“I’ve already inquired about it these past two days. The apartment I just moved out of is small and old, so it won’t sell for much money.”

Ni Fang said with a bitter face, "But I still have another house, but it's in Dongliang's and her sister Lin Xiaomeng's names. Xiaomeng isn't here, so I'm afraid we can't sell it. If we put these two houses together, they should be worth 30,000 to 40,000 yuan."

Xiao Yuanbing frowned. "30,000 or 40,000? I'm afraid that won't be enough."

Ni Qingguo, who had been somewhat expectant, suddenly widened his eyes. "Isn't this enough? Adding the previous 30,000 yuan, it's a total of 70,000 or 80,000 yuan."

"Don't you realize how serious this is?" Xiao Yuanbing said with a grim face. "Before, it was just one person, but now there are three. How can this little money be enough for such a big matter? I've already put a lot of money into it myself, and I don't have any more."

"Besides, this is your family's business, so we can't let your sister pay for it all by herself."

Xiao Yuanbing's words were rather unpleasant, and Ni Qingguo immediately felt somewhat aggrieved.

But right now, Xiao Yuanbing is the only person who can help him, so he doesn't dare to disobey either Ni Fang or Xiao Yuanbing.

“I have no money on me. The three of them are wary of me and didn’t tell me where the money is. But my wife definitely knows. My savings are with my wife. The Yan family’s house has been sealed off by the police, so they can’t sell it. My house belongs to my work unit, so I can only live in it and can’t sell it.”

"In any case, I still need to get my wife out first."

Once Ni Qingguo explained, everyone understood what was going on.

But to put it bluntly, he simply didn't have any money.

For a moment, the situation was at a standstill.

However, Xiao Yuanbing couldn't refuse because Ni Qingguo had a good older sister. At Ni Fang's urging, he reluctantly agreed and tried to use his connections to sell Ni Fang's two houses.

As for what follows—

But there won't be results so quickly.

-

Jiangcheng.

At the entrance to the stock market.

Because the boxed meals tasted so good and there was little competition, business boomed unsurprisingly.

The key issue is that Lin Wei only has so many ingredients available, and once they're sold out, they're gone. If people don't come early, they might not be able to get any.

"Young boss, prepare more, otherwise those who come later won't get any. You don't even realize you're making money when it's right in front of you."

"Not many people play this stock. My amount is about enough for you guys to eat. Maybe it's because you guys promoted it for me. I've noticed that many residents from the surrounding area have come to buy food these past two days, which is why we're running out of food."

The residents at the back of the queue shouted, "We don't need anyone to promote it! The aroma of your braised meat is so enticing that my grandson refuses to eat the rice I've prepared and insists on eating yours. So I had no choice but to come down and buy it."

"Oh, is that so? I thought everyone was promoting it for me."

Lin Wei glanced at the back of the line and saw that the number of people in line had not decreased at all. She quickly shouted, "Stop queuing! Stop queuing! There aren't many left! Everyone, stop queuing!"

Fearing they might not hear him, he quickly sent a few of the younger ones to the back of the line to relay the message.

After selling only the few portions I had on hand, the basin was completely empty.

But those who didn't get any weren't happy. "Hey boss, prepare more! None of us got any!"

"Yeah, I knew they sold boxed lunches at noon, but I didn't bring any food. Now we're going to go hungry all day."

"Also, can you sell your braised pork separately? I'd like to buy a bowl by itself, it smells so good."

"This..." Lin Wei hesitated for a moment, glanced at the tricycle, and then said, "I'll prepare more tomorrow, and see if I'm busy enough to come over."

If she has the time, she naturally wants to earn more money.

But if I'm too busy, then I'm sorry.

-

After happily packing up her stall, Lin Wei took the children and leisurely strolled home, eating ice cream as they went.

"Thank you all for today. Can Yuanyuan stay with you for a while and play with you? I want to go out and buy some things."

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "Sister, what do you want to buy? I want to come along too."

"Go to Jiangzheng Street and get two more insulated containers, and deposit all the money from the last two days into the bank. There are too many people there, so don't squeeze in with me. I can get there faster by myself."

After thinking it over, Lin Yuan agreed.

"Alright."

"Good children, I'll bring you snacks later. Just stay home and play, don't go out, and don't open the door to strangers."

Amid the children's cheers, Lin Wei quickly went to the bank.

She originally had more than 2,000 yuan in her bank card. After deducting the expenses of the past few days and adding the money she earned from setting up a stall for three days, her savings account now has 5,300 yuan.

If she were to actually do it for a month—

If you calculate it carefully, it amounts to tens of thousands.

Jiangcheng is not a first-tier city. Nowadays, the housing price is 400 yuan per square meter, which is barely enough to buy a small commercial apartment.

"No wonder people say that doing business is profitable, it is profitable."

If you honestly earn your salary, you can save up for most of your life and only make a down payment on a house. But if you start a business, given the current situation, two months should be enough.

It truly was a golden age; it was no different from picking up money off the street.

"Oh dear, I can't think about it. If I think about it, I won't want to go to school anymore. All I can think about is money."

-

At dinner time.

Lin Wei hesitated for a moment before starting a casual conversation with Lin Xiaomeng.

"Auntie, I've been running my stall for three days now. Business isn't exactly stable, but there are quite a few people around during mealtimes, and I'm finding it a bit overwhelming. Do you think I should hire someone?"

"You've been working for three days, are you sure your business is stable? Aren't those kids helping you every day? Aren't you busy?" Lin Xiaomeng paused in her chopsticks, carefully choosing her words, "Tomorrow is Sunday, I'm off. I'll go help you for a day. If you're really too busy, we can discuss it again when we get back."
