Happiness System

After the waiter served the food, the family ate and talked together. When they were talking about their happy moments, Fang Yulan blurted out that she wanted Qin Xiaoyun to keep an eye out for anyone in her area who wanted to sell a western-style house this year. Maybe they could even be neighbors.

Qin Huaihua's face froze for a while after hearing this.

He couldn't help but despise himself in his heart. He had such a capable wife, but who gave him the courage to think that his wife would not be able to make it, would soon squander all her fortune and beg for mercy before returning to him, and would be obedient and do his bidding from then on.

While talking about Qin Qinghai's studies and future plans, Qin Huaihua recalled that he was also full of enthusiasm when he was young, and he also thought about taking the path of a literati in the future, but in the end he did not persist.

Otherwise, being a teacher is better than being a clerk. Teachers in good middle schools can earn forty or fifty yuan a month, and university teachers can earn even more, fifty or sixty yuan. If you are a professor, you can at least get eighty or ninety yuan!

"Your conditions now are better than your father's. Your mother and sister are willing to support you. Study hard and try to get into university next year!" Qin Huaihua sighed and patted his eldest son's shoulder.

Fang Yulan couldn't help but roll her eyes at her husband, "Don't listen to your father, you're working hard enough now, you've become a nerd! You should relax now, and when you graduate from high school, you can go abroad to study, and mother can afford it!"

Qin Qinghao didn't want them to quarrel either. "Thank you, Mom. But I still want to go to college first. I'll consider studying abroad after I graduate from college."

After dinner, I went out and although there were fewer people outside, it was still very lively.

They waited for a while before they finally got an empty rickshaw, which happened to be when the driver just stopped in front of the restaurant and got off.

After paying the fare, I saw Qin Huaihua get on the cart and the driver pulled the cart forward while the others carried their things and slowly walked towards the street.

Occasionally, someone would drive into the main street, but the speed was very slow. There were many street vendors and people out playing, and the drivers kept honking their horns, which did nothing except add to the noise.

On the third day of the New Year, Mrs. Zheng and her family next door came back. Qin Xiaoyun took some gifts and went to pay their New Year's greetings, and then she didn't go out again.

However, the two younger ones in the family would come over to report every day, pulling their cousin to play.

On the fifth day of the New Year, Qin Qinghai's family came back from across the street, and Qin Xiaoyun's side became even more lively.

Fortunately, she bought a lot of New Year's goods, otherwise there would be nowhere to buy food, and she would have to take her children to eat out every day.

Regardless of whether Qin Xiaoyun was at home or not, the excitement continued until the children went back to school.

The adults' work also began to get back on track and they became busy again.

Fang Yulan also started learning foreign languages ​​in order to study perfumery. Originally, she wanted to find a teacher to give lessons at home so that he could teach her and the children at the same time.

But the teachers introduced by others were all male teachers. Female teachers who could speak foreign languages ​​were so popular and scarce that it was never her turn!

Even if she and her husband separated, she was still a married woman. Naturally, she had to pay more attention to her reputation than those widows and needed to keep a distance from other men.

Fortunately, there are places outside that specialize in learning foreign languages. There are usually more students in those places, and she, a woman, would feel a little embarrassed to be mixed in with them.

In order to let Hehua accompany her to learn foreign languages, Fang Yulan hired an old maid to do cleaning and odd jobs.

The place where I learn foreign languages ​​is right next to Maria College, and classes start at six in the evening, last three hours a day, and end at nine.

For their mother's safety, Qin Qinghao and Qin Qingjun also signed up for the class, and the four of them went back together after class.

Qin Xiaofu can only be handed over to Qin Xiaoyun.

Fortunately, there were many people at Qin Xiaoyun's place. If she went out and couldn't come back in time to pick up Qin Xiaofu from school, Liu Ma would ride her bicycle to pick her up in person.

Calculate the time when Fang Yulan and the others arrive home and then ask the driver to take her back.

After a few days, Qin Xiaofu got tired of being sent back and forth, and she threw a tantrum and demanded to live in her sister's house.

Qin Xiaoyun naturally let her do what she wanted. The little girl was carefree but very sensible. No matter her sister was at home or not, she would not bring other people to the second floor, and she herself would not enter her sister's room or study without permission.

Especially the eldest cousin's wife Chen Yuling across the street, she likes the little girl here even more. The troublemakers in her family all like the uncles and aunts born to Fang Yulan. As long as the little girl is here, the children will not bother her, and she feels that she has more time to do other things.

In fact, in the soap shop that they opened together, she was the one who took care of it the least and contributed the least.

Chen Leling provided connections, and Fang Yulan, in addition to management, was also able to blend perfumes and develop new soaps. However, she was only busy for a while at the beginning, and then she didn't care much about it. She was embarrassed to receive the dividends!

Fang Yulan didn't know that Chen Yuling would think this way. In her opinion, the soap shop couldn't do without any one of the three of them!

Chen Yuling seemed to be doing nothing, but what she didn't know was that as long as she went to the shop, even if she just sat there doing nothing, the business would be much better.

