Happiness System

The powerful ladies in Qingcheng looked down on her status as a divorced woman, but at the same time they could not do without the clothes she designed.

Even those families that had to give the Qin family a break would often ask Qin Xiaoyun to serve them. Even if the patterns they chose were from a picture album, they would still ask her to modify and adjust them.

Not to mention Qin Xiaoyun, even Qin Huairong, the head of the Qin family, could only stand aside and smile obediently.

Otherwise, why do people with a little ambition from ancient times to the present want to climb into the circle of fame and fortune?

If you have money but no power, you may lose it at any time, but on the other hand, if you have power, you will definitely not lack money.

"A clean magistrate earns 100,000 silver coins in three years", this is not a rumor that comes out of thin air.

At the end of the year, there are places where socializing is needed. There is Liu Xundong at the foreign goods trading company, and Qin Huairong and his son at the Qin family. But as a junior, Qin Xiaoyun also has to go around delivering New Year gifts to the elders.

Fang Yulan ordered two sets of ready-made clothes for each of the four of them from the clothing shop. The price was not expensive, and the shop only charged her for the fabric. Moreover, she placed the order early so that it would not delay the shop's business during the peak season during the New Year.

Also, just ask Liu Ma to send one portion over there when she buys New Year’s goods.

She still needs to think about the old house and those uncles and aunts.

When she and Liu Ma were taking the gift list for the final confirmation, Qin Huaihua's concubine, Hu, came over with her children.

It was not difficult to find out where Qin Xiaoyun lived, but she did not expect that the first person to come to her father's side was the favorite concubine.

According to the information she had obtained, after the mistress left with her children, this woman considered herself the legal wife. Qin Huaihua also gave her the power to manage the household, making her control the financial lifeline of the family and suppressing the other two concubines and their children.

Qin Xiaoyun naturally knew why they came. The twins, a boy and a girl, born to Mrs. Hu, had just turned seventeen, and the girl, her half-sister, had already been engaged and was about to get married.

The mother and her sons came here either to show off or to ask for money!

After finishing the things at hand, Qin Xiaoyun asked Liu Ma to call Qin Huaihua before she walked away.

"Did the sun rise from the west today? Aunt Hu still remembered to bring her brothers and sisters to give a New Year's greeting to a sister like me?"

Knowing that the mother and her two children might have come here without telling Qin Huaihua, who was a good face, Qin Xiaoyun looked at them with a smile, then sat down in the main seat.

Mrs. Hu, who didn't even bring half a melon seed, was embarrassed and spoke even more politely, "Oh, after Xiaoyun's divorce, she relied on the eldest master and the eldest young master and her temper really got worse. Her temper got worse, and she can't behave well in the world.

Not only did they make the elders wait for such a long time, but they also spoiled the servants to be so unruly. Forget the fruit plate, they didn't even serve the hot tea!

Could it be that he only wanted to show off and spent all his dowry money on a Western-style house, leaving him with no money left to buy New Year goods and snacks?

Even the guard dogs have to be fed. I heard that you have been fawning over the young master and going to the newly opened clothing store...

No way? The young master is reluctant to reward you with a few melons and dates?"

Mrs. Hu had never shown the slightest respect to Qin Xiaoyun, the eldest daughter. After becoming inflated during this period of time, she even regarded herself as the official elder. In her mind, she was showing respect by just stepping into the door. How could she bring anything for Qin Xiaoyun!

As soon as she finished speaking, Pan'er came over with Li Ma, who was doing odd jobs, carrying tea.

Pan'er hated Mrs. Hu very much. In the past, Mrs. Hu often bullied the eldest daughter in private, but the eldest daughter was unwilling to complain because she didn't want to upset the lady!

This would be a chance to win back the game, so she naturally did it more obviously. She directly asked Uncle Zhang for some coarse tea, and brewed it for them in ordinary ceramic teacups.

As for Qin Xiaoyun's tea, no matter how good the tea is, anyone who knows what's good can tell that it's the best purple clay teapot!

Mrs. Hu felt that she was discriminated against and wanted to smash the cup in anger. When she met Qin Xiaoyun's cold eyes, her heart tightened. Then she thought of her purpose and calmed down.

She was thinking about taking the opportunity to vent her anger and ask for a huge amount of money, but no one gave her the chance.

Chen Yuling walked in, looked at Hu and sneered, "What a great prestige! You actually dared to run to the master's house and bark like a dog, and you're not afraid of being beaten to death!

I don’t know how many pounds of garlic I ate so early in the morning, my breath stinks!

How dare a lowly thing like you call yourself an elder? Who gave you the face?

Who is my sister Yun? What is her identity? You guys are just flirtatious women who only know how to flatter men, and you still want to be interested in those little melons and dates.

You are such an ignorant person, can't you see that one piece of my sister's casual clothes is worth several months' expenses of your whole family?"

She cursed without even taking a breath, then turned around and looked at Qin Xiaoyun disapprovingly and said, "You are just too soft-tempered. Why did you let someone like this in?"

"Pan'er, quickly bring a cup of hot tea to the eldest young lady!" Qin Xiaoyun helped Chen Yuling sit down, "Sister-in-law, the people below don't know about this, and they thought it was really an elder of the family and let him in. I will ask Aunt Liu to talk to them in detail later, and they will know next time."

