Chapter 94
Cui Panpan began to look for Ni Hao consistently.
Ni Hao seemed to have really come to terms with it. When Wang Mengmei asked him what he was going to do, he smiled bitterly and said, "I know Panpan likes me, and I like her too. But..."
But he was really too tired.
The family members don’t want to, Cui Panpan’s parents don’t want to, both sets of parents are against it, even if they are together, can they really stay together?
That day, Cui Panpan pulled him to save her mother. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that her mother was pretending to be unconscious, but Cui Panpan rushed forward without hesitation and asked him to give in.
Ni Hao felt cold whenever he thought of the scene that day.
He is willing to leave his family for Cui Panpan. Is Cui Panpan willing?
Cui Panpan would feel worried whenever her father looked at her or her mother cried out in pain.
After marriage, he would be afraid if he was standing there alone.
The fifth time Cui Panpan came, Ni Hao made his thoughts clear.
Cui Panpan started crying again, her voice choking: "Do you want me to abandon my parents and watch them suffer?"
Ni Hao just felt a headache: "I don't have..."
Ni Hao couldn't say anything to the crying Cui Panpan.
He wanted to say that Cui Panpan's parents were clearly in their prime, and the couple were not at the point where they could not make ends meet.
Cui Panpan has been selling vegetables at her own stall in recent years, and also has to work as a waiter at other small restaurants in the evening.
She gave all the money she earned back home because she felt sorry for the hard life her parents had. However, Ni Hao clearly saw that Cui's parents often visited the brine stall, but the meat they bought back never included Cui Panpan's.
Ni Hao wanted to persuade Cui Panpan, but Cui Panpan would not listen to anything anymore.
Cui Panpan ran away heartbroken. Ni Hao turned around and met Xue Ling who had just returned from buying seasonings.
Xue Ling was extremely embarrassed, she really didn't want to eavesdrop, it was just a coincidence.
Both of them were extremely embarrassed and went back to the store without saying anything.
…
Ni Hao thought that he had made his words clear and Cui Panpan would not come again.
But Cui Panpan still came often, and sometimes she would stand outside waiting for him. If Ni Hao didn't come out, she would just wait.
Sometimes, she would follow Ni Hao resentfully while he was buying groceries.
Xue Ling quietly complained to Wang Mengmei: "Now, in our store, regular customers come and go, but she and the account-hanging expert come every day."
Wang Mengmei: …
The person who fiddled with the accounts is none other than the landlord, Ms. Zheng.
Xue Ling is in charge of the store's orders, which are recorded in the account book. Others clear their accounts once a month, but Sister Zheng's book is getting thicker and thicker.
Xue Ling was so angry that she complained that the other person was a scammer.
Just as I was talking about the account-hanging expert, Sister Zheng happened to come in through the door, lifting the curtain.
Wang Mengmei and Xue Ling couldn't help but laugh.
Sister Zheng was a little puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"
Wang Mengmei suppressed her laughter and said, "Nothing, sister, what happened at home today?"
This is a slander against Sister Zheng. After all, Sister Zheng knows that she is just looking for excuses to hang up the account. She gives so many excuses time and time again that Wang Mengmei always wants to hear what other reasons she can come up with.
Sister Zheng really lived up to everyone's expectations and delivered a powerful speech as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Your brother-in-law was bitten by a dog yesterday."
Sister Zheng spoke very seriously, as if a dog really had bitten her husband.
"I have to nourish him. Mei, stew a chicken for me and give me the fried tofu from the day before yesterday."
Wang Mengmei was convinced that someone could even say something like "being bitten by a dog".
She went to the kitchen for a look and came out to start making excuses.
"Sis, we don't have a whole chicken today, so I'll give you some chicken nuggets and stewed potatoes."
As long as it can bring benefits, Sister Zheng doesn't care about the details and readily agrees: "Okay, okay, okay."
Wang Mengmei handed the vegetables out. Sister Zheng rolled her eyes and thought that it was already October, so she should get the vaccination in advance.
"Mei, I just want to tell you something."
"We'll have to recalculate the rent for your storefront when the new year begins."
Sister Zheng held her breath and planned to raise the price to 1,300 at once, or at least 1,100.
She looked at Wang Mengmei's display with a smile: "We have been together for such a long time, I won't ask you for anything, how about this, you go back and discuss it with your boss, and we can come up with a number."
Sister Zheng was cautious, fearing that if she said too much at the beginning, Wang Mengmei would end up breaking up with her, so she planned to test the waters first.
"Your brother-in-law and I don't have much talent, we just rely on this shop to make money. You don't know that now is the time when the children need money... We thought that we wouldn't increase the price too much, just increase it by half from the original basis."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Mengmei's original intention to have a nice conversation suddenly stopped.
Increase by half, which is twelve thousand!
Is the man surnamed Zheng confused?
Sister Zheng picked up her lunch box and was about to leave happily.
Wang Mengmei also smiled and stopped the person: "Sis, it's just that you said so. I'll make friends with you too."
"I don't plan to rent this store anymore."
Sister Zheng’s head buzzed.
Wang Mengmei didn't say anything else. After that, she sent the person out in a friendly tone.
Sister Zheng panicked: "What's wrong, Xiaomei? The place is rented well, why do you want to stop renting it? Is it about the rent? We can still discuss it!"
