CHAPTER 994: CHAPTER 996: GIVE ME A DISCOUNT NEXT TIME

"Impossible." Ji Ying was the first to refute, "It’s not like before; back then she favored her daughter, but now, it seems like she and her daughter are almost enemies. How could she buy good food for Qinghe?"

"Maybe it’s because Jiaojiao is pregnant," Xu Qinghe suggested again.

Ji Ying shook her head, "Also impossible. The one she dotes on most is her grandson. Zhiyuan is nowhere to be found. If she gives anything, it would be to Zhihao, but Zhihao prefers ribs. It’s her who likes pig trotters."

"She might just want to eat them herself."

Xu Qinghe replied casually; he felt no guilt toward his stepmother.

Ji Ying wanted to say, with Liu Sanmei’s stingy nature, even if she wanted to eat them herself, she wouldn’t splurge on such big pig trotters.

Xu Qinghe, worried about the factory matters, hurriedly went off to attend to them.

"Mom, you said you saw Liu Sanmei buying pig trotters today?" Xu Nianhua suddenly asked.

Ji Ying nodded, "Yes, I was chatting with Aunt Xihua and the others, and then I saw her."

"Around eleven o’clock?" Xu Nianhua asked again.

Ji Ying nodded, busy cleaning up the dishes. She asked, "Why are you asking?"

"No reason, just curious," Xu Nianhua said, somehow feeling that Liu Sanmei buying pig trotters wasn’t such a simple matter. Unless, perhaps, it was a windfall.

Xu Nianhua thought about Fang Yue leaving this morning. If she had run into Liu Sanmei, what could Liu Sanmei have done to get money from Fang Yue?

Seventh day of the lunar New Year.

Jin Yuanbao came over joyously, taking charge and helping the Gu Family sell half of their goods. Gu Hai watched as half the warehouse turned into money, and finally let out a long-missing smile.

"Mingzhu, you are truly amazing; you are dad’s proudest daughter," Gu Hai praised. Mingzhu’s friends were genuinely nice. Although they couldn’t solve the fundamental problems of the Gu Family, at least to some extent, they relieved the current predicament.

"Dad, I’m your daughter. I’m happy to be able to help you."

The corner of Gu Mingzhu’s eyes held a smile. On her pale face, that smile moved Gu Hai. He said, "Mingzhu, don’t worry. Dad will definitely cure you."

"Mm," Gu Mingzhu nodded obediently.

...

Hai City.

Xu Nian’an went with Pei Yicheng to Qiquan Electronics again. This time, he wanted to take some goods back. Pei Yicheng was driving a jeep, which had a lot of space in the back. It would be a waste if they came back empty-handed.

Meeting with Boss Xu again, Xu Nian’an took a few watches and flashlights. These items came in many styles and were popular, and also the most practical. He even brought a hairdryer for his little sister. He heard that plugging in a hairdryer could quickly dry hair.

"Did you finish shopping already?" Pei Yicheng looked at the goods he took and silently calculated the car’s capacity, noticing it was only half full.

"Yicheng, I can’t just fill up the whole car space," Xu Nian’an whispered in his ear.

Pei Yicheng glanced at him silently and said, "You can fill it up. Ling Dong and I don’t have anything to buy."

"Alright then."

Xu Nian’an then added a few more radios and hairdryers, estimating it would fill up the car. He finally said, "Boss Xu, if I have the chance to come back for more goods in the future, you must give me a better price."

Xu Nian’an said happily, knowing that taking these goods back could earn him at least a few thousand yuan. This trip was worthwhile, and he hoped for good news from the hospital!
