Chapter 91
Qin Xiang couldn't tell whether this matter was right or wrong. Two days ago, people from the town police station came to ask about what happened two years ago.
Although it was two years ago, for Qin Xiang it had already been more than twenty years. She could no longer remember the details of many of the issues.
She remembered clearly that the public security comrades at the time said that if there was insufficient evidence, the two people would probably be criticized and educated, and there would not be any major punishment.
After Wang Junsheng left, she thought the two had been released.
Qin Hai said, "I heard that when she came out of the police station, Tian Zhongmei was making a scene, and a family planning officer saw her belly and forced her to go for a checkup, and then she had an abortion."
Qin Xiang didn't know what to say after hearing this. Wasn't this something she had asked for herself?
The police station has released them, yet they still dare to make a fuss. Are they afraid that others won't notice?
Qin Hai said, "Let's not talk about her anymore. Your second sister-in-law has already resigned. We've rented the shop, but only for five years. We're already renovating it. Once it's finished, we'll have to stock the store and open it."
Qin Xiang was very happy for her second brother and his wife. In this life, they had taken this step earlier than in their previous life. "Second brother, you and your sister-in-law will definitely be able to do well. If you need money, please feel free to ask."
"I'm definitely not going to be polite with you." Qin Hai laughed. "By the way, Dad said he's having a banquet in the village in the next few days and asked if you could come back."
Qin Xiang thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid Tian Zhongmei and Mom will make a fuss again if I go back. I'll buy some things and ask my third brother to go back for me and tell him I'm busy."
Qin Hai seemed to have anticipated this outcome and was not surprised. "Okay, I'll go back with the Third Brother then."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiang couldn't help but sigh.
People sometimes bring disaster upon themselves. A child who was more than four months old was gone just like that.
Fortunately, she is now adhering to the principle of not getting married and not having children to ensure safety, which is indeed the right thing to do.
The weather in August is still unbearably hot.
The popularity of Qinxiang store is as lively as the weather.
Qin Xiang went back to take inventory and had no choice but to call Guan Zhibin again, asking him to help order a batch of sportswear from the Huayu Garment Factory and have it shipped together with Guan Zhibin's clothes.
Guan Zhibin silently calculated the accounts and realized that Qin Xiang probably earned more than him.
After calling Guan Zhibin, Qin Xiang called Liu Minhua and chatted for a while, then called the Hangzhou Textile Factory to order various socks, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
It is already mid-August. Once this batch of goods arrives and is arranged, she should go to the capital to prepare for the start of school.
Back at the store, Qin Xiang saw He Liping keeping accounts, so she went over to ask her, "Did they ask you to sign up for night school?"
"I've signed up and have been attending classes for several days." He Liping said with a smile, "Sister Xiangxiang, you're too busy and haven't noticed me."
Qin Xiang nodded and said embarrassedly, "I really didn't notice. Don't set up a stall at the night market. Just sell directly in the store. Study hard and improve your academic qualifications. You will be our store's accountant in the future."
He Liping nodded hurriedly, "I will definitely do my best."
Qin Xiang then said to the others, "After Liping finishes her studies, you can take turns to sign up. I'll cover all the expenses."
Upon hearing this, Tan Xiu and another clerk were very happy, only Miao Xiaofeng was a little unhappy.
When they returned home that night, Miao Xiaofeng said to Tan Xiu, "Are you convinced?"
Tan Xiu was puzzled. "Are you talking about He Liping?"
Miao Xiaofeng pursed her lips and said, "She arrived the latest, but she got to go in first and register first. Why?"
Hearing this, Tan Xiu couldn't help but laugh, "It depends on the person's intelligence and how fast he learns."
She looked at Miao Xiaofeng and said, "We were all there when the boss was teaching us about bookkeeping. It's us who can't learn as fast as He Liping. Now that she's signed up first, you're feeling upset. Who can you blame? Go back and blame your parents for not giving you a good brain?"
Being scolded by Tan Xiu, Miao Xiaofeng's eyes were filled with tears. "We just came into the store together, and you are so biased towards He Liping and look down on me?"
