Chapter 131 Chen Xiaohong is a good neighbor

Qin Xiuming took her to see houses and described his and her beautiful future.

Just when she was at the peak of her passion for this relationship, he lightly erased his relationship with her in front of everyone, saying that she was his fellow villager, his sister, and just an ordinary friend of his.

As she grew older, she realized that all the sudden breakups were planned long ago, and she was foolishly unaware of it.

In Qin Xiuming's eyes, the price of betraying her was too small.

Therefore, he did not consider her feelings at all and unilaterally denied his relationship with her.

After he broke up with her, he came back to pursue her again, still without considering her feelings. He thought she would forgive him and reconcile with him. The reason he thought so was that he felt that her background was too low. He was the second son of Jiahe Group, but he was still her superior.

Qin Xiuming would never know that his pursuit again became a second injury to her. He shattered the little pride that was left in her heart.

It turned out that in his mind, she could be summoned at will and dismissed at will.

When on earth did he look at her like this?

The reason why she and Qin Xiuming finally became enemies was not entirely because he fell in love with someone else, but because she felt her self-esteem was hurt and she became angry and embarrassed.

In this life, even if she wants to get married, she will have to wait until she is successful and famous, and then examine men carefully by weighing the pros and cons. She will never be easily coaxed by small favors.

What’s the point of eating, drinking and giving gifts?

What’s the point of just sending a hot drink and asking about your well-being?

She will never be moved by this kind of low-cost contribution again. All men will make this kind of low-cost contribution. They can neither identify sincerity nor loyalty, and they cannot withstand the storms of life.

In his previous life, Qin Xiuming had impressed her with small favors, but when he had a better choice, he dumped her without hesitation, leaving her to face all the ups and downs alone.

What she needs is an ally on the battlefield of life, a partner who stands on the same level as her, a man who has the ability to control the situation and provide her with emotional value. If he can't even do these, what does she want a man for?

As I was thinking, the window started to lighten and it was almost dawn.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. When Chen Guilan woke up, she saw Su Jiaojiao tossing and turning, unable to sleep, so she asked her, "Is there something on your mind?"

"No, I'm awake." Su Jiaojiao didn't expect to disturb her mother, so she sat up and said, "You sleep a little longer, I'm going to school."

"It's only five o'clock. If you go at this time, the school won't be open." Chen Guilan stood up, looked at the watch, and sat up to get dressed. "You haven't told me which floor and room you reserved."

"Oh, it's on the first floor. There's also a branch office." Su Jiaojiao had forgotten to tell Chen Guilan something important. "The building is 108 square meters, with three bedrooms. The branch office is 50 square meters. It's 2,000 yuan per square meter, so the total is 186,400 yuan."

"So expensive?" Chen Guilan exclaimed in surprise. "Where can we get so much money to buy a house?"

She heard from Qin Shuang that the houses in Century Garden cost 800 yuan per square meter and could be bought for 80,000 yuan.

Why is there 180,000 now?

"Mom, we can get a loan." Su Jiaojiao knew this was Chen Guilan's reaction and said nonchalantly, "As long as we have enough for the down payment, we can pay it back slowly. I know what I'm doing."

"I heard the interest rate is very high. Besides, why do you want to buy a branch house?" Chen Guilan knew that they had tens of thousands of yuan in their hands. She could accept 80,000 yuan, but 180,000 yuan scared her. She didn't understand why her daughter wanted to buy a branch house?

"Mom, I picked a first-floor apartment so it'll be convenient for commuting. Think about it, if someone buys the shop downstairs and turns it into a restaurant, will we still be living there?" Su Jiaojiao knew how to impress her mother and patiently explained the situation to her. "If we buy it ourselves, we can rent it out or open our own shop in the future, ensuring a stable income. Besides, we've agreed that after this order is completed, we'll stop doing business, but you'll still have to come back to sell goods for me."

Water flows to low places, and people go to high places.

Setting up a street stall now is just a temporary solution. She can't always do it. If she wants to do business for a long time, she needs a fixed store. While it's still cheap, she must buy a store of her own.

"That makes sense, but it's too expensive." When Chen Guilan heard the 180,000 yuan, she felt heavy in her heart. 800 yuan a month was considered a high salary for her, and even if she worked for five months, it would only be 4,000 yuan, which was of no help at all. Her daughter was in school, so she couldn't devote herself to the business. When would she be able to pay off so many mortgages?

"Mom, you don't have to worry about this." Su Jiaojiao knew that her mother would be thinking about this all day long, so she comforted her, "Don't worry, we've only paid the deposit now, and the down payment hasn't been paid yet!"

We’ll talk about it when the time comes.

Even if you pay it now, it will be enough, just take out a larger loan.

"When do I pay the down payment?" Chen Guilan didn't quite understand the difference between a down payment and a deposit. "Is the deposit refundable?"

"The deposit is non-refundable. When you pay the down payment, it will be counted as part of it." Su Jiaojiao felt it was necessary to explain this clearly to Chen Guilan. "When you apply for a loan, you'll also need a proof of employment. Just ask Aunt Qin to issue one for you."

She wanted this house to be under Chen Guilan's name.

This is her gift to her mother.

"My employment certificate?" Chen Guilan didn't understand.

"Mom, this is your house, so of course we need proof of your employment." Su Jiaojiao patiently explained to her, "The loan is a matter between us and the bank. The bank will only lend us money based on our ability to repay."

"We'll talk about it later!" Chen Guilan became more and more confused as she listened. "Whenever you need proof, just tell me and ask Aunt Qin to give you one."

After May Day, the weather quickly became hot.

Especially at noon, many people took off their long sleeves and put on short-sleeved shirts.

Chen Guilan goes to work and Su Jiaojiao goes to school, so neither of them has time to sell goods.

More than a thousand short-sleeved T-shirts were piled up in the house and there was no time to sell them. There was really no other way, so Su Jiaojiao first gave two T-shirts to Chen Xiaohong, and then discussed with her to hang those short-sleeved T-shirts under her vegetable shed for sale, and give Chen Xiaohong a commission of two yuan for each T-shirt sold.

It’s not a problem for Chen Xiaohong to sell twenty pieces a day.

With a commission of two yuan, she would earn forty yuan.

It is said that neighbors should get along well with each other. If they get along well, it can be mutually beneficial and a win-win situation.

"No problem." Chen Xiaohong, who was always carefree, patted her chest and promised, "Leave it to me. I promise to sell it to you clearly. Just study hard."

Facts have proved that Chen Xiaohong is indeed a good neighbor.

After selling vegetables every day, she no longer rode her motorcycle around, but continued to sell clothes to Su Jiaojiao, waiting for Su Jiaojiao to come back from evening self-study before closing the shop. Then the two of them settled the day's payment, settling the bill in cash every day.

Chen Xiaohong doesn't care about small profits and doesn't want to settle the accounts herself, so she leaves it all to Su Jiaojiao.

Su Jiaojiao has always been generous. For example, if Chen Xiaohong sold 24 items and the commission was 48 yuan, she would give her 50 yuan directly. If she sold 29 items and the commission was 58 yuan, she would give her 60 yuan. During this period, she would also give Chen Xiaohong small gifts from time to time.

Chen Xiaohong doesn't like pushing and shoving. She takes whatever Su Jiaojiao gives her. Sometimes when she buys fruit, she will also give some to Su Jiaojiao. The two of them get along better and better.

Any relationship can only go further if it is a win-win situation.

It is far from enough to maintain the friendship between friends with just that little bit of friendship.
