 Chapter 368. Fourth shop

Eldest Sister-in-law knew exactly what kind of temper Lin Qing He had.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that she won't permit a grain of sand in her eye.

Zhou Liu Ni ran over by herself, despite her objections. Was she able to stay? No. The day she reached the capital, she was sent back directly without staying for a night.

Therefore, when First Sister mentioned that she wanted Xu Sheng Qiang to go over with his sister after the New Year, Eldest Sister-in-law didn't approve.

One more person meant one more person to feed. Not only did they have to raise a half-grown child for nothing, but also have to give an extra salary. That side hadn't request for someone to go over. Who would dare to nod and decide on this side?

Eldest Sister-in-law didn't intend to get involved. If Sheng Mei brings Sheng Qiang over, he will definitely be brought back if there was no shortage of people.

But in the end, First Sister had a good relationship with her, so she mentioned it when her daughter called.

Now Lin Qing He called back. It was obvious that Xu Sheng Mei mightn't be allowed to go next year. After Eldest Sister-in-law hung up the phone, she hurried back to get Eldest Brother to make a trip.

"Let First Sister cool her thoughts. It's not like she doesn't know Qing He's temperament. And she dares to send him over there before saying. Do she think Qing He has a good relationship with her?" Eldest Sister-in-law muttered angrily.

In fact, this matter was a little unpleasant to handle. From the beginning, it was First Sister overreaching.

To say that First Sister had a good relationship with Lin Qing He wasn't necessarily true. Whether it was First Sister or Second Sister, the relationship with Lin Qing He was generally so-so.

Only Zhou Xiao Mei and Lin Qing He was tight-knit.

Eldest Brother went over to talk to his eldest sister.

First Sister agreed and said, "Okay, since not allowed to go, then Sheng Qiang will not go. Sheng Mei will go her back after the new year celebration."

Eldest Brother was still very kind-hearted. He hadn't brought up Lin Qing He's sentence of  'if Xu Sheng Mei being busy, then she didn't need to come over.'

After he returned, the atmosphere in the old Xu's house wasn't so good.

Xu Sheng Mei said, "Mother, look. I told you not to go to uncle's house and say it."

"If I don't mention, how can you take your brother over?" First Sister looked at her and asked.

"I already said can't bring him. The day Zhou Liu arrived was the day she was driven back." Xu Sheng Mei replied.

It wasn't Xu Sheng Mei who act first and report later. She couldn't be any more clear about her aunt's temper.

She wasn't one to give way to another. One hundred percent her call shots. A dictator. Do whatever she wanted. She held the power in the house.

"Mother, if you really want my brother to go there, you should call and ask by yourself?" Xu Sheng Mei looked at her mother.

First Sister did not speak. She was also a little embarrassed before this younger sister-in-law. Put it frankly, even though she was the eldest sister in the family, Lin Qing He wouldn't place any importance on her.

Later, it was a little better. She was more politer. In the past, she didn't even give her a glance when she saw her. Simply like they didn't know each other.

First Sister was thinking that once her son was there, maybe he will stay?

After all, he was their nephew and a capable young man. Not a lazy girl like Liu Ni.

However, she didn't expect rejection right away.

Speaking of which, First Sister felt depressed.

But what else can she say? This sister-in-law, Lin Qing He didn't put her in her eyes before. Now that she had a promising future, would she attach any importance to her, the eldest sister.

"Mother, I want to go to the capital!" Xu Sheng Qiang said unwillingly. He wanted to go to the capital/ especially since his sister gone over. She said how wonderful the capital was. He was staying at home and doing farm work. He didn't want to do farm work at all. Not only was it tiring, but also, he might marry a girl from the capital if he went over!

Then he can move his household registration to the capital in the future and will be a citizen of the capital. He will no longer have to do farm work.

"What are you going for? Your aunt won't let you go. Stay at home!" First Sister staed.

Xu Sheng Qiang said, "Isn't my sister already 18 this year? Let my sister stay at home and marry someone. I will go to the capital to fill my sister's spot!"

This was a good idea. First Sister looked at her third daughter at once.

Xu Sheng Mei's face turned pale. Now she had seen the scenery over at the capital, she wasn't willing to marry someone from the countryside. She wanted to find someone from the capital!

"Mother, if impossible, I am willing to give my spot to brother, but our clothing store sells women's clothing. Those who buy and try on clothes are all women. My brother wouldn't do right? At Hu Zi's side, they sell men's clothing. If you are willing, go and talk to with Second Aunt (2nd Sis). Make Hu Zi come back to marry and give the position to my brother." Xu Sheng Mei suggested.

First Sister curled her lips and said, "How could your second aunt be willing?"

Xu Sheng Qiang spoke: "Since Hu Zi can do it, I can also do it. I can also go to the men's clothing store."

"Then talk with Aunt (Qing He). That side certainly has an outsider. If she is willing to change to you, then it'll be perfect." Xu Sheng Mei said.

"Aunt, Aunt. Why didn't you say about Uncle?" Xu Sheng Qiang responded, "I have no blood relationship with her at all. Uncle is my relative!"

"Uncle's words at home have no power. It's Aunt who has the final say." Xu Sheng Mei replied.

This matter was left unresolved.

Although the holiday end on the 15th of January, Lantern Festival day, Hu Zi came over on the 10th to notify Xu Sheng Mei.

"There are still a few days left." Xu Sheng Mei said.

"What's the matter? It's no problem to go there earlier. Maybe Aunt opened the business ahead of schedule." Hu Zi replied.

Xu Sheng Mei didn't really want to go so soon. But when she thought about the TV over there and how her mother wanted to pass her job to her brother.

So after a little hesitation, Xu Sheng Mei stated, "Then come and find me tomorrow."

"Okay." Hu Zi nodded in response.

He didn't think too much. He didn't have much to do at home. If it weren't having Xu Sheng Mei, who was a month older than him, in mind, he would have caught a ride back to the capital on the 7th.

His uncle’s dumpling shop had opened. He can go to his uncle’s dumpling shop to help out.

Just need to include the meal. The rest didn’t matter.

Speaking of which, the food at home was really incomparable to his uncle and aunt's side.

So early the next morning, Hu Zi carried his baggage to find Xu Sheng Mei. Xu Sheng Mei also had a small bundle. Truthfully, there was nothing to bring.

The two of them came to the county city together, took a ride to the municipal city, and transferred to trains from the municipal city to the capital.

Over at the capital, Lin Qing He had also started preparing for the beverage shop these days.

On the ninth, she went to the Housing Management Bureau and asked about it. There was a shop at that side. The asking price was three thousand yuan.

Lin Qing He took a look at the small shop. She wasn't completely satisfied, because it was pretty small. Only tens or so square meters. It was especially dilapidated. Renovation and redecoration were a must.

But because there was a movie theater next to it, Lin Qing He hesitated. She ended up buying their fourth shop.
