Rebirth: I became rich by farming

Chapter 643: Chapter 643 Complaining (4/5)

After dinner, everyone went home, leaving only the siblings Mei Mengzhen and Chenchen, as well as Wang Qiuhe at the house. Mengzhen felt quite lonely, missing the hustle and buzz of the past. She sprawled on the sofa, lazily watching television, when not long after, a freshly showered Qiuhe came over and curiously began to inquire, "Sister Zhenzhen, can I ask you something?"

Mengzhen gave her a glance. Honestly, Qiuhe did look a bit more pleasant than when she first arrived, but one’s nature is hard to change, and no matter how big the change, a moment of inattention could reveal it all again, and that disagreeable appearance truly repulsed Mengzhen. Moreover, she felt that nothing good would come from Qiuhe’s mouth. She didn’t want to bother with her, but Qiuhe kept pestering her, so she replied, "Go ahead, but I might not know the answer."

Qiuhe wasn’t upset by the response and said, "Actually, Brother Tianyu is the boss of Xiyuan, right? Sister Tianhua is working for Brother Tianyu, and you’re also part-time for Brother Tianyu, aren’t you? The compensation he gives must be decent, otherwise it wouldn’t be enough to support yourself and Chenchen."

Having spoken her suspicions, the answer was definitely wrong. Mengzhen didn’t want to deal with her and just gave her a faint glance, but she felt that Qiuhe might have more to say, so she followed up with, "So what?"

Upon hearing Mengzhen’s reply, it was enough to excite Qiuhe. Though those three words weren’t a definite answer, Mengzhen hadn’t said ’no.’ So maybe, just maybe, Fan Tianyu was the boss of Xiyuan. With an air of having figured it all out, Qiuhe said, "I knew it, my guess was indeed correct, Brother Tianyu is really the boss of Xiyuan."

"Who told you he’s the boss?"

Qiuhe was taken aback with joy and asked, "Sister Zhenzhen, about what you just said..."

"What about what I just said? I didn’t say Brother Tianyu is the boss of Xiyuan, and he really isn’t the boss of Xiyuan, either."

Her words were also not wrong; Xiyuan didn’t have just one single boss, and Fan Tianyu was merely one of the several bosses, primarily responsible for managing Xiyuan Restaurant. However, Xiyuan had many sectors, and Qiuhe’s assumption that Fan Tianyu was the boss of the entire Xiyuan was originally incorrect. Therefore, her response was without issue.

Qiuhe felt that Mengzhen was lying and said discontentedly, "Sister Zhenzhen, there’s no need to hide it from me; I won’t tell my family."

"I’m not hiding it from you, I’m being honest. We just work for someone else and earn a fixed wage. If you insist on calling him the boss, then so be it, but if you ask me, I’ll definitely say no."

Qiuhe couldn’t hide the disappointment in her eyes. She had thought Fan Tianyu had made a fortune in Jiangcheng, but it turned out he was just another wage earner.

Instantly losing interest in Tianyu, Qiuhe said, "I thought Brother Tianyu had made money and became successful, that he could lead his family to wealth. It turns out he’s still so unaccomplished."

Mengzhen felt a tinge of mockery in her heart. How could she, who hadn’t even passed high school, accuse others of being unaccomplished? Where did she get such nerve?

Mengzhen, not wanting to argue with her, spoke indifferently, "Qiuhe, your Brother Tianyu isn’t a rich second-generation, his family didn’t provide any financial support, how could he possibly start a business and become a boss right after graduating from college? And how old is your Brother Tianyu? He’s only been a graduate for two years. How many kids from ordinary families become bosses within two years,

Of course, you can have such expectations, but you should place them on yourself,

It’s actually perfect timing; you’re learning cosmetics, so let’s see if you can become a boss in two years. Not to ask for much, but just opening your own studio should be feasible. It doesn’t require a lot of money; rent a place in an office building for a few thousand, buy some cosmetics for a few tens of thousands, and with a small investment, you can definitely open a studio. You could even do it right now, but have you even seen the scale of Xiyuan? Could that be achieved within one or two years?"

Of course, they had accomplished it, but she couldn’t say that out loud. She wasn’t afraid of a thief stealing, but of a thief coveting. Without even confirming whether Fan Tianyu was the boss of Xiyuan, she was already thinking about him leading the whole family to riches. If they knew how much money Fan Tianyu made in a year, would they expect a piece of the company for every family member? Once they got the companies, they wouldn’t need to manage anything, just let Tianyu take care of it all and collect the money every month. Things didn’t work that way.

Because of Qiuhe’s presumptuous attitude, Mengzhen was angered by these shameless people. She said, "Qiuhe, you might not like what I’m about to say, but really, don’t turn out just like your mom, do you think that’s a good thing?"

There was no need for Mengzhen to elaborate on what kind of person Mei Yifan was, and Qiuhe had also come out to escape such a living environment, but she had learned these bad habits thoroughly.

Qiuhe clearly understood what Mengzhen meant, and while she might disdain her own mother, she wouldn’t allow others to do so, "Sister Zhenzhen, she’s your younger aunt."

"I know, so what?"

Right, just because she’s the younger aunt doesn’t mean she’s off-limits.

Qiuhe, somewhat angered, said, "She’s my mom, don’t talk about her like that."

"What did I say about her?"

Mengzhen looked coldly at Qiuhe and asked again, "What did I say about her?"

She hadn’t said anything unpleasant, but the fact that every sentence struck a nerve was even more infuriating to Qiuhe.

"Sister Zhenzhen." Suddenly, Qiuhe raised her voice, calling out to Mengzhen and bringing Chenchen from his room where he had been playing games. He rushed over, seeing Mengzhen lying on the sofa and a fuming Qiuhe standing opposite her. He pushed Qiuhe aside, exclaiming, "What are you doing? Don’t you dare bully my sister."

Chenchen stood protectively in front of Mengzhen, ready to shield her with his arms, completely forgetting he hadn’t even turned six yet.

Mengzhen smiled and said, "Chenchen, your sister’s fine."

Chenchen glanced back and saw Mengzhen smiling easily, which seemed to confirm she was indeed fine. However, looking back at Qiuhe, who still appeared angry, he was certain she had bullied his sister, "Don’t lie to Chenchen, Sister Qiuhe must have bullied you."

Qiuhe was infuriated upon hearing this, "I bullied your sister? It was your sister who bullied me."

Mengzhen asked, "How did I bully you?"

"You said not to be like my mom; you didn’t bully me, you insulted my mom."
