"Fine, I'm too old for that. I can't help you anymore." Master Wang knew that the embezzlement had been exposed. Although Qin Xiaoyu didn't say it outright, she was unhappy. She decided to just swallow her anger and keep quiet, but her words still carried a bitter taste.

"Master, let's just consider it as your retirement. As long as my business is running, you'll receive a pension. Don't worry." Qin Xiaoyu wanted to talk to her more, but seeing her listless and uninterested attitude, she had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

After seeing Qin Xiaoyu off, Master Wang thought about how they used to run a hairdressing school together and felt like he'd lost out. He saw how much money Qin Xiaoyu was making, while he couldn't even afford an apartment.

Qin Xiaoyu's gift was placed on the table. She glanced at it with a sour look. Besides various snacks, there was also a silk scarf in a beautifully crafted box. When she opened it, she found it was a shawl embroidered with floral patterns, which was quite pretty.

Women are all eager to look beautiful, no matter how old they are. She picked it up and draped it over herself, and with a shake, a small notebook fell out.

She picked it up and her eyes welled up with tears. It was a property deed with her name on it, a gift from Qin Xiaoyu. It must have been returned by Grandma Zhang.

Comparing people reveals their differences in ability.

Looking at it this way, he felt incredibly ashamed. Those thoughts he had were utterly shameful. No wonder she couldn't make money; it was her own lack of vision. Now, Master Wang was completely convinced.

After settling things off with Master Wang, Qin Xiaoyu approached Tian Tian and asked her to separate the boys' school from Chen's side and focus on the girls' school. Hairdressing school was no longer the priority; beauty and hairdressing were the new trend.

Ever since her beauty treatment with Mrs. Fang, she'd been thinking about opening a beauty salon. It's free money, and it's incredibly easy. Just let Tian Tian handle it; that kid's becoming more and more mature.

After arranging everything, it was almost dark when she got home. She parked her car in the yard but didn't get out immediately. Looking at the lights on in building number four, her heart was filled with warmth and life.

The family had already come over to prepare dinner. When Qin Xiaoyu came into the house, A Lei exchanged a glance with her and then continued to cover the books for his little sister.

Xiao Zhengxin was running around everywhere, causing trouble with them, and Hanhan had to take him away from time to time.

Lisheng had made some mistake again and was pulled aside by Deng Jianyan for a lecture. Tang Fengqin's belly was already quite large, and Commander Wang stayed close by her side, afraid that the children might bump into her.

After everyone had finally sat down at the table, the little baby in the swaddling clothes suddenly widened her eyes.

"This is bad." Qi Si reacted quickly, picked her up, and then grabbed a diaper from the sofa and went to the small room next door.

"No need for help?" Qin Xiaoyu was a little surprised to see that neither the nanny nor Xiao Si's wife had moved.

"That guy's technique is quite skilled, even better than mine," Deng Jianyan snorted.

"My brother is so awesome!" Qin Xiaoyu said, glancing at A Lei, the unspoken message being that she definitely needed to learn from him.

Qi Si returned quickly, held Xiao Xin in his arms, and sat down.

"You guys eat first, I'll hold you for a while."

"Brother, you look really presentable now."

"That's right, I need to learn how to take care of children, because I'll be looking after my grandchildren and great-grandchildren in the future." Qi Si was thinking long-term; he may have long forgotten his former self, the cold-blooded man who always tucked his head into his waistband.

"Xiaoli, is that all you're eating?" Her sister-in-law asked, noticing Xiaoli putting down her bowl.

"I'm full." Xiaoli seemed downcast.

"Young lady, don't diet. You look better a little chubby." My cousin-in-law generously piled two more pieces of braised pork onto her plate.

"Xiaoli hasn't come to me for her medicine lately, has she stopped taking it?" Deng Jianyan's question revealed something, and Qin Xiaoyu glanced at Zhou Xing's mother, understanding somewhat.

It seems Xiaoli is taking care of herself. Right before or after their wedding, Tang Fengqin's belly started to swell up like a balloon, and Xiaoli still hadn't heard anything about it. She was getting anxious.

“I won’t let her eat it. Young people don’t have so many problems. Medicine is three parts poison, and taking too much is not good for her health.” The cousin-in-law took over the conversation, put another piece of fish into Xiaoli’s bowl, and continued, “I’ll have to say something to her when I see her in-laws. What’s she in such a hurry for? I’m managing the store all day long, and Fengqin is about to give birth. You two should wait a couple of years before having a child. This is killing me.”

Tang Long understood his mother's meaning as his sister-in-law kept talking. She was afraid that Xiao Li would feel burdened. He secretly reached under the table and took Xiao Li's hand. The two smiled at each other.

"That's great, I can just spend all day thinking about it. Don't be so suspicious, I'm not in a hurry at all, am I?"

The cousin's wife saw all the little things the young couple did, and the last sentence was to ask the cousin to express his opinion.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm so busy at the factory all day, I don't even have time to hold my grandson," my cousin finally blurted out.

Xiaoli smiled, her face turning red.

"I was worried that my sister-in-law wouldn't be a good mother-in-law, but now I see she's doing a great job," Qin Xiaoyu couldn't help but praise.

"That's the kind of girl you trained, how could she be bad?" My cousin's wife laughed heartily.

“Aunt Wang, Fengqin doesn’t need to take any tonics, she’s doing fine. It’s normal to feel a little uncomfortable during pregnancy, so there’s no need to check her pulse every morning and evening.” Deng Jianyan was so annoyed by Commander Wang that she treated Tang Fengqin like an empress dowager all day long, who could stand it?

Even when Zhou Yue was pregnant, she never took her pulse morning and night. This had become a routine.

"It's all because her mother-in-law spoiled her. She didn't even need medicine when she had a cold as a child." My cousin-in-law's words were full of complaints, but her tone was very indulgent.

"I'll spoil you. Our Wang family is just short of daughters, so what?" Commander Wang said proudly.

Tomorrow is the first day of school, and Qin Xiaoyu and A Lei volunteered to take their child to school. They haven't done it many times, and they'll be returning to Guangzhou after this trip.

She didn't go back to her room right away that night. Instead, she sat downstairs and chatted with Zhou Xing's mother. It had been a while since the two of them had a heart-to-heart talk.

Qin Xiaoyu slowly recounted her experiences in Guangzhou to her. Zhou Xing's mother listened with joy and wiped away tears again.

"Mom." Qin Xiaoyu leaned closer and took her hand.

"I'm so happy that you married such a good man; it's truly a rare find."

"I never expected that such a playboy would have a child." Qin Xiaoyu's lips curled up when she thought of A Lei.

"Live well, you're lucky to have a good person who loves you. When are you going to have children?" Zhou Xing's mother got to the point. It turns out that no matter the era, it's always the same: pressuring for marriage and children, the same routine.

"Mom, there's another joke. He said that seeing how dangerous it was for my fourth sister-in-law to give birth, he doesn't want me to have another child. He said that having Hanhan and my little sister is enough."

"That won't do. A couple's relationship will be stronger if they have a child. You should have the baby. If you want to have the baby, go to Guangzhou. The medical conditions there are good, and there's not much risk. Once your father and I get there, we'll take good care of you and make sure you have a healthy baby." Zhou Xing's mother became more and more pleased as she spoke, hugging Qin Xiaoyu and shaking her.

"Has your wife written to you yet?"
