Qiao Mei raised her eyes to look at Old Madam Li and said, “I see that you look very energetic and don’t look weak at all. One look and I can tell that you are very well-fed. You don’t look hungry at all.”

“Don’t you think I’m the best person to know if I’m hungry or not? How much is that piece of meat worth! You want to chase us away just to stop us from eating a meal here! Goodness me, I don’t want to live anymore!” Old Madam Li said.

“Sure thing. If you don’t want to live anymore, I’ll grant you your wish immediately.” Qiao Mei looked at Zhang Wei and said, “Go and ask your Uncle Da Zhuang to come upstairs. There’s someone in front of us who wants to die. Ask him to think of a way.”

“Hey! Wait! I suddenly feel that it’s not a bad idea to eat elsewhere. Let’s go out and eat.” After saying that, Old Madam Li ran downstairs and the large group of people finally left.

Along the way, the Li siblings kept pressing Li Gui for more information, causing her to have a headache.

“Fourth Sister, do you need any waiters here? I’m very strong and I work fast! Can you let me stay here and work with you?”

“Fourth Sister, I also want to stay here and help you. Is the kitchen still short of staff? I cook very well too!”

“Fourth Sister, me too! I want to stay here and help you too! Since this is our family’s business, all of us are willing to help you!”

Zhang Wei stood by the window and looked worriedly at the departing figures of Li Gui and the others as they left. He sighed and said, “Elder Sister, do you think our mother can withstand the pressure? Those people will just keep pestering her. What if our mother becomes soft-hearted and agrees to give them what they want?”

“Don’t worry, That won’t happen. Even if she agrees, there’s still me, right? You don’t have to worry,” Qiao Mei said gently.

Zhang Wei stood on the second floor and looked down. He said, “Elder Sister, let’s go down for the interview. There are already five or six people downstairs!”

Qiao Mei picked up her bag and stood beside Zhang Wei. She patted his shoulder and said, “Xiao Wei, since Mom is not around now, you have the final say in this shop. You can go and conduct the interview. It’s up to you to decide whether you want to hire them or not. If you don’t want to conduct the interview, ask them to come back another day. You can just supervise the renovation works and prepare for the opening.”

“Me? I can’t do it alone! Elder Sister, I can’t make such a decision!” Zhang Wei said fearfully.

Children from poor families needed to learn how to make a living from a young age. Although Li Gui and her children were leading a more prosperous life now, the children already had some life experiences from when they were poor those few years ago.

It was impossible for Qiao Mei to manage all her businesses herself. It was time for her younger siblings to step up to make decisions and brush up their business skills. In any case, even if they made a loss, she could afford it. However, she believed that these children had the aptitude for business and would not disappoint her.

“Then  then thank you, Elder Sister,” Zhang Wei said with a smile.

Qiao Mei left Da Zhuang behind to protect the four children while Xiao Zhuang drove Qiao Mei home. On the way home, Qiao Mei kept thinking about one thing. Li Gui was only 42 years old now and she still had most of her life ahead of her. It was time to find a partner for Li Gui. Otherwise, Zhang Qian would always be thinking about remarrying Li Gui.

Qiao Mei shared this thought with Xu Lan. After all, Xu Lan knew many people and there must be quite a few nice, single middle-aged men among her acquaintances. Furthermore, all the big workplace units liked to organize social gatherings for their staff. The attendees were not only young men and women, but also many older folks!

“That’s a very good idea! I have always wanted to bring your mother to those social gatherings, but she feels embarrassed and keeps rejecting me. I have also advised her to find a partner, but she always says that the children are still young and say that she will only consider it when they are all grown up,” Xu Lan said.

“That’s great! Now that Zhang Wei  no, I should call him Li Wei now. The children are already all grown up and they can take care of one another. My mother doesn’t have to put in too much effort on them. It’s time for her to consider her own marriage,” Qiao Mei said with a sigh.

Xu Lan was not curious about why Zhang Wei had changed his name to Li Wei. After all, this was Li Gui’s family matter and she did not feel the need to probe.

“Don’t worry, leave this matter to me. I’ll definitely introduce a very nice man to Li Gui!” Xu Lan said excitedly.

All these years, she had tried to find life partners for her sons and daughter, but she had never succeeded. These three children wanted to find their own partners and did not listen to her at all. Now that she finally had a chance to facilitate a marriage, she naturally felt very happy.
