The most rare thing is that the young man is somewhat similar to a very popular Hong Kong star named Liang.

Eighty percent of the women in the card room had no intention of playing cards. They were all stealing glances at the new handsome guy. Shen Baolan also glanced at him several times. She played the wrong cards and lost money, but she was not angry. Instead, she gossiped with her card friends about the handsome guy's background.

"It's the new owner of the video store in front."

Shen Baolan was surprised, "The video store makes so much money, why did Ma Laowu quit?"

"No matter how much you earn, you can never lose as much as he does. I heard that he lost nearly 100,000 yuan in stock trading. His creditors came to him to ask for money, so he had no choice but to sell the store to pay off his debts."

"Bang! How much money did you transfer?"

"Eighty thousand! It should be at least sixty or seventy thousand. The video store business is so prosperous, it shouldn't be a problem to make ten or twenty thousand a year."

That's true.

…

After playing cards, on the way home for dinner, Shen Baolan couldn't help but take a few glances at the video store when passing by.

After not seeing it for just one day, the video store had a shiny new sign.

It was originally called Xiaoma Video Store, but now it has been changed to Xinchao Video Store.

Young people really know how to do things, even the name of the store is so trendy.

"Sister Shen, do you want to rent a tape? Come in and take a look. We have a new batch of Hong Kong movies and Qiong Yao dramas."

Shen Baolan was a frequent watcher of videotapes, and she especially loved watching Qiong Yao dramas.

After being warmly greeted by the new handsome shop owner, I stepped into the store.

"What are they?"

As he asked, he couldn't help but look at the young man.

Looking closer, I found that he was even more handsome, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a handsome face, and a 3:7 hairstyle. He looked no less handsome than the male celebrities in the posters on the wall.

Gao Hualiang smiled at her, revealing his white teeth, "Sister Shen, do you want to watch a movie or a TV series?"

“Both.”

"Okay, sit down and I'll bring it to you."

Gao Hualiang politely showed her how to sit, poured her a glass of water, and then went to the inner room to get the tape.

Shen Baolan drank some water while looking around the store.

In addition to changing the new sign, the walls were also repainted, and the lights were replaced with beautiful chandeliers. In addition, flowers and plants were placed everywhere in the store, making it look exquisite and romantic.

Gao Hualiang quickly came out with a dozen videotapes.

Just as Gao Hualiang said, they were all newly released Hong Kong films and the popular Qiong Yao dramas in the island province.

Due to restrictions on the policy of introducing overseas film and television works, it will take at least half a year or even a year for these films to be released and broadcast in China.

Video stores with connections will find ways to get the source of the films and use the time difference to make huge profits.

However, renting out such non-genuine videotapes is illegal, so they are usually only rented to acquaintances.

"I want all of these. How much is the deposit?"

"Sister Shen, just take it back and have a look. Return it to me as soon as possible after you're done so I can rent it out to someone else."

Seeing Shen Baolan's surprise, Gao Hualiang smiled shyly and said, "I've heard Sister Lu and the others talk about you. You have a big family and a big business, so you wouldn't cheat me of a few worn-out belts."

Shen Baolan felt very comfortable with these compliments.

She picked up the videotape unceremoniously and said, "Okay, I'll return it to you as soon as I'm done watching it, and I'll pay you the rent then."

"These are all trivial matters. Sister Shen, if it is convenient for you, please leave your contact information and I will notify you when I have a new tape."

Shen Baolan readily left her pager number.

After renting a new tape, Shen Baolan stopped playing cards and stayed at home obsessed with watching TV series every day.

Although Ma Sufen couldn't stand her laziness, she was also obsessed with Qiong Yao dramas. Not only did she watch them, she also discussed them with Shen Baolan from time to time.

The irreconcilable relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law was temporarily maintained at surface peace because of a Qiong Yao drama.

…

Fengcheng in August is comparable to Guangzhou. The heat wave is rolling in at 8:30 in the morning, like a huge steamer, so hot that it is hard to breathe.

While waiting for the red light at the intersection, Shen Mingzhu took out her mobile phone and called the ice factory, asking them to send two trucks of ice to the factory to cool down the factory buildings and workers.

When I dialed half of the number, I saw Shen Hongmei sitting alone on the curb, with her head down, thinking about something.

She rolled down the car window, "Hongmei!"

"What’s wrong with you?"

Shen Hongmei shook her head at her, as if she didn't have the strength to speak.

Shen Mingzhu pulled over the car, got out and walked over. When she got closer, she saw that Shen Hongmei's face was pale, her lips were gray, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead and nose, but it didn't seem like hot sweat, more like cold sweat.

"Are you sick? Or are you suffering from heat stroke?"

"It should be heat stroke. I'll be fine after sitting for a while."

Hearing this, Shen Mingzhu went back to the car to get Huoxiang Zhengqi water and a cup and gave it to the other party to drink.

"Are you feeling better? If not, go to the hospital."

Heatstroke can be serious or minor, but once it causes heat stroke, it can be fatal.

"I'm feeling better now, thank you, Mingzhu."

"You go to work at the factory first. I'll just sit here for a while."

"I might need to take half an hour off."

Shen Mingzhu ignored Shen Hongmei's nagging. She pushed the motorcycle to the parking area, parked it, and then came back to help the man up.

"Go to my car and I'll take you to the factory."

"No, I can do it myself..."

Before she could finish her words, Shen Hongmei's eyes went dark.

…

Shen Hongmei was awakened by the crying baby.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Zhao Dafa sitting beside the bed, staring at her intently.

"Hongmei, you're awake. Are you feeling unwell?"

Shen Hongmei looked around subconsciously.

No wonder it's noisy. The patients in the other beds are either pregnant women or new mothers holding their babies.

"Brother Zhao, why am I here?"

Zhao Dafa held her hand and said gently, "You fainted on the road. Fortunately, you met Sister Shen, who sent you to the hospital."

After hearing this, Shen Hongmei remembered what happened before she fainted.

Shen Mingzhu also prescribed two bottles of Huoxiang Zhengqi water for her to drink...

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Zhao Dafa say, "Hongmei, do you know that you are pregnant?"

She looked at Zhao Dafa's happy face and couldn't recover for a long time.

Zhao Dafa touched her face and smiled happily, "When I first found out, I was just like you, I was so happy that I was silly."

"You too, you didn't even know you were pregnant, aren't you stupid?"

Is she pregnant?

She is actually pregnant!

She finally got pregnant.

Shock, excitement, joy, disbelief, complex emotions surged into Shen Hongmei's heart, making her eyes wet.

…

"vomit!"

As soon as she stepped into the bathroom, she saw Pei Wenping lying in front of the sink vomiting. Shen Mingzhu hurried forward to help her pat her back.

When Pei Wenping recovered, she asked quietly, "Sister, you are not pregnant too, are you?"

"Bah! Stop cursing at me!"

Pei Wenping spat at her, and then explained that she had ate some fried skewers from a roadside stall after get off work yesterday, but she didn't know the food was not clean, so she vomited and had diarrhea for half the night.

"I'm much better now, but my stomach is not feeling well and I feel nauseous all the time."

Shen Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief.

Jia Yuemei is pregnant, Shen Hongmei is pregnant too, she won't come for another Pei Wenping... (End of this chapter)
