Volume 1 Chapter 484 Persuading Father and Mother Sheng to Come to Kyoto

"They're all home-cooked dishes. You're welcome."

"No, no, there are so many dishes. We are in for a treat today."

Mother Sheng quickly took Mother Gu's hand and kept praising Mother Gu for her thoughtfulness and the rich dishes she prepared.

Mother Sheng has a firm grasp of the ways of the world.

Mother Gu was so pleased with Mother Sheng's praise that she couldn't stop smiling. The meal was very lively and intimate.

Wang Chunmei found out that the Gu family didn't invite her family to dinner tonight, and she was so angry that she lost her temper at home.

"What does your mom mean by not even inviting us to dinner?"

"Why are you so hospitable to your third sister-in-law's family? During the Chinese New Year, they didn't even allow my Wang family to come and pay New Year's greetings."

Wang Chunmei kept complaining to Gu Tinghao, and Gu Tinghao felt annoyed when he saw her like this.

"My third sister-in-law won't be like you and take all the money back to support her parents!"

Gu Tinghao was too lazy to argue with her. Didn’t she know why?

Wang Chunmei was speechless after hearing what Gu Tinghao said. Because of what happened to her, she could no longer hold her head up in the Gu family.

But two or three years have passed, and the Gu family still remembers it.

He is really stingy, not like someone from a big family at all. He just likes to haggle over trivial matters.

"Your third sister-in-law has also bought many things for her family, and she used third brother's money."

"I don't think it's any less than what I gave."

Don't think she doesn't know that Sheng Wanyan bought new clothes and skin care products for her family, and also bought things for her sister-in-law.

She herself was giving money, and Sheng Wanyan was turning the money into something and giving it away, so it's the same principle.

Only the Gu family is stupid and is fooled by Sheng Wanyan. Everyone protects the money-losing thing she gave birth to.

"Mind your own business. You must remember that we have separated."

"You don't need to interfere in the affairs of Third Brother's family."

"As the younger sister-in-law, you should be more respectful to the third sister-in-law."

Gu Tinghao was too lazy to argue with her, so he took Gu Jinmin out to eat to prevent the family from starving to death here.

When Wang Chunmei heard Gu Tinghao asking her to be more polite to Sheng Wanyan, she was so angry that she smashed the room.

Sheng Wanyan, Sheng Wanyan, they are all Sheng Wanyan, and everyone protects her.

It was she who was admitted to the university, it was she who was valued by the Gu family, and it was she who was treated with care by her parents-in-law.

Mrs. Gu was pregnant, and she was the one who stepped forward to maintain the overall situation of the Gu family.

Now even her husband protects her.

Sheng Wanyan is obviously so much worse than me. In terms of family background, work, and connections, none of them can compare to mine.

But the Gu family seemed to be blind and just liked this country girl from the city.

———

Sheng Wanyan didn't know what was happening at home with Wang Chunmei. She was taking advantage of her free time these few days to take Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng out for fun.

The group went to places like Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Old Summer Palace, and the Great Wall. Grandpa Sheng and grandma Sheng had a great time.

The group also went to eat authentic food. Gu Tingxiao was a local and knew where the food was the most authentic.

"Yan'er, are you setting up stalls now?"

"Won't you get caught if you do business privately?"

Mother Sheng looked at the small stalls in the alley with curiosity. No one in Rongcheng Bingcheng dared to set up stalls outside, and at most they did some business privately.

After all, for people of this era, this is something that cannot be discussed publicly.

But it’s different in Kyoto. This is the capital, and there are many people who understand the situation.

"Yes, the country needs to develop its economy now."

"Mom and Dad, let me tell you something."

Sheng Wanyan pulled Sheng's father and mother aside and told them about the other two courtyards near Peking University.

"The two empty courtyards in the middle? Yours?"

Sheng's mother passed by there these days and saw that it was empty and no one lived there, so she thought it was a house in the village.

I didn’t expect it was my own daughter’s, oh my god.

"Yes, Mom and Dad, you can see that we are allowed to trade now."

"I plan to use a small yard as a grocery store to sell things."

"There are several schools and villagers there. I'll buy some school supplies, daily necessities, and food there."

Mr. and Mrs. Sheng really didn't expect that their daughter was planning to open a grocery store. Isn't this becoming a self-employed person?

This self-employed person... to put it nicely, he is a self-employed person, to put it bluntly, he is a speculator. If it happened last year, he would have been shot.

"This...Yan'er, isn't this too risky?"

"Mom, the country needs to develop, and it will definitely get better and better in the future."

"Besides, my parents-in-law didn't say anything, so it must be the national policy."

When Mother Sheng heard that the Gu family had no objection to this matter, she felt much more relieved.

After all, if there is any news, the Gu family will definitely know it at once. So, from this point of view, doesn’t it mean that the country will be completely open in the future? ? ?

If that were true, then everyone could do business and make a lot of money!

"But this will cost a lot of money, right?"

"You have to study, and you have to take care of Yi Yi. How can you find the time to look after the store?"

Mother Sheng looked at her disapprovingly. Her daughter already had a lot of things to do, and now she had to run a grocery store. How could she handle it?

Sheng Wanyan looked at Sheng's father and mother. They always felt that their daughter had some big arrangements waiting for them.

Mr. Sheng felt his heart beating so fast that he didn't even want to look into Sheng Wanyan's eyes.

But Sheng Wanyan didn't give the two people a chance to escape and directly told them her plan.

"Mom and Dad, why don't you come to Kyoto? Help me look after the grocery store."

"What the hell!!!!"

Mother Sheng immediately raised her voice, attracting the attention of Grandpa and Grandma Sheng who were watching the scenery nearby.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm excited to see such a beautiful scenery."

After comforting the two elderly people, Sheng's mother quickly pulled Sheng Wanyan aside and started scolding her in a low voice.

"Are you crazy? How can we help you?"

"Do you want me and your father to resign?"

Mr. Sheng pricked up his ears and listened. As deputy director, he had a high salary and was a civilian position, so he really couldn't bear to resign.

"Yes, I just resigned."

"You are crazy, this is a state-run job!"

"Your father is still the deputy director of the workshop. He has a good salary and benefits. When he retires, he will have a lot of pension."

"How come a job that others can't even think of is so worthless when it comes to you?"

Sheng Wanyan had long guessed that her mother would scold her. After all, with such a good job in this day and age, who wouldn't want it?

"Mom, your factory hasn't had many orders in the past two years, right?"

Sheng's mother works in a garment factory in Chengdu. Although she is not in the workshop, she knows the situation in the factory.

The number of orders has been pitifully small in the past two years, and the factory manager always sighs when he sees people around.

There are also plans to lay off employees, which has made everyone panic.

"Mom, do you think the factory will lay off employees? How long can it last?"
