Chapter 497: Hard on wife
Last year, when they paid them a New Year visit, who in old Zhou Family gave him a good attitude?
Especially at her uncle’s side. They didn’t even keep them for a meal. Think he likes to sit on a cold bench? What was so great about them? Wasn’t it just opening a few shops? As if they were anything great.
Their Zhao Family’s factories had now been fully acquired by them. After the account tallying, this year’s revenue had reached 80,000.
What kind of money was this?
What can Zhou Family bring out to compare with his Zhao family’s factory?
Why should he go over and sit on Zhou Family’s cold bench?
How could Xu Sheng Mei not know what he meant? She said, “Don’t underestimate my uncle’s shops. They are very profitable. Maybe it might not be much less than our factory.”
She had opened a clothing store and knew the profit, which was really good. Especially when the locations chosen by her was very good. There were people coming and going every day and business wasn’t bad.
“Don’t tell me this. I don’t want to go around. You can take your brother over by yourself if you want tot go.” Zhao Jun disgruntledly responded.
“Then you go find my brother and get him over for a meal. It’s New Year. Can’t possibly let my brother not come over for a meal.” Xu Sheng Mei said.
Reaching this point, she felt aggrieved. She wanted to ask her brother to come over for dinner on New Year’s Eve this year. Even though her brother was a disappointment, he was still her brother. Since he started hawking wares, he made a lot of progress.
However, neither her mother-in-law nor her sisters-in-law agreed and told it was enough to pack a portion and send it over. Zhao Family planned to eat the New Year dinner on their own.
Still, Xu Sheng Mei wanted her brother to come over.
“Call yourself.” Zhao Jun said.
“If I can, then I wouldn’t get you to.” Xu Sheng Mei said.
If Zhao Jun brought her brother home, the family won’t say anything even when they had opinions. And if she went, Zhao Family might drive him out straight away.
Then both reason and face were lost.
Zhao Jun didn’t want to go to Zhou Family, so he could only go over and call Xu Sheng Qiang. When he came, he discovered that this kid had hidden a woman in the room.
When he saw Zhang Mei Lian, it dawned on him. For once, he showed Xu Sheng Qiang a good attitude: “You kid, you got it.”
Xu Sheng Qiang responded in embarrassment, “Brother-in-law, don’t tell my sister.”
“I know. Now hurry up and go home to eat.” Zhao Jun said.
Xu Sheng Qiang turned to Zhang Mei Lian: “Wait for me at home. I will bring you a share later.”
Zhang Mei Lian replied softly: “Go ahead. I’ll be waiting for you at home.” At the same time, she didn’t forget to glance at Zhao Jun. Seeing that Zhao Jun was also looking at her, she immediately lowered her head in shyness.
“Isn’t this your sister’s friend? How did you get the ability to get her back to your rented room? And into your hand?” Zhao Jun asked.
“En.” Xu Sheng Qiang was quite proud and said, “It took half a month.”
It took him half a month to bring Zhang Mei Lian to his rented room to live together.
Of course, Zhang Mei Lian rarely went to his place during the day. Only went there at night.
Zhao Jun mentally thought, with the way you are and got her in half a month? How good was he in that?
Sure enough, when Zhao Jun brought Xu Sheng Qiang back for dinner, Zhao family didn’t say anything despite not being happy about it.
After eating, Xu Sheng Qiang returned with a midnight snack for Zhang Mei Lian.
Have to say, Zhao Family’s food was excellent good. Zhang Mei Lian was satisfied with it.
She stayed for the night. The next day she left before Xu Sheng mei came.
Xu Sheng Qiang was also reluctant to follow her over to old Zhou’s house to give New Year’s greetings.
Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai were both at home. People came and went during the New Year.
When Xu Sheng Mei and Xu Sheng Qiang arrived, Lin Qing He and the others were watching TV.
Lin Qing He didn’t say anything about the siblings coming over. Her attitude was so-so.
After hearing Xu Sheng Mei mention her brother’s resignation, Zhou Qing Bai said, “It’s good to go back to the village. It won’t be bad when you work hard.”
“What go back to the village!? I am now hawking wares. It is very profitable!” Xu Sheng Qiang couldn’t stand these words and directly uttered.
“Watch your tone with Uncle!” Xu Sheng Mei scolded lightly and then smiled: “Qiang Zi is now doing it alone. I get the goods from Brother-in-law Wang Yuan’s factory and he goes out to set up a stall by himself. It’s not worst than working to the factory.”
She got the goods from the Wang Yuan Garment Factory. Zhou Qing Bai knew about it. But when he heard that, he advised: “Since you set up a stall, do it properly. The most important thing to do in business is to be peaceful. It’s not about earning more or less. The main thing is to learn to socialize and handle matters.”
These remarks were given as his uncle. Even when he was a little disappointed with his nephew Xu Sheng Qiang, he still gave advices with hope for his best.
Lin Qing He didn’t say a word from beginning to end.
She didn’t drive out the siblings directly because of looking upon her Qing Bai’s face.
Xu Sheng Mei smiled and agreed. While Xu Sheng Qiang reluctantly said that he’ll keep note.
They didn’t keep them for a meal. Instead, told them go to their grandparent’s to eat.
“I said we shouldn’t come. They lecture me when I come!” Xu Sheng Qiang disgruntledly muttered when he went downstairs.
That was how how his business was. Those who want to buy clothes will buy them. If they don’t want to, then go away. Do they need to lick their cheeks and flatter others?
What’s more, the style was good-looking. Even when he raised the price, people got to plead him to sell it.
As for socializing and handling matters, he didn’t need his uncle to teach him. Since he didn’t give him a job, then don’t govern him so much!
Xu Sheng Mei also indifferently remarked: “Once you make money, everything you say is reasonable. You have no money now, so you receive lecture in whatever you do.”
The siblings went to Father Zhou and Mother Zhou’s side.
Upstairs, Lin Qing He continued to watch TV and didn’t criticize her Qing Bai. He was different from her. She was from outside. So even with Father Lin and Mother Lin, she could break off without worry after seeing their virtues thoroughly. Because there was no so-called family affection at all.
Those two were his younger generations. So naturally he would say a few more words occasionally.
But looking at those two’s reaction, they might be dissatisfied on the inside.
“Silly man. If you aren’t protected by a cruel and unfeeling woman like me, don’t know what will happen to you.” Lin Qing He glanced at him.
Zhou Qing Bai grasped her hand and said nothing. While the feeling in his eyes came alive.
The fortune-telling old man said that his fate wasn’t good. He should be sick and at pain at this age and the children wouldn’t make progress.
After Zhou Qing Bai came back, he had thought how if she hadn’t come then, maybe he would go home injured and not receive any good treatment.
That year, when he came back, she didn’t let him do any work and let him get well. She served him well with delicious foods and drinks.
Even though she had no feelings for him then.
Something wasn’t said, but Zhou Qing Bai understood in his heart that his wife was flawless in terms of treating him and the children despite occasionally being a little more domineering.
“It’s been hard on Wife.” Zhou Qing Bai said.
Lin Qing He amusedly gave him an eye-roll: “Watch TV. Don’t go on about this. It won’t work on me.”
