Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

The group talked for a while at the door before leaving.

Zhong Ting drove a black Santana. After the car left, the Ge family went back inside.

Bai Zhenzhu remarked to Zhong Ting, who was driving:

"I never expected to run into Comrade Zhong again. Fate is truly amazing."

Zhong Ting drove quite steadily.

"Call me by my name."

"Okay, Tingting." Bai Zhenzhu patted Shuo Shuo's head.

Shuo Shuo suddenly said, "Aunt Tingting is so handsome, just as handsome as my godmother?"

"Hmm?" Zhong Ting frowned slightly, unable to associate the word "handsome" with Ge Minjing.

Bai Zhenzhu realized she had misunderstood and quickly said:

"Shuo Shuo was referring to his other godmother."

Zhong Ting casually remarked:

"This young man has quite a few godmothers."

Shuo Shuo became quite smug:

"I have not only many godmothers, but also many uncles."

Back at the courtyard house, Ge Minjing happened to be there as well.

Zhong Ting wasn't familiar with Ge Minjing; Ge Minjing had already gone to the countryside when Zhong Ting was born.

Ge Minjing invited her inside to sit for a while, but Zhong Ting politely declined.

Bai Zhenzhu thanked Zhong Ting and watched her drive the car away before going inside with Ge Minjing.

The two then talked about their children's schooling.

Ge Minjing patted Shuo Shuo's head approvingly:

"I was thinking of mentioning it to my older brother sometime, but I didn't expect that Shuo Shuo would handle it all by himself."

“You should really consider this. Since you’re going to open a clothing store here anyway, why not let Shuo Shuo go to school here?”

"The quality of education in big cities is definitely better than in county towns."

White Pearl nodded:

"I think so."

Ge Minjing was overjoyed:

"That's great! I have to find you a house right away."

Bai Zhenzhu was quite moved.

She never imagined that in less than a year, she would actually open a store in Chengdu.

Without Guo Yongliang and Ge Minjing, she probably wouldn't have come to Chengdu to develop her career.

He'll most likely just sit in Yuan County and wait for the train station to be demolished, then do some small-scale business.

Therefore, she, Guo Yongliang, and Ge Minjing can be said to have helped each other achieve success.

Now that she has the opportunity to develop her career in a big city, she will naturally make the most of it.

Not only does she want to seize the opportunity, but she also wants to "urge" Ge Minjing and her husband to do the same.

……

Zhong Ting parked her car in her yard, took the car keys, and went upstairs.

Upon seeing his daughter return, Mr. Zhong's face darkened:

"Haven't you returned the car to your brother yet?"

"You're a girl, and you don't even do the job we found for you properly. You just hang out with a bunch of rascals all day long. What kind of behavior is that?"

She'd heard those words so many times she was practically numb to them, but Zhong Ting acted as if she hadn't heard them at all.

work?

He earned less in a month working that job than she did doing whatever she did casually.

Going to work is out of the question.

Zhong Ting put her arm around her father's shoulder:

"Dad, I want to open a bar, could you sponsor me...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Mr. Zhong flew into a rage:

"Get out of here!"

After saying that, he took off his shoes and was about to hit someone.

Zhong Ting quickly fled, rushing upstairs:

"Don't be angry. If it's not okay, it's not okay. I won't bother you anymore."

Mr. Zhong was so angry his head was buzzing:

"If you don't come to me, who will you come to?"

“I’m telling you, Zhong Ting, if you dare to borrow money from your brother, I’ll break your legs, you little bastard.”

Fortunately, he is in his prime, otherwise he would have been driven to his death by his own daughter sooner or later.

Zhong Ting, who had escaped back to her room, had already turned on her Walkman and started listening to music.

……

The next day, Bai Zhenzhu continued drawing.

She finished drawing the pictures that Guo Yongliang wanted before she started designing her own clothing store.

Then, I took some time to visit the construction site where the office building in Rongcheng was being installed.

