Chapter 082 How about I form a partnership with my second sister-in-law?
The two smiled at each other.
Walking out together, Fan Qingyi just mentioned the purpose of coming here. Liu Feifei happened to have nothing to do, "I'll accompany you around. This is where I often played hide-and-seek with my friends when I was a kid. It's easy for ordinary people to get lost in it..."
She looked down at her torn clothes and felt a little embarrassed, "Second sister-in-law, you have to accompany me back to change clothes first."
Fan Qingyi originally said that she didn't need her to accompany him, but Liu Feifei said, "What if Li Zexi follows me, I have to rely on my second sister-in-law's kitchen knife to scare him."
"This..."
It was really hard for her to refuse. After
the two came out of the alley, Liu Feifei waved for a car on the side of the road, and the car quickly took them to a large courtyard.
Liu Feifei paid and got off the car, taking Fan Qingyi to the tube building.
Knowing that Fan Qingyi was shy, she told her when they went upstairs, "My parents are both working at the town government and are not at home."
Fan Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief.
After changing clothes, Liu Feifei took out an envelope and placed it on the tea table in the living room.
She poured water for Fan Qingyi to make tea, "Second sister-in-law, what kind of house are you going to find? Will you live here by yourself or will you live with A'li and Zhuzhu? Have you decided what kind of stall to put up?"
"I haven't decided yet."
Fan Qingyi took the cup of water and thanked, "The village... won't let us live here anymore. I want to live with A'li and Zhuzhu in the town."
"...Why?"
Liu Feifei didn't understand. A'li and Zhuzhu were Li's flesh and blood after all. Why didn't they let them live here alone?
Fan Qingyi lowered her eyes, watching the tea leaves floating in the cup, then raised her eyes and smiled at Liu Feifei.
It was a smile that didn't reach her eyes. There was a strong and suppressed sadness in her eyes.
Liu Feifei felt that it was not a good memory and changed the subject immediately.
"Then...are you planning to set up a stall near the textile factory?"
Fan Qingyi nodded, "Auntie Song's son and daughter-in-law are there, and asked me to go over and say that they want to take care of it."
"I know, Auntie Song is the midwife of our village...Shanhe Village, and like...Li Zexi's father, they both have the craft inherited from their ancestors." Liu Feifei smiled.
"There are many people at the textile factory, so you can give it a try. Most of the people living nearby are people who didn't get a house in the factory, so it should be easy to find a house. Do you have a budget for renting a house?"
Budget?
Fan Qingyi calculated the money left in his hand, "I don't have much money, I want to rent a cheaper one, about five yuan."
Liu Feifei frowned.
What good house can you rent for five yuan?
She opened her mouth to persuade him, but thought of Fan Qingyi's current situation, and sighed in her heart.
She pushed the prepared envelope on the table to Fan Qingyi's hand, "Second sister-in-law, here is two hundred yuan, you take it first..."
"No, I still have money, I should be able to hold on until I make some money..."
"There are all kinds of variables when setting up a stall to do business, this money...how about I become a partner with Second sister-in-law?"
[If you directly say you want to give money, Second sister-in-law will definitely say no for the sake of her face, and it is not appropriate to lend money, so just say you want to join the partnership, which can not only help Second sister-in-law out of trouble, but also keep her from thinking too much.
Liu Feifei deliberately showed an interested look, "There is a big sister in our supply and marketing cooperative who sold her job and set up a stall to sell Liangpi. I met her a few days ago and she told us that she could earn a month's salary in one day. I was very excited to hear that. I have always wanted to try it, but my parents won't let me..." She
sighed with regret and looked at Fan Qingyi with sparkling eyes, "It's just right. I will pay the money and my second sister-in-law will provide the skills. Then we will split the profit 20-80, you get 80 and I get 20-20. I also want to experience being a small stall owner."
Fan Qingyi looked at Liu Feifei and was a little moved.
"Feifei, I can't guarantee that I can make a lot of money."
"It's okay. I mainly want to be a small boss and experience it." Liu Feifei smiled.
Fan Qingyi thought about it and took the envelope, "Okay."
She really needed money.
Seeing that she accepted it, Liu Feifei breathed a sigh of relief. The two talked for a while, and Liu Feifei took Fan Qingyi on a bicycle to look at houses near the textile factory.
Fan Qingyi was shy, but Liu Feifei had grown up here and was very familiar with the place.
He took her around and around, and actually asked about a few places with cheap prices and good environments.
The two went straight to them. They
went to the cheapest one first. Not only was the yard dirty and messy, but there was also a mentally ill person living there who would take out a knife and chop people at any time.
Liu Feifei took Fan Qingyi and left, and the landlord shouted behind them, "You don't have to pay, just cook for my son every day..."
The two walked faster.
They went to several houses in a row, and either the yard was dirty and there was no toilet, or the landlord was too weird. Finally, they saw a yard with a sign saying "For Rent "
on the side of the road, and Liu Feifei took Fan Qingyi inside.
A family of three lived in the yard, and they rented out the two empty rooms on the west side. "Are you two girls going to live here?" The hostess who negotiated with them saw that the two of them were clean and tidy, and seemed quite willing to rent the house. Fan Qing shook his head and said, "I'll live here with my three children." The hostess said, "That's fine. The children are a little noisy and you have to keep them in check. They can't damage anything in our yard. Also, the rent is twelve yuan a month, payable every three months. If you want to cook and make a fire, you have to build the stove and pay for the firewood yourself. We don't provide it." Liu Feifei looked around. The yard was kept clean and tidy by the hostess. There was even a dry toilet in the corner, so there was no need to compete with a group of people on the street for a public toilet. "Twelve?! Too expensive. We are sincere in renting the house, please give us the lowest price." The hostess glanced at Fan Qingyi and frowned, "The lowest price is ten yuan. With so many children, it will be very noisy." "Second sister-in-law, what do you think?" Liu Feifei asked Fan Qingyi in a low voice. Fan Qingyi also thought it was clean, but the rent was indeed a bit beyond her budget. "How about we go around and look for something else?" The hostess sighed, "You can ask around. My yard is the only one around here that is as big as mine. It is not only clean, but also has a well and a dry toilet. Other houses don't have such good conditions."
Liu Feifei looked at Fan Qingyi, thought for a moment, and leaned over to her ear, "How about bargaining, seven yuan?"
Fan Qingyi hesitated for a moment and nodded.
The living environment of several children is also very important. She worked hard to earn back the money she spent.
Seeing that she agreed, Liu Feifei immediately negotiated with the hostess, "Seven yuan, paid once a month. If you agree, we can settle it now."
"Seven yuan? It's too little. I can't rent it." The hostess waved her hand.
Liu Feifei imitated the hostess and sighed, "Go out and have a look, whose house is so expensive to rent now? There are only two rooms, and it's so far from the textile factory. It takes a lot of time to get there, otherwise your house would have been rented out long ago, right?"
Liu Feifei really guessed it right. This yard is good in every way, but it's a bit far from the textile factory. Many people asked about it but decided not to rent it out because it's too far.
It's been vacant for more than half a year.
The hostess frowned and glared at Liu Feifei, "Nine yuan, the least. If you want to rent it, rent it. If not, forget it."
