Chapter 95
Although Qin Xiang didn't object to Qin Juan finding another man, she wasn't optimistic about it at
the moment. A woman who had just gone through a divorce would be very resistant to marriage, and her sister regarded Nian Nian as her life, so she wouldn't easily accept another relationship. Her biological father and grandmother were not good to Nian Nian, so how could a stepfather be good?
However, things couldn't be absolute, so Qin Xiang handed Nian Nian to Qin Baotian and asked them to go up first, and she stayed to ask Aunt Liu about the situation of the man just now.
Without the child, Aunt Liu was less cautious. She whispered, "The man's surname is Cheng, Cheng Jianjun, he is the director of the sales department of our beer factory, and the brother-in-law of the factory director. He is a nice person, down-to-earth and hardworking. He married a wife before, but she had a difficult birth, and both the child and the wife were gone. Seriously speaking, he is actually not bad with your sister, but his sister is not easy to get along with. After all, she is the wife of the factory director. She has high standards and is not a reasonable person. She introduced several girls to Cheng Jianjun before, but in the end, they all failed. There are some things I can't tell your sister. You are her sister, so I have to remind her anyway. If you are interested, You should have contact if you need to, but you have to think carefully, otherwise you should not get too close to avoid trouble for his sister. "
Hearing Aunt Liu say this, Qin Xiang could not help but frown.
The reason why her sister divorced Zhao Qianjin was because Zhao Qianjin was abusive and Gao Yulan interfered too much and abused her sister.
You can't jump out of one pit and jump into another.
With such a sister who wants to be a mother to her brother, this man can't do it no matter how good he is.
Qin Xiang said gratefully, "Auntie, thank you for your reminder."
"It's nothing. I just saw that it's not easy for your sister to take care of the children alone, so I'll help if I can. The last time you came to teach my grandson, he has learned something now. He said your method is good. I don't know how to thank you." Auntie Liu looked up and reminded, "Go up quickly. The family is finally reunited."
Qin Xiang thanked him and went upstairs. She happened to meet Cheng Jianjun coming down, but he was still holding the bag of things in his hand. It was obvious that he hadn't given them away, and his face was full of disappointment.
Seeing someone coming, Cheng Jianjun politely stood aside and waited for Qin Xiang to go over first before going downstairs.
Qin Xiang stared at the other person until he could no longer see him, then turned and went to Qin Juan's house.
The kitchen here is a public kitchen, and the toilet is also a public toilet. But because the house of the previous Director Qin was a little bigger and was on the easternmost side, a table was built at the end of the corridor against the east wall as a small kitchen for cooking, and a wooden door was even installed, which could be locked when not in use. There is a gas stove on the table, and a cabinet underneath to store things. As for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, they are placed on a small shelf made of wooden boards on the wall next to it, and the smoke is directly blown out through the end.
This environment is indeed much better than other people's houses. The only drawback is that the place is too small, so only one person can stand there. And if you want to wash vegetables or something, you still have to go to the faucet on the public kitchen side.
When Qin Xiang went over, Qin Juan was cooking. Qin Baotian and the others had already gone into the house. Seeing her coming, Qin Juan smiled and said, "You go in too. The place is too small. I'll be done soon." Qin
Xiang stood there without moving. After Qin Juan finished cooking, she took the food and went in with her. Qin Xiang asked, "What about the crabs?"
"I cooked them, but I steamed half of them. My third brother told me to make spicy crabs for you for the other half. He said you would definitely like it."
Qin Xiang really liked it, so she cleaned a crab, chopped it in half, stir-fried it with scallions, ginger and garlic, then added red peppers and bean paste to make red oil, then threw the crabs in to stir-fry. After a while, she poured some boiling water to simmer them. Qin Xiang then had time to talk to her sister.
Qin Juan instructed, "You are going to college soon. We will not be around then. You must protect yourself. If you have any problems, remember to find the police."
Qin Xiang laughed after hearing her sister's instructions, "I know. If you have any problems, find the police uncle. Sister, how can you tell the child?"
Qin Juan also laughed. She was also stupid. Qin Xiang was much more powerful than her. She dared to go to Guangzhou, not to mention the capital. Besides, Tsinghua University is the highest institution of learning in the country. Who dares to cause trouble in the school?
The two of them brought crabs into the house, and the whole house was filled with fragrance.
Living in the courtyard of the brewery, although not a worker of the brewery, of course beer is indispensable. Knowing that Qin Juan was entertaining her family today, Aunt Liu asked her eldest grandson to send some beer early.
