Chapter 18 Confirms the Repair of the Porcelain Kiln



Shen Qingqing looked at the gray-haired old man in front of her and shook her head: "No, Xunjin is my uncle."

Haobo said "Oh" and said, "You're Xunli's daughter? You look quite like your mother when she was little."

Shen Qingqing chatted with Hao Bo for a while before Li Xunjin finally finished his phone call and came back.

After exchanging phone numbers with the person who repaired the porcelain kiln, Li Xunjin hurriedly led Shen Qingqing back.

"Qingqing, your uncle will take you home first. I have some things to do at the company. Tell your mother about repairing the porcelain kiln, and I'll contact you later, okay?"

Shen Qingqing noticed that Li Xunjin seemed a bit off, so she nodded obediently and tentatively asked, "Uncle, is something wrong?"

As Li Xunjin drove, he said, "It's my uncle's classmate who got scammed while running a clothing company. He wants to talk to me about a collaboration."

"Isn't he in the clothing business? How come he's collaborating with my uncle?" Shen Qingqing asked, puzzled.

"He wants to find his uncle to start that clothing company with him, and he's waiting for me at the company now." Li Xunjin looked quite troubled.

Shen Qingqing pondered for a moment, feeling that there was something she could work on, but she couldn't quite figure it out yet, so she could only nod and stop asking.

The car drove all the way to Shen Qingqing's house, where Li Xunjin dropped her off and left.

As soon as Shen Qingqing entered the room, she had a close encounter with Shen Yangyang, who bumped into her stomach with a "smack".

Shen Qingqing grimaced as Shen Yangyang's head was bumped against her.

"Yangyang! Don't run around the house!"

Hearing the noise in the kitchen, Li Xunli peeked out and saw Shen Qingqing pinning Shen Yangyang to the floor in a police arrest pose.

"Qingqing! Let go of your sister! Children are fragile, you can't twist them like that!" Li Xunli scolded, then asked, "What did your uncle say?"

Shen Qingqing let go of Shen Yangyang and walked towards the kitchen. "My uncle and grandfather both agreed to repair the porcelain kiln, and today my uncle even took me to see the old man who repairs porcelain kilns!"

"But the old man said he was too old to fix it and asked my uncle to go to his son. My uncle told me to tell you that he will arrange this and call you when it's time to fix it."

Upon hearing this, Li Xunli immediately frowned. "Didn't I tell you not to let your uncle pay? Didn't you say so?"

Shen Qing washed a tomato, held it in her hand and ate it, saying vaguely, "I already said, but the money was paid by me, not by your uncle!"

Li Xunli had no reason to believe her. "Shen Qingqing! You can lie so easily now, can't you?"

"I'm not lying! I made money by buying stocks with my uncle! If you don't believe me, go look at my piggy bank. I took a thousand yuan to buy stocks with my uncle! Today, my uncle told me that he made a lot of money. It's more than enough to repair the porcelain kiln!" Shen Qingqing knew her mother wouldn't believe her.

"My uncle had promised to come home with me to prove that I really earned the money myself, but he got a call from a classmate and had to go back to the company, so he was too busy."

Shen Qingqing spoke logically and clearly, but she still failed to gain her mother's trust.

"What do you know about stocks if you're just a kid? Your uncle is spoiling you too much; he's saving your money away!" Li Xunli clicked her tongue in annoyance, regretting that she shouldn't have listened to her daughter and let her talk about it.

He immediately wiped his hands, took out his mobile phone, and called Li Xunjin.

But Li Xunjin doesn't have time right now.

The classmate who came to discuss cooperation with him was sitting in Li Xunjin's office, tears streaming down his face.

Unable to reach her by phone, Li Xunli had no choice but to glare at Shen Qingqing, who was still munching on a tomato.

Shen Qingqing ate the tomato innocently, not feeling upset about being wronged by Li Xunli. She knew that as soon as her uncle arrived, he would prove that what Li Xunli said was true.

But to Shen Qingqing's surprise, her uncle was too busy to come and vouch for her!

This directly led to Shen Qingqing's status at home plummeting, and she would be scolded by her mother for doing even the slightest thing.

On Friday night, she was even thrown into the kitchen to wash dishes.

Her dad used to do this kind of work!

Shen Qingqing was washing the dishes with a grumbling voice when she looked up at the window and saw a man in work clothes walking slowly and stopping along the way until he arrived at her door. He even raised his hand as if to knock.

She immediately shouted towards the living room, "Dad! Mom! Someone's looking for you!"

The noise was so loud that it startled the man outside the door.

The door opened quickly, and Shen Qingqing came out after rapidly washing the dishes. She heard the man introduce himself, saying, "Sister Xunli, this is Jiaming. My dad told me that your family's porcelain kiln needs repairs. I contacted Brother Xunjin, and he told me to come and find you. So I came tonight to ask if it's okay to start work tomorrow. My schedule is full next week, and I'm only free on Saturday and Sunday, but Sunday isn't a good day. I was wondering if it would be alright to start work tomorrow?"

Li Xunli paused for a moment, then quickly replied, "Okay, what time tomorrow? I'll go check it out then."

"We'll be setting up at nine tomorrow morning. I've also called a few of my buddies. We'll fix the outside door for you then too. Is that alright?"

Li Xunli would never say no. She had originally thought that she would have to find people to fix it in two batches, so she immediately thanked Li Jiaming repeatedly.

After settling the matter, Li Jiaming hurriedly left again.

Shen Rongzhou, holding Shen Hong, asked, "Who is this person?"

Li Xunli locked the door and explained to him, "I only remembered after he told me. He is the son of an old craftsman who repairs porcelain kilns in our village. When he was a child, he always followed us around. He dropped out of elementary school and went to learn how to repair porcelain kilns from Uncle Hao. I haven't seen him for many years."

After everyone had disappeared from sight, Li Xunli suddenly remembered, "Tsk, I forgot to ask him how much it cost! I'll pay my brother back later."

As he spoke, he glared at Shen Qingqing, who was standing next to him.

Shen Qingqing is truly innocent this time!!

But she also wanted to go see the porcelain kiln repair tomorrow, as she had never seen one before in her life!

So, a strong woman can be flexible and adaptable. Shen Qingqing decisively clung to her mother's leg and pleaded, "Mom, I want to go tomorrow too!"

Without even thinking, Li Xunli refused her: "No, you and Yangyang stay at home."

"I'll go with Yangyang! We won't run around, we'll just follow you, really, I promise!" Shen Qingqing used all her charm to beg her mother to agree.

Finally, after Shen Qingqing's persistent efforts, Li Xunli agreed, exclaiming, "How could I have given birth to such a clingy person like you!"

Shen Qingqing chuckled, offering no rebuttal.

Before leaving on Saturday morning, Li Xunli specifically instructed Shen Qingqing to keep an eye on Shen Yangyang, and that she could only watch from outside and not go into the kiln with them.

Shen Qingqing pressed Shen Yangyang's head down with her hand, and the two sisters nodded in unison, "Don't worry, Mom!"

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at her family's porcelain kiln, they finally met her uncle whom she hadn't seen for several days!
