Chapter 52: The landlord is looking for a place to return the house (Part 2)
Shi Qingqing remembered that from the moment she met Zhao Meilan, she had been interested in finding someone from outside the city.
Compared with the southern part of Fujian, the economy in the north is not so good.
The south is close to the sea, and with the impetus of maritime merchants and foreign investment, as well as the large number of opportunities that can be taken advantage of by Guangdong Province's takeoff, the economy is better than that of the north. Therefore, even though Zhao Fengnian is also a native of the province, he is still regarded as an outsider.
But for the northern girls, marrying into the economically better southern region is a goal for more ambitious girls.
Zhao Meilan's appearance was indeed considered good in their area, and when she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, people started coming to propose marriage to her.
However, after a few years of selection, Zhao Meilan's reputation for being discerning spread, and the popularity gradually faded, so she became more eager to marry someone from another place.
To sum up the above, when Zhao Meilan talks about looking for a man from another place, she doesn't mean just any man. She must have her own standards. Things like crooked eyes and a slanted mouth are definitely not Zhao Meilan's standards for choosing a partner.
Could it be that the eldest uncle and his wife dared to manipulate my sister's marriage in exchange for benefits when they went away? ?
But Zhao Meilan cried for a while, and after the words she said were embellished, Shi Qingqing also heard the core of it.
First of all, there was this ugly-looking man who wanted to marry her and pursued her for a few days.
Secondly, she spent other people’s money, spending more than 600 yuan for just one week of meeting them.
In the end, Zhao Meilan regretted it, but she couldn't come up with more than 600 yuan. Her elder brother, sister-in-law, sister and brother-in-law all asked her to pay the money back herself and not to make trouble in the rental house.
Shi Qingqing didn't know what to say.
If you don't accept it, how dare you spend more than 600 yuan?
Although factory wages in the past two years have increased by dozens or even hundreds of dollars compared to previous years, there are still few factories that directly offer a salary of 600 yuan.
A complete novice like Zhao Meilan can only save a few months’ worth of money no matter where she goes, and dares to spend it within a week…
Shi Qingqing did not judge, but just sighed and said that since he had done it, he should bear the consequences himself.
Zhao Meilan cried for a while, and seeing that Shi Qingqing was indifferent, she gritted her teeth and said, "Sister-in-law, I know I was ignorant before and asked you for clothes and shoes, but that was also caused by poverty..."
Shi Qingqing became alert, thinking that this tone might have other intentions.
She pointed directly at the door. "There's no point in saying more. You've done more than that. If you want to have some family affection in the future, don't say anything that shouldn't be said."
This statement has already made it clear to the other party that some things don't need to be said and she won't care.
Zhao Meilan can't care about so many things.
The only one who can help her now is Zhao Fengnian: "I won't cause you any trouble. I'll go find my brother. Tell me where my brother is now, and I will definitely not bother you."
Shi Qingqing was amused: "He is my husband, and we are on the same household registration book. Who are you? If you get into trouble, let him take care of it. Six hundred yuan? I won't even give you sixty yuan.
He works and everyone can only get paid after the project payment is settled. I go out to catch seafood every day to earn some money to live. How dare you go to him?
Even if you look for him, there is no money. Go away. You didn't think about others when you were enjoying yourself. Now that something has happened, stop talking nonsense. Go away."
Zhao Meilan's face turned red after being scolded by Shi Qingqing, and she cried even harder.
However, her crying was more like howling, and she kicked the table and chairs. She was about to kick Shi Qingqing's packed luggage, but was pulled away by Shi Qingqing.
"You hit me? You don't help me and you hit me? I tell you, don't even think about running away. I'm staying here today! Unless you——"
"Get out of here, idiot!" Shi Qingqing had lost her patience and pushed the man out with force.
Her hand strength had been greatly trained recently, and she was able to push Zhao Meilan, who had to do farm work for several months a year, back step by step.
The courtyard door was locked, and Zhao Meilan was still deliberately saying, "Sister-in-law, please, I just want to find my brother."
Shi Qingqing said through a door: "My own sister was sent to the police station for causing trouble some time ago. If you are not afraid of leaving a record, then continue to cause trouble!"
Zhao Meilan suddenly fell silent as if something was stuck in her throat.
I had to hold back the words I had planned to say, and my face was turning purple.
But if she doesn't bother Zhao Fengnian and his wife, she has no one else to help.
As the night deepened, Zhao Meilan wandered on the road.
A Santana slowly approached Zhao Meilan.
…
The next day, Shi Qingqing had breakfast outside.
When Sister Xu came back from the vegetable market and saw Shi Qingqing at home, she ran over without even putting down her things.
In fact, she was quite reluctant to part with Shi Qingqing. This girl was very obedient and never took advantage of others. She would always find a way to give back what she got from others.
Sister Xu thinks it would be difficult to find such a neighbor again.
Shi Qingqing also felt that Sister Xu was a good neighbor, and it was a pity that they had lost contact.
A few rooster crows were heard, and Shi Qingqing's eyes suddenly lit up: "Sister, I'm going to live with my husband, but I still have some inventory. If you sell well, I will supply you with it. You can set up a stall occasionally and earn a few dozen yuan a month, which is enough for meat and rice."
Sister Xu also knew that Shi Qingqing had set up a stall several times and the food had indeed improved since then, so she couldn't help but be tempted.
When she heard that Shi Qingqing was giving her almost wholesale price and would not clear out the stock at once, she immediately started discussing the quantity.
Shi Qingqing used two hundred points to buy some candies, eggs, sunflower seeds, etc., and exchanged them for five hundred yuan from Sister Xu.
Shi Qingqing pretended to go out to pick up the goods, and the cart was put to work temporarily, pulling back two carts of things.
Sister Xu quickly opened the door of her house and piled all the things in the house.
Shi Qingqing said, "I might come back next month to take a look. If Sister Xu's business is doing well, we can work together to sell some New Year goods, such as Spring Festival couplets and candies."
"Okay! These are enough for me to sell slowly over a month or so." Sister Xu felt happy.
The rent that Shi Qingqing had just spent was almost recovered immediately.
She went to find the landlord, and the landlord came to inspect the house. Not only was there no problem at all, but some of the bad places had been filled up. Shi Qingqing also did a great job of cleaning, so the next tenant could move in directly.
If Shi Qingqing hadn't been in trouble and the landlord hadn't been worried that his house would also be in trouble, he really wanted to continue renting the house to Shi Qingqing.
He is a local and he takes good care of the house.
In this way, he would feel at ease when people lived in his house.
When returning the deposit and the twenty days' rent to Shi Qingqing, the landlord couldn't help but say that young people should not act on impulse and should avoid touching dirty things.
"I heard that you had an argument with the management at the vegetable market. People with a little power value their reputation the most. You should be more careful in the future and don't have such a bad temper."
Shi Qingqing thanked him, but there was no need to explain to others what she was thinking clearly.
Shi Qingqing handed in the keys and pushed the cart to her uncle's house.
