"Mom~" Guo Yao said, his voice hoarse, tears welling up in his eyes. "I'm sorry."
Guo Xuehua bent down and hugged his second daughter in his arms, "Cry! After you cry, we will cheer up, study hard and take the college entrance examination. When you pass the exam and have more experience, you will look back and it will be just a small setback in life. It's like when you think back to the years when you were sent away as a child, will you still be afraid and cry like you did when you were a child?"
"Mom~ woooo."
Guo Yao hugged his mother and burst into tears. His heart-wrenching sorrow made Guo Xuehua feel uncomfortable as well. In his heart, he cursed Xiao Qian for messing with his own daughter.
After crying bitterly, Guo Yao's eyes brightened. "Mom is right. The fear I had as a child is now a thing of the past. As long as I work hard and take a big step forward, I can bypass the grief I feel now. Don't worry! I'll start reviewing tonight."
The second daughter's words reassured Guo Xuehua, "Originally, I was supposed to go on a business trip on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, but Miss Zhou transferred me to another position and asked Zhou Nian and I to start the indoor amusement park. Such a huge pressure suddenly fell on me, and I had no choice but to bite the bullet because Miss Zhou said I could do it. For her trust, I had to do it even if I had to.
Now, Mom also trusts you, trusts you to take the college entrance exam seriously. If you're not doing this to earn Mom a reputation, then you're being sent away because the Zhu family doesn't care about you being a girl. You should get into a good school and make a name for yourself. You should make the Zhu family regret it, but they won't have anywhere to cry about it!"
"So what day is it today?" Guo Yao didn't expect that she had delayed his mother and Miss Zhou's business.
"Twelve."
It's been four days already? Miss Zhou's money-making plan has been delayed. "Mom, I'm still a little upset, but I won't be stupid again. Go on your business trip!"
"Okay!" Guo Xuehua nodded, "Mom believes my daughters are always trustworthy. I won't force you to be happy immediately. Time is the best medicine for healing, but don't just leave it to time. You still need to work hard to cheer yourself up."
"I understand. Thank you, Mom." Guo Yao thanked sincerely.
Zhou Xiang took everyone from the Zhou residence to the sixth floor to attend Xie Meng's Sunday party. Xie Lin threw a grand feast. He didn't care what others said about him; he just loved his granddaughter. What was wrong with that? Those who said sour words were jealous, jealous of his granddaughter's beauty.
Indeed, Xie Meng completely inherited her father's genes. At only one year old, you can see that she has a good appearance. Zhou Xiang often jokes with Xie Chen who comes to Zhou's house to visit his daughter, and asks him if he looked so feminine when he was a child. Every time this happens, Xie Chen, who is never protected by his wife, can only be so angry with his cousin that his head is about to burst into flames, and then he calms down in the face of his daughter's smile.
Zhou Xiang also heard those sour words, so today she brought everyone from Zhou's house to support her cousin.
Professor Chu gave Xie Meng a little jade pig as a gift, as Xie Meng was born in the year of the pig.
What Zhou wanted to give was a gold bracelet with a little pig pendant on it.
The silver bracelets and anklets were given by Zhou Yan, Ling Xiaoyi, Ling Xiaoyuan and Ling Xiaotong, four other children, and red envelopes were given by the rest of the people in Zhou's house.
Such a big scene made those people even more jealous. Why didn’t they have such rich relatives?
Xie Lin smiled with tears in his eyes. His life was worth it. Zhou Quan coaxed and tricked him into recognizing him as his cousin. He never expected that there would be more blessings to come!
Lu Jing held her daughter in her arms and made up her mind that her life would belong to her sister-in-law for the rest of her life.
With Zhou Xiang taking the lead and many security guards coming to support them, the few people from Xiaoxie Village were simply not enough. Except for Xie Bing and Xie Yu who generously gave generous gifts, the rest kept their heads down and pretended to be dumb.
Xie Ling has given up on his hometown. If you don't care, there will be no disappointment.
