I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

"Yes, mother, that's what I thought. I just came back and I wanted to try to make something. Now it seems that my skills have not become rusty." Wen Ruizhou had a warm smile on his face. He looked down at the small wooden table in his hands that had already taken shape and could stand steadily, and he had some expectations for the future in his heart.

After hearing this, Liu Sufen nodded repeatedly, and a loving smile appeared on her wrinkled face. She said in a soft tone: "Not bad, not bad. Your daughter-in-law is about to give birth. It would be good for you to find a job as soon as possible."

Wen Yaoshi walked out of the house carrying a hoe and saw two people tinkering with something in the yard. He couldn't help but walk over curiously to take a closer look.

"Mom, brother, what are you doing?"

Liu Sufen looked back at him and said, "Your eldest brother is planning to be a carpenter and wants to test his skills to see if they are rusty. It's a good opportunity for you to come and take a look, second brother."

Wen Yaoshi put the things in his hand on the ground, squatted down and took the wooden table from Wen Ruizhou's hand, carefully checked the details of the wood joints, and did not see anything wrong. Moreover, the wooden table was very stable when placed on the ground, and did not shake at all. Anyone who came would have to praise that this wooden table was really well made.

"Brother's cooking skills are absolutely impeccable." Wen Yaoshi nodded and praised him generously.

Wen Ruizhou pursed his lips and smiled, then looked up at Wen Yao and slowly said, "I plan to rent a shop in town and make furniture for people. Yao, why don't you come with me? It happens that you know a little bit, so we brothers can work hard together."

When Wen Yaoshi heard this, he was stunned at first, then he frowned slightly and lowered his head, as if thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

His eyes fell on the wooden table on the ground, and another thought arose involuntarily in his mind. It seemed that it was not impossible to open a store?

"That's fine. Why did you suddenly think of this, brother?"

"Actually, I didn't have this idea at first. It was only later that my younger sister mentioned it inadvertently and I kept it in mind. Then I thought about going home and trying it. Now it seems that it should work." Wen Ruizhou explained slowly.

Yesterday I visited Wen Shutang’s newly purchased yard, and this idea took root in his mind. After all, who doesn’t want to earn money with their own hands and give their family a good life?

Wen Yaoshi nodded, with a moment of hesitation on his face: "But now there is a question, how much money does it cost to rent a shop in town?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruizhou pursed his lips and his expression froze. It was obvious that he had overlooked the most important issue. The shop in the town would definitely not be able to sell the silver without ten taels of silver. So where should he find the ten taels of silver?

He couldn't ask Wen Shutang to borrow money again. He was already embarrassed when my younger sister gave him the title deed to the courtyard in the village. If he went to my younger sister to borrow money again, he would be really embarrassed.

Wen Ruizhou frowned and lowered his head to think about the problem carefully.

Wen Yaoshi looked at his elder brother's expression and realized that he had asked the point, so he pursed his lips and said nothing.

Both of them fell silent, and Liu Sufen noticed that the atmosphere in the yard suddenly became gloomy.

She patted the eldest brother's shoulder and comforted him in a relaxed tone, "What's the big deal? Your father and I still have some savings. It just so happens that you need them now, so just take them out."

Hearing this, Wen Ruizhou suddenly raised his head and looked at his mother: "How can this be possible, mother, the silver is for you two elders to keep for the future."

"That's fine. After all, we two old men are still strong and don't need much money for the time being. You two brothers can use it first and return it to mother when you earn money in the future." Liu Sufen said angrily, as if blaming her two sons for following her.

Wen Ruizhou lowered his head and stopped talking. A deep feeling rose in his heart. He was already such an adult, but he still had to rely on his parents' savings to barely open a store. This was too much of a failure.

Wen Yaoshi was also stunned when he heard Liu Sufen's words, and shook his head and wanted to refuse.

"How can this be possible? My brother and I can figure it out on our own."

"If I say it's okay, it's okay. You just take the money and go to the town to rent a shop. Don't think too much." A male voice came from behind them.

Several people looked back and saw Wen Qing holding a pipe in one hand and walking in front of Wen Ruizhou with the other hand behind his back. He looked down at the wooden table he made, his eyes full of satisfaction and trust.

"You have been a worry-free child for your mother and me since you were young. You must have made the decision after careful consideration before you decide on what you want to do. Go ahead and do it. I believe you can succeed. When you make money in the future, you can honor your parents well. Don't refuse now."

When Wen Qing turned to look at Wen Yao, his tone was equally gentle: "Second brother, you too, although you have been a little naughty since childhood, you have never disobeyed me and your mother. You two are both good kids. If you brothers join forces, you will definitely make money, so don't worry about it, just go for it."

Hearing what Wen Qing said, Wen Ruizhou and Wen Yaoshi were moved, especially Wen Ruizhou, who suddenly felt his eyes getting hot.

Looking at his father's old face, Wen Ruizhou's heart was overwhelmed by a sour emotion. After pursing his lips and being silent for a moment, he looked up and looked directly into Wen Qing's eyes with a firm and serious tone.

"Dad, I will definitely earn enough money to honor you."

Wen Yaoshi also looked up at Wen Qing, changing his usual nonchalant look to a serious expression.

"Dad, my brother and I will do our best and will never let you down."

"Good children, you are all good children. Okay, you will ask your mother to give you the silver later. This fifteen taels is the savings we have accumulated for half a lifetime. I am giving it to you. Just do it boldly." Wen Qing smiled with his eyes narrowed, took a puff of his pipe and said slowly.

Liu Sufen also had a gentle smile on her face: "Add to that the five taels of silver that Xiao Qiu left at home last time, a total of twenty taels, I'm sure I can rent a nice shop."

Wen Ruizhou felt his nose getting more and more sore when he saw his parents who supported and believed in him so much. He pursed his lips and was unable to speak.

Wen Yaoshi noticed his elder brother's expression, so he adjusted his mood and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Dad and Mom, my elder brother and I will definitely make it. We will go to the town to look at a store tomorrow and try to start it in the next few days."

"That's right. We have ready-made wood at home, so let's open the shop first." Wen Ruizhou took a deep breath, suppressed the fluctuating emotions in his heart, and said with a smile.

Wen Qing and Liu Sufen both agreed with this. No matter whether it would succeed or not, they should just do it first. Action is always better than talk.

Wen Ruizhou looked up at the bright sun in the sky and was looking forward to the future. It seemed that his life would become different from before.
