Chapter 336: Substantial Income

Lu Jingshen smiled after hearing what Lin Jianye said and nodded, "Well, there really is a secret. Xiaoxia helped my second brother and a few friends open this shop. Brother Ma and his friends ship the goods from Bincheng, and we pick them up and sell them here. What a great way to do it! My second brother and his friends don't have to come here often. They just need to order goods regularly. The quantities are fixed. This business suits my second brother."

Lin Jianye's eyes widened. "What? Your second brother has opened a shop and started a business?"

Huang Wanxia also came over after hearing the noise: "What's going on?"

Lin Xiaoxia also followed out: "Mom and Dad, my second brother is doing some small business part-time. It won't interfere with his work. I can help manage it when I'm free."

Lin Jianye frowned and looked at Lin Xiaoxia: "You, you really are, what can I say? I say you are ignorant, but you have done quite a good business. I say you are sensible, but you always scare us..."

Lin Xiaoxia scratched her head: "Dad, Mom, we want to give you a surprise."

Lin Jianye said, "We are not young anymore. If you keep coming here, we really can't handle it anymore."

Lu Jingshen said, "I will watch over Xiaoxia from now on and stop her from making trouble. This time, because the store is not big and there are friends of my second brother, the cost is low, so I didn't tell you."

Lin Jianye said: "Depth of Field is the most sensible. Among these children, I am most proud of Depth of Field. I know what's going on."

Lin Rui also came out: "Mom and Dad, this is Xiaoxia's business for me and Tianming. It just so happens that the three of them are in Bincheng, so it's convenient for shipping. I hired someone to sell it, and it won't interfere with my normal work. We didn't tell you before because we wanted to give you a surprise. Surprise, right?"

Lin Jianye said with a stern face: "You guys can do whatever you want. You can hide such a big thing, you are really amazing."

Lin Rui said, "Dad, don't be angry. Isn't it okay if I don't hide things from you in the future?"

As they were talking, An Ning arrived. She walked over to Lin Jianye and said, "Hello, uncle." She then nodded and said hello to Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen.

When Lin Jianye saw his future daughter-in-law, his stern face lightly smiled: "An Ning is here, you are one of us, just be more casual."

An Ning smiled and said, "Then I'll go into the store and see if I can help you."

After An Ning entered the store, Lin Jianguo and his wife also came.

I was also very surprised when I found out that it was a store opened by Lin Rui.

Zhang Lan said, "These kids are truly amazing. My brain can't even keep up with what they're doing."

Lin Jianye said, "I just realized this morning that they're going to scare me to death sooner or later."

Lin Jianguo couldn't stop laughing: "Brother, we can't enjoy your blessing even if we want to."

While they were talking and joking, Lin Xiao and Wang Lijuan also arrived.

Lin Xiaoxia went over to greet them: "Brother and sister-in-law."

Lin Xiao knew about Lin Rui's shop. He had visited it once before with Lin Rui. He asked, "Are my parents surprised or shocked?"

Lin Xiaoxia smiled and said, "We just got criticized. We won't dare to do that again."

Wang Lijuan had heard Lin Xiao mention Lin Rui's shop before, but she hadn't expected it to be this big. Seeing it so large, she felt a bit jealous. Although Lin Xiao had told her about the shop, it was because he had helped find Lin Mei for free when he went to Bincheng, and it was also because he had the right connections, so he opened the shop. Lin Xiaoxia had also asked Lin Xiao what kind of business he wanted to start, but Lin Xiao himself didn't like business, so he declined.

But Wang Lijuan really wanted to do business. After all, the income from business was too different from that from a fixed salary.

But Lin Xiao had already said that, and she couldn't go against her husband's decision, but she felt uncomfortable.

She wasn't greedy for money, but she felt that her family was getting better and better. Lin Rui's girlfriend opened her own gallery and her family was well-off. Not to mention Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen, each one was better than the other. Wouldn't she be the worst off in the future? She also wanted to work hard, but she couldn't find a place. Her family was also holding her back. She was anxious and nervous, but there was nothing she could do to change. She really wanted to tell Lin Xiao what was in her heart, but she didn't know how to start. She had concealed too much in the past and wanted to say it but didn't dare.

At this time, more and more guests came, and they were clamoring that the auspicious time was about to arrive.

Lin Xiao helped Lin Rui to set off firecrackers. Lin Xiaoxia and the other girls looked outside through the window. Those who did not go out were afraid of firecrackers, so they hid in the house early.

Lu Jingshen was pulled by Lin Jianye to talk to the guests at the door. This son-in-law was the most reliable. At this time, he was still a little angry with Lin Xiaoxia and Lin Rui because they kept this matter from him.

But although he was angry, he was also full of pride. When he met acquaintances and talked about the store opened by his son, his little expression looked so proud.

Lin Xiaoxia couldn't help laughing when she looked at her father, but she also knew that she couldn't make such a fuss in the future. Her parents were old enough and couldn't joke around like that anymore.

Soon the auspicious time arrived, firecrackers rang out, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony began at the door.

After the opening ceremony, the number of customers increased because there were not many stores selling seafood here before, mainly because people in the inland rarely eat it and don’t know how to cook it. Maybe some relatives brought some for them, but they didn’t know how to eat it, and the taste was not good, so they were not that interested in it.

Today, their store not only offers food tasting, but also prints out many recipes for dried seafood, including how to soak and cook them. The recipes are all printed out, and everyone who buys will receive them for free.

Lin Xiaoxia also printed out some benefits of eating seafood, such as kelp for nutritional supplements and shellfish for calcium supplements.

Mainly because of the food tasting, it was very attractive and the store became crowded in a short while.

Lin Jianye and Huang Wanxia took the guests to the hotel booked by Lin Rui, and the younger generation including Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen were there to help.

Wang Lijuan wanted to talk to Lin Xiaoxia alone several times, but she couldn't make up her mind.

She wanted to tell Lin Xiaoxia that she wanted to do business and asked Lin Xiaoxia to help persuade Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao was a person who didn't like to make trouble, but she wanted to give it a try. When she had money in the future, she would be able to raise her children better.

But when she walked to Lin Xiaoxia's side, she always backed away. She was worried that Lin Xiao would think she was troublesome. What she feared most was that her husband would not approve of her, so she still held back.

Business was very good today. After closing the shop in the evening, Lin Xiaoxia and the others did a rough calculation and found that after deducting all expenses, they should have a net profit of more than 2,000 yuan a month. According to the proportion, Ma Tianming, Wang Kai, and Chen Hui each contributed 10%, which means 200 yuan a month each, and Lin Rui contributed 70%, which means 1,600 yuan a month.

Lin Rui, Ma Tianming and the other three were excited about this income. You have to know that they didn't make any investment at all, they just purchased and shipped the goods, and it was Lin Rui who paid the money. The shop didn't have to take care of anything, and they just got a net of 200 yuan every month. This was like a pie in the sky falling on their faces.
