Chapter 280
As soon as these words fell, the room suddenly became quiet.
"Is Qiu Run here?"
Wang Limei immediately ran to open the door. When she saw Liang Qiurun, she was like she had seen a savior. "Qiurun."
After she called out, Wang Limei looked behind Liang Qiurun, but didn't see her daughter. She was a little disappointed, "She's not here?"
They all knew who this "she" was referring to.
Liang Qiurun didn't seem surprised that his mother-in-law would look for his wife. He stood at the door and had no intention of going in.
He stood tall and graceful at the door, his voice calm, "Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, I'm here on behalf of Jiang Jiang."
He pulled a bunch of keys from his pocket. "I bought the house after discussing it with Jiang Jiang. I support all her decisions."
"So you don't have to blame her. She and I both agree on this matter. She means well and wants you to live a more comfortable life in your later years. You don't have to accept it."
Then he changed the subject, adding a hint of sharpness, "But try not to blame her."
"When she bought the little white house for you two, she picked out the location, the size, the interior, and even stood inside to admire how happy you would be if you moved in. The only thing she didn't consider was that you would blame her."
When Liang Qiurun brought up those things that had already happened in the past, Wang Limei felt embarrassed. She explained awkwardly, "We don't blame her, but we think she was a bit wasteful in spending money on us."
"People like us are used to being poor. We just need a place to shelter from the wind and rain. We don't need to live in such a nice house."
Before Wang Limei could finish her words, Jiang Meilan uttered a low sigh, "Mom, that's enough."
Every time Wang Limei showed her timidity, she was embarrassing Jiang Meishu.
Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun are husband and wife, so Jiang Meilan thinks this is unnecessary.
Their family background was originally inferior to Liang Qiurun's, and now Jiang Meishu has finally made up the gap between the two in her career.
Wang Limei's words and actions were both belittling herself and Jiang Meishu.
Wang Limei didn't know what she said wrong and was still a little hesitant. Jiang Meilan couldn't bear it. She took a deep breath and whispered, "Whether you want this house or not, it's just a matter of one word. Why say so much?"
Wang Limei lowered her head and said nothing.
Jiang Chenliang said, "Don't force your mother. We have the keys, but we won't live there."
“We’re fine living here.”
Poor people are used to poor houses, and they will feel uncomfortable living in a big house of several hundred square meters.
Liang Qiurun hummed in agreement, his attitude very respectful. "After you accept the key, it's up to you whether you want to stay here or not."
"It's just that Jiang Jiang is thinking that if we could live together, it would only take a few steps to get there, and she could go home often to taste her mother-in-law's cooking. I guess you don't want to live with her, so naturally she won't be able to taste your cooking."
What a good move of retreating to advance.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Wang Limei hesitated. She stood at the door and struggled for a long time.
"Let Qiurun come in and sit down first."
It was still Jiang Chenliang, who had respectfully called Director Liang at the beginning, and now dared to call him Qiurun.
It's not that he is bolder, but that his daughter has made progress, and the gap between her and Liang Qiurun is getting smaller and smaller, so this gives him confidence.
Facing his father-in-law's invitation, Liang Qiurun refused, "No, it's already ten o'clock. I have to go back early so that Jiang Jiang won't be able to sleep alone."
"Now that I've given you the key, I'll take my leave."
He didn't even plan to come in and just left.
This made Jiang Chenliang a little uneasy. He ran out to see Liang Qiurun off. Jiang Meilan couldn't stop him until Liang Qiurun left.
Jiang Meilan finally let out a low growl, "You guys really have to do this? Meishu finally closed the gap with Liang Qiurun, and you guys are pushing them further apart, aren't you?"
"You are the elders, the father-in-law and the mother-in-law. It's fine if you are so kind. I thought you were caring for the younger generation, but they won't even enter the house, and you insist on giving them money to send them off. They won't even look at you. Why bother?"
"Why bother?"
"Will you be happy only if Liang Qiurun and even Meishu's family look down on you?"
