Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 18: Determining to Repair the Porcelain Kiln

Shen Qingqing looked at the gray-haired old man in front of her and shook her head: "No, Xun Jin is my uncle."

Hao Bo said "Oh" and said: "You are Xunli's daughter? You look a lot like your mother when she was a child."

Shen Qingqing chatted with Haobo for a while before Li Xunjin finally finished his call and came back.

After exchanging the phone number of the person who repaired the porcelain kiln, Li Xunjin hurriedly took Shen Qingqing back.

"Qingqing, your uncle will take you home later. He has some things to do at the company. Go back and tell your mother about the porcelain kiln repair and wait for me to contact you, okay?"

Shen Qingqing noticed that Li Xunjin's expression seemed to be wrong, and nodded obediently while asking tentatively: "Uncle, is there something wrong?"

Li Xunjin said as he drove, "It's my uncle's classmate who got scammed when he started a clothing company. He wants to talk to me about cooperation."

"Isn't he in the clothing business? Why is he working with my uncle?" Shen Qingqing was puzzled.

"He wants to ask my uncle to work with him in the clothing company, and he is waiting for me in the company now." Li Xunjin could see that he was quite distressed.

Shen Qingqing pondered it for a while, and always felt that there was something that could be done, but she couldn't figure it out yet, so she could only nod and stop asking.

The car drove all the way to Shen Qingqing's house, and Li Xunjin dropped her off and left.

As soon as Shen Qingqing entered the room, she had an intimate contact with Shen Yangyang, who bumped into her stomach with a "bang".

Shen Yangyang's head was big and hard, and Shen Qingqing grimaced when she hit her.

"Yangyang! Don't run around the house!"

Li Xunli, who was in the kitchen, heard the noise and looked out, and saw Shen Qingqing pressing Shen Yangyang to the floor like a police officer arresting a criminal.

"Qingqing! Let your sister go! She's just a softie, you can't twist her like that!" Li Xunli said angrily, then asked, "What did your uncle say?"

Shen Qingqing let go of Shen Yangyang and walked towards the kitchen. "My uncle and grandpa both agreed to repair the porcelain kiln, and today my uncle even took me to find the old man who repaired the porcelain kiln!"

"But the old man said he was too old to repair it, so he asked my uncle to find his son. My uncle told me to tell you that he will arrange this matter and will call you when the time comes to repair it."

Li Xunli frowned when she heard this. "Didn't I tell you not to let your uncle pay? You didn't tell me?"

Shen Qing washed a tomato and chewed it in his hand, saying vaguely: "I said it, but the money was paid by me, not by my uncle!"

How could Li Xunli believe her? "Shen Qingqing! You lie without thinking, don't you?"

"I'm not lying. I made the money by buying stocks with my uncle! If you don't believe me, go and look at my piggy bank. I took out a thousand to buy stocks with my uncle! Today my uncle told me that he made a lot of money. I used it to repair the porcelain kiln and it's enough!" Shen Qingqing knew her mother didn't believe it.

"Originally, my uncle promised me that he would go home with me to prove to you that I really earned the money myself, but he received a call from a classmate and had to go back to the company, so he was not available."

Shen Qingqing's words were well-reasoned and clear, but she still couldn't gain her mother's trust.

"What do you, a little kid, know about stocks? Your uncle dotes on you too much and saves money for you!" Li Xunli said "tsk" in annoyance, regretting that she shouldn't have listened to her daughter and let her talk about this matter.

He wiped his hands on the spot, took out his pager and called Li Xunjin.

But how could Li Xunjin be free at this moment?
The classmate who had come to discuss cooperation with him was sitting in Li Xunjin's office, crying. The phone was not working, and Li Xunli had no choice but to glare at Shen Qingqing, who was still chewing a tomato.

Shen Qingqing ate the tomato with an innocent look on her face, and she didn't feel uncomfortable being wronged by Li Xunli. When her uncle came, he would immediately prove that what she said was right.

But what Shen Qingqing didn't expect was that her uncle didn't have time to help her prove it!
This directly led to Shen Qingqing's status in the family plummeting, and she would be scolded by her mother for anything she did.

On Friday night, I was thrown into the kitchen to wash dishes.

In the past, this kind of work was done by her father!

Shen Qingqing was washing dishes with a humming sound. She looked up from the window and saw a man in work clothes walking and stopping as he came to her door, and raised his hand as if to knock.

She immediately shouted towards the living room: "Dad! Mom! Someone is looking for you!"

The sound was so loud that the man outside the door was startled.

Soon the door opened, and Shen Qingqing quickly washed the dishes and came out, only to hear the man introduce himself: "Sister Xunli, I'm Jiaming. My father told me that your porcelain kiln needs repairs, so I contacted Brother Xunjin, and he told me to come to you. So I came to ask tonight. My schedule for next week is full, and I'm only free on Saturday and Sunday, but Sunday is not a good day, so I wanted to ask if you can start the work tomorrow?"

Li Xunli was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "Okay, what time tomorrow? I'll go over and take a look then."

"I'll pick you up at 9:00 tomorrow morning. I've also called a few of my friends, and we'll fix the door for you together. Is that okay with you?"

How could Li Xunli say no? She had originally thought that she would have to find two groups of people to repair it, so she immediately thanked Li Jiaming repeatedly.

After settling this matter, Li Jiaming left in a hurry again.

Shen Rongzhou hugged Shen Hong and asked, "Who is this person?"

Li Xunli locked the door and explained, "It was only after he told me that I remembered he was the son of an old porcelain kiln repairman in our village. He used to play behind us when he was little, but he left elementary school before he started learning porcelain kiln repair from Uncle Hao. I haven't seen him in years."

After everyone had left, Li Xunli suddenly remembered, "Tsk, I forgot to ask him how much it was! I can pay it back to my brother later."

As he said this, he glared at Shen Qingqing who was following beside him.

Shen Qingqing is truly innocent this time!!

But she also wants to see the porcelain kiln being repaired tomorrow. She has never seen such a thing in her life!
So a big woman can bend and stretch. Shen Qingqing decisively hugged her mother's thigh and acted coquettishly: "Mom, I want to go tomorrow too~"

Li Xunli rejected her without a second thought: "No, you and Yangyang stay at home."

"I'll go with Yangyang! We won't run around, we'll just follow you, really, I promise!" Shen Qingqing tried her best to beg her mother to agree.

Finally, under Shen Qingqing's unremitting efforts, Li Xunli agreed, "How could I give birth to such a clingy person like you!"

Shen Qingqing chuckled and did not refute.

Before leaving on Saturday morning, Li Xunli specifically told Shen Qingqing to keep an eye on Shen Yangyang, and that she could only watch from outside and could not follow them into the porcelain kiln.

Shen Qingqing held Shen Yangyang's head with her hand, and the two sisters nodded in unison, "Don't worry, Mom!"

Unexpectedly, when she arrived at her family’s porcelain kiln, she finally met her uncle whom she hadn’t seen for a few days!
　See you tomorrow night~
