Chapter 303: Want to marry the commander’s daughter?

Summer vacation starts at the end of June.

Su He directly bought her family’s twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth shops.

Thirteen and fourteen are coffee shops and cake shops, which will open next year, and twelve is a grocery store, which will open in the second half of this year.

Su He decided that she would stop after opening 20 stores and buy a house.

There are still six shops to open.

I’ll think carefully about what kind of store to open when the time comes.

After the summer vacation, Changan and Su Mian set off to the northwest to visit their childhood playmate Shen Chaoyang.

It's just that they arrived at the wrong time, as the Shen family was arguing.

The noise was particularly intense.

"Your brother is so old, but he just stays at home and eats for free instead of going out. He doesn't even let me say anything, right? His leg is lame, not broken and he can't walk. Why does he stay at home all the time?"

"My brother just came back from the army. You have to give him some time."

"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. It's been almost half a year now, two hundred days. Any injuries should have healed by now. Is it appropriate for a grown man to stay at home all day?"

"Stop it, my brother was in the army before, didn't he take all his salary home?"

"Your mother has all your brother's salary. I didn't take a penny. Your mother saved it for your brother to get married. Humph, I don't know which girl is stupid enough to marry a second-married, lame man!"

"Wang Xiaofang, please don't go too far with your words!"

Chang'an and Su Mian met Shen's mother on the way to Shen's house, and went back to Shen's house with her. As soon as they opened the door, they heard someone quarreling.

Although the two of them quarreled in the bedroom with the door closed, the noise was loud enough to be heard by several people present.

Family disgrace should not be made public, and the quarrel was heard by outsiders. Shen's mother was embarrassed and hurried to stop the two people.

"Xiaofang, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it tonight. We have guests at home now." Mother Shen glared at her daughter-in-law.

I didn't realize before that her daughter-in-law had such strong opinions about her youngest son, but today I finally found out.

Mother Shen was very angry.

Wang Xiaofang came out and saw that the visitors were the children of her former neighbors and another unfamiliar child, so she closed the door and left them alone. She was in a bad mood and was too lazy to entertain these people.

Let her mother-in-law entertain her.

Mother Shen smiled at the two of them embarrassedly, "Mianmian, you guys sit down first." She prepared to pour them some water.

"Don't worry, auntie. Let's go see Brother Chaoyang. Is he in the room?"

The atmosphere in the house was not very good. Su Mian and Chang'an did not want to stay any longer, so they just glanced at their little friend and left.

"Yes, yes."

Shen's mother went to open the door for the two of them. Shen Chaoyang had so much cotton stuffed in his ears that he couldn't hear anything going on in the house, nor did he hear the sound of the door opening.

He was standing with his back to the door, doing something unknown.

Shen's mother came over and patted his shoulder before he turned around. Seeing that it was Su Mian and Chang An, he stood up from his chair, took out the cotton from his ears, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Shen's mother smiled, "They came here just to see you."

"Brother Chaoyang, do you think I have changed a lot?" Changan went over and gave Shen Chaoyang a hug first.

Shen Chaoyang looked at him and said, "Big brother, you have grown taller and more handsome."

Su Mian, "What about me?"

Shen Chaoyang, "You've changed a lot, you've become more beautiful than before!"

"So that means I was ugly before?" Su Mian pretended to be angry.

Shen Chaoyang quickly waved his hands, "No, no, you were pretty before, too."

Shen Chaoyang is not very old, two years older than Chang'an, and is twenty-four years old this year.

"You guys chat while I cook."

Mother Shen saw her son finally smile. Since he was injured and discharged from the army after returning from Yun Province, her little son has never smiled from the bottom of his heart.

The three of them chatted enthusiastically, and Changan asked, "Brother Chaoyang, is it impossible for your leg to recover?"

Although the limb was not amputated, it is not nice to walk with a limp. It could be that the limp was born, but this is acquired.

Su Mian, "Yes, Brother Chaoyang, should we go to the Beijing City Hospital?"

Shen Chaoyang shook his head. "The doctor said my fracture is quite serious. It's already very good that I can recover to this extent."

Su Mian's specialty is not orthopedics, and she doesn't know much about this area. Chang'an's specialty is orthopedics, and he and Shen Chaoyang took the films they took.

After looking at it for a while, he said, "This patch hasn't healed properly, which is why you're lame."

Shen Chaoyang nodded, "Yes, that's what the doctor said."

