"Congratulations, Brother Chao, you can finally live the life you wanted."

A bunch of friends complimented him. Jiang Chao gulped down a big gulp of wine and boasted to them with great pleasure, "What's the big deal? That bitch doesn't know what's good for her. She went out to do some small business and really thought she had great abilities. She dared to go against me. I wonder how she will live in the future!"

Nowadays, it is neither nice nor pleasant to talk about a divorced woman. People in the surrounding area stay away from such people. Jiang Chao even feels that without his Liu Chunhua, he might have trouble getting enough food.

"Look at you, you're just busy drinking and don't even mention the snacks are gone. Here are some freshly fried peanuts, try them while they're hot." Widow Zhang came in with a plate. Her graceful figure and considerate demeanor immediately attracted teasing from the men present.

"Oh, our sister-in-law Zhang is so considerate. No wonder Brother Chao loves you so much. Now that Liu Chunhua is gone, shouldn't sister-in-law Zhang be promoted to a permanent employee?"

"Turn around, you have to turn around." Jiang Chao was a little drunk, so he pulled Zhang Tieying over and kissed her in front of everyone, and said to everyone, "Look, this is your new sister-in-law, say hello to her."

These people were eating and drinking for free and there was something fun to watch, so they were naturally happy to cooperate. They shouted at the top of their lungs, their voices louder than the sky, "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Zhang Tieying smiled shyly when she was called, but she leaned closer to Jiang Chao suspiciously, "You bastard, you are talking nonsense when you haven't given me a name yet. Where is the gold locket you promised to give me? If you don't have it, I won't agree."

"Yes, who said there isn't? Isn't it right here?" Jiang Chao was even more confused by her soft and warm touch. He took out the gold lock from his arms and put it in front of her, and touched her face. "Little fairy, take it. It's your betrothal gift."

"Thank you, you are so nice!" Widow Zhang smiled and immediately put the gold lock away. Her friends beside her started to make a fuss when they saw this.

"Brother Chao is awesome, the first move he made was the Golden Lock."

"That's right. A man as generous as my brother Chao is a real man. Sister-in-law, you have to be nice to our brother Chao."

"Don't worry, I will treat him better than I treat myself." Widow Zhang smiled coquettishly and drank two more glasses of wine with him before she had time to come out. As soon as she went out, a small hand pulled her sleeve.

"mother!"

"Oh, you want to scare me to death!" Zhang Tieying rolled her eyes at Feng Chuchu when she saw her. Feng Chuchu was not angry either. She stared at her hand with her eyes and said, "Mom, did you get the golden locket? Let me see it quickly. I didn't see enough last time."

"You still have the nerve to say that last time, if you hadn't shown off this gold locket, it would have been mine long ago. Why would I have to go through so much trouble?"

"Hehe, doesn't this show that my mother is powerful? She can even take back things that have been taken away." Feng Chuchu flattered him, and Zhang Tieying really enjoyed it. He loosened his hand and the golden lock fell in front of Feng Chuchu's eyes. "Okay, take it and have a look. But if you lose it again this time, I'll skin you alive!"

"Don't worry, mother. That bitch Liu Chunhua is not here. No one will come."

After getting the golden lock, Feng Chuchu slipped back to her room. She carefully opened the golden lock and carefully touched the word "Huo" carved inside under the light.

"That's great! It would be great if I could also meet such a rich man."

Her small eyes were filled with greed. Feng Chuchu pressed the golden lock tightly against her chest as if possessed by a demon. She even imagined herself soaring to the sky in the future.

I must, must change my life!

"Food, food, food."

In the small courtyard, Jiang Ruyi was walking along beside Liu Chunhua. The aroma of rice coming from the kitchen made her drool.

"The meal is not ready yet, don't disturb mother. Brother will take you to play." Jiang Ruyi was suddenly picked up by someone. She glared at the culprit with dissatisfaction, but Jiang Zhize was just looking down at the road and didn't notice her expression at all.

Only when they were outside the house did Jiang Zhize put her down and took out half a biscuit from his pocket.

Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but sigh. These pastries were bought by Liu Chunhua when she had money. At that time, they were afraid that Jiang Chao would become suspicious, so they didn't dare to buy more. Now there are only these few left.

"Eat, I'll give it all to you." Jiang Zhize broke the biscuit into pieces bit by bit and fed them into Jiang Ruyi's mouth. He looked like a good brother.

Jiang Ruyi wanted to sigh again. Even Jiang Zhize had changed a lot, but her and Liu Chunhua's situation had not made much progress. Just as she was distracted, Jiang Zhize suddenly spoke, "Little sister, can you understand what I'm saying?"

Jiang Ruyi glanced at him dimly, not knowing what this guy was up to. But this glance seemed to give Jiang Zhize the answer, and he became excited. "I said that my little sister is smart and doesn't look like an ordinary person. I want to ask you, is mom short of money now?"

Nonsense, the family doesn’t even buy meat now, doesn’t this prove a problem?

"Actually, I know someone who can help."

"water?"

Jiang Zhize said embarrassedly, "The owner of the grain and oil store on Main Street, Luo, wants to lend us money."

Jiang Ruyi was shocked. Why was it him?

Jiang Zhize explained, "I went out for a walk at noon, and was called by Manager Luo. He asked us if we had moved here, and said that we could always contact him if we had any difficulties. But I was not familiar with him, so I didn't dare to ask directly."

Jiang Ruyi's small facial features were slightly wrinkled. Although Shopkeeper Luo had some friendship with them, it was far from the extent that he could lend them money for free. He probably did this because of Huo Yuli, right?

"No, we can't take his money." Liu Chunhua came out at some point. She overheard Jiang Ruyi's speculation. She was already afraid of the young master of the Huo family, and now Liu Chunhua didn't want to get too involved.

"Mom will figure out the money issue herself, so stop worrying about it. Come in quickly, wash your hands and eat."

“I got it…” Jiang Zhize quickly lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong, until Liu Chunhua put a piece of tofu into his bowl, then he smiled again.

After the meal, Liu Chunhua and Jiang Ruyi chatted, "The vegetable business is still going on, and we can make seven or eight yuan a week. If we make a few more trips, our capital will come out."

[The question is, can the workers wait?] Jiang Ruyi did the math. If everything was ready, the startup capital for opening a store would be at least a hundred yuan. The vegetable business could only be done once a week, so it would take at least three months to save up that much money. And they still had to spend money during these three months, so it might take four or five months. It was absolutely impossible for the workers to wait that long.
