Judging from Jiang Hai's past behavior, she still chose to believe him.
"real."
Jiang Hai, who didn't even bother to prepare a lie, immediately said, "Actually, Beiping and I were discussing the opening of Xiaoxin Restaurant. It's going to open right after the New Year. We've been quite busy lately, so we were wondering if you, Auntie, could lend a hand, since we also have to arrange for the construction of our new house here."
He rattled off a whole bunch of things.
Ye Beiping and the other two were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. They never expected Jiang Hai to reveal the truth like that.
Upon hearing this, Tao Qiuyan belatedly realized and muttered, "How could I have forgotten about this?"
Then he asked Ye Beiping, "When will your restaurant open? I was thinking of having Xiaoxin do the cleaning, but I'm afraid she won't be able to manage it all by herself."
After thinking about it, he sighed again.
Originally, Tao Qiuyan did not plan to go to Hangzhou again when she returned to Pingba Village, because she felt that she could not help much even if she was there.
Aunt Li took care of cooking and looking after Su Xinyi.
She didn't know much about business, and she spent her days locked in a small room, afraid of getting lost if she went out for a walk.
The only place I could relax was when I went grocery shopping with Aunt Li.
This is no different from being in jail; I just get to go out for some fresh air every day.
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Ye Beiping's eyes lit up and he said, "It will probably be after the fifteenth. My sister will probably be busy recruiting people, cleaning, arranging work, setting prices for some vegetables, and so on these next few days. She'll be quite busy."
"There are only Jiang He and Tang Xiaolong in Hangzhou right now. I asked Sister Zhou to go and help, but I don't think it will be enough for the two of them. After all, Sister Zhou has no obligation to help my sister all the time."
Seeing that there was hope, he started talking more.
Try to emphasize how difficult and challenging Ye Xiaoxin's situation is.
Tao Qiuyan seemed to remember something and asked, "Where is Xinyi now that you're back?"
She had intended to ask in the afternoon, but she got busy and forgot.
My memory has been getting worse lately.
Ye Beiping frowned when he heard Tao Qiuyan suddenly change the subject.
But after thinking about it, I realized that I had gone to great lengths to persuade my elderly mother to go to Hangzhou, so I had to make it sound as pitiful as possible.
“Xinyi is in Hangzhou. It’s too tiring to travel back and forth by car. When she returned to Hangzhou, she had back pain and stayed at home for a whole day.”
"You, how could you leave her alone in Hangzhou? Who will take care of her?" Tao Qiuyan became anxious as soon as she heard that Su Xinyi had back pain, fearing that something might have happened.
Especially since Ye Xiaoxin is busy with the restaurant during the day, Aunt Li is definitely still at home celebrating the New Year.
This made Tao Qiuyan so anxious that she almost pointed at Ye Beiping and gave him a good scolding.
Ye Beiping feigned grievance and said, "There's no other way. I need to take care of the new house here, otherwise I won't have time to deal with things here when I get busy with business in Hangzhou. I can only take care of the new house first."
"The three most important events in life are marriage, funerals, and then a new house."
"Alright, alright." Tao Qiuyan was getting a headache from Ye Beiping's words, so she immediately waved her hand and said, "Just tell me what to do now."
Ye Beiping glanced at the other three and smiled as if his wicked scheme had succeeded.
"Mom, it would be great if you could go to Hangzhou to take care of Xinyi or help my sister."
“Yes, yes, yes.” Jiang Hai immediately chimed in after Ye Beiping’s prompting look: “Auntie, I’ve heard that opening a restaurant is a very tiring job. There’s a lot of work to be done in the early stages, and just training the staff is not an easy task.”
Upon hearing this, Tao Qiuyan completely forgot her promise not to go to Hangzhou.
Immediately, he asked anxiously, "When are we going?"
This attitude almost made Ye Beiping and his three companions burst out laughing. If they were human traffickers, kidnapping Tao Qiuyan would be a piece of cake.
Ye Beiping was surprised that his elderly mother had no suspicions whatsoever.
He pretended to think for a moment and said, "Mom, I'm free tomorrow. How about I take you there tomorrow?"
"No, let's not."
Tao Qiuyan thought about it and realized that Ye Beiping's driving back and forth would cost money, and a car isn't something you can just drive around indefinitely. Besides, it would exhaust her son. "You take me to the station, and I'll take the train. That way, you won't have to run around like that."
The group around the brazier exchanged glances, each with a hint of amusement in their eyes. Ye Beiping immediately suppressed it and nodded, "Alright, Mom, you should get up early tomorrow so we can leave early and not miss the train."
"Alright, alright." Tao Qiuyan waved her hand and went to get a drink of water.