Qin Juan poured everyone a glass, including Qin Mian. Nian Nian pursed her lips and felt a little disappointed.
Qin Xiang comforted her, "This is wine, children can't drink it, Nian Nian can only taste it when she grows as tall as your aunt Qin Mian."
"Really?" Qin Mian was happy again, "Then I won't drink it, otherwise what if I don't grow taller?"
Everyone at the table laughed immediately.
Qin Juan also cooked a lot for her family. She opened a shop to sell brined meat, so she naturally cut a plate of brined meat, and there were also two plates of crabs, chickens and fish, which was particularly rich.
Qin Baotian looked at the money and felt a little sorry for it. "You can't spend it like this after you have a meal with your family. Although you have a share of money, you still have to raise children, so save more money yourself."
Qin Juan knew that her father cared about her, so she agreed, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely save money well."
Qin Xiang also smiled and said, "My sister is very powerful now. She has paid back the few hundred yuan she lent me."
No matter what year it is, food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most profitable. Because everyone can't live without food and clothing. When living conditions are bad, everyone has no choice but to buy food and clothing with tickets. In recent months, many things in the provincial capital no longer require tickets, and people have begun to pay attention to food and clothing.
Moreover, Qin Juan's storefront is a student business. Many students don't like the food in school and want to go out to improve their appetite. Qin Juan's store is very good. Moreover, she not only sells salted meat these days, but also sets up a few tables in the store, slices salted meat and mixes it with cucumber and carrot shreds, and wholesales some steamed buns, which are also selling well. At least they taste good and are clean. Many students like to eat there.
Therefore, although Qin Xiang didn't ask during this period, she knew that her sister made money.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have the spare money to hire someone to help.
Qin Baotian was very happy to see his three children. "I am very happy that you are all successful. Your second brother is also going to open a small shop. Life will be better in the future. I am relieved."
Qin Juan looked at Qin Baotian and said softly, "Dad, I made you worry before."
"It's better than anything else if you are all well." Qin Baotian drank the beer in the glass.
Qin Xiang looked at Qin Baotian's gray hair and thought of what he said in the video. He felt uncomfortable as if a stone was blocked in his chest. "Dad, why don't you come to the provincial capital and help my third brother or my fourth sister."
"I won't come. I'm doing fine in my hometown." Qin Baotian was cheerful, but he had his own plans in mind. It would be good for him to stay with his children, but he and Lian Fengying were not divorced after all. If he came to the provincial capital, Lian Fengying might also follow him under the instigation of Tanaka Mei. His children all had a great grudge against Lian Fengying, so why should he make them unhappy because of him? It was good this way. He was in the countryside, Lian Fengying had no excuse to come over. Even if he didn't like her anymore, it was fine if he couldn't see her anymore. He smiled and said, "It's good for me to bring a group of young people to build houses for people. Maybe we can come to the city to build houses for people in the future. You also know the foreman who built the house before. I'll go to him for a drink tomorrow and learn from him."
Qin Xiang listened to him talking about his plan and thought it was good. In the next 20 years, the real estate industry will develop rapidly. There will be large-scale construction in the city, and the living conditions in the countryside will also change. It's true that being a contractor is profitable.
The only thing to worry about is that Lian Fengying and Tanaka Mei are in their hometown. There may be trouble, or they may try to get money from her father.
Qin Yang had obviously thought of this, "You are not young anymore. When you earn money in the future, just save it for yourself. Don't keep it at home. Put it in the bank."
Qin Baotian laughed, "You're not sure if you keep it at home, but you have to put it in the bank. Will it be safe? What if they don't give it to me?"
Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. Qin Juan hurriedly explained, "Dad, the bank is owned by the country. When you deposit your money, they will give you a passbook. You just need to take the passbook and password to withdraw money. You are not at home all day. What if the money is taken away at home?"
She didn't say that it was taken away by a mouse, but Qin Baotian understood what they meant.
Although he had kicked Lian Fengying out, she was now living in Qin Jun's house for retirement. Even if he had changed the lock on the front door, the two houses were separated by a wall, so it would be much easier to climb over the wall and it would not be easy for outsiders to find out.
Lian Fengying was his wife after all, so Qin Baotian didn't think it was a big deal to give her some living expenses. But Lian Fengying's temper was such that she would probably be coaxed into giving Tanaka Mei nine out of ten cents.
He worked hard to make money outside, not to support the couple.
Qin Baotian looked serious, "I understand. I will deposit the money in the bank from now on."
