When he came back, he told Xu about it in a big fuss.
Mrs. Xu was surprised and angry: "What? You gave the shop to that girl from the Wen family?"
"That's right! Two big shops are being taken care of together. One is a clothing store, one is a restaurant, and the other is half a pastry shop..."
"How is this possible? Where is the original tenant?"
"It is said that the original tenant made a lot of money! He bought his own shop on another street and moved away. Here, they started to clean up after the New Year. In a few days, they will open for business!"
Xu's mind raced: Could it be that her mother-in-law behaved like this because Qi Xiao came back and had an argument with her?
Or did he go to Cui's house and cause trouble? "You said... the business is about to open?"
"yes!"
That's not the reason. It should have been arranged long ago. Otherwise, that girl just came to Beijing before the New Year and doesn't know the difference between north, south, east and west! How could she have packed it up so quickly?
That was when the mother-in-law arranged the marriage for them, she also decided on this matter.
Yes! So, Wen Yu has people who make dolls and people who make snacks... Oh my God! That's it.
But... even if there is a shop, it will cost a lot to tidy it up! Moreover, I don't know how long it will take to prepare materials and manpower! Wen Yu is just a little girl, how can she do it? No matter what, mother-in-law can't give her both the shop and the money! This can only be done by mother-in-law with the help of Cui's family. It is likely that mother-in-law is using Wen Yu's name to deliberately suppress her husband! No way!
"I'm going to ask..." She stood up excitedly, then her eyes went dark and she fainted.
The girls in the house were in a panic and asked the doctor to come. After a check, it turned out that she was pregnant...
The maid hurried to the back to report to Tan...
When Tan heard this, she clapped her hands and laughed, "Great! My Xiao'er is going to have a son!"
Of course, no one went to report the news to Madam Qi's courtyard.
But Xu's maid was making a lot of noise, not knowing whether she did it on purpose or was really surprised. It was hard for Madam Qi not to know!
It would be a lie to say that she was unhappy, but Mrs. Qi carefully felt her own mood and found that it was indeed different from before.
I still remember when Xu was pregnant with Bao'er, all the maids in the garden heard about it, and then spread the news to me...
Even worse than this time! Although he was unhappy, he still went to see Mrs. Xu. Knowing that she loved money, he gave her a set of expensive jewelry.
As a result, although Xu was obviously very happy, she still only said lightly: Thank you, mother.
He didn't even handle it himself, but let the maid next to him take it.
Madam Cui beside Madam Qi was so angry! Speaking of this Xu, she was really the kind of person she hated the most when she was in the boudoir! Madam Qi sneered: Now, don't try to use Qi Xiao and his descendants to control me. If you don't tell me, I won't go.
But she didn't go, so Tan went! She brought a lot of people with her, and even opened a private warehouse to take two boxes of blood swallows that the Marquis had given her last time.
Before entering the house, Tan said with a smile as she walked in, "Where's Minghui? Let me see her. Is she lying on the bed?!"
Mrs. Xu was lying on the bed, leaning against the pillow, with tears on her face and slightly swollen eyelids.
"Oh, are you feeling unwell?!" Tan asked softly while sitting beside the bed.
At this moment, Xu Minghui hoped that Mrs. Qi would come the most, so that she could take advantage of the situation to ask questions clearly! In the end, her mother-in-law didn't come...but her great-grandmother came.
Xu seemed to have found her backbone. She shouted, "Grandma..." and then started to cry.
Tan was shocked: "Stop crying! What happened?! What time is it? Don't be so excited!"
"Grandma..." Xu told Tan everything she had found out.
Before, Tan didn’t really care about this matter. What she wanted was the Qi family.
Although Madam Qi is wealthy, she is strong and has the Cui family behind her!
It's not easy to get the power and wealth of the Qi family! So, at this moment, she is not concerned about the shop, but the girl from the Wen family.
How can such a little girl be so awesome!
Before I even entered the house, my mother-in-law had already handed over my wealth and power?
This is a strange thing. Even if we give the prosperous shop to that girl, can she run it? She needs to invest money, have people and skills, and have connections everywhere...