In front of Chen Yuling, the mother and her two sons were like mice seeing a cat, not daring to move at all.

Seeing that the aunt and sister-in-law ignored them and started chatting, Hu's daughter was not as calm as her. She was only thinking about her dowry.

Thinking of using a generous dowry to slap her husband's family in the face, she became bolder.

Seeing that the two sisters-in-law were chatting intimately, she shouted at Qin Xiaoyun in a bad mood: "Hey, I'm getting married next month, take out your dowry and give it to me as a dowry, otherwise my brother and I will not support you in the future!"

Qin Xiaoyun covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed as she fell into Chen Yuling's arms, "Sister-in-law, listen to this, a concubine's daughter not only covets the legitimate daughter's dowry, but also wants to support the legitimate daughter!

It's so funny!

Support me? Hahahaha...

My own younger brother is about to grow up. I can't count on my own brother who is awarded honors every year, but why should I count on my half brother who is less than two years older than him and has accomplished nothing?

so funny!

I have my mother and younger brother to support me. If worst comes to worst, I still have my eldest cousin and the Qin family!

Can anyone step on my head and threaten me to stop supporting me?"

Chen Yuling looked at the mother and her two children as if they were idiots, not giving them any chance to perform. She waved her hand and said to the people behind her, "Who dares to act like a fool here? Get out!"

When Qin Huaihua arrived, Mrs. Hu was sitting on the ground and cursing loudly in a completely ungraceful manner.

Feeling the inquiring gazes from all directions, he rushed over in a fit of rage, picked up Hu and slapped her hard in the face.

Aunt Liu, who had been paying attention to the movements outside the door, walked out at this time. She recounted in a dignified manner everything that the Hu mother and son had said and done.

This was undoubtedly a slap in the face for Qin Huaihua, who was very concerned about his reputation. Seeing that Hu was still not convinced and wanted to continue making trouble, Qin Huaihua kicked her hard.

"If you dare to continue to embarrass yourself outside, get out of here and never come back! And the two of you, just follow your aunt. I don't lack illegitimate children!"

After Qin Huaihua finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and turned away.

Before Hu could even cry out in pain and pretend to be dead, she was frightened by him. Seeing that he was really angry, she immediately cried and shouted for her son and daughter to help her chase after him.

Qin Xiaoyun did not show up from beginning to end. She sent Chen Yuling out only after she saw that things were quiet outside.

"I've already told people to keep the rare items for you to choose first, and the rest will be put outside for sale. When you're free, just go over and choose."

Chen Yuling came here to ask if there were any good foreign goods that she could send back with the New Year gifts to please her mother-in-law. She also didn't want to be embarrassed by her mother-in-law's cold face when all the families gathered together during the New Year.

But her worries were unnecessary. Qin Qinghe was going to look for a wife this year. If Aunt Qin wanted to find a wife that her youngest son liked, she wouldn't dare to make trouble at this time.

In addition, people are often more famous when they are far away than when they are close. Chen Yuling's elder brother is doing well in the government office and was promoted to a higher level this year.

Apart from not listening to her mother-in-law and moving out to live on her own, Chen Yuling would bring her children back to pay respects on the first and fifteenth days of every month and was also very filial to her parents. There was nothing wrong with her.

As long as Aunt Qin had a clear mind, she would not find fault at this time.

After agreeing to go back to the old house to give New Year gifts, Chen Yuling went back.

Before returning to the old house, Qin Xiaoyun went to Fang Yulan first.

Qin Xiaoyun paid for Qin Qinghao's summer study tour. In winter, Fang Yulan, who knew that the teacher was also planning to take students abroad and had earned money in the second half of the year, was not stingy and immediately gave him the money.

Qin Qinghao hasn't come back yet, but he said he would be back before New Year's Eve.

Fang Yulan was also at home preparing the New Year gifts. Originally, it was Qin Qinghao, the eldest son, who should have delivered them, but he came back too late, and they still had to go back to the old house to have the New Year's Eve dinner that day!

She had no choice but to divide and pack up all the things, and she took the time to take her second son Qin Qingjun to deliver it.

"Mom, are you going to deliver the New Year gifts? Do you need a car?"

Hearing Qin Xiaoyun's voice, Fang Yulan quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Why are you here? You don't even know how to make a phone call. What if you get nothing?"

"I'm giving you New Year gifts. This is my own home. Don't I have the key when you're not home?"

As she said that, she asked Pan'er to open the package and let Fang Yulan see what was inside.

The first package opened was new clothes. Fang Yulan couldn't take her eyes off them. "Oh, why are they making new clothes for us again? Are they new patterns made by the Qin's clothing store?

This is precious!

Mrs. Zou next door told me yesterday that fortunately she didn't hesitate. I thought about it last week and rushed to get the money. After I ordered the clothes, I heard that Qin's clothing store was full of orders before the New Year!

The ladies around here wouldn't even bother to go there to make one or two pieces a year, but you're willing to make them for me and your brothers and sisters."

"It doesn't cost much if we make it ourselves!"

Qin Xiaoyun asked Hehua to take Pan'er to deliver a can of foreign milk powder and two boxes of snacks from Pinzhenzhai to Mrs. Zou next door. Then she told Fang Yulan that she had also prepared a New Year gift for Qin Huaihua, and told her about the incident where the Hu mother and son went to her place to cause trouble.
