1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 157 Quarrel
He Jinqiu takes her children back to her parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year every year.

Although my parents on my mother's side have passed away a long time ago, I still have a good relationship with my older brother, so I want to give him some gifts and visit him.

The family business made money this year, and He Jinqiu was very generous. She gave her eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law a set of clothes each, as well as homemade smoked pork, sugar, wine, and biscuits bought in town, and canned fruit that her son specially asked the bus driver to bring back. She brought some of all of them.

Meng Fude did not go back to her mother's home this time, but He Jinqiu took her two daughters and granddaughter.

On the He family's side, several brothers and sisters gathered together, with the eldest brother's house as the center.

In the past, He Sejun was the most prominent in such occasions. After all, she married well, had a sewing machine at home, and made clothes in the commune. She could earn work points just by sitting there, and was the envy of her sisters.

But this time the situation is different.

Because of the open society, the Meng family also started to do business. They opened a shop in the town and hired workers. They were doing very well and were considered to have made a name for themselves.

Although He Saijun also changed from a tailor stall to a shop, everyone is watching and her business is not as good as that of the Meng family.

Moreover, although no one knew the details of what kind of business Jose Jun was doing and what methods he used with his partner named Ye, they all knew that it was all in line with the Meng family.

The He sisters usually don't get along well, and everyone knows that.

But no matter how bad their relationship is, they are still sisters of the same blood. You can't make such shameful money!
This time, on the second day of the Chinese New Year, He Saijun went back to his mother's home alone and left early.

The gifts she brought were also pretty good, including clothes, candies and cakes. She was considered generous among all the relatives.

However, the eldest brother of the He family had a calm attitude and was trying to persuade her not to do things that would make others gossip about her.

Jose brought back so many things, but didn't get a single word of praise and was even criticized by others, so naturally he was unhappy.

Just at this time, the Meng family arrived.

What a coincidence, He Jinqiu also made clothes for her brother and sister-in-law.

By comparing the clothes of the two companies, you can immediately tell which one is better and more high-end.

In the past, whenever Jose returned to his mother's home, even if he brought a piece of cloth, he would be lifted up by his cousins.

This time everyone said that she was thoughtful and still remembered her brother and sister-in-law from her mother's side, and started to surround the Meng family.

Jose was left out, and his already bad mood became even worse. He almost gritted his teeth looking at the mother and daughter.

Jose-kun hates it too!

Ever since she started a business with the Ye family, her life has been up and down. She hasn't made much money and has had a lot of troubles.

In fact, even if Ye Pingshun hadn't approached her, He Saijun was planning to open her own shop.

After all, she didn't like others walking in front of her, especially her sister He Jinqiu.

But she is a little timid. Before the policy was opened up, she had ideas but did not dare to act. Now that it is open, the Ye family just happened to come to her.

The two hit it off immediately, quickly reached an agreement, and developed a careful plan.

He Saijun is responsible for production, and the Ye family finds ways to obtain other people's supplies and sell them to the outside world.

At first, Jose thought that after opening a shop and hiring someone, she could become a real master chef, sitting with a cup of tea in hand and feet up every day, and making a lot of money just by giving others some pointers. It would definitely be more comfortable than being a tailor herself.

Who would have thought that the road to opening a store would not be smooth, and the Meng family would directly confront them.

They have tried many tricks, but they are always suppressed by others and cannot make money even if they learn from them.

Originally, Jose thought that as long as his business was successful, he would immediately open a branch and let his two sons run it so that the whole family could make money. Who knew it would turn out like this.

Because she hadn't made any money and couldn't recoup her pre-opening investment, this Lunar New Year wasn't going to be a good one for Jose. Last night, she had a fight with her husband over this matter. Today, she went back to her parents' house alone, feeling quite angry. First, she was scolded by her eldest brother, and then the Meng family stole the spotlight. She couldn't contain her anger, and she started to speak sarcastically about Meng Changli.

Why didn’t you bring her with you when you went to Nancheng this time? You got such good materials but didn’t even share any with her. You only cared about making money and didn’t care about family ties at all.

Meng Changli originally wanted to just annoy He Saijun. It would not look good to have a quarrel in someone else's home during the New Year. Who knew that this guy would be so shameless.

Meng Changli didn't tolerate her either.

"Aunt, it's not that I'm selfish and don't want to help you, it's that you're too ignorant to actually do business with the Ye family.

Didn't you ask before you agreed to this?

Not to mention my Meng family, even Meng Changli and Ye Pingshun have quarreled by pointing at each other's noses.

You are teaming up with their family, aren't you just trying to mess with us?

It is precisely because of our relationship that I can sit down and have dinner with you calmly. If it were someone else, I would have slapped her long ago."

Meng Changli's words are so irritating!

When Jose heard this, he slammed the table and the two of them started arguing.

Just talking about the business between the two families, He Saijun would definitely not be able to win the argument with Meng Changli. After all, what she did would be disgusting to anyone.

He Saijun also understood, and after a few words he started to make personal attacks, saying that Meng Changli deserved to be divorced, that she was too aggressive and unfilial, and that was why Huang Jialin was looking for someone outside.

Before she told him these things, He Jinqiu just looked at her coldly without saying anything. But as soon as she told him these things, He Jinqiu got angry and slapped her twice in front of all the relatives.

Jose-kun looked at his sister in disbelief, "You hit me?"

Jose has never taken this honest and dull sister seriously since he was a child.

But now, she hit herself.

He Jinqiu pointed at her angrily and said, "I wanted to beat you up back then."

When He Saijun heard this, he laughed, "Sister, you're so proud too? You're so proud of yourself for making some money!

Yes, money makes the world go round, this thing is indeed a good thing.

But so what?

Look at the current state of your family. Chang Li is divorced. How shameful it is. She will have to raise two children for the rest of her life and no one will want her.

As for Shulan, she didn't pass the entrance exam last year, and I think it's pointless to go back this year. She's not focused on her studies, and she's just trying to find a partner. If she'd found a classmate, someone with talent and connections, it would be fine, but look at the guy she found? The guy next door, the peasant with the elderly and children, a burden on his family, can't even find a wife.

What a grown-up girl, still a high school student, with such a vision, must she have been stupid because of reading too much!

Sister, I heard you agreed, when will you treat us to a meal?..."

He Saijun still thought that He Jinqiu knew about the affair between Meng Shulan and Gu Hansong, after all, it had spread throughout the village.

How could she know that He Jinqiu had been kept in the dark for various reasons.

So before Jose could finish his words, he was slapped again.

He Jinqiu said she was talking nonsense and deliberately ruining her daughter's reputation.
