Chapter 957: The selfish and vain female supporting role (54)
Wang Cuihua was filled with jealousy ever since Xu Mingkang's family built a large villa.
She and Zhang Caitao are about the same age, and they married into the Xu family at the same time. When people in the village talk about the Xu family, they always like to compare them with their two cousins-in-law. Mingkang's daughter-in-law, whose natal family is in the mountains, is a bit poorer, but Pan is poor.
She is pretty and smooth, no wonder Ming Kang likes her so much; Ming Fu’s wife looks like she has a big ass and is fertile, but it’s a pity that her appearance is a bit ugly...
Comparing one another became a habit. No matter how many years have passed, Wang Cuihua still likes to compete with Zhang Caitao in everything.
The two families started out with similar conditions.
But her family tore down the dilapidated house eight years ago and built a three-room brick house. The location is good, with a river in front of the door, and the village road when you turn left, making it extremely convenient to enter and exit the village;
Zhang Caitao lives at the foot of the mountain. The land for his homestead is large, but he cannot afford to build a new house. He lives in a dilapidated mud-tile house for who knows how many years.
She also won when it came to having children: she gave birth to a son and a daughter to Xu Mingfu, while Zhang Caitao was pregnant three years after her, and only gave birth to a daughter.
She got a boy in one fell swoop, but Zhang Caitao couldn't give birth to a son. This fact makes Wang Cuihua proud to this day.
Besides, her two children are very promising, especially her daughter. She was admitted to the bachelor's degree first and then to the civil service after graduation. Zhang Caitao's daughter's college entrance examination score was 200 points lower than hers. She went to a bad junior college and couldn't find it in a big city.
I still have to go home to eat my old age while working.
When she heard that Xu Yin owed a huge amount of foreign debt, Wang Cuihua was extremely happy. What's the use of Zhang Caitao, a cousin-in-law, being so pretty? Her life was destined to be less comfortable than hers.
But why was it suddenly overtaken later, and the gap between the two families even widened?
Xu Mingkang's family first built a large villa. The large homestead that she once envied was enclosed by a two-meter-high wall. Villagers who often visited her said that they not only raised a large group of chickens, but also raised pigs and chickens.
It's still tender chickens and pigs, but they were booked by customers before they were even released, and the deposit alone was several thousand.
What's even more outrageous is that Xu Mingkang actually contracted the open space behind the house that extends to the foot of the mountain and planted mountain watermelons. The seeds were improved melon seeds bought by his daughter from Anshi.
More than ten kilograms.
That damn girl Xu Yin didn’t know where she learned the grafting technique. The grafted fruits became best-sellers, and she didn’t have to worry about sales at all. She also connected with Luheng Biotech and became the owner of Luheng Ecological Orchard.
Technical Adviser.
The more Wang Cuihua listened, the more jealous she became. She had been looking forward to such a day for a long time, so why did she get the advantage of Zhang Caitao, a mountain man?
Until she heard that Xu Mingkang's mutton restaurant at the foot of Luheng Ecological Orchard could easily earn thousands of yuan a day, her eyes turned red with jealousy.
no!
You can’t just watch it!
If this continues, the gap between the two families will become wider and wider. The thought of Zhang Caitao wearing gold and silver, enjoying good life and having a good time, but she is still guarding three bungalows and worrying about her son's marriage. Just thinking about that scene makes her crazy.
.
Xu Mingkang’s family just built a four-story, two-room villa, and her family built a three-story, three-room villa! She must outdo her opponent!
Where does the money to build a house come from?
My daughter’s bride price is 188,000 yuan, and it won’t be a penny less!
Then there is Xu Mingkang’s business, which is a mutton restaurant and roasting whole lambs, as if no one knows how to roast them!
Wang Cuihua immediately decided: She will also open a shop! She will also open a mutton restaurant!
"What? Open a mutton restaurant? Are you crazy?"
As soon as Xu Mingfu came back from the orchard, his mother-in-law told him that he was going to open a mutton restaurant in the town.
"Are you worried that your family has too much money? Or what? I thought it was because Mingkang opened a mutton restaurant. The mutton he roasted was delicious, and the store didn't require rent. That's why we went there. Our family has no skills.
If you don’t have a store, how can you make money?”
Not only did Xu Mingfu object, but Xu Tianli also disagreed: "Mom, it's not that easy to open a mutton restaurant. It costs a lot of money just to purchase the goods. Uncle Mingkang's store does not require rent. We don't have such a good thing. Renting a store in the town will cost us a lot of money."
It’s paid once every six months or once a year. If business doesn’t go well, wouldn’t the money be wasted?”
But Wang Cuihua felt that Xu Mingkang could make money, and her husband and son were not stupid, on the contrary, he was very smart, so how could he be in vain!
The financial power of the family has always been in her hands. She insisted on opening it, and it was useless for anyone to object.
Soon, her family rented a shop in the town and opened a mutton restaurant, also called "Xu's Mutton Restaurant".
At first, people in the town thought it was a branch of Ecological Orchard’s mutton restaurant. That restaurant’s business was so good that for two months after it opened, people lined up every day. Especially when the roasted whole lamb came out of the oven, the smell was really fragrant.
Floating ten miles away, it distracts people from work.
Fruit buyers who travel to and from Xiangcheng must order the roasted lamb series from Xu's Mutton Restaurant every time they come.
The mutton is delicious, the boss has a good service attitude, and when you buy the mutton, you get chrysanthemum tea to relieve heat... Everything is really good, but the queue is a headache.
Now that a branch has opened in the town, there shouldn’t be so many people queuing up, right?
Even if they still have to queue up, they still have an advantage as they live in the town - they can't help but let the elderly at home hold their children, who are not yet school age, and move a bench to sit in front of the store, so that when the store opens, the first person will
It's their turn.
On the opening day of Wang Cuihua's mutton restaurant, there was a long queue in front of the store.
She sat in front of the cashier, waiting to collect the money, and happily said to the father and son in charge of the roast lamb: "You heard me right, right? The business was so good on the first day of opening! Xu Mingkang was not so good in the first few days of opening.
Good business. If you don’t want to come, you will miss the opportunity to make a fortune!”
Xu Mingfu and his son looked at each other. They didn't expect that the roast mutton business was so good. It seemed that there were many rich people in the town.
Xu Tianli said happily: "Mom, I didn't expect you to be so business-minded. If there is such a good business every day, our family will soon be able to build a three-story villa."
"No!" Wang Cuihua happily chewed melon seeds, "When the time comes, with your sister's betrothal gift and the profit from the mutton restaurant, our family will not only build a three-story villa, but also decorate it as luxuriously as a villa in the city.
What kind of wife do you want but can’t get?”
At this time, the customers in line couldn't help but urge: "It's not baked yet? Don't over bake it."
"Okay, okay! Don't rush me, come one by one." Wang Cuihua put down the melon seeds and stood up to collect the money.
The father and son used long clamps to clamp the roasted lamb chops and legs onto the chopping board.
Among the customers who had their turn, some wanted one catty and some wanted two catties.
Xu Mingfu cut it off with a knife and weighed his son.
A family of three huddled in a cramped little storefront, sweating profusely from the heat.
Unlike Xu Mingkang, who had a daughter to remind him to pay attention to hygiene, Xu Mingfu didn't know this. He didn't wear a hat or a mask. Sweat dripped down his hair, nose bridge, and chin, and fell on the roasted mutton.
