Chapter 79 Zhong Hua Talks about Cooperation
Splitting up a family is a common thing these days, but the sisters-in-law of the Zhong family do not want to split up.
The old man of the Zhong family joined the army when he was young, and after retiring he received money from the state every month.
The two old men and women lived an honest life and didn't have many needs for money, so most of it was used to support the younger generation.
For example, Zhong Hua's textbook fees, Zhong Long's snacks, etc., the old family members have never worried about them over the years.
If they really have to split up the family, it will be difficult to divide up Old Man Zhong's money, and they will have to pay for it all themselves.
They can only choose to take a step back.
"Dad, look at you." The eldest daughter-in-law looked embarrassed. "You're taking it seriously again. We are all elders. We said these things to joke with Qiao Qiao. If you don't like it, let's not mention it."
"You're still an elder." Old Man Zhong sneered. "Don't I know what you lazy people are thinking?"
"Normally, when I need help with something, you're always so sympathetic. Now, as soon as you hear that Zhong Qiao has made a little money, you all pounce on me like wolves. Can you please have some shame?"
Old man Zhong always speaks directly. When he gets angry, he will scold you no matter who you are. After this call, the young wife of the third brother was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do, but the other two old men were not bothered at all.
Go ahead and scold me, Dad is a tough guy, but he is actually tough on the inside. In the end, he will still distribute the money to the younger generations.
"Dad, calm down." The second son's wife now knew how to read the expression on his face. "It's not good for your health if you get angry."
The old lady of the Zhong family nodded and said, "Yes, old man, it's just a small matter, there's no need to get angry. I'll talk to the boss and ask them to discipline their daughter-in-law."
Except for the third son's wife who remained indifferent after hearing this, the other two were all panicked.
If that idiot at home knew about this, he would definitely make a scene in the whole compound, and then they would be completely humiliated.
After venting his anger, Old Man Zhong's expression eased a little.
That’s right, half of his body is almost buried in the ground, why bother with these younger generations.
"Alright, this matter is over." Old Man Zhong nodded and ordered, "From now on, don't keep hanging around the corner of Zhong Qiao's house. If I see you once, I will punish you."
"Yes, yes, yes." Several people nodded rapidly, showing obedience.
Old Man Zhong added, "You should go back. Zhong Qiao knows about this money and this business. If she hasn't informed you, you are not allowed to quarrel over this."
A few people hesitated and were about to nod when suddenly a figure walked out from the door.
"no!"
It's Zhong Hua.
She is of average appearance and height, and wears a pair of black-framed glasses. She is a typical student who studies hard in school.
She looks honest, but her words are as sharp and harsh as her mother's.
"Grandpa, we are a family, how can you speak for outsiders?"
Zhong Hua walked forward and looked down at Zhong Qiao. There was frost in his eyes and a sneer of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Still speaking for a vixen who is not a faithful wife."
Zhong Qiao chuckled.
They are indeed mother and daughter.
Zhong Hua looks like her mother, both have big faces and speak in a similar tone. Now I realize that she has read a little, and her arrogant and smug attitude makes her very similar to the eldest daughter-in-law of the old lady.
"Xiao Hua, what nonsense are you talking about?" Old Man Zhong frowned. "After all, she is your cousin. You used to play with her when you were little!"
When this matter was mentioned, Zhong Hua became furious.
Because she was born three months later than Zhong Qiao and they were of similar age, people have liked to compare her with Zhong Qiao since she was a child.
If we compare their looks, she loses; if we compare their grades, she still loses.
The only reason she could beat Zhong Qiao when they were children was that she had a healthy voice, while Zhong Qiao was mute.
When others praise Zhong Qiao, they always add "what a pity" at the end. Anyone with a discerning eye can see what they are pitying about. It is naturally his inability to speak.
Every time this happened, Zhong Hua would deliberately sing in front of Zhong Qiao. The adults would give her candy, and she would hold the candy, sing and dance on the stage, while looking at Zhong Qiao proudly.
Look, you still lost to me, you don’t have a healthy body.
The suppressed spirit will instantly feel extremely satisfied.
But this vanity did not last long. After Zhong Qiao fell into the water and was rescued and suddenly learned to speak, everything changed.
She went from being the center of attention to being an inconspicuous supporting role for Zhong Qiaoshi.
She lost to Zhong Qiao again.
Live again under Zhong Qiao's shadow.
Others thought that the two sisters had played together since childhood and must have a very good relationship. In fact, only Zhong Hua herself knew it. She even wished that Zhong Qiao would disappear completely.
Of course she couldn't disappear. The news that Zhong Qiao divorced, had a child, and returned to the compound was like a bolt from the blue. When Zhong Hua learned the news and saw the soft pink ball through the window, all the evidence was before her eyes. She was so excited that she screamed silently in her heart.
It was as if Zhong Qiao had lost to her again.
She became the best child in the Zhong family again.
"Grandpa." Zhong Hua held his head high and puffed out his chest. "We are all members of the Zhong family. Zhong Qiao made money but didn't share it with us. Instead, he paid salaries to those ignorant villagers outside. What else could this be but selfishness?"
"My mom was right. We should give this job to our family."
The old man from the Zhong family was silent for a moment.
What Zhong Hua said was right. If these tasks could be done by family members, naturally one family could help several families make money.
They all understood this principle, but the older family members were lazy and only cared about eating and drinking. Not only could they not make money by doing business, but sometimes they couldn't even speak a word of Mandarin. If they were allowed to get involved, the Zhong Qiao family would not be able to keep their money.
As an elder, he naturally had to give face to the younger generation. The old man of the Zhong family gave the choice to Zhong Qiao, the person involved.
"Qiao Qiao, you said that you discovered this job, so it's up to you whether you want to take them or not."
Zhong Hua held his head high and said, "Zhong Qiao, don't be ungrateful. Your dad has a craft, so what? My parents can do it too. Is this harder than studying? As long as you are willing to teach everyone the craft and divide the business, I believe everyone will recognize you and your family's money-losing goods."
She rolled her eyes and laughed disdainfully again.
"Then I can help you put in some good words in front of other people in the compound, so you don't have to hide at home with this burden all the time."
Mother Zhong was so angry that she was shaking all over. "This is too much! Do you really think our family is so easy to bully?"
What the hell is this about sharing the money and learning a trade? To put it bluntly, isn't it just trying to steal their skills and then steal their business? The abacus beads are about to fall on their faces.
"Qiao Qiao, you can't agree to this."
Mr. Zhong had done business before, so he naturally understood the logic behind this. There were only two possible outcomes when bringing relatives along to make money. One was uneven distribution of the money, which led to enmity, and the other was secret attempts to trip one up. Both outcomes were bad.
"None of them have good intentions. If the business fails, they will bite us back."
