"Mom, Tiegen and I will be moving to the city soon. When we are not around, they will surely come to bother you."
Suizi gently persuaded her mother-in-law.
The decision to move to the city was already made. Even though they planned on bringing their mother-in-law, that had to wait until everything in the city was stable.
During their absence, it would be hard for the mother-in-law to deal with the whole family's scheming alone.
So, they had to resolve the issue with their relatives once and for all.
"So, what's your plan?"
"We could buy a cow, but we should do it differently. The cow has to stay at our house."
"What?"
Wang Cuihua didn't understand what Suizi was plotting, she started calculating the money.
"The money I have, plus what you have is enough. But you two will need money when you move to the city."
Prices were low in those days, but cows were an exception.
They were valuable in farmland.
A single cow could cost several hundred, definitely a major investment.
