BTTS 496




 Chapter 496. Just missing a certificate


Naturally, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai paid her no heed.

Still, it was puzzling why Mei He would give up on a good life and persisted on walking this path?

No one governed her past matter. Later, she married a widower with children, but she was still climb over the wall. And it ended with a divorce. Since then, she broke the already broken jar.

It can only be said that the same rice can raise hundreds of different people.

It was only the second day of the New Year and Zhang Mei He came here early in the morning.

She waited for her family. She waited until late noon before she saw her sister, Zhang Mei Lian's arrival.

Zhang Mei Lian's complexion was pretty good. It was no wonder. The shop business was very good now. Each month, she received more than 200 yuan in dividends. This was much more than when she employed.

"Why did you only get back now? Don't you know how long I have been waiting for you." Zhang Mei He said angrily upon her return.

"Wait for me?" Zhang Mei Lian said.

"On New Year, you're not home. What are you doing outside?" Zhang Mei He asked.

Zhang Mei Lian raised her eyebrows and didn't say a word. Zhang Mei He understood when she saw her reaction. There was a man outside.

"I say, why are you like this." Zhang Mei He harrumphed. One look and one can tell this was a complexion of someone who didn't lack of a man.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Mei Lian asked.

Zhang Mei He went back to business. It was only when she went home that she heard that this girl had opened a clothing store by herself. She wanted to join in.

She had been in business for such a long time and had saved some money. She also knew that she can't go on like this. So, she wanted to partner together.

Zhang Mei Lian didn't agree. Her sister's reputation was terrible, how could she let her go there?

If people saw her, can they still do business?

She counted on the clothing store, so she directly refused: "Can't partner up. I partnered with someone. Now the business is pretty good. How can the other party be willing to split out a share of dividend?"

"You won't agree?" Zhang Mei He said.

"It's not a question about me agreeing or not. It's that I can't decide on my own. What's more, you have a bad reputation. The other party won't be willing to cooperate with you." Zhang Mei Lian responded.

"You aren't not at this side, how can the other party know?" Zhang Mei He couldn't help refuted.

"The person I worked with know you." Zhang Mei Lian stated.

Upon asking and learning that it was old Zhou Family's granddaughter, Xu Sheng Mei, Zhang Mei He became frustrated and couldn't help saying: "Then how did she cooperate with you?"

"I am me. You are you. We are different." Zhang Mei Lian said.

She didn't like staying at home either. After a meal, she picked up her bag and went directly to Xu Sheng Qiang's dormitory.

She lived here right. It had been like this for a while.

"Mei Lian, I thought you were going to live at home today." Xu Sheng Qiang placed her in his arms and said.

"I want to spend the New Year with you." Zhang Mei Lian curled her lips and smiled.

Xu Sheng Qiang was naturally happy. He didn't expect that such a beautiful capital girl would be willing to be with him.

"Will your sister come over?" Zhang Mei Lian continued.

"If my sister come, then she come. It's fine if she knows about our relationship." Xu Sheng Qiang said indifferently.

"You don't know. I was deceived by other men before. It led my poor reputation in your uncle's area. Your sister knows it too. And I am a few years older than you. Your sister had married well now. She  couldn't possibly set her eyes on me as a sister-in-law." Zhang Mei Lian responded.

"She married into the capital and she dare not allow me to marry a girl from the capital? Besides, you were deceived in the past and it wasn't what you wanted. I don't mind those matter." Xu Sheng Qiang said.

Zhang Mei Lian looked at him and spoke: "Qiang Zi, I believe in you. I am willing to be with you. I don't care if you got a rural household registration. But you have to strive, understand? You have to work hard to let me live a good life."

"After the New Year, I will go to set up a stall. I will definitely let you live a good life." Xu Sheng Qiang nodded.

"Setting up a stall isn't a long-term solution." Zhang Mei Lian wasn't satisfied.

How can setting up a stall be considered as successful? People looked down on it.

Xu Sheng Qiang maintained: “It’s still very profitable to set up a stall. I can make more than 100 yuan a month!” He hawked clothes and made more than 100 yuan a month. This was way better than working in  Zhao’s factory. 

