Chapter 40: Zhong Xiong's Courtesy
"Who says it's not? It's just a car, not just for food and drink, and it costs more than 600,000 yuan. I'm not one of those big bosses. It's not necessary, not necessary." Yang Fangqin said, shaking her head and refusing to buy it.
Zhong Xiong brought Zhong Linlin and Zhong Xu back. The two children each held a large hemp twist in their hands and chewed it with a crunch.
"Mom, this fried dough twist is so fragrant, so sweet." Zhong Linlin said, rushing over and holding up the fried dough twist to feed Zhong Hui a bite.
Zhong Hui took a small bite and said, "It's really delicious, very crispy."
"Mom, have another bite." Linlin took a bite herself and squinted her eyes to give it to Zhong Hui.
Zhong Hui smiled and touched her head: "Mom doesn't want to eat anymore, you eat it."
"Go watch TV with your brother. Your aunt and I are going to cook dinner."
"I won't watch TV. I'll go to my brother's room to do my homework after I finish eating. The teacher assigned a lot of homework today, and I haven't finished it yet." Linlin said, and walked towards Zhong Xu's room with her schoolbag on her back.
"Look, look, this is the difference between a son and a daughter. A daughter is her mother's little cotton-padded jacket. She never forgets her mother when she has something delicious. And look at my son, he only cares about eating." Yang Fangqin shook her head helplessly.
Seeing that Zhong Xu had finished eating and was about to get something from the bag on the dining table, Yang Fangqin yelled, "Zhong Xu, go do your homework."
Zhong Xu just stretched out his hand, but after receiving his old mother's gaze, he retracted it with a whoosh.
"I'll go right away, right away."
Zhong Xu said this and quickly slipped away, "Do homework, do homework. Being a student is so painful."
Writing an essay is even more painful.
"Wife, go eat some fried dough twists. I'll cook today and show you my cooking skills." Zhong Xiong went to the toilet as soon as he entered the door. Now he came out, took off Yang Fangqin's apron and put it on himself with a smile.
"Are you in such a good mood today?" Yang Fangqin tilted her head and looked at him with a half-smile.
"Of course, today I have to let you see my cooking skills." Zhong Xiong smiled and asked Yang Fangqin and Zhong Hui to go out, while he prepared to cook.
Yang Fangqin and Zhong Hui looked at each other, and the two sisters-in-law walked out of the kitchen in tacit understanding.
"Okay, your elder brother is cooking today, so let's take a break. I'll try this fried dough twist. Come on, Hui, let's each have half." Yang Fangqin picked up a fried dough twist and broke it into two halves.
"Okay, let's eat quickly. If you eat too much, you won't be able to eat later." Zhong Hui took it.
The aunt and sister-in-law sat on the sofa, eating fried dough twists and watching TV, occasionally glancing at Zhong Xiong who was busy in the kitchen.
"Your elder brother is being too attentive for no reason." Yang Fangqin saw through it.
Zhong Hui also understood the situation very well, so she smiled and asked, "So, have you agreed to buy that car?"
Yang Fangqin took a bite of the fried dough twist and said proudly, "Let's talk about it later."
Zhong Hui covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Her sister-in-law was a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. When her eldest brother cooked a meal, the person who had just sworn that it was too expensive immediately changed his mind.
"Okay, if you're short of money, just tell me." Zhong Hui said directly without saying much.
"Of course you should. It's because you are my family's rich lady now." Yang Fangqin joked.
"By the way, I saw the advertisement in the elevator today. How is it? Has anyone come to ask about it?"
"Yes, I probably received twenty calls in one afternoon. I ran around taking people to see houses until my legs were broken, and I also rented out more than ten houses." Zhong Hui silently counted the houses she had rented out today.
"That's good. It seems that houses here are really easy to rent." Yang Fangqin felt relieved after hearing Zhong Hui say this. "It won't be long before they are all rented out."
"I hope so." Zhong also wanted to rent them all out quickly. She still had a lot of things to do.
"Sister-in-law, before, I just wanted to be a landlady, collecting rent and having an easy life every day. Now that I'm really doing it, I realize that being a landlady isn't easy either."
"Now you know, being a landlady is a lot of work, okay? Back in the village, my house only had a dozen rooms, and I had a lot of things to do. I collected rent at the beginning of the month, and at the end of the month, people stopped renting, so I had to find tenants again. I also had to clean every day. It was all a chore."
"Look, you now have two buildings and so many rooms. That's even more troublesome. You're just starting out, so take your time." Yang Fangqin patted Zhong Hui on the shoulder.
Zhong Hui sighed and collapsed on the sofa: "It's not easy to be a landlady."
"That's right." Yang Fangqin laughed so hard that her body shook.
Seeing Zhong Hui staring at the ceiling without moving her eyes, Yang Fangqin said again, "How about I give you some advice?"
"What idea?" Zhong Hui sat up immediately.
"Have you ever heard of a sub-landlord?"
"Sub-landlord?" Zhong Hui shook her head. "Never heard of it."
"You find someone to take care of renting and collecting rent on your behalf as the landlord, and the sub-landlord just has to pay you the rent every month."
"Of course, the sub-landlord will definitely make some money. It just depends on whether you are willing to give it up." After Yang Fangqin finished speaking, she fell silent, letting Zhong Hui think about it herself.
"Sub-landlord?" Zhong Hui muttered to herself, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
She still has a lot of things she wants to do next, such as opening a convenience store and buying a house in the city. She still has time for these things. If she is really busy collecting rent every day, she really won't be able to go anywhere.
It’s really possible to find a sub-landlord like this.
However, this person must be very reliable.
"Hui, if you really want to find a sub-landlord, you must sign a contract, otherwise, you will be in trouble later." Yang Fangqin saw that she was interested and hurriedly reminded her.
"I know, sister-in-law."
"That's fine, as long as you know it."
"Dinner is ready, come and eat." Zhong Xiong's meal was ready, and he carried the last dish to the table.
"The steamed fish today is particularly delicious. You should eat more later. It's so delicious." Zhong Xiong said this while watching Yang Fangqin eat.
"Linlin, Zhong Xu, come out and wash your hands and eat." Yang Fangqin didn't look at him, but turned around and shouted into the room.
The two children had heard the noise long ago and ran out jumping up and down.
"Eat, eat, I want to eat the piece of meat on the fish belly." Zhong Xu shouted as soon as he came out, and was about to pick it up with chopsticks.
Zhong Xiong also stretched out his chopsticks to pick up his chopsticks: "You are a boy, and you are the only one who knows how to eat. This is for your mother to eat. Your mother has worked hard."
Zhong Xiong said, picking up the piece of meat from the fish belly and giving it to Yang Fangqin: "Wife, please eat it quickly."
Yang Fangqin looked at him and smiled, Zhong Xu pouted, thinking that his family status was too low.
Forget it, a real man can bend and stretch. He eats the meat on the back of the fish, it's all meat anyway.
Zhong Hui also picked up a piece of fish for Linlin: "Eat it quickly, it's rare to eat your uncle's cooking."
"Linlin, try it quickly. Is it delicious?" Zhong Xiong looked at Linlin expectantly.
"It's delicious, especially delicious." Linlin nodded heavily.
"Wife, is it delicious?" Zhong Xiong went to see Yang Fangqin again.
"It's okay." Yang Fangqin said casually, "If I make it a few more times, I think my skills will get better."
"No problem, I'll do it as long as I'm free." Zhong Xiong agreed immediately.
"Okay, then I'll be waiting." Yang Fangqin said with a smile.
