Breaking off the relationship letter without giving in
One inconvenience of setting up a stall with a child is that I have to prepare food for him at the right time.
The shop had only been open for an hour and Yangyang was already screaming with hunger.
Shi Mingzhu made some milk powder for him, but Yangyang didn't want to drink it after taking a few sips.
He looked at her with a frown on his face, a look of rejection.
"You don't want to drink milk powder, you want to eat rice porridge?" Yangyang looked at her, and when he heard the word rice porridge, the expression on his face became obviously more lively and not so bitter and resentful.
Shi Mingzhu coaxed him, "Drink the milk powder first, and mom will make you something delicious in the evening!"
Yangyang frowned, Shi Mingzhu looked at him and frowned, discussing, "How about drinking milk powder first?"
Yangyang, with a face that looked like he was about to cry, looked at his mother, then at his uncles, and finally buried his head in Shi Mingzhu's arms.
Shi Mingzhu felt a little distressed. She was hungry and wanted to eat, but she couldn't eat what she liked. She didn't cry and was so well behaved that it made people feel distressed. He immediately took out some money and gave it to Shi Jianshe, "Jianshe, use the money to help me find someone to make some millet porridge. Add some bones and salt. Cook the rice until it's soft and cook it for a long time."
Shi Jianshe was a little confused, "Who can I find to help?"
"Go find a restaurant. As long as you have money, there's nothing to be afraid of." Xiang Chuanzhi continued, taking the money from Shi Mingzhu's hand.
"Sister Ming, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on you. We'll be back after we finish cooking the porridge." After he said that, he pulled Shi Jianshe and the others out.
Shi Mingzhu watched them leave, then looked down at Yangyang in her arms. He also raised his head and looked at her with tears in his eyes. Shi Mingzhu held up the bottle in her hand, "Do you want to drink? Your uncles and aunts have gone to buy you some porridge. Eat some milk powder to fill your stomach first?"
Yangyang buried his head in her chest. Shi Mingzhu only saw his head shaking from side to side. When he looked up again, the tears in his eyes had been wiped away. Then he reached out to take the bottle and drank the milk with a gulp.
Shi Mingzhu was shocked, and her heart softened. She hugged Yangyang and kissed him again and again, "Good boy, mom won't do this again tomorrow. Please forgive mom this time, okay?"
Yangyang didn't say anything, just kept drinking milk. However, Shi Mingzhu could feel Yangyang hugging her neck even tighter.
Not long after drinking the milk, Yangyang fell asleep. Shi Mingzhu felt even softer in the heart. She looked at the time and it was almost 12 noon. She thought to herself that she must not make the same mistake again tomorrow.
A few more students came to the stall behind. Shi Mingzhu learned from them that they saw their classmates wearing nice clothes and came here to ask around. It seems that her stall has become famous among some students.
Shi Mingzhu also took the opportunity to tell these students that she would have a new batch of bags in three days. She asked these students to come and have a look when they were free, but they didn't have to buy anything.
“Wouldn’t it be bad if I just looked but didn’t buy?”
Shi Mingzhu smiled and said to every student who was curious about her bags, "If you want to buy one, wait until my bags are new and I'll give you a bag when you spend 60 yuan on clothes."
"Then I will definitely come to see it then!"
Shi Mingzhu watched the students leave. The students were satisfied with the bargain. She put the advertisement in a few words and she was also quite satisfied.
After Yangyang fell asleep, she was busy until two o'clock in the afternoon before she had a break. There were no customers for the time being, so Shi Mingzhu counted the goods and found that the underwear was selling particularly fast. She had just received the goods yesterday, and half of them had been sold by now. Basically, everyone who bought clothes would buy one or two sets of underwear. It looks like I'll have to get another batch of underwear in a couple of days.
At this time, Xiang Chuanzhi and others also came back with porridge.
"Sister Ming, the porridge is here!"
