Liu Shuhong still came every few days, and still refused to let Erzhuang into her house no matter what.
But since they were husband and wife, she couldn't go too far.
She gave Erzhuang two hundred yuan.
Erzhuang hasn't sold anything yet, as he's not familiar with the various places, and Xiaohu tells him not to rush.
A few days later, Erzhuang set up a pushcart and started selling roasted sweet potatoes.
In the morning, he went to watch people sell their goods and wandered around several nearby areas. In the afternoon, he followed Liu Shuhong to sell sweet potatoes, going wherever she went.
Erzhuang was initially tongue-tied, so some customers bullied him. Liu Shuhong couldn't bear to see Erzhuang being bullied.
Liu Shuhong was originally a feisty person, and now that she's been in the market for so long, she's not afraid of people who try to cheat her.
Erzhuang's roasted sweet potato business has been going on and on, albeit with some setbacks. He can now earn four or five yuan a day. He's really excited and full of confidence in his family's future.
He wasn't afraid that his wife wouldn't forgive him; he would patiently wait and persevere until she forgave him.
Cheng Youfu arrived early and has already adapted. He mainly sells goods. The money he's earning now is something he never dared to dream of before.
This child is thoughtful; he comes to visit Aunt Wei and his sister every few days.
However, he also had his own thoughts. He quite admired Chang Xiaohu. He felt that he could do what Chang Xiaohu could do, but he couldn't yet; he still needed to learn.
Cheng Youfu then told his sister about this plan.
Song Yan strongly agreed. Especially since the child had no jealousy whatsoever, but instead wanted to learn from Xiao Hu and accomplish something great like him.
Cheng Youfu wanted to learn, and Xiao Hu didn't hide anything from him. Whatever Cheng Youfu wanted to do, Xiao Hu was willing to lead him.
Because Xiao Hu believed his second sister-in-law's words, when he wanted to expand his roast duck business, she said, "Kyoto is so big, the whole country is so big. This little business is nothing at all, you don't need to rush."
We need to lay a solid foundation first. Then we can go all out when the policies allow.
Song Yan truly praised Xiao Hu's magnanimity.
He scratched his head sheepishly. The country is so big, why would he be afraid of another Cheng Youfu doing the same business as him?
Song Yan still enjoys looking at houses, just like before. Everyone in her family knows about this hobby.
People went from street to street asking her about it.
Aunt Ji came again. She had found out about the house.
These are the homes of three brothers and cousins; the houses were all built later and are located near Kyoto. Therefore, the prices are relatively cheaper.
Aunt Ji thought that Song Yan had two more sons and might want a house. She really didn't know that Song Yan had bought several houses, otherwise she wouldn't have come.
It just so happened that Shen Ruomei was on break, so Song Yan went with her to look at houses.
Their house consists of a main room, about 50 square meters in size, with a storage room attached to the front. The storage room is quite spacious and could be lived in if tidied up. There are rows of side rooms on the west side of the courtyard.
There's still some space left in the yard, so we can grow some vegetables to eat.
The building area plus the garden area is approximately 200 square meters per unit.
The three courtyards have the same layout.
This type of construction is common in rural areas of Northeast China.
The homeowner chuckled; his family really was from Northeast China.
Because the location is remote, it costs 2,500 yuan per household.
Song Yan didn't think the place was remote.
This house is currently located on the outermost edge of Kyoto, but it may not be in the future.
A house here is something a family might not be able to earn in a lifetime.
"Are you really willing to sell? This price is a bit high!" Song Yan asked.
Aunt Ji only knew that there were houses for sale here, but she didn't know the price was this high. "I only came here to look because my friends told me about it. If we had known you were selling them for this price, we wouldn't have come."
How much does a small courtyard house in the inner city cost? A typical courtyard house there is much bigger than these two of yours.
Think about the price again. You know where I am, so give me a reasonable price.
If it works out, we'll buy it; if not, then forget it.
Do you know why I didn't try to negotiate the price? Your price is outrageous!
The price was still the same in this area, which annoyed Aunt Ji.
When they got home, Shen Ruomei finally couldn't help but ask, "Fourth Sister, why do you like buying houses so much?"
Song Yan: "Isn't it nice to live in such a spacious house?"
Shen Ruomei: "Great! I'll definitely buy one when I have money in the future. Look how happily Yueyue is running around in the yard!"
But you already have one, do you still need to buy another?
Song Yan stared at Shen Ruomei for a long time.
"Why are you staring at me like that!" Shen Ruomei touched her face, thinking there was something on it.
Song Yan: "If you like houses, why don't you buy one in advance!"
Shen Ruomei: "I have no money, and I don't earn any!"
Besides, if I marry someone, wouldn't he have to prepare a house for me?
"By the way, Fourth Sister, do you think it's okay if I help out selling roasted sweet potatoes during winter break?"
Song Yan: "Are you short of money?"
"The little bit of living expenses I give you isn't enough to eat at your house. I can't keep taking advantage of you!"
"Besides, there's nothing wrong with making some money!" Shen Ruomei said.
To be honest, Song Yan really liked Shen Ruomei. She was kind but not weak, and quite opinionated.
Song Yan: "If you want to do something, I'll help you think of something. Let's not get off topic, didn't you say you wanted a yard?"
When you get married, your dad will have to give you money, right? Instead of money, how about buying you a courtyard house as part of your dowry? That courtyard house you're looking at today is quite nice, and the price is negotiable, so why don't you buy it?
"How can you do this? I don't even have a boyfriend yet, how can I ask my dad for money to buy a house as a dowry?" Shen Ruomei glared at Song Yan fiercely.
Song Yan: Silly girl, if I don't encourage you to buy it now, you won't be able to afford it in the future!
"Your dad wouldn't let you go to your in-laws' house empty-handed, would he?"
"House prices are rising, so now is definitely the right time to buy," Song Yan said.
"I'm not buying it, I don't plan to buy it, okay!"
"You're such a house fanatic, why don't you think about buying one yourself!" Shen Ruomei said.
“If I had enough money, I would definitely want to buy it. But you know that they will definitely invest more money in the area of Sandao Street, so I can’t touch the money I have. I like that house, but…” Song Yan said with regret, and it was highly likely that he would not buy it.
Shen Ruomei: "You're short on money? You really want to buy it?"
Song Yan nodded firmly. "I was just wandering around today because I had nothing else to do, and I don't have any money to buy anything."
