Chapter 230 228 Child bride?
"Mom, I'm going to accompany Yaoyao to visit Grandma Li today."

In the morning, Jiang Shu was eating noodles with soybean sauce in the store and said to Fu Wanying.

"Go ahead, go ahead. It's time to go over and take a look. Miss Xiuzhen asked me yesterday how Yaoyao was doing recently."

Fu Wanying touched Yaoyao's head gently. In a blink of an eye, she had been taking care of this child for six or seven years. Time passed so quickly. The little girl has now grown into a graceful young lady. Everyone who sees her says that she is beautiful, like a star.

"Where's Dad?"

"He went to Shihao to check out the decoration of the new store." Fu Wanying said with a smile.

Although the couple is very busy every day, they don't feel tired as long as it is related to making money.

I was afraid of being poor in the past, and now I think I am still young and should do as much as I can.

Moreover, Jiang Shu painted a rosy picture for her, the temptation of a national chain, the dream of every restaurant person.

Jiang Shu nodded slightly. Shihao Plaza is one of the prosperous business districts in Jiazhou in the future. It was also his idea to make early arrangements. In just a few years, the number of Bobo Chicken stores has expanded to three, and the prototype of a chain store has been formed.

Just as Tao Huabi was able to sell Lao Gan Ma all over the world, it should be no problem for Jiang Shu to reduce the difficulty and turn Jiang Yeye Bobo Chicken into a national chain.

In addition, he had another trick up his sleeve. Taking advantage of the rise of online shopping, he made Jiang Yeye Bobo Chicken into a trademark, signed a contract with a food processing factory that met environmental sanitation standards, and sold the seasoning packets all over the country.

However, there is no rush for this matter. We can wait until the third store opens, and then open an online store, and then introduce the Bobo Chicken seasoning packet into the local market through supermarket shelves.

In the era when short videos and live broadcasts were not yet popular, one could find someone to make food-broadcasting videos and post them on the Internet. In fact, hype was Jiang Shu's forte, and the rapidly expanding takeout market was still a blue ocean in this era.

"Mom, don't be too happy too soon. You will have a lot of hard work after this year. Now I can only say that the three stores are just a small start. In my strategic plan, they are just the beginning."

"What new ideas do you have?" Fu Wanying couldn't help but feel curious.

She would never have dared to dream of having three stores in the past, but with the current business, she can easily earn a million a year, which she is already content with.

But after all, there is a big gap between the thoughts of ordinary people and geniuses. Her son said that this was just a small venture and there must be bigger business opportunities waiting for her in the future.

Jiang Shu smiled and deliberately kept the secret: "Mom, if you have time, you can go to the State Intellectual Property Office and ask what materials are needed to register a food trademark."

"Should our family register a trademark?"

“If you want to build a chain brand, a trademark is indispensable.”

"Okay, I'll go ask when I have time."

Jiang Shu finished the last bite of noodles with soybean paste and wiped his mouth with a tissue: "Mom, Yaoyao and I will go to Grandma Li's place first."

"Uh-huh."

The two of them hailed a small tricycle on the side of the road and returned to the former Baifu Road. After expansion and renovation, the old store here is much larger than before, but it is still as popular as ever.

Since Jiang Shu's family moved to their new home in 2009, the previous small house was given to Li Xiuzhen to live in. Fu Wanying even hired someone to repaint the walls white, and the old furniture was not moved away, making it just the right place for Grandma Yaoyao.

"Grandma! I'm back!" Zhong Yaoyao shouted as soon as she returned to the yard.

"Hey, Xiaoshu and Yaoyao are back?"

Granny Liu in the courtyard saw the two of them and couldn't help but chuckle: "I saw your grandma go out before, I guess she will be back soon."

"Oh, thank you Granny Liu. Let's go home and wait for her."

Seeing Zhong Yaoyao going upstairs happily, Granny Liu looked at her deeply for a few times, her face full of envy.

In the past, Li Xiuzhen's family had the lowest status in the courtyard, and her granddaughter was bullied by everyone else's children. But since she got involved with Boss Jiang's family, her life quickly became prosperous.

Some people say that this is because Li Xiuzhen sold her granddaughter to the Jiang family as a child bride. Otherwise, Boss Jiang is not a fool, so how could he provide free assistance and raise her as his own daughter before he became rich?

Seeing that Zhong Yaoyao has become more and more beautiful over the years, Granny Liu also feels that these words may not be groundless.

"Grandma, I'm going out to play!"

"Play, play, play. All you do is play. Have you finished your homework? Go back to your room and do your homework!"

Seeing her grandson loving to play and have fun, Grandma Liu was furious. Jiang Shu ranked first in the exam every year, but her grandson always ranked last. The gap was huge.

Back on the second floor, Zhong Yaoyao took out the key and opened the door. The room was relatively tidy, with clean clothes hanging on the balcony. However, the corners were filled with discarded cardboard boxes and plastic bottles packed in snakeskin bags.

Jiang Shu opened the refrigerator and found some leftovers that had been there for several days. He knew that Li Xiuzhen usually ate breakfast, lunch and dinner at the factory.

