Chapter 470. Nothing to show
During the first seven days when the dry good shop opened, Hu Zi came over early in the morning every day to help. After five consecutive days of helping, he was no longer needed. Li Ai Guo and Zhou San Ni were both competent.
The couple live there by themselves. Although the place was a bit crowded, the conditions weren’t bad. Especially since they were near the big market. They can eat whatever they want.
The sum of the couple’s wages wasn’t low, they can afford a decent meal.
At least Lin Qing He noticed Zhou San Ni and Li Ai Guo’s complexion improved after coming here.
Because there was such a large truck of goods coming, it went without saying the shop was filled.
And because they were too valuable, Zhou San Ni and Li Ai Guo kept a cautious eye on them. Every night they have to take stock of them to see if there is anything amiss.
In terms of working attitude, it was top-notch. Of course, Ma Cheng Min also had to come to take inventory at the end of each month.
It wasn’t just this side. The other shops were the same, except for the dumpling shop run by Zhou Qing Bai.
When the handover was completed, Lin Qing He was in a good mood and came back to the dumpling shop with Zhou Qing Bai.
Second was holding the spoon. However, there was an uninvited guest sitting in the dumpling shop. It wasn’t anyone other than Xu Sheng Mei, who hadn’t been seen for a long time.
When Xu Sheng Mei saw the husband and wife come back, her eyes lingered on the truck. She greeted: "Uncle, Aunt."
God knew how shocked she was when she went to Father Zhou and Mother Zhou’s side today and got told by this grandaunt-in-law that her uncle had bought a truck.
She naturally knew that her uncle and aunt’s family was well off. They had a job and a store. She had never been in contact with the purchase cost before, so she wasn’t very clear about the profit.
But even if she didn’t know the profit, she knew whether the business was good or not. Otherwise, how could she have opened another after another?
Even like this, Xu Sheng Mei never thought that her uncle’s family could afford a large truck.
Regardless of whether this was a truck or any kind of vehicle, it was a four-wheeled one. A four-wheeled one was different.
Zhao Jun had wanted to buy one. It took until half a month ago before Father Zhao bought a Hongqi car.
It cost a few tens of thousands. It made the entire Zhao Family’s face go up.
Zhao Jun can drive. Xu Sheng Mei was often drove around by him. This made her feel lucky for her decision more than once. If she didn’t pick Zhao Jun, would she have such a good life?
So her old decision wasn’t wrong.
Because Zhao Family bought it, Xu Sheng Mei knew how rare these four-wheel cars were. So she really didn’t expect that her uncle would be able to buy a car.
Even when she knew that his shop made money, it was a difficult feat to buy such a truck no matter how profitable it was.
But her uncle had bought it!
"Why do you got time to come?" Zhou Qing Bai saw that his wife hadn’t even responded and spoke.
"I just visited Grandma and Grandpa. I come and see them a few times every month." Xu Sheng Mei said.
This was why Lin Qing He looks up to Xu Sheng Mei a little bit. Because if this white lotus flower got a few more years of cultivation, she would be really excellent.
She was still a bit green now.
"Uncle, I went to my grandparent’s place and found out that you bought a car. That’s really amazing. This car must be costly?" Xu Sheng Mei continued.
"Ain’t that right? All the money at home had been depleted on this and even borrowed a lot from others." Lin Qing He replied.
Xu Sheng Mei said softly: "Don’t worry, Aunt. I didn’t intend to borrow money. I just heard that you bought a car with my uncle and felt overjoyed. I came here to congratulate you."
Look, how good her words were. But this heart wasn’t on the right path, so Lin Qing He straightforwardly uttered: "I heard that you are very close with Zhang Mei Lian, the daughter of old Zhang Family from next door? Someone has witnessed it a good few times. Saying you guys were talking and laughing."
"That was all a long time ago. After I found out about her matter, I didn’t talk to her much." Xu Sheng Mei’s face was a little stiff.
"That’s okay. Otherwise I would have thought that you knew her origin and identity and still wanted to encourage her to be with Hu Zi. Hu Zi is your cousin and he’s good to you. You can’t harm Hu Zi like that." Lin Qing He said.
"What are you saying Aunt? I don’t have that kind of mind." Xu Sheng Mei shook her head.
Lin Qing He scanned her a few times. It was truly right to say she was young. The gaze in her eyes wasn’t steady enough. As expected, she held bad intentions.
Lin Qing He didn’t catch her on the spot, so she didn’t bother to go at her.
"Zhao Family also bought a car, which cost about 40,000 yuan. Not cheap at all." Xu Sheng Mei changed the direction of the conversation.
"It’s Zhao Family who bought it. Not Zhao Jun, right?" Lin Qing He pointed out.
Xu Sheng Mei’s smile stiffened and said, "It’s too expensive. How can Zhao Jun afford it?"
"Wang Yuan can afford it. Er Ni got a day off yesterday. Wang Yuan drove her out to go on a date. I heard from Er Ni that they ate some steaks and wines? That restaurant is quite high-end. There’s people specialize in playing a guitar." Lin Qing He mentioned.
Xu Sheng Mei felt her heart was stabbed.
Of course she knew Zhou Er Ni’s boyfriend was flawless.
He was very rich. He opened a garment factory and had more than 500 workers. Her grandma said that it was expanding and recruiting in the past two years. How big was this factory to accommodate so many people?
Moreover, with so many people under his hand, it was unimaginable how much money was made. It was no wonder that he can afford a car by himself!
She took great pains to marry Zhao Jun. Although she was married very well, it was far worse than Zhou Er Ni’s marriage. Especially since she heard that Wang Yuan was very good to Zhou Er Ni. Doted her like she was the apple of his eyes.
Xu Sheng Mei felt uncomfortable in her heart.
"Aunt, I’ll go to the shop and find Sister Er Ni to sit around." Xu Sheng Mei couldn’t stand staying here anymore and forced herself to say.
"Er Ni is very busy." Lin Qing He responded.
"I won’t get in her way." Xu Sheng Mei finished speaking and went over.
Lin Qing He waited for her to leave before harrumphing softly.
Zhou Qing Bai was calm throughout. Zhou Xuan simply read his book and didn’t dare to interrupt anything. The father and son knew which side to take.
Aunt Ma was direct: "Why does she come here so frequently when you dislike her, Teacher Lin?"
"I also don’t understand. Before, my eyes were wrong. Her face can be so thick. My dislike toward her is clear. But look at her. She can come here from time to time. Made it seems like I, the elder is holding past matters without ever letting it go." Lin Qing He said in disgust.
Aunt Ma was very clear and spoke: "She wants you relatives. Otherwise, she had nothing to show in Zhao Family."
