Mi Wei's words left He Tiantian and Wang Bin dumbfounded.
"Ah, why is your mother-in-law stirring things up like this?" Wang Bin was a man and didn't understand these things.
Mi Wei sneered and said, "It's like the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits. She hopes we'll both suck up to her. Now we don't even talk to our mother-in-law anymore. I need to buy a house quickly, otherwise my sister-in-law will buy one first and move out, and then I'll be facing that old hag all the time."
"Hehe, then you'd better hurry up," Wang Bin said.
He Tiantian smiled but did not say anything.
Mi Wei looked at He Tiantian and asked, "How's your mother-in-law? You seem so happy, like you don't have any worries at all!"
Worries?
Not at all?
it's out of the question.
However, those things were nothing to He Tiantian!
“Hehe, my mother-in-law is great,” He Tiantian said. “Our two families are neighbors, and my mother-in-law watched me grow up. We understand each other very well, and there are no mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts.”
Upon hearing this, Mi Wei said enviously, "Teacher He, you are so lucky."
"Hehe, life is all about living it out. If you put your heart into it, you'll always be able to live your life well," He Tiantian said. She also had many worries, but no matter how annoying things were, she couldn't take it out on others.
Especially the elders.
“That’s right,” Mi Wei said. “Teacher He has the best temper among us.”
"Hehe, you flatter me. You haven't seen me when I have a bad temper," He Tiantian laughed. "When I get angry, even I'm scared of myself!"
"Haha, Teacher He, you're so funny," Wang Bin said. "But Teacher He is right, life is something you make yourself. I'll put more effort into my family in the future and not let my wife suffer."
Upon hearing this, Mi Wei was filled with envy and said with a wry smile, "Sigh, I guess I'll have to go back to being a submissive wife."
"Alright, you're smart enough not to be bullied," He Tiantian said. "Some things can be resolved amicably if you think about them more positively or try a different approach. There's no need to make a big fuss about it, after all, we're family."
"I hope so," Mi Wei said.
He Tiantian finished packing her things, locked the cabinet, and said, "Okay, I'm going on holiday too. Happy Chinese New Year, see you next year."
After He Tiantian left, Wang Bin turned to Mi Wei and said, "You're still young. If you have any problems in the future, talk to Teacher He more often and don't associate with that Teacher Wu."
“I can tell, they’re not on the same level,” Mi Wei said. “Teacher He has a dignified and composed demeanor, neither too hot nor too cold, but he always gets things done and plans his life well.”
"Yes, among the teachers in our department this year, Professor He is particularly insightful and has great potential," Wang Bin said. "Sigh, such a good woman, she's already married."
If it were a few years earlier, he would have pursued her no matter what.
"Yes, thank you for reminding me, Brother Wang." Mi Wei said gratefully. Wang Bin was in his thirties and had been working at the school for several years. Mi Wei was only assigned here this year, and he came from another school, so he didn't know much about Nanshi University.
Teacher Chen arranged for Wang Bin to guide Mi Wei to familiarize himself with the place, which allowed Mi Wei to quickly get acquainted with it and get to work in the shortest amount of time. Therefore, Mi Wei has always been very grateful to and respectful of Wang Bin.
Wang Bin was the last to leave, locking the door and leaving the school.
It's holiday time.
He Tiantian started her holiday very early and prepared some New Year's goods at home, but she didn't dare to prepare too much because she was going to Yanjing for the New Year.
The mortgage on the house in Yanjing has been fully paid off.
Originally, He Tiantian was going to go in person, but Accountant Liang said that as the accountant, she could go in her place and repay the loan.
I wasn't planning to move in yet, so the yard wasn't renovated; I just hired someone to clean it.
He Tiantian counted the days on her fingers; it was already the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, and Huo Yingjie still hadn't returned.
He Tiantian wants Huo Yingjie to come back, but she is worried that Huo Yingjie is not taking care of his rest in order to catch up on work.
It's very contradictory.
On that day, I received a letter informing me that Huo Yingjie would definitely be home before the Lunar New Year.
He Tiantian smiled and carefully put the letter away.
I'm trying my best to manage both the home and the shop, and I'm thinking of giving everyone a bigger year-end bonus this year, since we've made quite a bit of money.
She can't be the only one making money while others just watch.
He Tiantian had subtly inquired beforehand and discovered that they had received the money and all wanted to buy clothes.
With that in mind, He Tiantian took their measurements, bought the finest wool fabric, and found a master tailor to make a wool coat based on one of her own.
During the Chinese New Year, you should wear bright red. Even though it's just one color, the style is absolutely gorgeous.
The man wore a black cashmere wool coat; the fabric was high-quality and very warm.
On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, after get off work, the tailor shop sent someone to personally deliver the clothes. They were wrapped in plastic on the outside and held up on a frame inside, giving them a very good shape.
"This year, in addition to bonuses, we're also giving out coats for the Chinese New Year. They're all wool coats; the female employees get bright red ones, and the male employees get black ones," He Tiantian said. "Come and get your coats."
Qin Suyue loved to dress up, and upon hearing that there were nice clothes, she quickly came over and said, "Boss, you're so kind! I was just worried about not being able to buy any clothes!"
"Hehe, alright, you're tall, this one's yours," He Tiantian said. "If you're not satisfied, you can go to Ruihefeng Tailor Shop to have it altered."
"Yes, thank you, leader. The color is really beautiful. Bright red is perfect for a dreary winter. May our Sanfengqiao be prosperous and thriving." Qin Suyue took the clothes and couldn't wait to go home before going to the dressing room at the back to change.
When others saw this, they also took the clothes and went to change.
The male employee was rather reserved; after receiving it, he planned to try it out at home.
Ruihefeng's craftsmanship is really good. As long as the size is right, the clothes can fit, and they make the bust bigger and the waist slimmer, which looks especially good.
"Boss, this outfit is really nice," Qin Suyue said with a smile. "And it's warm too, I love it so much."
"Everyone, do your best. If you do well, I'll buy you all pretty summer dresses from Hong Kong next summer," He Tiantian said with a smile. "I'm glad you all like them."
"Thank you, leader." Everyone expressed their gratitude.
Accountant Liang and Sun Shih-hao's wife are older, so their coats are purple and custom-made to fit their body types.
Everyone was happy, and they started looking forward to their year-end bonuses.
After talking to Accountant Liang about her year-end bonus, He Tiantian stopped coming to the shop.
"Sigh, I wonder when Yingjie will be back," Jiang Lifang said softly. She had received a letter earlier informing her that her son would be back before the Chinese New Year, but it didn't say which day.
"Mom, don't worry, it'll be fine as long as he comes back before the New Year," He Tiantian said, her heart filled with even more longing for Huo Yingjie. However, she couldn't show it in front of her in-laws and had to comfort her mother-in-law instead.
