Chapter 137 Chapter 137 Breaking up and pursuing career
Compared to the marriage of Ning Shichun and Sun Jiajia, which required the parents of both sides to discuss slowly, Lin Lili transferred the shop and sold the house much faster.
Lin Lili is also a person of vigor and decisiveness. Her hair salon business is particularly good. As soon as she mentioned transferring the business, she quickly found someone willing to take over.
Houses don’t sell as quickly as shops, but they are not difficult to sell either. She is willing to make concessions and lower the price a bit, so many more people come to see the house.
Seeing how quickly she moved, Zhao Ruyue thought she was serious about it, so she started to ask people about the shops and houses in the city.
Otherwise, when they go to the city together to look, they can't act like a headless fly. They have to inquire in advance and decide on a range.
When Zhao Ruyue found out and was about to tell Lin Lili, she ran into Lin Lili, who was shopping sweetly with her boyfriend on the street in the county town.
Zhao Ruyue was speechless. She saw that Lin Lili was selling shops and houses, and it made such a big fuss, so she thought that Lin Lili and Brother Lei were really broken up.
As a result, after I helped to inquire for a long time, they turned around and reconciled...
Since they didn't see Zhao Ruyue, Zhao Ruyue didn't come forward to greet them.
I just sent a message to Lin Lili, asking her to find time to come to my store. I planned to ask her what was going on and whether she still wanted to buy a property in the city.
It was two days later that Lin Lili went to Zhao Ruyue's store to find her.
Zhao Ruyue didn't beat around the bush, because Lin Lili wouldn't understand if she did.
She asked directly: "What's going on between you and your boyfriend? Are you back together again?"
Lin Lili waved her hands: "That's impossible. It's impossible for him and I to be together again."
"When I messaged you a few days ago, I saw you shopping with him. It didn't look like you had broken up."
Lin Lili said: "At that time, I was so angry that I deliberately disgusted someone."
"It's his first love again? Tell me what happened in detail."
"It was his first love. When I was with Brother Lei, they had broken up for a long time. I didn't interfere with their relationship as a third party, but what about her?
After returning to the county, I saw that Brother Lei had achieved some success and had a family background, so I started flirting with him and even said in a pretentious tone that he already had a new girlfriend and that I couldn't destroy his relationship with me and that I was willing to wait for her silently. If I really didn't want to destroy other people's feelings, then he should stay away from us! ”
Zhao Ruyue nodded. She did that, secretly telling her girlfriend that she wanted the man to open a hair salon for her. It didn't seem like what she said, that she didn't want to interfere in other people's relationships.
If you really don't want to interfere in other people's relationships, you should avoid suspicion and stay away from Lin Lili and her boyfriend.
"That's not the most infuriating thing. The most infuriating thing is that she actually came to me and said that Brother Lei and I had broken up, and she didn't agree with Brother Lei giving me the two hair salons and the house. She would be Brother Lei's wife in the future and had the right to take the things back, and asked me to return everything to her!"
"You haven't returned it yet?" If you really return it, you'd be a big fool!
Lin Lili of course didn't return the favor: "Brother Lei hasn't proposed to her yet, he just said during the quarrel with me that she has a stable job, is well educated, and is sensible, so he might consider marrying her.
But they haven't got their marriage certificate yet, nor are they engaged, so how can she be considered Brother Lei's wife!
Even if she is my future wife, before we get married, she has no right to comment on Brother Lei’s things. What’s more, those things were earned by me when I helped Brother Lei to get them when we were together. What does that woman have to do with them? Isn’t that right, Aunt San? ”
"That's right. You were at a disadvantage because you started out as his girlfriend and worked with him. When it comes to starting a business, once you become boyfriend and girlfriend or husband and wife, people tend to overlook your partner attributes underneath that identity. If you were both men, working together to start a business, you might be able to get more."
As far as Zhao Ruyue knew, Lin Lili had contributed a lot to Lei Ge's Internet cafe. Even Zhao Ruyue had helped out in the Internet cafe several times for Lin Lili's sake.
There was also a house. In fact, the man had many houses, but Lin Lili only took one.
