Chapter 604. Put on the spot

"Mom, isn't the small workshop doing well. Why close it?" Zhou Gui Lai came back to ask his mom when he heard the news.

"Keep it as a warehouse. There will be a few tea shops opening next year. Just lack a warehouse." Lin Qing He told.

"You're going to open a lot of tea shops?" Zhou Gui Lai uttered.

"We'll see next year." Lin Qing He replied. The tea business was still very good. And the goods got long shelf life. So she planned to expand the tea business.

Zhou Gui Lai didn't say anything.

Zhou Xuan carried his sister out and spoke, "Mom, do you think Mi Mi is hungry?"

"What hungry? She must had pooped." Lin Qing He instructed: "Go clean her up before you brign her out."

"Second Brother, do you know how to? If you don't, let me." Zhou Gui Lai said.

"Go fetch hot water." Zhou Xuan waved his hand. He had seen his dad clean her up. What was so hard?

The two brothers worked together to help their sister change the diaper. Zhou Gui Lai commented, "Such a little thing actually pooped so much!"

"If you eat more, you will poop more. You used to poop more than her. Hurry up and wash." Lin Qing He responded.

Dirty diapers must be cleaned before they can be washed in the washing machine. Otherwise, they don't want the washing machine anymore, right?

Zhou Gui Lai did it without complaint and swiftly washed it. Although it was disgusting, he wasn't against it.

No matter how disgusting it was, that was his little sister.

Old Zhang Family from next door saw him washing the dirty diapers. They knew Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He had come back. Don't need to ask to know that they had given birth.

When old Madam Zhang passed by, she didn't give Zhou Gui Lai any good expression. Zhou Gui Lai ignored this little old lady.

They didn't dare to make irresponsible remarks before. Now even more so. Zhang Mei Lian had some money before. But after Xu Sheng Qiang's incident, their vitality was greatly injured.

How could they possibly dare to provoke old Zhou Family now?

Zhang Mei Lian brought back the living expenses. Although she lost a lot of money last time, she thought it through. What was gone was gone.

However, since it was the end of the year, the clothing store business was still very good. Got to buy new clothes for the New Year. So handle right now first.

She gave 30 yuan and a piece of meat.

Naturally, her sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang was full of pretty words, "It is all thanks to your help toward the family, Youngest Sister. If not, the days will be very difficult. Your brother is only paid fifty yuan a month, which is really low. Relying on him alone, the whole family will have to drink northwest wind."

Zhang Mei Lian felt a little proud and said, "Telling Eldest Brother to come out and do it alone as early as possible. What can you do with fifty yuan a month? Go to my shop to get the goods and set up a stall. There is always seventy to eighty yuan a month."

Mrs. Zhang wasn't very pleased. What was the point of setting up a stall? How shameful was it? She didn't have the face to talk about it when she went back to maternal home.

"If it's a shop, it would be better," responded Mrs. Zhang.

"You have to have a good location to open a shop. It's not that easy to find. Otherwise, there is no business at all. Besides, it costs a lot to open a shop. You have money?" Zhang Mei Lian explained.

"Our family don't have much money. But don't we have you, Youngest Sister?" Mrs. Zhang looked at her.

"Sister-in-law, don't count on me. Last time Sheng Qiang compensated three thousand yuan, I still feel the pain. Our money is with him. I also want to borrow money to buy a shop! "Zhang Mei Lian rolled her eyes.

She can really dare to open her mouth. Want to borrow money from her to open a shop?

Mrs. Zhang felt dissatisfied on the inside, but she didn't dare to say anything now. After all, Zhang Mei Lian was rich and if she quarreled with her, she won't bring things home.

"The couple next door came back with their baby." Mrs. Zhang told.

"When did they return?" Zhang Mei Lian paused before asking.

"Just these few days." Mrs. Zhang replied: "Last time, old Zhou Family had contributed to the matter. Didn't your man go to say thank you?"

Zhang Mei Lian was dissatisfied with this matter. Xu Sheng Qiang was terrible at socialising.

"I heard that it's a girl. Go gift some baby stuff. After all, you need to get along with this family." Mrs. Zhang advised.

"Where's Mom?" Zhang Mei Lian asked.

"Gone out. Don't know what she's doing." Mrs. Zhang answered.

Zhang Mei Lian didn't say much and went back. Xu Sheng Qiang was watching at the shop. He was smoking while doing that.

"I told you not to smoke in the shop. The smell is so unpleasant that people aren't willing to come in and buy!" Zhang Mei Lian angrily told off when she came in.

Xu Sheng Qiang glanced at her. Then he went out and smoked. Once he was done, he came back in.

"I heard from my sister-in-law that your uncle and aunt came back after giving birth. We have to prepare something to send over." Zhang Mei Lian said.

"Don't bother. They probably don't consider me as their nephew now." Xu Sheng Qiang responded.

"Don't say so much. Just prepare the gift. Passing the the thought over is enough. Our shop has to rely on that side." Zhang Mei Lian stated.

Xu Sheng Qiang made no comment. Instead, he mentioned, "I called back the day before yesterday. My mother asked me, when will we have a baby?"

Zhang Mei Lian choked before answering, "Just haven't gotten pregnant yet, no?"

Xu Sheng Qiang stared at her. Zhang Mei Lian pursed her lips and continued: "Qiang Zi, do you disdain me? Dislike me for not birthing children?"

"No. Still, we got to have a child." Xu Sheng Qiang pulled out another cigarette and replied.

"Then I will go to the hospital to buy some medicine to consume." Zhang Mei Lian could only utter this.

However, her heart felt completely unsettled. The hospital said it wasn't that she couldn't get pregnant, but it was not so easy to.

Xu Sheng Qiang didn't say anything. He lowered his head and smoked.

Zhang Mei Lian ordered: "Don't go in and smoke. Go in after you finish. I'll talk to your sister."

Xu Sheng Qiang still remained silent. Zhang Mei Lian let him be and came to Zhao's house.

Xu Sheng Mei wasn't home at this time. She went to the shop. Zhao Jun came out to see her and grinned when he saw her: "Come in and sit?"

"No, just come to find Sheng Mei." Zhang Mei Lian blushed and said.

"Come in and wait for her. There is no one at home. Only the children." Zhao Jun stared at her as he spoke.

"Then I will go in for a moment." Zhang Mei Lian replied.

After going in, she stayed for a while. Zhao Jun sent her out when she came out. On the way Zhang Mei Lian came to the clothing store to look for Xu Sheng Mei. Her face was a little red.

Don't know what Zhao Jun meant. He touched her hand just now. It put her one the spot. Her heart was beating fast.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Sheng Mei had just handed the shop to the clerk to go home when she saw her coming. She directly uttered.

"I just came over to talk to you. I recently went back to my maternal home and heard that Uncle and Aunt brought a daughter back." Zhang Mei Lian told.

Xu Sheng Mei glanced at her and said, "I know."

"What do you want to send? At that time, help us deliver our shares together." Zhang Mei Lian asked.