It was like that in my previous life.
I thought my life would be better, but I didn't expect my parents to lower themselves so much.
Wang Limei was a little angry, "Meilan, how do you talk to your dad?"
"So what if we're being attentive? So what if we want to curry favor with Liang Qiurun and get him to treat our Meishu better?"
"Yes, I know we old people have embarrassed you children, but our original intention was good."
"Do you really have to accuse me like this?"
Jiang Meilan pinched her brows and said, "I won't say anything. It's up to you."
Go in and slam the door.
Wang Limei and Jiang Chenliang were left standing at the door. "Did we really do something wrong?"
They looked at each other.
Wang Limei was confused. She didn't understand why her younger daughter was like this and her older daughter was like this too.
Jiang Chenliang looked at the key without saying anything.
"Maybe we are too stubborn."
It was clear that I could move in as soon as I took the key, but they turned it into this.
At night, Wang Limei and Jiang Chenliang tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. By the next morning, both of them had dark circles under their eyes.
"Go and live here."
They fumbled with the key over and over again until it became warm.
"Meishu is right. If we don't experience it and live in a nice house, I'm afraid we won't have the chance in the future."
"In that case, go and live there."
"Anyway, it's better for us to go live there out of the children's filial piety than to quarrel with them."
Wang Limei didn't object, so she found Jiang Meilan and talked to her about it.
Jiang Meilan breathed a sigh of relief. "Mom and Dad, you should have done this a long time ago. I know you want to save money for me and Meishu, but with our current net worth, saving a few tens of thousands of dollars won't have any impact on our lives or careers."
"In that case, why don't you enjoy it? We'll be happy too."
"Let's move there," she said. "Xiaoju also misses her aunt, and our family can get together more often, so she doesn't have to run to two places every time she comes back, which is very tiring."
Wang Limei hummed, "We can't argue with you."
Jiang Meilan came up and hugged her arm and acted coquettishly, "It's not that I can't persuade you, it's just that Mom feels sorry for us. Don't work too hard."
"Meishu and I both know."
"It just so happens that the house over there is bigger. We can move there and temporarily build the factory inside. The workers can also go to Uncle Lin to learn at any time. It's really killing two birds with one stone."
"My sister is still good to me."
When Jiang Chenliang mentioned this, he looked a little embarrassed. "We are still hiding this from Qiu Run. Isn't that a bad idea?"
He is an honest man, and this kind of deception is like killing him.
Jiang Meilan immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "Dad, there's nothing to say about this matter. It's their own business. Don't interfere. You might end up making things worse."
Jiang Chenliang squatted down and scratched his head.
I can't say anything.
Jiang Meilan let him digest it himself and turned to tell Jiang Meishu the good news.
Jiang Meishu was somewhat happy. She turned around and assigned all her own matters to Secretary Xu, and then she rushed to Yangcheng.
I took my parents and Jiang Meilan's family to look at houses.
The house is in the middle, a small three-story white building with a garden that is bigger than the one Liang's mother lives in now, but it is not as well preserved as Liang's mother's house.
Moreover, the garden looked a little dilapidated. However, Jiang Meilan and the others didn't care. She was going to use the yard as a temporary factory, and she even wanted to cut down the garden.
Wait until you have finished shopping.
Jiang Meilan couldn't help but hug Jiang Meishu excitedly, "I never imagined that I could still eat my sister's soft rice and live in the big house she gave me in this life."
Jiang Meishu was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe. She smiled and said, "We are just eating each other's food."
Shen Xiaoju liked it so much that she ran back and forth on the stairs, "Auntie, auntie, this house is too big, and this house is not a toilet, this is a toilet, a toilet."
She only used the toilet when she visited her aunt's house. Otherwise, she squatted in the stinky toilet every day.
Jiang Meishu touched Shen Xiaoju's head and asked, "Do you like it here?"
"like."
"Then you'll live here from now on. You're eight years old now and can live in your own room. Go pick a room you like."