If Lin Lili had started a business with him as a partner, she would not have been blinded by emotions and not bought herself a house, and the only car she would have was a small ladies' motorcycle.
At the very least, they will buy two or three houses and put them in their own name. They may even get themselves a villa and buy a nice car to show off, just like some businessmen who need villas and good cars to decorate their houses.
Zhao Ruyue heard Lin Lili say again: "Actually, although Brother Lei and I said we had broken up, we hadn't officially done it yet. He still had some dinner parties, and the people who organized them were people I was familiar with, and he needed me to help him out, so we just agreed to break up and officially break up after a while. But I can guarantee that after helping him deal with those dinner parties, I will really break up with him and go to the city to develop my career."
Zhao Ruyue: “…”
This is what is called division, but not complete division? Or differential?
She couldn't understand the emotional world of these young people and could only respect them.
"I think you should resolve these matters in the county as soon as possible. Don't let them drag you down. Getting entangled with them will only consume you."
"I know, Third Aunt. Last time I asked you to help me find out about the shops in the city. I wonder how it went?"
"I've already asked around. There are two districts in the city that are more suitable. They have good public security and a good environment. It's not easy to run into some messy people. The houses in those two districts are also good. I'm free during this period. You can see when you are free so we can go take a look. Otherwise, after Jiajia and Xiaochun's marriage is settled and the gift ceremony begins, I may not be free."
As a close relative of the man's family, she, as a female elder, needs to help bring gifts to the man's family several times. When there is a wedding banquet, she and Ning Shaoming also have to go to help.
Nowadays, many hair salons are of a pornographic nature, especially in areas with poor public security and near urban villages, where there are many such shops.
Lin Lili opened her own shop, so Zhao Ruyue tried her best to help her choose a place with a better environment. The price was a bit expensive, but it was not the most expensive place in the city.
"What!" Lin Lili was shocked after hearing what Zhao Ruyue said, but what surprised her was not the matter of the shop and the house, but that Sun Jiajia and Ning Shichunyao were married without her knowing!
"Aunt San, you said Jia Jia and Ning Shichun are getting married? She didn't even tell me. I won't be the last one to know, right?"
Zhao Ruyue didn't expect that Sun Jiajia didn't tell Lin Lili, but she thought about it and understood what was going on: "Maybe Jiajia knew that you broke up with your girlfriend recently, and she felt that her good friend was breaking up, but she was going to have a wedding, so she didn't know how to tell you?"
"I guess so. Jiajia is just like that. She always worries too much." Lin Lili knew Sun Jiajia very well. She felt relieved when she thought of her character. "But I can't let her go like this. I'm going to ask her and ask her to make up for my hurt heart! Third Aunt, I'm leaving first. I won't disturb you from working."
"Well, go ahead."
Lin Lili ran to find Sun Jiajia, and Zhao Ruyue came to the front to help the clerk find the package for the customer.
Nowadays, more and more people are buying things online.
She has opened express delivery deposit services at both of her locations. Previously, there was only one person responsible for phone recharge, online shopping and express delivery deposit services, but the workload for the person in charge was not that heavy.
Now it is run by two people. It's quite relaxing when it's free, but very busy when it gets busy.
At this time, Zhao Ruyue would temporarily put down the repair work in her hands and come out to help them.
"Boss, I'm here to pick up the package."
"Wait a moment, I'm helping someone else find it, you'll be the next one." Zhao Ruyue rummaged around and found the previous customer's package. She turned around and looked up, and was startled by the exaggerated afro in front of her.
The hair that stood up like a hedgehog, the thick side bangs that covered half of her eyes, the tight vest and low-crotch pants were so trendy that she thought it was the rainy season in the middle of summer.
Is non-mainstream popular among young people now?
Zhao Ruyue couldn't understand it but she respected it. She no longer considered these young people's attire as abnormal.
Instead, the young man outside the counter was a little surprised to see how natural she was. Since he walked in, everyone else in the store couldn't help but sneak a peek at him.
He has become accustomed to people looking at him strangely, and when someone doesn't think he is strange, he still feels strange.
