Chapter 412. Taking action
Still, it was the New Year celebration. They received a cold seat at Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai's side. However, with the older generations of Father Zhou and Mother Zhou, they placed more importance on the celebration of the New Year.
Due to this, they were kept for a meal.
Although this meal wasn't all that rare at all, Zhao Jun's face wasn't so stinky as he regained his face from what happened at Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai's place.
However, Zhou Xiao Mei had the same attitude as her fourth sister-in-law.
When she came to find Lin Qing He to take a bath in the bathhouse, she muttered to her fourth sister-in-law: "You haven't seen it. That expression really made me want to kick him out. To the unknown, they would think we wished to worship his stinky feet! "
Just speaking about it had her slightly enraged. It was because Zhao Jun looked down on her Da Lin due to her Da Lin's slight stutter. That was why he ignored her Da Lin.
"If it weren't for Father and Mother giving them some degree of face, don't think about having a bite of rice at home." Zhou Xiao Mei grumbled.
It wasn't like they ate his Zhao Family's rice. What was he looking down for?
People like Wang Yuan, who was young and promising and also the boss of a large garment factory, didn't look down upon her Da Lin. So who did Zhao Jun think he was?
And even when the conditions of her family were average, their bun shop's business was stable now. It wasn't a problem to make a few hundred yuan a month. Even when they were far from being rich, there was no need to butter up to Zhao Jun.
"His kind of person stepped on others as he bolsters himself high. Don't put it in your heart." Lin Qing He said.
"Sheng Mei is pregnant and he isn't concerned about her. How will she live from now on?" Zhou Xiao Mei remarked.
Although she disapproved of Xu Sheng Mei, she was still her eldest sister's daughter. She did hope for the best for her. But from what Zhou Xiao Mei saw, she seems like a former big landlord's maid who served the young master?
She was her biological aunt. So Zhou Xiao Mei felt very uncomfortable when she saw it.
"She chose the path herself. She'll have to keep going even if she walks until her feet are full of blisters. What's more, even though you aren't optimistic about it, she might find it great." Lin Qing He thought otherwise.
She felt Xu Sheng Mei wasn't so fragile. What maid serving the young master was just a retreat to advance. She just didn't know this move would be effective when handling Zhao Jun.
If Xu Sheng Mei can still have the courage to bring Zhao Jun over for New Year greeting from this year on, Lin Qing He will no longer underestimate this niece.
Her thought was really out of the ordinary. Otherwise, she wouldn't really dare come knocking. Was there any embarrassment seen from Xu Sheng Mei? None, she was very calm.
She wanted to use old Zhou family to restrain Zhao family. That way, Zhao Family can see that she wasn't alone. There was old Zhou family behind her.
Lin Qing He was clear about these thoughts.
"Yesterday, I seemed to see Er Ni in a bad mood." Zhou Xiao Mei continued.
During these few days of New Year, Zhou Er Ni lived at the house.
"What's the matter?" Lin Qing He asked.
"I don't know. She didn't say either." Zhou Xiao Mei shook her head.
Lin Qing He didn't say anything. Either way, it was about Wang Yuan's family.
Zhou Er Ni was 20 years old. Was there any necessity for them to say anything to such a grown girl? They should let her solve it by herself. If she can't, this niece will come over and ask her.
Except for Zhao Jun and Xu Sheng Mei, there was nothing else.
During the New Year, the whole family was naturally happy.
As for Zhang Mei Lian from next door, she seemed to be very polite every time they saw her. Lin Qing He didn't care about it. It was just a neighbor. The level of trouble was far less than Xu Sheng Mei.
But Xu Sheng Mei was pregnant after all. In this icy and snowy weather, she would stay in Zhao's house.
Lin Qing He told Ma Cheng Min to keep an eye during his visits to his relatives and friends during the New Year. If there was anyone good, then two or three people will be recruited.
She planned to open another women's clothing store next year because the women's clothing store was really profitable. The profit of the men's clothing store wasn't low. At the most, it can only reach two-thirds of the income of the women's clothing store.
The minimum was only one-third. Which showed that no matter what era it was, women's clothing was the darling of the market.
Men's demand wasn't very high in this area. Especially the men in this era. Most might not change one or two all year-round.
So Lin Qing He wanted to open another women's clothing store, It was a great idea because in the future, there will be a shortage of money. If she didn't open more stores now and make more money, how can it do?
But the shop hadn't been checked yet. It'll have to wait until after the New Year. When th Housing Management Bureau is working there, she'll go ask then.
Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He went to the movies that day. Zhou Xuan and Hu Zi were left at home. As for Gang Zi and Zhou Gui Lai, they took the camera and went to stroll somewhere.
According to Zhou Gui Lai's meaning, it was necessary to use a camera to keep these memories. What's more, the film Wang Yuan bought for him allowed him to splurge.
"I'm going to Grandpa's side. Are you going?" Hu Zi watched the TV for a while before asking.
Zhou Xuan was reading an English book. His current level of English was extremely high due to Lin Qing He's teaching. When he finished reading this, he would send it to his eldest brother. This book was very good. He was a little fascinated by it.
"You go." Zhou Xuan said as he grabbed an apple to eat.
Hu Zi left him be. He took an apple and came out while chewing on it.
When he came downstairs, he saw Zhang Mei Lian rushing after him. Hu Zi swept a glance at her. Although they had exchanged a few words, they weren't familiar with each other. He ignored.
"Hu Zi, I'm going to buy some flour. It's quite heavy. Can you help me?" Zhang Mei Lian bit her lips while looking at him.
"My name is Huang Hu. Call me Huang Hu." Hu Zi said.
It was weird to be called by his nickname by a strange woman, so he corrected her.
Zhang Mei Lian smiled and said, "Huang Hu, right? Nice to meet you. I will introduce myself again. My name is Zhang Mei Lian. I am your neighbor."
Hu Zi nodded and was about to leave. Old Zhang Family had a so-so relationship with his uncle's family. There was nothing to talk about.
"Huang Hu, I need your help." Zhang Mei Lian followed and said.
Hu Zi bluntly replied: "Buy less. I'm going to my grandpa's house. No time."
"My family forgot to buy more last time. It's definitely not easy to buy this time. I have to wait in line. One trip isn't enough. How can I buy less?" Zhang Mei Lian explained. She couldn't help but mentally disdain. I'm giving you such a good opportunity and you don't know to cherish it!
"What's more, our two families are neighbors. Left and right neighbors. Can't you even help me with such a favor?" Zhang Mei Lian kept going.
Hu Zi was still very friendly. He wasn't familiar with Zhang Mei Lian, so he hesitated for a while and nodded.
Zhang Mei Lian was satisfied and beamed: "Thank you. You are such a nice person. Are you helping at your aunt's place now?"
"En." Hu Zi nodded. Everyone in the community knew that. There was nothing to say.
