When Xia Xiaoqin and Shen Shu arrived home in the rain, only Li Xiang was standing in the aisle of the gate.

Xia Xiaoqin locked the door when she went out, but now the door is open, and it can only be opened by Mrs. Xia with the key that never takes off.

Shen Shu asked: "Fourth sister, the door is open, why don't you go to the hall and sit?" ”

Li Xiang nodded at Ma Xiaomei's house: "Someone has a fast foot, and he has already entered your yard." I don't go in alone, in case you lack something in your house and mistakenly think that I took it and want to sue me, won't I be able to tell you clearly. ”

Shen Shu smiled: "Come in, I'll find you a piece of my clothes, you changed this wet clothes." ”

"Okay." After Li Xiang entered the hall, he said, "I won't go to my eldest brother's house for lunch, I'll eat at your house." Okay? ”

"Of course, let's stew stewed vegetables at noon."

Li Xiang sneered: "I really let the third sister say right, you really want to stew stewed vegetables at noon." I like to eat stewed dishes, which have a lot of flavors. ”

The subtext of Li Xiang's words, Xia Xiaoqin, and the three of them all understood.

Xia Chunyan and the others walked quickly, and after arriving at Shen Shu's house, they went straight to the kitchen, wanting to see what dishes Shen Shu had prepared.

They were very angry when they didn't see the big fish and meat, and then they went to Xia Guoliang's house.

As for whether Xia Guoliang invited them to go or whether they wanted to go by themselves, Xia Xiaoqin didn't care.

Without them to eat, this pot of stewed vegetables can be eaten in the evening, and the mother Shen Shu of the province is busy making dinner.

After lunch, Li Xiang was going back to the county seat, she only took a morning off, and went to work in the department store in the afternoon.

Before Li Xiang entered the hall of Ma Xiaomei's house, he smelled the fragrance of wine and food, and when he entered the hall, he saw that there were six dishes and one soup on the square table painted with red lacquer, and a bottle of Baofeng wine was placed on the table leg.

Li Xiang and Ma Xiaomei have always been at odds, Li Xiang stayed at Xia Xiaoqin's house to eat stewed vegetables today, and she made her attitude clear, and resolutely refused to repair the relationship with Ma Xiaomei.

And Ma Xiaomei, relying on the table of wine and food in front of her and Mrs. Xia, couldn't help but raise her shelf, and said to Li Xiang: "Can you eat enough stewed vegetables alone?" Would you like to sit down and eat two more bites? ”

"Your food is too expensive, I can't afford it." Li Xiang was too lazy to talk to Ma Xiaomei, she said to Mrs. Xia, "Mom, I'm going back to work in the county, will you go back to the hospital tonight?" ”

Li Xiang's meaning is obvious, the second sister-in-law Shen Shu is so disgusted with Mrs. Xia, does she want to stay back tonight.

Mrs. Xia was thinking about this on the way home from the cemetery, and when she saw the lunch prepared by Shen Shu, the disappointment and anger in her heart overflowed.

However, Ma Xiaomei's schadenfreude and Zhang Quan's dislike were seen in the eyes of Mrs. Xia.

Mrs. Xia has never been a foolish person, she asked for a tofu recipe in the cemetery today, but also because Zhang Quan gave her a promise.

Zhang Quan promised her that if she could help get the recipe for Chiba Tofu, he would not only give her 500 yuan of private money, but also take her to the business capital to enjoy the blessings.

However, when Xia Xiaoqin resolutely refused, Xia Chunyan was instantly anxious when she heard that she was going to Shangdu.

Mrs. Xia's heart is like a mirror, she has been used again!

Now, Mrs. Xia decided to dry Shen Shu first, wait for Shen Shu to dissipate her breath in a few days, and then put pressure on Shen Shu and let her take her back.

However, Mrs. Xia didn't want to go back to the hospital, she still lived comfortably at home, and she could go to the village entrance to talk to people when she was bored, which was like a hospital, she could only face Xia Danhong's bitter gourd face.

"I'm not going back to the hospital, I'll stay with your eldest brother for the next few days."

Mrs. Xia said, she didn't look at Ma Xiaomei's face that looked like she had eaten a fly, and only cared about gnawing on her own chicken legs.

Mrs. Xia's methods of pinching her daughter-in-law are very powerful, and she is very sure that Ma Xiaomei does not dare to refuse her in front of everyone.

