This isn't for their new store's inventory; it's probably enough for her and Han Shiping's retirement for the rest of their lives!
Guo Mingli is quite sensible in this regard. She knows very well that if Han Shiping secretly gave their savings to the Han family's patriarch and matriarch, she would probably have to file for divorce even at her advanced age.
This is completely different from being filial to one's parents and buying them supplements or clothes.
"Don't worry, Xiaoxiao asked me to give you this money," Han Yunqi said proudly.
He has no idea how many lifetimes of good fortune he has accumulated to have such an understanding and considerate wife.
"Oh my, my daughter-in-law...tsk tsk." Guo Mingli smiled, her eyes crinkling. "My son is really capable, he has better taste than your father!"
Han Yunqi...
Mom, are you trying to discredit my dad or yourself?
Han Shiping...
Why pull one down while putting down another?
......
Tang Xiaoxiao did indeed ask Han Yunqi for the money. There were many expenses related to relocating the shop, and she wasn't short of money now, so why wait for her in-laws to ask before giving her the money? That would seem so inconsiderate.
From the moment she was reborn and decided to be with Han Yunqi again, she had already planned how to deal with her mother-in-law, Guo Mingli.
She doesn't know how much trouble she would save by keeping her mother-in-law and father-in-law busy with their own things and reducing their time to worry about their son and daughter-in-law's lives.
Moreover, neither Han Shiping nor Guo Mingli are greedy people, and they are genuinely good to their son, Han Yunqi.
Problems that can be solved with money aren't really problems. Now she can say that with her head held high.
That feels so good.
The relocation of Han's building materials business has attracted the attention of many merchants in the old market. Familiar shopkeepers have been coming to inquire about it frequently these days. Guo Mingli and Cai's wife across the street have been at odds for the past two years, which has been noticed by the neighbors. Naturally, many people have started to speculate about that aspect.
"Sister-in-law Han, why are you suddenly moving? Is it because...?" A woman in her thirties stood at the entrance of the Han family's shop, her face full of gossip. She winked at Guo Mingli and then grimaced at the Cai family across the street.
“No, that’s not true. My husband, Lao Han, has been talking about expanding the business for years, but there’s just no room anywhere, so we couldn’t expand even if we wanted to. Plus, we’re short on money, so we haven’t moved yet.” Guo Mingli said with a beaming smile, “Now my son and daughter-in-law are offering to pay for it, and they insist that my husband and I move in. We can’t refuse their good intentions.”
What she said wasn't entirely false. The market's demolition was still a few years away, and there hadn't been any word about it yet. Guo Mingli was aware of this, and she didn't say a word that shouldn't be said.
“I told you so,” the woman raised her voice dramatically, “They’re a bunch of outsiders, they have no right to bully us locals. If anyone should move, it should be them!”
Guo Mingli smiled but didn't respond to her question.
This woman was the same shopkeeper who had kindly called the police when the Cai family's daughter-in-law was being beaten. Instead of being thanked, she got herself into trouble, and the feud was now very serious. She hated the Cai family even more than Guo Mingli did.
The woman rolled her eyes and said mysteriously, "I heard that Cai Gao has taken a liking to the son of the Zhang family in the west and wants to marry his daughter to them, but the Zhang family has not agreed."
The inside story of the feud between the Han and Cai families is not well known to people in the market. Guo Mingli and Han Shiping did not gossip about it. After all, the Cai family is the woman's family, and even if such a thing were to be said, it would only affect their own daughter's reputation, so they did not publicize it.
