Chapter 107 Making money
Qin Shufen followed Wu Xiangyu all the way to the family compound of the Building Materials Bureau and watched Wu Xiangyu walk in. Then she walked out from behind the big tree where she was hiding, stopped a woman who was about to enter the compound and asked with a smile:
"Comrade, does the woman who came in just now live here with you? What's her name?"
The woman stopped by Qin Shufen looked at her warily:
"What do you do?"
"That's right. I think she looks a lot like one of my cousins, but I'm just a little unsure because I'm afraid that she might offend others if she rushes over to recognize her."
"Oh, that's it!"
The woman nodded and looked Qin Shufen up and down. She looked well dressed and had a fashionable perm, so she was probably not a bad person.
Qin Shufen continued to ask with a polite smile:
"Can you tell me her name so I can make sure she is my cousin? To be honest, we have been separated for twenty years, and my mother always talks about her. You also know that the elderly miss their relatives."
"It's like this. People get nostalgic for the past as they get older. The one who came in just now is our deputy director Sun's wife named Wu Xiangyu. Is she your cousin?"
"Oh, that's not right. My cousin's name is Zhou Xiulan. I admit my mistake. I admit my mistake. Thank you, comrade!"
Qin Shufen got the answer she wanted and thanked the lesbian with a smile.
After leaving the family building of the Building Materials Bureau, the smile on Qin Shufen's face disappeared and she smiled mockingly:
"You thought there was such a big backstage, and this is it?"
After confirming the details of Wu Xiangyu, Qin Shufen did not take her seriously and went back to find someone to warn the man named Sun to take care of his wife.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Qin Shufen was afraid that Zuo Jingyan would not be able to enter the house, so she hurried back. When passing by a grocery store, she went in and saw newly arrived river fish, so she went in and bought two.
Qin Shufen came out of the grocery store with a smile while carrying the river fish. She was thinking about two fishes, one stewed in soup, one braised in braise, and some rice to give her goddaughter a delicious meal.
Zuo Jingyan left Wang Yan. The effect of her makeup was good. Wang Yan readily bought a set of cosmetics. Adding the money for a perm, Zuo Jingyan had an extra sixty-five yuan in her hand.
She had seventy-five yuan in her hand before, and adding the sixty-five to it was one hundred and forty yuan, plus the eight hundred yuan she borrowed from Lu Haoting, excluding the seven hundred and twenty yuan for the final payment of the house.
There are still eighty yuan left, which adds up to a total of two hundred and twenty yuan.
It sounds like a lot of money, but Zuo Jingyan wants to renovate the house. She needs to change the doors and windows. She also needs to buy chairs, mirrors and some necessary supplies for the barber shop. She also needs to make a plaque and decorate the facade. In total, this amount of money is quite a lot.
It's not that sufficient.
She just hoped that the afternoon work would go as smoothly as in the morning, so that she could still have at least fifty yuan. After finishing the afternoon work, she would go to the homes of the four clients to apologize one by one to see how many of them she could get back.
client?
When Zuo Jingyan returned to her godmother's house, she smelled the aroma of stewed fish as soon as she entered the door. She sniffed like a greedy little cat and walked into the house:
"Godmother, what are you cooking for? It smells so good!"
"I'm back, wash your hands and get ready to eat."
Qin Shufen wore an apron around her waist and was loading the fish from the pot to the plate. When she saw her goddaughter coming back, she grinned from ear to ear with a kind smile on her face. She could not see the Biao she had been when she was fighting with Wu Xiangyu.
fierce.
"Okay." Zuo Jingyan agreed delicately, put the tool box on the ground, and went to wash her hands in the washbasin.
"Oh, it smells so good. Wife, what are you cooking that tastes delicious?"
"Your godfather is back."
Qin Shufen smiled and said to Zuo Jingyan, then shouted out the door: "Old Wu, the goddaughter is here."
"Really? That's great."
Wu Changshan had no airs at all and greeted Zuo Jingyan with a smile as soon as he entered the room.
"Xiao Zuo, right? I always hear your godmother talking about you, and I even asked her to bring you for a meal with the whole family!"
Zuo Jingyan has been here several times before but has never seen her godmother's husband. Today is the first time. She found that good people look for good people. Her godfather looks kind and amiable, with two thick black eyebrows.
, a pair of bright eyes and a hearty smile,
Without waiting for her godmother to introduce her, Zuo Jingyan took the initiative and shouted:
"Godfather."
"Hey, eh, okay, okay."
Wu Changshan was even more happy. He, Old Wu, finally had a daughter. This girl was clean and delicate, just like the daughter he and his wife had imagined.
"It's time to wash up and eat. I've stewed fish and fish soup. I'm happy to allow you to have a drink today."
Qin Shufen held the fish in her hand and told her wife with a smile that she was strict and did not allow Lao Wu to drink because his heart was not good.
"Xiao Zuo, did you see? My godfather used your light to get a sip of wine."
Wu Changshan and Zuo Jingyan started joking. Although they met for the first time, they didn't feel alienated at all as a family, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.
During the meal, Qin Shufen kept picking up the fish for Zuo Jingyan, and carefully picked out the fish bones. Zuo Jingyan was so touched, and God made up for her missing motherly and fatherly love.
Qin Shufen poured her husband a glass of white wine, but did not hand it to him immediately. Instead, she asked him seriously:
"Old Wu, someone is bullying your goddaughter, do you care about this?"
Wu Changshan looked at the glass of wine and was really worried that his wife would spill his wine when she got excited, so he quickly asked:
"Who is it? Who is bullying our daughter?"
Qin Shufen became angry when she said it:
"That woman's name is Wu Xiangyu, and her husband is Deputy Director Sun of the Building Materials Bureau. Find someone to talk to him and ask him to take good care of that broken wife and stop letting her out to bully others."
"That old grandson?"
Wu Changshan raised his eyebrows. He often went to the city for meetings. He generally knew the leaders of major units. This man named Sun was not a good person. This man had the rights of the brick factory and cement factory in his own hands. It was rumored outside.
If you want to buy bricks and cement, just go to him, and if you give him money, he will write a note.
"Yes, his wife is no one. She was beaten by me today. If she dares to bully our daughter again, I will beat her again."
Qin Shufen finally got excited and spilled half of the glass of wine, which made Wu Changshan feel very distressed:
"Don't get excited, don't get excited. Didn't we beat her up? It's not like you were beaten yourself, so why are you angry?"
Zuo Jingyan was almost bursting with joy. No wonder she didn't say that she didn't belong to the same family. This sounded so familiar. Her godmother had said it before, as long as we don't suffer, it will be fine if others suffer.
After a warm lunch, Zuo Jingyan was urged by her godmother to take a nap in the hut:
"You take a nap and rest your mind."
Zuo Jingyan really wants to sing loudly: A mother’s child is a treasure
