Chapter 12 No Money in Life
After listening to Dai Qing's reminder, Mrs. Zhao looked even more grim than when she came. Her hands holding the teacup were shaking a little, which made Mrs. Wang couldn't help but sigh.
"Old sister, please don't think I'm being harsh. Chaoyue has been disrupting business more than once or twice. Every time he goes out with his head held high and comes back with nothing on his butt. He's definitely not cut out for business."
"I know that, but he borrowed money from the young lady this time. If he loses all the money, the young lady and her husband will definitely get divorced."
Aunt Zhao rubbed her hands and looked up at Dai Qing.
"Xiao Qing, do you think there is any hope for this matter? At least pay the lady back."
"Then go find your son now. Maybe you can get some of the money back."
Aunt Zhao: “…”
My son works so hard, why can't he make any money?
Aunt Wang also tried to persuade her, and it took a while for Old Lady Zhao to calm down. She took out five yuan from her pocket and put it on the table.
"Xiao Qing, do you think my daughter will get divorced this time?"
"There will be some twists and turns, but there is no sign of divorce. The children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and Aunt Zhao does not need to get involved too much, which will make the children worry less."
The more you interfere in your children's affairs, the worse the situation will be.
"Thank you. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have asked the young lady for money."
Old Mrs. Zhao stood up dejectedly, turned around and left. Aunt Wang chased after her and shouted at her to stop, but she had no choice but to turn back.
"Xiaoqing, is your mother Zhao really that miserable?"
"In fact, as long as she doesn't get too involved in her children's lives, she can still live a simple life. But looking at Aunt Zhao's attitude, I'm afraid that's impossible."
"Xiao Qing is really amazing. When your Aunt Zhao was young, she had a strong personality and she never changed her mind. Even when she got older, her children had to listen to her. This made her daughter-in-law and son-in-law have opinions."
Aunt Wang sighed, looked at the five dollars on the table, and smiled apologetically.
"Mr. Zhao is short of money recently. Xiaoqing, for the sake of our mother, please don't complain about the small amount, okay?"
"Don't worry, Aunt Wang. These are enough for Aunt Zhao."
There are three things a prime minister will accept and three things he will not accept.
The three charges are: the rich receive more, the poor receive less; fortune-telling cannot be without money.
There are three things that you won’t accept: those who are about to die of old age, those who are about to face a great disaster, and those who have no more good luck.
After seeing off Aunt Wang, Dai Qing took the five yuan and went to the market to buy food for the next two days. On the way back, she met an old man begging with a cane, and gave him one yuan and two hot steamed buns.
The beggar looked at the steamed buns and money in the bowl and raised his head in shock.
"Thank you...thank you."
After returning home and having dinner, I reviewed the physiognomy book for a while, continued to meditate, and practiced the physiognomy techniques.
Since she began to sense the Qi flow in her body, Dai Qing has noticeably felt that her eyes have become brighter than before, especially when it comes to observing people's facial complexions, she has become more intuitive.
Another good night's sleep, she got up at 7:30 in the morning to wash up. Today was the middle shift, so she took advantage of the good weather in the morning to wash all the sheets and quilt covers at home. She soaked the detergent and rubbed it twice, and with a crackling sound, the sheets were torn.
Looking at the bed sheets that she had torn to pieces, Dai Qing glanced at her own hands. Was she so strong now?
Fortunately, she had a huge sum of money left by her grandfather. While she had some free time, she planned to go to the Textile World and buy herself two new sets of bed sheets and quilt covers.
She went back to her room and changed into a pair of blue straight pants, a white waisted shirt, flat-heeled leather shoes, and a small black leather bag slung across her body.
Paired with a high ponytail, it’s simple and refreshing.
Although she was a loner in her previous life, she had good taste in clothes and her clothes were all simple in style and went with everything.