On the thirteenth, Guo Xuehua and Zhou Nian went on a business trip.
On the 15th, Jiang Weihua rushed back to celebrate the Lantern Festival and sent his wife and children back to his mother-in-law's home.
On the 16th, Professor Chu and Ge Xin moved back to the warehouse building. Ling Quan and Dong Yunrong moved back to the Ling family. Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran took all the children to register. Jiang Weihua, who also registered with his children, followed his niece back to the Zhou residence. "I heard the villa is finished?"
"Yeah!" Zhou Xiang nodded. "It's built, but the basic walls haven't been whitewashed yet."
"No need to scrape," Jiang Weihua said, disdainfully looking at the layer of white cement the construction crew had scraped onto the outside of the brick wall. "We can just buy good materials and scrape it ourselves. It'll just cost a little more."
"I'm poor." Zhou wanted to act like a rogue.
"I'll take care of it," Jiang Weihua patted his chest, "Leave the decoration of your four-story villa to me."
Zhou Hua, who was not in a hurry to start work this year, jumped out and said, "Uncle, there's me and me. You can't be partial. We are all your juniors."
"One for you, one for me, think about one," Jiang Weihua counted on his fingers. "If I take yours, I can't leave Zhou Niao behind. There's still the one for my brother-in-law and my eldest sister. Can I just leave them alone? Of course not. That means I have to undertake the renovation of five villas by myself."
"Don't be afraid," Zhou Hua joked, "Haven't you been planning to help the poor for a long time? I'm giving you a chance."
"Let's use the rent from the house in Zhejiang Province!" Zhou wanted to know that his third brother was just waiting for someone to help him with the work, not really planning to not pay. "After the renovation, split the bill into five parts. You pay one-fifth, and the remaining four-fifths are split into three parts. My eldest and third brothers and I will pay for Mom and Dad together."
"Right!" Zhou Hua agreed. "I don't have any money, so you guys can help me out first and help me with the renovations. I'll pay you back as soon as I make some money."
"When will you make money?" Jiang Weihua looked at his nephew who had become slick.
"It's almost there," Zhou Hua laughed. "We'll be able to open in the second half of the year. However, my sister needs to go to the county government to discuss road repairs. We're not looking to take advantage, but we also can't be taken advantage of."
"Who?" Zhou Xiang's tone became serious. "Who is planning to rip you off?"
"Not yet," Zhou Hua shook his head. "I just heard a few things. Someone in Xishan Town, who sold us the land, said that if they had known the developer was so rich, they should have raised the asking price."
"Okay, leave it to me." Zhou Xiang agreed. She had done so much for the county. If she lent out the chickens, they would be golden chickens. She just asked them to return the local chickens. If there were still those who were greedy for money, don't blame her for collecting the debt.
"Hehe," Zhou Hua laughed wickedly, "I'll leave this matter to my sister. Uncle, please give me a hand too!"
"What's the favor? Just tell me, I'll definitely help if I can."
"Horses," Zhou Hua said, having nowhere to buy horses and not knowing much about horse breeds or care. "At least fifteen adult horses, and two or three breeders. You know I'm giving rides to tourists, so I don't need the best breeds, but I don't want bad breeds either."
"Okay!" Jiang Weihua agreed readily. "I'll help you with this. I happen to have a childhood friend who's an equestrian enthusiast. Every summer he goes horseback riding in the northern grasslands. I heard he even keeps a horse there, and he spends quite a bit of money on it every year!"
After the two major issues were resolved, Zhou Hua took his wife to Xishan again.
Zhou Xiang sent Lawyer Gao to accompany Jiang Weihua to obtain the property certificates for the five villas, and then Jiang Weihua began to make phone calls non-stop to arrange things.
After he finished, Zhou Xiang made a request, "Just decorate my villa in a simple style. I don't need furniture for now. I won't live there, and the furniture will become outdated. Just install the kitchen and bathroom."
