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

Chapter 43 One More Thing to Change
By the time they sat down to eat, Li Xunli's anger had subsided a lot.

Seeing Shen Yangyang, who was only daring to eat from her bowl like a quail, he reached out and picked up a chicken leg and put it in her bowl, then gave the other one to Shen Qingqing, who had been watching her, and sighed, "What's with that expression? Didn't you always want me to quit? Now that I really quit, you're unhappy again?"

Shen Qingqing muttered, "I didn't ask you to resign because of something like this. I didn't want you to resign because of something like this. You'd be unhappy and unlucky."

As Shen Qingqing finished her words, she thought about how her parents had toiled for half a year in her previous life, only to be owed wages. This prematurely deceased son even absconded with the money. She couldn't help but feel a little relieved: "Fortunately, you've all resigned. If they just find an excuse to deduct your wages now, who knows if they'll be able to pay you in the future!"

When Shen Rongzhou and Li Xunli heard this, the couple looked at each other and saw the deep meaning in each other's eyes.

The daughter might have said it unintentionally, but looking at the chaotic state of the factory, the two of them couldn't help but think more about what her daughter said.

Shen Rongzhou reached out and patted Li Xunli's hand holding the chopsticks: "Okay, don't waste your energy on this kind of thing. Next month I will be able to drive my own car, and I will definitely be able to support our family."

Shen Qingqing also said: "Mom, now you can focus on making those two porcelain orders! You don't have to stay up until midnight!"

Hearing Shen Qingqing's words, Li Xunli suddenly seemed to remember something and clapped her hands, saying, "Then we can also make the remaining two porcelains for Boss Yao! If we hurry, we can make five and give them to him before Christmas!"

"Boss Yao's order is worth 10,000 yuan. If I save it, I'll have a better New Year." Li Xunli thought so, and her mood improved.

I gave a deposit of 2,000 yuan before, which was for the five custom-made porcelains. After three of them were completed, I would pay half of the money, which is 5,000 yuan. The remaining 3,000 yuan balance would be settled after the remaining two were completed.

In addition to the two sets of small porcelain ornaments of the twelve zodiac animals, the details were later decided. In addition to maintaining the appearance of the twelve zodiac animals, some additional Christmas elements were added, and as a buyout, each set was priced at one thousand yuan.

In other words, Yao Runyang’s total income from this order was 12,000 yuan.

Then there was the two thousand yuan that Zhang Hengyun received before the New Year, which added up to fourteen thousand yuan. On average, her salary in the past few months before the New Year was almost the same as Shen Rongzhou's!
Shen Yangyang, who didn't understand what the adults were saying, finally finished eating the chicken leg her mother had just given her. She looked up and saw that her father, mother, and sister all had relaxed expressions on their faces. Her big eyes rolled around, and then she asked, "Mom, can I have another chicken wing?"

"Sure! Eat!" Li Xunli had just made a good calculation in her mind, and her mood finally improved. When she heard her little daughter asking for food obediently, she immediately picked up another chicken wing and gave it to her.

She wanted to give the remaining one to Shen Qingqing, but Shen Qingqing hadn't finished the chicken leg in her bowl yet, so she quickly stopped her mother and said, "Mom, I don't want it anymore. You eat it, you eat it!"

Li Xunli put it in her bowl.

Shen Qingqing took a bite of the chicken leg and suddenly said "Hey!" and said to her mother excitedly, "Mom! Then you will have time to learn how to ride a motorcycle!"

Before Li Xunli could say anything, Shen Rongzhou took over the conversation, "Yes, this way, I don't have to ride my bike for so long to pick up Yangyang from school in the morning and evening."

"Let's talk about it later. You said before that you wanted to learn how to ride a motorcycle. Wasn't that because you had to go to work and were pressed for time? Now you don't have to rush. It's okay to ride for a longer time. You can consider it as exercise." Li Xunli didn't feel rushed anymore.

"You don't have to learn it all at once. If you can drive, you might as well learn it. If you really need to, you don't have to pedal a bicycle so hard and get exhausted." Shen Rongzhou advised her, "Well, I have two days off at the end of the month, so you can learn it during those two days. Isn't there an ancestral hall where your grandmother lives? There aren't many people in the open space in front of the hall, so it's a perfect place to learn." Shen Qingqing's eyes lit up and she raised her hand: "Then we can go see grandma!"

Shen Rongzhou glanced at his daughter, took out his phone and found the calendar: "Those two days at the end of the month are not weekends, otherwise I would switch with another one and go on the weekend."

"But everyone wants it this weekend, so it might be hard to change it."

"Okay, I can go by myself. It's very close anyway! It only takes ten minutes by bike!" After a moment of disappointment, Shen Qingqing stood up again.

The passing of her great-grandmother in her previous life was something Shen Qingqing regretted very much.

Later, when my great-grandmother was old, she suffered from severe high blood pressure. Her children took turns to accompany her during the day, and nothing happened to her. But one night, when she got up to go to the bathroom, she didn't look carefully and tripped over the stairs and fell, and passed away.

But it was obvious that on the night when great-grandmother fell, Shen Qingqing went to see her with Li Xunli. However, because the door was closed, they thought the old lady was asleep and left without disturbing her.

If they had knocked on the door that night, chatted with the elderly, or accompanied them when they went to the toilet, death could have been avoided.

Shen Qingqing remembered that day very clearly, so after her rebirth, she took the matter of changing her great-grandmother's fate to heart.

My great-grandmother was very stubborn and only wanted to live in the small house where she and my great-grandfather lived. No matter how many times she was asked to move in, whether it was to live in the Shen family or in my grandmother's house, she refused.

Therefore, Shen Qingqing could only change on that day. Now, she would spend more time with the old man. She was always alone in that small house and felt very lonely.

Li Xunli was also very close to her grandmother, so she didn't object to Shen Qingqing's idea of ​​riding her bike to visit her great-grandmother. She just reminded her, "Be careful when you ride your bike. When crossing the road, don't just look at one side, look at both sides. Only cross when there are no cars."

Shen Qingqing nodded obediently, "I know!"

Time passed quickly, and Shen Qingqing ran to the ancestral hall almost every time she had time. Her great-grandmother's house was just behind the ancestral hall.

The rematch of the first round of the quiz came as scheduled. Because there were only four people this time, the Chinese teacher booked a five-seater van.

The process was exactly the same as the preliminary round, except that there seemed to be fewer people. Shen Qingqing was in the same examination room as a senior student from her school.

Shen Qingqing happened to be sitting one in front of and one behind the senior student, and it still took them less than an hour and a half to finish.

She had originally wanted to hand in her paper half an hour early, just like she did in the preliminary round, but there was a senior student from the same school sitting behind her, and she didn't know how well she could handle the pressure. After thinking about it, Shen Qingqing gave up. She sat in her seat and scribbled on the draft paper with a pen, pretending to be doing the questions, and waited until the end of the competition time.
