When Dai Xueyi came out, Zhou Yun was folding clothes inside. He told him about Sun Xiulan knocking on the door.
"I've been reckless before, and this isn't the first time I've made this kind of mistake. Someone was taking a shower inside, and I was even able to open the door to do laundry. Luckily, I didn't see anything. If something had really happened, I wouldn't be able to explain myself."
Zhou Yun smiled dismissively, thinking that Dai Xueyi was making a mountain out of a molehill.
"You've known for a lot of surprises about her. Okay, I'll talk to her later and tell her to be more careful when doing laundry in the future so she doesn't make the same mistake again."
Dai Xueyi found it amusing. "You really aren't worried about me at all. If it were a young woman who opened my door while I was taking a shower, would you still be so calm?"
Zhou Yun thought he was being unreasonable. At his age, she was still acting like she used to when she was young, getting jealous and making a fuss over Dai Xueyi talking to a female colleague.
Dai Xueyi is almost fifty years old. Even if he takes good care of himself, he still has the dignity of a superior. His serious appearance makes it difficult for people to feel threatened.
Besides, who is Sun Xiulan? It's not that Zhou Yun looks down on her, but Sun Xiulan is similar to Dai Xueyi. Even though she has pretty features and a well-maintained figure, she is still a rural woman with little knowledge.
A woman nearing fifty years old opened Dai Xueyi's door, intending to seduce him.
Even if Sun Xiulan had no idea what was going on, surely there were mirrors in the room?
Sun Xiulan wanted to seduce Dai Xueyi. Was this because Zhou Yun looked down on Dai Xueyi?
Even if Dai Xueyi were to make a mistake, he shouldn't do it with this older sister. Zhou Yun found it all quite amusing and didn't even consider that possibility.
As she went downstairs, she put on her clothes and said, "Sister Sun, from now on, when Lao Dai takes a shower, please don't run upstairs anymore, so as not to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings."
Sun Xiulan trembled slightly, her tone somewhat pitiful, "Did my behavior cause Mr. Dai and you to misunderstand?"
"What could I possibly misunderstand?"
Zhou Yun found it amusing, thinking to herself that Sun Xiulan was overestimating herself. What could she possibly misunderstand? Could a nanny who was almost fifty years old have anything going on with Dai Xueyi? It couldn't be that serious, really.
"Alright, just keep what I said in mind. From now on, don't go upstairs to take a shower. Wait until he's finished before you go get your clothes to wash."
Zhou Yun had a meeting in the afternoon, so she picked up her purse and left in a hurry.
Sun Xiulan's face didn't look too good. She wasn't young anymore, but she was pretty and had a certain charm. Her figure was also excellent; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to hook up with several men at the card table.
Zhou Yun's nonchalant attitude was an insult to her.
On the 20th day of the first lunar month, Shu Aiguo's house was completed.
On the day the roof beam is raised, according to the custom of Shanguan Village, the host will stand on the roof and throw loose change and candy for the villagers to pick up, which is considered a good omen.
Although Shu Aiguo built a tiled house, it was still quite impressive, furnished with a complete set of Xibao furniture. Even with the walls painted white, the furniture still made the house look very grand.
The people of Shanguan Village were envious. The Shu family went to Deyang, did some small business, built a tiled house, and bought such nice furniture.
"Chu Yu, do you think Aunt Tong could do some small business?" Aunt Tong asked.
Chu Yu came back to attend the wedding banquet. Aunt Tong felt that this girl was extraordinary. What kind of life did Shu Aiguo live before? After this girl came, she sold night-shining sand and messed around with quail eggs, and even made the whole family go to Deyang.
When Deng Fangping returned to pack her things, the people of Shanguan Village said she was impatient; she set up a small stall selling pancakes and dared to transfer her child to Deyang for school.
Everyone was waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
Instead of seeing the Shu family suffer misfortune, they watched as others built houses, made big money, and lived prosperous lives.
Aunt Tong is a hardworking person, as can be seen from her selling night-shining sand.
She didn't have Chu Yu's brains, but she was quick-witted enough. When the nearby Night-Shining Sand ran out, she would walk a few more steps to the bat cave further away, to the bat cave in the next village.
You may walk a few more steps, but you'll earn more money. Earning an extra dollar or two each day compared to others adds up to a considerable sum over a year.
Aunt Tong's family lives better than others, all thanks to her intelligence.
Aunt Tong is in her early fifties. Her son and daughter-in-law both tell her not to bother. How can someone over fifty years old try to run a self-employed business? How can she make such a fool of herself? Self-employment can be profitable, but it's not something an old lady like her can do.
Despite her son and daughter-in-law's cold water being poured over her head, Aunt Tong's desire to make money remained undiminished.
Chu Yu didn't come back often, so Aunt Tong seized the opportunity to ask her for advice. In Aunt Tong's opinion, Deng Fangping, Shu Hui, and the others might be keeping their money-making secrets from her, but Chu Yu, this simple and honest young man, would definitely be happy to share.
Chu Yu doesn't believe that people in their fifties can't make money, or that young people can't endure hardship. He thinks that people of that age are more likely to be able to focus on their work.
"Auntie, what kind of small business are you looking to start?"
"I'm also clueless. What do you think is a good job for you, Auntie?"
Chu Yu smiled. At this age, it's not suitable to run a big business. It's better to stay at home and make some snacks. Chinese people love to eat, and as long as the taste is good, you can make money no matter what you do.
"Grandma, how's your cooking? At your age, I suggest you make something to eat. You're good at cooking, you could sell boxed lunches, one meal with three or four side dishes, and you could sell them for a few cents each."
Aunt Tong was a little embarrassed. "My cooking skills are just average. It's not that I don't want to cook well, but I prefer strong flavors. My daughter-in-law always complains that my cooking is too salty, and I'm afraid that customers won't like it."
Chu Yu nodded, "If stir-frying doesn't work, you can try making noodles, dumplings, steamed buns, or bread."
Aunt Tong was even more embarrassed; for some reason, her hands always tasted sour when she made noodles.
