Chapter 1518: One Breath
Because the cotton mill has now become a private enterprise, it is naturally unlikely that the dirty things in the original drama will happen, and no one dares to take over Song Ying and Lin Wufeng's house.

However, the cotton mill was still agitated by the residential development, and every day there were quarrels over the property. After all, the saying that money can move people's hearts is no joke.

The Wang family next door to the courtyard had a fight with a brother and sister over the house demolition, which had a very bad impact. In the end, the cotton mill directly demolished all the illegal buildings in the mill and announced that the illegal buildings would not be included in the building area.

Soon the entire residential area of the cotton mill was demolished. Seeing the small courtyard in front of them being knocked down by the excavator, Huang Ling and Song Ying felt particularly sad.

Song Ying, who was standing by, helplessly persuaded the sentimental Huang Ling, "Sister Ling, stop looking. We can live in a high-rise building later."

"Oh! After all, I have lived here for so many years. Now that I see it being demolished, I must feel very uncomfortable." However, Huang Ling has placed too much emotion on this place.

However, Song Ying clearly knew that the Cantonese restaurant was the most important. "I feel bad too! But it's no use just being sad here. I should focus on our Cantonese restaurant."

"Oh right! Song Ying, have you found the Cantonese restaurant?"

"Found it! It was your nephew Pengfei who helped find it. He even bought the shop outright. From now on, we only need to pay the rent monthly."

"That's fine! Now we have something to do, so we don't have to dwell on it anymore."

"Sister Ling, we have so much to do next. Just the renovation, hiring, and buying pots, pans, and materials alone are enough to tire us both out."

Then Huang Ling and Song Ying no longer cared about the demolition of the cotton mill. Instead, they devoted themselves to the Cantonese restaurant. With Pengfei's assistance, they were able to prepare in an orderly manner soon.

Now, Lin Wufeng and Lin Dongzhe, father and son, have both resigned from their jobs in Guangzhou and returned to Suzhou. Their work in Suzhou is going very smoothly. The Lin family has thus ended their wandering life.

……

Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting both have stable jobs, and thinking that Suning is now too lazy to pay attention to them, Zhuang's father and mother are unwilling to accept this and want to make trouble again.

However, Zhuang Ganmei didn't dare to go over and provoke Suning. After all, Suning's warning to him was still vivid in his mind, so he just asked his parents to be careful with the method.

The old man, Zhuang's father, looked at Zhuang Ganmei with an unwilling expression and asked, "Ganmei, the last time you saw your eldest brother, what did he say to you?"

Thinking of Su Ning's expression at that time made Zhuang Ganmei feel particularly depressed. "What else can he say? He just warned me not to go to him and told me to go to Pengfei if I have any problems."

"How did he become like this? It's really hateful." Sure enough, hearing this made Zhuang's father and mother indignant.

"Mom and Dad, my eldest brother has completely changed. You'd better not go and provoke him. If you really make him angry, you may not get your monthly living expenses in the future."

"Hmph! Don't worry! We're not going to Shanghai to look for him. We'll call Tunan and ask him to come back for dinner. Then we'll teach Tunan a lesson and make sure he doesn't become as heartless and ungrateful as his father."

"That's good! Tunan is indeed a relatively honest child, but Pengfei and Xiaoting are not so good."

Receiving the call from their grandparents naturally gave Zhuang Tuanan and the other children a headache, but they had no way of refusing their invitation, after all, this was the annual family dinner.

After arriving at my grandparents' house, my grandparents changed their behavior and treated these promising children very well.

Their faces all looked kind and gentle. They gave red envelopes to the children at the dinner table, and Zhennan and Zhenbei received the least.

The Hualin couple also came back. Because their child was doing well and earning more, Hualin had the confidence to speak. However, she was very grateful and thankful to her elder brother and sister-in-law.

Lin Dongzhe received a red envelope of 20 yuan, which was the most among the children. Zhuang Tunan only received yuan.

Sure enough, before they had even taken a few bites of the food, Grandpa started lecturing Zhuang Tunan, "Tunan, Pengfei, you're both successful now, but you have to take good care of Zhennan and Zhenbei!"

"..."

Before Zhuang Tunan could respond, Pengfei on the side responded rudely, "Grandpa, what you said is meaningless. Don't I pay for your living expenses every month?"

"Pengfei, isn't it better to ask your relatives to help you?" Sure enough, Zhuang's father and mother's faces froze and they asked unhappily.

