Chapter 989: So there was a purpose

The old lady was stunned: "Only roast ten geese a day? That's not enough!"

He Bin smiled: "Exactly, my reaction at the time was the same as yours, wanting to say ten isn't enough. But A-Ci required me to do this, mainly because she didn't want me to get up early and work late like before. Earning more or less is secondary."

The old lady's gaze couldn't help but size up the surroundings again, muttering along: "Such a good location and storefront, the rent must be very expensive, right? You sell ten by ten every day, this rent can't even be sold back, right? What kind of money are you earning?"

He Bin subconsciously looked at Shen Jingjing, not knowing whether the following words should be said or not.

Shen Jingjing was sensible and delicate. So she opened her mouth to help He Bin explain: "Mom, this storefront isn't rented; it was bought by A-Ci."

"Bought?" The old lady was shocked: "What did A-Ci buy this storefront for? This must be a lot of money, right?"

"Investment, the price will rise in the future. Buying it and leaving it empty is also empty, so she gave it to He Bin to open a shop," Shen Jingjing said softly.

He Bin nodded in agreement: "Yes, A-Ci doesn't want my rent, just letting me do some things I like."

Only then did the old lady nod slowly, but there were clearly some unclear emotions in her eyes.

"Sister, you and Mom sit, I'll go to the supermarket across the street to buy you a bottle of water." He Bin said, and he was already out.

Shen Jingjing was sensitive and delicate. She had felt that the old lady had something going on since she entered the door, so she took advantage of He Bin going to buy water to look at the old lady and asked directly: "Mom, do you have something going on?"

"Ah?" The old lady shook her head: "No, what could I have..."

"You just have something going on." Shen Jingjing said, her tone couldn't help but lighten, and she persuaded: "Mom, this shop of He Bin's was opened by A-Ci. It's just a small business he runs himself, and even Yingying doesn't participate. Don't think about anything else."

This was a bit straightforward, and the old lady didn't like to hear it.

"You say this, can I snatch He Bin's shop?" The old lady widened her eyes: "I don't know how to roast big geese either."

"Then what are you thinking about?" Shen Jingjing looked at the old lady inquiringly: "If you don't say it, then I'll save asking again."

"Sigh..." The old lady sighed, and in the end, she had to say it: "Isn't this thinking about Chengcheng's matter?"

Shen Jingjing's brows tightened instantly upon hearing this: "Chengcheng? What's wrong with him again."

Mentioning her youngest son, the old lady was full of worry: "He is alone now, and at this age, he can't find a job, and he doesn't know anything. What will he do in the future?"

Shen Jingjing curled her lips speechlessly and said bluntly: "He has been like this since he was small. Isn't it a bit too late for you to worry about these things now?"

"That was before..." The old lady subconsciously opened her mouth, but swallowed the words halfway.

She herself knew she couldn't say it. It was because Zheng Hong was there to support him before. No matter what, Zheng Hong could still earn money and take care of Shen Chengcheng.

But now that they had divorced, the old lady realized that if her youngest son continued like this, he would really have nothing to rely on in the second half of his life.

"Then what are you thinking about?" Shen Jingjing frowned and asked: "You aren't thinking about He Bin's shop, are you? This is He Bin's shop. If you want him to give it to Chengcheng, A-Ci won't agree!"

"Oh, no." The old lady hurriedly waved her hand to deny: "What are you thinking about? I wouldn't think about He Bin's even if I thought about anyone's."

He Bin was a son-in-law, and there was a layer in between. If she really thought about it, she should have gone directly to her younger daughter.

Only after hearing that the old lady didn't have this intention did Shen Jingjing feel relieved.

Seeing He Bin coming out of the supermarket across the street, the old lady hurriedly pulled Shen Jingjing's hand and said: "You talk to He Bin and see if he can teach this roast goose skill to your younger brother, let him learn a skill, and he can open a shop in the future."

It turned out the old lady's intention was here.

Shen Jingjing refused without even thinking: "Mom, stop messing around. How could Chengcheng learn this? He doesn't have much ability but has high aspirations. Don't say let him learn roast goose, he won't even learn to roast a dragon."

"And haven't you always opposed him coming to Longcheng? Even if he is really willing to learn, it's learning in He Bin's shop, and you aren't opposed to it anymore?"

The old lady herself was naturally unwilling, but this was a different time and a different situation. Her son was almost forty, idle all day, and Zheng Hong was gone. She had to consider her son's future.

"Sigh, don't worry about other things first. You just make He Bin nod, he..."

Before she finished speaking, He Bin had already entered the room. The old lady hurriedly swallowed her words and gave Shen Jingjing a wink.

"Mom, sister, drink water." He Bin handed the water over and greeted: "Eat together at noon? I just happened to buy vegetables in the morning, and I can cook them in a moment."

"No, you still have to tidy up. I'll take Mom to eat roast duck at 'Shui Yun Jian,' just happened to pass by and Mom said she wanted to come over and see." Shen Jingjing also winked at He Bin while speaking.

He Bin reacted and was so scared he broke into a cold sweat: "Oh, oh, that's good."

The old lady hadn't been to her own home until now. If she knew they also lived in a four or five hundred square meter big house, what would happen?

Without staying long, Shen Jingjing pulled the old lady and left, and didn't mention Shen Chengcheng's matter.

The old lady was naturally unhappy. After getting in the car, she couldn't help but complain to her daughter: "Look at you, Mom begged you for such a small matter and you weren't willing to say it. Besides, this isn't someone else's matter, it's your younger brother's matter."

And Shen Jingjing also felt uncomfortable. She looked at the old lady and said: "Mom, you arranged a table of food early in the morning and specifically made 'jujube cake.' I was full of being moved, but it turned out it was because you had a purpose that you did these things? In the end, it was still for Chengcheng?"

The old lady felt guilty, her expression dodging but her mouth was still hard: "How could you think that? I just remembered you liked to eat it and made it, there weren't so many thoughts."

Shen Jingjing sighed: "Regardless of whether there are or not, Chengcheng's matter is unreliable. You can't think of one thing and then another. Even if you can really get Chengcheng here, can he learn? Don't mess up He Bin's shop until it's smoky and chaotic."

And Shen Jingjing disagreed for another key point, which was that Xiao Min was studying in Longcheng. Once Shen Chengcheng came, he might run into Xiao Min.

By then, eldest brother and sister-in-law would all know, and that would be the real big trouble.

Who knew that seeing Shen Jingjing's attitude so firm, the old lady couldn't help but wipe her tears.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Seeing this, Shen Jingjing hurriedly pulled out paper and handed it over: "We are discussing the matter as it stands, what are you crying for?"

"I'm crying for your younger brother!" The old lady cried while wiping her tears: "You say what will he do in the future? I can't close my eyes even if I die now when I think of these things." ===== CHAPTER 990 =====
