The car stopped by the wall, the door opened, and a fat man came out.
The moment he turned around, Li Qiumei was startled.
"Yes, this man is He Jun!
So, this house was built by He Jun.
No wonder it's so luxurious, it seems He Jun is returning home in glory."
Zhou Lanzhi snorted and pointed at the middle-aged woman circling around He Jun in the yard, "Qiu Mei, look at this Zhou Mingli, she's always been a face-saver.
When guests came, she didn't even make a cup of tea and just went away to slack off.
That evil creature came back, and she rushed to claim credit for it."
Li Qiumei glanced at the woman who was busy taking things out of the trunk and asked, "Auntie, who is she to you?"
Zhou Lanzhi stared at the yard and said, "She is the eldest daughter of my distant relative, whom He Jun asked to serve me.
I told him a long time ago not to look for relatives, as it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away, but he refused to listen.
It was said that the nanny hired from outside would beat people. Zhou Mingli was laid off and happened to be working as a nanny in someone else's home. Relatives asked her to take better care of me.
But Zhou Mingli is lazy and eats all day long, and sooner or later she will drive me crazy."
Li Qiumei turned her head and looked out the window again, "Auntie, your niece didn't have time to make tea, she was busy putting on makeup.
Look, her lipstick looks like she just put it on. I remember she hadn't put it on yet when she opened the door for me."
When Zhou Lanzhi heard this, she sat up straight and her eyes suddenly became cold.
"Bah, I didn't expect she had such thoughts."
He Jun and Zhou Mingli came in carrying gifts.
"Mom, I'm back." He Jun just called out and saw Li Qiumei.
He smiled and said, "Qiumei, you're here."
Li Qiumei smiled and nodded.
Zhou Lanzhi glanced at Zhou Mingli and said, "Sure enough, that big mouth is painted blood red, and that fat face is powdered.
It was obvious that she hadn't put anything on her face before Qiu Mei came.
Humph, this woman has only been home for two months, and she's already gained at least ten pounds from eating secretly."
Zhou Lanzhi was unhappy. "He Jun, my feet hurt. Qiu Mei has been here for a long time and she hasn't even had a cup of tea. Go make her some tea."
Zhou Mingli quickly said, "Aunt, let me see if the water is boiling. I'll go make some right away."
Zhou Lanzhi rolled her eyes at her and said, "Oh my, it's been so long, and you haven't even watched the boiling water. Don't let the teapot burn through."
"No, no! Aunt, I know what's going on." Zhou Mingli said, putting down the fruit in her hand and ran towards the kitchen.
He Jun quickly took out the bananas, pulled out two and handed them to Li Qiumei and his mother.
"Mom, didn't I buy a water dispenser? It's clean and sanitary, and it boils water quickly. Why don't you use it?"
Zhou Lanzhi snorted, "I'm used to drinking tea from a teapot, so..."
Zhou Mingli came in with tea. Before she could put it down, Zhou Lanzhi pointed at the tea can on the coffee table and said, "Mingli, didn't I tell you a long time ago that you should use the best tea in our house to treat Qiumei? Why didn't you listen?"
Zhou Mingli was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Oh, look at my memory, I forgot.
I'll go make some again."
After making the tea, Zhou Lanzhi called her, "Mingli, hurry up and cook. Qiumei has to go back in the afternoon."
Seeing Zhou Mingli leave, He Jun smiled and said, "Mom, how are you feeling lately?"
Zhou Lanzhi clutched her chest and said, "If I continue to let you mess things up, I'm afraid I won't survive this year."
He Jun frowned, "Mom, what do you mean by that?"
Zhou Lanzhi glared at him and said, "He Jun, I told you a long time ago that you don't want Mingli to look after me, but you refused to listen.
Let’s not talk about her laziness and greed, because I can’t control her anyway.
But look at her. She's already so old, but she still follows those little girls around all day, learning how to put on powder and paint her lips."
He Jun smiled, "Mom, this is her freedom, look, Qiu Mei also wears makeup.
Why do you care about such a small matter?"
Zhou Lanzhi looked very disappointed, "Idiot, do you think she put on makeup for me?
She, she puts on makeup for the men on Beimen Street.
Every day after lunch, she would go out for a walk. When it was time to come back to cook dinner, she would clear the dishes and disappear again.
You said that if anything happened to me, it would be too late for her to come back, and even a god couldn't save me.
Alas, I am now worried every night, afraid that she will hook up with some man, and that man’s wife will come to our house and smash it to pieces.
Our family's reputation is already bad because of you. If something like this happens again, I won't be able to live with the face anymore.
If I die, everything will be over. You spent so much money to build this big house, do you have the nerve to come back and live in it?"
He Jun was stunned.
Li Qiumei couldn't help but sigh at Zhou Lanzhi's cleverness. After hearing this, He Jun would definitely not dare to keep Zhou Mingli anymore.
Seeing He Jun remained silent, Zhou Lanzhi continued, "Oh, and what about Mingli's husband?
I asked you to take my good wife in to take care of me, but you ended up finding a strange man and making the family uneasy.
People will come to you to settle the score and ask you to pay compensation.
If you do this, you will be in the wrong with your relatives, and you will no longer be able to be their relatives."
He Jun scratched his head and said, "Mom, what you said is too scary.
Oh, forget it, I'll just send her back."
Zhou Lanzhi hummed, "I'll be the villain in a moment. No matter what Zhou Mingli says, just say one thing: I'll listen to my mother."
He Jun nodded repeatedly.
At the dinner table, Zhou Lanzhi kept serving food to Li Qiumei, "Qiumei, Yuanzhou is already quite grown up.
Please help him find a suitable girl and let him go and meet her."
Zhou Mingli was busy picking up some food for He Jun while she said, "Aunt, my third uncle has a very pretty daughter, about the same age as Yuanzhou. I'll go back and ask her and introduce her to Yuanzhou."
He Jun thought for a moment and said, "Your third uncle's daughter?
Is this the one who had dinner at your house last time when I went to pick you up to take care of my mom?"
Zhou Mingli nodded. "That's it, Jun Ge, I'm right, isn't it beautiful?"
He Jun sneered, "Has she given birth to the baby in her belly?"
"She didn't give birth, she had an induced abortion, and she has completely broken up with that boy.
I tell you, Jun Ge, there are many families who come to propose marriage, but if I come forward, then my third uncle will definitely listen to me."
Li Qiumei was speechless. Zhou Mingli was truly a capable person. She could speak so confidently.
Didn’t you see the murderous look in He Jun’s mother and son’s eyes?
Zhou Lanzhi glanced at her with disgust, "Mingli, I've been feeling a little unwell these days, so He Jun came back to take me to Beicheng for medical treatment.
After dinner, you can pack up and we will take you back."