"Humph! I'm afraid they won't come to help us, but instead run over to cause trouble for us."

"you……"

"Grandpa, people always say that loving mothers often spoil their children. I think the reason why Zhennan and Zhenbei are like this is entirely because of your and my uncle's pampering of them. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so arrogant and incompetent now."

As expected, Pengfei's accusations made Zhuang's parents embarrassed. "Pengfei, what's wrong? Now that you're rich? Are you disrespecting us, your grandparents?"

Pengfei, however, looked at Zhuang's parents pointedly and warned them, "Grandpa, I advise you not to mess around, or I'll cut off your living expenses. You two can go and cause trouble wherever you want, and then I'll tell you all about your ugly deeds."

"you……"

At this time, Zhuang's mother looked at Zhuang Hualin, who was eating melons, with an angry face, "Hualin, look at what kind of son you have raised?"

"Mom and Dad, I think what Pengfei said is right. If you guys just behave yourself and don't cause trouble, we won't have to make things too ugly. Otherwise, don't blame us for falling out with you."

"..."

Zhuang Tunan, who was standing by, saw what had happened and left using the excuse that he had a fever. This was how the family was able to return home early. Otherwise, they didn't know what their grandparents would say and they might even end up fighting.

Zhuang Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe bought a new house in Pudong, but it was far from where they worked. However, the layout and environment were good, and they planned to treat it as an investment.

However, the two had a quarrel over the decoration. Because they were busy with work, they had no time to go to Shanghai and naturally had no time to decorate the house. The two called Zhuang Tunan to complain. Later, Zhuang Tunan bought the house from them, which solved the dilemma of the couple.

However, the housing market became increasingly hot, and Zhuang Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe immediately bought a new house in Pudong. Finally, Zhuang Tunan, who often lived in Shanghai, was responsible for their decoration.

……

The current policy has changed, and housing is distributed according to household registration, so Li Jia decided to fight for her brother. After all, no matter how little money is, it belongs to Wenwen. She thinks that one has to actively fight for the benefits.

Li Jia went to fight with her uncle and aunt for Wenwen's house. She knew there would be a quarrel, but when the moment really came, she almost cried with anger.

Her uncle and aunt refused to give in, and her grandparents didn't side with her family either, but her decision would not change. She was determined to sue her uncle and aunt's family and see how the court would decide.

Li Jia's uncle and aunt looked at Li Jia, who was wearing designer clothes, with some confusion. "Li Jia, you're already a wealthy wife now. Is it interesting to fight with us for such a small profit?"

"This originally belongs to Wenwen's interests. Why do you occupy it and not give it to us? If you hadn't been so ruthless and ungrateful, would our family have been displaced?" However, Li Jia believed that this was something he had to fight for.

Li Jia's uncle and aunt said nonchalantly, "Why? Is it fun to look through those old almanacs now?"

"Hmph! Uncle and aunt, I'll never forget the way you looked back then. I'm determined to fight you in this lawsuit. I want to see if your ugly faces will be despised by others."

"Li Jia, don't forget that you signed a contract with us back then."

"Simple! Let the court decide whether the agreement is legally binding."

"You..." In fact, Li Jia's parents and brother did not approve of Li Jia's behavior. After all, their family now has a better and bigger house, and Suning also helped them solve the Shanghai household registration problem. At present, they really don't care about these small profits that should belong to them.

However, Li Jia was determined to get back at it. What happened back then was an eternal pain for her. No matter how rich she was, it was impossible for her to compromise with these relatives again.

Helpless Wenwen actually found the big brother-in-law, "Brother-in-law, can you persuade my sister? It's not nice to quarrel with my uncle and aunt like this, and it's also very difficult for my grandparents to be caught in the middle."

"Wenwen, do you really not understand why your sister does this?" However, Su Ning looked at his brother-in-law in front of him and asked indifferently.

"I..." As expected, Wenwen was stunned by Suning's question.

"Wenwen, now you can imagine what your sister's experience and ending would be like if I hadn't appeared in the past."

"This……"

"You consider your uncle, aunt, grandparents as your family, but do they consider you as their relatives?"

"..."

"Wenwen, you can't forget the hardships and difficulties you went through in the past just because you live a wealthy life now. Don't let your sister down."

"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry! I was inconsiderate."

"The policy has changed now. Housing is allocated based on household registration. Even if you're allocated a toilet, it belongs to you, Wenwen. Do you understand?"

