Chen Zhaodi and Chang Huaying felt that the letter was written strangely, but they had no evidence to prove that it was not written by Chang Yaozu.
Zhou Hongyu was certain that the letter was not written by Chang Yaozu!
She spoke frankly to Chen Zhaodi and her daughter.
Chen Zhaodi subconsciously shook her head: "Impossible, who else but Yaozu could have written it? I guess Yaozu wasn't in a good state at the time, so it gave people a strange feeling!"
Chang Huaying seemed to be thinking. She trusted her second aunt's words, so this letter was not written by her eldest brother.
And who is that?
For some reason, Zhou Hongyu suddenly lost her enthusiasm. She didn't care whether Chen Zhaodi was being abused by her future daughter-in-law or not. She deserved it; one was willing to hit and the other was willing to be hit.
She could prove to Chen Zhaodi that the letter was not written by Chang Yaozu, and then what?
Chen Zhaodi is more trouble than she's worth; she'll only drag things down. Chang Huaying, who's probably the one who's always worried about her mother, might be the one to lead the charge. What's the point?
Compared to Chen Zhaodi, who was eager to be sacrificed, Zhou Hongyu naturally felt more sorry for Chang Huaying, whom she had watched grow up, so she decided to leave it at that.
Zhou Hongyu chuckled: "Maybe I'm mistaken! It might have been Yaozu who wrote it!"
Chang Huaying was slightly taken aback. "Second Aunt, that's not what you meant at first..."
At this moment, Chen Zhaodi laughed out loud: "Although Yaozu is not the kind of person who likes to tattle, perhaps he is really short of money outside, which is why he is in such a hurry. It seems that we misunderstood."
Zhou Hongyu just smiled and said, "As long as you're happy."
Chang Huaying was vaguely worried. She hoped that nothing had happened, but her sixth sense told her that the possibility was very small.
Chen Zhaodi's problem was left for her to solve herself.
Zhou Hongyu was busy with matters concerning the branch store.
Chen Lijuan and Zhou Bing had almost finished preparing for the branch store opening. After attending Zhou Bing's wedding banquet, the opening day would soon arrive.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, friends from business dealings arrived one after another with gifts. Peng Xiaomei, representing the Peng family, presented a particularly generous gift, and Zhou Hongyu warmly welcomed each guest.
Chen Lijuan's in-laws and her own family members were all present.
When her in-laws saw that Chen Lijuan had become successful and became the manager of the first branch store, they all praised her and regarded her as a source of pride.
Her family members were unusually awkward, mostly complaining that Chen Lijuan had become successful but ended up with her husband's family, and that they had no reason to ask Chen Lijuan for any more benefits.
Sister Chen Lijuan looked distressed. The work at the slaughterhouse was physically demanding, and her body was often covered in bruises.
Seeing how well Chen Lijuan was doing, she couldn't help but say, "Lijuan, you are where you are today thanks to me. If I hadn't taken your place at the slaughterhouse, I would be the one standing in your position now! This job was arranged for our family by Aunt Zhaodi!"
Chen Lijuan scoffed, "You?"
Our boss could throw you out the moment you get to the store entrance!
Chen Biandan's wife nodded: "Lijuan, it's all thanks to your eldest sister, otherwise you would still be suffering in the slaughterhouse!"
Chen Lijuan was even happier; although the work at the slaughterhouse was tiring, it didn't tire her out at all.
On the contrary, she took every opportunity to slack off and had an incredibly easy time at the slaughterhouse.
So, after returning to the city and observing for a period of time, Sister Chen Lijuan decided to take action against her job. Unexpectedly, the job was not as easy as she had imagined.
I'm so tired I just want to kill myself.
There's no turning back once the arrow is released. Back then, in order to force Chen Lijuan to change jobs, her older sister promised to hand over half of her salary to support the family, but Chen Lijuan was only willing to hand over a quarter.
Sister Chen Lijuan is now crying out in despair. She works herself to death every day, only to end up with nothing. Such a life seems far away.
Sister Chen Lijuan suggested, "Lijuan, now that you've gained the boss's favor and become the store manager, why don't you also bring me to the branch store, so we sisters can work together in the future!"
Chen Biandan's wife nodded frantically: "Your eldest sister can't keep working at the slaughterhouse anymore. Get her to work at the shop first, then we'll figure out a way to help your younger brother and sister! We won't have to worry about finding jobs anymore!"
Chen Lijuan burst out laughing, and her older sister and mother immediately became unhappy.
"Lijuan, you won't agree? Don't forget you're family..."
"No, eldest sister, Mom, how can you be so confident as to say such a thing?"
Chen Lijuan pointed to Granny Chen, who was not far away, collecting candy and cookies with a bag.
“Zhao Digu is a veteran in the shop, and no one from her family has ever worked here. Do you think I have that ability?”
When Sister Chen Lijuan and Chen Biandan's wife thought of this, their faces turned particularly bad. It seemed that they had overestimated Chen Lijuan's abilities!
In response, the Chen family stated: They absolutely refuse to work for Zhou the Skinflint! Not only will they not earn any money, but they'll also have to pay out of pocket!

Even with her two protectors overseeing the opening of the first branch, Zhou Hongyu still made a point of making time to visit it every day.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. For several days, the performance improved slowly and did not meet expectations, which put Zhou Hongyu at ease.
She has preserved her capital, and now she can move on to the stage of making money from money.
On this very day, the capital city was blanketed in a heavy snowfall, a sight rarely seen in decades.
A timely snowfall promises a bumper harvest!
Zhou Hongyu goes out with a smile every day; she wants to earn even more money next year…
Due to a sudden heavy snowfall, train services to Beijing were repeatedly delayed.
At a train station in a small city in Northeast China, a man and a woman anxiously waited in the station hall for staff to announce news.
If they still can't set off today, they will be left homeless with no money.
Chang Yaozu, carrying large and small bags, couldn't help but clench the straps in his hands.
Xu Yu was pale and swaying as if about to collapse: "Brother Yaozu, does even God not want me to go to the capital with you?"