After picking up the package, the trendy guy walked out and said to his friend, "You can come to this store. The boss looked very calm when she saw me. I heard that the price for repairing mobile phones is also fair. Other stores have increased the price of downloading music, but hers has never increased the price."
As a result, more and more people came to Zhao Ruyue's store for express delivery and to their store to do online shopping, and almost all the new customers were fashionable men and women.
As a result, she sold a lot of mobile phones, and they also liked to come to her to top up their phone bills.
Zhao Ruyue had never seen these fashionable men and women before, but since one of them appeared in the store, she could see them often in the store.
Especially after a grocery store next to her store closed down and was sold, the person who bought the store opened a new milk tea shop, and more young people like to hang out around here.
After seeing them more often, Zhao Ruyue became familiar with them and when she asked them, she found out that many of these trendy young people worked as workers on the assembly line in the industrial area opposite.
Many of them used to work outside, but since the successful construction of the industrial park and the attraction of many enterprises, some of those who went out to work in the past two years who did not want to be too far away from home chose to work in the factories in the industrial park.
In the past, they entered and exited through the gate on the other side of the industrial zone, where there was also a mobile phone store. They spent more money in the store over there, but recently some people found that they were being cheated.
I just wanted to change the place, and a friend recommended it to me, so we all came here.
Zhao Ruyue estimated that the owner of the store they used to go to must be regretting his decision now.
Most of these young people have no concept of saving money. Once they have money in their pockets, they want to buy a new model of mobile phone when they see one.
Second-hand mobile phones are also sold to Zhao Ruyue’s store.
A new nice slider phone just happened to be released recently, and Zhao Ruyue’s store sold quite a few of them, most of which were bought by these young people.
Zhao Ruyue went home and asked her son who was in junior high school, "Are there any students in your school who have exaggerated hair and clothing styles?"
"Mom, do you mean non-mainstream? There are none in our class, but there are a few in the third grade, and they are now the celebrities of our school."
Zhao Ruyue looked at her son, seeming to be hesitant to speak. It was not her business to tell other children how they dressed, but if her own child covered half of his eyes, she would definitely feel awkward seeing it every day.
It may also affect vision.
But what if the child really likes it, would it be considered interfering too much with the child's hobbies if she stops him?
After all, it's just a dress up.
When Ning Shiqiu saw his mother like this, he guessed what she wanted to say.
"Mom, don't worry about me. I don't like that kind of dress. I like it as simple as possible, and it's best if I don't have any accessories on my body." He found it very troublesome to wear a red scarf and a class name in elementary school, not to mention that he saw those celebrities in the school wearing all kinds of chains and rings...
"Then I feel relieved. Actually, I am just worried that having bangs will affect my eyesight. If it is really affected, it will be difficult for me to recover in the future."
Ning Shixia, who was sitting next to him, also said, "Mom, you don't have to worry about me. I also like to keep it simple."
Zhao Ruyue smiled and said, "Our Xiaoxia is the best behaved."
"Yes, yes," Ning Shixia leaned over and hugged her arms, "Can I have the same hairstyle as my brother?"
"Ah?" Zhao Ruyue, who had just praised her for being the best, was stunned. "You want to shave your head too?"
Ning Shixia looked expectant: "Yes! Is it okay?"
Zhao Ruyue subconsciously wanted to say that girls can’t shave their heads, but then she thought, who said that girls can’t shave their heads?
"You have to think it over carefully. If you promise not to regret it, mom will shave your hair." There were shaving tools at home, and she helped trim the hair of Ning Shaoming, Ning Shixia and Yao Ju.
Ning Shixia cheered and immediately promised: "I don't regret it, absolutely not!"
Zhao Ruyue turned around and saw Ning Shaoming with a resentful look on his face: "What's with that expression? Xiaoxia asked you, and you didn't agree?"
Ning Shaoming nodded and shook his head: "My daughter did ask me, but I didn't disagree. I told her to ask you."
His pretty and lovely daughter is about to become a tomboy. His originally good son and daughter are going to become two "sons". He must be very upset.
