Li Zhenhua stayed at home for one day and then left again.
Yu Huimin breathed a sigh of relief as her husband left.
When the mother and son were eating together, she suddenly asked.
"Xiaowei, if, just suppose, Mom and you were to leave home and live somewhere else, would you be willing?"
Li Wei looked at her with a strange expression. "Mom, are you sick?"
"No, Mom was just asking casually."
"Why would you leave if you're not crazy?"
Upon hearing her son's answer, Yu Huimin's mood immediately plummeted.
She didn't know and dared not tell her son the truth about her birth, but when she thought of Lu Chenggong, she felt that this matter would be exposed sooner or later.
But my son is already so old, not a little kid anymore. I can't just coax him. So how can I get him to accept Lu Chenggong as his biological father?
After spending several years in prison, her obsession with being the wife of a high-ranking official is not as strong as it used to be.
After all, this identity didn't help much when she got into trouble.
If Lu Chenggong were wealthy enough now, she would rather follow him to live a good life.
That's right, her son is interested in doing business, and she immediately had an idea.
"Xiaowei, Mom knows a very successful businessman. Do you want me to take you to meet him next time?"
"Really? What kind of business do you do? How big is it?" Li Wei immediately became interested.
"Mom doesn't know yet, but your uncle is very capable." She smiled when she mentioned her sweetheart.
Li Wei was somewhat skeptical. "Alright, you can introduce me to him when you have the chance." Whether he's impressive or not, he can find out by asking him himself once they meet.
Seeing that her son was willing to meet, Yu Huimin was overjoyed and couldn't wait to tell Lu Chenggong the good news.
...
Zhao Qinglan was still looking for a suitable shop in the city when news came from the military.
Sun Shengli personally called her over.
"Qinglan, the higher-ups have approved this. If there's anything the troupe needs to do, just let us know."
"Really, that's wonderful!" she exclaimed excitedly.
Thinking that Li Huai and she were husband and wife and would be able to communicate well on many things, Sun Shengli put Political Commissar Zhou Hai in charge of the matter, with Li Huai also involved.
With the military involved, many things become much easier.
With letters of introduction and relevant certificates from the military, things like renting shops and purchasing ingredients are much easier for them than before.
There are also hired hands.
Now that there are fewer things to worry about, Zhao Qinglan wants to expand the scale this time.
Upon learning that things were going smoothly and the new store would be opening soon, Zhao Qingzhu and Sun Shi were both very excited.
While the mother and daughter were arguing about who should stay home to take care of the child and the other should go to the city to help, Zhao Qinglan dropped a bombshell.
"I plan to resign from my current teaching job."
“Qinglan, that won’t do. Being a teacher is such a wonderful job.” Mrs. Sun was the first to disagree.
It's prestigious to have a daughter who's a teacher.
Besides, being a teacher at a military elementary school is a great job—not tiring and close to home. If it weren't for my daughter's talent in getting into university, this good opportunity would never have come her way.
In recent years, Mrs. Sun has gained a lot of experience and realized how wonderful it is for her daughter to have the opportunity to become a teacher.
Once the college entrance examination is reinstated, batches of college students will graduate, and the teachers will definitely be these same people. There won't be any room for those without proper qualifications.
Even Zhao Qingzhu felt it was inappropriate after hearing it.
She herself hadn't attended school for many years, but that didn't mean she didn't envy her older sister.
Zhao Qinglan, the eldest sister, was practically her idol and role model.
Li Huai, on the other hand, was only slightly surprised when he heard his wife's decision.
"Mom, listen to me first. I've already thought it through." She used to be a teacher because the job wasn't too tiring, and there were winter and summer vacations. Mainly, she had a relatively relaxed job back then.
But now, the snack shop wants to expand, and it's still affiliated with the military.
There weren't enough people in the family, and she didn't feel comfortable letting her younger sister handle this alone. After thinking it over, she decided it was better for her to step forward and do it herself.
In the past, she only received a share of the profits from the snack shop without interfering in the business, and she didn't want people in the residential area to know how much she took, because she was afraid it would affect her husband's work.
But this time, since the store was originally under the military's name, even if she stepped forward to take the lead, those who knew wouldn't say anything.
She could only earn a little money as a teacher, and being a teacher wasn't really her hobby.
Zhao Qinglan naturally couldn't reveal all of her thoughts, only saying what she felt she could.
Regardless of her reasons, Li Huai expressed his support first.
Mrs. Sun is more opinionated than before, but she also knows that her daughter Zhao Qinglan has even bigger ideas. Once she's made up her mind to do something, even she, as her mother, can't stop her.
Zhao Qingzhu was persuaded after hearing her sister's idea.
Zhao Qinglan essentially gave up her secure job and resigned to start her own business.
Whether it was the school leaders and teachers or other people in the residential area, everyone found it unbelievable that Zhao Qinglan had resigned from her teaching job. Some even made sarcastic remarks in private, thinking that Zhao Qinglan had probably gone mad.
Zhao Qinglan took over the management of the newly opened store.
After deducting the share given to the military, the rest was divided among the mother and her daughters.
However, given that she was the one who basically orchestrated and managed this matter, the Sun family did not want a share of the profits.
However, Zhao Qinglan would never truly refuse to give her anything.
Of the remaining shares, she contributed the most and took the lion's share, but her mother and sister still received theirs.
