Chapter 303 Taking on private work?
Shen Qiu anxiously denied it, "Of course not. The general treats me very well and doesn't make me do hard work."
Yao Shu saw that her son was not lying and felt relieved.
It would be fine if he was embarrassed by the general. If he was really embarrassed, she would really be worried. After all, the general was a truly powerful person and could not be competed by ordinary people.
"Then what did you do? Why are there still wounds on your body?"
Yao Shu had good eyesight and soon saw the scars on her son's shoulders.
Shen Qiu's eyes were a little dodgey, and he didn't know how to answer this question for a moment.
The more he behaves like this, the more excited Yao Shu becomes.
"Did you meet a gangster who bullied you? Tell your mother quickly! Although the Shen family just moved to the city, they cannot be bullied like this!"
Shen Qiu shook his head repeatedly, "No, mother, I was not bullied."
He lowered his head, and it seemed that he was deliberately hiding something.
"Shen Qiu! You have grown up and become capable, and you dare to hide such things from your family! I want to see who is so ignorant that he dares to bully my son!"
Yao Shu stood up excitedly and gestured to walk out the door.
Seeing that the situation could not calm down, Shen Qiu hurriedly stopped Yao Shu and had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Mom, I was just bored all day long, so I went to the stone quarry. Although it was a bit hard, I could also earn more money for my family."
"Mom, I won't say anything because I'm worried that you'll feel distressed. However, although the job in the market is a bit hard, I make a lot of money!"
Although there was some guilt in the eldest son's eyes, he was more magnanimous.
As the eldest son, he always felt that hard work was nothing.
Yao Shu felt a little sad when she looked at the scars on her son's body.
"The Shen family is not so poor that they can't open the pot! It's such a hard work in a place like the quarry. You're not allowed to go there again!"
"Mom! I'm really not tired. I've adapted to it."
Shen Qiu didn't want to lose the job he just got. If he could make money in the city, what's the point of having to suffer a little?
Hearing her son talk back, Yao Shu could only convince him with reason, otherwise Shen Qiu would definitely go there secretly in the future.
"Shen Qiu! You have to remember that you are someone close to the general. If someone knows your identity, do you think the general will be happy? Is it worth losing the general's appreciation for this little money?"
Yao Shu's words made Shen Qiu finally fall silent, and he finally agreed after a while.
"Mom, I was wrong, I didn't think that much."
"I know you are filial. Look at how tired you have become over the past few days. You still have so many injuries on your body. After dinner, Mom will give you some medicine."
Yao Shu sighed, feeling helpless and distressed.
"You guys, don't go out to find such private work. I know what you are thinking now. It is just that our family cannot make ends meet and you all want to supplement the family income."
Now that the words had come to this point, she decided to reveal her plans one by one.
"In the past few days, I have been shopping around the major shops in the city, and I have already made a plan in my mind. I decided to do business."
As soon as Yao Shu's words came out, the sons were stunned for a moment, but soon someone responded excitedly.
"Mom, it turns out you had a plan for a long time. It's great."
The youngest has a relatively simple mind. If the family is doing business, relying on Yao Shu's intelligence, she will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the city.
When the time comes, the family's money will be enough for him to attend private school.
"Mom, are you telling the truth?"
Shen Qiu, who was depressed just now, also became excited. If the Shen family could do business, they would not have to worry about the family's money.
"Of course it's true. I've already spotted a shop. It's in the south of the city. There are a lot of big houses there and rich people live there. I'm going to buy a shop there."
Listening to Yao Shu's well-thought-out plan, the dull atmosphere just now disappeared.
"Old lady, I know you have your own plans. You have been wandering around the city every day these days. It seems that you have already made plans, right?"
Shen Nanshan was naturally very supportive. In his heart, it was probably quite normal for Yao Shu to propose something more surprising.
Several people were discussing at the dinner table, and everything in the city felt very new.
"no!"
Shen Bei had been silent just now, but now he said an objection, which immediately silenced everyone else.
Yao Shu glanced at Shen Bei and said, "Third brother, do you have any different opinions? Speak up and listen."
Facing her question, Shen Bei remained silent.
The scene was somewhat stalemate, and several brothers went to look at their faces, especially Yao Shu's. After all, the mother of the Shen family had always made the decision, and the decisions she made were always correct.
"Mom, have you really decided?" Shen Bei answered the question with a serious look on his face.
Yao Shu's heart tightened, her eyes flickered a few times, and she soon started laughing.
This third son is the one with the most active mind in the family, and he can think things through in the shortest possible time.
When others agreed, he immediately discovered the drawbacks, which is why he opposed it so fiercely.
"Third brother, don't worry. Mom won't steal your business. Moreover, there are so many people in the city, and there is a lot of business that can be done. You are so smart, just go ahead and do whatever you want. I will never stop you. .”
Yao Shu's tone was teasing, and the tense atmosphere relaxed a lot for a while.
When Shen Bei heard what she said, he didn't smile. He just continued to be silent and stopped refuting.
The rest of the Shen family were a little confused. They didn't understand why such a good thing was opposed by Shen Bei.
But he was very thoughtful. If he was unwilling to explain, no one would be able to learn the real reason from him.
"Okay, okay, this is a good thing. Boss, I have to tell you that no matter what you do in the future, you must discuss it with your family. You can't make decisions on your own like this again."
Shen Nanshan saw that Shen Bei had something he didn't want to say in front of everyone, so he stepped forward to rescue him and said a few words to Shen Qiu.
Naturally, the eldest son had no objections to this.
"Then this matter is settled. Tomorrow morning, Shen Bei, you and I will go to the south of the city. If you have any ideas then, just tell me."
Shen Bei nodded in agreement, but his expression was still a little solemn.
Yao Shu stopped talking about this topic and arranged for everyone to have a meal and then rest early. After all, the next few days were very busy.
Shen Fugui looked at the third brother sitting opposite him calmly, feeling a little surprised.
He vaguely guessed the reason why Shen Bei disagreed with the Shen family's business, and the meal tasted like wax.
Although Shen Bei raised objections, Yao Shu was the one who made the final decision in the Shen family, so Shen Fugui couldn't say anything else.
