"What's wrong? Brother, just tell me if you have something to say. If you can make a decision, then make your own decision. Don't worry about me." Qin Xiaoyu trusted him completely.

“I have an idea to start an infrastructure team. Right now, we only have about twenty people working on small projects, and I want to expand.”

"Great news! I support it!"

"Girl, you can't just offer empty words of support, I need the money!"

"I knew you'd say that, bro. How much do you want?" Qin Xiaoyu chuckled.

"Girl, don't laugh, I'm serious."

"I'm serious too," Qin Xiaoyu said, becoming serious.

“That’s good, that’s my idea. We’ll expand the workforce. Winter is the off-season, so I can recruit more people and get things going in the spring. We need to add some equipment and have housing. You can think about how to plan it out. I can only offer suggestions and follow instructions; you’ll have to make the big decisions.” Captain Chen briefly explained his idea.

“Okay, let’s consider this a partnership between us siblings. I’ll provide the money, you provide the manpower, let’s just get started.” Qin Xiaoyu was the most straightforward. The clothing factory had already turned a profit, with considerable monthly earnings. Tang Wenwen’s counter at the No. 1 Department Store was also making a fortune, and the funds were already circulating, so investing a portion wouldn’t be a problem.

Qin Xiaoyu, knowing that the matter was almost over, didn't dare to say much and quickly turned back.

Everyone had finished eating. The young people were cleaning up the place, while the older folks chatted together. Fengqin found the two little babies amusing and picked one up to tease them. It just so happened that she was holding little Zichen.

Qin Xiaoyu thought to herself, "This must be blood ties; there's no way to avoid it."

Thinking about it, I remembered the relocation issue. My uncle almost caused a death last time, so he's too scared to come back. Since no one contested the apartment, it naturally went to my sister-in-law's family.

The eldest sister-in-law dared not complain anymore, but still worried about the house here, and would occasionally let the breeze blow on Grandma Hanhan.

Otherwise, forget it. We can bring them out when we build the house again next year. And Grandma won't come, and Uncle won't move. Qin Xiaoyu just can't bear to leave them behind.

"Look at you, you've barely eaten anything. You've been taking care of this person and that person. Why don't you eat something?" Zhou Xing's mother handed a plate to Qin Xiaoyu, who waved her hands frantically, saying that losing weight was the priority.

"Madam, come to my car and lean against it for a while. There's no wind, and it's soft." Qin Xiaoyu helped his wife into the car and reclined the backrest a little.

"You brought me here because you have something to say, right?" The wife was shrewd.

"When I saw Tang Hu today, he wasn't acting like a stubborn mule, and he's quite likable. After all, he's Hanhan's cousin. If we leave him alone and let my sister-in-law lead him astray, it would be a waste of a member of the Tang family's bloodline," Qin Xiaoyu sighed softly.

“What you said makes sense. After your uncle’s accident, I thought about it carefully. He was a bit selfish when he was young, which was because the eldest son and grandson was spoiled by the elders. But he wasn’t a bad person. Your aunt was just unscrupulous. She whispered in his ear and eventually dragged him down.” The lady recalled the past and sadly wiped away her tears.

"Back then, I was completely fooled by your aunt, thinking I could help her establish her authority, so I let her do a few things. One of them was my mistress, who drove her away. Looking back now, I realize I was really fooled by her."

Qin Xiaoyu had only heard of Tang Wenwen's third uncle; she had never met him. She heard that years ago, he had a minor argument with his aunt, who was also his sister-in-law, and was hit twice by Hanhan's great-grandfather.

In a fit of anger, he enrolled in a technical school in Hunan and never returned.

"Has Uncle San not sent any news?" Qin Xiaoyu knew that his wife was getting old and must be thinking about having children.

“In the first two years after you left, we did receive letters, but your grandfather was stubborn and wouldn’t allow us to reply. No one dared to reply either, and after that, we lost all contact.” The lady wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I'll ask around later. If we can find it, it'll be good to come back and take a look," Qin Xiaoyu comforted her.

"Xiaoyu, my greatest blessing in this life is having a granddaughter-in-law like you. It's a pity Wenzhi has such a bad fate, otherwise our family would be so harmonious." The lady sighed, holding Qin Xiaoyu's hand.

"Tang Hu, come here." Qin Xiaoyu caught sight of Tang Hu running over and quickly waved to him.

"Auntie, what's wrong?" Tang Hu's voice changed slightly, sounding simple and honest.

"Tang Hu, would you like to live in an apartment building?"

"Yes, I do!"

"Would you like to live with your wife?"

"think!"

"Then let your grades speak for themselves. If you rank tenth in the whole year at the end of this semester, you can move in together." Qin Xiaoyu deliberately made a condition.

"Auntie, aren't you trying to get my mom to kill me?" Tang Hu almost cried out in fear.

"If it doesn't work, then forget it," Qin Xiaoyu said deliberately.

"Okay, definitely!" Tang Hu exclaimed anxiously and took off running.

"All children are good children; it all depends on who teaches them." Qin Xiaoyu discovered that Tang Hu had a good talent for painting, which could be nurtured. A career in fashion design in the future would be quite good.

After packing their things, everyone got on the bus and squeezed in to sit down.

Commander Wang hurriedly pulled Qin Xiaoyu aside and whispered, "Have you heard the news that Bai Weiwei is going to build a large department store?"

"I heard that it's being built very quickly, right in front of Hengchang."

"You need to be careful, she's determined to get back at you," Commander Wang said worriedly.

"Alright, we can't underestimate our opponent this time. I'll make preparations early."

Tang Hu took the message back, and the next day his sister-in-law came to his door.

"Sister-in-law, I heard from Xiaohu that you're going to give us two rooms?"

"This matter is not settled yet; it depends on the child's grades."

"Don't worry, even if I have to twist your brother's head off and put it on Tang Hu, I'll still make him get a perfect score!" After making up her mind, the sister-in-law expressed her loyalty to Qin Xiaoyu and went home to deal with Tang Hu.

She didn't know whether Tang Hu would thank Qin Xiaoyu or hate her in the future; she couldn't say for sure. All she knew was that this mischievous kid wouldn't have time to be mischievous anymore.

Tang Fengqin received her acceptance letter; she had been admitted to Nanjing University. However, unexpectedly, she also received an acceptance letter from the performing arts troupe at the same time. Because the announcer who was selected last time could not bear the mental pressure and had been hospitalized, Tang Fengqin, who ranked second at the time, was selected as a substitute.

Tang Fengqin, who was still immersed in the joy of being admitted to university, was stunned by the second piece of news. She encountered the first choice she had ever made in her life.

To avoid putting pressure on her, Wang Lei left the decision to her. She cried all night under the covers and then got up early to go to the Zhou family's house.

The Zhou family was sitting around eating their old meal when they saw Tang Fengqin, whose face was pale and sickly, enter. They knew something was wrong.

"Fengqin hasn't eaten, has she? Have a bowl of porridge." Zhou Xing's mother pulled her to sit down, and Qin Xiaoyu brought over a bowl of red bean porridge.

"I'm not eating anymore, Auntie. I have something to tell you." Tang Fengqin stared at the bowl, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Let's go upstairs." Qin Xiaoyu couldn't eat anymore either.

"Auntie, what should I do? I don't want to go to university." Tang Fengqin was already crying her eyes out when she got to the second floor.

"Oh." Qin Xiaoyu was a little disappointed.
