Chapter 23

"No, ahem, I want her to be my granddaughter."

Zhang Qian immediately picked up a crabapple. The color was wrong and it didn't feel crystal clear. When she ate it in her mouth, the taste was also wrong. It was far worse than in her memory.

“So delicious!”

He couldn't distinguish the taste, he only felt it was sweet, which was because he had eaten too little refined grains.

"Can this be considered delicious? It's far worse than what my grandfather used to sell. The business of this store will not be good."

Zhang Qian was suddenly worried about how many more months she could collect her rent.

In the afternoon, they wanted to go back to the courtyard to clean up the house, so they went back.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Zhang Qian was going to ask Teacher Liao about growing flowers and plants so that she could decorate the front of her house.

"Zhang Qian, I heard that Xue Ling is getting married tomorrow. There will be a banquet next weekend. Have you invited me to your house?"

Teacher Liao waved the flowers and asked casually.

Zhang Qian was stunned for a moment, then said: "Trying to testify tomorrow? So soon?"

"It's not that good. Just go on a blind date and feel it's appropriate!" Liao Hongbing pushed up the frame of his glasses.

"We have nothing to do with the Xue family's affairs. By the way, Teacher Liao, where did you get these flowers and plants? How do you grow them?"

Zhang Qian thought of business. Even though it was winter, there were still potted plants that could be planted.

"I searched for these outside without spending any money. By the way, the Xue family is having a wedding treat, how do you go along with it?"

Teacher Liao is worried about money. Her children are still young, so the money goes out and she doesn’t know how many years it will take to get it back. It’s a loss.

"You also know that only one person in my family works. My family is poor, so I just give him one yuan and that's enough."

Zhang Qian took a fancy to a pot of green plants, which already had flowers and buds. It looked really good.

"Well, you didn't spend any money on these flowers and plants anyway. Lend me a pot to study first, and I'll pay you back later."

She picked up the potted plant and ran away, but Teacher Liao didn't even react.

"No, bring it back to me. It's my best potted plant, and I'm going to give it to the principal during the Chinese New Year."

Liao Hongbing chased after him, but he couldn't outrun Zhang Qian, and he was worried about losing face, so he had to stop with a miserable look on his face.

"This Akane's character is so bad that everyone will take advantage of her!"

Teacher Liao was furious, but she didn't dare to continue chasing, for fear that the remaining potted plants would be taken away by her.

Zhang Qian ran to the middle courtyard and slowed down when she saw that no one was chasing her.

"Zhang Qian, where did your potted plant come from? Why is it exactly the same as the pot at my house?"

"Good morning, Aunt Liao, these flowers were just given to me by Teacher Liao."

Zhang Qian is holding a flower pot. This free thing is great.

Aunt Liao couldn't believe it. Who was his old man Liao? How could she know who he was? Can he deliver things out?

"No, that potted plant is the life of my old man Liao. It is usually not allowed to be touched. I have to go back and ask."

Although Aunt Liao didn't believe it, she didn't say much and hurriedly went home to take a look.

"You can't be like this as a human being!"

She quickly ran to the front yard and took a look, and sure enough, the best potted plant in the house was gone, and Lao Liao was sitting there glumly.

"Old Liao, aren't you the best at scheming? Why did you get involved? It was Zhang Qian who stole the potted plant. We can't just let it go. Let's hold a hospital-wide meeting and go to the street to sue her."

Aunt Liao was drooling. She only felt pain when it hurt herself.

Teacher Liao sighed: "Forget it, she took it away in front of me, so it can't be counted as stealing. This time it was my fault. Next time I will use her fishing rod."

"Old Liao, you have to find a way to cure her."

Aunt Liao had a premonition that there would be no peace in this courtyard in the future.

"What can I cure? She doesn't go to work now and just hangs around all day. She is just like a devil. Who dares to mess with her?"



"Xiao Qian, why did you come back with a pot of flowers and plants?"

Zhou Jianguo was preparing to go to the cellar to get cabbage and make chicken soup in the evening.

"Teacher Liao just gave it to me. Do you think you can put it here to suit the occasion?"

Zhang Qian put the potted plants at the door, but they were still a bit monotonous. She would buy a few more pots later.

Zhou Jianguo was stunned for a moment. Last time he gave away shoes, this time he gave away a landscape pot. How popular is his family in the courtyard?

"Okay, then you stay busy while I go to the cellar to get some cabbage."

"Cellar? Come on, I'll go with you."

"It doesn't take two people to get a cabbage."

In the blink of an eye, on the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Qian saw Xue Ling taking Wei Tiange back to the courtyard.

The man had brought all his luggage, because the two of them could live in Xue's house after getting their marriage certificate. As for the banquet, it was just to add to the sense of ceremony.

"Zhang Qian, I also have a man."

"Congratulations, happy wedding."

Xue Ling pulled Wei Tiange back home quickly and said, "Tiange, Zhang Qian is not a simple woman. You have to be careful in the future and stay out of her way."

"Okay!" Wei Tiange said softly.



The next day.

"Hey, why are you all here in the backyard?"

Zhang Qian parked her bicycle and saw the aunts. Is this a meeting?

"You came back just in time. You will be so disrespectful tomorrow."

When Teacher Liao saw Zhang Qian coming back from the courtyard, he immediately grabbed her and asked for advice.

It's Saturday today, and there will be a banquet tomorrow. We have notified you in advance.

"We've invited all the residents in our courtyard. There are about a hundred people. Can we arrange food and drink?"

While talking, Liao Hongbing saw the potted plant in front of Zhang Qian's house and wanted to take it back, but he was worried about Zhang Qian's revenge. The more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable he became.

"All invited?"

It has been a long time since there has been a happy event here, so it would be nice to liven it up a bit, but this is going too far. It’s such a waste of money.

"Everyone has been invited. More than 20 households have been invited. Not one of them has escaped. We are worrying about the gifts. Don't send money, and we won't even be able to eat."

Aunt Jiang lives next door to her house, so she is on the opposite side of the Xue family.

"That makes sense! Everyone in the courtyard is invited, and at least ten tables have to be prepared. The middle courtyard can accommodate them.

Have the Xue family started preparing the banquet? I think we have to borrow the dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs from each family."

Zhang Qian is considered experienced, having served wine at home before.

"What are you preparing, but there is no movement. I asked Lao Liang, but I didn't ask Lao Liang to help with the cooking."

Liao Hongbing was very worried. His salary was low and he had to support a family of six, so his life was very tight.

If I could get a meal with the gift, I would accept it, but this feels like a loss.

Aunt Liao hurriedly said: "Zhang Qian, we aunts usually don't offend you. How about you give me an idea? Come, sit down and talk."

"You have experience in this matter. You have collected my Lao Liao's potted plants, so you need help."

Pull the person over and give up his seat.

Well, Zhang Qian was sitting among a group of aunts. Looking around, she felt like she had become the aunt of the street office.

"Let me think about it! This is obviously an attempt to gain some advantage, uh, to take advantage of everyone.

As for me, I’m not worried. I’ve already sent my blessings in advance, so I won’t follow the ceremony.”

Hearing this, all the aunts wanted to scold you. You can do immoral things, but they want to lose face!

Everyone discussed for a while, but with no result, they all went home.
