Chapter 472 Puppy Love
That day, Jiang Xinbai was talking to her sister-in-law when she received a call from her mother.
"Hey, Mom, um, okay, I get it."
After Jiang Xinbai hung up the phone, she said to her sister-in-law a little embarrassedly: "Sister, my mother has something to do, I need to go there..."
Yang Xiufen waved her hands repeatedly, "It's okay, do I need you to accompany me? Go quickly, Auntie probably has something urgent to do, don't delay."
"Okay, sister, if you want to go somewhere to play, let Jinsheng take you there. He knows everywhere." After saying that, she got up and walked towards her mother's house.
When I got home, I saw that there were quite a lot of people there.
"Mom, you can't explain it clearly over the phone. What happened? There are so many people here, why is Shichang here too?" Jiang Xinbai asked curiously as he looked at Han Shichang and his wife sitting on the sofa.
"Aunt, hey, this is our family's business. As you know, this year is Shuchuan's college entrance examination. We wanted him to go to college no matter what, but he refused to do it and wanted to start his own business. Now, there is no money at home, but he asked my mom for it. My mom did the same. She didn't ask me anything and just gave him the money. So here I am." Han Shichang said with a helpless smile.
"Hey, how many points did Shuchuan get in the exam?" Jiang Xinbai was busy recently and didn't pay any attention to these things.
"He got more than 400 points, no more, no less, and he can get into a junior college." Han Shichang once thought that his son could get into a key university like Jiadong's cousin, but later the requirements became lower and lower, from undergraduate to junior college. Later, he thought that it didn't matter which junior college he got into, as long as he could get into it.
"Then go and study. You have a university to go to but you don't go. You are a fool!"
"That's right. Meiling and I said the same thing. No matter what, if he can pass the exam, he should go to college. But I didn't expect this kid to be stubborn. He insisted that going to college was useless and he wanted to start his own business. His mom and I got angry, so we stopped giving him pocket money. We thought he would give in, but he actually set his sights on my mom." Han Shichang said, pointing helplessly at his mother Jiang Xinhong.
Jiang Xinhong on the other end was also a little embarrassed, "Well, I feel sorry for Shuchuan too. Tell me, the kid told me that he wanted to open a milk tea shop with his friends. I thought the money wasn't much, so I gave it to him."
Jiang Xinbai looked at her elder sister with amusement and asked, "Eldest sister, how much did Shuchuan ask you for?"
"It's just five thousand. I thought the child sounded pitiful and was so determined, so I gave it to him."
Jiang Xinbai laughed after hearing this and said, "Not much, Shichang, there's no need to be so angry. It's a good thing for a child to have his own ideas!"
"Aunt, it's not about the amount of money. I think he is just trying to cheat grandma out of her money. This behavior is wrong."
Han Shichang was not angry that his mother gave her son 5,000 yuan, but he was angry that his son asked his mother for money even though he knew that his grandmother herself did not have much money.
"Shuchuan didn't cheat me of my money. He said that the five thousand is my investment. If there is profit, he will give me dividends. If there is loss, he will return it to me in the future." Jiang Xinhong explained quickly.
Seeing that his mother was still speaking for her son, Han Shichang could not help but sneer, "Mom, it's wrong for him to not study hard as a student. Are we giving him less food or clothes?"
"How dare you say that? Shuchuan was a good student before, but you didn't pay enough attention to him. You were busy making money and neglected the child." At this time, Han Shan, who had been silent, retorted unhappily.
"Dad, what are you doing here to make trouble? Han Shuchuan was doing well in junior high school, but he couldn't keep up in high school. What does this have to do with us? We paid for his tuition, but he just didn't live up to expectations."
Han Shichang felt that he was wronged. Didn't he work hard to provide good conditions for his son? Now he turned around and blamed them for only caring about making money. Wasn't that too much?
"Okay, brother-in-law, it's pointless to talk about this now. Mom, what do you want to say when you asked me to come here? Or do you want me to help with something?" Jiang Xinbai asked her while looking at her mother beside her. As for the matter of her eldest sister's family, it was a family matter after all. In fact, it was useless to ask her, but since her mother called her to come, she had to ask.
Seeing that they had stopped arguing, Chen Cui'e began to speak, "I remember that you have a friend whose son runs a milk tea shop, right? Do you think this milk tea shop is viable?"
Jiang Xinbai was speechless when she heard this. "Mom, what's the connection? My friend's son has not opened a milk tea shop for a long time. Besides, whether you can open one depends on many factors. You can't just say that if someone else runs a good one, you can open one too."
"Oh, then why don't you call your friend and ask him for some advice!"
"Yes, Xiaobai, Shuchuan is a stubborn kid, so we want to let him work during the summer vacation and see if he can work for two months and then come out. We mainly want to ask what preparations are needed in the early stages." Jiang Xinhong looked at her younger sister seriously and asked.
"Okay, then I'll ask my friend. But there are milk tea shops everywhere on the street now, so I guess it won't be that easy to run." Jiang Xinbai was also telling the truth.
"Actually, aunt, today is not just about Shuchuan," Han Shichang hesitated, glanced at his wife, and then said, "Meiling, tell aunt!"
Xiao Meiling didn't expect that her husband would push this difficult problem onto her. She looked at Jiang Xinbai in embarrassment, hesitating for a long time but unable to say anything.
Jiang Xinhong was anxious, "Hey, just say whatever you want to say. We are all family, why are you embarrassed? Don't be so awkward."
"Yes, Meiling, just tell me if you need any help from your aunt. We are all family." Jiang Xinbai thought that her nephew and his wife needed her help with something.
Xiao Meiling quickly waved her hands and whispered, "Aunt, we are fine. Yes, it's Xinxin's business."
"Xinxin? Who? My Xinxin?" Jiang Xinbai didn't react for a moment.
Xiao Meiling nodded and said, "Aunt, I told you not to be angry! A few days ago, Shichang and I went to a friend's house to play, and I seemed to see Xinxin with a boy. I wondered if they were in love?"
"Oh, Meiling, don't say that. Maybe they are just playing together. It doesn't mean that a boy and a girl are in love." Jiang Xinhong quickly responded, didn't she see that her younger sister's face changed.
"Mom, who would kiss just ordinary friends?" Xiao Meiling couldn't bear it anymore and said it directly.
