As soon as Cheng Xue went upstairs, she saw Lian's excessive behavior. Before her brain could react, her body rushed forward.
He reached out and hugged her slender waist from behind, dragging her back.
"Lian Yuying, are you crazy! Sister Xuan's daughter is less than one year old, and you are willing to leave her without a mother? Your mother's family is not sensible, do you want to follow in the same footsteps and cause trouble for your daughter? Ah——"
This last roar was so sudden that many of the workers rushing to work on the second floor were frightened. In fact, they felt that there was something wrong when Lian came here alone today, but they were busy working and didn't pay attention.
, I forgot. What is going on now? It sounds like you are seeking death? Emma, if you really want to seek death in the store, can this store still be open?
Several workers with quick reactions immediately turned to look at the foreman, who also "kick, kick, kick..." took a few steps upstairs, saw someone crying in the second boss's arms, and then carefully turned back.
"How's it going, Fifth Brother? Is everything okay upstairs?"
"It's okay. I've already cried. It's not a big problem."
Ji Wu said this, but his eyes kept blinking, signaling everyone to hurry up.
After buying the pastries, Shuangxi hurried back and saw Yun Yan coming out of the back door of the shop a long way away. He was not in a hurry and deliberately slowed down his pace, waiting for the person to go far away before speeding up again. It looked like he was heading towards Qing'an Street, so he should
It’s time to return to Zhou Mansion.
It’s strange, she was the one watching here today, why did she leave again?
I ran back with doubts, and as soon as I reached the second floor, I was stopped by the foreman Ji Wu.
"Brother Shuangxi, we are going to work harder these two days. Can we ask someone to deliver more food in the evening? In the middle of the night, we will go to the kitchen to light a hot meal."
"...Ah, okay." Shuangxi felt puzzled, but he had no reason to refuse when people took the initiative to mention hurrying up.
After going up two or three steps, he stopped, turned around and said again:
"You can rush the work, but don't be too tired. If I find that you are not in good condition when I come here tomorrow, then you can't rush the work. We are in a hurry, but we also want you to be safe and to rush the work without any accidents. This shop has to do business.
, you must not make any small bumps or damage the feng shui, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, brother, we saved this and won't cause you any trouble." Ji Wu agreed.
The content of the conversation between the two was overheard by several masters working on the side. They all looked at each other and pouted. Are you still worried about their little bump? There was almost a murder here just now! They rushed to work because they were afraid that something would happen and they would not be able to get their wages. Naturally, Shuangxi didn't know what had just happened here. When he was approaching the third floor, he heard a small whimper and his brows instantly furrowed.
What's the situation? Why is Mrs. Zhou crying?
After climbing the stairs in three steps and two steps at a time, I saw Bai Guo standing aside, Madam's back facing the direction of the stairs, and Madam Zhou was nowhere to be seen.
Judging from the situation, he should be crying in Madam's arms.
In this way, he did not move forward, but waved to Ging Guo, preparing to hand the snack box to her. But when the little girl walked forward, he always felt that something was wrong.
Shuangxi did not let go, but asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"What's going on? What happened just now?"
Ging Guo retracted his hand, changed from his usual timid appearance, and answered in the same low voice——
"It should be that when the Lian and He families got married, Mrs. Zhou was disappointed with her natal family, so she got into trouble."
After saying that, he took the snack box with his hands and put it back on the table.
Ever since she saw the Lian family looking for life and death, she had completely changed her mind. She didn't understand why her sister left before, but today she figured it out. Sister Bai Shao must follow the eldest daughter, and Bai Zhi will also follow the second daughter. Her sister went to the east of the city again.
, she is the only one the madam can use.
Although her body is ruined and she has no future, as long as she concentrates on her work and saves money, when her sister gets married and has children in the future, it will be the same for her as an aunt to love her nephew or niece as her own child.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard from behind——
"I have met Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou"
Ginguo turned his head when he heard the sound and hurriedly knelt down to salute.
"Greetings to Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou."
Cheng Xue did not move, but gently stroked Lian's back and spoke slowly:
"Yuying has made a choice and cannot regret it. Zhou Fei is fighting for you two in the palace, and Sister Xuan is waiting for you at home. You have already started planning for them, how can you do something stupid? Fortunately, I turned around and came here today.
Well, if you don’t come and a murder occurs in such a big stall, what do you want me to do with your sister-in-law? Let’s talk about the most practical question, how can this shop be opened?”
Lian's sobs paused for a moment, and then she cried even louder.
Zhou Fang, who was standing at the top of the stairs, heard this and rushed forward to stop him. If he didn't say relief, how could he add fuel to the fire? If something happened to his younger siblings, how would he explain it to his younger brother? He hadn't even left yet.
When he stepped forward, he was grabbed by his wife.
He looked at the person next to him with a puzzled expression, but he cooperated and did not move any further.
Cheng Xue, who seemed to be fine, allowed Lian to cry until her crying voice subsided before continuing:
"Let's imagine what you just did is successful. What will happen to your family next? First of all, Sister Xuan's life is over. She will have to bear the reputation of a 'mother-in-law' and basically can't find a good family. Shabu Chuan
The house will definitely not be opened, and your sister-in-law’s good dowry shop will definitely not be rented out.
When the time comes, Zhou Fei will use your dowry to help your sister-in-law pay for the loss of the shop. The remaining dowry will be settled and sealed, and will be used as a dowry when Sister Xuan grows up. It is not clear who she will marry, but Zhou Fei will definitely marry her.
The relationship will be renewed in three years. If you find a kind-hearted stepmother, it will be fine, but if you find a bad-hearted stepmother, Sister Xuan will be miserable."
When Lian heard this, she looked up, looked at her in disbelief, and asked:
"Sister-in-law, if I really left just now, would you leave Sister Xuan alone?"
Cheng Xue looked at her as if she were a fool, sneered and shook her head.
"How can I care? No matter how good my relationship with you is, Sister Xuan has a biological father, how can I, an outsider, interfere in the marriage of the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family? You think the Zhou family is in Wanghe Village, what am I saying? Even if it is
Wanghe Village, I am just giving you a suggestion. It is impossible to interfere in other people's family affairs. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"
"I...I..."
"Let's break up. Before the shop opens, I'll let your sister-in-law rent it out at a higher price after the decoration is finished..."
"No, we can't break up. I've figured it out. I won't seek death anymore. I don't dare anymore." Lian couldn't help shaking her head.
It's a pity that Cheng Xue doesn't believe a word of it!
At first she thought that Mrs. Lian did not bring her two mothers-in-law for convenience. But now she understood that this person simply didn’t want to live, so she didn’t take them with her. If she didn’t cure her problem completely this time, she would definitely be in trouble in the future.
Continuously.
Bai, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, resisted the impulse and stood still, fearing to disturb them...