Qin Xiang reminded, "Please check it carefully when you go back this time. If something goes wrong, you must report it to the police."
Qin Baotian was surprised, "No way?" Then he shook his head, "There was no one at home before, so everything should be fine. This time I brought all the money out. Even if they dare to search, they won't be able to find it. Besides, I don't think they dare to do it for the time being."
Seeing that he was still feeling lucky, Qin Xiang didn't say anything.
Anyway, she didn't think it was strange that Qin Jun and Tanaka Mei could do anything.
She would never ease her relationship with them in her life.
After the meal, it was completely dark outside.
Nian Nian took Qin Mian out to play again, and Qin Xiang and the others sat there talking together. All the windows in the house were open. Perhaps because it was the end of August, it didn't feel that hot.
Qin Baotian checked the two rooms inside and out. Seeing that the latches and door locks were all in good condition and sturdy and had been replaced with new ones, he was relieved.
"Live a good life. When Nian Nian grows up, you will be able to get through it." Qin Baotian didn't dare to mention asking Qin Juan to find another one. Qin Baotian had suffered a lot in his children's marriages, so he didn't dare to arrange it casually.
But Qin Xiang thought of Cheng Jianjun and decided to talk to her fourth sister before leaving.
It was getting late, so Qin Xiang and the others went back first. Qin Mian and Qin Zhen were originally going to live in the university town, but they were worried about it getting late, and they couldn't bear to leave Qin Mian, so the two sisters temporarily lived at Qin Juan's place.
When they came out of Qin Juan's house, Qin Baotian asked Qin Xiang, "Is that young man in the afternoon interested in your sister?"
"How could he be so attentive? He knew you came with us and specially brought such a gift? Typical bad intentions." Qin Yang had seen this a long time ago. If Qin Juan hadn't politely refused, Qin Yang would have planned to discuss this matter with Qin Juan. Maybe this is what being a brother is like. Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the well rope for ten years. Whenever a man approaches his sister, Qin Yang always feels that the other party is not a good person with bad intentions.
Qin Baotian frowned, thinking about the other person's words and behavior, "Although the other person looks a little older, he looks good."
Qin Xiang said hurriedly, "I talked about this person when I was chatting with Aunt Liu downstairs. He is the director of the sales department of the beer factory. He has a good character, but he has a sister who likes to be his mother, and it's hard to get along with him."
"That won't work. I'll go back and talk to Qin Juan." Qin Yang is an impatient person, and he can't wait to go and talk to Qin Juan.
No matter how good a man is, if he has a bad family and difficult parents, this marriage cannot be easily agreed. The Zhao Qianjin incident is an example. It's hard to jump out of the pit, but you can't fall into it again.
"Why are you so anxious?" Qin Xiang quickly grabbed Qin Yang, "Third brother, what are you going to say now? If Fourth Sister really has that in mind, how can Cheng Jianjun take the things he brought back? Weren't you upstairs just now? Did Fourth Sister treat Cheng Jianjun differently?"
Qin Yang thought about it carefully and shook his head, "It seems not. Your Fourth Sister said that everything at home is ready and there is nothing missing for him to take back."
"That's it." Qin Xiang analyzed, "Fourth sister's divorce has not even been a month old. After all, she was tortured in the Zhao family for several years. Wasn't Zhao Qianjin good to her at that time? Fourth sister used to be soft-tempered, but now she will be careful for Nian Nian. The more so, the less likely she will easily hand over her mother and daughter to other men. And Aunt Liu also said that Cheng Jianjun's sister is not a good person, and she probably won't look down on Fourth sister for taking care of a child. I'll go find Fourth sister tomorrow and talk to her about this so that she can be mentally prepared. I guess she will stay away from Cheng Jianjun herself."
Her plan was approved by Qin Baotian, and Qin Yang couldn't say no.
"Then you must warn her well, never be fooled by a man's sweet words. No matter how good a man is, if he listens to his family in everything, he's doomed." Qin Yang felt upset just thinking about it. The two sisters were not human beings, and now they were met with bad peach blossoms one after another. He could not guard against this one but that one.
Qin Xiang went back home and thought about it carefully at night. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that Cheng Jianjun was not suitable for her fourth sister. In order to
avoid more trouble, Qin Xiang went to the university town early the next morning, but Qin Juan's halogen shop was not open yet, although it should have been open at this time.
She hurried to the courtyard of the beer factory, and as soon as she entered, she heard noisy sounds and the voices of some old ladies persuading her.
Qin Xiang's heart skipped a beat, and she hurried upstairs.