The corners of Li Xiang's mouth couldn't help but rise, and she smiled: "Then it's troublesome for my sister-in-law to take care of my mother, I'm in a hurry to go to work, and I'll come to see our mother in a few days." ”

After Li Xiang left, Ma Xiaomei hurriedly asked Xia Chunyan: "Third sister, when will you return to Shangdu?" ”

Xia Chunyan looked at Zhang Quan, she didn't know what her husband thought.

Zhang Quan smiled and said: "Chunyan finally came back, we stayed for two more days, and then left when the weather improved." ”

Ma Xiaomei hurriedly said: "You live in Xiajiang's house, Xiaomin and Danhong sleep in the same room, and I will make your bed later!" ”

Ma Xiaomei wished they could stay for a few more days, and the third brother-in-law was generous and ate with him, and he couldn't do without meat.

Today's table of wine and food is what he paid for!

Zhang Quanxin smiled tacitly: "Then it's troublesome sister-in-law, I'll go to discharge our mother from the hospital in the afternoon, will Xiao Jiang be with me?" ”

Xia Jiang shook his head: "There is something in the town in the afternoon, I'll leave later." ”

Ma Xiaomei pushed Xia Weiye out: "Let Weiye go with you, he is familiar with the county!" ”

"Okay, when the rain stops, our aunt and nephew will go to the county seat together."

Zhang Quan is a businessman, and he likes to weigh the pros and cons of everything.

Zhang Quan believes that the profits that Chiba tofu can bring are enough for him to bend his waist, so he will continue to lower his posture and "talk about wine" with the Xia family's group of mud legs.

Xia Chunyan lived in Xia Xiaoqin's house, and got up in the middle of the night to help Xia Xiaoqin cook the pot, which was Zhang Quan's first plan.

Asking Mrs. Xia to come forward to put pressure on Xia Xiaoqin to share the secret recipe of Chiba Tofu was Zhang Quan's second strategy.

Now, Zhang Quan is planning a third plan.

Zhang Quan wanted to find Xia Jiang to go to the county seat with him because Xia Jiang had been at home all the time and was more familiar with the situation of Xia Xiaoqin's family.

Moreover, Xia Jiang is very steady and measured, and Xia Guoliang and Ma Xiaomei both listen to him.

Zhang Quanneng could see that Xia Jiang didn't want the secret recipe of Chiba Tofu, he wanted to pull Xia Jiang into his camp and jointly implement the third move.

However, Xia Jiang was going to work in the town, so Zhang Quan could only start with Xia Weiye and inquire about Xia Jiang's affairs.

When the rain stopped, Zhang Quan and Xia Weiye rode a tricycle borrowed from Xia Xiaoqin's house and pulled a wheelchair rented from the hospital to discharge Mrs. Xia.

After leaving Xiajia Village, Zhang Quan began to turn the topic to Xia Jiang.

"For business, how much is your brother's salary in the town for a month?"

"I can get 40 yuan for my salary plus subsidy." Xia Weiye snorted disdainfully, "It's not more than half of me!" ”

Zhang Quan asked with a little surprise: "How much can you earn in a month in Pengcheng?" ”

"More than 100!"

Xia Weiye's surprise in Zhang Quan's eyes became even stronger, and he was even more embarrassed: "When my aunt's factory business was at its best, I received 200 a month!" ”

200 a month, which is considered a sky-high income in rural areas.

But Zhang Quan is a person who has seen the world, he earned 20,000 yuan with that yuan last month, and he has already ranked among the ranks of 10,000 households, so Xia Weiye's showing off is a joke in Zhang Quan's eyes.

When he invited those factory directors to dinner, he would spend this amount of money on one meal.

The reason why Zhang Quan was so surprised was purely to compliment.

Now, Xia Weiye was floated up by him, and Zhang Quan began to throw his bait.

"There are at least thirty or forty people in your aunt's factory, right? Even if other people receive 50 a month, they will have to send out a lot of money a month. Your aunt is really profitable to open a factory! ”

Oh, yes!

Xia Weiye has sighed like this more than once.

His cousin is so good-looking, just because he is the son of the factory director, the female workers in the factory are scrambling to behave in front of him!

Obviously, he was the one who needed to get married at the right age, but those female workers didn't even look at him.

Even the aunt didn't say anything about matching him, so he had to go back to the village to find a partner!

Xia Weiye's heart became more and more unbalanced, and he said angrily: "Now the business of the factory is not as good as before, I think, if you don't reform, sooner or later it will go out of business!" ”

"Have you ever thought about changing jobs? Or...... Start your own factory? ”

"What? Start your own factory? Xia Weiye grabbed the brakes of the tricycle and asked extremely uncertainly, "Third uncle, do you mean to make me the factory director?" ”
