Zhou Xiang was stunned. Was this a good thing or a bad thing? Had she gone too far by confronting someone all at once? Whatever! As long as she stayed quiet, that was all.
Little Jingjing went to play with Yuanyuan. The two little girls, who were born only three days apart, had obvious differences. Jingjing couldn't speak fluently, but she could walk and run well, but was much worse than Yuanyuan.
As the older sister, Shanshan has a great time playing with her two younger sisters. Binbin now has Jiankang as his playmate and no longer plays with the little girls.
Zhong Xiong and the others haven't left yet! Zhou Yizhou and Liu Xuewen are back.
"Where's Uncle Zhou? Hasn't he come back?" Zhou Xiang asked, looking behind the two of them.
Zhou Yizhou nodded. "Yes! It's still awaiting review by the Municipal Education Bureau! What's going on in the streets? It feels a bit chaotic."
Zhong Xiong laughed, "Come, I'll tell you why."
Liu Xuewen came back to get money, but the amount he had was not enough to complete the formalities, so Zhou Xiang gave him 100,000 yuan.
Zhou Yizhou clapped his hands after listening to Zhong Xiong's speech. "That's the way it should be, little sister. When the park reopens, the people in the market town shouldn't give such big discounts."
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yeah! Flat rate."
Liu Xuewen and the other man took the money and left. Zhong Xiong took Wu Haotian to go fishing, "Let's go catch some big fish."
Wu Haotian looked at Zhong Lan and asked, "Want to go together?"
"Okay, let's go together and take Jingjing with us."
Everyone went to the park, including Yuanyuan and the others. The Zhou family finally quieted down. Mother Zhou was worried about the park. "Think about it, if you do this, won't the promotional video be broadcast in vain?"
"It doesn't matter. We have to teach these people a lesson. We've only been talking nonsense with them before. Now let's do something practical."
Zhou's mother fell silent. Although she was worried that the advertising money would be wasted, she felt that the people in the market town really needed a lesson.
Those gossipers still didn't believe it and waited for Zhou Xiang to contradict himself, swearing, "It will open in a few days."
A week passed, and the park still showed no signs of reopening. Gossipmongers were worried. Was Zhou Xiang simply burning through money? Was he really closing the park? Wouldn't the husbands at home be constantly finding fault?
Summer vacation has begun, and Zhou Yu and Zhu Hang’s wrap stall has also started trial operation, and is placed together with Aunt Guan’s cold skin stall.
Doctor Cao laughed, "Oh! Ren Qing and I don't have to cook anymore. There's food to eat right outside, and more than one kind."
Zhu Hang quickly rolled up a pancake and handed it to him, "Doctor Cao, please try it. This pancake is steamed with leavened dough and is suitable for you."
Doctor Cao took it and ate it without hesitation. He took a bite, chewed it for a while, and swallowed it. He said, "It tastes good to me, but those young people might find it bland."
"I've rolled it to your liking. If it were a youngster, I'd add some extra seasoning."
Doctor Cao nodded. "Not bad, not bad. You have an idea. Let's try it! We have to find something to do."
Zhu Hang nodded, "Yes! It's not right for both of us to stay at home. We should go out and do something to enrich ourselves."
“It’s good to think so!”
After a few days of commotion in the market town, the maid couple finally arrived at Zhou's house on the afternoon of the 29th. The man was dark and strong, and the woman was dark and thin, about thirty-five or thirty-six years old. Looking at the couple's shoes with exposed toes, Zhou Xiang couldn't help but frown. Could they have walked here?
The couple shrank back embarrassedly, especially the woman. Seeing Zhou Xiang frown, she was worried that he disliked them.
The man pulled his wife and signaled her not to be nervous. Since it was his former teammates who invited him to work here, it was impossible for him to fire them before the trial period.
Sure enough, I heard the young sister-in-law ask, "I heard you were on your way a week ago. Are you walking here?"
The man, Xu Tong, nodded. "Yes, my family couldn't even afford the train ticket, so I brought some dry food with me."
"Surely the bodyguard company has set up a foundation, right?"
Xu Tong shook his head. "We haven't reached that point yet. Leave it to those who need it."
"Okay, Ling Ran, take Brother Xu to the bathroom and let them wash up. Ask my dad to cook them two bowls of noodles. They can fill their stomachs first and rest for a day before starting work tomorrow."
Ling Ran got up and took Xu Tong to the South Building. The woman was a little nervous facing Zhou Xiang alone.
Looking at the nervous woman, Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, Mrs. Xu. We are very casual. It's not like working as a maid in a big city. It's just like helping relatives."
The woman nodded, looked at the door, and then whispered, "I heard that everything is under control. We didn't bring any bedding."
It seems that Mrs. Xu is still quite afraid of Mr. Xu. She is very cautious when asking normal questions.
"Yes, you don't need to bring anything. Just bring two changes of clothes. I'll give you half a month's salary in advance tomorrow. Go out and buy your necessary supplies. You'll officially start work the day after tomorrow, the first."
The woman smiled. "Thank you, boss."
Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "Don't call me boss, just call me by my name. My name is Zhou Xiang."
The woman waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, you have to call the boss."
"Then call me Miss Zhou. Calling me boss is so awkward!"
This time the woman nodded in agreement, "Okay, call me Miss Zhou."
After Xu Tong learned how to use the bathroom utensils, he called his wife to go wash up.
Mrs. Xu grabbed her thin bag and followed her husband out of the living room.
Zhou Xiang couldn't help but feel fortunate that the two of them had already set out. Otherwise, if she had really stopped them, she wondered how the couple would have managed to survive! From just two sentences, it was clear that Brother Xu was a stubborn person. Even at this point, he still wasn't willing to seek help from the foundation.
Ling Ran called Lu Jin to come to the backyard and bring Li Nong's clothes and shoes. There were ten people, and Li Nong was considered the stronger one. Then he asked his mother-in-law to find some old clothes and shoes.
He handed the item to Xu Tong and said, "This is my mother-in-law's old one, please don't be disgusted!"
Xu Tong's face was a little bitter. "Don't mind, don't mind. I'll take it in for her right away."
After the couple cleaned up and washed up, they ate a bowl of noodles and followed Lu Jin to the front yard to rest.
Zhou wanted to remind Ling Ran to give them a half-month salary advance tomorrow so that they could buy some necessities.
Ling Ran nodded, "I see. I really didn't know it was so difficult for this couple. Fortunately, they came out a day earlier, otherwise they would have been turned down."
"Yes! Thank goodness! Once the school is up and running, you can find more couples like this to help with logistics!"
"Yeah! I'll keep an eye on it."
The incident in the park is still fermenting, and those gossips are very regretful. The man used to put down his bowl and go to the park to play and fish every day, and the days passed happily and smoothly. But now they quarrel and fight every day, and the house is in chaos. Why didn’t they realize that such life was difficult before?
Those who can swallow their pride come to Zhou's house to apologize to Zhou Xiang.
Zhou Xiang just smiled faintly, "No need to apologize, it's my Yuhu, I can do whatever I want with it, just like my money, I can spend it however I want, I don't need others to tell me what to do."
The person who apologized hit a snag and didn't dare to tell anyone about it after returning home. Not only was he afraid of being embarrassed, but he was also afraid of rumors starting again.