Eight-year-old Shen Xiaoju immediately ran out happily, looking for the room she liked.
Jiang Meilan looked at her daughter's happy expression and whispered, "Just spoil her."
Jiang Meishu thought for a moment, "Sister, this isn't about spoiling her, it's about—"
She chose her words carefully. "It's something we didn't have when we were little, and we want her to have it."
"I didn't have a house of my own until I got married, and you were the same, but Xiaoju was different."
Jiang Meishu smiled gently, "She had it when she was eight, something we only had when we were in our twenties."
"Sister, don't you think this is great?"
Jiang Meilan looked at Jiang Meishu like this and murmured, "Meishu, you are so good. You married Liang Qiurun but can't have your own children. Do you regret it?"
Jiang Meishu shook her head, "I don't regret it."
"Looking at other people's children is different from having your own children."
"Liang Qiurun and I have a good relationship and can spend our lives together. That's enough."
She smiled, relieved and insightful, "Sister, how can anything in life be perfect? If you can get 70% or 80% of it, you're lucky."
Jiang Meilan thought the same and said, "As long as you don't regret it."
"Do you regret it then?"
Jiang Meishu asked her.
They have been married to each other for almost ten years and are each living the life they have always dreamed of.
Jiang Meilan shook her head, "I don't regret it either."
"It's fine now."
"Me too."

When Jiang Meilan and Wang Limei moved in, they held a housewarming party, after all, they were moving into a bigger house.
The attitude is still different.
Wang Limei and Jiang Chenliang, who had always said that they would not live in a big house, put on decent clothes on this day and stood at the door to welcome guests.
In fact, there were not many guests, mainly the Liang family, Liang's mother, Uncle Lin, and Shen Mingying and his wife.
The rest were old acquaintances they met while setting up stalls.
When it was their turn to come in and congratulate, those friends who were familiar with Wang Limei couldn't help but look up at the big house.
"Limei, you said you live in such a big house, but you are still reluctant. If I were you, I would wake up laughing in my dreams if my child was so successful."
"Yeah, you really don't know how lucky you are."
"Go ask around the street where we set up our stall, how many kids can achieve this? They're so young and they've already bought such a big house for their parents to live in."
"You are not a mother at all, you are clearly an ancestor."
"It makes others envious."
After being praised like this, Wang Limei's awkwardness disappeared, and she was filled with pride. "My child is so capable. It makes us parents ashamed."
Jiang Meishu stood beside them, sipping coconut milk and muttering to Jiang Meilan, "Mom must be so proud right now. Look at her expression, it's different."
"How fiercely you scolded me before, how happy you are now."
Jiang Meilan raised her hand and pinched her face. "Okay, let's not bother with the elderly. That's just how they are."
"As long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter how it is achieved."
"Just move in. This way, when you come back from Pengcheng, you don't have to run back and forth." She looked tired.
Jiang Meishu hummed, raised her chin, and said with a smug look on her face, "From now on, I will eat lunch at my husband's house and dinner at my parents' house. After dinner, I will stroll back to my own home."
This time she bought two small white buildings at once.
It really takes care of all three parties.
She is such a clever little girl.
Jiang Meilan next to him smiled and said, "You can even live at home, let alone eat."
She looked at the small white building and whispered to Jiang Meishu, "Meishu, why do I feel like the present life is like a dream?"
She lived in a big villa in the 1980s, and she also had her own business. She could make 30,000 yuan a month just by setting up a stall.
He also collects rent, runs a factory, and runs a grocery store in the capital. It may not look impressive, but it brings in a lot of income.
She got married, loved her husband, and gave birth to a smart and well-behaved daughter.
Not only does she have her own career, she also lives in a big house with her biological parents. It's no different from before she got married.
No, there is a difference. Life is better now.
Jiang Meishu pinched her arm and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"pain."
"Then it's not a dream."
Jiang Meishu looked longingly and said, "Sister, we will all live the life we want."
All the things that were lacking in the past will be satisfied little by little in the future.
