Zhou Sui looked up and saw a girl with a good figure and a pretty face standing at the door.
He wore a white cotton-linen shirt, black tapered trousers, and matching lace-up leather shoes.
She looked very energetic, and most importantly, her smile gave people a very approachable feeling.
Li Qiuju stood up and went to greet her, "Are you Meimei?"
Because Zhou Meimei was very young when she first met her, and after many years, Li Qiuju herself was not sure if she was sure.
"Aunt, it's me." Zhou Meimei affectionately took Li Qiuju's arm.
"You're still the same as when I was a child; you haven't changed much over the years."
"Haha, Auntie has gotten old, she's not the same as before."
Li Qiuju laughed, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes wrinkled together.
"You're not old at all. Otherwise, how could I have recognized you so quickly after all these years? It's because you're still the same as before."
These words made Li Qiuju grin from ear to ear. "Hehe, Meimei really knows how to make her aunt happy."
Zhou Sui closed the notebook on the table, but before she could speak, Zhou Meimei had already noticed her.
"Aunt, is this my cousin Sui Sui?"
"Yes, that's right." Li Qiuju turned around and introduced the two of them.
"Sui Sui, this is my second cousin's daughter, Xiao Mei."
Zhou Sui stood up, smiled slightly, and called out, "Sister Xiaomei."
Compared to Zhou Sui's usual demeanor, Zhou Meimei appeared very enthusiastic.
"I knew it was my cousin Sui Sui, she's so pretty."
"Wow, what does Sui Sui usually put on her face? Her skin is so white."
Zhou Sui's lips twitched. Her skin was fair because she didn't do any work and stayed at home, which made her fair skin.
"Hey, I saw this dress in the city a while ago. It was very expensive, and a lot of people tried it on, but no one looked as good in it as Sui Sui."
"Look at how slim her waist is, I'm so envious. Look at my big waist, it's probably going to burst this dress."
Such compliments are truly pleasing to the ear.
"Sister Xiaomei is too modest. Your figure is truly enviable."
They're only a year older than me. Look at those surging waves, and then look at my little hill.
Well, how should I put it, I am a little envious.
"Hehehe." Zhou Meimei covered her mouth and laughed. "Sui Sui is really good at joking."
Zhou Sui didn't respond. This cousin of hers was quite eloquent and had a lot of enthusiasm.
After rambling on for a while, Zhou Sui wanted to get to the point quickly, as she had other things to do later.
Just as I was about to speak, a black car suddenly drove past the entrance and stopped next to the store.
The car door opened, and a tall, slender man stepped out.
The moment the man appeared, Zhou Meimei's eyes widened in disbelief.
What a handsome man!
"Auntie, Sui Sui." Song Qi'an strode into the store and greeted Li Qiuju and Zhou Sui.
Zhou Sui looked at him in surprise, "You're all healed and you're driving yourself?"
It's only been three days since I went to the Zhao family.
"It's just a superficial injury, nothing serious," Song Qi'an explained to her.
"I've already been to the hospital, and everything's fine. The police station has closed the case, so I drove here myself."
Li Qiuju couldn't help but say, "You young people are so healthy; you've recovered in just a few days."
She's getting on in years; it takes her a few days to recover from a minor injury.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Auntie will get you some."
Song Qi'an comes to the store mainly to eat.
He had barely nodded when Zhou Sui said, "Mom, don't we still have the fish soup we saved from lunch?"
"Yes, there is fish soup."
"Little Song's injury has just healed, so he needs to eat something nutritious. Auntie will heat up some fish soup for you; that fish soup is so delicious."
As Li Qiuju was about to walk towards the backyard, Zhou Sui stopped her.
"Mom, I'll go. That way you can take care of the guests if they come over to eat later."
Zhou Sui led the people to the backyard, and Zhou Meimei took the opportunity to ask.
"Auntie, who is that?"
She seemed to be quite familiar with the Zhou family and Zhou Sui.
"Oh, you mean Xiao Song? His maternal grandfather's family is from our village, and he's friends with Sui Sui."
There was no one in the store at the moment, so Li Qiuju sat down in front of the cashier and invited Zhou Meimei to sit down as well.
"He looks like a rich person."
At that time, a car would cost tens of thousands of yuan, and an ordinary car often cost as much as two or three years' salary for an average family.
Zhou Meimei didn't recognize the car, but just looking at the car parked at the entrance, she felt it must be expensive.
"They are quite wealthy. I heard from Sui Sui that they are some kind of manager or person in charge."
"That one under construction on the east side of town, what's it called..."
Li Qiuju couldn't remember what to say for a moment.
“Commercial housing,” Zhou Meimei immediately replied.
"Yes, that's the one. I'm getting old, and my memory isn't what it used to be."
"Xiao Song is the person in charge there."
Shock caused Zhou Meimei's pupils to dilate; she hadn't expected the Zhou family to know such wealthy people.
The newly built commercial housing in town has always been a topic of conversation, and she heard that the house cost several million to build.
Millions—what a concept! Zhou Meimei felt countless zeros flash through her mind.
Even if the money wasn't paid by that man, since he was in charge, his income must be quite high.
Zhou Meimei was eager to ask something more when she saw Zhou Sui lift the curtain and come out, so she shut her mouth in annoyance.
"You've had your fill of Song?" Li Qiuju asked.
"Yes, Aunt He also prepared some side dishes for him." Aunt He is another handyman in the shop.
Zhou Sui came out to resolve Zhou Meimei's matter as soon as possible.
"Sister Xiaomei, something came up and I was held up. Let's chat and see if we're compatible?"
When Zhou Sui said this, she seemed like a different person, no longer as gentle as she had been when they met earlier.
"Okay, sure." Zhou Meimei nodded.
Zhou Sui led her to a corner and interviewed her just like the others had been interviewed before.
From the moment Zhou Meimei walked in, Zhou Sui knew that she was different from the others.
As expected, Zhou Meimei's math skills, reactions, and speech were even better than Zhou Sui had anticipated.
Zhou Sui's initial intention to refuse with a random excuse wavered, after all, she needed someone right now, and Zhou Meimei was a suitable candidate.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Zhou Meimei sat upright, her hands folded on her lap, and asked Zhou Sui with confidence and poise.
Zhou Sui smiled slightly. The better Zhou Meimei performed, the deeper her doubts became. She was such an outstanding person, why would she want to work in this small shop?
