Although Lin's father and mother were nice to me during the time I was away from the county, I was still uneasy.
Now that I have my own shop, I can stay here with peace of mind and accompany Lin Wan to prepare for the college entrance examination.
Counting the days, Lin Wan will be taking the exam soon.
In order to have a place to stay in the county town when Lin Wan took the college entrance examination, Li Mu secretly bought a small two-bedroom apartment in the county town.
Lin Wan’s name was written on it, so that she would have a place to stay when she took the college entrance examination.
After buying the shop, Li Mu asked Lin's father to find some time to call some familiar villagers to help him run the shop.
Fortunately, Lin's father had some time recently, so he simply supervised the work himself. Every day, he took the young and old men in the village who had no work to do to help Li Mu with the renovation.
The daily wage is twenty dollars, and there are also sweet drinks. Compared with other jobs out there, Li Mu's job is much better.
They were all from the same village and worked very hard. The renovation, which was supposed to take a month, was finally ready to open before Lin Wan's exam.
On the opening day, in order to give back to old customers, Li Mu launched a buy one get one free promotion.
...
...
Business is still booming, no less than that in Yancheng.
After counting the days, Li Mu thought that he had not contacted Zhou Qiang for some time, so he planned to go back to Yancheng when the business was more stable.
As for the shop in Li County, he handed it over to his brother-in-law to manage.
Lin Mo used to be an employee of a food factory, but with the development of the economy, many factories had to lay off a large number of employees due to poor sales.
Originally, Lin Mo was not on the layoff list, but after Li Mu heard the news, he asked his brother-in-law to resign and open a grilled fish restaurant with him.
Instead of staying in the old factory, it’s better to come out and make big money together.
During this period, Lin Mo helped Li Mu set up a stall to sell grilled fish whenever he had free time, and witnessed Li Mu's abilities.
He simply resigned without any hesitation, and Lin's father and mother surprisingly did not object to this matter.
After all, during the time Lin Mo was working at the food factory, his position had remained stagnant, and his monthly salary was less than half of that of his son-in-law.
——
The grilled fish restaurant business gradually got on track. Li Mu packed some luggage and prepared to go back before Lin Wan's exam.
Because of the reform, the house of Lin Wan’s textile factory is now being sold according to the number of people in the family.
Originally, Li Mu just wanted to go back to see his grandmother and take care of the housing issue, but the textile factory required Lin Wan to go back in person to handle it.
After Li Mu brought Ruoruo and Lin Wan back to Yancheng, the first thing he did was to go to the grilled fish restaurant to find Zhou Qiang.
I originally thought that I would see Zhou Lifang in the store, but I didn’t. I could only see Zhou Qiang busying around in the store.
"Qiangzi." Li Mu stood at the door of the store in a neat suit and shouted towards the store.
Zhou Qiang, who was originally busy, heard the voice, turned around and saw someone coming over, his face full of excitement.
"Brother, you're back?"
As he said this, he wanted to go up and hug him, but the business in the store was so good that Zhou Qiang couldn't leave.
Li Mu unbuttoned his suit, casually draped his clothes on the stool where he usually rested, rolled up his sleeves, and started to help Zhou Qiang with his work.
During this period when Li Mu was away, the store's business was still booming, just as good as when Li Mu was still there.
By the time they finished their work, it was almost midnight. The two sat together on chairs in the store and chatted about recent events.
"Brother, Zhou Lifang and I broke up, and her barber shop closed down."
Li Mu was not surprised to hear Zhou Qiang say this. This was what they had originally planned when they gave the grilled fish restaurant to him.
Zhou Qiang talked about some things that happened between him and Zhou Lifang during this period.
Ever since Zhou Qiang took over the grilled fish restaurant, every day has been busy. Seeing that the business was good, Zhou Lifang closed the barber shop and rested at home with peace of mind.
But Zhou Qiang gradually stopped going home and stopped giving him money, so Zhou Lifang could only live off her savings at home.
During this period, Zhou Lifang made a fuss many times, and Zhou Qiang always used the excuse of planning to open a branch and said that he did not have much money.
Seeing that the grilled fish restaurant was doing good business, Zhou Lifang spent more and more money lavishly until she had spent all her capital and had no money left. Zhou Qiang always said that he had no money.
Zhou Lifang, who had been used to a life of ease and comfort, naturally couldn't stand the days of having no money to spend, so she had to find Wang Jianguo again. When the two were dating, she met Wang Jianguo's ex-wife.
Zhou Lifang was beaten badly and the baby in her belly was gone. This matter spread to everyone in the town. Fortunately, Zhou Qiang had already taken Grandma Zhou to the countryside in advance.
So grandma doesn’t know about this now.
Zhou Qiang also took the opportunity to break up with Zhou Lifang completely because of this incident, but Zhou Lifang kept pestering him.
It happened that Wu Min came to deliver fish to Zhou Qiang one day. Upon hearing the news, Zhou Qiang asked Wu Min for help in pretending to be his new partner.
After Zhou Lifang made a scene in the grilled fish restaurant, she hasn't come to see Zhou Qiang for a long time.
After learning about these things, Li Mu felt very sad. He didn't expect that because of his intervention, Zhou Lifang's ending would be so tragic.
Li Mu wanted to use the 50,000 yuan to pay back the money Zhou Qiang had borrowed before, but Zhou Qiang refused.
During this period, Zhou Qiang ran the grilled fish restaurant alone and had already paid off all the debt. This time when Li Mu came back, Zhou Qiang also planned to transfer the grilled fish restaurant to Li Mu.
Li Mu did not refuse, but the shop was still allowed to be run by Zhou Qiang, and the money earned was split equally between the two.
Just when the two were chatting happily, the protagonist Zhou Lifang they had originally talked about came again.
But Zhou Lifang didn't expect that Li Mu was there too, with a hint of resentment in his eyes. If it weren't for Li Mu, how could Zhou Qiang think about making money every day but not give her a penny.
The reason why he ended up like this was all Li Mu’s fault.
Thinking of this, Zhou Lifang rushed towards Li Mu and stretched out her hand to scratch Li Mu.
He kept yelling, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't secretly told Qiangzi to ignore me, how could I be like this?"
"Li Mu, you really deserve to die. Go to hell."
Before Zhou Lifang could step forward, Li Mu kicked Zhou Lifang in the abdomen with a look of disdain on his face.
"Do you think it's my fault for the ugly things you did? If you could control yourself, you wouldn't be in this situation now."
When Zhou Lifang heard Li Mu mention that incident, she went completely crazy. She wanted to rush forward without caring about anything and start scratching Li Mu.
