In her previous life, Lin XiaZhu and her sister were forced by their family to earn money; both reluctantly went into the mountains to search for ginseng, but accidentally fell off a cliff. Her sis...
"Cha Cha, delivering food is exhausting. Let's quit this business and go into the building materials business instead," Lin Xiazhu and Lin Cha Cha whispered to each other in the master bedroom.
“I think so too. The wives of Zhang Yu, Zhang Shengli, and Zhang Longfei will come to manage the fast food restaurant business. There are too many partners, and I also think it’s not appropriate.” Lin Chacha still wants to run the business on her own.
However, the capital city is not like their small hometown. She and Song Cheng have several million in savings, but spending it in the capital wouldn't be much. Plus, they have two children who will need to go to school in the future, so several million really isn't much.
"Don't worry about the money. Just do it yourself. And don't worry about not getting orders. Your brother-in-law is there. I'll lend you whatever you need. And if all else fails, there's Xiaoxue. She has quite a bit of savings now."
You can stay in the houses here as you like. I also have a villa, which is my private property, the one we stayed in one night before. Your brother-in-law gave me several houses. When you make some money, I'll give you half of this house; you can give me whatever you want and I'll sell it to you.”
Lin Chacha's eyes lit up, and she pressed her advantage, saying, "Why don't you sell it to me now? You only spent a little over 500,000 when you bought it, so I'll give you 200,000. You can give it to me at half price as a family gift."
Lin Xiazhu: "..." I'm speechless. She's even more greedy than me. Oh well, she's my own sister. I promised to give her whatever I wanted, so I'll just sell it to her for 200,000.
“Okay, it’s too late today. We’ll go transfer the title tomorrow morning, and then the house will be yours.” Lin Xiazhu poked her forehead, her eyes full of smiles.
That evening, Song Cheng was quite surprised when he found out. "They sold it to us for 200,000 yuan. House prices are rising very fast these days. I heard that a house like this in this location would cost at least 2 million yuan. Didn't you lose a lot of money, sister?"
"It was my eldest sister who said she wanted to give it to me. Don't feel uncomfortable. She has two other properties, and her husband gave her several houses when she got married. She also has a villa. My eldest sister knows what she's doing. I'm her own sister, and she's only giving it to me so cheaply because she loves me." Lin Chacha didn't feel embarrassed at all. Her eldest sister was never stingy when she had money.
Previously, it was my eldest sister and Yan Xin who invested money to start the pig farm, which enabled them to succeed. And the success of the pig farm was inseparable from the support of a large amount of capital. Later, when the pig farm stabilized and started to make money, Yan Xin was the first to withdraw her shares.
Not long after, the eldest sister also withdrew her shares. Lin Cheng was always very grateful to them. He thought he had earned enough, had a career and a family, and just wanted to live a peaceful life.
Now I'm coming to Beijing to develop my career, and everything has to start all over again. The money I have doesn't feel like money anymore. If I want to buy a house or settle down, even a few million won't be enough.
Song Cheng was feeling down. It seemed like he had to rely on Cha Cha for everything. If it weren't for Cha Cha's older sister, he definitely wouldn't be able to give her such a good life.
"Don't do that, are you getting stubborn again?" Lin Chacha knew from Song Cheng's expression that he was being obstinate. "If you dare to think that you're a kept man, that you have to rely on me and my sister for everything, and that you feel bad and inferior, Song Cheng, let me tell you, if you're really that narrow-minded..."
"We'll get a divorce tomorrow. What's wrong with relying on others for a while? We're not so spineless as to just wait for handouts. My older sister gave me this house for 200,000 yuan, and the deed is in my name. It's my private property. If you feel cramped living here, you can move out anytime."
Lin Chacha is just like that; she doesn't like to hide anything. If she can't hold back her words, she has to say them clearly right away. Song Cheng has been with her for so many years and knows her very well. He knew she was really angry, so he quickly tried to coax her.
"It was my fault, don't be angry, I apologize, okay?" Song Cheng saw that his twin sons were having fun by themselves and hadn't paid attention to them, so he hugged Lin Chacha tightly.
"Let go, don't touch me, the children are here." Lin Chacha's face flushed slightly, and she gave him a symbolic, light push, though of course, she didn't actually push him away.
"Cha Cha, my wife, I was wrong. Please don't be angry with me. This house is yours, and I am yours too. I want to live with you and the children forever. Please don't kick me out," Song Cheng coaxed gently.
"That's more like it," Song Chacha pouted, playfully punched him lightly, and then pulled him to sit down to talk. "Let's not sell the house in the county town for now. Once we're settled in the capital and have more money, we'll buy a bigger house. That way, when our son grows up, each of us can have our own." After saying that, Lin Chacha quickly frowned again.
"What's wrong?" Song Cheng asked.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little sleepy. I'm going to take a shower first. You watch the two little ones." Lin Chacha took her pajamas and went to the bathroom. Actually, she had just been thinking about having a second child. What if she had another son?
Does that mean each of them has to prepare a house? Wouldn't that exhaust her and Song Cheng? No way. If they have another son, she and Song Cheng will live in one house, and the other house will be sold. The money will be divided among the sons, and they won't care about the others.
Actually, Song Cheng didn't want to have a second child. After all, the first child was twin sons, and having another child would incur a fine. He also felt sorry for Lin Chacha, who was having a hard time taking care of the children during her pregnancy. However, Lin Chacha was stubborn and insisted on having another child, saying that his family was too poor and that he should have more children.
Song Cheng felt both touched and conflicted. Cha Cha was so good to him. The happiest thing in his life was meeting Cha Cha and being able to marry her.
Zhang Yu knew that Song Cheng and Lin Chacha wouldn't partner with them, but he didn't say anything. In fact, he had expected it. Lin Xiazhu was in Beijing, and the Bai family was so rich. She would definitely help Lin Chacha and Song Cheng, so they wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to partner with them.
Zhang Yu, Zhang Shengli, and Zhang Longfei have been contracting construction together for many years. They grew up together, trust and understand each other, and are used to working together, so there's nothing wrong with them. However, they have no business cooperation with Song Cheng. If Song Cheng really wants to partner with them, they are actually a little embarrassed.
Now things are much better. Song Cheng and Lin Chacha can start their own business. With Zhang Chaoyang guiding them, it won't be too difficult for them to get started in Beijing, since they have some money.
After settling things here, Zhang Yu and the others went back first, and will come back after they've finished dealing with their business back home.
With Bai Ru'an's help, Song Cheng and Lin Chacha have already started to open a building materials store. The business license, storefront, and materials are all ready, but they need to go back to their hometown first.
Since we've decided to move to Beijing, we need to make some arrangements for the businesses back home. We definitely can't manage the pig farm anymore. We'll ask Song Cheng's two cousins if they're willing to continue raising pigs. If they don't want to, we'll sell all the pigs and transfer the veterinary shop. We don't need to worry about pig feed.
Many people are now raising pigs, and pig feed sells quickly. As long as we don't restock, there won't be any inventory buildup... It will probably be another month or two before we can come back.
"It's alright, you can go back without worry. The lady at the building materials store will keep an eye on things for us until you come back. We'll officially open for business then, but I'll try my best to find you some customers in the meantime, otherwise the rent will be wasted," Lin Xiazhu joked.
