"If you argue with her, you'll lose face!"
Ge Hong urged, "You still have the renovation money Xiao Pan gave you this morning. Spend it all on ten or eight items, and see how Chen Zhaodi will have the nerve to say that!"
Ge Hong got a piece of clothing from them and later learned that the clothes there were all high-end, expensive and beautiful, which earned her a lot of praise.
Ge Hong wanted to buy a few more items, but she didn't have the money, so she set her sights on the teahouse's renovation budget.
Aunt Bai was particularly afraid of her son-in-law and couldn't help but feel timid: "I won't be able to explain how the renovation money was spent..."
Actually, she really wanted to show off!
Especially in front of Chen Zhaodi!
Ge Hong clapped her hands excitedly: "Isn't it because Xiao Pan is here to cover for you? It's just once, it's really no big deal!"
Aunt Bai touched her pocket, steeled herself, and walked towards Chen Zhaodi.
"Get me a few more clothes to try on! I'm a dog if I don't buy this!"
Chen Zhaodi: "..."
A dog? You treat your own daughter badly, but to me she's less than a dog!
Finally, Aunt Bai bought an extremely expensive spring coat, while Ge Hong managed to get three pieces of clothing by a combination of coaxing and trickery, spending a little over a thousand yuan in total.
Chen Zhaodi took them to pay the bill and couldn't help but shake her head. They weren't a wealthy family, yet they loved to show off.
You can buy half a house for a thousand yuan.
Having made their money, Chen Zhaodi saw them off amicably, which obviously caused a new misunderstanding.
Ge Hong whispered in his ear, "See? Chen Zhaodi is a snob. Her attitude changed immediately after we paid her money! She won't dare to look down on us again!"
Chen Zhaodi: Stop! If you come again and bother people without spending any money, I'll kick you out!

Because of Chairman Lin's casual remark, Zhou Hongyu has been busy raising money these past few days.
As the largest garment factory in Beijing, with hundreds of employees and nearly a thousand family members, Zhou Hongyu estimated that she would need at least 200,000 yuan to qualify for a seat at the table.
Two hundred thousand, two hundred thousand...
Although she already has five stores, she can't even come up with 100,000 yuan!
Give her some more time!
Moreover, construction on her five-story villa will begin again in the spring, and money is flowing out like water.
Zhou Hongyu was in a hurry, and when Zhou Liangyu called her, he couldn't help but mention it. Zhou Liangyu offered to lend her money.
Zhou Hongyu was startled: "Second sister, two hundred thousand, not twenty thousand! Lend it to me!"
She even felt that borrowing 20,000 yuan from her siblings would be a lot, let alone 200,000 yuan.
Zhou Liangyu was silent for a moment: "I will be in the capital in a few days. Let's talk about this in person!"
"Second Sister, you finally have time to come back!" Zhou Hongyu was so happy she almost jumped for joy.
My second sister is a workaholic; she usually doesn't even have time to take care of her family, so it's rare for her to travel all the way back to Beijing.
Zhou Liangyu didn't say much on the other end of the phone, only telling Zhou Hongyu not to worry too much about the money, as she would take care of everything.
Zhou Hongyu was completely relieved. In the past, when her mother said these words, she could lie down without any worries. Now that her mother was getting old, she didn't need to trouble the elderly with these things, so she had to bear everything herself. However, her second sister was coming back!
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Hongyu went home and told her mother-in-law about it.
Granny Zhou clapped her hands with delight: "After all these years, your second sister has finally found the time to come back!"
A few years ago, Zhou Liangyu had the opportunity to be transferred to work in the capital, but she was tricked by a relative, which led to the end of her career.
Granny Zhou was fickle and, in order to make room for Zhou Liangyu, cruelly kicked Zhou Hongyu out of the house.
Granny Zhou's words made perfect sense: "Your second sister rarely comes back, so she'll probably be bringing her children with her. Apart from my room, the room you're currently in is the best in the whole family. Didn't you build a new house? Go back to your house!"
Zhou Hongyu accepted her defeat, packed her things, and laid out her bedding...
Even your bedding must be left behind!
Granny Zhou: "Did your second sister really travel all that way back with her bedding? And you won't even let her use it!"
Zhou Hongyu surrendered with both hands raised. Not only that, she also gradually prepared a lot of things.
Because Zhou Liangyu couldn't explain clearly on the phone, and it was still unknown which nephews she was bringing back, Zhou Hongyu readily provided everything for the girls and boys.
The day before Zhou Liangyu returned, Granny Zhou went to inspect the situation and was very satisfied with Zhou Hongyu's work.
"Hongyu, when your second sister comes back, I'll put in a good word for you and get her to give you a big red envelope!"
Zhou Hongyu stuck out her tongue guiltily.
A huge red envelope! My second sister said she'd lend her 200,000 yuan...
The next morning, Zhou Liangyu arrived at the train station with her youngest daughter, Tian Xiaoman, and Zhou Hongyu went to the train station to pick them up and take them back to Zhoujia Village.
Tian Xiaoman had only been to Beijing when she was a child and her mother brought her back to visit relatives. Over the years, Beijing had changed a lot, and she was curious about everything she saw on the train.
There's no need to worry about her for now. Zhou Liangyu, whom Zhou Hongyu hadn't seen for a long time, kept talking to her.
Although we keep in frequent contact, it seems like we have so much to talk about when we meet.
After exiting the train station, Zhou Bing waited for someone next to the tractor.
"Liangyu Gu!"
"You are... Zhou Bing!"
Zhou Bing was instantly impressed that he could still recognize him after all these years.
As Zhou Bing sat on the tractor, he joked about it.
Zhou Liangyu sat upright, her eyes smiling: "I'm not a god, it's all thanks to Hongyu! Hongyu often talks about you! Aren't you Zhou Bing, the one from my cousin Zhou's family who still likes to show off even after getting married!"
Tian Xiaoman turned to look at Zhou Bing, who was driving a tractor in front of her.
Wearing leather shoes, using hairspray, and sporting a slicked-back hairstyle that was shiny and lustrous, her mother was absolutely right!
Zhou Bing's ears turned red, and he no longer dared to joke around, but drove the tractor seriously.
Zhou Hongyu sat between her second sister and niece, affectionately holding Tian Xiaoman's hand, and gently scolded with a smile: "Second sister, Xiao'an and Xiaoman are twins, why did you only bring one back? Mom will definitely nag you when you get home!"
Zhou Liangyu pursed her lips and started talking about what made her unhappy.
Tian Xiaoman showed no sign of anything amiss, continuing to hold Zhou Hongyu's hand and laugh incessantly.
Zhou Hongyu looked over worriedly. Could it be that her second sister was in trouble?
Zhou Liangyu whispered in Hongyu's ear, "After I come back to see Mom and your family, I have to go to Japan for an exchange program. A university there has invited me to be a professor there for three years!"
Go to Japan to become a professor?
Although my second sister failed to be transferred back to Beijing last time and was also badly betrayed by so-called relatives, judging from what she says about her current situation, the impact of those years has almost diminished.
They've been working hard all these years and are expected to get promoted, so why are they suddenly saying they're going to Japan for an exchange program?
And it's for work in Japan...
Zhou Hongyu raised an eyebrow slightly. Second Sister isn't afraid of being scolded to death by Mom!
Zhou Liangyu angrily pointed at Tian Xiaoman, who was sitting next to Zhou Hongyu.
"Of course I knew Mom would be angry! It's all because of this debt collector!"
