The Lan family’s shops are almost all concentrated on the Bund, with three-story Western-style buildings.
There were still shelves that had not been cleared away in several rooms, and it seemed that they were still operating normally.
"What are you going to do with these shops?"
The old house and the villa are both inhabited, so it's fine if they're empty! It would be a waste if this shop were idle! Master Wu pondered for a moment and asked.
After the whole tour, Lan Guoer was not idle. She looked and gestured, and now she has measured the size of each shop.
"I'll take some time to draw a few designs, and I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Wu, with the rest!"
Lan Guoer blinked mischievously and said,
"Let's decorate it first. Once it's finished according to my requirements, it should be ready for use!"
There are still about ten months before the reform and opening up. Lan Guoer is thinking about decorating these shops in the style of future clothing, skin care products, daily necessities, electronics and accessories stores.
As soon as the bell of "reform and opening up" rings, her products will be available in the market without waiting! That is a golden opportunity to make money.
Seeing that she had a plan in mind, Master Wu stopped asking questions. He now had complete faith in his niece! As long as she said something was possible, there was nothing she couldn't do!
All he has to do is run errands for the little girl!
When she got home, Yu Lei had already prepared a table full of food.
Su Guokai was at home for a rare occasion. When he learned that they had successfully obtained the house, he asked Yu Lei to open a drink to celebrate.
Yu Lei couldn't persuade him, and just as she filled everyone's glasses with wine, she heard some noise coming from the yard.
Then came Su Gan's voice.
"Mom, come quickly and help me get Jiajia into the house."
"Hey brother, don't bother me. It's just two steps. I can walk by myself."
This was followed by Liu Jiajia's sickeningly sweet voice.
Obviously, no one at the table expected the two to come at this time. Thinking of the baby in Liu Jiajia's belly, Yu Lei frowned, put down her chopsticks, and went out to greet them.
"Didn't the doctor tell you to stay in bed? Don't get out of bed! It's only been a few days, why are you so unwilling to listen?"
When Yu Lei went out, she first gave Su Gan a fierce look, then stepped forward to support Liu Jiajia's arm, with a tone of blame that could not be concealed.
"Mom, I heard that my cousin Guo'er is here. You said that my cousin came all the way from Beijing. As her sister-in-law and brother-in-law, how can Su Gan and I not even show up?"
Liu Jiajia raised the corners of her lips, shook Yu Lei's arm, and acted like a spoiled child.
Yu Lei glanced at the arm she had shaken and couldn't help but shudder! She thought to herself, has her heart really gone astray?
When Xiao Guoer shook her arm, she felt sweet in her heart, and she felt inexplicably good.
But Liu Jiajia is obviously a daughter-in-law who is closer to her than a niece, so why does she feel so uncomfortable when she does the same action?
Just at this moment, she got goosebumps all over her body!
"Alright! Come on in! It's just in time for us to have dinner. You two really know how to pick your time."
It has been a year since Lan Guoer and Liu Jiajia last saw each other.
When we met this time, Liu Jiajia looked much worse than last year. Perhaps because of her pregnancy, a lot of dark spots appeared on her cheeks, making her look like she had aged ten years in an instant.
"Wow! This meal is really sumptuous! We are really benefiting from my cousin's kindness today! I've been lying in bed for so many days, and I haven't had such a rich meal!"
When Liu Jiajia entered the room, she first glanced at Lan Guoer and the others, and then her attention was attracted by the food on the table.
Although Yu Lei and Su Gan had treated her well during this period and had provided her with good food and drink every day, she had never enjoyed a meal of more than ten meat dishes!
So much so that there is inevitably a hint of sourness in the words!
"You're saying that! It's as if I, your mother-in-law, have been harsh on you!
The money of you two is in your own pockets, so who can restrict you from eating anything you want?"
As she said that, Yu Lei couldn't help but give Su Gan a cold look!
She really couldn't like her eldest daughter-in-law. As long as she opened her mouth, she would find fault with her!
Su Gan felt very embarrassed to be scolded by Yu Lei in front of a table of people!
He smiled awkwardly at everyone, pulled Liu Jiajia's arm and sat down at the table.
"Guo'er, is this your first time in Hai City? Is there any place you want to go? Big brother happens to have a couple of days off, so I'd like to take you out for a walk."
Lan Guoer smiled back at him and was about to say no, but the two siblings from the Hua family had already taken over the task.
I didn't want to, so Liu Jiajia interrupted me with words.
"How can you say you're on vacation? You're clearly asking for leave! That's over a dollar a day! With your lack of ambition, when can we finally move out of that small apartment building that our company has assigned us?"
Lan Guoer was confused!
Wasn't it just about accompanying her on a stroll through the sea city? How did it escalate to being unpromising and a personal attack?
Besides, Su Gan asked for leave not because of Lan Guoer, but to take care of you, Liu Jiajia, right?
Also, why did this suddenly move to the tube-shaped building?
Although this turn was a bit abrupt, Lan Guoer still had a bad feeling. Was Liu Jiajia planning to target her again?
Sure enough, Liu Jiajia felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and finally she even started to wipe away her tears.
"Seeing all my schoolmates move into apartment buildings, I'm so anxious! You said we two can just make do in that damp and moldy house!
But what if the baby is born? Will he live in that narrow and dark tube building like us?
Su Gan's cheeks tightened and he clenched his hands holding the chopsticks tightly, obviously touched by her words.
Yu Lei saw that she started crying as soon as she sat down, and her brows were tightly furrowed. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Liu Jiajia change the subject and asked Lan Guoer,
"Guo'er, you don't want your newborn nephew to live in that kind of environment, do you?"
Lan Guoer: “…” She’s coming, she’s coming, she’s coming with a conspiracy!
Sure enough, he came for her!
Lan Guoer sighed in her heart!
Why does Liu Jiajia always pick on her?
Not to mention whether it is a nephew or a niece in her belly, shouldn’t the decision of what kind of environment the baby will live in in the future be made by them as parents?
Ask her what it means to be a cousin?
If she doesn't want to, can you, Liu Jiajia and Su Gan, provide a better environment for the child?