Looking at the porridge and smelling the fragrance, Shi Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief and woke Yangyang up. The child was woken up, and Shi Mingzhu looked at him with a pursed mouth. He wanted to cry, but maybe he smelled the fragrance, and the next second his eyes looked at the porridge in her hand.
She watched him sit up from the pile of clothes, then stand up and stumble towards her.
Shi Mingzhu knew that he was really hungry and quickly fed him.
Xiang Chuanzhi and his friends also brought back a bone with meat on it for Yangyang to chew on.
Yangyang was probably really hungry. After finishing his porridge, he grabbed a bone and gnawed on it, eating it with great relish. Since his little hands couldn't hold it, he motioned to Shi Mingzhu to help him.
Shi Mingzhu took it as he wished, and he smiled at her.
"Sister, he is so smart." Shi Jianshe, who was watching from the sidelines, exclaimed sincerely.
Although Shi Mingzhu also thought Yangyang was very smart, there was obviously only one very important reason for this. She smiled and said, "You will be like this if you are very hungry."
Little Yangyang finished chewing the bone and burped.
Shi Mingzhu was worried that he had eaten too much, so she touched his stomach and found that it was not very bloated, so she started to worry.
Two hours later, Shi Mingzhu thought about it and decided to close the stall and go back.
Yangyang can't eat dinner too late. After returning to the Home Inn, Shi Mingzhu asked the front desk to borrow the hotel's kitchen to cook dinner for Yangyang.
Children need more calcium supplements when they are young. Shi Mingzhu made him steamed eggs and some rice porridge. She cooked more porridge because she was afraid that he would be hungry at night.
"Yangyang, are you full?" After swallowing the last bite of egg, Yangyang nodded heavily.
Shi Mingzhu smiled, took out her wallet, and poured the money from today's clothes sales onto the bed, "Now Yangyang and mom will count the money!"
Yangyang grinned, grabbed the wallet from Shi Mingzhu's hand and hung it on himself.
"Very good, very good, hello, Boss Shi!" Shi Mingzhu liked Yangyang's money-loving look very much. She held his little hand and shook it, which made Yangyang laugh.
While he was not making trouble, Shi Mingzhu counted today's income.
Today is the second day of opening. Although the sale is still buy one get one free, there are still many students coming to buy clothes. Some buy several sets at a time. Shi Mingzhu expects the money spent will be more than enough.
Sure enough, after counting, the total was 169.8 yuan, which, minus the cost, was 82.1 yuan.
Without the discounts, the profits would be much greater. Shi Mingzhu made up her mind that she would do business with students in the future, as she could make much more money than adults.
Shi Mingzhu felt that she should buy more goods. No matter what she sold, she should make some money first!
The next day, after feeding Yangyang breakfast, Shi Mingzhu took him to open the stall again.
She closed her stall around noon and went to the vegetable market next to her new house to buy some pork bones and taro.
The pork bones were bought for Yangyang, but she had other uses for the taro.
When leaving, I met Huo Chengfeng and father-in-law Huo Jiafeng in the new house.
Huo Jiafeng came to find Shi Mingzhu specifically. He stopped Shi Mingzhu and said, "I'll have someone come to prepare for the roof-capping work next month. What do you think?"
"What's taking so long?"
Huo Jiafeng explained, "I have something to do these few days. I will find someone to cap it for you when I am done."
Shi Mingzhu didn't ask any more questions, and took out 300 yuan and handed it to Huo Jiafeng, "This money is for the work, Dad, you can give it as you see fit, and it's okay to give more money, as long as the work is done well. If it's not enough, I'll give you more when the work starts."
Huo Jiafeng glanced at his son. In fact, his son had already given him the money, but he finally took the money from Shi Mingzhu.
Shi Mingzhu had seen the quarrel between the father and son. She knew that Huo Chengfeng must be out of money. Of course, he couldn't spend money like this even if he had it. She had to pay for her house with her own money, and as for his money, she had to keep it for paying child support for her son. Otherwise, she would be angry if he didn't have money to pay child support when the time came.
