"What can the police do? Can they stand guard at the door of the noodle shop 24 hours a day?"

Shen Mingzhu's question left the three of them speechless.

"Listen to my little sister, pack up your things and move out!"

Shen Chaobei made a prompt decision, but Qin Jinlian felt bad for the rent she had paid in cash. "We can't just leave like this. We have to ask the landlord to return the rent, even if it's only half."

Shen Xiangnan thought so too.

In order to help him with his business, his eldest brother invested all his fortune in the noodle shop.

Now that he had finally run the noodle shop and started to make money, he ran into Cao Haigang and his group of ruffians.

No matter what, the rent must be recovered.

"Little sister, you are the smartest person in our family. Can you think of a way to get our rent back?"

Qin Jinlian quickly agreed, "Mingzhu, please help your elder and second brothers."

Although Shen Chaobei didn't say anything, his face showed anticipation, and he obviously wanted to get the rent back.

Shen Mingzhu poured cold water on the three people without any hesitation, "Why do you think the rent on this street is so cheap? It's so popular, but the shop has been empty all the time. What a coincidence that you rented it?"

"Jia Kui, who rented the shop to you, is a henchman under Cao Haigang. This shop has had four owners this year."

This area is on the fringe of the city, where all kinds of people gather together, and all kinds of evil forces are intertwined. Even the government is helpless. Ordinary people like them are courting death if they go head-to-head with a bully like Cao Haigang.

Cao Haigang said on the surface that he was collecting protection money, but in fact he was forcing the two brothers to leave.

After the two Shen Chaobei brothers leave, Cao Haigang will continue to rent the shop to the next "sucker" to make money.

If they block Cao Haigang's financial path, they will inevitably be retaliated against.

Qin Jinlian angrily cursed: "How could this bastard be so evil? Why didn't the thunder from heaven kill him?"

"Okay, stop talking and pack your things. I'll go get a taxi."

The noodle shop is not big, with only six sets of tables and chairs, plus pots, pans, and other things, which can't even fill a small truck.

This incident dealt a heavy blow to the two brothers Shen Chaobei and Shen Xiangnan.

The two brothers were full of confidence and vowed to make a career that would impress Shen Mingzhu.

As a result, in just one month, not only did the store close down, but all the money was also lost.

…

Compared to Shen Xiangnan's dejection, Jia Yuemei was relatively calm.

Shen Xiangnan only contributed two hundred yuan to open the noodle shop, and the rest was contributed by Shen Chaobei.

During this month, the noodle shop made a profit of nearly two hundred yuan, and the two brothers each got half. All in all, the couple only lost one hundred yuan.

"So what does your little sister have to say about the money you paid out?"

Hearing Jia Yuemei's question, Shen Xiangnan looked confused, "What do you mean?"

Jia Yuemei rolled her eyes. "My sister asked me to close the noodle shop, so she should at least help you guys reopen it, right?"

Shen Xiangnan lowered his head and said nothing.

Jia Yuemei added, "Ask mom to talk to my younger sister. She'll either let you work in the food factory or help you reopen the noodle shop."

Shen Xiangnan raised his head, his face not looking very good, "Do you think I am a loser who can't do anything and relies on either my younger sister or my older brother?"

"I shouldn't have listened to you and quit my job. If I hadn't quit, I would still be working well, and my brother wouldn't have lost his shares and money because of me."

"I'm too embarrassed to look for my little sister. I'm going to look for a job tomorrow!"

After yelling, Shen Xiangnan fell on the bed with his back to Jia Yuemei to express his dissatisfaction.

Although Jia Yuemei is good at calculating, she is not as stupid as Yang Lizhen. At this time, she added fuel to the fire and quarreled with Shen Xiangnan.

She climbed onto the bed, put her arms around Shen Xiangnan's waist from behind, and coaxed him softly, "Why are you angry? I asked you to go to Xiaomei for the sake of our future."

Seeing that Shen Xiangnan didn't respond, Jia Yuemei whispered again: "I have something good to tell you. I'm pregnant..."

Shen Xiangnan turned around with a start, his face full of surprise, but soon he thought of something and asked doubtfully: "You didn't lie to me, did you?"

