Chapter 134 So shameless
When Chu Shaoting saw what Mu Xiaowan was holding, her face lit up with joy. She rushed over to Mu Xiaowan and tried to snatch the Walkman from her hand, but Mu Xiaowan seemed to have already sensed her intention and dodged, leaving Chu Shaoting empty-handed.
Chu Shaoting needed his help, and although he cursed Mu Xiaowan in his heart, he dared not show his displeasure on his face. "Yes, that's it. I just saw Xiaohui listening to this in the living room."
"Second sister-in-law, we are both your sisters-in-law, you can't favor one over the other. You already gave Xiaohui pocket money last night, but you didn't give me any New Year's money this morning. I don't want any New Year's money either. Just give me that Walkman you have in your hand, I won't mind."
Mu Xiaowan almost burst out laughing.
Chu Shaoting's face looks like it was sewn with a thousand layers of soles by her mother, doesn't it?
"Chu Shaoting, although I am of a higher generation than you, you are older than me in terms of age. Besides, you are already working and earning a lot of money. I feel embarrassed to give you New Year's money."
She really dares to think that way. Come to think of it, does she even deserve to be compared to Chu Zhihui? Chu Zhihui is so adorable, and so innocent. Although she didn't like her at first, she never caused her any trouble. But Chu Shaoting is different; she's sharp-tongued and mean, and just meeting her always makes him unhappy. And she has the nerve to compare herself to her own aunt?
What the hell.
Mu Xiaowan turned on her Walkman and put an earphone on her ear. "I can't give this to you. If you want it, we can make one for you. I can guarantee you'll be the first customer in the provincial capital to do so. It'll be one of a kind, and I'll give you a discount."
She made a total of four. She gave one to Liu Caiwei, and she and Chu Shao each gave one of the other three.
Originally, she only intended to give it to Chu Zhihui, since the materials weren't easy to obtain. But Mu Xiaowan changed her mind and thought that if Liu Caiwei used it well, who knew what other ideas Liu Weiguo might have? She could also thank Liu Weiguo for supporting her business. After all, Liu Weiguo only had this one relative he depended on, so she was trying to please him.
As for Chu Shaoqing, Mu Xiaowan also wanted him to promote the business among his friends. The electronics business needed to go hand in hand with the general store business. Otherwise, making money like this wouldn't achieve her goals at the end of the year.
As for her? She was bored all day and didn't want to make herself suffer.
We can probably manage to get some of the outer shell and materials from Qi Haiyang's family. But replicating it is quite troublesome, in fact, very difficult. Things are different now than they were back then. There are many things money can't buy.
"Aren't you afraid I'll tell Grandpa about this? Let him see how you treat your own family."
Mu Xiaowan wasn't scared at all. "Then you should go and tell him sooner rather than later. If I'm not mistaken, Grandpa will definitely tell me to handle this officially."
Mu Xiaowan suddenly wondered if Chu Shaoqing had told Chu Shaoting about her making a Walkman.
"Hmm, it's just a broken Walkman, right? I don't believe you can't find one anywhere else."
Chu Shaoqing told him that Mu Xiaowan made this thing. If even an idiot could make it, then other electronics factories could definitely make it too. He didn't believe that such a big provincial capital didn't have connections.
Chu Shaoting stormed off in a huff.
Mu Xiaowan scoffed.
She's so spoiled. How can someone so grown up have the nerve to ask someone for something directly? How can she even bring herself to ask? Compared to her, she appreciated Chu Zhihui's character even more.
After Chu Shaoting left, Chu Shaoqing came to find Mu Xiaowan.
What he said was exactly what Mu Xiaowan had guessed.
As expected, Chu Shaoting forced Chu Shaoqing to give her the Walkman, but Chu Shaoqing naturally refused.
Even if this thing is unique in the provincial capital, he can't give it to Chu Shaoting just because his sister-in-law made it for him. He knows Chu Shaoting and his sister-in-law don't get along, and if he gives it to Chu Shaoting, it would be going against his sister-in-law. He wants to be on the same side as his sister-in-law.
Besides, he knew how precious this thing was. Why would he give it to Chu Shaoting?
I just didn't expect that someone so grown up would actually go and complain.
In front of his mother, he had to push the blame onto Mu Xiaowan, claiming that she had made it.
His mother naturally didn't believe him, so Chu Shaoqing lied and said that Mu Xiaowan was now studying books about electronics on her own. He was very talented.
He learned and practiced at the same time, and surprisingly, he managed to complete it. The project was complex, and he felt like he had mastered it. However, after trying it, he made mistakes every time, and he had to redo everything. Fearing he would waste materials, he stopped trying.
Although Bai Jiao'e didn't believe that Mu Xiaowan had become so outstanding, since her son had said so, it was clear that the Walkman was not going to be returned.
Unexpectedly, Chu Shaoting overheard this. She didn't believe it and took the initiative to ask Mu Xiaowan for the answer, but Mu Xiaowan completely ignored her.
That bitch, who does she think she is, to give her attitude?
She should have taken matters into her own hands yesterday and burned that shabby shop down, then let's see how smug she'll be afterwards.
After thinking it over, Chu Shaoting felt she couldn't get over this.
She glanced at An Muxue, who was chatting and laughing with the old lady, hesitated for a moment, and then went out.
However, Chu Shaoting returned in a huff not long after.
Unexpectedly, that bitch Mu Xiaowan was already on guard. Police officers and street office staff had been patrolling the streets.
They didn't give her a chance to make a move at all.
Could it be that Mu Xiaowan found out about her and her sister-in-law's plan yesterday?
If she knew, she definitely wouldn't let it go so easily, but to say she doesn't know why she did it?
Chu Shaoting felt increasingly uneasy as she thought about it, and gradually dismissed the idea. If anything happened to the shop, Mu Xiaowan would definitely not let her off the hook.
The shop was about to open after the Lantern Festival. Since it was cold in the shop, Mu Xiaowan asked Chu Shaoqing to start heating on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month. On the day the shop opened, it was very warm inside.
The spring chill was still in the air, and the temperature inside the shop couldn't be lowered at all.
Mu Xiaowan came to clean, but no one helped her this time. Chu Zhihui had already returned to school, and Chu Junbai had been attending meetings every day since the New Year, either coming home late or not coming home at all.
If she really were Chu Junbai's wife, she would definitely have complaints.
Fortunately, it wasn't true, and she was happy to be at peace.
He was cleaning when a customer came in.
Just then, a woman came in and complained, "Your shop should stay open even during the Chinese New Year. We desperately need something but can't buy it. The New Year is such a waste of supplies. The light bulb is broken, and we've been using candles, but they've all burned out. When we took out the light, we found we were out of oil. What a terrible New Year!"
"Sister-in-law, you're wrong. No kerosene means no bad luck, right? It means you'll have a very lucky and prosperous year."
Mu Xiaowan made her sister-in-law happy with just a few words.
Suddenly, the older sister-in-law's eyes lit up as she remembered something. "Oh, right, I heard there was a fire here the other day. It seemed to be caused by some naughty boys from our neighborhood. Those boys are always up to no good. That day they were drunk and shouting in the yard. I heard..."
