When Qiao Qingnian mentioned this, he gave the spot to his second son, Qiao Qiuming's family. His third son, Qiao Qiuxin's wife, Wang, sat in a chair, holding a handful of melon seeds and cracking them open, with her son, Zhixiao, sitting in her lap.
Hearing this, he paused for a moment, and although he didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face, he felt uneasy inside.
Now, even the second brother's whole family has been taken care of.
The eldest brother's family fled to Baicheng; the eldest brother and sister-in-law were nowhere to be found.
Although the eldest brother's family hasn't reached a conclusion yet regarding Zhiyi's matter, given the eldest sister-in-law's personality, she'll definitely make things clear. She thinks it's a done deal that Zhiyi has climbed up the social ladder and married into a wealthy family.
The only one who's currently unsettled is herself.
Qiu Xin was assigned to work in a bookstore organizing books. Although the work was easy, he didn't earn much money, only four hundred coins a month.
Even this was a job that Lewazi found for him through someone else.
It wasn't that she complained about the low pay; the little money she earned was enough to support her family of four. It was just that it was far less than the job she had arranged for her second brother.
My second brother works as a head chef in a restaurant, and I heard he earns about one or two taels of silver a month.
But when she got to Qiu Xin's place, she could only be a handyman, and this comparison made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Now not only is the second brother's life complete, but even the affairs of the second brother's eldest daughter, Zhiqin, and his sister-in-law, Li, have been arranged clearly.
Compared to her second sister-in-law, Li, she seemed inferior and could only stay at home taking care of the children, living a life of leisure.
How come when we get to her family, they're inferior to my second brother's family in every way?
It's obvious that the second brother's family and the eldest brother's family are living the high life.
One married into a wealthy family, while the other found hope for the future.
So they just abandoned her and her family.
The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt.
Wang was the type of person who kept everything to herself. When faced with this situation, she would only feel awkward inside, but on her face, she would maintain a polite and poised demeanor, appearing to be a gentle and kind person.
The second daughter-in-law, Li Tianhua, was a reasonable person who never made a mistake and never displeased anyone.
Although the eldest daughter-in-law, Yang Zhaodi, was a strong-willed person who only thought about marrying into a higher social class and valued fame and fortune, making her a mercenary, she was still good to her own family. She had no ulterior motives, was not a bad person by nature, and was straightforward in her actions. She never had any conflicts with her sisters-in-law.
This is also why the three families have been able to maintain a peaceful coexistence and a semblance of harmony.
However, this does not mean that conflicts will not arise.
Just as Anle thought, or even more seriously than Anle imagined, today's events have already begun to plant a thorn in Wang Juni's heart.
"Second sister-in-law, now that we've secured this spot, does that mean you'll have to move to Linghe Commercial Street?"
Although Li Shi had secured a spot, she didn't know the specifics of the situation and had only just heard the news from her father.
"Well... I don't know about this either. I'm afraid I'll have to ask my sister."
Qiao Zhiqin was extremely excited.
"Mother, I'll go find Aunt right now. Aunt and the others must know."
Li stopped Qiao Zhiqin, saying, "You child, don't just jump to conclusions. Once this matter is settled, you'll definitely come and let us know."
What's the rush?
Qiao Zhiqin muttered, "Isn't that why I'm happy?" This was indeed an unexpected surprise. After the Paradise Dessert Shop was demolished, she never thought she would have another chance to learn how to make pastries. She thought it was impossible.
I was quite disappointed about it for a while.
This unexpected joy suddenly came crashing down on her head.
Li's eyes were filled with gratitude.
"Your family is very kind in this matter."
Qiao Qingnian glanced at Li Shi, his voice as rigid and inflexible as ever.
"Just remember the good things she did for you."
In Anle's room, she was still thinking about how to solve the problem on the commercial street. To get it done, she needed to have the resources to supply goods.
She didn't have much time to think, so she had to make arrangements as soon as possible. Taking advantage of the momentum and the fact that the white castle over there was still being talked about by everyone, she went to see it every day.
This is the perfect time to add fuel to the fire.
Anle lightly tapped a piece of paper with her pen. On the paper, a white castle was surrounded by a circle of white buildings.
The pen tip touched that white castle, lost in thought.
This castle can be used as an auction house for the time being.
The first floor will be set up for luxury goods, the second floor for auctions, and the third floor and above will not be open to the public for the time being, serving as her secret residence.
As for the surrounding white buildings, they were originally intended to be commercial buildings by her. Even after accommodating the original merchants, there were still plenty of commercial spaces left over.
Anle thought for a moment, then pulled out the information of the fifty-odd businesses and made a detailed adjustment based on their population, arranging for all of them to move into the staff dormitory building.
When she was working on it, she built several small white buildings in this commercial street, right next to that row of commercial buildings.
Her development is built to the specifications of a modern residential complex.
One apartment building is enough to accommodate more than fifty households.
However, the fine division lies in whether the population is large or small. Those with more people on the household registration are arranged in larger units, while those with fewer people are arranged in smaller units.
The arrangements for these fifty-odd households were quickly made.
Regarding the source of goods, she felt that she had to find ways to vigorously develop self-sufficiency and not rely entirely on her rural ecosystem space.
Under such circumstances, it is necessary to develop agriculture and forestry.
Only in this way can we achieve the standard of self-sufficiency.
However, at present, it is really difficult to cope with the emergency.
We can only prioritize eating and head towards the commercial street for now.
Although she hasn't been able to make a name for herself in other aspects of the commercial street yet, she's doing alright when it comes to food.
Let's develop this area into a food court, offering all kinds of snacks. And when it comes to snacks, the most important thing is spices.
As long as the spices are in place, nothing will taste bad.
Like the delicious food I used to eat at those food stalls in school, which was cheap and delicious.
For example, a simple sesame flatbread, spread with some sweet bean sauce, sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, tastes absolutely amazing.