Sometimes when I cook at home, I can’t finish the food but I don’t want to throw it away, so I keep it in the refrigerator for several days. However, eating too much of this kind of food can easily cause food poisoning.

Jiang Shu took out all the leftovers and threw them away. Zhong Yaoyao also took out her grandmother's quilt from the house and hung it on the railing to dry in the sun. The weather was very good today, so ultraviolet rays could be used to sterilize and disinfect it.

The two of them do these things almost every week. Zhong Yaoyao also told her grandmother seriously that leftovers should be thrown away if not finished. However, Li Xiuzhen had lived a hard life in the past, and even though her life has become better now, she is still used to saving.

Not long after, Li Xiuzhen came back from the vegetable market. When she saw her granddaughter and Xiaoshu, her face lit up with joy.

"Hey, Yaoyao, my dear grandson~" "Grandma! Let me help you get it."

Zhong Yaoyao immediately ran over and took the plastic bag from her grandmother.

"What did grandma buy?"

"Knowing you'll be here today, grandma will make you your favorite minced meat and eggplant."

Li Xiuzhen's face was full of smiles. She hadn't realized that her granddaughter had grown so big. She was half a head taller than her and she could no longer hold her like she did when she was little.

"Yeah! I like the minced meat and eggplant made by grandma the most." Zhong Yaoyao said with a smile: "Grandma, I helped you empty the leftovers in your refrigerator."

"Well, if it falls, it falls."

Jiang Shu looked at the grandfather and grandson, and said with a faint smile, "Hello, Grandma Li."

"Have you had breakfast? If not, I'll go cook some noodles for you and fry an egg."

"Grandma, my brother Xiaoshu and I have already eaten. Besides, I am your granddaughter. Please don't always treat us like guests." Zhong Yaoyao said with a little dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, Yaoyao is grandma's precious granddaughter."

Li Xiuzhen laughed: "Now that you are in junior high school, how do you feel? Is it difficult to study?"

"It's not difficult at all. Brother Xiaoshu will teach me." Zhong Yaoyao said with a blink.

"It's good as long as it's not difficult. It's good as long as it's not difficult."

Li Xiuzhen patted the back of her granddaughter's hand with a smile, feeling very emotional.

When Yaoyao was a child, Jiang Shu bullied her the most and always made her cry. Then one day, the boy suddenly changed his nature and never bullied her again. He was only nice to Yaoyao.

Li Xiuzhen felt that the best thing she had done in her life was to let Yaoyao recognize Fu Wanying as her godmother.

Yaoyao now lives and studies without worries and lives in a big house. Otherwise, her childhood would definitely not be as happy as it is now. If she continued to follow her grandmother, who knows how much hardship she would have to endure.

Even though her granddaughter only comes home to see her once a week, Li Xiuzhen is already very content. She is very happy that Fu Wanying treats Yaoyao as her own daughter.

"Grandma Li, in two years, you should be ready to retire, right?" Jiang Shu asked.

"I am 53 years old this year, and I still have two years before I retire at the age of 55. Xiaoshu, thank you for your family's hard work in taking care of Yaoyao over the years," said Li Xiuzhen.

In the past, as a member of the lowest social group, she had no social security, no job, and did not even dare to think about retirement.

Later, I was introduced to a textile factory by an acquaintance. This year is my seventh year there. I have also paid social security for a few more years. When I retire at the age of 55, I can receive a pension every month.

These days are getting better and better, and there is more hope.

"You're so polite, Grandma Li. My parents treat Yaoyao better than they treat me."

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhen couldn't help but burst into laughter. She looked at Jiang Shu kindly, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

This kid grew up under her care. Except for being a little naughty when he was young, he became more and more outstanding and became the child of other parents.

Li Xiuzhen had heard rumors from neighbors that she sold her granddaughter to Boss Jiang as a child bride in exchange for her current good life. In a rage, she scolded that man and his family.

But if her granddaughter grows up and Yaoyao and Xiaoshu develop feelings for each other in their daily interactions, she will definitely be the first to agree, and will even be happy from the bottom of her heart.

But it seems a little too early to consider this matter now.

After having dinner here, Jiang Shu and Yaoyao said goodbye to Li Xiuzhen and went home.

"Grandma, I have to go to school again tomorrow. We will come to see you next week." Zhong Yaoyao said seriously.

"I'm in junior high school and my studies are very busy. Yaoyao doesn't need to come every week."

"That won't do! Okay, grandma, don't send me off. Brother Xiaoshu and I are going back. Don't eat leftovers overnight. It's easy to get an upset stomach."

"Yes, yes, I'll listen to you."

Li Xiuzhen took out a cloth bag with a smile, which contained a lot of money.

She wiped her tongue with her finger, counted out five hundred-dollar bills and handed them over: "Yaoyao, Xiaoshu, here, take them. Grandma will give you some pocket money. Buy whatever you want. I won't tell your parents."

Jiang Shu smiled and refused. He already had over 10 million in his card, so why would he need such a small amount of money?

"Grandma Li, keep it for yourself. We have it."

After saying that, he pulled Yaoyao and turned around and ran. From a distance, Yaoyao's voice slowly came.

"Grandma, we'll come back to see you next week!"
