The Reborn Sidekick Rejected The Male Lead-Chapter 455: Extra 10_2

The couple had just one child, and their living conditions were not bad.

Ever since the two elders got together, her relationship with Lu Jingqiu had also been good.

She took interest when Lu Jingqiu mentioned that the house prices would rise in the future.

When their unit started constructing residential buildings, she had some savings and bought a set at an internal price.

She even asked Lu Jingqiu if she was interested, offering it at the internal price. Naturally, such a good deal was not to be missed by Lu Jingqiu.

Recently, she had quite a bit of money on hand. She deposited a portion in the bank and turned the rest into gold.

When Lu Jingqiu and her family of four returned from their trip, her aunt pulled her aside with a face full of worries.

Lu Jingqiu thought something had happened and hurriedly asked, "Auntie, what’s wrong, did you have a fight with Uncle?"

"Fight? He’s either at the park every day or fishing with your dad. He’s busier than me; I can only see him in the evening."

"Then what’s the matter? Is there a problem at the factory?"

"Ah, the factory is doing well, we made this much this year, but... Auntie is worried, such a big factory and nobody to take over."

Lu Jingqiu laughed, "Auntie, there’s my older cousin and my second cousin. You can hand it over to either one, no need to worry about that."

"Humph, don’t mention it. I’ve discussed it with your second cousin and his wife, and they don’t want to take over. Your older cousin and his wife have jobs; they definitely can’t take over. You see, I’ve worked for so many years and earned such a big business for those brothers. In any other family, they would be fighting over it, but they actually disdain it."

"I’m now envious seeing your dad and the others traveling and relaxing every day. And your uncle, he doesn’t care about anything. What did he say? He’s been working his whole life, it’s time to enjoy some rest in these few years. Thinking about it, I can’t work for a lifetime either. Qiuqiu, how about I give the factory to you?"

Lu Jingqiu hurriedly shook her head, "Auntie, I don’t want it. I’m really busy and I can’t manage it."

"Humph, I knew it, one by one, all of you are abandoning me."

Zhou Lanqin said this, hands in her pockets, looking very wronged, just like a child.

At that moment, Lu Jingqiu realized how much her aunt had been overlooked by the older cousin and second cousin over the years.

One was busy chasing achievements, the other immersed in his career.

Their uncle at home didn’t like hanging around the machines all day, leaving the aunt to be busy on her own.

Little did they know, the aunt who hadn’t received much education, was managing such a big factory, surely exhausted.

Lu Jingqiu busily consoled her aunt, persuading her for a long time.

On the side, she also contacted the older cousin and the second cousin.

The older cousin, upon hearing this, felt quite guilty. From the time he enlisted in the army until now, over all these years, he’d hardly been dutiful.

When the children were young, he left them for the grandparents to look after for several years.

When he didn’t need them, a few phone calls a year seemed to be enough.

After Lu Jingqiu’s call, the older cousin and his wife hurried back.

The second cousin and his wife were the same. When their mother talked to them about this matter, Yang Mingchao was out of town at a car exhibition.

The older cousin’s wife just thought she was joking. Besides, she couldn’t accept it anyway, since the old couple had two sons. If she took over without saying a word, what if the sister-in-law had opinions?

But they didn’t expect the situation to be so serious. Initially, when they set up a small workshop for Zhou Lanqin, it was because she had nothing to do and they wanted to find her some work.

Who would have thought the elderly lady’s snack business would become so popular? In just a few years, they rented a plot of land and opened a factory.

And it was getting better and better.

They thought the elderly lady was enthusiastic, who would have thought she didn’t want to work anymore.

The older cousin said, "Second brother, our mom is getting old, it’s time to let her rest. Since she doesn’t want to work, why don’t you guys take over? We’ve talked it over, my wife and I don’t want it."

"Brother, this is mom’s property, you have your share and so do I. I’m not taking advantage. Let the old lady have her rest, and if it doesn’t work out, we can just sell the factory."

Upon hearing this, the second cousin’s wife didn’t care that others were around and slapped him lightly, saying, "You make it sound easy, as if you’ve found something better and look down on this small amount of money. I’ve been the one helping mom with the finances these past years. Don’t think the factory is small; it earns more than two hundred thousand in profit a year. Isn’t this money?"

The older cousin’s wife said, "Wow, that’s quite a lot."

The second cousin’s wife added, "Exactly, so the factory cannot be sold."

They couldn’t sell, but on the older cousin’s side, there was no suitable person to take over immediately; a factory like this always required a trustworthy person.

Lu Jingqiu and Jiang Nanzhou were also worried but didn’t have any good solutions.freeωebnovēl.c૦m
