"Yes, you should open the shop now. Your two sons are waiting for you to buy them houses and get married in the future."
There will be many more places to spend money in the future. Once the store is on track, I can pay it back slowly.
The most important thing now is to give you a livelihood so you don't have to think about going to other places to work anymore.
As Li Yanhong listened to her brother and sister-in-law's words, tears streamed down her face.
She originally thought that after the divorce, she would have nothing left.
She never expected her brothers to take such good care of her, preferring to pay for it themselves rather than let her suffer in another place.
"Brother, sister-in-law..." she sobbed, "I...I really don't know what to say."
"Then stop talking. Hurry up, everything's already arranged over there, they're just waiting for you to go and complete the formalities."
Ye Xiaoxiao pulled Li Yanhong into the car and told Li Chenyang to drive over.
Standing at the entrance of the new store, Li Yanhong looked at the "Hongyan Clothing Store" sign, feeling both excited and apprehensive.
This was the name Ye Xiaoxiao came up with for her shop, saying she wanted her life to be as prosperous as the shop sign.
The store wasn't large, but it was clean and tidy, and the shelves were filled with all kinds of clothes.
The goods were all sourced directly from the garment factory in the south by my sixth brother, and they were even cheaper than Ah Ying's and the others'.
Move that red dress forward; the weather's warming up these past few days, so people should come to buy spring clothes.
It's been half a month since we opened, and business is doing alright. Although it's not as good as Ah Ying's shop, it's enough to cover our expenses.
What makes Li Yanhong most gratified is that her two sons often come to the store to do their homework after school, allowing her to take care of the business and look after her children at the same time.
"Mom, we're back!" Li Yong and Li Kun pushed open the door and came in, carrying their schoolbags.
"Go and finish your homework, then help Mom watch the shop for a while."
Li Yanhong said with a smile. Seeing her two sons nodding obediently, she felt a warmth in her heart.
During this time, the children have become more sensible than before and know how to care for her.
Just as I was busy, the phone rang. It was Ye Xiaoxiao calling: "Yanhong, how's business today?"
"It's alright. I sold a few items this morning, and people asked about prices this afternoon too."
As Li Yanhong was speaking, she suddenly remembered something.
"Sister-in-law, when will that batch of children's clothes you mentioned arrive? Now that the weather is warmer, a lot of people are asking about children's clothes."
"It's already on its way and will arrive tomorrow. By the way, I heard from Yanni that something happened to Chen Dashun." Ye Xiaoxiao's tone was somewhat gloating.
Li Yanhong was taken aback: "What happened?"
"Wasn't he the security captain at the factory? I heard his veteran's certificate was fake, and it got caught. The factory fired him right away, and now he's only doing manual labor at a new factory, earning only 1,500 a month."
Li Yanhong was silent for a moment: "Serves him right."
"That's for sure. Guess what? Zhang Yue found out his salary was so low, and she dumped him. I heard she even called him a good-for-nothing and said he lied to her."
Li Yanhong suddenly laughed: "Sister-in-law, you know what? I suddenly feel incredibly relieved. I used to think it was because I wasn't good enough that he went to find other women. Now I realize he's the one who's a scoundrel."
"That's right. He's definitely regretting it now that you're doing so well. Oh, by the way, it's almost May Day, I'll have Lao Liu send you a batch of new styles, all the latest trendy designs. They all have those popular idol drama stars' pictures on them, I heard students really like them. You can ask Xiao Yong and Xiao Kun what kind of clothes the students like when you have time..."
After hanging up the phone, Li Yanhong looked at the bustling scene in the shop, her heart filled with gratitude. If it weren't for her brothers' help, she wouldn't be where she is today. Thinking of Chen Dashun's current predicament, she felt no sadness at all; instead, she felt that God was avenging her.
"Sister Hong, how much is this dress?" a young girl asked, pointing to a floral dress in the shop window.
"It's 45 yuan. We're having a promotion now, buy two and get 10% off," Li Yanhong enthusiastically introduced. "Why don't you try it on? This style would suit you perfectly."
As business improved day by day, Li Yanhong gradually found her footing as a boss. She began to learn how to read the ledgers, research which styles were popular, and became more experienced in purchasing inventory. Every night after closing the shop, she would spend time organizing the shelves and planning the next day's work.
That day, Li Yanhong was busy in the shop when she suddenly heard people arguing outside.
At this moment, Chen Dashun, who was exhausted and had leg pains after a long day at work, came back to find Zhang Yue packing clothes.
What are you doing?
Chen Dashun used to work as a warehouse manager in Li Chenjun's factory, and he lived a very comfortable life there.
It can be said that Li Chenjun basically just had him put on a show in the factory, and then paid him a monthly salary of 4,500 yuan.
Now that he's started working, he gets yelled at like a dog by the foreman every day, who says he's slow, incompetent, and produces a lot of defective products.
"Let's break up. We've already talked about it before. How can you afford to support me now? I'm going home."
Since Zhang Yue started dating Chen Dashun, she hasn't worked much. Chen Dashun used to be able to give them two thousand yuan a month for living expenses.
She lived quite comfortably without working, but not anymore; she's almost run out of money.
Chen Dashun became a general laborer again, earning only 1,500 yuan a month even after working himself to the bone.
The two of them barely had enough to live on, and saving money was out of the question. Zhang Yue was still young, and she didn't want to waste any more time with Chen Dashun.
"How dare you break up with me like that? I got divorced for you!" Chen Dashun grabbed Zhang Yue's arm and wouldn't let go.
