The next day
Liang Hongi avoided Du Guangjun, so she didn’t go to the store. She went to Shen Qing’s house to bring Little Star ho. She was focused on taking care of the child at ho.
Lin Wan and Zhang Shuhua went out early in the morning to handle matters at the store.
On Ye Qing’s side, she intentionally let i Langchi take her and her son to stroll in the street in the afternoon. They bought quite a few jewelry items, food, and daily necessities.
On the street, they happened to et Lin Wan riding a tricycle. The back was packed with lots of wires and pipes.
i Langchi’s gaze deepened, as he pondered for a while before saying, "How’s Han Yi’s wife’s hot pot restaurant doing now?"
Ye Qing’s eyes lit up, and she said, "Business is good; they earn at least a little over ten thousand a year. Also, Lin Wan recently opened a garnt workshop. The whole family is thriving."
"Just that restaurant can make ten thousand a year?" i Langchi was a bit surprised.
"Ten thousand is just a rough estimate; it could be even more than this amount. Why is Langchi asking about this?"
i Langchi looked up at Lin Wan, who was gradually vanishing into the crowd in the distance, and said, "I don’t want Han Yi to have it too easy."
Ye Qing’s eyes glead sneakily, and she said, slightly intentionally, "They’ve hired quite a few employees at the hot pot restaurant. Recently, I heard from people at the office that the governnt now stipulates a maximum of seven private employees, but they have at least eight."
i Langchi smiled. He continued leading Ye Qing and the child to the departnt store, feeling good and bought several sets of clothes for Ye Qing. Including so for Qiu Hualan.
Ye Qing understood i Langchi’s intention, so she didn’t ntion it explicitly; so things are better left unsaid.
In the evening, i Langchi discreetly brought up the matter, hinting at reporting it once he was gone.
Tomorrow, he planned to find soone to handle it, ensuring Lin Wan’s hot pot restaurant wouldn’t be able to continue operating.

Z City Courtyard.
Mu Guomin had been in high spirits lately because his daughter had climbed the i Family tree.
Joyful events refreshed one’s spirit; he had intentionally chatted with i Lang Jun several tis and found that i Lang Jun was quite polite to him.
Mu Guomin calculated in his mind, planning to ntion to i Lang Jun about his daughter Qingqing in a few days. Who knew today, one of Mu Qing’s colleagues t him and congratulated him.
At the ti, he was quite confused, not understanding the aning.
He listened for a long while to find out that Qingqing had registered their marriage.
Mu Guomin’s first thought was that Qingqing and the i Family boy secretly got their marriage certificate. This made him jubilant; he humd a tune all the way, intending to find Mu Qing and ask for details.
Unexpectedly, he ran into Mu Qing’s boss. It was i Lang Jun. Mu Guomin couldn’t hide his joy; he walked up and patted i Lang Jun’s shoulder saying, "Lang Jun, you guys, such a big thing, how co you didn’t discuss it with the family? You should have let both parents et in advance, right?"
i Lang Jun was a bit stunned by Mu Guomin’s sudden action, avoided such intimate gestures, and shyly smiled, "Mr. Mu, I’m a bit confused by what you said, could you clarify?"
Mu Guomin wasn’t upset, instead, he laughed and said, "Son-in-law, don’t play dumb with ; I know all about you and Qingqing. With the certificate in hand, what’s left to hide? Do you have ti tonight? Let Qingqing bring you ho for a visit; after all, you should know the way, right?"
"What?" i Lang Jun laughed, quickly explaining, "Mr. Mu, there might be so misunderstanding; Qingqing and I haven’t registered, you know."
"..." Mu Guomin froze, raised his shoulder, and said, "Not registered? Then who did she submit the report with?"
"...Oh, you an this? The report was filed under Lin Yinghui; this person is my..." Before he could say "sworn brother," he saw Mu Guomin’s look darken and he turned to head towards Mu Qing’s office.
Leaving i Lang Jun scratching his head in confusion, suddenly realizing, he clapped his hands and said, "Oh no."
Lin Wan had been busy the whole day; previously, she had built a barbecue oven for Uncle Jin’s family, so she specially invited Uncle Jin to call him over. After explaining for a whole morning, they finally finalized the oven plans.
In order not to make it too hot in the sumr, first, they made the chimney larger allowing heat to escape from above. Secondly, the oven was made double-layered; one layer was soil cultivation, outside was another layer of soil cultivation with thin stone sheets. Airspace acts as insulation, preventing excessive heat diffusion indoors.
"Xiao Wan, you’re simply too clever. You know more than the bricklayers; you didn’t see how impressed the bricklayer was just now." Zhang Shuhua’s biggest fortune in life is to have t such a good friend like Lin Wan.