Chen Leling's status was not suitable for associating with those business wives all day long. Fang Yulan was the illegitimate daughter-in-law who was separated from the family and her husband was a loser. Those wives of status also disdained to associate with her.

On the surface, it was indeed Chen Yuling who was running the shop!

In May, at Qin Xiaoyun's suggestion, the soap shop, which had a single product line, developed new products and put them on the shelves, including scented candles and volatile indoor aromatherapy creams.

Then Fang Yulan started to research perfume again, but due to problems with technology and equipment, even if the perfume was developed, it would not be possible to market it in large quantities.

At the same time, Qin Xiaoyun and his team also expanded their territory. In addition to opening foreign goods trading companies in the other three cities besides the four major cities in Qinzhou, they also opened other shops.

Luo Dalin and the other three were transferred to other places by Qin Xiaoyun, but the intelligence circle was still going on.

Qin Xiaoyun also built a house for the younger brother who was promoted before they left as agreed.

Also in May was the anniversary of old man Qin Wenshan. The Qin family held a grand anniversary celebration and the buffet outside the door was free for three days.

Qin Qinghai and his brothers and sisters did nothing but entertain guests at home.

The next month, Qin Qinghe's marriage was officially decided, and the Qin family would hold the wedding in October.

At the beginning of the year, his second cousin Qin Qingjiang's wife gave birth to another daughter. After the old man's anniversary celebration, his younger brother's marriage was also settled, so he couldn't wait to take in two concubines at the same time.

After hearing the news, Fang Yulan was particularly silent for a few days.

She remembered when she was young, her daughter was only half a year old. Seeing that she did not get pregnant again, Qin Huaihua's aunt couldn't wait to find a concubine for her son.

It was still the Qing Dynasty at that time, and it was normal for men to take concubines, but the Qin family also had no rules for concubines to interfere in the marriage of their children.

Qin Huaihua's aunt went to ask the old lady for help several times, and with Qin Huaihua's consent, the concubine was allowed to enter the house. The following year, her illegitimate son was born when her daughter was less than two years old.

So, how can she let go of those past events!

Even though Qin Huaihua had released his three concubines and remarried them in the past six months, and even though Qin Huaihua had stayed at her place from time to time and acted like a good husband and a good father, she still couldn't let it go!

It's not like she has no children, nor is it like she can't have more children. Qin Huaihua couldn't wait for three years. How could she let it go that her legitimate son is not the eldest son?

Fang Yulan is a person who holds grudges. For a year now, she has not visited the aunt who actively encouraged her husband to take a concubine. She has never even thought about giving her any gifts. She even does not allow her children to visit the concubine.

When she was at her parents' home, she was a cheerful, confident, and sensible girl. It was Qin Huaihua who fell in love with her at first sight when he went there to study and took the initiative to pursue her.

With a sincere heart and full of expectations, she married to Qingzhou where she had no relatives. In less than three years, Qin Huaihua turned her into an extreme, fierce, tyrannical and complaining woman.

If it weren't for the children, she really wouldn't want this man!

Although Qin Xiaoyun was aware of her mother's emotions, she didn't think much about it. After all, people of this age are indeed more prone to menopause, and it is normal to have unstable emotions.

Later, Chen Yuling came to her and asked her to comfort Fang Yulan.

After hearing this, Qin Xiaoyun could no longer look Qin Huaihua in the eye. It turned out that this father had been a scumbag since he was young!

But think about it, a man who has achieved nothing and can't even support himself is trying to have three wives and four concubines. How good can you expect him to be!

She felt sick when she thought about the concubine who came to her with lobbyists. Fortunately, she had never been filial to the concubine because the concubine had been so indifferent to the original owner since she was a child.

Otherwise she will definitely regret it and will definitely want to cause trouble!

No, she wants to make trouble now!

The first thing Qin Xiaoyun did was to ask Liu Ma to bring a locksmith to change the lock of Fang Yulan's apartment; the second thing was to put the new summer clothes made for Qin Huaihua out for sale; the third thing was naturally to stop Qin Huaihua's lunch.

She was extremely regretful now, thinking that Qin Huaihua sending away his concubines was the result of his reflection, and that Fang Yulan had forgiven him. In order to allow him to be in a better state to please Fang Yulan and make her happy, she even had someone deliver soup and meals to Qin Huaihua every day at noon from a good restaurant nearby.

It turns out that her behavior is equivalent to spending more than ten Singapore dollars every month to cause trouble for her mother!

You bastard, go eat shit from now on!

Chen Yuling didn't know that Qin Xiaoyun would be so extreme. After all, she was a native and had different ideas. She always believed that a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold.

According to her idea, she wanted Qin Xiaoyun to persuade Second Aunt to look forward and not dwell on the past.

All the annoying concubines were sent away. Anyway, there was no shortage of money. When the illegitimate sons grew up, they could be raised and sent away with some gifts. The stepmother would let her look after the children there. If she didn't want to, she could just send them back to the ancestral temple!