After Bai Zhenzhu handed over the pictures of the clothing store to Guo Yongliang, and obtained the property certificate for the shop in Mingzhu Plaza and took the photos, she took Shuo Shuo back to Yuan County.

This time, Ge Minjing stayed in Chengdu for more than half a month. She missed her son, so she went back to Yuan County with him.

The three of them were on a train.

It was Shuo Shuo's first time riding a train, and he was incredibly excited.

When they arrived in Yuan County at noon, Bai Zhenzhu took Ge Minjing to a restaurant for lunch and then drove her back to the furniture factory.

Shuo Shuo also brought Guo Zicheng a gift, a basketball.

"Godmother, you must tell my brother that this ball was a gift from Shuo Shuo, and that I bought it with a red envelope."

Ge Minjing couldn't stop laughing:

"I've got it, I've got it. You also need to tell your brother that his maternal grandparents, uncles, and aunts all miss him, right?"

Shuo Shuo nodded: "Yes."

Bai Zhenzhu placed Shuo Shuo at Xu Yin's house.

The little guy also brought toys for his older and younger brothers.

Bai Wenbin received a basketball, Bai Wenjie and Bai Wenxuan received toy cars, and Xiao Wenbo received a rattle drum.

Xu Yin teased him, asking why there were only gifts for his older and younger brothers, but no gifts for his uncle and aunt.

Shuo Shuo said:

"I only take care of the children, not the adults."

There was half a bag left, which was a gift for his kindergarten classmates.

The next day at school, he proudly bragged to his friends:

"Chengdu is incredibly big, as big as the entire sky."

"The hot pot in Chengdu is super delicious, but it's not as good as the one at my house. My house is the best."

"The train was running so fast, it almost reached the horizon."

"Wow!!" The friends were all stunned.

After sending Shuo Shuo to school, Bai Zhenzhu went to the bank to deposit money.

In April, excluding the two clothing stores, the total profit of the other stores was over 17,000 yuan.

She received approximately six thousand yuan from the hot pot restaurant.

Now, Bai Chenglei and Liu Fang's two stores together can earn more than 2,000 yuan a month.

Bai Chengxiang's three stores combined also received more than two thousand yuan.

The two brothers had saved several thousand yuan during this period, so Bai Zhenzhu brought up the topic of buying a house with them.

Liu Fang and Xu Yin wouldn't have dared to think about it before, but now that they have some money, they naturally dare to dream about it.

The two sisters-in-law have really gotten to know each other in the city during this time, and they've met quite a few people who say they'll be looking for houses.

Bai Zhenzhu told them to look boldly, and to borrow money from her if they didn't have enough.

Adding the money from the clothing store, she saved up 30,000 yuan and deposited it in the bank.

My balance has finally reached 3.5 again, which makes me feel a little more at ease.

The weather in May was already quite warm. She wore a long red dress with white polka dots, paired with a white vest knitted for her by Xu Yin, and her long, wavy hair was down.

People in the bank stared at her back for a few more seconds.

She comes to the bank every month to conduct business, and has almost become a unique sight at the bank.

After depositing the money, Bai Zhenzhu went to Xia He's bar for a look.

Xia He wasn't there, but Xiao Zhongyun was; his large supermarket had opened a few days ago.

Bai Zhenzhu happened to be in Chengdu those few days and missed him, so she could only congratulate him and then go inside for a stroll.

The items inside are really expensive, but the selection is truly comprehensive for today.

There are many salespeople in the supermarket, and everyone who goes in is being watched.

Bai Zhenzhu wasn't afraid of being stared at. She picked out some biscuits suitable for children with a small basket and also bought five cans of milk powder.

It's a strange hobby of Xiao Zhongyun, such a big boss, to personally handle the cashier's affairs.

The basket of items cost a total of over two hundred yuan.

I don't know if it was because he developed late or because he didn't get enough nutrition, but he wasn't very tall when he was fifteen.

Now that the economy is more relaxed, we must get our hands on baby formula.

Moreover, the baby formula that Xiao Zhongyun bought looked more upscale than the one she had bought for Shuo Shuo before.
