Chapter 225 Social People
"Yes, even if they won't rent it to us, we need to know why." Chen Guichang also meant this. "Just ask for us. Whether it works or not is another matter."
"Okay, then I'll go ask Liang Kun tomorrow." Chen Guilan had no choice but to agree. The couple didn't mention the matter of relocating the grave. They sat for a while and then stood up to say goodbye.
When she reached the door, Wang Yunying said with a smile, "Come to my house when you have time. Chen Mei's wedding is coming soon, and as her aunt, you have to be busy for a few days."
"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Chen Guilan didn't want to go, but she didn't refuse.
"Mom, you can ask Liang Kun, but don't ask about this matter." Su Jiaojiao didn't know that Liang Kun was laid off, but she knew that contracting the market was a good job, much better than working.
"I know, I'm just asking." Chen Guilan wasn't that close to Chen Guichang's family. "I just felt that since we all lived in the same neighborhood, we'd see each other every day. It was enough to just be okay on the surface."
"That's it." Su Jiaojiao believed it, "I won't bother with them about the grave relocation. If something like this happens again, I'll just turn my back on them.
If it were her, she would have stopped associating with their family long ago.
But Chen Guilan is different. She is soft-hearted and still cherishes the affection between brothers and sisters.
"That's right. They don't think we are close anyway." Chen Guilan didn't have much affection for Chen Guichang. It was probably because they didn't have a mother, but they had a father after all. It wasn't that they were completely cut off from each other.
Early the next morning, Chen Guilan went to Liang Kun's house.
He had just gotten up when he saw Chen Guilan coming. He hurriedly called her in: "Aunt, come in quickly. Look at the mess my house is in."
The house is well decorated, but a bit messy.
There were clothes all over the sofa, the floor hadn't been mopped for several days, and it smelled of cigarette smoke.
"I came too early." Chen Guilan didn't sit down. She stood at the door and asked him, "Liang Kun, what's going on between you and Chen Jiang?"
"Aunt, which Chen Jiang are you talking about?" Liang Kun pointed out the window, "The one upstairs in front?"
"Yes, the one who wanted to buy the tin restaurant at the Jiaoxian market." Chen Guilan smiled. "He's my nephew from my mother's side. He said you don't agree with him buying the tin restaurant at the market?"
"So he's your nephew!" Liang Kun suddenly realized, "Chen Jiang and I have no grudges against each other, but I really dislike his partner."
"Who is his partner?" Chen Guilan was very curious.
"Gao Meifeng's brother Gao Qiang." Liang Kun snorted coldly, "How can a mistress's brother be any better?"
“…” Chen Guilan didn’t know what to say for a moment.
When they got home, Chen Guilan told Su Jiaojiao what Liang Kun had said: "Liang Kun said that he had a fight with Gao Qiang at the Guolv Hotel and that he disliked him. He also said that whenever he saw Gao Qiang, he wanted to beat him up. Chen Jiangqian should never cooperate with him."
"How did they work together?" Su Jiaojiao had just woken up and was drinking water on the sofa with a pillow in her arms. "Doesn't Gao Qiang work at the Qimei Garment Factory?"
Doesn’t Chen Jiang run a restaurant?
How did they know each other?
"Gao Qiang's grandfather was a shepherd, and he delivered sheep to Chen Jiang's restaurant every few days." Chen Guilan found this unbelievable. "I don't know how Liang Kun found out about this, so he stopped Chen Jiang from selling mutton soup at the market."
"Then tell my uncle's family directly that Liang Kun had a fight with Gao Qiang and that's why Chen Jiang was implicated. Let them handle the rest." Su Jiaojiao was quite surprised that Liang Kun had contracted the Jiaoxian Market.
"Okay, I'll go talk to them." Chen Guilan didn't want the couple to come to her house to talk about this again, so she took the initiative to go to them.
They live in Building 8, at the front row of the complex.
On the way, they met Chen Xiaohong. Chen Xiaohong was busy renovating the outlet room recently and was very busy. She insisted on taking Chen Guilan to her house for a visit.
