so there wouldn't be too much of a barrier.
But then she thought of another problem and muttered to herself, "This can't be inherited, right?"
Everyone knew that the Qu family's Old Madam was mentally ill. Even those who had never tried it knew that there was a high probability of it being inherited.
Bao Suhua said, "As far as I know, the Qu family's Old Madam used to be a high school student. Think about it, we were able to go to high school. She came from an ordinary family and was also a farmer. She was able to go to high school with her own strength. She was a ruthless person.
Look at the Qu family's old man. He's so dumb. If the Old Madam wasn't smart, Qufu wouldn't be so smart. "
Although she said so much in one breath, she didn't say a single word that she was willing to take responsibility.
Zhao Di said as she walked, "According to what you said, the Old Madam wasn't born with it?"
"No," Bao Suhua said with certainty, "Her family wasn't far from mine. At that time, there were only two people in the commune who went to the county. One was me, and the other was her. When I went to work in the oil factory, the Old Madam was still in high school.
I don't know what the system was like, but I know that she didn't go to university. Later on, she was stimulated and went crazy.
One year, I saw her naked by the Ying River. It was so cold that it almost formed icicles. Her big brother chased after her, and her sister-in-law scolded her. It was so lively.
She was a joke everywhere. "
"Oh, I've never heard of that." Zhao Di stopped at a pavilion and found some fish feed by the side. She sprinkled it into the lotus pond. First, two or three goldfish came up from the bottom of the pond, and soon, they formed a school. She smiled and said, "Look, they're so fat. A few days ago, I even told Old Zhang here to bring in fresh water. It's too lifeless and won't last long."
Bao Suhua said, "These people only care about money. They are black-hearted in developing and fooling people."
"Hey, my words have gone in one ear and out the other. In a few days, I'll have to find trouble with them." Zhao Di saw that Bao Suhua didn't move, so she said, "Go on."
"Later, when the two elder brothers got married and the parents were old, they couldn't keep her as a burden. So, she was taken away by the old man of the Qu Family. Afraid that the old man of the Qu Family would send her back, he would send noodles and oil during the festival," Bao Suhua said vividly, as if she had seen it with her own eyes. "After the eldest son of the Qu Family was born, hei, in any case, they weren't afraid that the Qu Family would push the blame on them again, so they simply cut off contact."
"Oh, his name is Qu Yang." Zhao Di smiled and said, "He's good friends with He Zhou."
"People say that the boy is stupid." Bao Suhua was very proud that she could understand what Zhao Di was thinking. She said with a smile, "Actually, I thought so at first. It wasn't during the New Year, right? A relative came to my house and it was troublesome to cook at home, so we went to a restaurant. Guess who opened the restaurant?"
Seeing that Zhao Di wasn't curious at all, he continued, "It's that brat. That brat used to come to our house to look for He Zhou, and I treated him pretty well, right? The moment he saw me, he was so friendly, and after dinner, he insisted on not collecting money.
I saw that it wasn't easy for him, so I threw the money and ran away.
After I came back, I kept thinking about it. Who said that the boy was stupid? He's thoughtful and understanding, but he can't be considered stupid. He can only be said to be honest. "
Zhao Di smiled and said, "Now I also understand why He Zhou is so close to him. He's simple-minded and pure. He's just as stupid as our baby."
"He Zhou isn't naive," Bao Suhua said. "He's kind-hearted. It's true that you're his mother, but I've been taking care of him longer than you have. You were busy with work back then. Sometimes, I couldn't see you for days and nights. Sometimes, you'd be gone for weeks. I was always the one following behind him.
Sometimes, I feel sorry for this child. He's not bad at all. He's just like you. "
"He's not just like me," Zhao Di said with a smile. "He's just like his father. I've never told outsiders about our family matters. The child's father is the straightforward one."
"No wonder." Bao Suhua's heart was pounding. Zhao Di had never mentioned He Zhou's father in front of her in more than 20 years since she entered the He family.
Zhao Di shook her head and said, "I drank a little. Sigh, I'm talking nonsense again."
"I'll go back and make you a cup of tea." Bao Suhua hurriedly went back to the room to pour tea.
"No need," Zhao Di stopped her and said with a smile, "I'm just thinking that this child doesn't have his father's courage and brains. If he has even half of his father's courage and brains, I'll feel better."
"Oh, you can't say that. How old are you?" Bao Suhua said with a smile, "It's only right for the later generations to enjoy the shade. If we're not capable and the child is good or bad, let him be."
"Sometimes, I'm quite envious of your harmonious and beautiful family." Zhao Di said with a smile, "A person's life is gone in a flash. Now that I think about it, it's hard to tell if it's a loss or a gain."
Bao Suhua smiled and didn't know how to respond to her.
Could it be that your man had been dead for so many years? Even if you didn't have money, you could still find someone else?
She couldn't say it!
There was plenty of rain this year. It rained day after day, and there were very few sunny days. Before the grapes in the vineyard were ripe, they had already fallen off, burst, or got mildew. The grapes were badly damaged.
Sang Yongbo cursed as he cut the damaged grapes. The two mu of land that he had rented with great difficulty in the suburbs had been ruined.
"You want to farm and go home?" Li Hui stood at the side and teased, "What's the point of spending so much effort in Pujiang?"
Sang Yongbo pointed at Pan Guangcai and said, "Ask him what's the point of buying that piece of land in Hainan to breed fish and plant trees."
Pan Guangcai said, "Why are you bringing me into this again? I'm just trying to be happy. What else could I be after?"
"What's the point of quarreling like this every day?" Zhao Di came out with a plate of sliced watermelon. She gave each of them a piece and said, "Did you listen to what I said just now?"
Pan Guangcai said, "I think you're worrying for nothing. How old are you? Do you still need to worry about dating?"
Li Hui, Sang Yongbo, and the others looked at each other and smiled without saying anything.
Pan Guangcai wanted He Zhou to be his son-in-law. This was not something that had happened in a day or two. Everyone knew about it, but no one was willing to say it out loud.
