Chen Xiaoying and Li Yutong, both the grandmother and the granddaughter, did not want Zhao Pengfei, who had high expectations but low skills, to work in their store.

Zhao Pengfei had been cunning since he was a child, and he was very good at reading people's faces. He quickly realized that his grandmother was rejecting him.

He was unhappy: "Grandma, do you want to help me? If you don't want to help me, just say it directly, don't hide it, and I won't force you."

Zhao Pengfei is a man of no ability, but he has a bad temper. His face turned ugly when he saw him.

Li Yutong knew that it was not good for her to be here, so she simply made an excuse: "Cousin, please talk to my grandma, I have something to do over there."

Zhao Pengfei looked down on Li Yutong from the beginning, and was jealous of her for being able to open so many stores as a girl. It was said that she had even bought several shops.

He said, "Xiao Yu, your cousin has been very good to you since you were a child. I heard that you sold your shop. How about this? I will work for my grandma in the future and help you collect rent part-time. As for the salary, you decide on the amount. How about it?"

His words stunned Chen Xiaoying and Li Yutong, both the grandparents and grandchildren.

It turned out that he not only came to look for his grandmother, but also plotted against Li Yutong.

Li Yutong and her grandmother Chen Xiaoying looked at each other and said directly: "Cousin, put yourself in my shoes. If you were me, would I help you collect the rent? Is that okay?"

"Cousin, I haven't done anything yet. I just have one or two shops and I hire someone to collect rent. People who don't know me would think I've made a fortune and am getting carried away. Forget it. I think you are a man of ambition, and a small place like mine will only limit your talent."

Her words sounded nice, but Zhao Pengfei actually thought so in his heart. With his ability, being the manager of a steamed bun shop or a hot pot restaurant, he is actually just selling food, right?

What is the future?

But he didn't have enough money to marry a wife, right? His mother asked him to come, so he came to try.

After Li Yutong left, Zhao Pengfei immediately pestered Chen Xiaoying, "Grandma, please help me. I'm 22 years old, I don't have a house, and I haven't married yet. What should I do in the future? Can you just watch me be a bachelor?"

Being single is not a good thing and people will laugh at you in rural areas.

Chen Xiaoying had her own thoughts in mind, and she said to Zhao Pengfei sincerely, "Pengfei, grandma wants to help you, but I'm just your grandma. In addition to your parents, you also have your grandma and your grandpa above you. As a grandma, I shouldn't interfere in your Zhao family's affairs."

Zhao Pengfei frowned: "Grandma, what do you mean?"

"Pengfei, tell grandma what you want to do in the future. Even if you want to learn a skill, grandma will pay for your tuition for two years. If you study hard, you can still support yourself with your skills in the future." Chen Xiaoying said.

When Zhao Pengfei heard this, his eyes turned and he said, "Grandma, can you help me pay for the tuition?"

Chen Xiaoying nodded: "Sure, when you make money in the future, you can pay it back to me."

Zhao Pengfei's face was not looking good again: "Grandma, this little money is nothing to your stores. Do you want me to pay it back in the future?"

In fact, Chen Xiaoying didn't want him to pay it back. It was because he and his mother Li Hongyan were the kind of people who would expect you to pay them back if you gave them one dollar, and to pay them back if you gave them one hundred dollars, and they would expect you to pay them back a thousand dollars, and they never feel grateful.

She said she wanted to pay the money back because she wanted him to remember that this money was not something she, as a grandmother, should take.

But she couldn't say it directly, so she could only say: "Pengfei, when you learn the skills and make a lot of money, this little money will be nothing."

Zhao Pengfei looked at her and could only leave in disappointment.

Zhao Pengfei was angry and did not go home. He immediately found a few brothers in the county town to drink together, and complained while drinking that his grandmother and his cousin did not help him.

He spent his days hanging out on the streets, and at night he would stay at his friends' homes and spend the night there.

Those who can hang out with people like him are all like this.

They were drinking and playing cards in the chaotic atmosphere when a man came in from outside. He was fat and their face was not visible, but they all knew who he was.

"Hey, why are you here, Brother Dong? Come on, sit down." Zhao Pengfei was good at talking. He stood up and made room for him with a smile.

The person who came was an acquaintance.

Xu Dadong snorted: "What brother Dong? I'm your aunt's eldest brother. You should at least call me uncle."

A while ago, Xu Dadong went out with his brother Xu Xiaodong and went to the provincial capital with their uncle to work on a project.

He really couldn't stand the hardship, so he changed all the renovation work, whether it was scraping walls, breaking down walls, applying putty or mixing cement, he refused to do any of them.

It's too hard and tiring, and they're dirty all the time. I really don't know how his brother does it.

He quit after less than two months. During that time, he became addicted to the hustle and bustle of the provincial capital, thinking that there were opportunities to make a fortune everywhere. He worked hard for another two months, spending all his own money and that of his brother Xu Xiaodong, and then returned to the county town.

"Hey, what's the use of uncle? Brother Dong, you're already a boss. Calling you brother is a sign of respect for you." Zhao Pengfei had never seen the world, so in his eyes, having Xu Dadong, who had worked in engineering projects, was almost the same as a big boss.

Xu Dadong laughed out loud at his flattery and immediately threw the cigarette in his pocket onto the table: "Share it with me. This is good stuff bought from the provincial capital."

A group of small-time hooligans who were considered bumpkins in the provincial capital were immediately divided.

Seeing that Xu Dadong was rich and powerful, Zhao Pengfei and others were even more willing to be his lackeys.

After everyone drank wine and ate a plate of peanuts and a plate of smashed cucumbers, Xu Dadong asked Zhao Pengfei: "Your grandmother opened three stores in the county and is hiring people. Why didn't you go?"

Zhao Pengfei shook his head: "I can't go. My grandma told me to go and learn a skill."

Xu Dadong was very thoughtful: "What technology do you want to learn?"

Zhao Pengfei still shook his head, but he had his own ideas in his mind: "I want to learn how to drive."

How great it is to drive. There are rich people in his Zhaojia Village. When he drives a car back to the village, he is so envied.

It's great that he learned to drive, was envied by others, and could make money at the same time.

Xu Dadong rolled his eyes and thought of a good idea: "Well, let's do this. We have taxis in our county now. You can just ask your grandma to buy you a car. You can learn to drive and run a taxi. That's great. You can make money and be your own boss without having to worry about other people's opinions."

When Zhao Pengfei heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, why didn't I think of this."

"I'll talk to my grandma tomorrow."

Zhao Pengfei was an impulsive person. The next afternoon, after he sobered up, he immediately found Chen Xiaoying at Xu Dadong's urging.

He opened his mouth and said: "Grandma, I want to drive a taxi, please buy me a car."

Chen Xiaoying was stunned at the time: "What did you say?"

Zhao Pengfei thought she didn't understand: "Grandma, I said, buy me a car and I'll drive a taxi in the future. Isn't that how I can make money?"
