Chapter 130 Chapter 130 Human greed
After listening to Shu Meilan's words, Liu Laoshi went to Haicheng to inquire about the Qingyan Cream. He was shocked to find out that this damn girl Shu Niannian had quietly done such a big thing in Haicheng.
Ever since she saw the hot sales of Qingyan Cream, she has been obsessed with it. She thinks that she should also have shares in Qingyan Cream. Qingyan Cream was founded by Shu Niannian before she got married, so it should belong to the Shu family. After Wang Yiping married Shu Wenhui, she became Shu Niannian's sister-in-law. An elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Wang Yiping should own the majority of the Qingyan Cream brand, and she is Wang Yeping's biological mother. It is only natural for her to take a small portion of shares from Wang Yeping's share!
After returning to the countryside from Haicheng, Liu Laoshi went to find Shu Meilan again. Shu Meilan did the math for Liu Laoshi and found that even if he only had 10% of the shares, the dividends would be an astronomical figure when the year came around.
Think about it, Liu Laoshi has worked hard all her life, but in the end she can't even earn enough for a meal!
She felt extremely unbalanced.
If she had not had the relationship with Wang Yeping and Shu Wenhui, she would have known that Shu Niannian could earn so much money, and at most she would have been envious, jealous and resentful in her heart, and would not dare to show it on her face. But with the relationship with Wang Yeping, her thoughts became very active, and she felt that she should naturally have a share of that money.
What was hateful was that Li Guifen pretended to be poor and said that she could only marry a daughter-in-law according to the rural bride price.
Pooh!
How shameless!
Is there any mother like this in the world? ! Treat your daughter as a treasure and your son as weed? She didn't believe that Li Guifen would be so confused. She just felt that Li Guifen saw that Liu Laoshi was a country girl with little knowledge and wanted to shortchange her daughter's betrothal gift. Although her name was Liu Laoshi, she was not stupid. How could she agree to Li Guifen's wishes?
After estimating Shu Niannian's assets, Liu Laoshi finally only asked Li Guifen for a betrothal gift of 5,000 yuan. In fact, according to her original idea, she wanted a betrothal gift of 50,000 yuan. Wang Yeping told her that the betrothal gift could not exceed Shu Niannian's, so she reluctantly asked for only 5,000 yuan.
But Li Guifen actually said that she was asking for too much? !
He also said that he would only give 500 yuan as a betrothal gift, not a penny more.
Of course she couldn't agree. A betrothal gift of 500 yuan was considered extremely high in the countryside, but compared with Shu Niannian's assets, it was like giving away money to a beggar. She angrily dragged Wang Yeping home and asked the matchmaker to tell her that the betrothal gift must be 5,000 yuan, not a penny less. She must cure Li Guifen's problem. If she was not willing to pay a betrothal gift of 5,000 yuan, how could she ask for Qingyan's shares later?
She wanted to leave Li Guifen alone. Anyway, Shu Wenhui liked Wang Yiping, so she was very confident about this marriage!
But unexpectedly, Li Guifen not only refused to bow to her, but also took Shu Wenhui to Haicheng. Liu Laoshi was panicked. Her daughter Wang Yiping could barely be considered a village beauty in the countryside, but she was not good enough in Haicheng. What would happen to her daughter if Shu Wenhui was seduced by a girl from the city? What should happen to her shares?
On the day when Liu Laoshi learned that Shu Wenhui was going to Haicheng, he took Wang Yiping to Haicheng as well.
Li Guifen is packing a portion of eight-treasure porridge for a customer, while Shu Wenhui is packing vegetable buns and tea eggs for customers. They earn hard-earned money while welcoming and seeing off customers. Li Guifen and Shu Wenhui are wearing pure white work clothes, with fine beads of sweat on their foreheads. These days they get up at 2 or 3 in the morning to make snacks, and can only get a rest at 2 in the afternoon. It is really hard work, but they are also really happy, after all, they can earn money.
The last wave of passenger flow peak had just passed. Li Guifen and Shu Wenhui were about to sit on the bench to rest when they heard a voice from the side, "Mother-in-law? What are you doing? I thought you came to Haicheng to enjoy yourself, but I didn't expect you to be working? Oh, mother-in-law, didn't you say Shu Niannian opened a big company in Haicheng? When you came to Haicheng, she didn't show filial piety to you, didn't give you delicious food and take care of you, and even let you work. She is so cruel! Oh, mother-in-law, you look at your sweaty head, take off your work clothes quickly, and don't work! I will go with you to talk to Shu Niannian. You should have a share of the money she earned from the company. Mother-in-law, you are just too kind!"
As soon as Liu Laoshi saw Li Guifen, she started to put on a sly look at Shu Niannian without any reason. She seemed to be thinking about Li Guifen, but actually she wanted to get money from Shu Niannian. In her opinion, her daughter Wang Yiping was about to become Shu Niannian's sister-in-law, and an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Wang Yiping must have a share of the money Shu Niannian earned. Wang Yiping's money was her money, and rounding it off, the money Shu Niannian earned was her money.
Now that her money was not in her pocket, she was extremely anxious.
Li Guifen's face darkened when she heard Liu Laoshi's words. "What are you talking about? What do you mean my daughter is unfilial? My daughter is filial. I am a good person with hands and feet. I can work and earn money myself. Why do I want my daughter to give me money?"
Liu Laoshi felt that she was thinking about Li Guifen. Li Guifen had a gloomy face now, but it was just that Li Guifen was hurt by her words, so Li Guifen was unhappy.
Li Guifen, like her, must have wanted Shu Niannian's money, but Shu Niannian did not give it to her on her own initiative, and Li Guifen was too embarrassed to do so.
