Chapter 159: 072: Revelation of Background_4

Shen Lijun gave him a disdainful look, "You’ve changed girlfriends again?"

"Are you jealous?"

"Jealous my foot." Shen Lijun couldn’t be bothered with him.

Song Jiu has been like this since elementary school.

So shameless.

Although he looked presentable, he was actually a fickle playboy, more changeable than a kaleidoscope.

Song Jiu sat down on the sofa, poured himself a glass of water, and said, "My dad got transferred to Qing City because of his job."

"So that’s it." Shen Lijun nodded, "Where are you living now?"

"Next door to your house," Song Jiu said nonchalantly.

Shen Lijun’s eyes widened, "For real?"

Song Jiu smiled, "From now on, not only are we neighbors, but also schoolmates."

Schoolmates?

Shen Lijun said, "You got into Qingzhong School?"

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered that Song Jiu was typically unsuccessful.

How could he have gotten into Qingzhong School?

He must have bought his way in.

After all, he had a well-off father.

Sure enough, the next thing Song Jiu said was, "Do I even need to take exams?"

Shen Lijun looked at him, "9."

"9?" Song Jiu looked at Shen Lijun, puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Shen Lijun explained, "It’s 6 turned upside down."

Song Jiu: "...6!"

Zhao Cuinong and Lin Guixiang never expected that despite Empress’s incident, Beauty Chant’s business didn’t suffer; in fact, it was even better than before.

Three in the afternoon.

Beauty Chant was still in a queue, and Zhao Cuinong said with a smile, "Big sister, do you think we should hire two more people?"

If things kept going like this, two storefronts wouldn’t be enough.

Lin Guixiang nodded slightly, "I think we can."

The shop was so busy now, and with only four extra hands hired by her and Zhao Cuinong, the six of them were indeed struggling to keep up.

Zhao Cuinong said with a smile, "Since you think it’s okay too, big sister, I’ll go post the job ad online."

"Alright."

Zhao Cuinong went to the computer to publish the job information.

Before she could finish editing the post, she seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Lin Guixiang, "Big sister, I forgot to tell you something, my mom arrived in Qing City today, she should be here by now! I’ll go to the station to pick her up."

Ever since Zhao Cuinong and Lin Bingqiang settled in Qing City, her mother hadn’t visited.

"Okay," Lin Guixiang nodded, "You go ahead."

After Zhao Cuinong posted the job information, she went to the station to pick up Mother Zhao.

Mother Zhao had two sons and one daughter, and though she was over eighty this year, she was still in very good health, her steps brisk.

However, it was her first time on a high-speed train, and she was understandably flustered, taking a while to find the exit.

Zhao Cuinong spotted her mother in the crowd at once and waved, "Mom, I’m over here."

"Cuinong!"

Mother Zhao, laden with bags and parcels, walked quickly over.

Zhao Cuinong took the things from her mother’s hands, frowning slightly, "Why did you bring so much stuff?"

"Don’t you love the eggs from our hometown? I made a point of buying some to bring here. There are also radishes and green vegetables from our garden. Oh, and there’s the duck and pickled fish your elder brother loves to eat."

Zhao Cuinong had an elder brother and a younger brother.

The elder brother’s name was Zhao Chenggong.

True to his name, he was quite successful in his career, but his personality was a bit off. Since he had married into Qing City, he had little contact with the family over the years, only visiting his mother during the holidays.

But those visits were rare.

Therefore, Zhao Cuinong seldom mentioned her elder brother in front of others.

Hearing this, Zhao Cuinong’s expression darkened a bit, "Didn’t you bring anything that Shengli loves to eat?"

Zhao Shengli was her younger brother.

Nobody knew why, but despite Zhao Shengli being more filial than Zhao Chenggong, the old lady always seemed to overlook her younger son.

They say parents have a special fondness for their youngest, but with Mother Zhao, that saying had no effect at all.

"I did, I did," Mother Zhao said, nodding with a smile, "Shengli has always loved the salty black beans from our hometown. I weighed out two pounds to bring over!"

Duck and fish for Zhao Chenggong, but just some black beans for Zhao Shengli?

Upon hearing this, Zhao Cuinong’s frown deepened, yet she ultimately said nothing.

Mother Zhao looked at Zhao Cuinong and continued, "By the way, is your sister-in-law still living with you?"

"Not anymore, she and her daughter rented an apartment a few days ago and are moving out tonight." It was fortunate that Mother Zhao was visiting now, otherwise there wouldn’t be anywhere for her to stay.

Since they were planning to buy a house, Zhao Cuinong and Lin Wu were renting right below their unit to avoid the hassle of moving multiple times. Once the new house was purchased and renovated, they would move there in one go.

Mother Zhao narrowed her eyes, "Where did they get the money? It better not have come from your man."
