NOVEL NEXT Chapter 931: 931
As she was thinking about all these things, Lu Yumei suddenly felt something wrong with her body and jumped up, quickly calling Liu Zhizhong.
As for Liu Zhizhong, in front of his mother-in-law, he is quite honest, not one to think much.
Honest people doing honest things, working honestly, isn't that good?
He chatted for a while with Third Elder Ding, paid in advance for tomorrow's fish, and was about to head back.
Third Elder Ding and his wife also work hard, and they readily agreed to Liu Zhizhong's order. They said they'd go out early to the lake with the wife tomorrow morning, towards the center of the lake, to see if they could catch some larger premium lake fish to give to Liu Zhizhong for free.
They are really unpretentious folks! After all, Liu Zhizhong buys fish every day at nearly double the market price.
People, comparing hearts with hearts, exchanging hearts, it's quite nice.
Liu Zhizhong still insists saying that if they catch good fish, he should pay for them, not let the couple work for free.
After all, the couple isn't of minority descent, but they've raised three kids, who are now in elementary, junior high, and high school, just about the full package.
If they were minorities, they could enjoy more benefits, but whether their kids could study would be up to fate.
And the three kids of Han people's Third Elder Ding aren't exactly top performers, nor too bad, just the kind who can get through school. Three kids, just relying on the couple fishing every day to make a living, the fees for education, supplemental materials, and weekend tutoring, these add up to a lot.
The state doesn't have many preferential policies for the Han people. Third Elder Ding's second and third child even got fines due to family planning policies!
The Han people who create the most social value know well what benefits they receive, no need to say much more, sigh...
Liu Zhizhong felt moved by the simple couple and just said, you're tiring yourselves out so much, and these kids studying is too competitive.
Third Elder Ding helplessly said: What can we do, everything's competitive! If the kids aren't competitive now, would they still want to be fishing with us when they grow up? Forget it, as TikTok says, college entrance exams are the only relatively fair way to compete, haha!
These words deeply touched Liu Zhizhong.
Being at different social levels, he could perceive more things! Some are born to work hard, some are born in Rome, haha...
Even on his way back, Liu Zhizhong was pondering: Can't this vicious cycle change somehow?
Yet, change… where to start?
Only helplessness remains.
There's a cake in the world, very stale now, but who dares to touch it, who dares to overturn it?
Just as he was thinking, Lu Yumei called.
Liu Zhizhong picked up the phone, a relieved smile on his face.
Couldn't hold it in?
Women, haha...
He answered the call happily, even being the first to speak: "Mrs. Lu, I'm on my way back, will be able to make lunch soon, is there anything you need?"
"Um... um..." Lu Yumei said shyly, stuttering, "Could you stop by the supermarket at the camp on your way back and buy me something?"
"Sure, what do you need?"
"It's just... I got my period, no supplies..."
"Oh? Haha, alright, alright, I understand, I understand..."
Liu Zhizhong laughed happily, he understood.
No wonder in these days, the usually gentle and charming mother-in-law is abruptly irritable today, turns out it's because of this, haha...
