Chapter 14 Xiao Heng was injured
"But this is a store, everyone who buys something has to pay, I need the capital to purchase goods."
Xu Jiaojiao said truthfully.
Spicy strips are 50 cents a bag, although it is not much, but people have to pay.
"Who asks relatives for money for business? Besides, this is nothing." Chen Jinsheng said, holding the things in his arms tighter. You
have to haggle over a little snack, do you really think he can't afford it?
He just thinks that he doesn't need to pay for his relative's business, he is his uncle, not his cousin.
"Yes, it's not much money, why don't you give it to me? Since we are relatives, I will give you a 50% discount, which is already very fair, right?"
Xu Jiaojiao knew that this uncle was a notorious rogue. He was the youngest of four children in her grandmother's family. Although he was so old, her grandmother still doted on him.
She was still a child, why should she give in to her uncle?
"Why are you so stubborn? If we take things from you, it will look like your business is good to outsiders?"
"I don't need it."
Xu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes. He really knew how to make excuses for his greed.
When she found someone to look after the store before, they always came to take things. The acting store manager didn't know how to solve the problem and always called her to ask.
She had no choice but to let them take it.
They took advantage of her when she was not here before, and now that she is here, she can't just let them take whatever they want.
"Hey, little kid, you are so petty, you don't act like an adult at all, I'll give it all to you, okay?" Zhao Qiaoqiao lost her patience, took out the chocolates and food stuffed in her bag again, and threw them on the table and the floor.
Now that the child has lost his temper, she can't control him anymore.
"Jiaojiao, your uncle and I are thinking about you. You occupy this house, and you will marry someone else in the future. We are your relatives and your support!"
She crossed her arms and tried to use verbal attacks to make Xu Jiaojiao feel guilty, and put the good things in their hands to ask for forgiveness.
Her sister and brother-in-law are gone, and her grandfather has no ability. Aren't they the most powerful supporters? If she
doesn't curry favor with them, no one will stand up for her when she is bullied by her husband's family in the future.
Xu Jiaojiao looked at her arrogant look. With such a family, she would worry about being laughed at.
"It's okay. I won't get married. This small shop is good."
She is a two-dimensional girl. After what happened to Hu Qiang, she believes that only paper people can make her happy.
They will never stand on the opposite side of themselves.
Even Xiao Heng is more humane than them, not to mention that he is more straightforward to give money, and even afraid that he will give too little.
"Xu Jiaojiao, you are singing a different tune from us. You have been in school for so many years, and this is all you have learned?"
Xu Jiaojiao shook her head. Nine-year compulsory education is advocated by the country. In order to take care of the children in the country, it is certainly a good decision.
So, it's her who is not good enough.
"No, it's just that I have poor character, don't blame the school."
Chen Jinsheng originally thought that she knew she was wrong, but she did it on purpose to irritate him.
Even though the air conditioner was on in the room, he was sweating profusely.
This time he wanted to come over to persuade her to transfer the store to him, but now he didn't have the heart to talk at all.
"You have such a bad temper, anyone would be lucky to marry you, wife, let's go!"
Xu Jiaojiao bent down to pick up things, and deliberately smiled to see them off, "Then I won't stay any longer."
"You'd better not come here for nothing, my small shop can't accommodate two big Buddhas like you!"
The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for them to hear.
Outside, Zhao Qiaoqiao wanted to go back and have a good talk with Xu Jiaojiao, but was stopped by the man, "Okay, I'll let our mother come out and talk to her, a kid!"
"Okay, you let mom come out! We can't talk about her, but there are plenty of people who can." Zhao Qiaoqiao finally showed a sly smile. She was rejected by Xu Jiaojiao today, and she had to get it back.
Xu Jiaojiao had just bought some cold noodles to eat when her cell phone buzzed. A closer look revealed that it was her grandmother in the group who was tagging her.
The old lady couldn't type on her cell phone, but she was very good at making voice calls
. As soon as the uncle left, grandma called. You could tell what happened with your toes.
Xu Jiaojiao put the food in order, put the cell phone aside, and started playing voice calls.
The first sentence was a powerful admonition.
[Xu Jiaojiao! You run a small shop, and you still ask your uncle for money? ]
[When your mother was alive, she knew to take things home on her own initiative. It’s ok for you not to go out, but you still ask for money? ]
[That’s your uncle, he will be your support when you get married in the future! What are you talking about, never getting married in your life! It’s so embarrassing not to get married! ]
[You should quickly take some delicious food to your uncle’s house and apologize. And why do you have to run your shop by yourself? Do you know how to run a business? ]
The old lady’s voice was very sharp, and she frowned even if she was far away.
Xu Jiaojiao was not in a hurry. She ate slowly and watched anime, as if the news just now was just an interlude.
But the old lady seemed to be full and had nothing to do. She didn't want to let her go. The next second, a video call came in.
She rolled her eyes before answering it. Seeing that she was eating, the other party was immediately furious.
"Xu Jiaojiao, can you still eat? You have broken your uncle's heart."
"Grandma, I am doing business, not charity. I can give it to you, but you can't just take it directly. The total amount has reached dozens of dollars. How much can I sell in a day to make back my investment?"
She scolded the old lady without any politeness.
Anyway, she has never been good to her family. She has always been treated as a laborer. The hardship is borne by her family and her aunt, and the happiness is shared by her uncle.
She has never received the warmth of her grandma since she was a child, and she is not filial to her.
"Since you don't think you can take care of the store, just give it to your uncle. He is smarter than you in business."
The old lady seemed to have caught the opportunity and quickly put forward her original intention.
This time, Xu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes to the sky, and she was looking at the old lady.
Don't be too obvious when you are partial.
"Xu Jiaojiao, who are you rolling your eyes at? What's your attitude?"
"Grandma, don't you have a pension? You must have saved quite a bit in the past few years. Why don't you rent a store for your uncle? My parents are gone, and this is my only support. Are you going to take it away?" She
didn't choose to let her family look after the store because she was worried that they would do something secretly and make the place a mess. Then she wouldn't be able to keep the house.
Seeing that her grandma's face was red with anger and she was about to speak again, Xu Jiaojiao suddenly said, "Oh, someone is coming to the store. I'm hanging up first."
Pah.
She hung up decisively to prevent her from calling again and blocked her directly.
Anyway, they were just relatives with only blood ties but no family affection, so it didn't matter to block them.
As the sunlight grew brighter at noon, Xu Jiaojiao went upstairs to lie down again.
Xiao Heng was nowhere to be seen in the room, so she didn't pay much attention and just lay on the bed to watch variety shows.
After a while, Xiao Heng suddenly appeared, his right hand covering his left arm, blood seeping from the cracks between his fingers.
When Xu Jiaojiao saw this, she suddenly sat up with her eyes wide open, "What happened? How did you get hurt!"
