The others can just pack up and go back to Xiaojiang County, but what about them? Forget it, they're not starving anyway, so let's not try to take advantage of my sister's family.

That niece is a tough nut to crack, and with that group of reckless construction crew guys, we can't afford to mess with them.

Forty-nine days later, Lin Xiazhu was preparing to go to Beijing to register for university. Lin Chacha had been admitted to a vocational college in the provincial capital last year. Lin Taozi had adapted to life in the town and had been staying there ever since.

With Zhang Yu's mother helping to take care of her, and the mute girl keeping her company, and with Grandma Lin visiting her from time to time, there's not much to worry about.

Lin Xiazhu didn't plan to open the clothing store; she didn't have the energy or time. After asking Zhao Ting's opinion, she transferred the clothing store to Zhao Ting, paying her rent every month and letting her live in the upstairs room.

Zhao Ting is now two months pregnant. Lin Sen is working with Lin Hai on city construction in the county town, while Lin Shanfu has bought two plots of land in the county town and built two buildings, one for each of the two brothers.

However, the location that Lin Shanfu bought was not as good as Lin Xiazhu's, so it was not suitable for opening a clothing store. Lin Sen finished his apprenticeship in car repair and decided to open a car repair shop in the shop downstairs.

The car repair industry is booming right now, and there aren't many car repair mechanics in the county. Although it's hard work, it's quite lucrative.

“It will be harder for you when you get pregnant. Why don’t you listen to your cousin and go back to the auto repair shop while you wait to have the baby?” Lin Xiazhu did not agree with staying at home to have the baby. The clothing store was doing well, and they could hire two people to help. It was better for a woman to have her own income.

“Giving birth isn’t that delicate. I’m perfectly healthy. When my mom was pregnant with my sisters and me, she was going to give birth in the afternoon, but she was still working in the fields in the morning. I’m used to working in the clothing store, so they transferred it to me. The store has a good location and good business, so I’m not willing to give it up to someone else.”

Zhao Ting has worked for their family for so many years and is very familiar with the clothing store business. She also knows roughly how much money a clothing store can make in a month. If the Lin family continues to run the business, she may continue to work in the clothing store.

But now that Xiaozhu is going to transfer the shop, if she doesn't take it over, she'd be out of her mind.

Seeing her firm attitude, Lin Xiazhu didn't say anything more, because she also hoped that Zhao Ting could take over the shop, since this was the corner place where the sisters lived, and it would be inconvenient to rent it to others.

Xiaoxue usually comes back to stay, and she and Chacha also come back to stay during school holidays. If you rent to someone you don't know well, you'll probably have to lock the door to the kitchen.

They only rent out the storefront; the interior space will absolutely not be rented out.

“If you don’t have enough money, you can pay in installments. I’m not in a hurry.” Lin Xiazhu smiled gently. She owns four buildings in the county town. In addition to the shops, the upper floors are also rented out.

She earns several thousand yuan a month and has a considerable amount of savings, so she is not short of money.

Zhao Ting waved her hand generously and laughed, "No need for installments, I'll pay it off for you. Although I've been sending money home over the years, I've also saved tens of thousands of yuan myself, plus Senzi has saved some. If it's not enough, I'll borrow from your uncle and pay him back slowly in the future."

“That works too. Uncle has made quite a bit of money doing contract work over the years. Actually, being a contractor is pretty good. Don’t you two cousins ​​want to take over?”

Zhang Yu and his uncle had both made a lot of money. Last year, they bought land in the county town and built a house. After the house was finished, he wanted his mother to come to the county town to open a restaurant, but his mother didn't want to come.

The main problem is that she can't hear or speak, and she's not familiar with the county town, so she doesn't like coming here.

Zhang Yu had no choice but to rent out the shop first. This year, he planned to break up with Lin Shanfu and start his own business.

After all, Lin Shanfu was getting old and didn't like to travel around, but Zhang Yu and his group were all hotheads in their early twenties who often went to the neighboring county to find work, and even wanted to find work in the city.

“Go ahead and do it. Didn’t Zhang Yu break up with my father-in-law this year? My older brother and Senzi will learn from her whenever they have time. It’s a very lucrative business. So many people are building new houses now, we can’t let this job slip away,” Zhao Ting said with a smile, lowering her voice.

It turns out it was all planned out in advance. Well, with my uncle being such a shrewd person, how could he possibly pass up such a good opportunity to make money?

"You can stay in the room upstairs again, no extra rent. Please keep an eye on Xiaoxue in the future, that girl is cunning, I'm afraid she'll go astray."

Of course, it wasn't about letting Zhao Ting manage Lin Xiaoxue; she couldn't possibly manage her. The main task was to keep an eye on her and call her as soon as any signs of her doing something wrong were detected.

"Don't mention the trouble. We're all family, it's only right." Zhao Ting didn't refuse; she knew what she was doing.

"Actually, I'm still quite worried about Taozi. I really want to take her to the capital, but her studies are really bad. I'm afraid she'll be even more uncomfortable there and will be bullied even more." I can only wait until she graduates from junior high school and then send her to an arts school.

Given that Taozi's academic performance is really bad, we'll have to ask the Bai family for help and force her into the program. But we still hope she can work harder and improve her grades, at least to pass.

"Taozi is lucky to have such a capable older sister like you. Things will get better, so don't worry too much," Zhao Ting comforted her.

The two talked for a while longer, and then began to take stock of the clothing store. It took them three days to figure out the accounts.

"I'm putting Taozi and Xiaoxue's living expenses with you. I'll transfer them over on time every month. You can give Taozi's money directly, but Xiaoxue's money can't be given all at once. It has to be given in three installments, every ten days, to prevent her from spending it recklessly."

Taozi is already twelve years old and lives a very refined life, so Lin Xiazhu trusts her. Lin Xiaoxue is fourteen years old this year and is too shrewd. When Lin Xiazhu is not around, Lin Xiaoxue has let herself go and gone astray, so we need to prevent her from spending money recklessly.
