Chapter 255 Breaking the Bottom Line
There are two chicken wings in the chicken soup that Lu Jiaxin likes. Because the oil had been skimmed off and it wasn't greasy, her stomach growled even more when she smelled the fragrance.
Lu Jiaxin and Gu Wenfeng said, "Brother Feng, go scoop up a bowl of chicken soup to cushion your stomach."
Gu Wenfeng hurriedly refused, saying that he was not hungry.
Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "I don't know whether you are hungry or not. You're welcome. Eat quickly. After you eat, go home and see your wife and children."
Seeing Gu Wenfeng's hesitation, she said: "Don't worry, I won't go out today. My second brother and eldest brother will come over later. With such a big family here, everything will be fine."
Under the emperor's feet, except for special reasons, the security in Sijiu City has always been very good. It's not far from the police station, so there's no need to worry.
Gu Wenfeng really missed his wife and children. He nodded and said, "I'll come over tomorrow morning."
Lu Jiaxin wanted to give him two days off, but Xiaoxiao had to go back to his hometown for something, so he didn't feel at ease letting him go out alone: "I don't get up that early, I just need to be there at nine."
"good."
Gu Wenfeng ate a bowl of chicken and went out carrying the things he bought for his wife and children. I haven’t seen you in over half a year, and I really miss you.
Lu Jiaxin ate the chicken wings in small bites.
Xiaoqiu sat across from her and said, "Sister-in-law, we will deposit one year's rent and the income from the clothing store into your bankbook. I will leave the account book in the room until you have time to pick it up."
Lu Jiaxin nodded and asked, "How is the business of the clothing store?"
Xiaoqiu said with a smile on her face: "The clothes in our store are all purchased by Uncle Wu from Yangcheng. They are of good quality and fashionable. Many people come back to buy them. From Monday to Saturday, they can be sold for three to four hundred yuan a day. It can sell for seven to eight hundred or even over one thousand a day."
Now the profit from clothing is very good, which is about 5,000 yuan based on half of the turnover. However, Xiaoqiu only holds 30% of the shares, which is equivalent to getting one thousand and fifty dollars a month.
Lu Jiaxin felt that the profit was pretty good, and she said: "Xiaoqiu, I haven't taken care of the store this year, and I don't plan to take a shareholding. You can run this store yourself from now on!"
Xiaoqiu can now stand alone, but she doesn't want to: "How can this be done? Sister-in-law, you started this clothing store in the first place, who would I be if I took over."
Lu Jiaxin said: "If you don't want it, I will take it out. I am coming back this time to tell my mother the good news. I will not come back again if there is nothing important."
Xiaoqiu sighed and asked, "Aren't you coming back during the Qingming Festival?"
Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "I will find a geomantic treasure land in Hong Kong City, and my mother's grave will be moved there once arrangements are made."
The graves have been moved, and the Qingming Festival will naturally not come back.
When Xiaoqiu heard this, she became anxious and said, "If the third uncle's grave is moved, what will the third uncle do?"
Lu Jiaxin smiled, but she just smiled without explaining. So what if Lu Hongjun disagrees? She was the only child, and no one could stop her from moving her grave.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xiaoqiu was a little panicked. The third aunt's grave was moved away. If my sister-in-law doesn't come back, then she won't be able to see her again in the future.
Lu Jiaxin changed the subject: "How are Zaohua's grades? The college entrance examination is coming next year. Is she sure she can get into college?"
Speaking of Zaohua, Xiaoqiu was envious and admired at the same time: "I will definitely pass the exam. She ranked first in the county in the final exam last year. But she said that thanks to the recorder and tapes you sent her, her English improved significantly."
English suddenly became one of the major subjects, and rural children were particularly disadvantaged because they had never been exposed to it before. And many urban high schools don't have good English teachers, let alone the counties. With only English as a subject, children from rural areas would be far behind.
Xiaoqiu said: "Sister-in-law, Zaohua's English has improved very quickly. After the English teacher knew the reason, he asked for her permission to read English for half an hour every morning for the students to follow."
"As long as it doesn't affect her."
Xiaoqiu shook her head and said it would not affect her: "Zaohua said that as long as her grades are improved, her class teacher said she can apply to a university in Sijiucheng."
Speaking of this, she remembered something: "Sister-in-law, what major are you studying? Zaohua asked me to ask. Then she will study the same major as you."
"I applied for the finance major. My major may not be suitable for her. You let her apply for the major according to her own preferences. If she doesn't understand, just ask the teacher. Don't follow blindly."
Xiaoqiu said that she would bring these words to her, but she hesitated and told her the true situation of Zaohua: "Sister-in-law, Zaohua had a falling out with her mother, and she is no longer going home."
"Her mother is still forcing her to get married?"
Xiaoqiu said incomprehensibly: "The family saw that Zaohua's grades were so good, so they found a job for Zaohua's eldest brother Youliang. After working for three months, the other party said that if Zaohua married their son, not only would They will let Youliang become a regular worker and give her a bride price of 600 yuan. If she doesn’t marry, she will let Youliang go home and continue farming. "
"Then what?"
Xiaoqiu said angrily: "When Zaohua came home, her mother put medicine in the food, and then let the fool come into the room to make raw rice and cooked rice. It was also God's blessing. I went to my grandma's house to quarrel with his cousin in Mancang. He got home because he came back in time to save Zaohua.”
Lu Jiaxin lowered her head and said nothing. In Zaohuaniang's heart, her son is a treasure and her daughter is just a piece of goods that can be bought and sold.
Xiaoqiu said: "Mancang was worried that her mother would not give up and would find a fool, so she asked her grandma for help. After my grandma found out, she asked my second sister-in-law to carry Zaohua home. At that time, Zaohua was still unconscious and she remained unconscious until the second day. Genius wakes up.”
If the matter is done, you have to get married even if you don't want to, otherwise your saliva will drown you. Zaohua almost fell into an irretrievable situation.
Lu Jiaxin asked: "Didn't the idiot's family get punished?"
Xiaoqiu sighed and said: "Grandpa said to call the police, but grandma stopped him. She said that if this matter gets out, everyone will look at Zaohua with strange eyes, and she can't stay in school."
"Is it over?"
Xiaoqiu shook her head and said: "No. Zaohua went to the idiot's grandfather and asked them to make her a regular employee within a week. If they didn't agree, she would report the case to the police and say that the idiot raped her. Rape a woman to eat peanuts, not only that, but also implicate the idiot's grandfather."
"That family Seeing that Zaohua was willing to give it her all, she agreed to it. After this was done, Zaohua told Mugensao that she had already repaid Qingbai with half her life, and she didn't owe her anything in the future. "
"Aunt, Zaohua said she wanted to take the entrance exam for Sijiucheng, and she will come after the college entrance exam next year. No matter what she does, she can always support herself."
Lu Jiaxin felt that this girl was quite strong, and was willing to help her again: "The study intensity in the third year of high school is high, and you need to strengthen your nutrition or your body can't bear it. Give her 500 yuan each semester for the last two semesters."
After the college entrance exam, she will not care about it. With this girl's personality, she can live well.