It seems that asking for money requires a method and strategy, so that you can get the money and save Li Guifen's face at the same time. Oh no! Li Guifen is such trouble! Liu Laoshi thought with some disgust.
But for the sake of money, she still had to coax Li Guifen, "Haha, mother-in-law, you are right, we should be self-reliant, but if conditions permit, who doesn't want to make their life easier, don't you think?"
Li Guifen looked at Liu Laoshi, who had an honest face but spoke flattering words. She looked down on him more and more from the bottom of her heart. But she glanced at Shu Wenhui who was moving a stool for Wang Yiping, and had to suppress her anger.
Li Guifen put on a smile and handed a bun to Liu Laoshi. "You also said that there are conditions to enjoy. Wenhui and I don't know anything. We have no money, no power, and no influence. It was Nian Nian who helped me find this job. Otherwise, if Wenhui and I wanted to work, no one would want us."
Li Guifen and Liu Laoshi were exchanging witty remarks. Over there, Wang Yiping was sitting on a stool, pointing at the big words "Wenhui Snacks" on the door and asked Shu Wenhui, "Wenhui, this is actually your store, right? Look, the name of the store is the same as your name!"
Shu Wenhui was about to say yes when Li Guifen's voice came over. Shu Wenhui looked at Wang Yiping, who was smiling like a flower. She was still as beautiful as before, but he saw some different emotions in her eyes. Liu Laoshi continued to hear the voice of Shu Niannian asking how much money Shu Niannian could earn in a year. Shu Wenhui lowered his eyelids to cover up the fleeting disappointment. When he looked up again, he smiled and said to Wang Yiping, "How is it possible? You know what my family conditions are. Where can I get the money to open a store? However, when I save enough money to open a store, I also want to open a breakfast shop. Although running a breakfast shop is tiring, it is better than farming at home. After we get married, we can farm and work at the same time. We can go home to farm during the busy farming season and come out to work during the slack farming season. We will definitely live a very good life. What do you think?"
Wang Yeping's smile froze. She didn't want to farm. Her mother said that she was destined to enjoy a good life. But at this moment, facing Shu Wenhui's beautiful vision, she could only nod and say yes.
Wang Yiping lowered her head to eat the bun. The bun had thin skin and thick meat, and it was so delicious!
But she just wants to eat buns and doesn’t want to make them!
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, in order to avoid being exposed, Li Guifen took Liu Laoshi and Wang Yiping to the house on Chengde Avenue, leaving Shu Wenhui alone to run the store. After all, they were relatives, and since they met in Haicheng, she had to at least treat Liu Laoshi and Wang Yiping to a meal.
Liu Laoshi kept talking in a roundabout way about how rich Shu Niannian was, and he was saying that Shu Niannian was unfilial. Considering the shaky relationship between them as in-laws, Li Guifen did not turn hostile on the spot, but she had made up her mind to talk to Shu Wenhui. Does he really have to have Wang Yeping as his daughter-in-law?
The house on Chengde Avenue is very spacious, a typical large quadrangle, with three main rooms, three side rooms, three back rooms and a spacious courtyard. As soon as Li Guifen opened the door, Liu Laoshi was stunned by the thought of this gorgeous quadrangle. Even an ordinary quadrangle in Haicheng is much better than a rural earthen tile house, not to mention that this is a courtyard specially renovated by Ye Zhiqiu. A small garden was opened up against the wall of the courtyard, and a swing was set up next to the garden. Next to the swing is a small pavilion. There is a washing machine in the west ear room of the main room, a refrigerator in the kitchen, and a TV in the bedroom of the main room. The rosewood house has everything. Since Liu Laoshi entered the yard, her eyes have not been enough. She looked around and touched the rosewood armchair again and again, her eyes full of greedy desires, "My dear, what is this house of yours?"
Li Guifen sneered, "This is not my house, it's Nian Nian's house. She saw that I had no place to stay in Haicheng, and she happened to have an extra house, so she let me live here first. When Wenhui and I get our salaries, we'll move out."
Liu Laoshi was surprised and said, "It's Nian Nian's house? Then where does she live?"
"She lives with her parents-in-law."
Liu Laoshi's eyes suddenly flashed with a terrifying light, "My dear, since this house is given to you, then you can live here peacefully. Why are you talking about moving out? Shu Niannian already has a place to live. How much money will it cost for you to rent such a decent and spacious house outside?"
Li Guifen smiled and glanced at Liu Laoshi, saying, "You are joking. We are trying to make a living outside, mainly to earn some money for Wenhui to marry a wife. How can we rent such a luxurious house? We can just rent two houses. It is a bit hard, but I feel at ease living here."
Liu Laoshi's heart was pounding because of the courtyard. She couldn't hear that Li Guifen was pointing at her, and she blurted out her true feelings without noticing, "Hey, your daughter's courtyard is your courtyard, so what's yours and hers? If it were you, your family wouldn't have to build a new house. Just let Wenhui and Yiping get married in this courtyard! Look, this courtyard is fully furnished, and there are so many home appliances. If they get married here, you can save a lot of money. And I heard that vegetables in the city are very expensive. Look at how big this courtyard is. When you go back, tear down the garden and the pavilion, and then dig up the concrete floor, you can grow vegetables in this courtyard, and you will definitely save a lot of money. Of course, if you don't want to live with the young couple, you can move out after they get married, and I'll take care of them. I'm a good farmer, and I can definitely take good care of Wenhui."
Liu Laoshi's abacus beads were scattered all over the floor. With just a few words, she squeezed Shu Niannian and Li Guifen out and became the master of this yard.
