One-cent ice packs, two-cent popsicles, and fifty-cent ice creams, whether it was Xu Wanning or Lin Quan's mother, as long as they saw that there were only a few left in the refrigerator, they would move whole boxes of them home.

Not only the children love to eat it, Xu Wanning also loves to eat it.

She is not a greedy person, but when she reads, she often likes to eat a popsicle or ice cream, which makes her feel much cooler.

The children were not greedy because they never lacked food. Xu Wanning stipulated that each person could eat no more than two pieces of food a day, and they refused to eat more.

Even if it was a whole box of popsicles, it would only cost four or five yuan at most. This amount of money was nothing to the Lin family nowadays. Since the children wanted to share with their friends, she certainly would not refuse.

At night, after Lin Quan came back, he heard about Chu Nian's incident and felt a little upset.

"I haven't paid enough attention to my children lately."

"Of course! Your sister-in-law just came back from Ji Province. She only took a few glances at Chu Nian and noticed that Chu Nian was not in a good mood. You are a mother, but you didn't notice Chu Nian's abnormality at all?"

Lin Quan's lips moved slightly, and she softly defended herself: "I've been too busy recently..."

"Being busy is not an excuse! Isn't your sister-in-law busier than you? Although she doesn't spend much time with the children, she can at least detect any abnormality in the children at the first time. What about you?"

"Lin Quan, move from Heilongjiang Province to Beijing City and let the children live with your brother and sister-in-law. Firstly, your sister-in-law is worried about you and your widow living outside. Secondly, she hopes that the children can spend more time with each other. Even if they are cousins, their relationship will be as deep as that of real siblings in the future!"

"But this is not a reason for you to shirk your responsibilities and ignore Chu Nian and Chu Lin!"

After being scolded by Lin's mother, Lin Quan still quietly defended herself: "I didn't ignore them. They are my children. How could I ignore them? Besides, I give them pocket money every day and even buy things for them..."

"What children need is their mother's company and love, not money and material things! Lin Quan, Lin Quan, Chu Nian Chu Lin is different from other children, especially Chu Nian. She has been suppressed by the Dai family since she was a child. Later, when Dai Wei became like that, she felt even more stressed. She would scare herself at the slightest disturbance."

"Logically, at a time like this, you as a mother should be there to comfort her, but you are the one who is doing this. The child has been upset for two days, and you didn't even know about it?"

Lin Quan was indeed unaware of the situation. She came home very late from get off work every day and went back to her bedroom after dinner. The children were either playing in the yard or doing their homework in the bedroom. The contact between mother and daughter was indeed very little.

Lin Quan never thought there was anything wrong with this, as the children were growing up healthily anyway.

But after hearing what her mother said, Lin Quan belatedly realized how much of a failure she was as a mother.

She completely forced the responsibility of raising and caring for the child onto Xu Wanning and Lin's mother!

The children still love her now, but in fact their dependence on her is far less than that on Xu Wanning.

Lin Quan would not be jealous, after all, even she depended on Xu Wanning.

But she is the mother of these children after all, and her behavior is really unacceptable!

"Mom, I know I was wrong. I will have a good talk with Chu Nian."

Mother Lin glared at her and said, "It's good that you know you're wrong! Girls only have a few years to grow up. Chu Nian didn't have a father to begin with, and you, as a mother, can't take care of her. If the child has any psychological problems in the future, will you regret it?"

Not to mention the future, Lin Quan already regrets enough now.

She found that after arriving in Beijing, because she no longer had to worry about making a living and there were more people taking care of the children, Lin Quan paid less and less attention to her two children.

In terms of material things, she certainly did not treat her two children badly, but are the children just asking for material compensation?

The two children already had no father, and she, as a mother, did not give them enough care. It was only a matter of time before the children had mental health problems.

After being scolded by Lin's mother, Lin Quan went to the children's bedroom and had a frank chat with them.

"During this period, mommy really didn't care enough about you. In a sense, I am not a qualified mother. You hate me and blame me. I understand and accept your blame. But I have deeply realized my mistakes. I will work hard to be a better mother in the future. If there is anything I do not do well enough, you must tell me in time, okay?"

The next day at noon, after lunch, Xu Wanning went to Huanxi Boutique again.

She gave Chen Qiaoqiao a night to buffer, and believed that Chen Qiaoqiao had adjusted her mentality now.

Because of the summer vacation, the boutique's business was not as good as when the school started, but there were still two or three customers in the store, and Chen Qiaoqiao and Tang Ting were fully able to handle it.

After seeing off the last guest, Tang Ting, Chen Qiaoqiao and Xu Wanning sat together to have lunch, but both of them looked a little worried.

"What's wrong? You don't look very interested?"

Tang Ting first picked up the water cup and took a big sip of water, then said: "Wan Ning, our business has suddenly become very bad."

"During the summer vacation, the flow of people will decrease, which is normal."

"No, this is not normal!" Tang Ting shook her head and said in a serious tone: "Before Qiaoqiao went home, our boutique was still open for business for a while. Although business is not as good as when school started, at most there are only one-third fewer customers. After all, our boutique has already become famous, and many people from other places come here to buy things."

"But from the time we opened yesterday afternoon until now, we've only had seven customers."

These seven customers are those who have made transactions. As for those who have come into the store, there are more than ten of them.

"We consoled ourselves at first, thinking that many people might not know we were open, so it might take two days for business to pick up. But today we met a customer who said that several boutiques had opened in Xidan, so many people would rather go there to buy things."

Xidan is considered a relatively prosperous area nowadays, after all, the Friendship Store is located on that street.

Moreover, Xidan has a relatively advantageous geographical location, with many factories surrounding it.

Compared to the location of Huanxi Boutique, it is much more convenient for the female factory workers to go to Xidan to buy things than to go to Huanxi Boutique, which saves a lot of travel time.
