Zhou Niao was really scared when he was pushed by the beautiful woman, and was also scolded, which made him very sad. He was not a bad guy.
Then, his hand was held by his sister, and his heart was comforted by his sister. He smiled, "Sister, I'm not afraid."
After listening to the conversation between the brother and sister and hearing Zhou Niao's slightly childish words, the beautiful woman realized that she had misunderstood.
"I'm sorry, I was too nervous and anxious, and I didn't know right from wrong. I'm sorry, young man."
Zhou Niao waved her hands, "It's okay, Auntie, you don't have to apologize. Now, take sister Xiaoxiao back home!"
Zhou Xiang saw the beautiful woman apologize and his anger subsided. He thought that the mother was just a little too worried about her daughter.
Besides, my eldest brother has already forgiven me.
Xiaoxiao was still reluctant to leave, "Mom, I want to play with brother Niao Niao. He's so good, he can even draw. I haven't even seen any paintings yet!"
The beautiful woman coaxed and deceived Xiaoxiao into leaving, and left a thank-you gift.
Jiang Weihua did not show up. Old Master Xiao was not on good terms with his father, and he was afraid that showing up would complicate things. However, judging from the attitude of Old Master Xiao's wife, he might have known something.
The Zhou family was affected before they could enjoy the benefits left by their father.
Zhou Xiang pulled his eldest brother into the house, diverted his attention, and pointed to the room to the west. "We need to renovate this room and make it into a studio for you. What suggestions do you have?"
Zhou Niao shook his head, "I don't have any, my sister will arrange it, but be careful not to let the painting get wet."
To prevent moisture, the ground must be high! Zhou Xiang looked up at the old-fashioned house, and an idea flashed in his mind, "Brother, why don't we make a loft in this house? Make the entire inside half into a loft, with a bed and wardrobe under the loft, and the outside half will be your activity area."
Zhou Niao also thought it was a good idea and said, "Okay, let's do it."
Jiang Weihua, who followed in, raised his hand to touch his little niece's head when he heard this. This girl is so smart.
Who knew that the raised arm was pushed away, and the little girl in front of him was pulled into the arms of the man as strong as an ox.
After Zhou Xiang bumped into Ling Ran's arms, he immediately looked up and glared at him, "If you don't pay attention to the occasion, I will really be rude."
"You're most welcome."
Zhou Xiang was so angry that he wanted to step on him, but he just smiled as if nothing had happened.
Retract your foot and push him away. If you really fell for it, you shouldn't have been soft-hearted and agreed to him.
Jiang Weihua finally saw how shameless Ling Ran was. It was only a matter of time before his niece would be conquered by a man like him.
Zhou Xiang called Brother Chao over and told him about the idea of the attic, "From now on, this room will belong to Big Brother alone. If there is no room for our family members to stay, we can arrange for them to stay in a hotel.
Also, clear out a yard and turn it into an exhibition room so we can hold my brother's art exhibition."
Jin Chao nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange it."
Zhou Xiang took out a local passbook and handed it to him. "There's one million on it, as start-up capital for the exhibition. From now on, everything I own will be managed by you."
Jin Chao took it solemnly and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to do it well."
Zhou Niao was very excited. "Can I show my paintings to others?"
Zhou Xiang nodded, "It will take some time. We are still preparing now. You need to familiarize yourself with everything here first, and then paint some paintings you are willing to sell. You still need to sell a few paintings for the exhibition."
"Okay! I know."
Jiang Weihua was also happy for his nephew. It is said that when God closes a door for you, he will definitely open a window for you. His talent and aura are so great that even many people in the art world would be envious.
Zhou Xiang then said to Jiang Weihua, "Tomorrow, you have to take Big Brother to buy various items needed for painting. Buy high-end ones."
Seeing Zhou Xiang about to take something out of the pocket of his thin coat again, Jiang Weihua quickly waved his hand, "Okay! Those are my gifts for Niao Niao."
Zhou Xiang paused and took out a handkerchief. "Well! As your uncle, you should pay for the shopping."
The other two people saw Jiang Weihua's embarrassed expression and said, "Yes, it's my turn to pay. I used my credit card to pay for everyone's clothes today."
This reminded Zhou of the time when he saw him with prepaid cards in several stores, and thought of how his mother had argued with the bank teller for a long time over a miscalculated interest rate of one cent.
The interest earned from putting so much money in the bank would be enough to make my mother happy for a long time, right?
Seeing Zhou Xiang's mood quickly declining, Jiang Weihua became nervous, "Xiang Xiang, what did I say wrong?"
Ling Ran also grabbed her hand and comforted her silently.
Zhou Xiang took a deep breath and calmed himself down. What happened was over. Jiang Weihua was innocent. "It's okay. I'll take a break. You guys go out first!"
Ling Ran was unwilling to leave. His little girl was unhappy, so he had to stay with her. As soon as he saw the three of them go out, he kicked the door shut, gently embraced the girl in his arms, and stayed with her quietly.
Seeing that Zhou Niao was not in a good mood, Jiang Weihua pulled him aside and asked, "Niao Niao, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Niao looked at him resentfully, "It's all your fault that I'm unhappy because you mentioned swiping the card."
Jiang Weihua looked innocent, "What's the reason?"
"I heard from my grandfather that my mother was a shrew. She argued with the bank teller for a long time over a penny. But at that time, a penny could buy eight candies. During the Chinese New Year, I didn't even have a penny to buy candy."
After Zhou Niao finished speaking, he sat aside in a daze.
Only then did Jiang Weihua understand why his elder sister seemed unhappy when he told her the function of the card.
While he was squandering money at will, his eldest sister would argue with others for a long time over a penny, just to get back that penny that could probably buy an ounce of salt.
He had hurt them again, unintentionally.
On the day the Zhou family moved to a new house, he accidentally hurt Niao Niao, and today he accidentally hurt his eldest sister again.
He is very sad, but he cannot back down. He will change and be careful not to bring back his old behavior.
He pulled Zhou Niao up and said, "Okay! From now on, when I have money, I will deposit it in the bank to earn interest. I won't let others take advantage of me. Don't blame me. I didn't mean it."
"I didn't tell you because I know you didn't do it on purpose. Don't show us your cards anymore. We'd rather you buy them with cash."
Jiang Weihua concealed his sadness and heartache and nodded, "Okay, next time I'll carry a bag specifically for cash."
Speaking of bags, Zhou Niao suddenly remembered, "Oh! I haven't shown my sister the bag I bought for her yet!"
Jiang Weihua immediately perked up, "Quick, let's take the bag to Xiang Xiang, she'll be happy."
Humph! That big-tailed wolf has closed the door, and he wants to take Niao Niao to destroy it.
Ling Ran hugged the little girl and stroked her back gently. "Don't think about the past. Jiang Weihua didn't do it on purpose. He was just used to that kind of life."
Many people in the town knew about the quarrel that happened with Aunt Jiang. Who doesn’t calculate every penny?
The teller made a mistake in the calculation but refused to admit it. During that period, people in the town carefully read their passbooks every time they deposited or withdrew money.
