Chapter 77: Sharing the Same Boat and Cutting Off the Fuel
The next morning, she appeared in the Feng family's dining room, rubbing her temples slowly. She tossed and turned last night, and when she finally fell asleep, she kept dreaming. As a result, she felt dizzy and uncomfortable this morning.
However, before she could greet the people in the dining room, her sister-in-law Pei came forward with a smile, took her arm and pulled her towards the seat next to her, saying as she walked, "Look at your face, sister. Didn't you sleep well? You didn't eat well last night, so you have to make up for it this morning."
Huanhuan thought her sister-in-law's tone was a little strange, so she turned to look at her sister-in-law and found that her sister-in-law was smiling very meaningfully. She was a little confused, and then she saw her sister-in-law nodding to the side. Following her sister-in-law's gesture, Huanhuan saw her brother sitting beside her and smiling at her gently.
Huanhuan's mind was in a mess at this time, and she couldn't react to what was going on, and she was pushed to sit on the seat by her sister-in-law. Then, her sister-in-law leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Sister, don't worry, things will turn around. Eat well first, and let's talk in our room later."
This really sobered Huanhuan up a lot. She couldn't concentrate on eating. She ate a few more mouthfuls of rice, then excused herself, saying she had something to do, and left after saying goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Feng. After leaving the dining room, Huanhuan went straight to the room where her brother and sister-in-law lived, and stood at the door waiting for them to come back.
Soon, Huanhuan's brother and sister-in-law also hurried over. As the sister-in-law pulled Huanhuan in, she said, "Hey, sister, didn't I tell you to eat well?"
She slowly said apologetically, "I am worried. My brother and sister-in-law must have not eaten well because of me, right?"
My sister-in-law turned around and closed the door, then arranged for him to sit down slowly, saying, "It's okay for us, but I'm worried that your body won't be able to handle the poor eating and sleeping habits."
Seeing that she slowly sat down, her brother Feng Shunqing said, "Don't worry, sister. I heard from your sister-in-law early this morning about what happened to you in the past few days. I also heard that your visit to Qiaoji yesterday was not smooth. It's a coincidence that Qiao Guanshan, the only son of the couple who owns Qiaoji Rouge, is a very good friend of mine! He was among the people who drank with me yesterday!"
Huanhuan had just sat down when she heard her brother's words and stood up again, blurting out: "Really? What a coincidence!"
Huanhuan's mind quickly turned, and he said quickly: "Then can you convince Mr. Qiao to sell the workshop and formula to me? Or can you persuade Shopkeeper Qiao to continue running the business?"
Seeing Huanhuan's anxious look, Pei chuckled and came over to push Huanhuan back to her seat.
Feng Shunqing said, "I have also heard Brother Guanshan mention that he did not want his parents to run the Rouge Workshop and Rouge Shop any longer. He was full of regret for letting his parents give up the thriving business they had worked so hard to run for so many years. However, his parents were in poor health and he had no intention of inheriting the business, which made him feel helpless. Now that you and your brother-in-law are willing to take over, so that Shopkeeper Qiao's hard work over the years can be rewarded, I think this is another kind of inheritance and continuation for Qiao Ji, and it can also relieve Brother Guanshan's regret. I think it's a good thing, and Brother Guanshan should support it!"
He slowly said with some disappointment: "Mrs. Qiao also seems to be interested, but Shopkeeper Qiao is in charge, and he is very determined."
Feng Shunqing said, "From Brother Guanshan's usual tone, his father is very receptive to his words. Tell me in detail about your plan with your brother-in-law, and I will go talk to Brother Guanshan."
So Huanhuan told her brother and sister-in-law in detail about her and Xu Qu's ideas. Her brother asked her some questions, such as how much money she planned to pay, how to hire Manager Qiao to manage the workshop, and whether there would be any operating pressure in the future.
After thinking about it for a while, she realized that there were some questions that she had never thought about and could not answer. So her brother wrote them down and asked her to go back and discuss them with Xu Qu. Occasionally, her sister-in-law would also chime in and offer some advice.
The three of them talked for a long time in the room. Finally, the elder brother made the final decision and said, "Okay, I roughly understand it. I can go talk to Brother Guanshan, but many things still need to be discussed with you and your brother-in-law. I will take up my post in a few days. There is no time to lose. It's getting late now, and you've been tired these days. Go to bed early today and go back to Shanghuai early tomorrow morning."
Huanhuan did not take any action, but looked at his brother and sister-in-law and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, thank you!"
Feng Shunqing and Pei smiled at each other, then Feng Shunqing walked closer and slowly patted her shoulder, saying, "Silly girl, what are you talking about? We are a family."
Slowly, my heart, which had been tense for several days, relaxed, and I felt waves of fatigue coming over me. So I said goodbye to my brother and sister-in-law and went back to my room to rest.
Huanhuan went back to her room and lay on her little bed, thinking about what had just happened. She couldn't help but secretly admire her brother's careful thinking and thorough consideration. It was the first time for her to appreciate his ability to do things. No wonder he was appreciated by his teacher. It was amazing! Thinking about it, Huanhuan fell asleep.
