Chapter 129 You can't name something like that!
What Lao Gao thought was none of Aunt Ruan's concern.
Since deciding to open a milk tea shop, Yan Sui has been advising her to change her approach.
The video account cannot stop updating; it must continue to post.
Not only should you post, but you should post frequently and make sure your posts are engaging.
"From now on, I'll start with this: Welcome to a day in the life of a 56-year-old divorced woman who opens a bubble tea shop!"
Yan Sui clapped her hands, feeling like she was a genius.
"This is a good start. When people hear that you're so old and still divorced, they'll definitely be curious."
Aunt Ruan: "...It's not something to be proud of."
“Weddings are something to celebrate, so why is divorce something to be ashamed of? Aren’t we all striving for happiness?” Old Mrs. Zhao chimed in. “I think this is a great start!”
She'll create an account later, starting with "Welcome everyone to watch a 60-year-old woman's day of getting divorced and opening a bed and breakfast."
Chen Aihua clicked her tongue, "That won't do. People will think our Changqing Village is a village of widows."
Grandma Zhao had a sudden inspiration, "What widow village? Divorce isn't the same as widowhood... Hey, widowhood isn't bad either! It's settled then, Ruan Xiuhua, you use divorce, and I'll use widowhood, how about that? We sound like sisters!"
Aunt Ruan said speechlessly, "Your ex-husband didn't die either."
“You’re so out of touch. People online say that a good ex should be practically dead. I’ll just pretend he’s dead.”
The more Zhao Laotai talked, the more excited she became, as if she wanted to stab her ex-husband with a knife right now.
As Aunt Ruan was struggling with her decision, she suddenly heard Ruan Wenze speak up: "Miss Yan, this is a good idea. If you want people to pay attention, you need to have a gimmick."
The combination of middle-aged woman, divorce, and opening a bubble tea shop creates a strong contrast, which is what makes it so appealing.
"Auntie, you can use my equipment to record first, and I'll teach you how to edit it later."
Ruan Wenze recently took over the project from Zhao Laotai's family, and he will be staying in Changqing Village for a while.
Seeing that someone was helping her, Yan Sui said no more and got up to take her leave.
Chen Aihua quickly followed and took her arm.
"Old Shi's eldest brother and his family are back today. Would you like to go and see them, and maybe discuss some local matters?"
"want!"
As far as Yan Sui knew, Brother Shi Laoliu was not very keen on contracting out the land.
He has a stable job with a decent income and isn't short of money.
But Chen Aihua said that as long as Shi Laoliu wanted to sell the land, the cooperation would definitely be successful.
Old Master Shi only had one daughter, and he regretted not having a son, so his most precious possession was the big, fat boy from Old Master Shi's family.
She dotes on and values her nephew more than her own daughter.
Boss Shi will support whatever Lao Liu wants to do.
Yan Sui asked, "They only have two brothers, so how come Shi Laoliu is the sixth child?"
"He has many older sisters; Shi Laoliu has four older sisters."
Yan Sui suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
As they were talking, the two arrived at Shi Laoliu's house.
A rather large boy came running towards us.
Chen Aihua introduced with a smile: "This is your sixth uncle's son, Haochi."
Yan Sui: "...Who came up with this name?"
"Hey, he has an uncle who works in the government and holds a pretty high position. He's the one who named all the Shi family's children."
Yan Sui's expression was indescribable. "You can't name someone like that."
Haochi is a good name, but Shi Haochi sounds a bit awful.
Chen Aihua waved her hand, saying, "This is nothing."
"Let's go in first."
As soon as Yan Sui entered the room, the people sitting there began to scrutinize her.
Shi Laoliu greeted Yan Sui with a smile, "You've come at the right time, let's settle the land matters."
Old Master Shi frowned. "Sixth Brother, I still think this place should be kept."
"Brother! Didn't we make things clear on the phone before? Why are you going back on your word again?" Old Shi said discontentedly.
"It's not like we're short of money..."
"Tsk, how come you're not short of money? Haochi just finished the college entrance exam. With his grades, he definitely won't get into university. I'm planning to send him abroad to study."
Yan Sui didn't interrupt, but sat quietly to the side and listened.
She keenly noticed that the girl sitting next to Boss Shi had furrowed her brows and looked uneasy.
If she guessed correctly, this girl should be Boss Shi's only daughter.
Yan Sui didn't even need to say a word; Shi Laoliu's words were enough to convince his elder brother.
The land contract was quickly settled, and Yan Sui made an appointment with them to come and sign the contract the next day before getting up to say goodbye.
Old Shi was very hospitable and invited her to stay for lunch.
Before Yan Sui could refuse, Chen Aihua smiled and agreed.
Chen Aihua whispered in her ear, "Shi Laoliu is a very proud man, and he's also very stingy. Just give him face and have a meal with him."
He would definitely be angry if Yan Sui refused.
During the meal, you could basically only hear Shi Laoliu's voice.
He already had a loud voice, and now that he's drunk, his voice is so loud it could pierce the roof.
Yan Sui buried her head in her food, only occasionally responding with a few words.
Shi Laoliu found talking to her pointless and turned to talk to his older brother.
"Big brother, look at our Haochi. He's fair-skinned, chubby, tall, and strong. He's so good-looking."
Boss Shi nodded repeatedly, watching Shi Haochi bury his head in gnawing on a big bone, and smiled with pride.
"Yes, being able to eat is a blessing. Look how tall Haochi is. We don't have any children that tall in our family."
His daughter rolled her eyes. "He's 168cm, I'm 172cm, I'm taller than him, thank you."
Old Master Shi glared at her with displeasure. "You're a girl, how can you compare to him? Hao Chi is a few years younger than you, and he'll still grow taller."
As Shi Laoliu was talking, he grabbed his elder brother and started crying.
"Haochi is our only son. He's not as smart as Tiantian, and he doesn't do well in school. I don't expect him to go to university. I just hope to send him abroad to study for two years so he can come back and find a good job!"
Old Master Shi sighed deeply; he must have been hoping his younger generation would succeed.
But that's just how Shi Haochi studies; his grades just won't improve, which shows he has no talent.
"My brother completely understands how you feel, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to lease out the family property."
Shi Laoliu gripped his hand tightly, "But it's not enough, brother! The money from just this contract isn't enough for Haochi's studies abroad. I'll have to borrow some more from you."
Sweetie scoffed, "What do you mean by 'borrow'? Sixth Uncle, you've borrowed so much money from my family before, when have you ever paid it back?"
Shi Laoliu was embarrassed when a junior like her exposed him to his face, and his face turned black.
Fortunately, Boss Shi reprimanded her: "Sweetie, how dare you talk to your sixth uncle like that! We're family, there's no need to be so calculating! Apologize to your sixth uncle right now!"
Old Shi waved his hands repeatedly, "No need, I know that Tian Tian is a girl who grew up in the city and looks down on us country folk. Blame me for being useless and delaying Hao Chi. He is the only son of our Shi family. I will do anything to support him."
He covered his eyes, looking deeply saddened.
Sweetie looked disdainful; his acting skills could only fool her own father.
Old Master Shi patted him on the shoulder, "What nonsense are you talking about? Haochi is the root of our Shi family, and supporting his education is our top priority! Don't worry, I'll cover Haochi's tuition for studying abroad!"
