Gao Baoliang was chopping vegetables in the kitchen when he didn't hear his mother's voice. Yang Lu was stunned when she heard her mother's words.
She put the vegetables she was carrying on the table in the yard, and then she got angry.
"What are you saying? So what if I'm lazy? Did I ask you to do any work? Don't think that just because you're Baoliang's mother, I'll tolerate everything you do."
From the moment you arrived, you've been finding fault with me in everything. If you're so capable, then don't make Baoliang cook for you!
"From now on, you'll be living here. I can't afford to serve you."
As she spoke, she picked up the groceries again and went back to the courtyard house at No. 88, where she watched TV with Jiang Ning and the others in the living room.
She realized that this was her home turf, and she wouldn't let an old woman from out of town bully her!
As for Gao Baoliang, if he dares to say a good word for his mother, he shouldn't be in her bed tonight.
Jiang Ning didn't know what to say, so she just silently gave her a thumbs up.
Half an hour later, Gao Baoliang rushed over, snuggled up to Yang Lu, and gently coaxed her.
"Don't be angry. I already scolded my mom. I've already told her that even if she stays here, you two don't need to see each other anymore."
Since we couldn't send our mother away, we had to resort to this compromise.
Over the next few days, Zhao Xiulian stayed in the courtyard house at No. 89, gradually becoming familiar with the environment and interacting with the neighbors.
When Wang Xiufen took Ji Min to visit other people's homes, she saw her twice, and left immediately after seeing her.
This kind of person isn't necessarily bad, but some people have deeply ingrained ideas about male chauvinism and the idea that daughters-in-law must obey their mothers-in-law unconditionally.
It wasn't mentioned that this kind of person gets along well with other older women, and when they sit together, they just talk badly about their daughters-in-law.
People like Wang Xiufen, who can get along well with their daughter-in-law, are practically an anomaly.
Yang Lu's mood gradually lifted from the gloom.
She now goes to work with Gao Baoliang during the day, taking photos with her camera, and has gradually picked up her love for photography again.
The renovation of Robert's house is nearing completion after the tiles were laid.
Yang Lu then took the indoor photos and found a photo studio to have them printed in color.
Gao Baoliang showed these color photos to others when discussing orders. Everyone who saw the photos was amazed, realizing that houses could be decorated so beautifully.
More and more people are hiring him for renovations.
His main job now is no longer supervising the site, but taking orders.
He recently hired a young man named Zhu Chi, a graduate of a design institute, and had him follow him around every day to train his design and budgeting skills.
As the business volume increased, he could no longer handle these things personally, and he could simply hand over the orders he received to Zhu Chi.
Zhu Chi was also very studious, taking notes in a notebook every day.
After a period of learning, he was able to independently complete interior design drawings and even prepare budgets.
That day, Gao Baoliang received an order: the tenant wanted to use the rented shop to open a restaurant and asked him to decorate it to create a high-end effect.
Gao Baoliang assigned this task to Zhu Chi.
Zhu Chi was very excited. "Boss, I will definitely complete the mission."
Gao Baoliang patted him on the shoulder.
"Be careful in your work, don't miss any items, and show me the design drawings and quotes you've prepared."
This was the first project he had completed independently, and Gao Baoliang was still a little apprehensive.
Zhu Chi quickly completed the work and reached an agreement with the tenant to renovate the restaurant within three months at a high price of 20,000 yuan.
At this stage, the price for renovation is not based on the price per square meter, but rather on a comprehensive assessment to determine the total cost.
Basically, if we can guarantee a 20% profit, that's already very good.
Gao Baoliang immediately made the decision and had Zhu Chi sign the contract on his behalf.
However, to his surprise, the restaurant was located right next to Jiang Rou.
Even the most meticulous plans can have a flaw!
Who knows what kind of trouble Jiang Rou will cause in the middle!
By the way, her KTV has been under renovation for so long and it's still not finished. Zhang Tiezhu is really unprofessional. It's a good thing he was fired.
That day, he and Yang Lu had been busy all day and rode their motorcycles back home.
As soon as the car stopped, Zhao Xiulian walked over with a smile.
"Lulu, I made chicken soup today, come and eat."
Yang Lu got goosebumps when she heard her call her "Lulu".
"Mom, I'm not hungry."
She politely declined.
Last time she brought two chickens, but because she was angry, the other person refused to give Yang Lu a single piece of meat and ate them all themselves.
She's being unusually attentive this time; she definitely doesn't have anything good in mind.
Sure enough, the next second she said:
"Lulu, look, I've been here for a few days now. Shouldn't we go and visit the in-laws? As the groom's parents, I should take the initiative to visit them."
Gao Baoliang didn't tell them about Yang Lu's family situation in detail, only saying that she was a cadre.
Zhao Xiulian thought to herself, "In the capital, if hail falls from the sky and hits someone, nine out of ten people will be officials."
Her husband is a government official, so it's not surprising at all.
However, while chatting with someone today, she inadvertently learned that Yang Lu's father lived in a courtyard house in Xidan.
The cadres living there were the elite among cadres, far more capable than ordinary cadres.
She immediately changed her tune, thinking she should take this opportunity to please her daughter-in-law.
As soon as she finished speaking, Gao Baoliang gave Yang Lu a troubled look.
Yang Ziqiang isn't the kind of person who's difficult to get along with; if you mention it to him, he'll definitely invite his mother over.
The problem is, he knows what his own mother is like.
It would be best if things went wrong.
"Mom, Lulu's dad is away on a business trip and we don't know when he'll be back. We can talk about meeting up later."
He made up an excuse to brush it off.
Zhao Xiulian smiled awkwardly: "Then I'll bring the chicken soup to Lulu."
Anyway, she's determined to do what she wants to do, even if it means being shameless.
Gao Baoliang watched her leave, shook his head helplessly, and helped Yang Lu back to her room.
Wang Xiufen made some mung bean cakes, and when she saw them come in, she quickly brought them some.
Yang Lu can't eat too many sweets, but the mung bean cake isn't too sweet, so she can eat a piece. Just as she was about to take it to eat, Zhao Xiulian brought over some chicken soup.
"Oh dear, how could you eat that? Mung beans are cooling in nature, pregnant women shouldn't eat them."
Wang Xiufen was speechless. Why couldn't she eat mung beans?
When Jiang Ning was pregnant, during the hottest part of summer, she drank mung bean porridge every day.
Mung bean soup can relieve heat and is the best drink in summer.
Zhao Xiulian ignored her and snatched the mung bean cake from Yang Lu's hand, stuffing the chicken soup into her hands instead.
Yang Lu thought that she might have meant well, so she didn't take it to heart, picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of chicken soup, and put it in her mouth.
The next second, she spat out all the chicken soup in her mouth with a 'pfft'.
Oh my god, this must be salt with chicken broth added, it's so salty!
