The wonton shop was doing so well that it aroused envy among others.
Someone deliberately caused trouble by placing hair, fingernails, and rat heads in the Chaos Pavilion, and demanded that Song Yinhua pay compensation to settle the matter privately, which Song Yinhua refused.
The other party threatened to call the police, making it impossible for her to continue operating her shop.
Song Yinhua never compromised.
Because once you compromise and do it once, it will happen countless times, and then the store will really be unable to continue operating.
The troublemaker actually called the police.
When Song Yinhua saw her wonton shop being shut down, she explained to the government officials that the ingredients in the shop were clean and hygienic, and that they did not use rat meat to impersonate pork.
The government's response was to wait for the investigation results.
After the wonton shop was shut down, nothing more was done.
Li Wenxiu and Song Baogen arrived in the provincial capital with their two sons. The family of four waited in the provincial capital from afternoon to evening for more than three hours, but no one came to pick them up.
The family of four left the train station and found a public phone to call Song Qiuxue.
Song Qiuxue was in her postpartum confinement period, with her husband and in-laws taking care of her and the baby. Suddenly, she received a call from Li Wenxiu and asked in surprise, "Second sister-in-law, why didn't you tell me you were coming to my place? I'll have my husband pick you up right now!"
Li Wenxiu found it strange. Wasn't it Qiu Xue who invited her and Baogen to come over and play?
She told me she was going to have a baby and kept inviting me to come over.
It was Qiu Xue who took the initiative to suggest that Da Bao come to the provincial capital to study and live at her house.
On the other hand, Song Qiuxue asked her husband, Tao Dayong, to drive to the train station to pick her up.
The mother-in-law was somewhat dissatisfied, "You just gave birth and are in your postpartum period. Your relatives are so inconsiderate. They just found a tricycle and came over. Everyone is busy taking care of the new mother and the baby. There's no time to entertain them."
Zhou Qiaoyun, who came to take care of the girl during her postpartum period, explained, "People in the countryside don't have so many rules."
Song Qiuxue whispered to her husband, "Before you go to pick them up, hide all the good things in the house. Country folks have never seen the world, and they think everything is good. My second sister-in-law is very jealous. If she sees me living so well and eating such good supplements, she will get jealous again."
Tao Dayong nodded.
Li Wenxiu and her family of four arrived at Song Qiuxue's house, took out a large red envelope, and were about to hug the newborn baby when Song Qiuxue gave Zhou Qiaoyun a look, and Zhou Qiaoyun quickly stopped Li Wenxiu.
"You've picked up countless bacteria on your train journey, which could affect your child's health. Newborn babies have weak immune systems; what if they get sick?"
"What bacteria? We don't have so many rules about giving birth in the countryside," Li Wenxiu said, pursing her lips.
"This is the provincial capital, not your rural backyard," Zhou Qiaoyun said irritably.
Li Wenxiu looked at Zhou Qiaoyun with dissatisfaction, but said nothing more.
At this moment, Song Qiuxue spoke up to smooth things over, "Second sister-in-law, don't take it to heart with my mother. She's just too worried about her grandson, that's why she's acting like this."
"Qiuxue, you're so understanding." Li Wenxiu said, and was about to sit down next to Song Qiuxue's bed when Zhou Qiaoyun stopped her, telling her to stay away from the bed so as not to infect the new mother with bacteria.
"Mom, it's okay." Song Qiuxue glanced at Song Dabao, who was running around, with eyes that only Zhou Qiaoyun could see. "Go get some candy for my second brother and Wenxiu's son."
Zhou Qiaoyun nodded, knowing that her daughter had asked her to keep an eye on Song Dabao to prevent the child from stealing things.
Li Wenxiu believed that Song Qiuxue had deliberately sent Zhou Qiaoyun away. She happily sat down by Song Qiuxue's bedside, unaware of the fleeting look of disgust in Song Qiuxue's eyes.
"Qiu Xue, I have something to tell you. My eldest sister's wonton shop has been shut down!"
Song Qiuxue feigned surprise, "Why was it sealed off?"