The next morning, Huanhuan did not dare to delay, so after breakfast he took Xiaoyu back to Shanghuai.
It was almost noon when I rushed back to Xu's house. I unexpectedly met my second uncle and aunt at the gate of Xu's house.
Huanhuan bowed to them. His second uncle smiled like a generous elder and said to Huanhuan, "Huanhuan, we just came back and there's good news - Qu'er bought you a small shop on the main street in the downtown area this morning. You can open your rouge shop soon."
Huanhuan showed a happy expression and said, "Oh, that's really good news, thank you, second uncle!"
Second Aunt smiled and interrupted, "Huanhuan, you don't know, for your shop, your second uncle has been going out early and coming back late these days, and he and Qu'er have visited countless shops, selecting and negotiating, and finally bought this shop with a large sum of money."
Huanhuan hurriedly thanked him again: "Thank you, second uncle. I am sorry for your trouble."
The second uncle smiled and said, "Oh, it's nothing. The shop has been arranged to be repaired and cleaned, and it will be ready for use soon. What's more important is whether you like it when the time comes."
"Of course my second uncle's choice won't be bad." Huanhuan was in a good mood at this moment, and her words became sweet.
Hearing this, the second uncle laughed and said, "Hahaha, Qu'er and I chose it together. If you like it, it's my credit. If you don't like it, go find Qu'er."
Second uncle's words made Second Aunt, Huanhuan and Xiaoyu laugh. Then Second uncle said, "Okay, let's not delay any longer. Go in and let Qu'er tell you in detail."
So, Huanhuan bowed and said goodbye to him and Second Aunt, and then went into Xinyuan.
After seeing Huanhuan and Xiaoyu leave, the second uncle sighed, and the second aunt asked, "Master, do you think Huanhuan's business will be successful?"
The second uncle said, "I think it's difficult! Besides, whether the business will be successful is not the problem. I heard that the Duke's wife wrote to my eldest cousin again."
Second Aunt asked, "What is this Duke's wife doing?"
"It's probably about the matter of slowing down. I guess she couldn't persuade Qu'er to divorce his wife, so she wanted to bring out her eldest cousin, the head of the family, to put pressure on Qu'er." The second uncle looked into the distance blankly and answered to himself.
Second Aunt asked again, "What did the master say in his reply? Besides, didn't Qu'er say it was his idea too?"
"My eldest cousin is not stupid. Can he believe that Qu'er could come up with such an idea? The message from the messenger said that my eldest cousin was furious and directly replied that the Duke's wife could act on his behalf. Otherwise, how dare she ask Xie Jin to go to her garden every few days? If she didn't have a supportive attitude, would she dare to do it so loudly?"
Second Aunt was speechless. After a while, she said, "Then why are you trying so hard to help me find a shop?"
The second uncle sighed, looked back at the second aunt and said, "Isn't this what Qu'er wants to do? For Qu'er's sake, I have to help."
Second Aunt frowned and asked, "Does that Duke's wife really have to make a fuss to divorce Huanhuan? Huanhuan is such a kind child and has always been respectful to us. I thought we would have someone to rely on for our retirement. Hey, Master, what do you think is going on with Xie Jin? When did she get involved again?"
The second uncle looked at the second aunt and asked, "I heard that Xie Jin and the prince don't have a good relationship. What do you think will happen next?"
Second Aunt frowned and said, "What are you guessing? Xie Jin married a member of the royal family. Can she divorce him? Apart from being divorced, how can she leave? Besides, can Xie Jin let go of her status as the Crown Prince's Consort? She and her Xie family worked so hard to get it. Even if she is willing, those people behind her will not agree."
The second uncle said impatiently, "Oh, let's not talk about Xie Jin. I told you earlier to find a wife for Qu'er from her mother's family, so that she can be close to us and it will be more convenient for us to do things."
Second Aunt curled her lips and said very dissatisfiedly: "Master, Qu'er has an ear disease after all. If I introduce her to my family, it will be exposed after marriage. Then my family will come to my house and scold me every day."
Seeing Second Aunt like this, Second Uncle hurriedly coaxed her, "Madam, what you said is absolutely right. But that's the first marriage. If you really divorce and wait for a while, Qu'er can remarry someone who is not a first marriage. If there is a widow or divorced woman in your family, if you can find Qu'er, then she is a good match for you, so you won't be so picky, right?"
Second Aunt listened, thought for a moment, and said with some admiration: "Master, what you said makes sense. This way, this niece-in-law will not only respect us like Huanhuan, but will also be closer to us. She is better than Xie Jin, who is full of scheming and ambitious."
"That's right! When has Madam ever made a mistake in listening to me?" The second uncle looked a little proud when he saw the second aunt's expression.
"Yes, the master still has a way. Fortunately, the master has always been both internal and external, respectful to the superiors and polite to the humble, so he can always get such important news."
Second uncle was delighted and teased Second aunt, "Is that all?"
Second Aunt understood and said in a coaxing tone: "Of course, there are also, foresight, elegance, and meticulousness..."
"Hahaha..." Amid the hearty laughter of the second uncle, he and the second aunt walked away...
