◎Yuanyuan, who was disliked by her father◎
Brother Wei handed over the task of collecting grain in the village to his younger brother, and he himself prepared to make further contacts in several villages he had visited before. He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be two villages where there were several fruit trees planted at the door of every household.
Today, when I was talking to my brother-in-law on the phone, he just remembered that this thing should be easy to sell in the city. He should go and check it out as soon as possible, and if it is ripe, it would be best if he could buy all of it.
The Wei family was busy collecting grain, and Jiang Che in Jing City was also not idle. He was discussing with Wei Xuan how many stores to open at one time this time.
Wei Xuan said, "Go find a house first. Keep one thousand from the family's money for purchasing goods, and use the rest to buy as many houses as you can."
There's no rule that you have to open a store after buying a house. It's also fine to keep it there and let it appreciate in value!
After getting his wife's approval, Jiang Che began to not return home until dark every day.
It was drizzling that night, and he rode his bike all the way back home quickly. As soon as he got home, he called Wei Xuan: "Wife, is there any hot water? I need to take a shower first."
Wei Xuan walked out of the house quickly, and seeing that he was soaked, she quickly said, "There is freshly boiled hot water in the kitchen. Go take a shower first, and I'll find some clothes for you."
...
...
After finding the clothes and handing them to him, Wei Xuan went to the kitchen to heat up dinner for him before returning to the house.
After taking a shower, Jiang Che went straight into the inner room carrying his bowl of rice.
Wei Xuan and her daughter were already lying on the kang in the room. Yuanyuan saw her father coming back, got up from the quilt, and shouted quickly, "Dad!"
"Hey, baby girl."
Perhaps because he thought this was very interesting, Yuanyuan shouted to his father again.
Jiang Che also replied to her.
Wei Xuan couldn't bear to see the clingy look between the father and daughter, so she interrupted, "That's enough, it's late at night, you've been yelling at her until she's alert, are you going to comfort her?"
Knowing that he was in the wrong, Jiang Che gave Wei Xuan a flattering smile and did not dare to respond to his daughter again.
Yuanyuan was well behaved. When she saw that her father didn't want to play this game with her anymore, she didn't make a fuss. She just lay on Wei Xuan in this position, muttering something to herself.
This was the time she usually went to bed, but she didn't even last a few minutes before her eyes closed.
Feeling that her daughter was no longer moving, Wei Xuan tentatively moved her to another position. After she fell into a deep sleep, she asked Jiang Che if he had gained anything from his outing today.
Jiang Che smiled when he talked about this: "I have looked at many houses in the past few days. Apart from those with bad locations and those that are too run-down, there are three that I like. These three places are near the factory and there are quite a lot of people. I plan to buy them all."
Wei Xuan nodded, without even asking the price, and only said, "If you like it, buy it."
But when Jiang Che went to bed that night, he said something to Wei Xuan: "Do you think we should move to the sixth floor that we bought earlier?"
Wei Xuan was about to fall asleep, but was woken up by his words: "Why do you suddenly want to move over there?" Didn't you say before that it would be inconvenient to go up and down the stairs if you live over there?
Jiang Che pointed at his daughter and said, "In two months, the child will be two years old. Isn't it appropriate for her to continue sleeping in the same bed with us?"
Hey, you usually act like a treasure to me, but now you seem to think I'm in the way.
Wei Xuan was too lazy to pay attention to him, so she turned over and fell asleep.
That being said, it is indeed better for children to sleep separately from their parents when they grow up.
There is no rush to move. The weather is cold now, so it’s okay to wait until after the New Year to move, but you can prepare things in advance.
There is nothing missing on the sixth floor, but my daughter's room still needs to be rearranged.
This room was probably a study in the past, with a small bookshelf and a large desk.
Wei Xuan decided to move the desk to their room, and then put a bed in her daughter's room, and put a wardrobe against the wall next to the bookshelf. The main reason was that the room was not big, and if too many things were put in, there would be no space to turn around.
These things are not urgent. Wei Xuan can just find someone to do them when she has time.
The most urgent thing now is to recruit people. Three stores have been opened at once, and no one can look after them. Wei Xuan cannot take care of it alone.
But before we could figure out what was going on, something happened to the Jiang family again.
That day, Wei Sansao came home to find Wei Xuan after get off work.
The first thing he said when he entered the door was: "Is your brother-in-law not home?"
"No, what's wrong?"
Then Wei Xuan saw Wei Sansao sneaking in, looking like she had something important to say.
This made Wei Xuan laugh: "Third sister-in-law, there's no one at home, you don't have to be so careful."
Mrs. Wei was stunned for a moment by what she said, and then she realized that she had overreacted a bit, but she didn't care about it. Instead, she gave Wei Xuan a big surprise as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Little sister, do you know who I saw today?"
Section 54
Who is it?
Seeing Wei Xuan's puzzled expression, Third Sister Wei didn't keep her waiting and said directly, "I saw my brother-in-law's brother-in-law and a woman who was not his sister in the alley next to our supply and marketing cooperative."
What a mess?
Wei Xuan realized who she was talking about and immediately became serious: "Third sister-in-law, you can't say such things casually."