"I heard your eldest sister was caught using rat meat to impersonate pork and was reported." Li Wenxiu said with a hint of schadenfreude. "This morning, when your second brother and I came here, we saw it with our own eyes. The government had put up a seal."
Li Wenxiu boasted to Song Qiuxue about how her wonton shop in the county town was doing incredibly well, with a net profit of 10,000 yuan per month after deducting costs.
Hearing Li Wenxiu boast, Song Baogen whispered, "Didn't you say before that the wonton shop's monthly profit was several thousand yuan?"
Li Wenxiu gave Song Baogen a disapproving look. "I was having a private conversation with Qiu Xue. What are you, a grown man, eavesdropping on? Go away! Go keep Da Bao company."
Song Baogen was holding his second son when Li Wenxiu chased him away.
When he went to find his eldest son, he noticed that Zhou Qiaoyun's eyes were fixed on his eldest son, as if she were looking at a thief.
Song Baogen felt somewhat uncomfortable.
When Song Dabao saw Song Baogen, he ran over and said, "Dad, I'm hungry."
Song Baogen looked at Zhou Qiaoyun, but she acted as if she hadn't heard him.
Tao Dayong, who came to pick them up, stayed in the room and didn't come out.
Feeling embarrassed to have someone cook for their family of four, Song Baogen took out some leftover pancakes from his own bag for his son to have a little something to eat.
Li Wenxiu chatted with Song Qiuxue about everyday matters, her mouth never stopping. If Song Baogen hadn't made the excuse that the child was sleepy and wanted to go to sleep, she would have continued talking incessantly.
Song Qiuxue called her husband and arranged for the four of them to stay in the small guest room where Zhou Qiaoyun was sleeping.
“There are only three rooms in the house. My mother came to take care of me during my postpartum period, and my parents-in-law specially gave up their room and moved to my grandparents’ place. Now there is only one guest room left in the house. I’m sorry to trouble you.”
“I’m not wronged at all!” Li Wenxiu said enthusiastically.
After the family of four left with Tao Dayong, Zhou Qiaoyun asked Song Qiuxue, "Why didn't you let them stay in your in-laws' room? Your in-laws' room is big enough for the four of them. Mom's room is too small."
Song Qiuxue glanced in the direction Song Baogen's family of four had left, and only after confirming that they were all gone did she say, "They are all from the countryside, they haven't seen much of the world, they are ignorant, I'm afraid they will steal things, Mom, please keep an eye on them for me in the future."
The Song Baogen family of four squeezed into a small room and didn't get a good night's sleep.
In order to catch the train, they didn't eat breakfast, ate a few bites of the flatbread they brought from home on the train at noon, and didn't have dinner in the evening. They were so hungry that their backs were sticking to their stomachs.
Song Baogen wanted to go back, but Li Wenxiu wanted to stay.
The couple woke up early in the morning to find that there was no breakfast.
Zhou Qiaoyun had to take care of the new mother during her postpartum period and didn't have time to make breakfast.
Song Qiuxue's parents-in-law prepared all three meals a day, and Tao Dayong would go to get them, while Zhou Qiaoyun would take a bite.
Zhou Qiaoyun deliberately explained, "This is a special postpartum meal for new mothers. Qiu Xue often can't finish it, so I take a bite. If you're hungry, you can go to the kitchen to cook for yourselves. I have to take care of my Qiu Xue, so I don't have time to cook for you. It's not that I'm not cooking for you on purpose, so please don't overthink it."
Song Baogen couldn't stand it anymore and asked Li Wenxiu to go back with him, but Li Wenxiu refused. She hadn't told Song Qiuxue about leaving her eldest son to study in the provincial capital.
Tao Dayong went to his godfather's house at noon and happened to arrive just in time for lunch.
The old leader was on the phone in his study.
A voice came from the other end of the phone: "...The conflict resulted in multiple injuries, one death, and two missing. The young man who died was named Huo Jianguo. Speaking of which, that kid looked a bit like you when you were young, old commander!"
The old man was stunned. "What did you say?"
