222 The Three Follows and Four Virtues of a Man
“Ah?” Mother Jian looked at Jian Qingqing in a daze, not realizing what was going on.
Jian Qingqing repeated, “Mother, you can open a shop and sell double-skin milk, milk tea, cakes, and desserts. It will definitely sell well!”
Mother Jian finally realized what was going on. She quickly waved her hand and said in a panic, “No! How can I make such a thing? It would be bad if I lose money!”
Jian Qingqing did not try to persuade her anymore. Instead, she started to talk about other things.
!!
“Father, Mother, Grandfather, try this cream again.”
The three of them looked at the cream. After taking a bite, they all praised it. They really could not imagine how that ordinary milk could make something so edible, it also looked very different from the water-like milk.
“How is it? Isn’t it delicious?”
Everyone said in unison, “Delicious!”
Jian Qingqing asked Mother Jian, “Mother, what do you think?”
Mother Jian smiled gently and said, “I can’t tell what it feels like. I just feel that it’s very sweet and soft to eat. I’ve never tasted something like this before.”
Jian Qingqing smiled and asked, “Then do you think you can sell it this time? I’ll teach you how to make it. It’s very simple. I guarantee that you can learn it!”
Mother Jian was still a little hesitant. “Big Sister, why don’t you open the shop? I’ll help you do it. I can’t do it alone.”
Jian Qingqing felt that Mother Jian was always around her family and rarely went out to interact with others. She already lacked confidence and did not dare to show her face in public to do business. This was also a common trait of women in this era.
She encouraged, “Mother, it’s alright. Don’t worry and do it boldly. Your daughter has earned so much money that she can’t spend it all. She’s not afraid that you’ll lose money. If you lose money, I’ll earn it back. It doesn’t matter. Besides, I think you’re great! You’re careful and patient. You’ll definitely do better than me. When that time comes, you’ll earn money to support me!”
Mother Jian chuckled, she said angrily, “How can there be money that can’t be spent? I’ll think about it again. I’ll tell you when I think about it. Also, what if I open a shop and work at home? Are you counting on your father? He can’t even see life in his eyes.”
This was a problem. Jian Qingqing glared at Father Jian and said, “Father, did you hear that? Mother said you don’t work! It’s not that I’m scolding you, but you’re mother’s husband. Husband and wife are one. Why do you only let mother work?”
Father Jian said aggrievedly, “I didn’t just let her work. I helped her too, okay? I even burned the fire when she cooked.”
“You only know how to start the fire. The ground is so dirty and you didn’t even help when the broom fell.”
“How is the ground dirty? It’s clean.”
Jian Qingqing glared at him and said, “Father, what’s the duty of a husband?”
It was the first time Jian Dalang heard this. He asked in confusion, “What are they?”
Jian Qingqing brought out the ‘Three follows and four virtues’ that were used to train her boyfriend in modern times. She said, “Three follows mean that the husband has to follow the wife’s orders when she goes out, when she’s angry, and when she says you’re wrong. The four virtues mean that the husband has to wait for the wife to dress up, and he has to be willing to spend money on her, endure her temper, and remember her birthday. Do you remember it?”
Being ridiculed so blatantly by her daughter, Mother Jian gave her a slap in the face. “What nonsense are you spouting? A lady is not shy at all, stop talking.”
Jian Qingqing retorted, “What nonsense am I spouting? It’s all the truth! It’s all in the books. Not only are there three followers and four virtues of men, but there are also three followers and four virtues of women. If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you!”
