Chapter 157: Quarrel
He Jinqiu would take her children back to her parents’ home on the second day of every Chinese New Year.
Although my parents on my mother's side have passed away a long time ago, I still have a good relationship with my older brother, so I want to give him some gifts and go visit him.
The family business made some money this year, and He Jinqiu was very generous. She gave her eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law a set of clothes each, as well as homemade smoked pork, sugar, wine, and biscuits bought in town, and canned fruit that her son specially asked the bus driver to bring back. She brought some of all of them.
Meng Fude did not go back to her mother's home this time, but He Jinqiu went with her two daughters and granddaughter.
On the He family's side, several brothers and sisters gathered together, with the eldest brother's house as the center.
In the past, He Saijun was the most prominent in such occasions. After all, she married well, had a sewing machine at home, and made clothes in the commune and could earn work points just by sitting there. She was the envy of her sisters.
But this time it's different.
As society became more open, the Meng family also started doing business. They opened a shop in the town and hired workers. They were doing very well and were considered to have made a name for themselves.
Although He Saijun also changed from a tailor stall to a shop, everyone is watching and her business is not as good as that of the Meng family.
Moreover, although no one knew the details of what kind of business Jose was doing and what methods he used with his partner named Ye, it was clear that it was all in line with the Meng family.
The He sisters usually don't get along well, and everyone knows that.
But no matter how bad the relationship is, they are still sisters of the same bloodline. Such shameless money cannot be earned! This time, He Saijun went back to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year alone, and left relatively early.
The gifts she brought were also pretty good, including clothes, candies and cakes. She was considered generous among all the relatives.
It’s just that the eldest brother of the He family had a calm attitude, and he was also trying to persuade her not to do things that would make others feel bad about her.
Jose brought back so many things, but he didn't get a single word of praise and was even criticized by others, so naturally he was unhappy.
Just at this time, the Meng family arrived.
What a coincidence, He Jinqiu also made clothes for her brother and sister-in-law.
By comparing the clothes of the two companies, you can immediately tell which one is better and more high-end.
In the past, whenever Jose returned to his mother's house, even if he brought a piece of cloth, he would be lifted up by his cousins.
This time everyone said that she was thoughtful and still remembered her brother and sister-in-law from her mother's side, and started to surround the Meng family.
Jose was left out and his already bad mood became even worse. He almost gritted his teeth when he saw the mother and daughter.
Jose-kun hates it too!
Ever since she started a business with the Ye family, her life has been full of ups and downs. She hasn't made much money and has had a lot of troubles.
In fact, even if Ye Pingshun didn't come to her, He Saijun was planning to open her own store.
After all, she didn't like others walking in front of her, especially her sister He Jinqiu.
It’s just that she is a little timid. When the policy was not open before, she had ideas but didn’t dare to act. Now that it is open, the Ye family just happened to come to her.
The two hit it off immediately, quickly reached an agreement, and developed a careful plan.
He Saijun is responsible for production, while the Ye family tries to get other people's supply and sell it to the outside world.
At first, Jose thought that after opening a shop and hiring someone, she could become a real master chef, sitting with a cup of tea in hand and feet up every day, and she could make a lot of money just by giving pointers to others. It would definitely be more comfortable than being a tailor herself.
Who would have thought that the road to opening a store would not be smooth, and the Meng family directly confronted them.
They have tried many tricks, but they are always suppressed by others and they can't make money even if they learn from them.
Originally, Jose thought that as long as his business became successful, he would immediately open a branch and let his two sons run the business so that the whole family could make money. Who knew it would turn out like this.
Because he didn't make any money and couldn't recoup his investment before opening the business, Jose had a bad New Year.
He Saijun had a quarrel with her husband over this matter last night. Today, she went back to her parents' home alone, feeling very angry. First, she was scolded by her eldest brother from her parents' home, and then the Meng family stole the limelight. She couldn't suppress her anger at all, so she started to speak sarcastically about Meng Changli.
Why didn’t you bring her with you when you went to Nancheng this time? You got such good materials but didn’t even share any with her. You only cared about making money and didn’t care about family ties at all.
Meng Changli originally wanted to just piss off He Saijun. It would not look good to have a quarrel in someone else's home during the New Year. Who knew that this guy would be so shameless.
Meng Changli didn't get used to her either.
"Aunt, it's not that I'm selfish and don't want to help you, it's that you're too ignorant to actually do business with the Ye family.
Didn't you ask before you agreed to this?
Not to mention my Meng family, even me, Meng Changli and Ye Pingshun, have quarreled by pointing at each other's noses.
You are teaming up with their family, aren't you just trying to mess with us?
It is because of our relationship that I can sit down and have dinner with you calmly. If it were someone else, I would have slapped her in the face a long time ago."
Meng Changli's words are so irritating!
When Jose heard this, he slammed the table and the two of them started arguing.
Just talking about the business between the two families, He Saijun would definitely not be able to win the argument with Meng Changli. After all, what she did would be disgusting to anyone.
He Saijun also understood, and after a few words he started to make personal attacks, saying that Meng Changli deserved to be divorced, that she was too aggressive and unfilial, and that was why Huang Jialin looked for someone else outside.
Before she said these things, He Jinqiu just looked at her coldly and didn't say anything. As soon as she said these things, He Jinqiu got angry and slapped her twice in front of all the relatives.
Jose-kun looked at his sister in disbelief, "You hit me?"
Since he was a child, Jose has never taken this honest and dull sister seriously.
But now, she hit herself.
He Jinqiu pointed at her angrily and said, "I wanted to beat you up back then."
When He Sai heard this, he laughed, "Sister, you are so proud too? It's not a big deal to make some money!
Yes, money makes the world go round, this thing is indeed a good thing.
But so what?
Look at the current situation of your family. Chang Li is divorced. How shameful it is. She will have to raise two children for the rest of her life and no one will want her.
As for Shulan, she didn't pass the exam last year, and I think it's useless to go to school again this year. She doesn't focus on her studies, and she's just dating like other people. If she had found a classmate, someone with ability and background, it would be fine, but look at what kind of person she found? The guy next door to your family has old people and children to take care of, a burden to the family, and he can't even find a wife.
What a grown-up girl, still a high school student, with such a vision, must she have been stupid because of reading too much!
Sister, I heard that you agreed, when will you treat us to a banquet?..."
He Saijun still thought that He Jinqiu knew about the affair between Meng Shulan and Gu Hansong, after all, it had spread throughout the village.
How could she know that He Jinqiu had been kept in the dark for various reasons.
So before Jose could finish his words, he was slapped again.
He Jinqiu said she was talking nonsense and deliberately ruining her daughter's reputation.