This matter, most likely was done by Cui Fengying herself! And then, she used the name of the Wen family girl to... um... target Qi Youyi and attack Qi Xiao?! Yeah, it's very likely!
"Alas! This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies. Sometimes, they just compete with each other without caring about the purpose." After Tan said this, she felt that she was speechless and hurriedly tried to make up for it: "But, I haven't heard of such a big thing! You should be patient and find out the truth before you act!"
Mrs. Xu's tears continued to flow, she really cared! Mrs. Tan sighed, "No matter what, it's not as important as your health! Your grandfather will be back soon. What your grandmother can't do, your grandfather will definitely be able to do! As for your grandfather, I know him best, nothing is more important than his children and grandchildren! You should take good care of your pregnancy and give birth to a son. He will definitely make the decision for you!"
In fact, this is Mrs. Qi's private property. What can old man Qi do when he comes back? But Xu listened to it: "Fortunately, there is grandmother, otherwise, the granddaughter-in-law really can't survive!"
"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about?!"
Tan gently persuaded Xu to look forward to the future. It took a lot of effort for her to stop crying.
Qi Xiao came back in a hurry, and when Xu saw him, she started crying again.
Tan was angry and scolded, "So what I just said was in vain!? You seem to be very straightforward on weekdays, why are you so ignorant after getting pregnant? Now, even if you encounter a big problem, it is not as important as your belly! If you continue like this, I will be really angry with you."
Xu quickly wiped away her tears. "Grandma, your granddaughter-in-law is wrong..."
Qi Xiao quickly asked: "Grandma, what did the doctor say?"
Tan said: "My husband said she was too excited and almost had a miscarriage! Let her relax and take good care of herself! Really... why are things happening at the same time!"
Qi Xiao's concerned expression made Xu feel better...
Tan called Qi Xiao: "Come out with me first!"
When the two of them got outside, Tan asked, "Do you know about that?"
"I just heard it on the road." Qi Xiao said with his head down.
"Ah... I've been suppressing my anger for a long time since I heard that. Mrs. Xu is pregnant, so she's easily excited. Now she's fine! Just now, it was really scary..."
"Fortunately, grandma is here!" Qi Xiao said with lingering fear.
The person who called him said something very serious. Now his grandmother also said so... Qi Xiao had no doubt.
"What's that? All my grandmother can give me is just a few words."
"Xiao'er is very satisfied."
"Okay! No matter what, the shop is your mother's property. No one has the right to interfere with who she wants to give it to. So, you should keep a calm mind. She loves Xiaowu, and she loves the girl from the Wen family as well."
Qi Xiao felt like his chest was about to explode.
"Those are just external things. There's no need to worry about them. Back then, I entered the Qi family penniless. When I die... there won't be much left for you."
"Grandma!" Qi Xiao was shocked! "Listen to me! If I don't have anything, I won't love you? You won't respect me? Forget it! No matter how upset you are, you have to coax Minghui, understand? This is not a joke!"
"Grandma...I understand." Qi Xiao agreed reluctantly.
"Oh, it's true! There is nothing to worry about in the world, but mediocre people worry about it! Just take good care of her!"
Tan is gone.
Qi Xiao returned to the room and sat next to Xu. "Are you feeling unwell?"
"I've been looking forward to this day for so long!" Xu Minghui stroked her belly gently, "But I didn't expect to find out under such circumstances."
Qi Xiao said: "Don't think too much about it for now."
Although Qi Xiao was somewhat surprised by this matter, he had long known that his mother loved his fifth brother.
Moreover, he admired Miss Wen very much. Before they got married, he took her to Cui's house during the New Year...
Mrs. Xu said: "Mother doesn't like me, and I am a burden to you. She is also unfamiliar with you, so no matter how I treat her, I will look down on her! This knot cannot be untied. But, you are her eldest son..." Her tears flowed again.
"Minghui, don't think about it for now..." Qi Xiao looked at the door, "I'll find a chance to talk to mother."
This attitude made Xu very dissatisfied! She was so excited that she almost had a miscarriage, but he was so nonchalant about it? "Husband, you..."
Qi Xiao said: "Grandma is right. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself."
Xu turned over and said nothing more.
