Chapter 125: Heat's Small Business (Part 2)
After experiencing two such acts of filial piety, Shi Ma realized that her little daughter's "heart of stone" was genuine and not just a pretense.
Could it be that this little daughter intends to treat her mother like this for the next twenty years?
This is too much of a grudge.
Looking at the granddaughter who only wants to eat beside my legs, and the one in the bedroom...
It hasn’t even been a year since my eldest daughter was in there, but she already feels like she can’t hold on any longer.
She didn't dare tell the cadres that the 3,600 yuan and part of her savings were invested in a club, which then collapsed and the people ran away. Now she is relying solely on her savings to survive.
Fortunately, I have land to grow crops, so I don’t have to worry about having no vegetables to eat before winter.
But in this new society, she still has to make some dried and pickled vegetables to ensure she has no money to buy vegetables during the winter... It makes my scalp tingle just thinking about it.
She tried to show some kindness to her younger daughter, such as blowing on the water when pouring it for her.
I remember that Shi Qingqing used to be very fond of this...but this time, Shi Qingqing didn't even touch it, nor did she let her husband from another city drink it.
"We have to think of another way. We can't just go on like this."
In the eyes of Shi Qingqing, who was already heartbroken and taught enough lessons, Shi Ma's behavior seemed vulnerable.
She didn't have much time to think about her parents' home anymore. After all, her real life was very fulfilling and even a little busy.
Fortunately, Zhao Fengnian is always there. Apart from daily eating and drinking, he will do any household chores when he sees them.
Compared to years ago when he would not take the initiative to clean up the trash can when it was full, now Zhao Fengnian will put the seasoning bottles in order when he sees them in a mess.
Shi Qingqing also changed from being a meddler to being a hands-off person, and gave more trust to the boss.
As their days got better and better, they both unknowingly unloaded their burdens.
It also improved the minor ailments I had.
My cousin's smoked goose gradually gained a good reputation, and the demand in the town grew, and even restaurants in the city came to order it.
Zhao Fengnian drove the tricycle around town and city, earning more and more commission.
At the end of August, the gambler Xiao Qi approached Shi Qingqing again.
This time he didn't dare to do anything tricky and just sold his father's boat honestly at a low price.
Shi Qingqing said that there are only two people in her family, so why should she have two boats?
Xiao Qi swore and said that he would work hard in the future.
Shi Qingqing didn't understand.
"Then, you buy the boat first and rent it to me~"
Huh? When Shi Qingqing heard Xiao Qi's words, she wondered how a person could be so shameless.
I think she got lucky when she used that boat, just cut it off.
Since he didn't make any money driving the boat, he thought of following her and wanting to find out her connections and restaurants instead.
Later, he threatened people and called the police falsely.
Now he wants her to pay for the boat for him?
What are you thinking about? You are really sick.
Shi Qingqing didn't let anyone in in the first place, and now she directly called for help.
Zhao Fengnian was already ready to go, watching closely from the side.
Hearing his wife's signal, he rolled up his sleeves and came over. "Why don't you get out of here? Are you looking for a fight?"
The debt collector will beat you, and so will I!
Xiao Qi backed away again and again, still shouting a very low price.
But Shi Qingqing already has a boat, so she doesn’t need to consider it at all and won’t be affected by the price.
Later, Zhao Fengnian said that he had met several young people who he often met recently because he was out looking for new sales channels for the smoked goose.
With just a few packs of cigarettes and 50 yuan per person as reward, blocking someone is not a problem.
Shi Qingqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's do it the next time he offends us. This method has certain risks, so we should not use it if we can."
If this isn't what a gangster thug should do, then what else could it be?
As long as Xiao Qi doesn't offend her or do anything excessive again, Shi Qingqing doesn't think there is any point in making close friends with them.
"You're out there... don't get too close to people like this unless necessary."
"Of course I know. It's just that there's a little brother here who's a good guy. He's not a bad guy to the core. I kind of want to help him make some stable money."
Shi Qingqing and Zhao Fengnian have been married for less than a year, and this is not the first time she has heard Zhao Fengnian talk about someone of his age whom he admires.
But Shi Qingqing knew clearly what scum those "bad friends" were.
Didn’t he have a fight with his so-called friend when he woke up from the dream?
So Shi Qingqing pulled Zhao Fengnian to sit down and slowly listen to what this person was about.
"That time, someone he knew organized a tire blowout, and I was the unlucky one implicated. I was a little anxious and didn't care that there was still some oil stains from the smoked goose on my hand, which rubbed on my eyelids. It was probably like crying. The little brother came to ask me why I was crying and that I was not injured. I said that I was selling these things for someone, but the car broke down. This time, I didn't get the commission and delayed the business of both the buyer and the seller.
I guess that guy thought I needed to pay compensation, and I couldn’t afford it, so he wanted to lend me his bicycle. A few of his friends came over and wanted to take my smoked goose. I was ready to fight them and make a fool of myself, but the guy stopped them and said I was a brother he knew.
Shi Qingqing narrowed her eyes and said, "Come on, you're just being sloppy? Why are you saying that in such a strange way? You don't want more than one, do you? Zhao Fengnian, I'm telling you, unless it's a dangerous moment, a little money, a little item, is not as valuable as a hair on your body, remember?"
Zhao Fengnian's mind was moved.
This is really pleasant to hear.
"Okay, let's talk about what happened next."
"Later, I didn't use his car because a bus came. He asked me to get on with the smoked goose and said he would come back to get the car in the evening."
Zhao Fengnian was pushed onto the tricycle like this. He was very anxious. How could he hand over the tricycle to these people?
But when he saw the younger brother standing under the car window and watching him with a serious look on his face, he believed it for some reason.
When Shi Qingqing heard that her husband was going to fight, she became anxious. But when she heard that her husband successfully got on the bus and left the tricycle behind, Shi Qingqing remained calm.
This is a good proof of the saying: Those external things are not as important as a single hair of yours.
Zhao Fengnian felt relieved and continued to talk about what happened next. "I came back from delivering the goods and found that the young man was waiting for me at the station. An old woman was pointing and talking in front of him, and her nails were about to poke his forehead.
I was still wondering if it was some unkind elder, but when I got out of the car, the old lady kept apologizing to me, saying that the child was ignorant and had not learned well and had caused me trouble, and that the car tire had been repaired and asked me not to bother with her.
I remember I blurted out that my car broke down and this guy helped me fix it, and I haven’t even paid this guy for the repair yet.”
Zhao Fengnian found it difficult to describe the look in the younger brother's eyes at that time, and the old woman's expression of surprise, heartache and embarrassment.