At this time, Li Wenwen nodded, not quite understanding, "Brother-in-law, I understand. I will never speak on the side of my uncle and aunt again."

Finally, Suning looked at his brother-in-law and gave him a warning, "Well, go apologize to your sister. She is very strict about it."

"Oh."

By New Year's Day, the house issue had come to an end, and the house that belonged to Wenwen was also obtained.

It was a rare occasion for Li Jia to celebrate the festival with her family, which made Suning look at her with admiration. He didn't expect that even after such a mess, they could still sit together for dinner.

In order to support Li Jia, Suning naturally had to go along as well. He couldn't bear to see others bullying his wife.

But after arriving at Li Jia's grandparents' house, he heard the uncle and aunt's various dissatisfactions with Li Jia. They all said that the richer Li Jia became, the more stingy he became.

At this moment, Suning looked at the evildoer in front of him with a look of disapproval and asked, "Uncle, Auntie, I don't agree with this. This is a benefit provided by the policy to every citizen. You can't keep taking more than you deserve, right?"

"Huh? Chaoying, you misunderstood. That's not what we meant." Li Jia's uncle and aunt both looked unnatural and hurriedly explained.

Suning believes that everything is because Li Jia's grandparents did not treat them equally. "In fact, I think parents should treat everyone equally. This old house was originally rented by grandpa, and the two families should each have half of the rights and interests. But they treated Li Jia's family like beggars. I think what you did is really too much."

At this time, the uncle and aunt were still brooding over the fact that Suning was the world's richest man. "But...but you are so rich now, is it meaningful to fight with us for such a small profit?"

"Interesting! Very interesting! Our family has money, and that's our own business. We deserve every penny of the benefits we deserve. It's our freedom to decide whether we want it or not, but you absolutely cannot take more than you deserve."

"..."

Suning's words naturally made Li Jia's uncle and aunt feel uncomfortable, but Suning just didn't want them to be comfortable, just because they had been too comfortable before.

Li Jia now has a strong desire for a house. Although she is no longer short of money, she still bought houses in several districts of Shanghai. Suning also supports her behavior because they know that she regards the house as her sense of security.

"Brother, thank you! I know if it weren't for me, you would definitely not bother with my uncle and aunt."

"I certainly can't allow them to bully my woman."

"Brother, I bought a lot of houses outside. Do you have any objections?"

"How could that be! Shanghai's housing prices will only get higher and higher. Buying a house now is the most cost-effective investment."

"really?"

"Really? Didn't you see the difference in housing prices before and after the Shanghai Pudong New Area was established? This is a very obvious investment signal."

"Great! Then I'll keep buying houses."

"Haha, as long as you're happy, that's fine. Or you could just set up a real estate company. That way, all the profits from development to sales will belong to you. It's definitely much more cost-effective than buying one or two houses."

"Brother, can I really do this?"

"Of course, no problem! From now on, I'll focus on technology and manufacturing, so it's a good opportunity for you to take charge of the golden industry of real estate."

"Thank you, brother."

……

Nowadays, Song Ying and Huang Ling’s Cantonese restaurant business in Suzhou is very popular. The two women run the Cantonese restaurant in full swing, and they feel that their life is much better than working as female workers in a cotton mill.

The development of the cotton mill was also a good progress. Both families lived in high-rise buildings, which was very convenient in every way.

One day, Song Ying suddenly approached Huang Ling with a mysterious look on her face and whispered, "Sister Ling, have you seen the secretary next to Zhuang Chaoying?"

"Huh? I've seen her a few times! But I'm not very familiar with her." Huang Ling looked at Song Ying in surprise and responded.

At this moment, Song Ying explained with a troubled look on her face, "But why do I feel like she looks so much like someone?"

"Who?"

"Wu Shanshan from Old Wu's family."

"Nonsense! How could Susan be Wu Shanshan? They don't look alike at all."

"Sister Ling, although Susan and Shanshan look nothing alike, their figures and heights are exactly the same, and their facial shapes are similar. I still feel this is too much of a coincidence."

"Song Ying, I think you must be crazy. This Susan has been with Zhuang Chaoying for many years. It seems that this Susan had already appeared when Li Jiayi was pregnant. Was Shanshan still in Suzhou at that time?"

"Huh? Did I really make a mistake?"

"You must be mistaken! But I don't know where Wu Shanshan went. It's a sin to have a father like Old Wu and a brother like Xiaojun."
