Chapter 47: Recruiting people to keep an eye on

The old lady's voice was heard outside the door.

Jiang Mingyue quickly came to her senses, stood up and went to open the door for the old lady.

"Grandma, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Grandma has something to tell you."

Seeing that it was getting late, the old lady stopped beating around the bush and just said what she wanted to say.

What she wanted to say was actually what Jiang Mingyue had been thinking about before.

The question is how to solve the problem of Gu Dongqing running in the morning and evening.

"I've discussed this with your grandfather. You can either have a party, call your eldest sister and the others back, have a meal together, and then let Dongzi stay at his house, or you can go to the town with him."

"It's not suitable to keep running back and forth like this. Your body can't handle it, and neither can his body."

Although getting a marriage certificate is now recognized by the law, most people still think that a wedding banquet is the real marriage.

Jiang Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "His house in town is being renovated, so it might not be appropriate for him to move in. I'll talk to him tomorrow and let him stay at our house."

Gu Dongqing came to the village every day to pick her up and drop her off, and helped with farm work at home. Other people in the village also knew about it.

There's nothing wrong with letting him stay at home again.

"Then I will clean up the guest room tomorrow." said the old lady.

Jiang Mingyue nodded and said, "Thank you, grandma. You've worked hard."

"It's not hard for me. I'm happy to see you guys living well."

The next day, Gu Dongqing arrived at their house at five o'clock as usual.

It is now November in the solar calendar and mid-October in the lunar calendar. The weather has become a little cooler. Jiang Mingyue cooked some steaming vermicelli soup for breakfast.

Vermicelli soup is paired with steamed dumplings and xiaolongbao, which are also freshly steamed.

A sip of soup, a bite of steamed dumpling, it tastes great.

Afraid that he wouldn’t have enough to eat, Jiang Mingyue also fried a dish of bacon.

The baby in her belly has been more than three months old, and her belly is already slightly bulging. While she was busy in front, Gu Dongqing was extremely nervous.

Tell her not to move, just sit there and let him do it.

Jiang Mingyue didn't think there was anything wrong with her body.

Since she got the tricycle, although it has been a bit harder, she still earns at least one hundred yuan a day.

The most she earned in a single day a few days ago was two hundred dollars excluding the original investment.

She was busy from morning to afternoon that day, making thousands of dumplings. When she got home, her wrists were so stiff that she could not lift them.

But fortunately, after a night's rest, I recovered the next day.

Gu Dongqing couldn't bear to see her working so hard, so he asked her to rent a shop on the street so that she could have more convenience during the day.

Jiang Mingyue refused.

It is not the time to rent a shop yet, so she decides not to rent one for now and will just run the stall for a while every day.

After breakfast, Gu Dongqing rode his bike and took Jiang Mingyue and the old lady out.

He left the bicycle he rode at home. When it was daybreak and Jiang Manyue went to school, his grandfather would ride it to the town to help Jiang Mingyue sell things.

Jiang Mingyue’s steamed dumplings are now selling well. She also makes fried dumplings, steamed buns, and taro cakes. As she sells more things, she needs more manpower.

The old lady, Gu Dongqing and the other three are sometimes too busy to handle everything.

It just so happens that we are not too busy with farm work at home, so it is just right for grandpa to come and help.

When they arrived in the town, Gu Dongqing went to set up the stall, Jiang Mingyue put the sign outside, and the old lady cooked soy milk.

The three of them began to work in an orderly manner.

Almost as soon as she put the frying pan on the stove, customers came up to line up.

Her current stall is still on Wuyi Road.

Some time ago, the Shi couple slashed prices on Wuyi Road, which not only ruined the market, but also caused many people to have diarrhea because they used leftover food.

Disdained by their peers and insulted by their customers, their business plummeted and they finally had to leave Wuyi Road in disgrace.

As soon as they left, Gu Dongqing set up a shed at that location, completely occupying the place.

Although other business people were jealous of the position occupied by Jiang Mingyue, they also knew that Jiang Mingyue's food was delicious and she could attract a lot of customers there. When those customers came in, they would also look around.

It also boosted the business of their stall.

So everyone tacitly acknowledged that the first spot belonged to Jiang Mingyue, and no one had any evil intentions to snatch it away.

Jiang Mingyue's stall has also expanded from the original two tables to the current five tables.

Steamed dumplings, a small basket contains eight, 40 cents a basket, plus another 10 cents for a large bowl of soy milk.

For only fifty cents, you can have breakfast here.

It was almost nine o'clock when the old man arrived at the stall on his bicycle.

Jiang Mingyue has sold nearly 200 baskets of steamed buns and dumplings.

The extra-large pot of soy milk was full and all was sold out.

The old man parked his bicycle aside and limped over to wash the cage beside him.

Jiang Mingyue sat on the stool that Gu Dongqing had specially customized for her. The stool had a soft surface and a waist support, which was also tied with a sponge pad.

There were only two customers in front of the stall now. Jiang Mingyue prepared what they ordered and handed it to them, then stood up and walked around.

By the way, I want to ask grandpa if he has had breakfast?

"I ate. You stayed at home. Si Ya and I ate together before we went out."

Jiang Manyue was attending primary school in the village. Old Man Jiang sent her to school and then came to the town.

When he was sending his granddaughter to school, he also met his good-for-nothing second son.

The other person looked at him riding a bicycle and came forward to talk, but Old Man Jiang snorted coldly and didn't even look at him.

Even though he is old, he is not senile yet.

The second brother's family has been jumping around in front of him recently, but they are just eyeing the second girl's business.

You don't even admit it, but you still say you're filial to him?

The old man couldn't help but sneer when he thought of this. The second son's family really thought he was old and useless. He couldn't figure out what tricks they were up to.

Oh……

While helping with the washing, Grandpa Jiang mentioned the matter of the second wife to his wife. Grandma Jiang was much angrier than Grandpa Jiang.

"Don't mention those two shallow-minded people to me. For so many years, they ignored us, and they also turned a blind eye to their own niece and watched her die without helping her. Now they have the nerve to come up to me again?"

“Who gave them the face?”

The old lady gets angry when she mentions her second son.

She didn't like Zhao Meihua, and she disliked her second son even more.

In the old lady's view, if her daughter-in-law is unfilial, it is not her fault, because she is an outsider after all.

But if the son is unfilial, then I cannot tolerate it.

Her son is a piece of her flesh and blood, so how could she ignore his own parents?

Of course, the old lady didn't expect Jiang Congwen to give her money or buy her meat or something.

She was just thinking, when Si Ya was dying and they went to Jiang Congwen to borrow two dollars to go to the hospital, how could Jiang Congwen be so heartless and not even open the door for them?

This incident was like a thorn that stayed in the old lady's heart for the rest of her life.

While the old couple were talking about the second branch of the Jiang family, the Jiang couple were also discussing it.

"Those old guys are our parents. They go to town every day to help that stinky girl Jiang Mingyue. They must have learned some of that little girl's skills, right?"