Tan Xiu rolled her eyes. "What's wrong with us going into the store together? Why am I siding with He Liping? What does it have to do with others if we don't do our best? Didn't the boss also say that we can continue to learn after she finishes her studies? Isn't it good for her to test the waters early or late? Why are you trying to stir things up here?"
Miao Xiaofeng remained silent for a long while before she said, "It would be great if Brother Yang were our boss."
"If Brother Yang was our boss, you wouldn't have had a chance to succeed." Tan Xiu said mercilessly, "Since you've mentioned this, I won't hide it from you anymore. I've seen your feelings for Brother Yang for a long time. Brother Yang is just letting you go for the sake of the boss. Do you really think he'd like you?"
Miao Xiaofeng hung her head in silence. Tan Xiu sighed and said earnestly, "Our boss is a capable man. Brother Yang will make a lot of money following him. How could he possibly be interested in people like us? Besides, we are not the same kind of people. I can see that if you continue to be like this, our boss will definitely not tolerate you. Although we are not workers, the boss pays us well. If we work hard, we are much better than workers. If you still commit suicide, then I can't help you."
After saying that, Tan Xiu left, and Miao Xiaofeng stood there wiping her tears.
Qin Xiang came out to make a phone call and saw Miao Xiaofeng standing under the street light wiping her tears. Qin Xiang understood a little, thought about it and went back.
Forget it, the girl also needs face, why embarrass her?
When they returned to the store, He Liping and Mi Hongjun were also preparing to go back to the dormitory to sleep. Qin Xiang asked Mi Hongjun, "Are you not going to night school?"
"No," Mi Hongjun said, "I'm doing fine now, why would I want to go to night school?"
Seeing his self-righteous look, Qin Xiang didn't want to say anything to him at all. "Go and sign up yourself tomorrow, otherwise don't come to my store anymore."
Mi Hongjun suddenly felt aggrieved, "Sister Xiangxiang, you look down on me for my low education."
Qin Xiang was speechless. "If you insist on going this way, then go ahead."
Mi Hongjun: “…”
He Liping, who was standing beside him, held back her laughter and pulled him aside. "Let's go! I told you a long time ago, but you just wouldn't listen. You deserve it."
After everyone left, Qin Xiang closed the door and prepared to go back to sleep. A Mercedes-Benz pulled up in front of the door. Qin Xiang stopped, expecting to see Meng Huaiqing coming out. Instead, she saw Miao Sheng coming down and anxiously said, "Miss Qin, this is urgent. I need your help."
Qin Xiang was stunned. "Why are you here so late? What help do you need?"
Miao Sheng approached and bowed directly. "Mr. Meng has a stomach ailment and can't eat anything now. I'd like to ask Miss Qin to help make some food that's easier for digestion."
Miao Sheng took out an envelope from her handbag and said, "This is a little gift from our husband."
Qin Xiang didn't answer. She looked at him and said, "Did your Mr. Meng ask you to come?"
Miao Sheng was stunned. "No, it was my own decision."
"Did you take this money on your own initiative?"
Miao Sheng said with a stiff upper lip, "Yes."
Qin Xiang said, "Take the money back."
She turned around and was about to go in, but Miao Sheng said anxiously, "Miss Qin, please help me."
Qin Xiang said without turning his head, "Wait."
If it was really Meng Huaiqing who asked Miao Sheng to bring the money today, then he should just bear with it himself.
Qin Xiang went upstairs and went straight into the kitchen. Qin Yang came out of the shower and frowned, "What are you doing so late at night?"
Qin Xiang then repeated Miao Sheng's words, "Third brother, this is also a good opportunity."
"What do you mean?" Qin Yang raised an eyebrow. He didn't think this was a good opportunity. Instead, he felt that this so-called Hong Kong City boss had good intentions towards his sister.
Qin Xiang didn't know Qin Yang's worries, and turned around and said seriously, "It's a chance to cling to someone powerful."
Qin Yang: “???”
"I really believe it." Qin Xiang laughed. "Don't forget, when we were in Guangzhou, we got a lot less sportswear because of him. If we can save that much on one batch of goods, how much money can we save in the long run? Besides, we can't just sit back and do nothing for the sake of Uncle Ge."
