What happened in Chapter 7?
"Oh, then don't worry about it, he went out with Feng Jiao." Lin's mother said with a smile. "That's good" Wang Wei's mother felt relieved when she heard that Wang Wei had gone out with Lin Feng Jiao, she didn't want her son to be like his father. Meanwhile, Lin's mother was staring at Wang Wei's mother's face and saw the relaxed expression on her face when she heard that her son had gone out with her daughter, and she felt very happy in her heart.
She then spoke up and said, "Auntie, what do you think of Feng Jiao?" Lin Fengjiao's mother suddenly asked this question, making Wang Wei's mother feel a bit strange. However, Wang Wei's mother didn't think much about it and nodded her head, saying, "Feng Jiao is a child I've watched grow up, she's very well-behaved, knows how to take care of the family from a young age, and is also quite pretty."
Lin's mother listened and became even more determined. So she smiled and continued: "Auntie, do you still remember that when Ah Wei's father was alive, our two families had an agreement to become in-laws in the future."
"I remember this thing, and later my child was miscarried, so I didn't say anything." Wang Wei's mother nodded and said. "Yes, if your child had been born, Feng Jiao might have become a daughter-in-law of the Wang family now."
Lin's mother said, "Look at what you're saying, you dare to be certain that she will definitely give birth to a son."
Wang Wei's mother smiled and said, "That's for sure, you were born to be a son who brings good fortune." Lin's mother said with a serious face, "Sister, time really flies, look at how big Ah Wei has grown. If it weren't for Ah Wei, I wouldn't know what to do, especially the past few days when the doctor mentioned surgery and we adults were all in a panic. But Ah Wei was very calm and could explain the illness clearly, he's more sensible than us adults."
After listening to Lin's mother, Wang Wei's mother felt a little indifferent in her heart. Yes, this period of time has been full of surprises for her son, making her feel very unfamiliar with him. Maybe this is what it means for a son to grow up. Fortunately, although her son has become more sensible, he has also become more attached to her than before, which makes Wang Wei's mother feel very comforted.
Mrs. Lin said, stopping for a moment: "The children have grown up, and we adults also need to consider some things, like marriage." Then she suddenly turned to Mrs. Wang and asked, "Sister, what do you think about the relationship between your son Wei and our daughter Fengjuan?"
Mrs. Lin's words stopped here, and Mrs. Wang finally understood why Mrs. Lin had asked about her daughter-in-law earlier. It turned out that she was waiting for her here. In Mrs. Wang's opinion, Lin Fengjiao was an excellent child, not only beautiful but also diligent and thrifty, knowledgeable and reasonable. If she were to be her daughter-in-law, she would definitely sleep with a smile on her face. However, the age gap between the two was a bit large, and thinking of this, Mrs. Wang fell silent.
On the other side, Lin's mother saw Wang Wei's mother being silent and began to persuade her: "Sister, I know you feel that the age difference between the two is big, but isn't this not necessarily a bad thing? A woman who is older can take care of her husband better, and they won't have conflicts. Marriage is about living together, what's important is being able to manage the household, an older woman knows how to do that. Isn't there a saying, 'a 30-year-old woman is like a golden brick, a 40-year-old woman has good fortune and longevity'?"
Wang Wei's mother was shaken after hearing Lin Fengjiao's mother's words, and she thought to herself: Actually, the girl being older than the boy is not a big deal, such things are common around her, her own grandmother was ten years older than her grandfather. Moreover, Lin Fengjiao had grown up under her care, and she knew her inside out, plus their family's economic conditions. As she thought about it, Wang Wei's mother suddenly felt that Lin Fengjiao was particularly suitable for her son.
Wang Wei's mother thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't have any opinion on this matter, but we still need to see what Wang Wei thinks." After hearing Wang Wei's mother's words, Lin's mother was suddenly overjoyed and couldn't close her mouth. She secretly thought to herself: As long as you're willing, that kid Wang Wei has already fallen under my daughter's pomegranate skirt. With a smile on her face, she said, "Alright then, let's consider it settled."
Just after everyone finished speaking, Lin Fengjiao and Wang Wei walked in from outside, one after the other. "Mom, you're here too." As soon as Wang Wei entered the door, he saw his mother sitting beside the bed with Lin Fengjiao's mother, both smiling and chatting about something. Lin's father was also on the side, occasionally interjecting a word or two.
As soon as Wang Wei's voice was heard, Qi Qi turned her head to look at the two of them. Lin's mother kept sizing up Wang Wei, while Wang Wei's mother couldn't stop staring at Lin Fengjiao. After this once-over, both the future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exclaimed in unison: "What a beautiful young woman!"
