"Mr. Jiang, come out here!"
The door of Jiang's house was kicked open by Zhang Tieying. Jiang Chao was eating peanuts with wine. When he saw that it was Zhang Tieying, he immediately jumped up.
"Little ancestor, why are you here?"
"What? You keep saying you want to marry me, but I can't even come to your place?" Zhang Tieying rushed in and sat down at the first seat. Jiang Chao hurriedly smiled at her. "That's not what I meant. Aren't you unhappy to come to my place? What's wrong with you today? Who made you angry?"
"Who else is provoking me? Jiang Chao, are you telling the truth?"
Zhang Tieying angrily recounted the incident, and at the end he pretended to be extremely aggrieved, "You told me that you had no money, and that the gold lock and fifty yuan were all your remaining belongings, but Liu Chunhua was able to open such a big restaurant in town, so you gave all your property to her!"
"How is that possible! Who told you that she opened a restaurant?"
Jiang Chao looked unconvinced, and Feng Chuchu intervened, "Uncle Jiang, everyone in town knows about this, and my mother and I have personally gone to see it, Liu Chunhua is the owner of that restaurant."
"Impossible, this is impossible!" Jiang Chao still didn't believe it. How could Liu Chunhua, an orphan and a widow with her mother, have the money to open a restaurant?
Zhang Tieying couldn't help but mutter when he saw how confused he was. Could it be that he really didn't know about this?
"Tell me the truth, when you two divorced, what did you get from her?"
"What else can we divide? The house is mine, and the money is paid by her. There is nothing valuable in the house except a few rags of clothes!"
Zhang Tieying narrowed his eyes and decided to go all out. "Maybe she has hidden some money that you don't know about. Otherwise, how could she open a restaurant?"
"I don't know either..." Jiang Chao had mixed feelings. No matter where Liu Chunhua got the money, the fact that she opened a restaurant had a big impact on him.
"Look at your sad face. If Liu Chunhua really hid the money, it would be a deliberate lie! If you sue her, she will have to give you half of the money!"
Zhang Tieying had a good idea. If she could really get the money back, wouldn’t she be able to squander it again?
But this time Jiang Chao did not agree to her immediately. Hesitation and struggle flashed across his face. "Isn't this bad? We don't know where the money came from. If I sue rashly, I might end up being a joke. What if the money really has nothing to do with me? How can I live like a human being?"
"What's good or bad? I see you just can't bear to leave! If you don't ask her for money, are you willing to let Chuchu and I live a hard life with you? Don't you still want to marry me? How can you marry me without money?"
Zhang Tieying started to cry and make a scene again, and Feng Chuchu also gave bad advice with red eyes, "Yes, Uncle Jiang, if you don't want to tell her because of our old relationship, then you can go and discuss it with Aunt Liu. After all, you are the biological father of the child. If you are short of money, you can ask her to lend you some money. Can Aunt Liu refuse to lend it to you?"
Jiang Chao was forced into a corner and was a little shaken. He had no money if he didn't go to work, and he had had enough of this difficult life.
"Okay, I'll think of a solution."
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Jiang." Feng Chuchu smiled pitifully. At such a young age, she had already mastered the pitiful side of me.
When he got out of the door, he immediately changed his face and said, "Mom, Uncle Jiang looks like he really didn't spend any money on Liu Chun."
"It doesn't matter whether he gives it or not, as long as I can get the money back, hasn't he already promised to find a way?" Zhang Tieying twisted his buttocks, his mood had turned from gloomy to bright.
Feng Chuchu didn't think so. She rolled her eyes and clearly had nothing good to say. "Mom, aren't you curious about where Liu Chunhua got all this money? I suspect it was given to her by the person who gave her the gold lock last time. Apart from that kind of rich person, who else could have such a great ability?"
"Are you talking about the guy named Huo?" Zhang Tieying had inquired about him during this period and knew that he was the behind-the-scenes boss of the grain and oil store, but he seldom came here and she had no way to contact him.
"You are stupid, mother." Feng Chuchu said, "People can help Liu Chunhua because she is beautiful, but you are no worse than Liu Chunhua! She has given birth to so many children, her figure has changed a lot! Can't my mother be better than her?"
"That's true. I'm definitely much better than her, who is as dead as a fish." Zhang Tieying was very confident in this aspect. Moreover, she heard from Jiang Chao that Liu Chunhua was very rigid in sex and not fun at all, but the man was still interested in it after a while.
"It seems that there is a chance. I need to find a way to contact Mr. Huo. If I can get him to open a store for me, wouldn't that be a huge success for me?"
"That's right! With my mother's help, it will definitely work!"
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Feng Chuchu said a lot of flattering words, and the mother and daughter went home contentedly.
Jiang Ruyi here suddenly sneezed, and her little face wrinkled.
“A-choo!”
"Why are you sneezing again? Did you kick off the quilt last night and get cold?" Liu Chunhua put down her pen and straightened her clothes. Jiang Ruyi shook her head, "I feel like someone is always staring at me."
"What nonsense are you talking about? There is no one there." Liu Chunhua laughed and was about to say that she was overthinking when she heard a familiar voice.
"Sister Liu."
The mother and daughter turned around at the same time, and saw Huo Shu and Huo Yuli appeared behind them at some point, two handsome faces, one big and one small. The big one had a half smile, and the small one... didn't even blink.
[Why is he here again?] Jiang Ruyi complained in her heart, but she still walked over obediently holding Liu Chunhua's hand.
"Why is Boss Huo here?" Liu Chunhua invited him into the private room. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but Huo Shu's smile made her vaguely feel that he had bad intentions.
"I was passing by and came to see you." Huo Shu answered with a low laugh. Liu Chunhua didn't say anything. This town is tens of thousands of miles away from Beijing. No matter how far he passed by, he would not pass by here.
"Boss Huo, just say whatever you want to say. I know you are very busy and you wouldn't come to me if you had nothing to do."
"Since Sister Liu has said so, I will speak frankly." Huo Shu's smile faded, and his bony fingers stroked the edge of the teacup. "I haven't heard Sister Liu say that she plans to open a store before. Why is it so sudden now?"
Liu Chunhua was puzzled. What did it have to do with him whether she opened a shop or not? .....and so on.
She suddenly thought of something, and Jiang Ruyi reminded her in time, "This guy seems to be pointing at you? Could it be that he suspects that we are deliberately trying to steal his business?"
In the previous life, the Huo family's store was the only one here. Without the interference of Jiang Ruyi and Liu Chunhua, they could be as successful as they wanted, and their popularity and profits were the highest in the area.
But now everything has changed. Liu Chunhua's Jin Yumantang has emerged and taken away a large number of customers.
No wonder Huo Shu made a special trip here.
