Li Yutong only found out that Shen Jiaze was gone the next day.

He Mingliang came specially to tell her.

Li Yutong was flipping through a book: "I understand."

He Mingliang was anxious: "Aren't you sad?"

Before getting in the car, Shen Jiaze asked him to look after Li Yutong, and to help her if she had any difficulties, and to call him if she couldn't do it herself.

He shoulders a "heavy responsibility", why does Li Yutong react so calmly?

Li Yutong was also sad in her heart. She had to part with such a good friend, and she didn't know if she would see him again in her lifetime. He had helped her a lot.

But: "People like him will leave sooner or later. I have been mentally prepared for this."

He Mingliang looked at Li Yutong's calm state and felt aggrieved. As an outsider, he was more anxious than the other two.

Is this what they call, the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is?

Since Li Yutong didn't say anything, why was he still immersed in his past relationships? Instead of being immersed in the past, he might as well look forward to the future. By the way, he still had to study hard.

The two of them studied with peace of mind.

In her spare time, Li Yutong's grandmother Chen Xiaoying took a fancy to a shop in front of the county health center. The shops here can be rented out quickly as long as they are put on the market. She only found a store located at the corner.

Perhaps because you have to go up four or five steps and it is located on a corner, the noise in this noodle shop is quite ordinary.

Chen Xiaoying had some money and rented a store in this place for two thousand eight hundred yuan a month.

It was quite cheap, and Chen Xiaoying needed some of the things inside, so the seller kept them. He said that he and his family were planning to work outside, and he didn't dare to open a shop again.

The 1990s was the time when the trend of migrant workers began to emerge.

After finding a store, Chen Xiaoying promptly found the workers who had helped to decorate the store before and renovated it into a second Chen Li Restaurant.

After the decoration was completed, Chen Xiaoying brought Li Yutong to see it.

"How is it? The milk is good, right?" Chen Xiaoying asked with a smile.

Li Yutong also smiled: "It's really good. Now we need to recruit workers. We have to recruit at least two people."

The original wallpaper and tables and chairs in the store were not moved. Only a long counter for selling buns and the most important store sign were added.

"Grandma, you don't have to worry about my aunt not being able to run this store all of a sudden. You can stay here for half a month first, and then I'll have summer vacation. You can go back to the old store then, and I'll help my aunt look after this store."

"That's what I think too." Chen Xiaoying thought and sighed, "It would be great if we opened this store earlier."

"Look, there is a primary school and a middle school nearby. It's summer vacation now, and the flow of people has dropped by more than half."

She didn't open the store on impulse. If she opened the store at this time, she would definitely make money. She just felt sorry that the students were on summer vacation and she would earn less.

Li Yutong thought about it, stood at the door of the store and looked around, then said, "Nah, it's not necessarily that the flow of people will be much different. Look around here, there are a lot of second- and third-story windows with interest class recruitment advertisements posted on them."

At this time, many people have realized the importance of learning, especially those who have the means. In dual-income families with no one to look after the children, they basically send their children to various interest classes.

English classes, math classes, composition classes, etc.

He Mingliang's family has already found teachers in various subjects to provide him with one-on-one tutoring.

Chen Xiaoying thought about it and realized that this was the truth.

Chen Xiaoying did not hide the fact that she opened a second store from anyone, and the villagers had been secretly making fun of Li Pingwang during this period.

If someone has a rich old woman, everyone will be afraid that the old woman will become rich and kick out the old men in the village.

But he was so stupid that he dumped his rich old wife first.

There are people who just want to laugh at him and say this in front of him.

"Pingwang, Xiaoying has opened a new store, why don't you go and help her?" After saying that, he immediately said, "Oh, how could I forget that you two have divorced a long time ago, and you are living your own lives. Why am I telling you this? It has nothing to do with you."

Yes, it doesn’t matter, so the money others earn in the future will have nothing to do with him.

Li Pingwang went back home with a sullen face.

He began to suspect that Chen Xiaoying had kept some money secretly, which she had not shared with him when they divorced.

He thought so, but they were already divorced and there was no evidence. Could he still go to her to ask for the money back?

He felt that this was impossible.

After hearing the news, the eldest daughter Li Hongyan thought the same and hurried to find him.

"Dad, did you know that my mom opened a shop?" she asked hurriedly after getting off the bicycle.

Li Pingwang was sitting on a chair weaving brooms. He couldn't bear to buy them at the market, so he always made them himself. After making seven or eight, he would carry them on his back and sell them at the market.

It’s sold for what it costs.

"I know. They told me." He tied the rope on the broom handle: "I don't care about her. Her affairs have nothing to do with me in the future. Don't talk about it in front of me."

It seemed that her father was really angry. Someone must have laughed at him in front of him.

In fact, if she changed her position, Li Hongyan felt that if this happened to someone else, she would also be one of the people who were laughed at.

She had selfish motives and instigated her parents to divorce just to get through her own difficulties.

Now, of course, she regretted letting her father and mother divorce, because when she wanted something, no one helped her and her mother to ask for it.

"Okay then, I just came back to see you, Dad. Since you can think it through, I feel relieved." Li Hongyan said, her mind clattering with calculations.

"In fact, you don't have to be afraid that she will make money but you can't spend it. Think about it, my mother is an old woman, how much money can she spend? No matter how much she makes, it is inherited by the eldest sons. The sons are still your sons. You can still use her money to enjoy a good life in the future, right?"

Isn’t that the truth?

Li Pingwang snorted, "Of course. I raised Hongwei and the others. It's their duty to provide for my old age."

Seeing that her father understood the situation, Li Hongyan left with peace of mind.

Li Hongyan returned home and thought over and over again. She felt that she couldn't just let it go like this. Her mother was rich, and there was no reason for her, her biological daughter, to not get any benefit from it.

Her husband Zhao Faliang saw through his mother-in-law Chen Xiaoying: "Forget it. You have been struggling for several years, but have you ever gotten a penny? Look at this time, your house has been smashed by loan sharks, and your mother doesn't care whether you live or die."

There was a lot of resentment in his tone, especially when he found out that ten thousand yuan was missing from his wife's savings account. He was so anxious that he couldn't sleep all night.

It's also infuriating.

Other people's mothers, when they have the ability, always want to help their children. However, his mother-in-law is patriarchal and only has eyes for her sons. She doesn't want to help her eldest daughter at all.

“If you hadn’t fallen out with your mom, you could have been the boss of this store,” he said.