Held a housewarming party.
The Jiang family officially moved in. Jiang Meilan was a very capable person and she even gave a lot of White Rabbit milk candies to the neighbors nearby.
Although this is not a very valuable item, it is at least presentable.
The surrounding neighbors were originally still watching, but after learning that the Jiang family was the Liang family's in-laws, they became half-neighbors.
The relationship between the two parties suddenly changed from strangers to acquaintances.
It’s really because Liang’s mother is too famous in this generation. She is a person who is famous for enjoying life and dressing up.
There is a nanny at home, flowers in the yard, and a handsome old housekeeper.
Even in Guangzhou, this is rare.
Fortunately, this happened in the 1980s, otherwise, with Liang's mother's behavior, she would be labeled a capitalist.
Fortunately, with the reform and opening up, the inspections in this regard are not so strict now, and Liang's mother's behavior has been sought after by many people.
She is somewhat of a celebrity in this area.
With Liang's mother taking the lead, Jiang Meishu was no longer worried and simply returned to Xiaodongmen.
The square here has gradually developed, and the entire square is filled with stalls.
Jiang Meilan also brought some old acquaintances from Xihu Street to set up stalls, but none of them came in person. Instead, they asked a young girl to help look after the stalls.
These are people who have been selected in advance and have begun to be trained.
Jiang Meishu's own small stall was also opened here.
Soon it was the Chinese New Year of 1983, and the Xiaodongmen project was in full swing. The square was opened and commercials were filmed.
The houses in the second phase are also being built at a rapid pace, but the houses in Fugui Homeland cannot be sold no matter how much they are promoted because of their remote location.
Jiang Meishu and Qiao Jiahui just watched coldly. It was not yet the last straw that broke the camel's back, so they just watched coldly.
During the Chinese New Year, she returned to Guangzhou, Qiao Jiahui returned to Hong Kong, and Secretary Xu, Jiang Meishu, was originally going to give him a holiday.
Secretary Xu refused, not only did he refuse, he also brought his relatives from Hong Kong to Guangzhou.
He booked a house in a residential building in Xiaodongmen, which was used as a dormitory for his employees by Jiang Meishu. Each person lived in an apartment of more than 40 square meters.
For Secretary Xu, this house is bigger than his house in Hong Kong. Instead of leaving his family in Hong Kong, they might be threatened by Li Chengdong at any time.
It would be better to bring him to Pengcheng. The laws in Pengcheng are strict. At least after coming here, Li Chengdong would not dare to harm his family.
It is even more impossible to cover the sky with one hand.
To this end, Qiao Jiahui also helped a lot. Almost without anyone noticing, he sent Secretary Xu's family to Pengcheng.
For this reason, he is almost Secretary Xu's great benefactor.
Not to mention the New Year, even if he was beheaded, he would stick to his post until the very end.
What's more, it's good to be on duty at Xiaodongmen. It only takes three minutes to go home, and there will be hot meals when you get home. You can also get triple salary for being on duty.
Only a fool wouldn't be on duty.
It was because of Secretary Xu’s selfless dedication that Jiang Meishu and Qiao Jiahui were able to have a happy New Year.
This year the whole family gathered at the Jiang family's house to warm up the house.
After the Chinese New Year, Jiang Meishu was planning to return to Shenzhen. As a result, Jiang Meilan asked Jiang Meishu to help choose a good day.
Tick-Tick Children's Clothing is about to open.
However, when Liang's mother heard the name, she complained, "This garment factory's name sounds like it will be short-lived."
As soon as these words fell, Jiang Meishu and Jiang Meilan immediately looked over.
Not only were they not angry, but they were curious and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Liang's mother said, "Tick-tick, the water drops on the ground and disappears. You might as well make a panda, a potato or something, or the popular Angel clothing."
"At least it sounds more fashionable. Listening to the ticking, what's wrong? Is this a clock counting down to someone's death?"
Jiang Meishu was not angry at all, but found it very interesting. She went to see Jiang Meilan, who nodded and asked tentatively, "Godmother, why don't you help me come up with a name?"
