Chapter 362: Avoiding Suspicion
Chen Xingling smiled bitterly: "You can't do it, right?" Bear with me and say a few nice things to others. β
Ma Dali sighed: "In addition to apologizing and saying good things to others, what else can I do?" Originally, our village was surnamed Ma, and there were not many outsiders. She's so much to doβit's an eyesore! β
Chen Xingling couldn't help but ask curiously: "Who are the people she provoked?" If you are not married, sooner or later you will achieve good things, and then Erli will have no worries. β
"A man who can go to the widow's doorβhow many are good men?" Ma Dali gave a roll of his eyes and explained: "Some are already married, and some are second-rate people in the streets. β
Chen Xingling frowned and sighed: "Why can't she think about it so much!" It's already like this, and I don't want to find someone who can live a down-to-earth life! β
Ma Dali lowered his eyes and lowered his voice: "I said it a long time ago, that woman's eyebrows and eyes are not simple, and at a glance, you can know that she is not the kind of woman who makes people worry." β
"Yo!" Chen Xingling teased: "You really know how to look at each other?" Awesome! β
Ma Dali shook his head: "I don't know if I will look at it, but her eyes are wrong, she is not the kind of person who is frank and generous, I can see it at a glance." β
Chen Xingling said: "She has no name and no point with Erli, you can put a hundred hearts." No matter which man she is good with next, it is her own choice. Don't get involved, don't meddle. She is not a child, and she has to choose who she wants to marry her. If you help her to make the decision, if there is anything unreliable in the future, she will have to rely on you completely for the rest of your life. β
"How dare I?" Ma Dali explained: "I told Erli not to go there casually in the future, if you have anything to say, let March Sifang pass, otherwise it is easy to make people suspicious." We should be frank and open-minded, and we must not let people talk nonsense. Not only that, but I also told them not to go over casually, just let Xiao Jing take her back when she came. If something is too heavy, help twist it through. β
Chen Xingling nodded approvingly: "It is true that suspicion should be avoided." β
"I'm always going out early and returning late now." Ma Dali smiled bitterly: "I wish you could take on one more project immediately, even if I can sleep on the tree net on the construction site." My relatives and uncles are all very angry, if it weren't for the fact that I am usually honest and all the people in my family are scholars, they would have come to my house a long time ago. I, now I can hide as much as I can, and when I see them, I run away. β
Chen Xingling couldn't help but propose: "You can just come here at night to guard the factory." Anyway, it's very spacious, get a wooden bed and sleep in the back. β
"Won't it be?" Ma Dali asked in surprise: "Really?" β
Chen Xingling asked funny: "Am I joking?" My fourth brother doesn't know when he will come back, and my fourth sister-in-law doesn't dare to sleep here. I had planned for my brothers to take turns keeping vigil here, but when I think about it, they all have families and rooms, and they can't compare to you as a bachelor. If you can come, I'll just fix you. Although there are no valuable treasures in the factory, there are so many things inside and out, it is more appropriate for someone to guard them. β
"Of course!" Ma Dali promised: "Don't worry, I will keep a good vigil." It's quiet here at night, it's more suitable for reading books and studying on your own, and I'm a hundred happy to do it! β
Chen Xingling had no choice but to explain: "More than that, do you think the vigil is just a vigil?" You must also be responsible for opening the door in the morning and closing the doors and windows in the evening. β
"No problem!" Ma Dali nodded.
Chen Xingling said again: "You can use it in the kitchen, boil water in advance and fill the hot water bottle in the morning, and wait for my fourth sister-in-law and them to come over, and let her do the rest of the work." β
"Okay." Ma Dali said: "Embroiderers generally work early, and some like to start getting needles and threads at six o'clock in the morning, and it may be earlier in summer. β
"Wow......" Chen Xingling smiled bitterly: "Then someone must have a vigil, otherwise who can open the door so early!" I have to take care of the children's school lunches, and then I have to go to class myself. My fourth sister-in-law is a well-known bed king, and she can't get up at eight or even nine o'clock every morning. β
Ma Dali asked with a fox face: "No, right?" Isn't it early today? We'll have firecrackers at seven o'clock! β
Chen Xingling couldn't cry or laugh: "I told her a thousand times yesterday evening, and I also specially emphasized with my third brother that everyone has to arrive before seven o'clock today - my fourth sister-in-law heard that she was pushed by my sister-in-law to get up, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get up." β
Ma Dali: "......"