Seeing that she didn't believe her, Third Sister Wei quickly said, "I'm not talking nonsense. I saw it with my own eyes this morning. How could it be false? I'm sure that man is your brother-in-law from your in-laws' side. I saw him when Yuanyuan was one year old before. I can't be wrong."
Wei Xuan opened and closed her mouth for a long time before finally asking, "Did you see clearly which brother-in-law it was?"
"It should be the one in the middle. He was wearing glasses. I remember it clearly."
That’s right, Nie Yuande did wear glasses.
How come this happened to be seen by my third sister-in-law?
After thinking about it, Wei Xuan still warned her: "Third sister-in-law, please don't tell anyone else about this."
"Don't worry, I know my limits. I won't tell anyone except you. Didn't you see I asked if my brother-in-law was home before I came in? I guarantee I'll keep it to myself. But what are you going to do? Should I let my brother-in-law beat him up first?"
Wei Xuan saw that her eyes were shining, and she looked like she was enjoying a good show. Why didn't she believe what she said? Wei Xuan still remembered that when she was in her hometown, her third sister-in-law liked to grab a handful of melon seeds and squat at the door to gossip with the young wives in the village. Could she really keep this to herself and not tell anyone else?
Forget it. At least there aren't many young wives here who have time to gossip with her. If she wants to speak, she needs someone to talk to her.
After sending away Wei Sansao, Wei Xuan started to worry about how to bring up this matter with Jiang Che.
Jiang Che came back very early today. As soon as he came back, he told Wei Xuan that he had found two candidates who could help run the store, but he still wanted Wei Xuan to meet them again. If there were no problems, he could arrange for them to go to the store to learn for two days. After they were familiar with the store's procedures, they would be assigned to the new store.
Jiang Che was talking excitedly, but Wei Xuan didn't have much interest in listening to him.
Jiang Che also noticed it, and his wife didn't respond after he talked for a long time.
It was Yuanyuan who shouted that she was hungry that brought Wei Xuan back to her senses.
Jiang Che asked worriedly, "Wife, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No," Wei Xuan handed the child to him and said, "You take care of it. I'll go to the kitchen and bring the food."
After dinner, when the family of three were lying in bed, Wei Xuan looked at Jiang Che and said, "I have something to tell you, but you must promise not to be impulsive after listening."
"Okay, I promise, go ahead."
Seeing that he was so straightforward, Wei Xuan told her what Third Sister Wei had said to her without hiding anything. Seeing that Jiang Che's expression was becoming more and more gloomy, Wei Xuan quickly pulled him back: "You said you weren't impulsive."
After being reminded by his wife, Jiang Che closed his eyes and took two deep breaths before opening his eyes and said, "This bastard, I haven't settled the score with him for what he did to me before, and he dared to let my sister down. I won't be called Jiang Che if I don't skin him alive this time."
As a woman, Wei Xuan has a different opinion from Jiang Che.
"You can deal with him however you want, but the prerequisite is that you have to consider my second sister. If this is true, would my second sister be willing to divorce?" This is not something that can be solved by just beating him up.
If she is willing to divorce, it won't be too late to deal with him after the divorce. But what if Second Sister doesn't want to, if you deal with her man, Second Sister and the child will also be implicated. So the crux of the matter still lies with Second Sister Jiang.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Che got angry after hearing this.
"Why doesn't she divorce a man like this? Why does she keep him?"
Yes, why keep it? But some women have their own logic, and they can be self-consistent without the help of men.
Now she could only pray that Second Sister Jiang was not such a person! After all, she was Jiang Che's sister, and he had been very good to her since she got married. She hoped that she could live a better life.
Fearing that Jiang Che might do something extreme, Wei Xuan could only comfort him: "Isn't this matter still unconfirmed? Maybe my third sister-in-law saw it wrong, or maybe those two people are not in that kind of relationship at all. Who knows? After all, my third sister-in-law didn't hear them say anything wrong. Ask someone to inquire about this matter first, and don't make it public yet. Once you have found out clearly, we can decide what to do next."
This is the only way. Jiang Che had originally planned to simply renovate the other three stores during these few days, so that he could go to the countryside to bring the goods over and open the stores when he had a break. Now it seems that these things have to be postponed.
Wei Xuan said, "No, don't you still have me here? Isn't it just a matter of watching the shop get painted, and then going to the carpenter to order a few shelves? I've seen you do all this before, and I know where to find the master. Just leave it to me, and you just go and check Second Sister's affairs in advance."
Seeing his wife's words so confidently, Jiang Che had no choice but to agree: "You can do it, but if you are too busy, don't try to be stubborn. After all, you have a child."
"I know. I can definitely take good care of your daughter. Don't worry." She is her biological mother. How could she mistreat her child?
Jiang Che smiled and said, "Look what you are thinking. I am just worried about you and afraid that you will be tired. By the way, don't go out tomorrow. The two people I found to look after the store today should come to the door. You can greet them."
"OK."
Knowing that someone would come to her house, Wei Xuan did not go to the store the next morning.
Around nine o'clock, there was a knock on the gate of the house.
Wei Xuan opened the door and saw two women standing at the door, one fat and one thin, both about forty years old.
"You are the one that Jiang Che has asked for help, right? Please come in."
Seeing that both of them were a little reserved, Wei Xuan quickly welcomed them into the house and asked them to sit down.