Especially when he didn’t have take other people’s attitude when he was hawking. How good was this? Xu Sheng Qiang was very satisfied with his current life, especially since he chased Zhang Mei Lian. The two became real couple in this dormitory. Just missing a certificate.

How much face is gained from marrying a girl from the capital and bringing her back?. Who in the village won't envy him when that happens?

Zhang Mei Lian didn't say anything. More than one hundred yuan. That was not low.

"The money you earned isn't handed over to me." Zhang Mei Lian stared at him.

"I'll manage my own money." Xu Sheng Qiang stated. Seeing that she wasn't pleased, he changed his stance and said: "When you marry me, I will leave the money to your care." 
This way it won't be too concrete .

Xu Sheng Mei didn't know that her partner got entangled with her younger brother. What's more, they had plan to find a time this year to go back to the country to take care of the marriage formalities.

Zhao Family got many relatives. After all, how can there be little networking with such a high-ranking family?

Because Xu Sheng Mei had made money this year, she saved a little. So she had more confidence. However, she was still humble as always. At least in front of Zhao Family's relatives.

What made Xu Sheng Mei depleted was that people didn’t treat her as anything. Instead they treat her two idle sisters-in-law with smiles. It was because their household weren't low in the capital, Unlike her. She got no root at all.

No matter how kind or decent her attitude was, people still didn't take her seriously.

On the surface, Xu Sheng Mei was calm, but it went without saying she was angry.  However, people didn't care whether she was angry or not.

After returning to the room, Xu Sheng Mei told these to Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun said: "Then what do you want? They are all like this. Their family got money, would they give you any good attitude?"

So in the end, the point was that she had no money. She had married Zhao Jun though!

People still look down on her. Wasn't this Zhao Jun's problem!

"Tomorrow, I plan to go to my grandparent's. And also give New Year's greeting to my uncle. You come with me." Xu Sheng Mei said.

She didn't really want to go over it. But seeing Zhao Family's attitude now, she can't not go.

She still needed support from her maternal grand-family. If not, who in Zhao Family would put her in their eyes.

Even though her clothing shop made money, the money was just a fraction of Zhao Family's.

Zhao Jun didn't want to go: "If you want to go, go by yourself. I won't go there to suffer anger!"

      2. I think of it like eating something spicy every once in awhile even though you don’t like spicy food when you go back to the food you do like it just tastes better. Also the way they’re doing it means that main character isn’t constantly thinking about the bad characters she’s got her own shit together. That’s why the POV always changes To the mentality of delusional,useless,entitled that doesn’t get you very far in life to show that Mentality plays a big part in people’s life a good attitude can get you further.

    5. while i don't like sheng mei. i really dislike the zhaos and their treatment of her. very elitist. as if they poop out gold. and i know sheng mei did it to herself but had it been just an ignorant country girl who meets a cute guy that she truly trusted and allowed to have his way with her then ended up with a baby. it's kind of really awful that such people are like the zhaos and wang's mom who look down on people from rural areas. even where i am right now. "taga-bukid" our own word for country person, is an insult.

      1. If it was your brother being forced into a shotgun wedding with a thot, you wouldn’t be too friendly with her either 🤷‍♀️

      2. "she...met a cute guy that she truly trusted and allowed to have his way with her then ended up with a baby."

        Have we read a different book? 😅 It's clearly stated in the story that she allowed him to have his way with her because she planned to get pregnant and force him to marry her. It's not because she trusted him and she's fooled by him. It's not only LQH's speculation, but the author also mentioned it in XSM's p o.v. Idk whether she found ZJ as someone cute. But, she's very aware that he's rich and has the capital resident registration (Old Madam Hu made sure of it), the two things she coveted and the reason she schemed to get married into the Zhao.

        Also, the way she brought XSQ to the capital and let him work in the factory, then how he behaved afterward. Even if they're born in a rich family from capital, they wouldn't treat them warmly either. Look at how they treat ZJ.
