Although Aunt Hu wanted to use Du Guanghui to deal with Lin Mai, she even wanted to deceive him and get a sum of money from him.
What she wants most now is money, money, money!
She had to pay out money again and again. She even lost the coffin, and her son and daughter-in-law even came out with money to help her pay for it.
Now not only her daughter-in-law, but also her son speaks harshly to her every day. Her life is really sad!
Only by getting a sum of money, preferably a large amount of money, can she change her current situation.
She was bragging to Du Guanghui about her delicious food.
"Have you ever heard of Weimeixuan Steamed Buns? This is a century-old brand. It was very famous in Jiangcheng before liberation."
Speaking of this, she patted her chest proudly: "I am the successor of Weimeixuan Steamed Buns.
I can sell the formula to you, and you only need to pay a buyout fee of one hundred yuan.
I guarantee that with my formula, your business will definitely improve, and you will be able to crush the business of the bitch next door."
Du Guanghui looked disdainful: "I've only heard of Sijimei Soup Dumplings and Wei Meixuan? Sorry, never heard of it!"
The expression on Aunt Hu's face froze, and she said nonchalantly: "Maybe you are young, so you haven't heard of it. If you ask your elders, they must know."
Du Guanghui snorted coldly: "Come on, don't fool me. Your Wei Meixuan steamed buns are really so awesome. Why didn't you continue to make them and instead closed down?"
Aunt Hu smashed her mouth and was speechless.
Lin Mai entered his snack bar and asked Wang Xiaoli: "Is the man talking to the old witch the boss next door?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Wang Xiaoli asked puzzledly.
Lin Mai wrote lightly: "Nothing, just asking casually, I rarely see him."
While the two were talking, Zhou Caiyun came out of the kitchen and said to Lin Mai: "You went out before I finished speaking this morning.
Two days ago, Xiao Tao came here, put down a lot of ready-made work clothes and left."
As Zhou Caiyun spoke, she took Lin Mai to her room and opened a few cardboard boxes in the corner. There were a lot of work clothes neatly placed inside.
Lin Mai picked up a set of work clothes and looked at them. She found that they were in the right shape and well made. She was very satisfied.
Zhou Caiyun opened the cabinet, took out a roll of money and handed it to Lin Mai: "This is what Xiao Tao asked me to give to you. It is said to be the remaining money from buying fabrics."
Lin Mai took the money and felt deeply about her character.
She hadn't paid for the clothes she had bought before and the wages for the work clothes, but she had given her the extra money to buy the fabrics.
At noon, as soon as Fang Zhuoran entered the snack bar, Doudou saw him?
She waved her little hand at him: "Uncle, go upstairs for dinner quickly. Mom has burned your favorite lion heads and Dongpo elbows."
When talking about delicious food, tears of dissatisfaction almost flowed from the corners of Xiao Mengdou's mouth.
Fang Zhuoran picked up Doudou and went upstairs.
Lin Mai had already laid out the food. When he saw them, he asked him to sit down and eat quickly.
Fang Zhuoran asked seriously: "I heard from your employees that you returned to Jiangcheng at midnight last night?"
When he came to the store for breakfast in the morning, the clerk told him that Lin Mai came home at midnight yesterday. He was a little angry at that time. The child didn't care about his own safety.
Only then did Lin Mai realize that he was a little unhappy.
She asked in confusion: "Yes, what's wrong?"
"You came back so late, why didn't you call me in advance so that I could pick you up?"
I'm just unhappy about this little thing.
Lin Mai felt sweet and warm in her heart: "The train station is only a few stops away from my home, so why bother picking me up?"
"What's going on a few stops away? It's the middle of the night, and it's also very dangerous!"
Fang Zhuoran said sternly, "In the future, whenever you return to Jiangcheng after eight o'clock in the evening, you must call me in advance so that I can pick up the car, otherwise I will spank you!"
Lin Mai thought about the famous scene where he spanked her. It was too eye-catching, so she nodded in agreement.