She glanced at Huo Chengfeng obliquely. She felt compelled to remind him of that.
After giving her the money, she asked to leave. Huo Jiafeng glanced at the child in her arms and nodded regretfully. Yangyang fell asleep, otherwise he could have hugged his grandson.
Thinking of this, he felt that his son was useless. He couldn't even keep his wife and children.
Huo Chengfeng ignored the glare from his father Huo Jiafeng. When Shi Mingzhu left, he followed her.
He made small talk, looking at his son's little face sleeping on her shoulder, "Mingzhu, was Yangyang good today?"
Shi Mingzhu stopped and said, "What did I say last time? When you pay child support, bring your marriage certificate with you, and then we'll go get the divorce certificate. If you don't have a marriage certificate now, then I think you can stay away. I don't really want to see you."
Shi Mingzhu continued, "Oh, and I hope you won't give me money to build the house anymore. I know you gave money to your father on my behalf. I should spend my own money on my house. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain in the future and it will be very annoying. I'm also worried that you don't have money to pay child support for Yangyang."
Huo Chengfeng's eyes darkened, "Do we have to separate so clearly? Do we have to leave? Can you give me another chance? You can see if I have changed. Just one month will be enough. One month, see if I have changed. I will definitely do as you wish."
His tone was very humble.
"I went back yesterday and proposed to my mother and Huo Chengyu that we should break off the engagement. I spent money to break off the engagement and asked Huo Chengyu not to appear in front of us again. She took the money and signed a pledge and agreed. I also moved to the police station dormitory. You are not in that house anymore, and I don't want to live there anymore. Now only my parents live there."
Shi Mingzhu opened her mouth in surprise, "You and Huo Chengyu broke up? And it cost money? How much? Are your parents happy about it?" She was really surprised.
"It cost 200 yuan. She asked for so much, and I gave it all at once. I agreed. I will only give her the money this time." Huo Chengfeng did not dare to hide anything. He took out the severance letter signed by Huo Chengyu and handed it to Shi Mingzhu. "This is the document she signed. You can take a look. I will go back to Liang'an City with my father the day after tomorrow to transfer her household registration from my parents' name."
"My father said that he had done his best to raise her, and that he was willing to break off the relationship if it affected the harmony of the family. My mother didn't want to, and she said that she had raised her from childhood and couldn't be cruel. I scolded her, saying that when Huo Chengyu looked down on your daughter-in-law and grandson, how could she be cruel? I told her that if she continued to favor Huo Chengyu, not only would she not be able to see Yangyang, she would not be able to see me either. I hoped that she could distinguish right from wrong and make a decisive decision."
Shi Mingzhu listened quietly, took the letter of severance from his hand and took a look at it. It said: Huo Chengyu and the Huo family have decided to sever their kinship due to irreconcilable conflicts. No matter where they are in the future, they will not interfere with or infringe on each other.
Huo Chengyu signed and put his fingerprints on the document, Huo Chengfeng and others signed their names and sealed their names, and as a third party witness, the Phoenix Police Station also stamped and signed.
It was obviously something worth being happy about, but this happiness came too late. Shi Mingzhu was not happy at all. Huo Chengfeng was so fast this time, it seemed that he was really in a hurry. Now she actually feels a little sorry for the 200 yuan.
"What about Huo Chengyu? How does she react? She won't retaliate against me in the future, right?" Shi Mingzhu asked softly.
"She got the money, so she doesn't mind. I'll go back the day after tomorrow to transfer her household registration, and she'll have to go back too. She probably won't be in Pengcheng in the future. Even if she is in Pengcheng, I'll keep an eye on her and won't let her get close to you or Yangyang."
Shi Mingzhu said, "Oh," and returned the divorce certificate to him. She looked him in the eyes and said, "I still need to get the divorce certificate. I want to put a perfect end to my past absurd life."
Huo Chengfeng's pupils trembled.
