Chapter 103 A Difficult Decision

Because of this incident, both of them have been in a bad mood recently, so they don't want to talk much. Wen Zhichao is still busy with the clothing store, and Xia Ruzheng is still managing the restaurant with his daughter.

It's already autumn, and the two of them are not in the mood to think about where to celebrate the New Year.

Wen Zhichao was walking on the street and felt depressed. He simply stopped his bicycle, sat on the side of the road, and watched people coming and going.

Looking at those people setting up stalls and pushing carts to sell things, Wen Zhichao couldn't help but think of himself in the past. He also carried a box on his back, put the cassettes on it, and then asked every passerby if they wanted cassettes. Many people looked down on him because of his white hair and simply walked away. However, there were also many people who were interested in the cassettes, and after his strenuous persuasion, they still bought them. Although it was hard, he was very happy, because at least there was hope in life.

When I first came to Guangzhou, I was willing to do anything. Although the cost was low at the time, I wasn't worried at all because I didn't have much to begin with. If I lost it, I lost it. I could always make more money. But why am I becoming more and more timid now? Why am I becoming more and more afraid of losing, more and more afraid to try? Is it really because of my wife and daughter? No, even if I lost the tape store, wouldn't I still be able to live? How much money I make, how much can they enjoy? My wife is different. She's busy every day, running the restaurant, taking care of our daughter. As for our daughter, all she wants now is to eat well, sleep well, and have someone change her diapers. How could she understand anything else?

After sitting there for an entire afternoon, Wen Zhichao finally made a decision.

When he returned home in the evening, Wen Zhichao went to see his daughter. She still had a chubby face and was sleeping soundly with her hands raised above her head. From time to time, she moved her pink lips as if she was drinking milk. She was very cute.

Wen Zhichao couldn't help but touch her tender face, which was softer than tofu.

Xia Ruzheng brought him the food he brought back. Wen Zhichao didn't go to the restaurant to eat, so Xia Ruzheng brought the food home and heated it up for him.

Wen Zhichao looked at Xia Ruzheng busy and said, "Okay, don't be so meticulous, sit down and rest for a while!"

Xia Ruzheng placed the steamed egg on the water and said, "You've been tired all day, so of course you need to replenish your energy."

Xia Ruzheng sat down. Wen Zhichao didn't dare look at her and asked, "What do you think about that matter?"

Xia Ruzheng asked back, "What about you?"

Wen Zhichao said: "I...I've made up my mind."

"Have you decided to sell it?"

Wen Zhichao was slightly surprised: "How did you know?"

Xia Ruzheng smiled and said, "Because I think so too."

Wen Zhichao was speechless for a moment, and after a long moment he asked, "Why do you think so?"

Xia Ruzheng said, "I've thought a lot, a lot. I even thought about what would happen when our daughter grows up. If we succeed, we can give her a large dowry. If we fail, there won't be any. But then I can't help but wonder, is our daughter our daughter just for a large dowry? If she doesn't have a large dowry, won't she be happy? If we don't have money, won't our family be happy?"

At this point, Xia Ruzheng couldn't help but smile. "It's actually very easy to answer. As long as we're together, as long as our family can have enough food and clothing, and everyone is harmonious and healthy, that's all that matters, right? If we're not that lucky, we'll still be poor. If we're lucky enough to become a millionaire, we'll be able to make it all back. Finally, I think that if we succeed in this, we'll be better off, but if we fail, we won't be any worse off. Neither of us is incompetent, so why should we be afraid of not making money?"

Wen Zhichao suddenly realized that he had always wanted to give his wife and daughter a good life, but what kind of good life did they want? He hadn't thought it through correctly.

"You are more open-minded than me." Wen Zhichao said.

Xia Ruzheng said, "I'm not open-minded at all. I just want you to do what you want to do."

Wen Zhichao was moved by this sentence. How many wives can tell their husbands to do whatever they want? How many wives can be so understanding and let their husbands do whatever they want?

"Wife, you are the greatest luck in my life."

Wen Zhichao couldn't help but hug Xia Ruzheng, burying his head in her neck and smelling her scent, which was really comfortable.

Xia Ruzheng also hugged him: "You are also my luck. Perhaps, it is you who helped change my fate!"

Wen Zhichao didn’t know, this is the truth.

Once the couple reached a consensus, things became much easier. Wen Zhichao quickly got to work, starting with selling the tape store. It was already October, and the end of the year would be two months away, so there was no need to calculate a lease period, which made things much easier.

Running a factory is more troublesome than opening a store. Not only do you have to find a place, but you also have to find workers, get equipment, and go through various procedures. Each step requires a lot of effort.

Now Xia Ruzheng can't help Wen Zhichao much. She has to look after the restaurant and her daughter, and she is completely unable to spare time.

Fortunately, there are Haisheng and Awang.

Haisheng joked, "Brother Chao, why don't we go work in your factory? You can decide on the wages. If you earn more, you can pay us more. If you earn less, you can pay us less."

Awang patted Haisheng, meaning to tell him not to joke around. They usually have a good relationship and it is normal for them to help each other. Moreover, Wen Zhichao did not treat the two of them badly. They could order whatever they wanted when they went to Family Restaurant for dinner, and Wen Zhichao often gave them some money or things, basically treating them as one of his own.
