I'm a little panicked. I'm going to be a father right after my rebirth.

Song Ye put on his newly bought watch. The quality of things of this era is impeccable, except that the design is a bit ugly. However, he is not picky, as long as it can be used, it is fine.

I heated the clothes by the stove, then put them under the quilt and put them on. They were warm and comfortable. Only after I put them on did I go out and put on my shoes.

After they had washed and packed up, Yu Gui arrived and brought a woman with him.

"Brother Song, you guys got up pretty early." Yu Gui pulled the woman in, "This is my wife, her name is Qian Xuemei."

Qian Xuemei is a tall person with high cheekbones and slanted eyes. It is said that people with this kind of face are difficult to get along with.

After she entered the room, she put her hands on her hips and her long legs slightly apart, very much like the compass with thin legs described by Lu Xun.

"Hello, sister-in-law!" Song Ye and Song Haixia said in unison.

Qian Xuemei didn't say anything, but began to look Song Haixia up and down with a very unhappy look on her face.

Song Ye frowned, and his impression of her was greatly reduced.

Yu Gui was a little embarrassed. He had already told his wife at home that he should be more enthusiastic towards her, and she readily agreed. Why did she act like she was catching someone cheating here?

"Brother Song, you and your sister haven't eaten yet, right? I brought some steamed buns and porridge, as well as pickles from home. If you don't mind, have some."

Yu Gui was holding a food box in his hand. It looked old, but very clean.

Song Ye nodded, "Thank you, Brother Yu, thank you for your trouble."

"It's just a side job, no need to make any trouble!" Seeing that Song Ye did not refuse, Yu Gui happily put the food box on the counter, took out two sets of bowls and chopsticks, then a plate of steamed buns, a bowl of pickles, and finally a large bowl with a lid.

Song Ye didn't hesitate to serve himself a bowl of porridge and started eating it.

Seeing that he was eating with great relish, Song Haixia also came over and picked up a steamed bun.

Qian Xuemei rolled her eyes when she saw that they didn't treat her as an outsider.

Song Haixia was eating happily when she suddenly saw the watch on Song Ye's wrist. When did her second brother buy the watch? Didn't he ask her what time it was in the morning?

Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, Song Ye asked, "Sister, why don't you eat?"

Song Haixia looked up at him and said, "Second brother, did you buy a watch?"

"Yes, I bought it yesterday." Song Ye raised his left hand to look at the time. It was not yet seven o'clock, and they should be able to catch the 8 o'clock bus.

Song Haixia smacked her lips. What a watch! She wanted one too!

"Sister, your saliva is about to flow out!" Song Ye chuckled when he saw her envious look.

Song Haixia wiped her mouth subconsciously, then stomped her feet and said, "Second brother! You bullied me again!"

Song Ye stretched out his big hand and pressed it on her head, "Okay, don't be angry, second brother is teasing you, what are you looking at!"

He then pulled out a shiny object from his pocket.

"Wow! What a beautiful watch!" Song Haixia exclaimed, her eyes full of joy. She quickly put it on her wrist and looked at it left and right. She couldn't get enough of it.

Song Ye touched her head. How could it not be beautiful? He spent 100 points to buy this watch. In this era, it would cost 500 yuan.

500 yuan! Although it is not enough for Song Ye to earn in a day, it is equivalent to six or seven months' salary of an ordinary worker.

"Do you like it?" Song Ye asked.

"Yeah!" Song Haixia nodded repeatedly, "I like it very much! Thank you, second brother!"

Song Ye looked at his sister lovingly and smiled like a fool, not even caring about eating.

When Qian Xuemei saw the glittering golden watch, she felt extremely jealous.

She had wanted to buy a watch for a long time, but unfortunately Yu Gui only knew how to make wontons and couldn't make any money at all.

Yu Gui has only one younger sister. She did not live well after getting married and the family was almost unable to make ends meet. That is why her mother was hospitalized for such a long time and all the medical expenses were paid by her family. Yu Gui would sometimes secretly help his sister.

My family was struggling financially, so how could we afford to buy her such luxury goods?

Yes, watches are a luxury item for their family.

Song Ye finished his breakfast quickly. He took Yu Gui aside and talked about the layout of the house and the issues that needed attention, acting like a big boss.

Yu Gui listened patiently and nodded frequently, like an obedient primary school student.

Qian Xuemei felt even more unhappy when she saw that her man treated her like a grandson in front of Song Ye.

"Spring is coming soon. We'll just use the stove this year. Next year, we'll have to install heating regardless of whether the store moves or not. By then..."

"Then who will pay for the heating installation?" Song Ye was interrupted by a voice before he could finish his words. The speaker was Qian Xuemei.

Song Ye frowned, "Of course I will pay for it. All facilities are under my management. By the way, Brother Yu, it is written in the contract that I will also pay the store rent. I will give you the money now. This is the store redemption agreement." He took out 300 yuan.

"No, no, Brother Song, you give me so much money every day, I will pay this rent!" Yu Gui waved his hands repeatedly.

He didn't want it, but Qian Xuemei didn't care about that. She immediately snatched the money from Song Ye's hand. She was laughing so hard holding the money that she wanted to kiss him a few times.

Yu Gui shook his head helplessly. This daughter-in-law was too embarrassing, so he had to sign the store exchange agreement.

Song Ye put the agreement away and said, "Brother Yu, I'll leave this to you. My sister and I will leave first. I'll come back to deliver the goods to you after the New Year."

"Wait!" Qian Xuemei interrupted Yu Gui before he could say anything.

Song Ye suppressed his anger and asked, "Sister-in-law, is there anything else?"

Qian Xuemei pouted and said, "You can fool Yu Gui, but you can't fool me. The profit from the fruit must be more than this. We can't just split half of it!"

"Besides, there are two of us working together, how can we only get one person's pay? The contract must be re-signed, and we must get at least half of the money earned!"

Song Ye raised his eyebrows, "Do you know what you are talking about? You want to take half of it? Are you obsessed with money?"

"I am doing business with Brother Yu Gui. That is our friendship. What does it have to do with you? Did I ask you to come? I have never seen anyone like you!"

Qian Xuemei raised her head, "I don't care! I want half, otherwise Lao Yu and I won't be in partnership with you! This is my store, I have the final say!"

Song Ye thought it was very funny, "Just get it straight, I just signed a store exchange agreement with Yu Gui, and you also received the money, this store is mine now!"

"Yu Gui is my partner, he can enjoy dividends, and you are just a temporary worker, earning 5 yuan a day. If you don't do a good job, I will fire you!"

"I hereby declare that you are unqualified as a temporary worker and will never be hired again. Please leave my store immediately and don't set foot in here again, otherwise I will send you to the police station!"

Qian Xuemei was so angry that she jumped up and down, "You! Why are you so overbearing!"

Song Ye straightened his chest and said, "Because the store is mine, and the goods are in my hands! I can replace Yu Gui at any time! Where do you get the confidence to threaten me?