The corners of Shen Xiangnan's mouth slowly opened again, "Are you really pregnant?"

Jia Yuemei stood up and took the bag hanging behind the door, took out a checklist from the bag and handed it to Shen Xiangnan.

Shen Xiangnan stared at the checklist for a long time before he raised his head excitedly, "It's been two months? I'm going to be a father?"

"Yuemei, you're so kind! Give me a son!"

Shen Xiangnan was so excited that he picked up Jia Yuemei, jumped under the bed, and turned around in circles in the room.

…

The news of Jia Yuemei's pregnancy soon reached the ears of everyone in the Shen family. Everyone was very happy, including Shen Mingzhu, because it was a happy occasion to have a new baby.

Shen Xiangnan shook off the depression of business failure and happily went to Shen Mingzhu to ask her to find him a job so that he could earn money to support his family.

Shen Mingzhu supported Shen Xiangnan's idea in her heart.

It's a good thing for a grown man to be ambitious and responsible, which is better than lying down all day waiting for her charity.

Shen Mingzhu did not make any arrangements directly for Shen Xiangnan, but asked him to think carefully about what he wanted to do.

Shen Xiangnan thought about it for two days and decided to open a noodle restaurant.

Shen Mingzhu helped him upgrade, "Open a restaurant, a noodle shop won't be very promising."

"You want to help me open a restaurant?"

Shen Xiangnan was so happy that his mouth was almost crooked. He confirmed again and again, "Little sister, are you really going to open a restaurant for me? Are you kidding me?"

Shen Mingzhu chuckled, "Don't be too happy too soon. You need skills to open a restaurant. Go and learn the skills for a year. If you can learn it, I will definitely help you open the restaurant."

"OK!"

Qin Jinlian was naturally happy when she learned that Shen Mingzhu was going to open a restaurant for the second brother, but after being happy, she started to worry about the current situation.

In order to ensure that Jia Yuemei's pregnancy goes smoothly, Qin Jinlian decided to let Jia Yuemei quit her job at the food factory and stay at home to take care of her pregnancy.

Jia Yuemei has lost her income, and Shen Xiangnan can’t make any money by learning a craft. How are the young couple going to survive?

Qin Jinlian went to Shen Mingzhu and wanted her to help.

Shen Mingzhu directly threw the blame back, "Second brother and second sister-in-law can't make money, but don't we still have you? You can continue to set up a stall to sell stinky tofu and rice noodle sausages, and earn fifty or sixty yuan a month, which is enough for second brother and second sister-in-law to spend."

"You have always been partial to the second brother. You won't not help him, right? He is going to be a father soon. The grandson in the second sister-in-law's belly is the hope for our Shen family to continue the family line."

"Mom, whether Second Sister-in-law can safely give birth to the eldest grandson for the Shen family depends on you."

Qin Jinlian had no idea that she was being manipulated by her daughter. Instead, she felt that what her daughter said made sense. Having a grandson was her pursuit and ideal for the rest of her life.

So, Qin Jinlian happily started to set up a stall early in the morning and make money.

New Year's Day is here in the blink of an eye.

Mingzhu Food Square’s self-operated store chose this day for its grand opening, symbolizing a new beginning in the new year.

The opening ceremony was very lively, and the flower baskets almost covered the store entrance. Zhong Qing, Yan Yi, Ning Yuan all came in person to support her, and even Yan Su came.

Although she sent an invitation to Yan Su, she did not expect the other party to really come.

But Yan Su Ren not only came, but also sent two pairs of large flower baskets.

The mountain-like and sea-like flower baskets were enough to attract attention, and the four people also drove different cars.

Zhong Qing’s Bentley, Yan Yi’s Jeep, Yan Su’s Maybach, and Ning Yuan’s Lamborghini.

Four luxury cars were parked in a row outside the store, enough to attract the attention of the entire street. Customers flocked in to see the novelty, almost squeezing the store door down.

"Hey, isn't that Mr. Ning? Who is talking to him? I don't think I've seen him before."

A car passed by the store. Two young women in the car looked at Ning Yuan, who was chatting and laughing with Shen Mingzhu in front of Mingzhu Food House, and gossiped about it.
