Chapter 100: 100. Focus on economy with one hand and education with the other (Recommended 4500+)

With good intentions, he ended up irritating someone; Lianshan was feeling frustrated.

But how can a big man like him argue with a woman?

Especially when this woman is his wife, who is always thinking about him, willing to share hardships, and not wanting to enjoy blessings alone.

No matter if it makes sense or not, no matter if it’s a matter of pride, he should quickly coax her: "Alright, alright, wife, you find it now, and I’ll change into it right away. If it suits me, I’ll wear it from today until the old winter. Please, smile and don’t be upset!"

"Hmph!" Shuzhen snorted coldly, opened the cabinet, and handed him the knitted wool pants: "I’m telling you, this is the first and last time. If you do this again next time, I won’t argue with you. I’ll clean up the west room and let you stay there to clear your head. You can come back when you’ve thought it through!"

"No, no, no, I promise there won’t be a next time, never again. Wife, don’t worry, you’ll handle my clothes from now on. Whatever you think looks good on me, that’s what I’ll wear. However you want to dress me, that’s how I’ll dress, isn’t that enough?" He endured through the first three dangerous months of his wife’s pregnancy, and a few days ago, he finally caught up with the long-delayed wedding night candle feast. freёnovelkiss-com

Right now, he is deeply in love with her, and the thought of dividing rooms is a punishment more severe than two sticks.

Of course, Lianshan was against it in his heart.

Afraid that his wife might follow through, Lianshan quickly expressed his willingness to obey her directives. He was scared that if he hesitated even a little, he would be exiled to the cold west room tonight, left to sleep alone on an icy bed.

"If you don’t want to sleep in the west room alone, remember this next time. Special treatment like this, you can’t even think about it in the future. Instead of thinking about how to burden yourself to benefit me and the little brat, wouldn’t it be better if we worked together, planned together, and made our lives better for everyone to enjoy? Don’t you think so?

If not, you’ll end up suffering and sacrificing for nothing as I and the brat get used to it. Over time, the initial gratitude will wear off, leaving only habits as second nature, and your sacrifices will have been in vain!" The greatest unplanned outcome since my rebirth was not being able to get rid of the little troublemaker in my belly. Instead, it continued to grow and thrive there.

Of course, with Lianshan’s persistent persuasion, Shuzhen had long abandoned her initial extreme thoughts. She realized with the rascal growing astray, it was because they had never put down a firm hand early on.

A small tree not pruned does not grow straight; a person not corrected becomes unruly.

Competing to spoil each other, they coddled a child with weak roots into someone superficial and vain; it’s truly unsurprising.

To avoid repeating the same mistakes and seeing the child raised for over a decade being led astray by favorable conditions,

Shuzhen believed that handling both the economy and education was an absolute necessity.

For instance, prevention was very necessary.

First, she straightened her attitude and gave her soft-hearted, kind-hearted husband a heads-up. Then she started to educate the little brat about gratitude, principles, honesty, and integrity right from the womb, engraving these values into his bones.

She didn’t believe that with such upbringing and strict education from a young age, he could still grow astray!

"Being good to your own wife and kids, isn’t that only natural? How is it a grievance? But you, Shuzhen, you must stop calling the child a little brat, alright? The child couldn’t decide whose womb to be born from. But as parents, we must first straighten out our attitudes.

A loving father and filial son; raising a good child requires first being good parents.

Calling the child a brat is where you, as the mother, are wrong." Lianshan had always had opinions about Shuzhen occasionally calling their kid a brat, and today he took the chance to share his thoughts.

This...

This reasoning was so compelling that Shuzhen found herself speechless.

In her previous life or whatever, she planned to take that secret to her grave and never intended to share it with anyone.

Unable to speak it, she couldn’t provide evidence of the brat’s ingratitude.

Hence, she couldn’t easily shake off this undeserved blame.

Reluctantly, she nodded, promised to be mindful in the future, marking the end of the minor wool pants-induced storm between them.

The whole drama lasted, well, no more than half an hour.

They argued swiftly and reconciled just as fast.

Of course, Lianshan wouldn’t admit that there was a quarrel between him and his wife.

At most, it was a minor disagreement driven by mutual care, with both wanting to be better for the other.

Though the process wasn’t pretty, the outcome was genuinely positive and effective.

From that point on, communication between the couple noticeably increased.

Shuzhen stopped ’picking’ grains, stopped going to the mountains to ’gather’ hazelnuts, pine nuts, and naturally didn’t encounter old hunters reluctant to eat the wild chickens or rabbits they caught.

Of course, with meat coupons in hand, she could occasionally buy meat from the supply and marketing cooperative to improve meals.

The household, having expanded to nine mother hens, could gather three to five eggs a day, ensuring no major drop in the standard of living.

This meant that Lianshan no longer needed to worry about his wife while working in the fields.

Seeing his wife’s words followed by actions, without needing a reminder, he deeply appreciated the value of mutual discussion and timely communication.

Understanding its benefits, it naturally led him to engage in more communication with Shuzhen. Wanting to change his habit of keeping things bottled up, with him making the first move towards openness, of course, would encourage more openness.

With such a positive cycle, the couple’s interactions started becoming more harmonious and natural.

When the autumn harvest finally ended, protected by the careful watch of her husband, they visited Saozi and Lian Yue, only to find the two engrossed in prenatal education for their child, which utterly astonished Lian Yue.

It wasn’t surprising that her brother and sister-in-law, their feelings so intimate after not meeting for a short while, appeared inseparable and oily-sweet.

Her big brother, open-minded and righteous, having decided to marry Shuzhen as Saozi, accepted the child in her belly along with her, fully embracing the role of father.

Participating in prenatal education with Saozi wasn’t unbelievable, though it surprised Lian Yue.

What was truly unbelievable was the content of their prenatal education!

The twenty-four filial stories, they were critiqued as pure old-world thoughts!

Hurriedly closing the door, Lian Yue was just glad her big brother had chosen the most isolated plot in the village for ease in chopping wood and hunting.

Genuinely secluded, with no neighbors close by.

If their prenatal content was overheard word for word by anyone, could they still be well off?