Wang Mengmei smiled and said, "Sister, it's nothing, it's just a normal store transfer. Go back and discuss it with your brother-in-law and find someone to take over the store as soon as possible. Don't let the store be empty later, it won't look good."
After pushing the person out, Wang Mengmei returned to the store, feeling refreshed.
Xue Ling calculated the accounts: "She should have been treated like this a long time ago!"
All the landlords on this street are as unreasonable as her.
"You really think that our business is good because of her shop. You are out of your mind."
…
Sister Zheng went home carrying her lunch box. She was still dazed when she got home. She couldn't understand why Wang Mengmei said she didn't want to rent the house.
Her husband opened the lunch box and said, "Chicken nuggets and potatoes. Didn't they say there was a whole chicken?"
Sister Zheng didn't say anything, so her husband poked her and said, "I'm asking you, next time you go back, you have to give her a lesson. Why can't she treat us with this kind of food every time?"
Originally, the family's income was not enough to eat meat every day, but since Sister Zheng became addicted to taking advantage of Wang Mengmei, Sister Zheng's husband also gradually developed a picky eating habit.
Wang Mengmei’s cooking skills are beyond the reach of any of their family, and the food is very filling and filling.
It’s only been a short time and the whole family has gained a lot of weight.
"Hey, I'm talking to you!"
Sister Zheng’s husband poked her, and Sister Zheng came back to her senses.
After coming to her senses, she panicked and grabbed her husband's arm: "What should we do? Wang Mengmei said she doesn't want to rent it anymore!"
Sister Zheng's husband stood up immediately: "Ah? She doesn't want to rent it anymore? What did you do?"
Sister Zheng stammered, "I didn't do anything! I just went to order food and then hung up the account... I didn't do anything!"
"Then why do you say you won't rent it anymore?"
Sister Zheng: "I don't know! I just said I wanted to talk about the rent, and she said she didn't want to rent it anymore!"
Sister Zheng still felt a little aggrieved: "I really didn't say anything! She changed the dishes for me, and I didn't say anything unpleasant."
Zheng's husband didn't believe it: "You must be unhappy with where you got her, otherwise why would you stop renting it out of the blue?"
Sister Zheng was so anxious that she almost swore, "I really didn't! I just asked for a chicken and grilled tofu when I went in, and they asked for the rent, and I didn't even tell them the exact amount!"
Just waiting for Wang Mengmei to bargain!
But how could she not bargain?
Zheng's husband was also panicked: "Didn't you ask her why she didn't rent it?"
"She didn't say anything! She just told me to find someone to take over the house."
Sister Zheng's husband was sitting on the sofa with a frown on his face, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Sister Zheng didn't know what to do, so she pulled his sleeve and asked, "What's going on?"
Sister Zheng's husband raised his eyelids: "What do you think?"
Sister Zheng let go of her hand with a sense of grievance: "I just... I just went to order some food, it didn't cost her much."
Even if she has been going there more often recently, how many people are there in her family? Even if she eats there every day, she still can't get enough. Why is she so fussy?
At this moment, the couple began to blame each other.
"She owns a shop. I told you to go there once every three days. But you've been going there almost every day lately. You're annoying her!"
"You're still blaming me? You're the one who eats the most of the food I bring back! You even ate the soup from the chicken and beans yesterday!"
"I eat more, and you eat less? Look how much weight you've gained in the past few months!"
"Okay, you said I'm fat, but don't you look at your own belly? It's almost sagging!"
"...Don't think about who has eaten more! Think about when she was unhappy."
Sister Zheng looked embarrassed: "How can I tell..."
As a boss, he would not tolerate people giving up free food. She had been there so many times, and Wang Mengmei had never said anything harsh, but she showed it on her face.
Zheng Jie's husband: "What should we do now?"
Sister Zheng whispered, "How about we raise the price a little less?"
Sister Zheng’s husband sneered: “They said they don’t want to rent it anymore. Do you think you haven’t asked around about the rents around here?”
I'm afraid he already knew that the money he gave was three hundred higher.
"What should I do?"
Sister Zheng said angrily, "I did offer a high price, but if it weren't for our good storefront, would she be able to do business?"
Sister Zheng is usually superstitious and always thinks that Wang Mengmei's success is inseparable from the wealth of her house.
"If she leaves us, she might not be able to continue working anytime soon!"
Sister Zheng had some vicious thoughts in her heart. She always hoped that Wang Mengmei would move to another place and could not continue working there, and then she would cry and beg her to rent the house to her again.
Then she would rent it to her for two thousand a month! Three thousand!
Seeing his wife indulged in fantasy, Zheng Jie's husband couldn't help but break her thoughts.
"I think you'd better stop dreaming."
The reason why they have good business is because they do good work.
Besides, if your own store brings wealth, why did the previous breakfast shop go bankrupt?
Sister Zheng said stubbornly: "That family in front is just unlucky!"
The couple talked about it for a long time, but in the end they still had no idea.
Sister Zheng said that she would leave when she wanted to, but on the other hand, she also knew that if she rented the house out again, the average price of 500 yuan a month would not be able to be higher.
In the end, Sister Zheng’s husband said in a gloomy voice, “That’s enough, stop having these bad ideas.”
He pointed to the lunch box on the table and said, "Go and settle the bill."
If you don't get married soon, I guess people won't even want to talk to you anymore.
