Chapter 444
It was so busy all morning today, and it was not until after nine in the morning that the number of customers decreased a little.
Just when Ye Fuyue and the others were about to breathe a sigh of relief, people from the compound arrived.
"Guifeng, I heard that your daughter-in-law opened a bun shop. Let's come and take a look." The aunt who spoke had a bright smile on her face.
Ye Fuyue knew her. Her last name was Tao. She came with Aunt Tao, Aunt Qian, Aunt Fan and the others.
Ye Fuyue is more familiar with Aunt Qian and Aunt Fan, but not so familiar with Aunt Tao.
Chen Guifeng saw five or six aunts coming and came over to greet them.
She said with a smile, "Welcome, welcome. Take your pick of what you want to eat. Today, everything you buy is 10% off."
Aunt Fan smiled and replied, "Okay."
Aunt Tao said, "We've been neighbors for decades, living together in this compound. You give a 10% discount to customers you don't know, but you only give us, your old neighbors, a 10% discount?"
Chen Guifeng did not answer in a hurry, but looked at Ye Fuyue.
Ye Fuyue smiled and said, "Aunt, what you said makes sense. Then let's give everyone in our compound a 20% discount."
Aunt Qian and the others all laughed, and Aunt Tao also showed a satisfied smile on her face, with a hint of complacency in her smile.
Aunt Qian looked at the menu on the wall and said, "You have a wide variety of food here! Fuyue, can you recommend some of the best-selling and most delicious ones?"
Ye Fuyue then recommended it to them.
"You can sit down and eat here," said Aunt Fan.
"Yes." Ye Fuyue nodded.
So the aunts each ordered a bun and a bowl of sweet water and sat down at an empty seat in the store.
Aunt Qian looked at the busy Zhong Lan and Cui Li and asked Ye Fuyue, "Have they been following you?"
"Yes." Ye Fuyue responded.
"It seems that they are doing a good job. Their complexions are different from before. They look much better than when they were in the slum." Aunt Qian said.
"Indeed." Ye Fuyue told the truth.
Aunt Tao kept staring at Shen Yao who was washing the dishes. When she found out that the person washing the dishes was really Shen Yao, she said to Ye Fuyue in surprise: "I thought I recognized the wrong person. The one washing the dishes over there is Shen Yao."
"Yes." Ye Fuyue said.
Aunt Qian and Aunt Fan both smiled with satisfaction.
Aunt Fan said: "Chen Yao is a really good person, and he can help you."
"Yes." Aunt Qian said, "My old man has never even been to the kitchen, let alone helping me."
Aunt Tao said nonchalantly, "Men are the ones who work outside to earn money and support the family. Naturally, they won't be confined to the kitchen like women."
Aunt Tao's words left Aunt Qian and Aunt Fan speechless. They both looked at Ye Fuyue, paying attention to her reaction.
Ye Fuyue knew that Aunt Tao's words were innuendos, but this was in her own shop after all, and today was the first day of the shop's opening. She didn't want to make things unpleasant, so she just looked indifferent, without any reaction or words.
Aunt Tao glanced at Ye Fuyue. Seeing that Ye Fuyue didn't respond, she continued, "Although Fuyue and Shen Yao are both college students, Fuyue opened a bun shop. Business seems to be good, so she should be making a lot of money. Since Shen Yao went to college, his job at the factory has stopped and his salary has also stopped. The family's income depends entirely on Fuyue, a woman."
Ye Fuyue's expression turned cold.
She didn't like to hear this. Aunt Tao's words were just a hint that Shen Yao was a gigolo.
Ye Fuyue was about to speak, but Shen Yao spoke first.
"My wife is indeed more capable than me. I can only rely on her for support now. Of course, I have to share more of the burden with her and do more work."
Aunt Qian tried to smooth things over, saying, "Well, we're a family. Who's relying on whom for support? No matter who's making the money, it's all for the good of our little family."
"Yes." Aunt Fan nodded in agreement. "You are both college students. Even if you don't have much money now, are you still worried that you won't be able to get a good job and earn money after graduation? Before going to college, Chen Yao's job at a factory was enough to cover the expenses of the family. Now that he is in college, Fu Yue runs a bun shop in addition to his studies to maintain the family's expenses. When they both graduate from college and have jobs and salaries, their little family will only get better and better. There is no point in worrying about who depends on whom for support now."
"Aunt, you've spoken my mind." Ye Fuyue smiled at Aunt Fan and said, "Some people can't even sort out their own family affairs, yet they love to meddle in other people's affairs. They're so bored."
Aunt Tao's face immediately turned ugly. She wanted to get angry, but when she thought about the fact that she was the one who started the trouble and no one was on her side, she could only endure it.
She quickly finished her buns and tofu pudding and said sullenly, "I suddenly remembered something else. I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, she left.
Ye Fuyue, Aunt Qian and Aunt Fan looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Aunt Qian and Aunt Fan had nothing to do, so they were not in a hurry to leave. They leisurely ate buns and drank sweet water.
"Guifeng, I really envy you. Your daughter-in-law is amazing. She is a good student and good at making money. She is also very kind to you. You are so blessed." Aunt Qian said sincerely.
"Your Qian Qiang is not bad either. Didn't you tell me that Qian Qiang is dating a girl from their school? Qian Qiang is a good boy, and the girl he likes must be not bad. Your good fortune is still to come." Chen Guifeng said.
Chen Guifeng's words touched Aunt Qian's heart. Aunt Qian felt very comfortable listening to them, and the smile on her face grew wider.
"I'm the one who really envy you guys." Aunt Fan took a sip of peanut butter and said, "Your Qian Qiang, your Fu Yue, and your Shen Yao have all been admitted to university and are just waiting to be assigned jobs after graduation. My Fan Hua will be taking the college entrance exam soon, and with his usual grades, I'm not sure if he'll make it."
"You forgot that my Chen Shun is the same age as your Fan Hua, and he will also take the college entrance examination soon." Chen Guifeng said.
"Your family is better off than mine. If Shen Shun fails the exam, you can still find a way out for him. If Fan Hua fails the exam, I don't know what to do." Aunt Fan said sincerely.
Chen Guifeng said, "What future can I offer him? He's just a nobody. If he really doesn't pass the exam, I'll be worried too."
Chen Guifeng continued, "You said that Shen Shun and Fan Hua have been playing together since they were young. Why don't they encourage each other to improve their academic performance?"
Aunt Fan gave a helpless smile: "They are just urging each other to have fun."
After saying this, Aunt Fan and Chen Guifeng sighed in unison.
Shen Shun is taking the college entrance examination this year, and there are less than three weeks left until the exam.
In order to let him review well, Chen Guifeng did not even let him come to help when Xiaoyue Baozi Shop opened, but let him do the test papers at home.
