Chapter 2828【VIP】
Seeing Liu Xin's tired face and sallow complexion, Xu Shanshan hurriedly welcomed her to sit on the sofa. She then brought her some water and a fruit plate and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
Liu Xin took a breath and said, "I'm pregnant with a very annoying baby. I can't eat or sleep well." She was angry today and even found it difficult to breathe.
Xu Shanshan had taken care of her own mother during her postpartum period as a child, so she naturally understood the difficulties of pregnancy and childbirth. Thinking of Liu Xin's earlier kindness, she couldn't help but advise, "Sister-in-law, now that you're pregnant, you should rest well and not worry about anything else."
As she spoke, Xu Shanshan looked at Zhou Kai with a look of disdain. This guy was getting more and more outrageous.
At this moment, Zhou Kai really wanted to die with Fang Zhiwen. All the money he had earned from selling tapes was lost in an instant. Not only that, his good partner was also poached by him.
Fang Zhiwen was speechless and said, "You stole my business, and I didn't even come to my house to beat you up, yet you have the nerve to come to me? If you're a man, you should be able to return to the business world. Isn't it shameful to come to my house and make a scene?"
"You, you, you clearly did this on purpose, just to set me up."
Damn Fang Zhiwen, he's such a scoundrel! First, he had someone pretend to buy his tapes, forcing him to borrow money to stockpile a large quantity, which he still hasn't sold out. Then, he spread rumors of an upgrade, and borrowed money to buy the materials. Finally, he used the excuse of reporting him to the school to poach Yang Shan, the technician he had finally found.
Damn it! I worked so hard for a whole semester, but ended up in debt.
Zhou Kai really couldn't hold it in any longer, and he was furious and started to cause trouble for Fang Zhiwen in the first month of the year.
Fang Zhiwen nodded confidently and said, "I dug the trap on purpose, but I didn't expect you to fall into it so completely."
"you!"
"Why, you want to fight? Let's go out and challenge each other. Let's make it clear in advance that the loser is not allowed to cry." Fang Zhiwen's sarcastic tone was unbearable for Zhou Kai. However, thinking of the experience of being beaten before, he instinctively swallowed his anger and replied stiffly, "I'm not here to fight with you today."
Xu Shanshan listened with her ears perked up. It turned out that Zhou Kai came here angrily not to settle the score with Fang Zhiwen, but to sell the materials in his hand to Fang Zhiwen.
Uh, this, this posture, it's like forced selling.
Liu Xin then spoke up, pleading, "Shanshan, we really have no other options. Since the twelfth lunar month, people have been coming to our house every day to collect debts. I don't mind it myself, but the children are frightened. I know that since Fang Zhiwen bought the materials, there must be some arrangements for the future."
Zhou Kai was angry and didn't say anything, waiting silently for Liu Xin to clean up his mess.
"Sure, fifty cents a pound."
"What? No way. We bought them for 1.2 yuan each, and it took us ages to sort them out. 50 cents a pound, why don't you just go and rob them?"
"If you can, sell it for 1.2 yuan. I heard the scrap yard only takes 30 cents a pound."
Zhou Kai stopped talking. He didn't expect Fang Zhiwen to know these details.
Liu Xin looked at Xu Shanshan pleadingly, hoping she could help. Xu Shanshan said, "Sister-in-law, we won't be involved in men's affairs."
If Zhou Kai hadn't written to the countryside, his parents wouldn't have come all the way to the city. Fang Zhiwen was so angry that he couldn't possibly let Zhou Kai off so easily.
Xu Shanshan wasn't a kind person. If Sister Liu Xin was in trouble, she would definitely help. But asking her to speak up and help Zhou Kai was absolutely impossible.
Liu Xin hadn't expected Xu Shanshan to reject her so bluntly. Xu Shanshan had always been known to be tolerant and kind, so suddenly, she was stunned and at a loss for words.
Xu Shanshan continued, "Sister-in-law, if my Zhiwen had been a little more ruthless, Zhou Kai would have been fired by now. Honestly, he's full of flaws, yet he's still so aggressive? Do you really think my Zhiwen has no temper and is easy to bully?"
Liu Xin fell silent. She smiled wryly and shook her head, secretly thinking she had misjudged someone. But then she thought, Xu Shanshan had Fang Zhiwen's support, so it was normal for her temper to become tougher.
With his wife's support, Fang Zhiwen became more and more arrogant, and finally bought Zhou Kai's goods at the price of 45 cents per pound.
Zhou Kai had no choice but to swallow his anger and agree.
After Zhou Kai and his wife left angrily, Xu Shanshan couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you going to do?"
"Air cooler."
Fang Zhiwen wanted to install an air conditioner right away, but he couldn't get the necessary materials. Furthermore, the current household power supply wasn't strong enough, so the AC would definitely trip if installed. The summer heat was so intense that he had no choice but to convert the fan into an air cooler.
"Zhou Kai is quite capable. I've seen his batch of materials in advance, and they're of better quality than what I bought. With his batch, I won't have to worry about materials for six months."
Xu Shanshan chuckled and said, "You've wanted to take over his goods for a long time, but you're deliberately trying to irritate me."
Fang Zhiwen, however, held Xu Shanshan in his arms and continued talking. The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and he laughed so hard that he was shaking.
Did you pick up some money?"
"Dad, Mom, this is better than picking up money. You two are going to be grandparents."
