"Mom, why don't you say anything in advance when you come back, I can go and pick you up too."

Jiang Xia changed into slippers, put her shoes in the shoe cabinet, ran to her mother, held her arm intimately, and said angrily like a coquettish act.

"I also decided to come back temporarily, so I won't notify you in advance."

Zhao Mei stroked her daughter's long and soft hair and explained softly.

"Where is dad? Has dad been back?"

Jiang Xia looked around and didn't see her father, so she asked quickly.

"Your dad hasn't come back. I'm in Yanzhou. Why do you miss your dad or not your mom?"

Zhao Mei said something tasteless.

Jiang Xia was slightly disappointed, hugged her mother's arm and leaned on her shoulder and said quietly: "Of course I have thought about it, mom and mom, but you haven't been back for almost two years."

Zhao Mei had a look of fatigue on her face and sighed, "Hey, mom and dad have no choice. Now our business is getting bigger and bigger, and the branches are opening more and more. Your dad and I are so busy all day long that we can't get out of the ground. We really can't get out of our body."

"Hmph! I think you are asking for your own reasons. Is it really that important to be the largest cloth merchant in Qingzhou?"

An old but full of energy suddenly came.

"mom!"

Zhao Mei's face stagnated. Looking at Liu Guixiang who was walking down the stairs from the second floor, she stood up and called out softly.

"Mummy."

Jiang Xia shouted and hurriedly ran over to hold her mother-in-law's arm.

After seeing Jiang Xia, Liu Guixiang's cold face immediately melted, and she showed a doting smile. She patted her hands and said with a smile: "My mother-in-law is in good health, not to the point where she can't walk, so I don't need my little Xia Xia to help her."

"I know my mother-in-law is in good health. I am not helping you, but enjoying your love for me."

Jiang Xia felt that the atmosphere between her mother-in-law and her mother seemed a little unharmonious. She vomited her pink and tender tongue and began to act cute.

But the method of acting spoiled, which has always been unsatisfactory, seems not very effective today.

Liu Guixiang looked at her kindly, but when she faced Zhao Mei, her face immediately drooped.

Without Jiangxia's cuteness, his voice was filled with strong anger: "Zhao Mei, what do I ask you? Is it so important to be the number one cloth merchant in Qingzhou? It's so important that I can't even come back for the New Year, which is even more important than children, right?"

"Mom, I..."

Zhao Mei's face changed. Her lips were whispered for a long time, but she was speechless. She bit her lower lip with shame. After a long time, she explained: "Mom, I'm sorry, during the Chinese New Year last year, the cloth shop in Yunzhou had a big problem. If it was not handled in time, the hard work of these years might have been squandered. So Brother Hua and I didn't come back. Don't worry, I won't be able to do it in the future. I promise that even if I'm busy in the future, I will definitely come back in the Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival."

"Why!"

When Liu Guixiang saw her daughter's tired face, she felt distressed after all, and her anger disappeared in an instant.

After sitting down on the other side of the sofa, he said lightly: "Tell me, are you in some trouble again? Otherwise, you wouldn't have run back at this time."

Zhao Mei was excited and subconsciously glanced at Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia pouted and stood up reluctantly to avoid it.

“Sit here.”

Although Liu Guixiang felt sorry for her daughter, her resentment did not disappear. She patted her side with a cold face and let Jiang Xia sit beside her.

Then he stared at Zhao Mei: "What? Is there something shameful? Do you still have to avoid Xia Xia?"

"No, mom, where do you want to go? Don't I think Xia Xia doesn't like business matters? That's why she avoided it."

Zhao Mei finally calmed down her mother, so she didn't dare to make her angry, so she quickly explained with a smile.

Jiang Xia was a little at a loss, and it was not right to leave, nor was it not right to leave.

She was indeed not interested in business matters, but she was not easy to disobey her mother-in-law's orders, which made her feel embarrassed.

"Your mother-in-law lets you sit."

Seeing Jiang Xia standing there with a look of embarrassment, Zhao Mei quickly asked her to sit down.

"oh!"

Jiang Xia reluctantly sat next to her mother-in-law and participated in the family meeting for the first time.

It's not an exaggeration to say it's a family meeting.

Because these mothers are the real decision-makers of the family.

As for her father Jiang Hua, she is actually a tool person who is responsible for obedience.

There is no way, who made him lose his ability and marry a smart strong woman?

Zhao Mei and her mother were not polite, so they took out a small piece of fabric and handed it to her: "Mom, I want to ask you to help you see what kind of cloth is suitable for making, which is more suitable for selling it at a good price."

Liu Guixiang took the fabric and touched the texture, put on reading glasses, and looked at the chandelier carefully.

Jiang Xia also reached out and touched her curiously. She felt that the texture was thick, the patterns were clear, and the feel was quite good.

Liu Guixiang frowned, thought for a long time before saying in a deep voice: "This kind of fabric has excellent raw materials, exquisite craftsmanship, thick texture, clear texture, and high wear resistance. It is a kind of fabric that is very suitable for manual laborers, but the dyeing is very poor. I really can't think of what kind of clothes to make to have commercial value."

Hearing his mother's answer, Zhao Mei collapsed on the sofa like a deflated ball, her face full of bitterness.

"I have asked Master Dyeing to see it before, and they said the same."

Liu Guixiang said in confusion: "Then do you still produce this kind of fabric?"

"It's not produced by our family, but the task of being assigned."

Zhao Mei sighed helplessly.

Jiang Xia said in confusion: "Open the task? What does it mean? Some people dare to buy and sell it forcibly."

Liu Guixiang and Zhao Mei and her daughter smiled bitterly when they heard this. This child is still too experienced and does not understand the worldly ways.

"Since ancient times, any businessman who wants to become bigger and stronger cannot do without official policy support."

Zhao Mei also wanted to take the opportunity to teach her daughter a good lesson so that she would not always live in the greenhouse and be as silly as a silly and sweet.

"At that time, if your mother-in-law's family had no official connections, they would not have become the number one cloth merchant in Youzhou."

Liu Guixiang nodded aside and agreed with her daughter's statement.

Jiang Xia seemed to understand but she was smart, and she could tell at first: "It's just a collusion between officials and businessmen."

"What do you say, your mother is a serious businessman, how could she do things that officials and businessmen collude?"

Zhao Mei angrily hit Jiang Xia in the arm, and then continued seriously: "After my father and I have worked hard for over the years, we have opened cloth shops in the five northern prefectures. However, we have only been in this industry for more than ten years and have a serious lack of background. Your father and I have made great efforts that are far beyond ordinary people to reach the current scale. But if we want to go further and become the largest cloth shop in Qingzhou and even the entire north, we will never be able to avoid official resources anyway."