Qin Yang frowned, "Don't rich people like them all have nannies? You can bring your nanny with you."
"A nanny can't follow us around all the time." Qin Xiang skillfully stir-fried the chopped tomatoes to make a soup and then poured boiling water over them. Then he said, "Let's just help out a little, just as if we were helping our neighbors. Maybe they'll even let us buy the house later."
Seeing that Qin Yang seemed unconvinced, Qin Xiang said, "That's possible. Would a big boss care about this small building?"
Qin Yang stopped talking. The location of this small building was indeed good. Apart from anything else, they were getting a great deal just on the rent.
While the tomato and egg noodles were cooking, Qin Xiang also made yam and pumpkin porridge.
He took some pickled cucumbers from the jar, put them in the lunch box and took it out.
Qin Xiang handed the basket over and said, "Tell Mr. Meng that we are neighbors and it is only natural to help each other. There is no need to be so polite."
"Thank you." Miao Sheng was so touched that he bowed again before getting in the car and driving away.
Qin Xiang looked at the time and saw that it was already past eleven o'clock. She was really sleepy.
Sleep, sleep, your life is important.
It was three days later that I saw Meng Huaiqing again. Meng Huaiqing got out of the car and walked straight to the store. He handed over the bag in his hand and said, "It's a small thank you gift. I hope you won't refuse it."
Qin Xiang looked at the box and knew that the man didn't want to owe her a favor, so she accepted it. "It's just a small favor, don't mind it."
Meng Huaiqing was obviously relieved to see that she didn't refuse. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Your craftsmanship is very good."
"Thank you." Qin Xiang's cooking skills are certainly good. In her previous life, she learned to cook in order to make money and also worked as a nanny. No one said that her cooking was not delicious.
Qin Juan’s cooking skills are pretty good, but I still think the food cooked by Qin Xiang is delicious every time.
At this time, a guest came and his eyes unconsciously looked towards Meng Huaiqing.
Meng Huaiqing smiled and said, "Then I'll go to my uncle's place first, and we'll talk when we have time."
Qin Xiang smiled and sent the person out, "Okay."
When she came back, the guest asked curiously, "Is that your boyfriend?"
Qin Xiang was stunned and quickly shook her head, "No, he's the nephew of Mr. Ge next door. I helped him once, so he came to thank me."
"But this guy looks very handsome. Is that car at the door his too? Could he be a nouveau riche?" The customer was also a talkative person and gossiped, "Boss Qin, why don't you give it a try? You two look like a couple when you stand together."
Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and waved her hands repeatedly, "Don't talk nonsense, we are not from the same world."
They had just finished chatting and laughing when they suddenly noticed someone looking at them from outside. They looked up and met Meng Huaiqing's gaze.
Meng Huaiqing smiled and went in, but Qin Xiang felt a little embarrassed because of what the customer said, "Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. I'm going to be a college student soon, and I can't get married during college."
Although Qin Xiang spoke firmly, several customers in the store did not believe it.
A woman who came with her child to buy sportswear laughed and said, "How can a woman not get married? No matter how strong you are, sooner or later you still need a family and a man to love you. Otherwise, you will be so lonely."
Qin Xiang smiled and didn't argue.
Because she knew that arguing was useless, and most people held the same view.
But if you think about it carefully, is this really the case?
Young women in their twenties in this shop earn their own money now, so they can buy whatever they want and dress themselves up beautifully. But will they be willing to spend money like that once they get married? The woman who just spoke, for example, has a teenage child and isn't even forty herself, yet she dresses in a very old-fashioned way. Her clothes are from a few years ago and have faded from washing.
So Qin Xiang didn't understand why she wanted to get married, ruin her happy life, and serve a large family. Just to find someone who cared about her?
Qin Xiang doesn't refuse to fall in love, but marriage is out of the question as she has no need for it in the short term.
At this time, Qin Yang also followed Qin Hai back to Qinjiatun.
As soon as they entered the village, the two brothers saw the Qin army blocking the road.
"Where's Qin Xiang?"