"If I want to get back to normal, I'll have to have another surgery, but the doctor said it's not necessary because it's too risky. I don't have any other problems except that I can't walk properly."

Su Mian and Chang'an looked worried upon hearing this.

Shen Chaoyang, "What are you two looking at? I'm already a great honor to be back alive. Even if my leg is lame, it's fine."

"I have a comrade..."

Changan, "Brother Chaoyang, what are your plans for the future?"

Shen Chaoyang was very confused about this. He had been used to staying in the army and now he had become an ordinary person. He didn't know what to do for a while.

Su Mian said, "Why don't you go to Beijing to do business, like my aunt, and open a shop."

"Doing business?" Shen Chaoyang had never thought about this direction.

Changan, "Yes, yes, my mom is very good at business. She opened several stores and made a lot of money than working."

Shen Chaoyang asked with a smile, "Auntie, what kind of business do you do?"

They also have some self-employed people here, selling clothes and running a small shop. It's a small county town, so that's it.

"My mom's store has a wide range of products, including clothing, accessories, billiards..."

Changan usually doesn't tell others what business his family is in, but Shen Chaoyang is not an ordinary person.

Shen Chaoyang listened and said, "Auntie is amazing."

Su Mian, "Brother Chaoyang, why don't you go to Beijing as well? Change the environment and your mood."

"Well, let me think about it."

"When will you leave?"

"We leave in a week."

Shen Chaoyang, "It's not too late. Let me think about it."

Although he had never done business before, he knew that doing business was not that easy. First of all, he needed capital, and secondly, the source of goods. Also, he had to go to Beijing, so food, accommodation and shelter were also issues.

He did have the capital. The army gave him several thousand yuan when he was discharged from the army. His sister-in-law had quarreled with his elder brother many times because of this money.

Shen Chaoyang plans to discuss it with his parents.

Shen's mother also planned to talk to her daughter-in-law. The old couple were not even dead yet, but they started to dislike her son.

Chang'an and Su Mian did not stay for dinner because they could not eat because of the quarrel between the brother and sister-in-law.

The outsider left.

The rest are family members, so we can talk openly about anything.

Wang Xiaofang put the chopsticks on the table and said, "I've said what I want to say. Since we are all family, please lend us Chaoyang's military retirement pay."

"It's not like his brother and I won't pay it back. We will pay it back when we make the money."

Her parents-in-law are really something. They hold on to her brother-in-law's retirement pay and refuse to give it to him even after asking him to do so several times.

Shen's mother said, "This is impossible. This is the money my son earned with his life. Even if he doesn't spend it, you can't spend it."

"Just give up on this idea."

Brother Shen Songbai looked at Shen Chaoyang and said, "Chaoyang, please say something."

Shen Chaoyang's eyes were calm, "Brother, I need this money for my own use, I can't lend it to you."

Wang Xiaofang was anxious, "You want to use it? What are you doing?"

Shen Chaoyang, "I'm going to Beijing to make a living."

Shen Songbai was puzzled. "If it's not Chaoyang, why are you going to Beijing? You have a disability and you are unfamiliar with Beijing. Why are you going there?"

Shen Chaoyang, "Don't worry about this, it's my own business."

“Bang!”

Wang Xiaofang stopped eating, slammed the bowl heavily on the table, got up and went into the house to pack her things. She wanted to go back to her parents' home!

Shen Chaoyang didn't care and continued to eat as usual.

Shen's mother couldn't stand her daughter-in-law's temper, "Wang Xiaofang, what do you mean?"

"If you have something to say, just say it. Why did you break the bowl? Is that your money? Are you thinking about it? Huh?"

"If you hadn't joined forces to plot against my son, would my son have a lame leg now?"

Shen's mother has always felt that the eldest daughter-in-law and her family were plotting against her youngest son, otherwise how could someone fall into the water at such a coincidence.

As soon as her son stepped out of the door, someone fell into the water, as if waiting for her son.

That didn't happen. Her son wouldn't have been so angry as to go to the troops in Yun Province, and he wouldn't have been injured and crippled later.

"What does your son's lame leg have to do with me? What does it have to do with our family?"

"And what's wrong with my cousin? She's so pretty, but your son doesn't like her. Why does he want to marry the commander's daughter?"

"Humph, there might have been a chance in the past, but now even those who are married for the second time and have kids won't marry him!"
