Chapter 529 I underestimated her before
After the three people discussed it, Yu Qing did not delay. Xiao Zhuzhu could not sleep too late at night. She had to go back and accompany Xiao Zhuzhu to go to bed early and get up early.
Starting from the next day, Ruan Xiuhua and the three kings of the Ruan family became busy. It was easy to find the storefront upstairs and downstairs. After all, there were only a few people doing business in this era.
The facade decoration does not need to be luxurious. When she first started, Yu Qing did not think about making it luxurious and exquisite for public consumption. The decoration was passable. The only requirement was that it be neat and clean.
Occasionally, she would leave Xiaozhuzhu to Grandma Ruan to take care of her, and she would run outside with Ruan Xiuhua and the others, busy, and time would fly by.
On this day, Yu Qing just woke up from her nap, and as soon as she came out of the bedroom, she found that Zhou Jingfang was at home and had not gone to work.
"Aunt Zhou didn't go to work in the afternoon?"
Zhou Jingfang smoothed the strands of hair around her ears and smiled at her: "Well, I'll have a rest in the afternoon."
"oh."
Yu Qingxin said that if she didn't go to work, she didn't need to hang out in the corridor. She could stay in the bedroom or the living room downstairs.
She was holding Xiao Zhuzhu and was about to pass her and go downstairs to play. Suddenly, Zhou Jingfang spoke up: "Qingqing, can we talk?"
Yu Qing stopped and said with a confused expression, "You...can do it."
"Then go to my and your dad's bedroom."
After saying that, Zhou Jingfang took the lead and entered the bedroom without waiting for Yu Qing to refuse.
Yu Qing looked at the open bedroom door and couldn't help but blink. She had never seen that her stepmother was quite strong before!
However, looking at her attitude today, what is she trying to do?
Ruan's father's bedroom is much larger than hers, and has a separate bathroom. The furniture in the bedroom is antique and has a simple atmosphere. Every piece of furniture has carvings.
It looks much more refreshing than the pink in her bedroom.
"Stop standing while holding the baby. Sit down." Zhou Jingfang poured her a glass of warm water.
Yu Qing found a chair by the window and sat down, lowering her head to tease the little Zhuzhu in her arms.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhou Jingfang could only chat casually: "I see you like the decoration style of our bedroom very much."
Yu Qing raised her head and smiled: "It's not bad, it suits my dad's personality quite well."
Zhou Jingfang had a gentle smile on her lips: "These furniture were all ordered when we got married. We have been making them for several years. By the time these furniture are finished, your brother Nannan will be two years old."
Yu Qing just smiled and didn't express any opinion.
Seeing that she remained silent, Zhou Jingfang couldn't show off anymore.
The two of them sat in silence for a long time before she finally said calmly: "Actually, the main reason I came to you today is that I have something to ask you for help with."
Yu Qing rolled her eyes twice, and she roughly knew what Zhou Jingfang was looking for.
As expected, I heard her continue: "It's not a big deal. My eldest sister-in-law has been laid off these days. It's not a problem to stay at home now. My eldest brother still has three children and the elderly to support.
His salary alone cannot support so many people."
Zhou Jingfang glanced at Yu Qing secretly and saw that she was still teasing the child in her arms calmly.
She took a sip of water and said, "My sister-in-law is just thinking about doing something? Her brother happens to be good at cooking, so they are thinking about opening a small restaurant together."
Yu Qing raised her head and said, "Aunt Zhou, this is a good thing. Your sister-in-law's restaurant is opening, and I will definitely go and support it."
Zhou Jingfang: "..."
Her face stiffened for a moment, and she laughed awkwardly: "It hasn't started yet, but they are short of starting capital. All the family expenses are being spent every day, and the family has no income, so I am worried about them.
My aunt came to see you today not for anything else, she just wants to ask you if you can borrow some money so that my brother and sister-in-law can open the restaurant so that the family can have income."
Yu Qing kindly reminded: "Aunt Zhou, opening a business does not mean that you will definitely make money. Your sister-in-law has no business experience, so you should think carefully and be cautious."
"I know that they are all adults and must have thought it over carefully."
Zhou Jingfang said this, but he didn't care in his heart. Ruan Xiuhua and the three great kings of the Ruan family had never done business before.
Once you invest, it's not just about making the business a success.
If Yu Qing knew what she was thinking now, she would definitely laugh out loud: The Ruan family's business is completely copied from her business. She has succeeded in the city, how can the Ruan family succeed in the provincial capital?
If she supplies the goods, at least in terms of supply, the Ruan family will not encounter any problems.
"Anyway, your eldest brother is also the uncle of my brothers. It's unreasonable not to help. But I don't have much money. As you know, I spent a lot of money buying land a few days ago..."
Of course Zhou Jingfang knows: "I know, but my eldest brother is really in trouble this time, can you help me a little this time?"
Yu Qing actually hates these kinds of human relationships the most. People in this era are very polite. Sometimes when relatives come to ask for help around the corner, they have to help.
Besides, this time Zhou Jingfang asked her not to ask too much, but to give her a little help.
This put her in a dilemma. How much is too much and how much is too little?
Finally, under Zhou Jingfang's persuasion, Yu Qing borrowed a thousand yuan to stop. It was also this time that gave her a new understanding of this stepmother.
She was brave enough to spare no effort for her mother's family, even begging for help to achieve her goal! With this skill, Yu Qing felt ashamed.
Returning to her room, Yu Qing raised the IOU in her hand and sneered: "What a powerful person! I actually underestimated her before!"
However, after suffering such a dark loss today, she really couldn't swallow it.
Are you thinking about telling Dad Ruan about this?
In the evening, I saw two cute brothers, Ruan Nan and Ruan Bei, sitting at the same table for dinner. After dinner, they circled around Xiao Zhuzhu. They coaxed her and told her little stories.
Finally, Yu Qing took a breath for the sake of her two younger brothers.
I'm holding my breath inside, what should I do if I can't vent it out?
The next day, Yu Qing went to an antique store in the provincial capital and bought a lot of antiques that she thought were genuine. Two of them were listed in the online store. She lost a thousand yuan yesterday and had to make up for it today.
The renovation of the small theater was in full swing, and everything seemed to be going smoothly. However, at a critical moment later, Dad Ruan could not buy enough movie projectors.
In the end, it was Yu Qing who searched for old-fashioned projectors on the Internet and bought some to make up for the shortcomings of the projectors.
Ruan Xiuhua looked at the ten projectors that he had finally assembled and said: "We will open these ten small cinemas for the time being. When the business is booming in the future, people will naturally come to ask for cooperation with us."
"Well, my second uncle is right. Once the film arrives in two days, we can start the trial operation." Ruan Yong couldn't wait to experience the feeling of booking a theater for himself first.
"Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind."
Not only the few people present, but also everyone in the Ruan family are looking forward to the trial opening of the small cinema.
