In the 1970s, I became the vicious female supporting role in the period novels

Chapter 378 Mom, Don’t Be Afraid

Yu Xueli glanced at the two people's faces. As far as she knew, Shen Meng wanted to start her own business, and she would definitely go to the provincial capital in the future. It was impossible for her to stay in the county town with her and open a small shop.

But if the person she was going to live with was Wu Xianglan, then she would have to think about it.

"I have to sort it out. My mother-in-law is not in good health this year and Lao Qian is busy. If I still work in the hospital, I won't have so much time to take care of the family."

"Didn't you want to leave the job to Dezi?"

"That child is very hardworking and does well in school. Now he is in junior high school and wants to live in the school dormitory. He doesn't want to stay at home because he is afraid of causing trouble to the family and his grandparents coming to our house to make trouble. He said that he wants to take the entrance exam to a normal school and become a teacher. The child has his own ideas. The father and grandmother of Da Ya and Xiao Ya have left dowries for them. The two little ones in the family also have money that we can save. As for Dezi, I thought of selling my job and keeping the money for him."

Wu Xianglan cried out "Ouch!" She was reluctant to sell her job to run a small shop. It was a stable job, especially in a hospital. The money involved was so lucrative that she was tempted just by thinking about it.

"This is what happened. Xianglan knew you wanted to buy the store, so she wanted to invest a share of the money. She won't have to do anything, and you can just give her a share of the profits."

"Well, this is what happened. I have some family wealth. If it were someone else, I would definitely not be willing to part with it. But my sister-in-law told me that you wanted to sell the store, and I immediately had this idea. I know you are a smart person, and you will definitely not lose money."

"Tsk tsk!"

Shen Meng couldn't help but roll her eyes after hearing what Wu Xianglan said. Over the years, no matter what she did, she was always like a lackey.

"Okay, we are all acquaintances. Shirley, what do you think? If you are willing, then bring her in. If not, then just pretend we never said anything."

"Okay, but I just want to open a snack bar. If I have someone to join me, the cost can be reduced. But business is always profitable and loss-making, and I can't guarantee that I will make money. If you want to be a partner with me, we have to be clear about the ugly things."

"Row."

It's not that Wu Xianglan doesn't understand this principle. If someone had said this to her in the past, she would have definitely thrown a tantrum. But over the years, she has been getting along well with Yu Xueli, Xie Jing and several others, and has basically become a normal person. Except for sometimes liking to take advantage of others, there is nothing wrong with her.

Shen Meng did not participate in the cooperation between the two people. She just listened from the side and sometimes gave some advice.

After the discussion, the two decided to contribute 1,500 yuan each, but Yu Xueli would take the lion's share of the money earned. She had to take care of the store's affairs, so she would take 60%, and Wu Xianglan was willing to do this.

It was written very clearly in black and white, and once two people signed and sealed it, the matter was settled.

When Wu Xianglan received the agreement, she grimaced in pain. This money basically emptied her family's assets. She made a little when the family property was divided, and also got some benefits when she worked in the textile factory. All this, plus what she had saved over the years, was more than enough.

However, the family’s expenses for next month will have to be covered by the salary that has not yet been paid.

Shen Meng also gave some suggestions on what food to sell in Yu Xueli's shop. It is recognized that she is a good cook. Yu Xueli also thought that if she is not busy, she would cook a few dishes for her to try and give her some suggestions!

When talking about what to do in the future, the three of them started talking nonstop again.

Half a month later, Yu Xueli and Wu Xianglan opened their snack bar, with eight tables for dining in. They made a simple noodle shop, hired a few honest and reliable old ladies to help in the kitchen, and two young men to boil the noodles.

Shen Meng helped make the soup and sauce, which was fresh and delicious. The restaurant was packed on the first day of opening because it was so delicious.

Wu Xianglan was greeting people at the door with her two children, when she saw from a distance Lu Changzhu and Liu Sanjin coming with Zhou Jiaojiao's two children. They didn't smile at all, which made her heart skip a beat.

"Yongqiang and Yongli, the two of you follow me. Today is the big day when mom and your Aunt Shirley are opening their restaurant. We can't let them mess it up."

"Don't be afraid, Mom. My sister and I are not leaving. We will stay here."

"Well, I won't leave."

Wu Xianglan swallowed, put on a smile and walked over.

"Mom and Dad, what brings you here? Yaya is walking on her own, that's great. Are you tired?"

"Humph!"

Wu Xianglan looked at Lu Yaya and Zhou Jiaojiao's faces which were quite similar and found them really disgusting.

"Snapped!"

"mom!"

Yongqiang and Yongli were shocked to see Liu Sanjin suddenly hit their mother. They rushed to Wu Xianglan and carefully looked at the marks on her face.

"What are you doing? Why are you hitting me? Mom, what did I do that made you come all the way here to hit me?"

"I want to hit you. I want to kill you now. Wu Xianglan, Wu Xianglan, you have a good life in the county. You take your children to eat and drink delicious food, but why don't you think about Ke Leng's career and Yaya? They are suffering with me in the countryside. Your husband has been fired from the pig farm, and you don't even go home to see him. What do you want to do? How can you live like this? Come on, come back with me quickly and take care of your husband. Also, find some time to find your sister-in-law and think of a way to rescue Jiaxuan."

"What are you thinking? I'm still taking care of him. Forget about this idea. I won't argue with you today because you are Yongqiang and Yongli's grandparents. You know what Lu Jiahe has been like over the years. Why don't you go find Jinghao? Why don't you dare to find my sister-in-law? Aren't you just bullying the weak and afraid of the strong? I can't do anything about it. If you make trouble with me again, don't blame me for divorcing your son."

Wu Xianglan said this firmly, but Lu Changzhu and Liu Sanjin's expressions did not change at all. Lu Jiahe's behavior was absurd, but it was not the first time he had done this. They were sure that Wu Xianglan had just said this in anger.

"Grandma, my parents are getting divorced, and my sister and I both agree. We've wanted them to get divorced for a long time. My mom has worked hard to raise me and my sister all these years. When I was little, I didn't know better and I blamed my mom. Now that I'm grown up, if my mom divorces my dad, my sister and I will only recognize her. In the future, my mom will study hard, make money, and honor her."

"That's right, mom, let's go. Aunt Shirley has made delicious noodles. Let's ignore them. Yaya and Qiancheng are bad kids. Your dad is not good to you, but you are so filial. You would rather leave mom and think about dad. That's great. You should do the same when you don't have enough food in the future!"

After Yongli finished speaking, she dragged Wu Xianglan away. Yongqiang looked at Lu Changzhu and Liu Sanjin hatefully.

The old couple felt chilled to the bone when their grandson looked at them.