Chen Xingling lowered his voice: "You hold on first, please leave it to you for the time being." β
"But I have occasional classes in the morning." Ma Dali said helplessly.
Chen Xingling already had an idea, and said, "It's okay, you just need to open the door, boil the hot water, and explain the rest to the two masters." They are also one of the managers, and the workers can directly solve their problems. β
Ma Dali's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "You-told them?" β
"Yes." Chen Xingling explained: "I told them, try to help manage the juniors, they are all experienced seniors, let them come and lead the young people to work hard, we can be more assured." β
Ma Dali held back a smile: "Speaking is better than singing!" It's all the same meaning, but there is a world of difference when you say it! β
Chen Xingling grinned.
Ma Dali was not too worried, explaining: "The embroiderers are all girls and women, and most of them are good women who are patient and hardworking, so it is not difficult to manage." People who don't have a little self-discipline and endurance can't do such a kind of work. β
"Yes." Chen Xingling nodded.
At this time, the playful voice of the little tiger sounded outside!
"Mom! Mom! β
Chen Xingling hurried out and saw Gu Qi parking his bicycle while chatting with his brothers, while Xiaohuzi had already rushed over and hugged her.
"Mom! I want sugar too! β
Chen Xingling smiled and asked, "After school?" What about Aunt Xuan? Didn't come with you? β
"Nope." Xiaohuzi replied with a smile: "I know that it will open today, so I have to come over early to rub the candy and eat, and I specially asked my father to pick me up in advance." Aunt Xuan is still at Chongwen Middle School! β
"Huzi!" Ma Dali raised his hand and waved the candy in his palm: "Look! β
Xiaohuzi immediately let go of his mother and threw himself into Ma Dali's arms with a puff of smoke.
Ma Dali lifted the little one high and made him sit on his shoulder.
"Huzi, uncle will take you outside to ride a big horse!"
"Okay! Let's go! Go gogogo now! β
Gu Qi greeted his brothers and sisters-in-law, waved to Ma Dali, and then walked slowly towards Chen Xingling.
"Xing'er, are you done? Why don't you go back early in the evening? β
Chen Xingling shook his head: "Wait, I'll come back later." Today is the first day of opening, and there are still a lot of things that have not been sorted out. Xiao Xing has nothing to do recently, so she will go over to cook in advance. β
Gu Qijun's face was slightly embarrassed, and he whispered: "Today...... It's my mom's birthday. β
Yes???
Chen Xingling: "I've been too busy lately...... I forgot about it. β
"I know." Gu Qi looked at the coming and going, and said, "Recently, you have been busy with the opening of the embroidery factory, leaving early and returning late, which is very hard. It's okay, I'll go to the grocery market first to buy some cooked food, and then let Xiao Xing stir-fry two more dishes, which should be enough. β
Chen Xingling hurriedly held him down and said with a smile: "No, I'll go around and buy it in a while, you take Xiaohuzi back first." If you don't usually go there to buy something, people may cheat you. I'll just arrange it. β
All she needs to do is pick up a roast chicken or duck or two from the supermarket's deli section, and she doesn't have to pay at all.
Even if it's Gu Qi's money, it's the family's money!
Gu Qi couldn't help but ask, "Okay?" Will you be too busy? β
"It's nothing." Chen Xingling explained: "I will buy it in advance and then transfer it back. It's okay, Ma Dali will go and move his mattress over in a while. He was in charge of the mat, and we didn't have to wait until the door closed. It just opened today, and it will only open tomorrow night, so that embroiderers are free to work overtime. β
"That's good." Gu Qi helplessly explained: "All the meat tickets on my body were taken by my mother, and I don't know if I can buy them without tickets." Xing'er, you buy meat every day - you don't have a ticket for a long time. β
Chen Xingling blinked his eyes and whispered: "I have a way to buy it, but the quantity is not much, so I have to go over and buy it in advance." If you want to buy more, you have to book a day or two in advance. β
Gu Qi understood and advised: "Things on the black market are expensive, don't make too much meat tonight." β
Knowing that her mother-in-law is the eldest daughter-in-law, Chen Xingling ruthlessly exposed: "If you don't make it richer, your mother will cry and even make trouble." β
Gu Qi frowned: "Uh...... All right. β