As soon as the two entered, they were sized up by the three elders with wolf-like eyes. Lin Fengjiao's face turned red with embarrassment, thinking of their intimate behavior on the road earlier. On the other hand, Wang Wei seemed to have a naturally thick skin, with an expressionless face, and said with a smile: "What's wrong, mom, aunt? Am I very handsome? Why are you looking at me like that?" As he struck a pose, Lin's mother and others burst out laughing. Meanwhile, Lin Fengjiao whispered: "Self-loving, thick-skinned."
After the two of them sat in front of the ward and chatted with everyone for a while, Wang Wei and his mother went home. Lin Fengjiao also followed Wang Wei and his mother to go home and take care of her brother, while Lin's mother stayed in the hospital to take care of Lin's father.
Three days later, Lin's father was officially discharged from the hospital. To celebrate Lin's father's discharge, Lin's mother specially made an appointment with Wang Wei's mother in advance and asked her to take a day off today, saying that she wanted to invite Wang Wei's mother to their home for dinner to repay the help of Wang Wei and his mother to the Lin family these days.
"A Wei, are you still sleeping? Get up quickly. Your Aunt Lin has already asked Yong Sheng to call you several times. Hurry up and get ready." King Wei's mother said loudly from outside the house while hanging clothes, to King Wei who was still dreaming inside the house.
"Oh, got it." Wang Wei lazily responded with a single voice, slowly moving like a bear, and then slowly sat up, rubbing his face with his hands, yawning and saying "Sleeping until you wake up naturally, counting money until your hand cramps. What a comfortable and enviable life this is, we should strive for it tirelessly." Thinking about having knowledge that transcends this era, as well as the sudden appearance of those golden fingers that recorded all major events from the 70s to the early 21st century in detail. Wang Wei's face revealed a confident smile.
Wang Wei believes that with these two aids, like magical artifacts in a fantasy novel, he can not only count money until his hands cramp and sleep until he wakes up naturally, but also fulfill the dreams he could only imagine in his heart in his past life, such as becoming a director, singing his own songs, and so on.
Also let those who care about themselves and their loved ones live a happy life.
When Wang Wei's mother finished hanging up the clothes and entered the house with a basin, Wang Wei had already cleaned up.
Seeing his mother carrying a wooden basin into the house, Wang Wei went forward and took over the wooden basin from his mother's hands, saying: "Mom, aren't you cold? What are you washing clothes so early in the morning?" Wang Wei's mother heard her son showing concern for her and smiled, saying: "What's there to be cold about? Your mom used to take on the task of washing clothes in winter, that was really cold. Sometimes I would get up in the morning and the water would be full of ice crystals, but I still washed clothes."
Wang Wei remained silent for a long time after listening to his mother's words, then softly said: "Mom, I don't want you to do these jobs in the future." Wang's mother sighed in her heart upon hearing her son's words, thinking that she had no skills and couldn't make a living without doing hard labor. But with a smile on her face, she replied: "Okay, okay, if my Wei doesn't let me do it, then I won't do it."
Wang Wei knew that his mother was just comforting herself, but he could also understand. After all, a woman with a child and no special skills had to do some hard labor to make a living. Thinking of this, Wang Wei felt that he had to speed up his plan to make money, otherwise if his mother became ill or something happened to her, even if he made a lot of money it would be too late.
As he thought, Wang Wei's mind suddenly lit up, and some information was quickly turned over by Wang Wei. In October 1973, the first oil crisis occurred due to the outbreak of the Fourth Middle East War. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) declared an oil embargo against Israel and its supporting countries, causing the price of oil to skyrocket from over $3 to a historical high of over $13 by the end of 1974. This led to economic decline in Western developed countries, with the US GDP declining by 4.7%, Europe as a whole declining by 2.5%, and Japan declining by 7%.
This is an absolutely cannot-miss opportunity to make money, thinking of this Wang Wei's heart couldn't help but bitterly smile, because as far as his current situation is concerned, even if he waits until the oil crisis arrives, he won't be able to make much money, the reason being that his capital is too little.
No, I must make money quickly, for my mother, for Feng Jiao, and for my own future dreams. I must seize the time to make money. Even if it means going against the principle of hiding one's light and biding one's time, being a prodigy is what I have been pursuing in this life. As Taizu said, "The pleasure of fighting against heaven is boundless, the pleasure of fighting against man is also boundless." In Wang Wei's view, since he has been reborn and has such a strong capital, why not fight against heaven for his ideals, family, and himself?
Wang Wei's mother and Wang Wei arrived at Lin Fengjiao's house, only to find Lin Dad sitting there with a dark face, while Lin Fengjiao was kneeling on the side, her pure face covered in tears, completely unlike her usual big sister demeanor in front of Wang Wei. She looked pitiful and innocent. Lin Mom was standing at the door waiting for Wang Wei and his mother, also with a black face full of anger. Lin Fengjiao's younger brother Lin Yongsheng and younger sister Lin Yufeng were also sniffling on the side.
