On the second day, Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran were a little suspicious when they saw Wu Haotian, whose spirit and energy were obviously different. Wu Haotian quickly concealed his excitement and hung up the diapers seriously. If these two teamed up to do something bad, he would be in trouble!
Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran went downstairs to have breakfast. Wu Haotian breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back to the house with the empty basin.
Zhonglan asked him why he was so flustered.
He shook his head, "It's okay, it's just that Ling Ran and Zhou Xiang almost saw it."
"What do you see?"
Wu Haotian smiled, "You can see that I'm very happy! Even though you didn't agree, I now have a chance. I'm no longer as lost as before. I'm really happy."
Zhong Lan stared at his smile that came from the heart. It was the first time she saw such a smile on Mr. Wu's face. In the past, he only had polite smiles or sneers, but this smile was very warm.
It was not until that smile got closer and closer to her that she came to her senses and leaned her head against the headboard, where she could no longer lean back.
"Wu, Mr. Wu!"
Wu Haotian lowered his head and kissed her. No wonder some people say that kissing is addictive. He is addicted now.
Zhong Lan pushed him hard, but she was defeated by his kiss. It was not until a long time after he let her go that she said angrily, "I haven't brushed my teeth yet."
Wu Haotian stood up straight and said, "Wait, I'll get you a toothbrush and a cup."
The two people who are not on the same channel get along very warmly. When Zhou's mother came up to replace Wu Haotian, it was obvious that the relationship between the two had changed.
She didn't say much. It was time for Wu Haotian to get married. Zhong Lan had given birth to a child for him, and the two of them were in love with each other. It was only a matter of time.
When Wu Haotian went downstairs, he tried hard to control the corners of his mouth from rising, but it was difficult to control the emotion from the heart. He thought he had it under control, but the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily.
Ling Ran and Zhou Xiang looked at each other and pretended not to see it. The pressure had been put on them, and it would be enough if the other party could break through.
The truck driver finished eating early, settled the fare and left.
As soon as the Zhou family finished breakfast, Zhong Xiong and his gang arrived and shouted loudly from a distance: "We haven't had breakfast yet!"
Ling Ran really wanted to go to the kitchen to hide the jar of salted eggs. When Zhong Xiong came, the salted eggs would be in trouble. Sure enough, Zhong Xiong was the first to rush into the kitchen, picked up the vegetable bowl and fished the eggs out of the jar.
"Oh! Where's Aunt Jiang? It's time to pickle the eggs, they're almost gone."
Ling Ran glared at him, "You cook dozens at a time. No matter how many you pickle, it won't be enough. I won't pickle them anymore."
"No! I can just buy eggs. Don't be so stingy."
As they were talking, they had already fished out thirty or forty eggs. Ling Ran pressed the lid of the jar and said, "That's enough. There are 13 of you. Each of you has two or three. We've all eaten."
"Okay, okay! Let's just cook this much!"
While washing the eggs, people came in one after another. When the eggs were cooked in the pot, Ma Zhao came in with a basin of fried dough sticks, followed by Wang Qiao with a basin of tofu pudding.
It was definitely a premeditated breakfast. Everything was ready except for Zhou's salted eggs.
After the fight was over, Tang Mei quickly took people to clean up the table. It was so outrageous that the table and the floor were all dirty.
After everything was settled, Zhong Xiong asked Zhu Hang why he called them all to Zhou's house?
Zhu Hang turned around to look for Wu Haotian, but couldn't find him, so he asked Zhong Xiong to shout for help.
Good! This shout immediately triggered a duet upstairs. Zhu Hang glared at Zhong Xiong, and Zhong Xiong touched the back of his head, "Boss, didn't you tell me to call for help?"
"Just use your normal voice. Did I ask you to increase the volume?"
"You shouted. You just said: Zhong Xiong shouted loudly."
Zhu Hang waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I won't bother with you anymore. Let's talk about it after Haotian comes down."
Wu Haotian came down very quickly because he was afraid that if he didn't come down, there would be another shout from below.
"What's going on? Activate Jong-hyung's loud voice."
The blind lady, who had been watching them fight over breakfast with great interest, pulled Anwen and said, "Come on, let's go upstairs and see the children."
Jin Chao couldn't follow them upstairs, so he could only go to the living room. Ling Ran and Zhou Xiang also wanted to leave, but Zhu Hang stopped Zhou Xiang.
"Sister, please stay! Be a witness for us. You are the one who reminded me."
"Me?" Zhou Xiang pointed at her nose. What did she remind her brother-in-law of?
Zhu Hang nodded, "Yes, it's you."
Zhou Xiang had no choice but to sit down. Ling Ran didn't leave, and Zhu Hang didn't chase him away.
After signaling that everyone was ready, Zhu Hang said, "In the beginning, we were six people doing business together. Haotian and I withdrew from the labor for personal reasons and only took a share of the profits.
Although our share is smaller than that of the four of you, the money is getting bigger and bigger, and it is getting too hot for us to handle. So, Haotian and I decided to withdraw from the barbecue and malatang business.
As for the supermarket business, since no one needs to work too hard, Haotian and I shamelessly accepted it, but we will reduce the proportion a little bit."
When Wu Haotian heard this, he nodded repeatedly. The boss must have a reason for doing this, and since he didn't even get his consent, it must be necessary.
Zhong Xiong refused to accept this. "Boss, when we were young, we agreed to share the good and the bad. How come we can only share the bad and not the good? Without you, there would be no us. Besides, Zhou Xiang helped us out of your kindness."
Zhou Xiang interrupted. Since Zhu Hang was talking about this, she had some say. After all, Zhong Xiong also mentioned her.
"Zhong Xiong, there's a reason why my brother-in-law said this, because I was the one who brought it up. The more money he gets, the harder you work. You work hard to earn money, but you have to give it to others for free. You might not care at first, but over time, you'll inevitably feel a little bit of resentment, and slowly it will develop into dissatisfaction.
You might say, "Who dares?" But many times, the more we suppress certain emotions, the stronger they become, and when they explode, it's out of control.
Not to mention the six of you, you have experienced a lot of hardships together and you can be indistinguishable from each other. Your sisters-in-law can also understand you and are willing to share their hard work.
However, have you ever thought about the next generation? When they grow up, boys and girls have different preferences. You can ask them to respect and love each other, but you cannot ask them to have deep feelings like you. They have their own ideas and preferences. You cannot ask them to like what you like.
First separate my brother-in-law and Brother Wu, and you can slowly separate as well. If you are reluctant to separate completely, then treat the new store as a branch. You are still good brothers and still open a store together, but with more branches, you need to look after them separately, and you will be responsible for your own profits and losses.
In this way, the lazy ones won't catch up with the diligent ones, and by separating them, their relationship may become more harmonious.
When you have nothing to do and miss each other, we will have a meal together. You will go back to the market town every Chinese New Year and live together.
As long as your relationship is there, don't force it on others. After a while, everyone will get tired."
Zhong Xiong was silent. Ma Zhao felt very ashamed. His wife had been lazy for many years and had said at that time that she wanted to separate the two of them. Now, was it really going to come to this?
