Zhao Minghui prepared a broom for sweeping the yard and placed it at the entrance of the shop. If those two came to cause trouble again, he would use this broom to drive them away.
Boss Xia wouldn't allow them to knock out their front teeth, but a broom wouldn't hurt them, though it would be satisfying.
He waited at the store all day, but the two people didn't show up. Finally, he called three other stores, and they all said they hadn't seen the two people either.
Zhao Minghui breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, but these two people seemed to be used to being arrogant and domineering. Would they give up so easily?
Xia Enruo had no interest in Zhao Baozhu and Wang Yue'e at all.
She got up early, cooked at the shop, and then went to find Mao Xiangling. The two had previously arranged to visit Mao Xiangling's mother at her home.
Two days ago, Gu Shaoxuan went home and specifically told her about Yuan Qiang, hoping that Xia Enruo could think of a way to help the two of them.
Xia Enruo really couldn't figure out how to solve this problem. After all, in her previous life, she only cared about making money and had never been in a relationship. She was really not good at matters of the heart.
Mao Xiangling had prepared early and was waiting for Xia Enruo at the school gate.
Since Jiang Ting left, her university life has been incredibly comfortable.
Without Jiang Ting stirring up trouble, the relationships between the roommates in the dormitory became more harmonious.
Now she is doing well in everything – studying, eating, sleeping – and she has also won the top scholarship in the entire grade.
Even her teachers said that a student with her potential would be directly recommended for postgraduate studies after graduation.
Being recommended for postgraduate studies was undoubtedly a great joy for Mao Xiangling. In those days, undergraduates were extremely rare, and postgraduates were even more so, often referred to as highly educated intellectuals.
After graduating, you can even become a teacher at a university, which gives you another option for employment.
"Sister Enruo, she's here!"
Mao Xiangling greeted Xia Enruo as she walked over from afar.
This was the first time Xia Enruo had ever suggested going home with him to visit her mother.
A while ago, the relationship between the mother and daughter became very unfriendly because of her relationship with Yuan Qiang, and even dropped to a freezing point.
Things have eased up a bit these past two days because Mao Xiangling lied to her mother that she had broken up with Yuan Qiang and was no longer in contact with him, but in reality, how could she bear to do that?
"Xiangling, you didn't wait for me too long, did you?"
"Sister Enruo, I just came out too. Why didn't your husband come with you today? Does he feel comfortable letting you go out by yourself?"
Ever since Xia Enruo became pregnant, Gu Shaoxuan has been accompanying and protecting her wherever she goes, and everyone around them knows this.
Even Mao Xiangling was envious and often told Yuan Qiang that he should learn from Chief of Staff Gu.
Yuan Qiang was exasperated. This old Gu was trying to steal the spotlight. He could learn from military training, but now he had to learn from dating too.
“He was all set to come along early on, but I refused and arranged for him to clean the house. Today, the two of us are going to see your aunt, mainly to think of a way to resolve your issues with Yuan Qiang. If he comes along, he will only get in the way.”
"Since my brother-in-law isn't here today, I'll be his protector. How did the hospital check-up go?"
"It went smoothly, nothing serious. The doctor said I need to take folic acid for a few months."
"That's normal. Generally, you should start taking it when you're planning to get pregnant. It's not too late for you to start now."
"Xiangling, is there a fruit stand near your house? I got some milk powder and peach shortbread from the store for your aunt, and I was thinking of buying some fruit as well. If there isn't one, I'll have to buy some near the school in advance."
It wouldn't do to be impolite on your first visit to Mao Xiangling's house. Before leaving, Xia Enruo went to the supermarket on the second floor to pick up some gifts, but she still felt that it was not enough.
I don't have fresh produce in my own store yet, so I can only buy some fruit to go out and have some with me. After all, I've eaten a lot of dried fruit that Xiangling's mother makes.
"Sis, you don't need to buy any more. You've already brought enough. My mom is so happy to know you went today, and she's been asking me to bring you home so she can meet you. Bringing so much stuff is too much of a formality."
"Xiangling, you still need to know manners. Besides, don't forget our main business. We mainly want to find out from your mother why she doesn't like Yuan Qiang and resolve this issue. Do you understand? Maybe when your aunt sees that I brought a lot of things, she will be happy and open her heart to me and tell me everything."
Xia Enruo and Mao Xiangling have a very good relationship, so she is not worried that Mao Xiangling will be angry if she says this.
"Sister Enruo, for the sake of my life's most important event, why don't you just take over Grandpa Li's entire fruit stand?"
“No problem, as long as my sister can get married, I’ll have Uncle Li sell fruit in front of your house so your aunt can eat it for free every day.”
What's wrong with Xiangling? She's head over heels in love with Yuan Qiang? She's thinking about marrying him right away?
Mao Xiangling's face turned as red as an apple as she said shyly:
"Sister Enruo, I'm embarrassed by what you've said. I'm not in such a hurry."
"You may not be anxious, but someone else is. That person is so anxious that he looks worried every day in the army!"
"Let him be anxious for a while. He must have offended my mother somehow."
The two bought two large bags of various fruits from Old Li's fruit stand. Since Xia Enruo knew the stall owner before, everyone couldn't help but greet her a few more times when they saw her.
"Xia, yesterday a middle-aged couple waited for you here all afternoon, saying they were your uncle and aunt. In the end, I told them you weren't here anymore, that you'd opened your shop!"
Old Li kindly told Xia Enruo what had happened yesterday, "They even bought two jin of oranges from my stall. Look, the orange peels are still lying on the ground!"
After listening to Old Li's words, Xia Enruo finally understood how Zhang Baozhu and Wang Yue'e had found her shop.
Before Zhang Guohong went to prison, he hadn't opened his shop yet, so none of them should have known the location of the shop. It turned out that Old Li had told him.
"Thank you, Uncle Li!"
Xia Enruo and Mao Xiangling were sitting on the bus when Mao Xiangling, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly asked a question.
"Sis, didn't Uncle Li just say that your uncle and aunt are here? Don't you need to stay with them today?"
Mao Xiangling felt a pang of guilt. Enruo's relatives had finally come over, but she had taken up her entire day.
"Xiangling, they are not my uncle and aunt, they are two vampires, no, a family of vampires."
Mao Xiangling's eyes widened. A vampire? How could it be a vampire? She had only ever seen that name in foreign novels in the school library.
"Sister Enruo, why did you become a vampire?"
Xia Enruo recounted the original owner's experiences along the way, even telling Mao Xiangling what happened in the store yesterday.
After telling the story, Xia Enruo turned to Xiangling and asked her a question.
"Xiangling, do you think they are vampires?"
Mao Xiangling was so angry that her back ached. She had never heard such a melodramatic story in her life; it was truly a once-in-a-millennium event.
"Sister, they're not just vampires, they're parasites. My God, how can there be such shameless people in this world? Don't they feel any shame saying those things?"
"I've never heard of this before in my life! I've never seen anything like it in my lifetime!"