"We haven't opened yet, so we can change the name now while there's still time."
Liang's mother said, "Let's call it Angel Children's Clothing. The simpler the better."
Jiang Meilan read it twice, "Angel, Angel, Angel children's clothing."
“That’s what I call it!”
Jiang Meishu also thought it sounded nice, and she couldn't help but say, "It's indeed better than my name, tick-tick-tick."
The corners of Liang's mother's mouth twitched. She didn't expect that the name was actually given by Jiang Meishu.
Her hair trembled. "You're really good at naming things."
Jiang Meishu smiled with her lips pursed, and Jiang Meilan thanked her. She was a decisive person. Since the name had to be changed, the business license must also be changed.
She first went to the Industrial and Commercial Office and changed her name.
Anqi Garment Factory was officially established on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. At the same time, Jiang Meishu gave her a suggestion: "Open a store."
"Angel Children's Wear sells both mid-range and low-end clothing. It's definitely not as good as having them set up stalls in stores."
Listening to these familiar words popping out one by one.
Jiang Meilan was a little dazed, "Who are you?"
Jiang Meishu, "Hmm?"
As if knowing what she was going to ask, "I learned it in Hong Kong, sister. You forgot, there are so many stores in Hong Kong. Qiao's alone has two or three stores. It was Jiahui who taught me all of them."
Now, Jiang Meilan's doubts were gradually dispelled, but there was still a trace of doubt, "Have you been reborn?"
This was the first time she hit a straight ball like this.
Jiang Meishu shook her head, "No."
I traveled through time.
It’s a pity that Jiang Meilan didn’t ask any further. In her mind, the word “time travel” didn’t even exist.
Fortunately, someone else came over and Jiang Meilan didn't ask any more questions. Jiang Meishu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave, but was stopped by her again.
"Then the promotion of the opening of Angel Children's Clothing will be left to you."
She knew that her sister was a genius in design and promotion.
Jiang Meishu, "Angel Children's Wear has just opened, so let's temporarily name it Yangcheng Radio. When the time comes, we'll add Yangcheng Newspaper to the mix. We'll also make a separate batch of flyers, print some of Angel Children's Wear's beautiful clothes on them, and distribute them on Xihu Road. Oh, and also at Xiaodongmen."
"The first step is to build the reputation of Angel Clothing within Guangdong Province, not just the whole country."
Jiang Meilan listened to Jiang Meishu's instructions. "Just arrange it. You're more professional than me in this area."
"You don't need to ask for my opinion. It's useless to ask anyway."
Jiang Meishu was a little amused, but since the other party had given her the power, she worked very quickly. The opening of Angel's clothing store was scheduled for February 18th, which was still a month away.
The store location was assigned to Jiang Meilan, and the decoration was assigned to Master Qiao, who is one of our own.
Jiang Meishu personally oversaw the decoration plan for Master Qiao, and she designed it according to the decoration style of children's clothing stores in later generations.
Bright lights, tall display stands, and a variety of children's clothing models began to be ordered.
At the same time, Jiang Meishu was personally in charge of the advertising. When she received the promotional advertisement again, Jiang Meishu was a little dazed.
In my previous life, I was not an accountant, but an advertising designer.
Even the industry has changed.
However, practice makes perfect in these tasks. Jiang Meishu has worked on several popular advertising projects, so it is natural for her to be able to do small advertisements like Angel Clothing's.
But Angel Children's Wear hasn't opened for business for fifteen days yet.
It has become well-known in the streets and alleys of Guangzhou.
This is exactly the effect Jiang Meishu wants.
After the warm-up was almost over, on February 18th, the beautiful decoration and large glass door appeared, and behind the door were children's clothes hanging on hangers.
The bright lights make it extremely eye-catching.
Many families with children would clamor to go to Angel Clothing to buy clothes.
Now that's better.
Wait until the opening day on February 18th.
Angel's clothing is a hit!
