Chapter 380: First bun shop
Although there was the addition of Zhou Yang, Gang Zi, and Wu Ni, there was sufficient accommodation.
For Wu Ni, it was the old rule, live with Er Ni in the dumpling shop.
As for Zhou Yang and Gang Zi, they arranged to live on the second floor of the men’s clothing store.
But these two boys weren’t happy to live there. They would rather squeeze at this side than live in the spacious room there.
So Lin Qing He left them be. Go sleep where they want. Boys were all sloppy raised. There was nothing wrong with laying a straw mat and camping on the floor in this weather.
However, Xu Sheng Mei was really displeased when she learned that Gang Zi was actually coming here to watch the men’s clothing store.
All day long, she appeared glum.
Lin Qing He didn’t notice this. It was when Zhou Xiao Mei came to find her to go to the bathhouse and told her about it.
“Sheng Mei seems to be dissatisfied with Fourth Sister-in-law.” Zhou Xiao Mei spoke.
“Because of Gang Zi?” Lin Qing He knew what was up without guessing.
“En. It should be due to you not letting her brother come but allowed Gang Zi to come.” Zhou Xiao Mei nodded.
Lin Qinghe laughed: “It’s my shop, is it not up to me to decide who helps out?”
Zhou Xiao Mei didn’t refute this and said, “Sheng Mei is too insensible.” She (Sheng Mei) often quibbled in front of her mother. She was really a white-eyed wolf.
Lin Qing He said: “Already eighteen. If sensible, she would already be. If she doesn’t want to be sensible, no one can beg her to.”
It’s just that she (Qing He) blamed herself a little too.
When she wanted to bring Xu Sheng Mei back at old Zhou’s house before, she actually hesitated. It was because she didn’t know what kind of person she was.
She did appear good, but in the end, she wasn’t clear at all.
But giving consideration to her sister-in-law, First Sister, so she used her. How could she ever think of such an incident would occur, right?
Lin Qing He was indeed a little dissatisfied with this niece, Xu Sheng Mei. Shee was small-minded and short-sighted. And also liked to be petty about things.
She intended for her to enter evening school with Er Ni and Hu Zi from the beginning, but she didn’t want to study.
Later, she started to trained Er Niand Hu Zi on managing the accounts and even took Er Ni to the garment factory. Now she was grumbling.
She didn’t dare to speak in front of her. Rather, it was all behind her back.
Lin Qing He was displeased with this.
But what else can she do? She already brought her over, so she could only continue to let her work. Still, she regretted it in her heart.
Back then, she shouldn’t have looked upon First Sister’s face and brought people over after meeting them once.
After committing this mistake once, would she continue to make it? She would never allow Xu Sheng Qiang to come over.
Unless he has the ability to move here by himself. He better not come to mingle into her side, otherwise, she won’t even care about what First Sister thinks and ignore him.
Finding Gang Zi because he was right. Not finding Xu Sheng Qiang, cause he wasn’t!
As for why he wasn’t, First Sister had to reflect on her own.
Still, the final analysis was that Lin Qing He was still a little upset. Keeping as a relative was good enough. Why did she enlist Xu Sheng Mei to come?
But now that she was here, then be here. Work hard and she’ll add to her dowry when she goes home and gets married. Consider it as doing her part to the end.
“Let’s not talk about it.” Lin Qing He said and had a good bath with Zhou Xiao Mei.
“Fourth Sister-in-law, Da Lin and I are going to buy the shop with the landlord.” Zhou Xiao Mei mentioned when they came out of the bathhouse.
“How much?” Lin Qing He nodded.
“Four thousand and a half is the max for us. If it’s too expensive, then it won’t do.” Zhou Xiao Mei answered.
“The max price should not exceed four thousand seven hundred. If it exceeds this number, change plac.” Lin Qing He advised.
Zhou Xiao Mei and Su Da Lin’s first bun shop was bought before Lin Qing He’s holiday arrived. They bought the shop where they were currently selling buns.
For a shop of that size, forty-one to forty-two hundred was quite a price. But because the landlord didn’t want to sell it and their side wanted to buy it, so it went without saying the price can only be raised.
It raised all the way up to four thousand and a half. The landlord still didn’t have the intention to budge. It was clear, they didn’t want to sell it.
However, Zhou Xiao Mei gritted her teeth and listened to her fourth sister-in-law. She increased it to four thousand seven in one breath. If they don’t accept, then they’ll move away without hesitation.
Probably seeing her determination, the landlord, who wasn’t budging, went back to discuss it.
It must be known, this was nearly 500 yuan higher than the market price.
Even when the landlord’s family wasn’t short of money, who would find that 500 yuan little? Five hundred yuan at this moment was definitely not a small sum in any place.
If it wasn’t for Su Da Lin and Zhou Xiao Mei becoming accustomed to this side and the business was indeed good, who would be willing to give 500 yuan more?
Calculating based on Su Da Lin’s monthly salary of 60, five hundred yuan was almost all of his salary for half a year!
It was precisely because of the 200 yuan that Zhou Xiao Mei later gritted her teeth and added in, this shop was finally bought.
When Lin Qing He heard it from Third after he came back from his grandparent’s. Then she went over with Zhou Qing Bai on a bicycle in the evening.
Although they spent 90% of the money of the family’s saving at once, Lin Qing H could see that both Su Da Lin or Zhou Xiao Mei carried a relaxed smile.
They weren’t affected at all.
“I heard Third say that the shop is bought now.” Lin Qing He grinned. She was relieved to see the two of them like this.
“It’s bought. Had to grit my teeth and ruthlessly use up the money to buy it.” Zhou Xiao Mei pursed her mouth and smiled.
“It is a bit overly expensive, but it’s only this time. Now you’re on the road of a truly legitimate business.” Lin Qing He nodded.
According to the current profit of the Bun Shop, the additional 200 yuan was equivalent to half a month’s profit. Lin Qing He felt that it wasn’t too bad of a deal.
After all, if they were to move the shop, the loss was pretty huge. So two hundred yuan wasn’t a problem. If they add an extra two hundred yuan and still can’t be bought it, then there was really no need to increase it.
Fortunately, the other party knew the limit. Understanding when to accept when it was beneficial. The way things were now was great.
“It’s really too expensive. A shop cost 4,700 or so. Nearly same as robbing.” Mother Zhou was really displeased.
Previously, when Zhou Qing Bai said four thousand, she found it too expensive. In only one year, it had raised from four thousand to four thousand and seven hundred.
In the countryside, even if people save for a year, they may not be able to save 200 yuan!
But in Mother Zhou’s mind, this shop was highly expensive.
“What do you know?” Father Zhou gave her a disgruntled look. He felt that the son-in-law and daughter were right to buy this shop. It was expensive but once the business was managed well, the money will definitely be earned back in the future.
The most important thing was that now the shop was their own. Their heart can rest at ease.
Xu Sheng Mei, who was watching TV, suddenly whispered, “My mother is also good at making buns.”
