Gu Shaoxuan personally lit the firecrackers.

The sound of firecrackers echoed through the street.

With a crackling sound, the ground was soon covered with red paper scraps.

Xia Enruo led a group of people to stand in a row; these friends were her closest confidants in this world she had traveled to.

It is because of everyone's help that she has been able to get to where she is today.

With shouts of "May your business prosper!", the crowd, holding scissors, completed the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Xia Enru shouted to the crowd:

"Today is our grand opening day. We're offering a 20% discount on all meals and laundry services. New and returning customers, as well as students, are welcome to come and enjoy our offerings."

Each customer receives a free cup of fruit tea upon entering the store.

In no time, the shop was packed with people.

Inside the main hall, Xia Enruo specially designed curved glass counters where customers first choose their main course. Through the glass, they can then see the dishes displayed in metal boxes, with nearly 20 different kinds of meat and vegetable dishes alone.

Customers can choose freely, and the price will naturally vary depending on the combination of different dishes.

Xia Enruo followed the group into the private room, where a meal had already been prepared.

The group sat together, with Gu Shaoxuan in charge of greeting them.

Because there were too many people delivering clothes, Xia Enruo and Ge Qiuqin had to go upstairs to take care of things first.

"Xia, there are so many people today that there's nowhere to stand. It feels like money is falling from the sky."

Ge Qiuqin's arms ached from collecting and folding clothes.

The students were still waiting in long lines.

Xia Enruo was registering information on the side. The newly made registration book was used up in no time.

"Sister-in-law, isn't it great that money is falling from the sky? If things are this booming every day, we can do business for a year and wait for others to work for decades."

Ge Qiuqin couldn't even calculate how much money she could have earned over several decades of work; she just knew it was a lot.

She never imagined that she, who didn't finish elementary school and came from the countryside, could now earn money for her family with her own hands.

Now that her third and fourth children have grown up, a few days ago she and Xia Enruo went to the street and found a nice daycare center that wasn't far from home, so they put the children in there.

Xia Enruo told her that children this age should be able to go to daycare to learn to read, otherwise they would just waste their time playing at home.

Zhang Xin only goes home once a year to give money to Ge Qiuqin; otherwise, he spends all his time with Chen Yan in Yongning City.

The two rented a place to live, and they already looked like a married couple.

Although Chen Yan was unhappy that Zhang Xin had to give that haggard woman 40 yuan every month, at least she had someone by her side every day, which made her feel much better.

"By the way, you no longer have feelings for that old woman, so why don't you get a divorce? Why do you still give her 40 yuan a month? You wouldn't have to give her any money after the divorce."

Chen Yan nestled in Zhang Xin's arms, the two of them shamelessly huddled naked on the bed.

Because it's New Year's Day holiday, I haven't gotten up yet.

"We can't get a divorce yet, otherwise there will be no one to take care of the children."

Chen Yan pouted when she heard this.

"She earns 40 yuan a month. Can she spend that much? I could buy two decent outfits with 40 yuan."

Ever since Zhang Xin gave Ge Qiuqin extra money, Chen Yan wanted Zhang Xin to buy her new clothes, but she was refused several times.

The reason is that we don't have that much money left, so we have to be careful with our spending.

Chen Yan harbored deep hatred for Ge Qiuqin.

An unwanted, haggard woman with four little brats, all she knows is spending money.

Her initial decision not to have children suddenly changed.

If she were to become pregnant with Zhang Xin's child, Zhang Xin wouldn't be constantly thinking about his four children.

Once those four brats are all killed, I doubt Zhang Xin will have any more feelings for Ge Qiuqin.

Divorce is inevitable.

Then she will be able to completely take over everything of this man, including all his assets.

That haggard woman will have to wait to be buried alive with her children.

"why are you laughing?"

Zhang Xin noticed that Chen Yan unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth and asked.

"It's nothing, I just thought of some happy things and couldn't help but smile."

"What's the good news? Tell me so I can be happy too."

"I won't say. When the time comes and you need to participate, we'll be happy together."

"You little devil, you've even learned to keep people in suspense now. I'll teach you a lesson."

Zhang Xin rolled over and pinned Chen Yan down, and the two made love to each other.

After seeing off a large crowd, it was already 1 p.m.

Xia Enruo and Ge Qiuqin came down and went into the private room for dinner.

"Where are Sister Meixia and the others?"

When Xia Enruo entered the private room, she only saw Gu Shaoxuan, Yuan Qiang, and Mao Xiangling.

"Oh, my older sister and Shaojun are visiting relatives this afternoon and left early. They saw you were too busy to say goodbye, so they asked me to tell you."

Gu Shaoxuan helped Xia Enruo pull out a chair and said.

"Alright then, let's go there ourselves when we're less busy."

Xia Enru saw that Yuan Qiang and Mao Xiangling were standing very close together, and knew that there was something new between them.

"What happened? Tell me about it!"

Xia Enruo smiled and stared at the two of them, asking a question.

Mao Xiangling felt embarrassed by the question and lowered her head. She nudged Yuan Qiang with her elbow, signaling him to speak.

Yuan Qiang grabbed her hand and raised it up.

"Sister-in-law, thanks to you, it's a great success."

Mao Xiangling's face was flushed.

"Oh my, what a lovely couple! You two really know how to get things done quietly."

Seeing the two of them together, Xia Enruo felt relieved.
