Qian Mengping just saw that it was Gong Linglong driving the car, and the three children in the car were her triplets. After watching the car disappear at the end of the road, she asked her son, "Wendong, are you familiar with her?"
"Not familiar, my second uncle arranged for us to have a meal together before."
"Then what did you just tell her about the purchase?"
Qian Mengping had a hunch that he was hiding a lot from her. She glanced at Nini again. She knew this child; she was the daughter of Zheng Chaolin and Song Yan. She asked again, "Why is Song Yan's daughter setting up a stall here with this person? What's the relationship between this person and Song Yan?"
"He is Song Tao's classmate. Song Yan must have something to do, so he should help take care of the child." Cui Wendong didn't ask any more questions.
Qian Mengping stared at Li Chong for several times, then asked the question he hadn't answered, "Why did you ask Gong Linglong to buy the goods?"
"I'm not looking for her to purchase goods, I'm looking for her friend to get the goods, and ask her about the delivery time in advance." After Cui Wendong finished speaking, he sat back on the bench.
Qian Mengping's eyes rolled around, and no one knew what she was thinking. She leaned over to him and said in a low voice, "Wen Dong, your second uncle introduced you to Gong Linglong. I think she's willing to talk to you, so you should seize the opportunity."
Cui Wendong frowned, seeing through her thoughts at a glance, and said impatiently, "Mom, can you please stop having these inappropriate ideas? You know the reason why my second uncle divorced her mother better than I do. How can I have the nerve to try to get close to her? After what you did to her mother back then, it's good enough that she doesn't resent us. Do you think she will treat us as relatives?"
Being scolded like this, Qian Mengping's face turned ugly. She said with a straight face: "No matter what, you are all descendants of the Cui family. You share the same blood."
"Oh, so what if we bleed the same blood?"
"My second uncle and my aunt's blood is closer to my father's, third uncle's, and eldest aunt's. Do they have any kinship to speak of now?"
"Don't even mention being a descendant of the Cui family. I'm not surnamed Cui, I've never eaten a grain of rice from the Cui family, I've never drunk a sip of water from the Cui family, and I have nothing to do with our Cui family. Don't try to claim kinship with them."
Qian Mengping felt a pang of pain in her heart as she said with a sullen face, "You're such a blockhead! You don't even know how to fight for what you have."
"I'm too lazy to tell you."
Cui Wendong didn't want to talk to her anymore. They had different ideas as mother and son, and it was useless to argue more.
He doesn't want to curry favor with others or pursue status or fame. He just wants to set up a stall to make money, save more money, and make other arrangements in the future.
The mother and son spoke in a low voice, but Li Chong heard it all. He glanced at Qian Mengping and felt a little sympathy for Cui Wendong.
Seeing her son ignore her, Qian Mengping moved closer to Li Chong and spoke to him in a friendly manner, "Hey, young man, you're Song Tao's classmate. How do you know Gong Linglong?"
"Song Tao introduced me to him, but I don't know him very well."
Li Chong heard Song Tao talk about Gong Linglong and the Cui family's affairs. He knew that Qian Mengping wanted to find out from him, so he was cautious and on guard.
"You just went to her house for dinner, and you're not familiar with her yet?" Qian Mengping knew that he was on guard against her and felt a little unhappy.
"I benefited from Nini's help." Li Chongcai didn't fall into the trap.
Qian Mengping wanted to ask something else, but Cui Wendong came over to stop her: "Mom, if you have nothing to do, go back. Don't ask questions here and don't affect other people's business."
Qian Mengping turned around and glared at him. She was very dissatisfied with his recent attitude and took her grandson back angrily.
After they walked away, Li Chong sighed: "Cui Wendong, I really sympathize with you."
Cui Wendong was also very annoyed. Since no one was buying anything, he grabbed a lighter and a cigarette, lit it, and puffed away, feeling helpless. "Who told me to be born into a family like this?"
Their family affairs are too complicated, and none of the relatives are easy to deal with. Li Chongguang's scalp tingles when he thinks about this complicated family.
"Li Chong, I've never asked you before, how did you and Gong Linglong know each other?"
When he asked about this, Li Chong told him, "Gong Linglong and I are from the same hometown. She also grew up in our area. She met Brother Lu through a blind date, and Song Tao introduced her to me."
"Did she grow up in your area?"
Cui Wendong had no idea about this and was a little skeptical: "Li Chong, are you mistaken?"
"I'm not mistaken. She really grew up in a remote county town near our hometown."
Seeing that he was completely clueless, Li Chong thought about the past experiences of the mother and daughter and cautiously said nothing more. He also warned him, "Cui Wendong, I didn't lie to you. I'm telling you this because I recognize you. Don't tell your family and don't ask about her affairs."
Seeing his serious expression, Cui Wendong squatted down and frowned: "Okay, I won't ask any more questions about this. But let me ask you something, does my second uncle know about the thing you don't want to talk about?"
"I don't know about that."
Li Chong shook his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "Song Tao probably doesn't know either, but I heard him say that your second uncle gave Gong Linglong a lot of money to compensate her, and even said he wanted to change his will and give her half of the company shares and property."
Cui Wendong knew all this. His second uncle mentioned this to his grandparents when they had a fight last time. Given his guilt towards the mother and daughter of the Gong family, he would definitely give them a lot of assets.
Cui Wendong didn't ask about other things, and he kept what Li Chong said to himself and never mentioned it to anyone else in the family.
In fact, he is also a smart man. He knows that there are some things that he should not inquire about or know, especially the current status of the mother and daughter. He does not try to curry favor with them, keeps a distance, or fantasize about a relationship that should not exist. This way of getting along is actually most beneficial to him.
On Saturday, Cui Wendong and his team went to the warehouse early to pick up the goods. Gong Linglong and her mother and two children were also there. He specially left them 6,000 yuan worth of wool.
It is autumn now, and high-quality goods such as wool are the most popular. They don't need receipts at their stalls, and the quality of the wool is no worse than that of state-owned stores. No matter how much goods are put on the market, they can be sold out.
The goods worth 6,000 yuan were divided equally among Song Tao, Li Chong and the Cui brothers and sisters. Cui Wendong took goods worth 2,000 yuan and Cui Paner took goods worth 1,000 yuan.
Gong Linglong did not take the triplets to set up a stall on the roadside, but dragged a full cart of goods to the compound and set up a stall in the yard in front of her grandparents' house, allowing the elderly comrades in the compound who had less mobility to experience the fun of picking goods.