Chen Guilan couldn't resist her, so she followed her in and sat down.
Chen Xiaohong's house was very clean, with tidy windows and spotless tables. As soon as Chen Guilan sat down, she heard a quarrel coming from upstairs. She couldn't hear what they were arguing about, but she could recognize Wang Yunying's voice.
"The couple has been arguing all night." Chen Xiaohong shrugged. "I don't know what it's about."
Chen Guilan didn't say anything either.
After a while, they heard footsteps on the stairs, as if someone was running downstairs. Chen Xiaohong looked out through the peephole and said, "Your sister-in-law has gone downstairs, and her eldest daughter has gone downstairs too."
"I'll go up and take a look." Chen Guilan didn't want to wait any longer. The New Year was only two days away, and who would care about such a small matter at their home?
"Sister Chen, I'm going back today. Let's get together again after the New Year." Chen Xiaohong sent Chen Guilan to the door. Chen Guilan smiled and said, "Okay, come find us when you get back. I'll make you something delicious."
Chen Guichang, Chen Jiang, and Chen Ju were at home. The two of them were drinking tea and chatting in the living room. Chen Ju was washing dishes in the kitchen. When they saw Chen Guilan coming, Chen Guichang was very enthusiastic: "We were just talking about visiting your house, and here you are."
"Aunt, please sit down." Chen Jiang stood up and offered his seat. Chen Ju also ran out from the kitchen and poured tea for Chen Guilan. "I haven't seen you for a long time. What have you been busy with recently?"
"Still selling leather jackets at the Hualian Department Store." Chen Guilan sat down on the sofa and asked Chen Guichang, "Where's my sister-in-law?"
"She went out with Chen Mei." Chen Guichang didn't mention the couple's quarrel. Chen Jiang and Chen Ju didn't say anything either. Chen Guilan didn't ask any more questions. She said to Chen Guichang, "Brother, I just came out of Liang Kun's house. He said he had a conflict with Gao Qiang."
"Gao Qiang?" Chen Guichang looked at Chen Jiang in confusion. "Is he the grandson of Old Gao, the young man who brought you the sheep?"
"Yes, that's him." Chen Jiang didn't understand and asked Chen Guilan, "Aunt, Gao Qiang is Gao Qiang, and I am me. Why is Liang Kun transferring the conflict with him to me?"
"He thinks you two are partners." Chen Guilan didn't say much and stood up to leave. "You guys are busy. I'm going back first. Jiaojiao is still waiting for me at home!"
"Thank you, Auntie." Chen Jiang took a box of tea and handed it to Chen Guilan. "I was thinking of giving it to you, Auntie, and it just so happened that you took it back."
"I don't drink tea, you guys keep it!" Chen Guilan refused to take it.
"When we're free, let's go see Auntie." Chen Ju said with a smile, "Jiaojiao will take the college entrance examination next year, so you have to spend time with her."
"I'll see you off." Chen Guichang walked Chen Guilan downstairs before speaking, "Guilan, come with me to find Liang Kun. I want to talk to him about this."
"Okay, I'll go with you." Chen Guilan did not refuse.
Chen Guichang went to the storage room downstairs, picked up a box of wine, and followed Chen Guilan to Liang Kun's house.
Liang Kun was about to go out, but out of Chen Guilan's face, he said to Chen Guichang: "I don't want your wine. Ask Chen Jiang to come to me in the market today and I will talk to him."
There was no point in taking back the gift he had brought. Chen Guichang put the wine down and expressed his gratitude profusely: "We live in the same neighborhood and are relatives. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."
Chen Guilan told Su Jiaojiao about this when she got home: "Liang Kun is really different now. He speaks and acts like a normal person."
"He's a social person." Su Jiaojiao thought Liang Kun's approach was very Liang Kun. "Contracting the market is very profitable. My cousin is quite smart."
In the evening, Liang Kun suddenly came with a bag of fruit in his hand.