After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Fang Zhuoran asked Lin Mai about his situation in Guangzhou.
Lin Mai told him everything in detail.
She scooped up some tofu soup and rice: "That acquaintance of yours, your sister Ke Ziqing, is so kind. Without her, I wouldn't have been able to get so many good products this time. I'll thank her later."
Fang Zhuoran ate his meal elegantly: "Is it easy for you to get rid of so many goods? Do you want me to help you find a channel?"
Lin Mai shook his head and said: "No, I have a partner. I am responsible for purchasing and he is responsible for sales."
Fang Zhuoran nodded: "That's good."
Lin Mai rolled his eyes: "My partner has helped me many times and saved my life. As my boyfriend, should you treat him to a meal?"
If Chen Feng has an undue desire for her, and Fang Zhuoran invites him to dinner, it will let him know that he has a boyfriend, and that his boyfriend is very good, so he will definitely accept his thoughts.
In this way, she will no longer be troubled and Chen Feng will not be embarrassed.
If he had no wrong thoughts about her, it would not be rude for Fang Zhuoran to thank him and invite him to dinner.
Lin Mai felt that he was really too witty.
Fang Zhuoran nodded: "You make an appointment with him on the time and address."
…
After lunch and a nap, Lin Mai went to find Tao Zhiyun.
They gave her all the money they had left to buy the fabrics. It would be outrageous for her not to give her the money they should pay her.
Although she didn't know Tao Zhiyun's address, she knew her workplace, so she went directly to her workplace.
The Lin family inquired all the way to the design department of the state-owned garment factory where Tao Zhiyun worked, and saw three designers sitting in the office.
Everyone was doing nothing, holding tea, reading newspapers, and trying very hard to pass the time.
Lin Mai glanced over and saw that Tao Zhiyun was not in the office.
She lightly knocked on the office door a few times and asked politely: "Excuse me, does Tao Zhiyun work in this office?"
The three people in the office all looked at her and nodded: "Yes."
"What about her?"
One of them replied: "She called in sick and didn't come to work for several days."
Lin Mai asked worriedly: "Is it serious?"
The expressions of several people in the office became playful: "We don't know about this. We only know that she took a month's sick leave."
Lin Mai was filled with doubts: "Then do you know her home address?"
Someone replied: "I know, it's in the Tuanjie House in Room 201, Building 3, of our factory dormitory community."
Lin Mai thanked him and bought a can of cream, a few packets of brown sugar, and a few packets of snacks from a small state-owned store near the clothing factory before going to Tao Zhiyun's house.
Since Tao Zhiyun's colleagues said she had taken sick leave, she had to bring something to see the patient.
Along the way, Lin Mai was thinking, what kind of disease does Tao Zhiyun have, and he needs to take a month's leave?
If she was suddenly seriously ill, how could she be given the ready-made work clothes two days ago?
Even if the sick body was sent away by force, a careful person like Zhou Caiyun should be able to see it, but why didn't she tell herself?
It can be seen that being sick is probably an excuse.
Then why did Tao Zhiyun use illness as an excuse to take such a long leave? It must not be to make clothes for himself.
Lin Maidong came to Room 201, Building 3, Garment Factory Community, and knocked on the door of the Tuanjie House where Tao Zhiyun lived with others.
Tao Zhiyun's neighbor is an older sister who looks kind-hearted.
The eldest sister said: "Look for Tao Zhiyun. She is divorcing her husband and is taking Qiqi back to her parents' home."
When she said this, the eldest sister had a look of contempt on her face, which made Lin Mai very uncomfortable.
She asked: "Then do you know the address of Sister Tao's mother's home?"
"I know." The neighbor's eldest sister told her the address of Tao Zhiyun's parents' home.
Lin Mai thanked him and turned to leave.
The neighbor's eldest sister called her from behind: "Are you and Xiao Tao good friends?"
Lin Mai stopped and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
The neighbor's eldest sister stared at her and said nothing for a long time.
