"Weiguo, are you really not going out to do business? Many people in our village have gone to the city to do small business. I heard that they have made a lot of money, which is more than the salary of working in a factory..." Li Danyang said indirectly.
She was getting a little anxious at this point. She didn't know why Zhou Weiguo never had any intention of going out to do business. It was obvious that at this time in his previous life, he had already taken a leave of absence from his factory job and started his small business of reselling clothes.
But in this life, Zhou Weiguo worked as a worker honestly and never thought about taking a leave of absence. He even rebuked Li Danyang when he heard her trying to persuade him:
"What kind of business? I think you are crazy. Why don't you work as a good worker and go out to speculate and become a street vendor that is looked down upon by others?"
"No, there is no such thing as speculation now. Hasn't the country gradually relaxed restrictions on doing business? Many people in the city have started selling vegetables, clothes, and food, and no one cares. Besides, the competition is not that fierce now if you do business. After two years, when everyone realizes what is happening, the competition will be fierce, and business will not be so easy to do..." Li Danyang refused to give up and kept talking in an endless stream, trying to convince Zhou Weiguo.
However, Zhou Weiguo had no intention of listening to her words. He just thought that Li Danyang might be disgusted with him because he didn't make as much as others, so she encouraged him to do business. Li Danyang might look down on him, so his self-esteem was hurt and he became angry:
"You always ask me to go out and do business. Are you jealous of other people's business and make more money? Do you dislike my low salary? If you envy others for making more money, then go and do it yourself. I'm not stopping you! Do you regret marrying me? It's a pity that it's too late for you to regret it now. Marry a chicken and you follow the chicken, marry a dog and you follow the dog. If you marry me, don't think about other people's families. Anyway, my family is like this..."
After Zhou Weiguo got furious, Li Danyang didn't dare to incite him anymore and had to stop. However, she was extremely anxious. Unfortunately, she was so anxious that she was at a loss as to what to do.
In her previous life, it was only after Zhou Jianhong, Zhou Jianying and others grew up and the Zhou family became the richest in the province and Zhou Weiguo was interviewed by a TV station that she learned about the year and business in which their family earned their first pot of gold, and then became unstoppable and gradually expanded their business.
But Li Danyang didn't know that in fact, it was Gu Shichu who started the business in her previous life. She initially sold the vegetables she grew herself, and then saw that others were doing well in business selling other things, so she became interested. She made up her mind and went south by herself to transport a batch of clothes and brought them back to sell, making a fortune.
After that, he invested all the money he earned, sold a larger batch of clothes and made a lot of money again. After doing this several times, Zhou Weiguo saw the huge profits of doing business, so he took a leave of absence from his job and started selling clothes with Gu Shichu.
However, after his business grew bigger, Zhou Weiguo abandoned his business and let Gu Shichu return to her family and become a housewife.
Li Danyang was not aware of these inside stories and thought that Zhou Weiguo had started the Zhou family's business. Unfortunately, she was wrong. Zhou Weiguo did not have the courage to do so. She wanted to rely on Zhou Weiguo to make a fortune, but it seemed that she was destined to be disappointed.
Not only was the Zhou family's business not going anywhere, but even the four stepchildren, who she thought were destined to have a bright future, did not seem to have any signs of being "promising" at all. This was because Zhou Jianhong did not like to study and often skipped classes, did not do his homework, and broke discipline. Naturally, his grades were very poor. He also set a bad example and caused his three younger brothers and sisters to also stop liking to study. The brothers and sisters skipped classes together to play, their studies were a mess, and they were disobedient. They were a troublesome bad student.
Li Danyang had never expected them to be like this. She thought they would be successful if they studied hard since childhood. Unfortunately, what she saw in her life was completely different. Their grades in elementary school were terrible. How good would their grades in junior high school and high school be? They would definitely not be able to get into college...
But if he can’t get into college, can Zhou Jianhong still be the richest man? Can Zhou Jianying still be a medical expert? Can Zhou Jianzhan still be a scientist? Can Zhou Jianfang still be a big star
After Li Danyang realized that the four siblings had "grown up wrong", it was like a bolt from the blue. It almost caused her to have a mental breakdown and made her doubt her memory again.
But she had no room for regret and could only grit her teeth and urge her stepchildren to work hard and keep an eye on their studies. Unfortunately, she had treated her stepchildren in a completely ingratiating manner before, which fostered their temper. So when she disciplined them a little, they would strongly backfire, making them even more rebellious, skipping school more and more, and making things worse.
To cultivate a child into a successful person, both family education and school education are indispensable, and the two complement each other. However, the family education in the Zhou family is extremely bad. Zhou's mother dotes on her four children. Li Danyang did not dare to discipline them before, and now he cannot discipline them even if he wants to. Zhou Weiguo can only go home for a few days a month and has no time and energy to educate his children. Therefore, Zhou Jianhong and others almost grew up according to their own temperament.
Without family members to discipline and restrain them, and without the ability to exercise self-discipline, they indulge themselves and forget about studying.
Truancy is accompanied by disobedience to teachers and elders, so school education is of no use.
Under such circumstances, it would be harder than climbing to the sky for Zhou Jianhong and others to succeed.
In her previous life, Gu Shichu was not like Li Danyang. After getting married, she just blindly obeyed and tried to please the four stepchildren. Instead, she educated them by giving them a sweet date after a beating. Although she was busy with housework and farm work every day, she never relaxed about their studies and always urged them to make progress.
It can be said that the original owner was really a good stepmother in her previous life, who devoted herself to educating her stepchildren. Unfortunately, her own ending was not so satisfactory.
She really burned herself to light up others and dedicated her whole life to the Zhou family.
Li Danyang did not discipline his children like the original owner, so naturally he could not achieve the same results.
When Gu Shichu and Ji Mingtao took their daughter back to their hometown to visit their parents' graves, Li Danyang looked at the handsome couple, the beautiful little Ruxing who looked like a little princess, and then looked at his four stepchildren who were as naughty as mud monkeys, and murmured in disbelief:
"How could this happen? Why didn't the Zhou family prosper, but Gu Shichu and Ji Mingtao lived so well? Why is this happening? Did I make the wrong choice again..."
Because of his new stepmother in this life, Zhou Jianhong failed to become the richest man and became a gangster. He was idle and stole things all day long. His leg was broken when he was less than 30 years old. Zhou Jianying also failed to become a medical expert. She barely finished elementary school and went to work in the south. Later, she married a co-worker and was always fussy about trivial matters.
Zhou Jianzhan did not become a gangster. Instead, he took over his father's job as a worker and became one of the millions of ordinary workers. Zhou Jianfang could not become a big star either. She went to the city to learn hairdressing, and later fell in love with a gangster, eloped with him, and disappeared since then.
Gu Shichu and Ji Mingtao developed their respective careers in Beijing, and formed a warm and loving family of three with their daughter, and later a family of four with a younger brother...
