Chapter 123 It’s too late to regret
He Xiangju's hands were shaking a little at this time. Although she could make money, she also knew that her shop had no special features. If there was competition in the future, she would have no advantage.
She is not a professional, she just helps people to adjust the hems of their pants and change the size, she has never done any work of making clothes.
Thinking of the clothing drawings drawn by Ai Xiaoxia and then the clothes Ai Xiaoxia was wearing, He Xiangju regretted it so much.
If I had a good relationship with Ai Xiaoxia, if I hadn't said those things today, could I still ask her to help me get some new clothing styles? But today I completely offended her.
Seeing that she was silent, Liu Hao asked her, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so worried today?"
He Xiangju didn't know how to tell her husband that Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen didn't gossip about anything and didn't say anything to Liu Hao, but Liu Hao could quickly sense their indifference. What should she say then?
After thinking about this, she felt that she should come clean with Liu Hao. She looked at him and said, "Liu Hao, I did something wrong. I might have offended my sister-in-law."
Liu Hao was somewhat surprised, because in his mind, He Xiangju was the most innocent person. He asked, "What's going on?"
He Xiangju didn't dare to mention what happened to Fang Ling, she only talked about the boasting she said in front of Ai Xiaoxia today.
She then explained: "I really don't mean anything else. I just made some money recently and I felt like showing off a little bit, but I'm not targeting my sister-in-law."
After listening to this, Liu Hao sighed deeply. "You said you were offended, which proves that what you said was not nice. He Xiangju, I always thought you were smart and honest. I really didn't expect you... How can I get along with Lu Gong in the future?"
He Xiangju was also anxious: "Why don't we go and apologize? I realize my mistake."
Liu Hao shook his head. "You've already done it, and now you're apologizing? You know he's capable, but are you going to apologize or curry favor? How will he view you?"
He Xiangju was silent. It was true. She squatted on the ground, feeling aggrieved. She came from the countryside, with no skills or support. Wasn't she just looking for stability? She had been helpless about what had happened with Fang Ling before. Was it wrong for her not to want to offend anyone?
I didn't say anything this time, did I? I was just showing off, so why is it like this?
I'm a down-to-earth person and I haven't done anything to harm anyone, so is it really that wrong? It's as if I've done something utterly evil.
But why do I feel so uneasy and scared?
Their neighbor Fang Ling was even more depressed, fearing that her husband would scold her.
But Chen Wenxing didn't seem to react that much. He sneered and said to himself, "We're not destined to climb high and mighty branches, so let's just be down-to-earth. Fang Ling, I beg you, just don't get into trouble again."
What else could Fang Ling say? She quickly nodded, "I know, I know. Don't worry. I promise I won't go out unless necessary, and I'll take good care of the child."
"Just know it, and remember this time. Not everyone can be offended."
"Well, don't worry, I will definitely change it. I was wrong."
"Forget it, I won't say any more. You saw it yourself anyway, so be more careful next time."
After that, the two fell into silence. After Fang Ling knew that Ai Xiaoxia was so capable, she was really panicked. In fact, she was more afraid of Ai Xiaoxia's revenge.
The next morning, Ai Xiaoxia went to a nearby high school to ask if there were any houses for rent. It was the holiday season and many houses were about to be vacant, so she quickly found one.
Ai Xiaoxia went to take a look and found that this one was not suitable because it was rented as a whole. She wanted to rent a room with a roommate, otherwise she was worried that Li Wensong would be unsafe alone.
I looked at two more and finally found a suitable one. The landlords were an elderly couple who did not live with their children, so they had a room for rent, but they could not move in until the previous student moved out during the holidays.
This is not a problem, because the holiday will be in another week. Even if Li Wensong stays at home for a few more days, the child has never had such an easy time. These few days can be considered a good opportunity for him to have fun.
After finding a house, Ai Xiaoxia returned to the store and took out some coupons. In fact, giving these coupons to Ma Jiahong would benefit herself. News spreads quickly in the teacher's circle. It is estimated that these customers will come to the store to eat in a few days. If these customers are maintained well, they will become a regular consumer group in the future.
At noon, Ai Xiaoxia talked to Lu Jingshen about renting a house, and naturally there was no objection.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Ma Jiahong arrived.
Ai Xiaoxia invited her into the house. Ma Jiahong came from a wealthy family, so she was considered a knowledgeable person. However, after seeing the decoration of Ai Xiaoxia's house, she still admired and appreciated it.
Ai Xiaoxia asked her to sit down and handed her ten coupons: "You can use these for your colleagues. Your sister-in-law can go to the store to get a discount directly, so she won't need these."
Ma Jiahong was very happy: "Really? Then I won't be polite. Yesterday I told our old Wu that Mr. Lu really married a good wife. She is beautiful and capable."
Ai Xiaoxia poured a glass of water for Ma Jiahong: "Sister-in-law, you are too kind. My family has a lot of troubles. In fact, Jing Shen has suffered a lot since he married me."
"You're truly remarkable for running such a big business without any help from your family. Honestly, I'm a bit ashamed. My family's financial situation isn't bad, so I haven't had many setbacks, but I haven't had much drive in life either. I envy ambitious girls like you, but unfortunately, everything is arranged for me by my family, so I'm left with this."
"Your life is something most people envy. How wonderful is it to live a stable life like this? It's not that easy to rely on yourself. I only have a good platform because I married Jing Shen. If I had always been in the countryside, I might not know what it's like outside."
"You're right. I'm actually quite content. I don't have much to worry about. Although my life is ordinary, I haven't suffered much."
"Yes, people should learn to be content. What makes me most satisfied is marrying Jingshen." As she spoke, Ai Xiaoxia blushed.
Ma Jiahong looked at Ai Xiaoxia with a smile: "After all, it's different for newlyweds. They're not like us old couples who miss each other so much."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and said, "It was the same when you first got married."
Recalling the time when they first got married, Ma Jiahong's face was filled with a different kind of happiness: "At that time, he had just come from the countryside, a silly boy, and now he has become a middle-aged old man."
"So this is the best time you spent with him. I have to cherish this time too."
"Cherish it. The years of youth pass quickly. Once you have children, many things will be different. Now that it's just the two of you, you really have to cherish this time."
"Yeah, I thought so too."
"I didn't like coming back before because Fang Ling, my neighbor, was so tactless. She brought her kids over to make a scene every day. I couldn't stand it, so I quit living here. Yesterday, I heard about the barbecue restaurant you opened, so I came back out of curiosity to take a look. Thank goodness I was so curious, otherwise I would have almost missed the opportunity to make friends with you."
