Liu Lanxiang didn't know what Zhao Xueyan, the third brother's sister-in-law, was thinking, so she just said, "Oh, nothing."
Even though she had this in mind, she didn't dare let her know. If she secretly told everyone about it, everyone in the family would know about it.
My goodness, sister-in-law Li Hongyan was the first to pounce on him.
Even if she couldn't get any advantage herself, she would instigate a few brothers who listened to her to come and look for trouble at her house.
She did not forget that when the hot pot restaurant was first opened, they listened to Li Hongyan and insisted that the hot pot restaurant was actually opened by her mother-in-law and was named after Xiaoyu. She insisted on making things clear about the hot pot restaurant.
Let's make it clear, how to run a hot pot restaurant, do they know? They don't know, what we are talking about is who should get the money earned by the hot pot restaurant.
Thinking of this, she got angry.
A bunch of lazy people, they don't know how to earn money themselves, they just watch her family earn money and then take the money for themselves.
Chen Xiaoying's breakfast shop has always had good business. By ten o'clock, all the food is sold out.
She then called the eldest brother, Li Hongwei: "Boss, is there something wrong at home?"
Li Hongwei and his wife Liu Lanxiang looked at each other. The couple had already discussed this matter when they came that they had to talk about it quietly and not let others know.
"Mom, there's something going on. Let's go talk."
When Chen Xiaoying heard this, she knew something was wrong.
Not far from the hotel was the small People's Park. There weren't many people there at the time, so she found a secluded spot under a tree and asked.
Li Hongwei then spoke: "Mom, I heard that the county is going to open a food factory. Is this true?"
His mother Chen Xiaoying nodded: "It's true."
He didn't want to hide it from his son, but he couldn't. His granddaughter Li Yutong had a lot of things to do, and he, as a father, would know sooner or later.
Liu Lanxiang was impatient and asked immediately, "I heard that the food factory seems to mainly produce the hot pot ingredients that Xiaoyu made? Is this true?"
Chen Xiaoying looked at the couple, a little surprised: "How did you know? Who told you?"
Liu Lanxiang then told her what her elder sister Liu Meixiang had told her. Of course, she didn't want to tell her now that her brother Liu Jianshe wanted to work in the food factory.
It turned out that it was Liu Meixiang who said that.
Liu Meixiang is educated and knowledgeable. She is the eldest daughter that Old Lady Liu values the most. Now she is the vice principal of an experimental primary school. She has a wide social circle, so it is normal for her to hear this news.
Chen Xiaoying nodded: "That's what I said."
Li Hongwei and Liu Lanxiang were dumbfounded. Oh my God, this was true.
The couple was in a daze for a while, and Li Hongwei subconsciously cursed: "How can Xiaoyu be so bold? She dares to get involved in such a big thing as the food factory. Isn't she afraid of being cheated?"
"Mom, you too, why didn't you tell us."
Chen Xiaoying was complained about, so she gave him a cold look and said, "Xiaoyu is much smarter than you two. The food factory matter was led by the county leader, Secretary He. It's a key development project in the county. Why would they cheat a girl like her? The food factory has to invest a lot of money, and the county has to pay for it. It's agreed that Xiaoyu only needs to provide technology and get a portion of the shares."
At this point, Li Hongwei and his wife no longer quite understood.
"Will this work? Will anything go wrong in the future?"
Although the couple are farmers in the village, they have bought a TV at home. When they watch TV in the evening, they not only watch the news broadcast, but also occasionally watch Today's Statement and legal education programs.
Some honest people were cheated by their relatives in this way. The relative said that he would work for him and open a company under his name. But in the end, it turned out that the company was engaged in fraud and illegal activities. The relative took the money and ran away. The person whose name was written on the contract had to bear legal responsibility and was sent to jail.
The more he thought about it, the more panicked Li Hongwei became.
Chen Xiaoying knew it, but she couldn't explain it to her eldest son, so she could only explain to him: "Don't worry, it's just a serious business. Xiaoyu provides the technology, and the county provides the funds and labor. Xiaoyu doesn't need to worry about anything else. It's enough to just collect the money throughout the year."
Speaking of money.
Li Hongwei and Liu Lanxiang were startled. Oh, how come they forgot to ask about the money from the beginning to the end.
"Mom, where's the money? Did they give it to Xiaoyu?" Li Hongwei asked hurriedly, "How much money did the county give Xiaoyu?"
Chen Xiaoying looked at Li Hongwei. Based on her understanding of her eldest son, if he knew Xiaoyu had such a large sum of money, he would definitely save it so that he could see it every day.
"I've bought the shop." She said, "It's already been bought and the contract has been signed. You two can just wait and enjoy the good life in the future."
Li Hongwei and Liu Lanxiang were dumbfounded again. They really received too much information today.
My daughter cooperated with the county to open a food factory, and she used all the money to buy a shop. Buying a shop means a lot of money.
"Where did you buy it? How much did it cost?" Liu Lanxiang came to her senses and asked hurriedly.
Chen Xiaoying did not hide it and mentioned a few places.
Liu Lanxiang widened her eyes and looked quickly at her man Li Hongwei.
Li Hongwei's face turned pale and blue, angry and happy at the same time, all kinds of emotions mixed together: "Xiaoyu should have told me."
He complained that his daughter didn't discuss these two matters with him at such an old age, and that she didn't even have him as her father. But he also felt that his daughter didn't spend the money indiscriminately, and that buying a shop and collecting rent was a good thing for a villager, which meant that she would never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of her life.
"You two should stick to this matter and never tell anyone about it," Chen Xiaoying warned them.
Li Hongwei and Liu Lanxiang nodded repeatedly.
"No, no."
Most people laugh at poor people and hate rich people. When they are down on their luck, people laugh at them and look down on them. When they become rich, some people's attitudes change and they become more enthusiastic, but there are still people who say bad things about them behind their backs.
The couple got the accurate information and didn't even bother to go back to the breakfast shop to eat. Instead, they ran to see the other three shops to estimate how much rent they could collect in a year.
Chen Xiaoying then returned to the breakfast shop, and her third daughter-in-law Zhao Xueyan asked, "Mom, what is the matter with my eldest brother and sister-in-law coming here?"
Chen Xiaoying glanced at her and said, "Just work hard. You won't have to pay the mortgage next month?"
Speaking of mortgages, Zhao Xueyan had no time to think about what her elder brother and sister-in-law were doing. She started to worry: "Mom, why don't you call the third brother and ask him to pay me half of the monthly mortgage. Otherwise, I won't have much left after paying the mortgage, and I still have to take care of Yujie's schooling."
Chen Xiaoying knew that the third brother was not honest in paying back the mortgage. In the first few months, he still paid back the money, but later when Zhao Xueyan didn't want it, he refused to pay.
In all likelihood, he either gave the money to his elder sister Li Hongyan, or he started playing around with the money over there.
It was like this in his previous life. When he had some money, he would drink and play cards. Later, he was cheated of his money by an unclean woman outside. His mistress broke his legs and he stayed in the hospital for half a month.