Zhao Ruyue understood. He thought he would never agree, but he ended up agreeing.
She said with a smile: "Oh my, what should I do? You didn't even tell me in advance."
Ning Shaoming's eyes became more resentful: "Where is the tacit understanding between us?"
"Maybe he was eaten by the heavenly dog during the last eclipse of the moon."
Ning Shaoming: “…”
When Ning Shixia heard her mother's words, she laughed out loud without caring about her father's resentment.
Before getting ready to take a bath, she urged Zhao Ruyue to shave her head first. She knew a lot: "Mom, I'll shave my hair first and then take a bath, so my neck won't be pricked by the broken hair."
Three of the four members of the family agreed that Ning Shixia should have her hair cut. Ning Shaoming struggled alone until the moment before Ning Shixia's hair was shaved, and persuaded his daughter: "Xiaoxia, why don't we cut our hair into a mushroom style? It will be as cute and beautiful as a little mushroom!"
Ning Shixia: "No, I don't want a mushroom-shaped haircut. Some people in my grade have mushroom-shaped haircuts. They look like little idiots, and they have to comb their hair and take care of it. It's hot in the summer. It's more convenient to have a buzz cut. It dries easily after washing and wiping. They don't have to comb or tie their hair. It's very cool in the summer."
"How about cutting your hair short? That's easier to take care of."
"don't want."
It was not until the moment when the awl shaved off Ning Shixia's hair that Ning Shaoming gave up and sighed.
Zhao Ruyue was too lazy to pay attention to him. She didn't know what men were thinking. Would she no longer be his daughter if she shaved her hair?
Facts have proved that his daughter is still his daughter. Ning Shaoming only feels awkward for a few days, and then when his daughter acts coquettishly towards him, he will adjust himself.
However, on the night Ning Shixia had her head shaved, Yao Ju was not sleeping at their house and was not able to see it first.
The next day when I went to school, I didn't recognize Ning Shixia at first. I saw Ning Shiqiu coming to school with a little boy. He didn't bring Ning Shixia, and he seemed to be taking special care of the little boy.
Yao Ju was also indignant for Ning Shixia, feeling that someone else had taken away Ning Shixia's brother's love for her.
He immediately ran over to question Ning Shiqiu, and shouted at him from a distance: "Xiaoqiu, where is Xiaoxia? Whose child is that you are holding?"
As a result, the short boy that Ning Shiqiu was holding turned around, waved at him and laughed, "Brother Saw, it's me! Am I handsome?"
Yao Ju slammed on the brakes and looked at Ning Shixia in disbelief: "You, you, you, so you are a boy?"
Ning Shiqiu and Ning Shixia: "..."
"What's that look in your eyes?" Ning Shiqiu glanced at him with disdain, "Why don't you take a closer look?"
Yao Ju looked around Ning Shixia and said, "I can't tell."
Ning Shixia originally inherited her parents' fair skin, but she ran around in the sun all day and got tanned like a dark boy. Her skin would only turn white in winter.
Ning Shiqiu said helplessly: "Then come home with me for dinner after school today, and I'll take out my household registration booklet and show it to you."
Yao Ju nodded and said, "Okay."
Then he looked at Ning Shixia and praised her: "You are indeed quite handsome, much more handsome than your brother."
Ning Shiqiu: "..." You said you want to praise her, so why do you have to bring me along...
Then after school, Yao Ju actually went back with them to look at the household registration book, which left Ning Shiqiu speechless.
*
Zhao Ruyue originally thought that given the complicated relationship between Lin Lili and her boyfriend, her plan to open a shop and buy a house in the city might have to be delayed until after Sun Jiajia got married.
Unexpectedly, Lin Lili was really different this time. She said that she would break up with her boyfriend after helping him deal with those dinner parties. After dealing with them, she really broke up decisively.
As soon as they broke up, he immediately made an appointment with Zhao Ruyue to go to the city to look at shops and houses.
I only visited the place once and made a booking on the same day. A few days later, I was already planning on decorating the place.
