Chu Xiang felt a lump in her throat and hugged her sister tightly, moved. Her sister had never said such things to her before.
Yes, the four of them, mother and daughters, were kicked out of the Zhou family. What else could they do but keep each other company? Her older sister was good to her and wanted to support her, so she also wanted to be good to her older sister and help her with whatever she could so that her sister wouldn't be overworked.
Chu Yu patted her shoulder. Chu Xiang and Chu Chu had both treated her well, and Chu Xiang had helped her earn money quite a bit.
In a few years, land auctions will be allowed in China, and commercial housing will be built in major cities. When commercial housing is first launched, the price will not be expensive, and you can choose the most central location and school resources.
She wouldn't mind buying nice houses for her two younger sisters.
Only when a woman owns a house can she stand tall.
Zhou Jian'an doesn't want them, so they'll live for him. They'll support their mother's career, help their younger sister go to university, start her own business, and buy a house. They'll live better than Zhou Jian'an!
Chu Yu stuffed the money into her bag. The cost was fifteen yuan, but she sold it for nearly four hundred yuan!
She wasn't unaware that small businesses could make money, but she never imagined that defective buttons could be so profitable.
She originally planned to wait a few more months until she had saved up more money before going to Shanghai, Wenzhou, or Guangzhou to look for ways to do business.
Who would have thought that it wouldn't even take a few months?
At this rate, she should be able to save enough start-up capital before September to start a business!
Meanwhile, at the Zhou family's dinner table, Xu Yiyi, with red eyes, described to the Zhou family what had happened in front of the department store.
Dai Qinxue frowned. "Yiyi, Chu Yu isn't that kind of person. How could she possibly scold you in front of so many people?"
Xu Yiyi hurriedly said:
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Zhao Hanqiao. He can testify for me! She also said a lot of bad things about Uncle Zhou. In my heart, Uncle Zhou is the best man in the world. Hearing her say such things about Uncle Zhou really makes me very sad.”
As a selfish and self-serving man, to be fair, Zhou Jian'an wasn't great enough to treat Xu Yiyi like his own daughter.
When he first started dating Dai Qinxue, every time she mentioned her daughter, he felt a thorn in his heart, as if Xu Yiyi's existence was a constant reminder that Dai Qinxue had once been with another man.
It wasn't until he learned Dai Qinxue's identity that he realized he wanted to pursue a single mother, and naturally, he had to please her daughter. Xu Yiyi's existence was Zhou Jian'an's bargaining chip to win over Dai Qinxue.
Zhou Jian'an never spent a penny on Chu Yu and her two sisters, but he was extremely obedient to Xu Yiyi.
Xu Yiyi wanted the new pink plush doll from the department store, and Zhou Jian'an bought it for her as soon as he received his first month's internship salary.
Zhou Jian'an bought every single item that Xu Yiyi wanted: a polyester dress, leather shoes, and a sun hat.
Xu Yiyi wanted to buy a tape recorder, and Zhou Jian'an borrowed money from his colleagues to make it happen for her.
Xu Yiyi was well-behaved and sensible. Every time she received a gift, she would say nice things to make him happy. Over time, Zhou Jian'an also experienced the joy of spoiling his daughter and felt that none of his three daughters could compare to Xu Yiyi.
This time, Xu Yiyi and Dai Qinxue accompanied him back to his hometown. After returning to Beijing, the Dai family will inevitably ask how Xu Yiyi is doing here. Xu Yiyi is the only granddaughter in the Dai family. If they find out that Xu Yiyi has been wronged in his hometown, they will definitely be dissatisfied with him, and the promotion will probably have to be called off.
Zhou Jian'an, his face dark, slammed down his chopsticks.
"She's not even as good as Yiyi! I've wasted my life giving birth to this daughter!"
Dai Qinxue observed her expression and carefully changed the subject.
"Jian'an, Chu Yu setting up a stall outside is just a slap in the face for you! People who don't know the situation might think that our Zhou family is mistreating her, making a grown woman like her go out and be a self-employed individual!"
Jiang Meifeng was also quite angry when this matter was mentioned.
In her view, Shu Hui and Chu Yusheng were members of the Zhou family, and even if they died, they would still be considered part of the Zhou family. Even if they were driven out of the Zhou family, they should have hidden themselves away and avoided people.
Just a few days later, Chu Yu, restless and out in public, set up a street stall to sell buttons!
How much can you earn from a single button? You could barely make a few cents or a dollar a day if you didn't eat or drink. Does she really think business is easy and that selling buttons can make you rich? If it were that easy, there would be no poor people or beggars in the world!
"She just swindled a thousand yuan from the Zhou family. She has no worries about food or drink, and she even wants to become a self-employed individual. Isn't she just trying to make the people of Shanguan Village talk behind our Zhou family's back? I told you long ago that Shu Hui is useless. Just you wait and see. In less than two months, the money she took from the Zhou family will definitely be swindled away by her two brothers! All the money of our Zhou family will benefit those people surnamed Shu!"
Jiang Meifeng's resentment has not diminished; how could she not be resentful?
At the end of June, the heat was unbearable. Zhoujia Village is located in a low-lying area, and there is no wind at all in the summer.
Previously, all the farm work at home was done by Shu Hui and the three maids. After the divorce, all the work fell on her shoulders alone. Jiang Meifeng was so tired that she couldn't straighten her back, her face was sunburned and peeling, and she lost a lot of weight!
She blamed everything on Chu Yu. If Chu Yu hadn't been such a troublemaker, she could have coaxed Shu Hui back to work and earn money for her.
Even though Jian'an has a home in Beijing, you are his only wife in Rongtai County. You are his first wife. As long as you take good care of the children, you will surely enjoy a happy life someday.
Little did she know that Chu Yu's fierceness would completely shatter her hopes.
With things having come to this, Jiang Meifeng had no other hope but to comfort herself that the exhaustion was only temporary. Dai Qinxue had said that once things were settled, she would take her to Beijing and let her show off her status as an official's wife!
Dai Qinxue's promise was grand and perfect, but Jiang Meifeng had only ever seen glimpses of Beijing's streets and rooftops in the news and newspapers, never imagining that she could actually go to Beijing and live a good life.