When Peng Shuya heard this, she immediately pushed her son aside and said, "Shanshan, send a letter to your parents." Then, she thought again and again and said, "Shanshan, the day after tomorrow, why don't you find a sister to come to the city to take care of you?
Xu Shanshan wanted to say that she could do it on her own, after all, her mother was still working in the fields when she was pregnant with her sister. But thinking that she could use this opportunity to bring her sister to the city, she felt a little tempted.
"Mom, we have our own money."
Xu Shanshan is really rich. The couple has almost five-digit savings in their accounts.
Peng Shuya knew that her son was capable of earning money, so she did not argue with him. She thought that when the Xu sisters came later, she would use her own money to buy her some clothes and the like, which would also be a face-saving measure for her daughter-in-law.
......
Chaoyang Brigade
Xu Shanshan's letter arrived in the village soon, asking Ruyi to come to the city to help. After all, Ruyi was about to reach marriageable age, and she was really worried that her parents would randomly marry her off.
Xu Ruyi was naturally happy to agree, but Xu Erya said, "Ruyi, I've thought about it and think it's better for me to go to Lin City. After all, you've never given birth before, so how would you know how to take care of a pregnant woman?"
Xu Ruyi thought it made sense, but would her brother-in-law be happy about it? And what about Congcong?
Xu Erya couldn't bear to leave her son, but she wanted to go to Linshi more.
"You also know the situation of your brother-in-law's family. Congcong is the only grandson of the Qian family. The whole family loves him terribly. It's not a big deal if I go away for a while."
Xu Ruyi scratched his head and said, "Okay, if my brother-in-law agrees, my second sister can go if she wants."
Xu Meili had been listening in silence until she suddenly said, "But Second Sister, Third Sister specifically asked Fourth Sister to go. And Second Sister, didn't you say you'd plant fruits for Expert Qiao with Eldest Sister after the New Year?"
Then Xu Meili continued, "Fourth sister, don't forget what the aunts said during the New Year. They wanted you to get married this year. Do you want to get married?"
Xu Ruyi quickly shook her head, but Xu Erya glanced at her youngest sister and still gritted her teeth and insisted on her own idea.
"How about this, let's write a letter to our third sister and see what she says." Xu Meili suggested.
Soon Xu Shanshan's reply arrived, still insisting that Xu Ruyi go to Linshi. Xu Erya had no choice but to give up the idea.
But before leaving, Xu Ruyi was worried again and said, "Little sister, why don't you let your second sister go? I'm worried about leaving you alone at home."
"Oh, Fourth Sister, you're still worried about me? Think more about yourself." Xu Meili said, and suddenly tilted her head to look at Fourth Sister, and suddenly said: "Fourth Sister, you are not bad looking. Try to find me a fourth brother-in-law in the city."
Xu Erya was stunned. She didn't expect her younger sister to come up with this idea.
All of a sudden, all the knots in her heart dissipated. Indeed, it was most appropriate for the fourth sister to go to Lin City. With the methods of the third sister Xu Shanshan, it wouldn't be difficult to find a partner for the fourth sister in the city.
However, after this incident, Xu Erya looked at her younger sister with a new respect. This child kept silent, but unexpectedly knew everything.
Xu Meili, who knew what was going on, bared her teeth at her second sister with a look of pure innocence.
Xu Erya patted her head and said, "You are such a cunning girl. Okay, Second Sister was wrong before, don't take it to heart."
"Second sister, it's not wrong to fight for yourself. But Fourth sister, going to Lin City is the best solution for our family, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes, it's Second Sister who's being too picky. I'm afraid you'll be even more powerful than Third Sister in the future."
Xu Erya felt really relieved and happy to have such a sister at home.
Xu Daya didn't know about their previous lawsuit. As the most caring daughter, she was helping her mother with work at the time and persuading her mother to ease up on her relationship with her third sister.
This time, Zhao Xiaohe listened to the advice and killed the old hen that laid eggs at home.
"Ah, when your fourth sister left, Mom felt so empty inside." Although the fourth daughter had a bad temper, she was really considerate. Whenever she and Xu Laoer quarreled, Ruyi would rush to the front.
Now that my daughter is gone, there will be no one to protect me.
"If you miss your daughter, just write to Ruyi. Besides, we still have Meili at home."
Zhao Xiaohe didn't know what to say. Although Meili was young, she couldn't see through her.
This child is somewhat similar to the third daughter, but his thoughts are deeper than hers.
Zhao Xiaohe's guess was correct. Ever since her fourth daughter Xu Ruyi went to Lin City, no one would stand in front of her to protect her when she fought with Xu Laoer.
Whenever the couple showed signs of quarreling, Xu Meili would sneak out to play.
She never asked about her mother's well-being.
This child is even colder and harder than Xu Shanshan.
What Zhao Xiaohe didn't know was that Xu Meili cried several times quietly when she saw her being beaten black and blue. Although she didn't come forward to help, she asked her friends to coax her parents to come to her house to play.
No matter how much the villagers laugh at someone in their hearts, they will try to mediate and mediate in front of others.
Xu Meili thought to herself: Mom, since you can give birth to daughters like my second sister, third sister and me, you shouldn't live like this.
Mom, please, be nicer to yourself.
Be nice to us too, okay?
Mom, please, let your daughter dare to love you boldly and without worry, okay?
mom!
