Chapter 276. Checking out the shop

Seeing her like that, Aunt Ma turned around and returned inside with a look of contempt.

When Uncle Ma got off work in the evening, Aunt Ma murmured to him: "This old Zhang really don't want skin or face. Xiao Kai is still a child, and they actually have ideas on him."

He was indeed tall, but he was only fifteen years old. In the eyes of Aunt Ma, a fifty-something old lady, he was a kid.

"How do you know that they are aiming for Xiao Kai?" Uncle Ma said.

Have to say, Lin Qing He and her son were also really popular.

Being a college student, which was a valuable asset at this time was one reason. Another was that they both know how to socialize.

When they came over, they both greet with smiles, especially Zhou Kai. Last time, when Uncle Ma came back, he(Kai) happened to bump into him as he was about to leave. Seeing him (Uncle Ma) coming back with a sack of corn, he directly helped him bring it.

At that time, they haven't been acquainted yet. Only after moving it up, did they know they were neighbors.

Therefore, Uncle Ma had a very good impression of Zhou Kai.

"I saw it with my own eyes. The youngest from old Zhang family watched Xiao Kai's back like they had something." Aunt Ma spat, "Her kind? Not worthy at all. When Teacher Lin comes over, I have to tell her. Must get her to be on guard!"

She knew that Zhou Qing Bai will be coming next year or so.

What's more, old Zhang Family got an addition of two more girls now.

Was there any secret in this area? Gossip can spread all at once.

Both of them came back from the countryside. The older one came back with a divorce. Although she had no children, she was pregnant once during the time in the countryside. At that time, she wan't married. If she hadn't made an escape, know to quickly pick out a kind man and not get reported, she would have to instantly got educated. Not a good thing either.

As for the younger one. She heard that when she was in the countryside, she had a lot of matches and had a very good relationship with the community director. A discerning person would know what the relationship was when they saw it. Not a proper one.

Why did she know so much? Was she the only one who went to the countryside? Every household had quotas. There's plenty.

So how can they not know?

An eye must be kept on the two.

Lin Qing He still didn't know about this. Recently, the school held an English speaking competition, There were so many things to do.

When she was finished, it had entered into December.

It was a bit cold at this time. Still, this winter was much warmer than last year.

At this time last year, it was really cold. Like freezing to death

According to the solar calendar, it was December and November on the lunar calendar. The weather was certainly getting colder and colder each day.

Zhou Kai brought a food box over that day. Same old rule. He got chicken soup from his classmate's house and left half of it there.

"Mother, how about turning on our own stove?" Zhou Kai asked.

"Let's talk about it when your father comes. It's just the two of us." Lin Qing He repled while drinking chicken soup.

Zhou Kai didn't persist and said: "I went to the house yesterday and took a look. When my father comes over, mother, you have to keep an eye on him."

"What's wrong?" Lin Qing He hadn't gone over for a long time. She sent her son to check and clean up. She didn't know about old Zhang family.

"It's old Zhang Family that lives next door to us." Zhou Kai answered.

"?" Lin Qing He looked at him.

"I don't know how to explain. Mother, you'll know when you visit Granny Ma in your free time." Zhou Kai said.

Two days ago, he saw the girls from old Zhang family who had returned to the city. Both the older one and the younger one. When they saw him, they greeted him. He didn’t say anything. A nod was sufficient.

The older one had sent a bun to him to eat.

Of course, Zhou Kai won't eat it. Still, Zhou Kai had a feeling that when his father comes, that woman will get close to his father.

The reason for saying this was because Zhou Kai thought how his mother would give lectures in the future and he would be at school. It was only his father who would have nothing to do at home.

Something will easily happen, right?

Lin Qing He glanced at him. So, she especially draped on a scarf and found a time to go over to Aunt Ma. She brought a bag of melon seeds for Aunt Ma.

"Teacher Lin, I haven't seen you for a while." Old Madam Zhang said with a smile.

Lin Qing He nodded in alienation. Then she ignored her, came over, and looked into Aunt Ma's door. Aunt Ma greeted and let her in.

Old Madam Zhang's face was ugly. She snorted coldly, "What is it? Just a teacher. What's there to be proud of!"

Lin Qing He, who entered the house with Aunt Ma, couldn't be bothered with her. She took the melon seeds and chattered away with Aunt Ma.

Only then, Lin Qing He knew how excellent the old Zhang Family was. They actually two daughters like this.

Must admit, there was a slight risk. If her Qing Bai comes and stays at home, how easy it'll be for him to be targeted by the divorcee of the neighboring old Zhang Family?

No need to have doubt about this kind of person. They don't have anything like the lower limit.

So Lin Qing He came to find the library's Uncle Wang. When she came, Zhou Kai was also there. The old and the young were eating buns.

"Mother, you came too late. We finished the steamed buns." Zhou Kai said.

"Always coming over to eat your Uncle Wang's things for nothing. Aren't you ashamed?" Lin Qing He lectured.

"I bought it for Uncle." Zhou Kai said.

"That's more like it." Lin Qing He was pleased.

Uncle Wang laughed: "I'll invite you another day to eat instant-boiled mutton, the most authentic one."

"Kai's father will come next year. Let him be the host." Lin Qing He smiled. Then she asked: "Uncle, do you know a shop in this area. The kind that wants to change hands?"

"What do you want the shop for?" Uncle Wang looked at her and asked.

"Kai's father is coming next year, right? There's no work arrangement for him, so I thought, let him open a shop and watch it." Lin Qing He replied.

The original plan was to let Zhou Qing Bai to go to the school to open a school supplies store. But there were no school supplies to sell this time.

So after contemplating about it, she felt they should still open another shop to do some side business.

Lin Qing He noticed the emergence of self-employed this year. The number wasn't large, but after this year's trial, there will definitely be more self-employed next year.

Lin Qing He was planning to take action!

Uncle Wang knew about the situation in the capital. Upon hearing this, he remarked: "Self-employed people aren't highly looked upon. However, if you're not afraid of being thought of low grade, I can help you ask."

"What's low grade about it? Not stealing or robbing. It's relying on our own hands to feed ourselves." Lin Qing He cheerfully responded.

Uncle Wang nodded, "Then leave it to me."

Lin Qing He knew that shops shouldn't be too difficult to buy at this period of time. However, she never expected that within two days, Uncle Wang would tell Zhou Kai to relay to her to have a look in the evening.

Lin Qing He was in joy. In the evening, she brought a vegetable basket, and then followed her eldest son to find Uncle Wang. Then they came to see this shop together.
