Zhao Qinglan had no idea that Qian Hongxia and her husband had another wicked idea for them.
As the days get hotter, Zhao Qinglan thought about getting an electric fan for her home.
She had received several dividends, so she had quite a bit of money on hand.
Buying an electric fan is no small matter, especially when you're buying more than one at once.
She then discussed with Li Huai that they would go to the city together on his day off, since she hadn't seen her mother and sister for a long time.
Li Huai naturally agreed; he didn't want his wife to get too hot, so if she wanted an electric fan, then they could buy it.
As before, he made arrangements for the car in advance.
On their day off, they ate breakfast at home and then set off together, leaving their three children behind.
Upon arriving in the city, the family first went to a snack shop.
Upon seeing her daughter and son-in-law arrive, Mrs. Sun quickly put down what she was doing and led them inside to sit down.
There were quite a few customers in the shop, but fortunately, the Zhao sisters were able to handle the situation for the time being.
Seeing that her daughter had gained a lot of weight and looked much better, Mrs. Sun felt relieved.
"Your belly is getting bigger every day, so try not to go out too much."
"Mom, what are you saying? Do you think I'm that unreasonable? We have important business in the city this time."
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Sun asked, puzzled.
"Don't you think it's getting hotter and hotter? We were planning to go look at electric fans. By the way, Mom, do you want to buy one too?"
Sun had never seen an electric fan in the village before, but he had heard of them.
"Hey, we don't need that, a fan is enough."
That's right, villagers don't have so many rules.
In the hot summer, all you need is a cooling mat and a fan; you're not that delicate.
However, seeing her daughter and her son-in-law who only had eyes for her daughter, Mrs. Sun did not say anything to stop them from buying.
She now understands her eldest daughter's personality; she spends money very quickly. However, her daughter is married with children now, and she can't control how her daughter spends her own money.
Although her mother's personality had changed a lot, Zhao Qinglan knew that her mother was still only willing to spend money on necessities. An electric fan was probably something that her mother considered dispensable.
Her mother didn't stop her from buying it, nor did she force her to buy it now.
After working for a while, they told their mother to continue her work while they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to look at electric fans.
Electric fans also require tickets, but they are not as sought-after as bicycles or watches.
Because in many people's eyes, a cooling mat or a fan is enough for summer, and an electric fan is not a necessity.
They also prepared the tickets for the electric fan, two in total.
When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, the staff behind the counter were delighted to hear that they wanted to buy electric fans.
This electric fan has been sitting unused for quite some time.
Upon learning that Zhao Qinglan and her group needed two more units, they quickly moved their things out.
At the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhao Qinglan asked someone to find a place with electricity and plugged in the electric fan to test it.
Only after finding that both fans were working properly did he take out his money and buy the electric fan.
These two devices, naturally, one is for their room and the other is for the children.
If you feel hot in the living room, just bring the things from inside the house out.
Fortunately, Li Huai drove, so they were able to transport the two electric fans back.
After buying the electric fan, Zhao Qinglan naturally wouldn't leave immediately, since it wasn't easy for her to go out into the city these days.
After buying some other things at the supply and marketing cooperative, the family returned to the snack shop.
The busiest time for the snack shop has just passed.
The family ate a meal at the snack shop.
There were plenty of ingredients for the hot pot, so they cooked a big pot and ate it together.
Knowing that they had bought an electric fan, Zhao Qingzhu and her sister were very curious.
Zhao Qinglan had her husband bring one down and put it in their shop for a trial run.
Feeling the cool breeze, Zhao Qingju couldn't help but say, "Mom, this thing is really good, let's buy one too."
“Yes, Mom, when we’re busy during the day, we put it in the shop to air out, and then we move it back inside when we go to bed at night,” Zhao Qingzhu chimed in.
With both of her daughters saying so, Mrs. Sun was somewhat tempted.
She only realized how comfortable it was after experiencing the electric fan firsthand.
Ever since Zhao Qingzhu and her sister started running the shop together and gradually became the backbone of their little family, Mrs. Sun has been paying more and more attention to her two daughters' opinions.
Especially the store's profits; even if her share remains untouched, her two daughters will still have money to buy things themselves.
However, before her daughters got married, Mrs. Sun still felt that she, as the mother, should be in charge of the major expenses of the household, and that she should pay for everything.
"Okay, then let's buy it. We'll use Mom's money."
Seeing that her mother had given in, Zhao Qinglan winked at her husband.
After finishing this story, Zhao Qinglan suddenly thought of something.
"Qingzhu, where is that wonton shop you mentioned? Point it out to me."
The two sisters left the store.
"Look, that one over there, sis, do you see it?"
Following the direction her sister pointed, Zhao Qinglan saw it clearly.
However, because it was too far away, all we could see was the storefront.
"Xiaoduo, come here." She waved to the shop.
"What's wrong, Mom?"
"Let's go for a stroll over there with Mom."
"Should I come along?" Li Huai asked.
"No need, Xiaoduo and I will go." Too many people would be too conspicuous.
Holding her daughter's hand, Zhao Qinglan strolled over leisurely.
"Xiaoduo, when we get to that shop, just say you lost something, and we'll look for it together, okay?"
"Mom, are you trying to lie?"
"No, this isn't lying, it's acting."
"oh."
As soon as they arrived at the store entrance, Xiaoduo started to put her ideas to use.
"Mom, Mom, I dropped something."
"What's gone?"
"Well, my hair clip." After thinking for a moment, Xiaoduo finally managed to braid one.
"Wait for Mom to help you find it."
Pretending to look for something, Zhao Qinglan secretly peered into the shop.
At this time, even the time-honored shops had no customers, making this place even more deserted.
The three people were sitting in two places inside the room.
Having glanced around and not discerning anything, Zhao Qinglan was about to leave when another person came out. Startled, she immediately pulled her daughter to the door, but instead of leaving right away, she hid.
"With you guys like this, how can our store do well?" Qian Hongxia said angrily.
“Hongxia, how can you blame us? We came all this way to help you. We deserve some credit for our hard work, right? I won’t say anything more, just pay me my wages for this month.” Her sister-in-law complained.
"It hasn't even been a month yet, and you're already asking me for my wages," Qian Hongxia said angrily.
Her sister-in-law originally wanted to ask for money too, but seeing this, she had no choice but to swallow her words.
Qian Hongxia's voice was quite loud; even though Zhao Qinglan was hiding behind the door, she could hear it clearly.
A wave of emotion surged within her.
This shop actually belongs to Qian Hongxia?
