Qi Fenglian suddenly felt bored. Zhou Hongyu had become more difficult to deal with, and she could no longer be easily angered by a few sarcastic remarks.
Thinking this way, Qi Fenglian felt that there was plenty of time in the future, so she might as well do something else first, such as snatching the store manager's position from Liu Xiaomei.
Now that she's married into Granny Liu's family and become a neighbor, there'll be plenty of time for them to fight!
Soon, Qi Fenglian made an excuse and left.
Chen Zhaodi stood at the door, craning her neck to stare at Qi Fenglian's back. There was something she was really curious about.
At her age, can Qi Fenglian still get pregnant?
Chen Zhaodi told Zhou Hongyu her idea, and Zhou Hongyu immediately shuddered with disgust.
Qi Fenglian's private life has been chaotic for decades; who knows if she can still get pregnant!
She scolded Chen Zhaodi: "Since you're so curious, why don't you crawl into someone's bed and take a look!"
Chen Zhaodi grinned foolishly; she meant no harm and was simply curious!
Since the birth of her youngest daughter, Huaying, she and Chang Hongbing have rarely had sex. When they were younger, they would only think about it a few times a year, but now it has almost disappeared.
Chang Hongbing had gained favor with his superiors for his previous merits and was promoted to a higher rank near retirement, making him a leader in his own right. Chen Zhaodi was extremely envious.
After Chang Hongbing was promoted, he became so busy that he couldn't take care of his family. He lived in the factory and talked about training, meetings, and mentoring new employees all the time. Chen Zhaodi found it increasingly difficult to talk to him.
The two used to go out together, and would chat for a while while washing their feet at night. Although they didn't see eye to eye, Chang Hongbing would get impatient quickly, but they would still talk every week. Now they can't do that anymore, and it's hard to even see Chang Hongbing.
Chen Zhaodi watched as Liu Laoguai carefully helped Qi Fenglian into the courtyard across the street, then looked away and ran to Zhou Hongyu's side.
She asked gossipily, "You know, Qi Fenglian isn't easy to get along with. Once she marries into Granny Liu's family, won't there be more fun to watch?"
Zhou Hongyu shook her head without answering, and instead asked her, "Zhou Bing called from Guangdong Province. He's almost done on his end. If I need anything, he can arrange for someone to send the goods back. Are you ready? If not, I'm leaving you behind!"
Chen Zhaodi perked up upon hearing this; thankfully, she hadn't been slacking off lately!
"You guys are moving too fast. But I'm almost done on my end. I have a shop up for sale tomorrow. Can you give me some advice?"
“Okay!” Zhou Hongyu agreed.
After Chen Zhaodi told Zhou Hongyu about the shop, Zhou Hongyu thought for a moment and frowned.
"I remember the shops on that street were in high demand. Do you really think there will be a shop like that? You haven't been scammed by a shady merchant, have you?"
This is clearly the shop on the street where Zhou's cousin lives. Zhou Hongyu has been asking Zhou's cousin to keep an eye out for it, so there's no reason for Chen Zhaodi to get there before her.
Chen Zhaodi immediately laughed and slapped her thigh: "Yes, of course! I've hit the jackpot! You'll see when we go tomorrow!"
She's keeping us in suspense here.
The next day, Zhou Hongyu stood in front of the shop that once belonged to Yang Yingzi and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Chen Zhaodi really managed to snag this bargain!
Chen Zhaodi had been secretly observing Zhou Hongyu's expression from the beginning. Seeing this, she was very pleased with herself: "How about it? I found a shop, didn't I!"
"Not bad, not bad!" Zhou Hongyu nodded casually.
Chen Zhaodi was holding her arm, about to tell her about her stroke of good luck, when a young woman walked out.
Peng Xiaomei walked towards the two of them, first glancing at Zhou Hongyu discreetly, then subtly averting her gaze, and said with a smile, "You two have finally arrived!"
Chen Zhaodi was a little taken aback. "You two?"
She never mentioned Zhou Hongyu at all when communicating with the Peng siblings.
Zhou Hongyu pried Chen Zhaodi's hand away and suddenly realized that something was wrong. What was going on?
Chen Zhaodi has betrayed us; they're plotting a trap for her from within and without.
Chen Zhaodi's ability to read people's expressions had improved, and she immediately explained, "Don't think badly of me. What could someone as good as me do to you? All I'm thinking about is making a little money!"
Peng Xiaomei also helped explain: "Sister Zhou, this shop is the biggest on this street. None of us could eat it all by ourselves, so we bought it together!"
Zhou Hongyu turned her head and looked at it, not quite believing it: "You didn't finish what you said, did you? Even if it's just the two of you, you can't possibly eat it all!"
Her tone was firm, and Peng Xiaomei couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
They are fully aware of every situation!
Peng Xiaomei added, "Besides our two families, there's another family that my brother brought in, making a total of three families that have taken over this business."
At this point, Peng Xiaomei's mood improved.
Having a shop means that the siblings can settle down in the capital and have the opportunity to become residents of the capital in the future.
Suppressing her excitement, Peng Xiaomei raised her hand and invited, "Sister Zhou, let me show you around!"
Zhou Hongyu nodded.
Chen Zhaodi was as excited as a monkey beside her. When she first communicated with Peng Xiaomei and her brother, the previous shop owner had not yet left. She had only taken a quick look at the shop from the outside. This was her first visit.
After the visit, Zhou Hongyu was very satisfied.
Chen Zhaodi has made great progress; this shop is excellent.
Even if it's divided into three households, Chen Zhaodi will still get over 60 square meters, more than enough to sell clothes. There's also a shared attic and an extra 5 square meters of storage room.
Zhou Hongyu had made up her mind to use the storage room as her rest room.
The former owners, the Yang family, were extravagant. They decorated their clothing store like a palace, as if they wanted outsiders to know how rich they were.
Zhou Hongyu even thought that the deadbeat who would eventually make the newspapers was the reason he targeted the Yang family, this fat sheep, because of this store.