Later, her ex-boyfriend had a dinner party and wanted to ask Lin Lili for help, and even said that if Lin Lili was willing to help, he would get back together with Lin Lili.
Lin Lili, who loved him so much at the beginning that she didn't even care about knowing that he was secretly in contact with his first love, was completely unmoved this time.
After we really broke up, I never looked back and focused on my career.
Zhao Ruyue introduced to Lin Lili the decoration company she had used before.
The decoration company's business in the county is booming and it also wants to expand into the city.
But the competition in the city is much more intense than in the county. They have no background or support, and they are not locals, so their business in the city is progressing very slowly.
An old customer was so happy that he suddenly got such a business deal that he said he wanted to give Zhao Ruyue a commission.
Zhao Ruyue couldn't refuse, and after receiving the introduction fee, she gave it to Lin Lili.
Lin Lili didn't want to buy it at first, but the prices of houses and shops in the county town were not as expensive as in the city. She used the money from selling the shop and house in the county town, but she couldn't buy a house in the city with full payment.
After paying the down payment and taking out a loan to buy the shop and the house, she had little money left as she had to use for both renovation and opening the shop.
In addition, she was young and could not resist Zhao Ruyue's persuasion. Zhao Ruyue said that the money should be returned to her, and it was the same among acquaintances. So she had no choice but to accept the money.
Later, Lin Lili was very glad that she did not refuse for the sake of face and accepted the money.
Because later she invested all her money into the store, and relied on this money as living expenses. She was able to survive until the store started to generate income, and she did not have to borrow money from others because of insufficient living expenses.
While Lin Lili was busy opening a shop, Sun Jiajia and Ning Shichun were also busy preparing for their wedding.
After Sun Jiajia and Ning Shichun decided to get married, the man began to go through the formalities according to custom.
Even if they are in a free love relationship, when they want to get married, they have to follow the local customs step by step.
First, the man proposes the marriage, asks about the woman’s horoscope, and has it calculated. Then, the parents and relatives of both parties have a meal together.
Originally, this was the process of the man and woman meeting their parents, but because the two families lived close to each other and had known each other for a long time, this step was just a formality.
After a while, on an auspicious day, the man will give the woman a betrothal gift, which is equivalent to an engagement.
Ning Shaoxian has been released from prison, so this matter has to be handled by Ning Shaoxian and Wang Haiyan. Ning Shichun feels it is shameful to let his father go, but he cannot stop him from going.
Other relatives only need to help carry the gifts to the girl's house and then have a meal at the girl's house.
After the engagement, gifts have to be given once more and the wedding date has to be asked. The wedding date is calculated by the elders on the woman's side, but the money for calculating the wedding date has to be paid by the man.
The last part is the wedding, picking up the bride and holding the wedding banquet.
The Ning family hadn't held a wedding for many years after Ning Shaoming got married. This time it was a rare wedding and many relatives came.
Ye Jing originally thought that he would take this opportunity to ask relatives to persuade Ning Shaoming. After all, they were blood brothers, so how could they hold a grudge for so long?
But she forgot that times have changed. Ning Shaoming is now the most promising person of the Ning family's generation. Other relatives are looking forward to Ning Shaoming bringing their own children along, and are eager to curry favor with his family. How could they possibly offend Ning Shaoming for her and Ning Lao Er?
What's more, what Ning Laoer did was not reasonable. When Ning Laoer was proud, he never helped his relatives at all. They had no reason to speak for him.
So during the entire process of Ning Shichun's marriage, no relative mentioned the breakup between Ning Shaoming and his second brother in front of Ning Shaoming and Zhao Ruyue.
Ning Shichun originally didn't want to invite them to the party, but Ning Shaoxian said that he was his second uncle and it would be rude not to invite him, so he insisted on inviting Ning Laoer's family as well.
Ning Shichun was so angry that after the wedding, instead of staying at home for a while as per custom, he took his wife to live in the house he bought in the county town the next day.
On the third day after the wedding, I went to the woman's home to pay my respects. I bought the gifts myself and brought them back from the county town.
Wang Haiyan was angry that Ning Shaoxian had driven her son away, and she quarreled with him every day.
