After Xia Enruo finished collecting the clothes, she led Wu Shaojun to the shop.
The renovation workers were working hard when they saw Xia Enruo come in and greeted her.
"Girl, do you think this outline matches what you requested?"
"That's right, brother, it's exactly the shape I requested."
Wu Shaojun stood aside, dumbfounded, staring at the huge street-front shop, which was also two stories high.
My God, how much money will this cost?
"Sis, did you really buy this?"
"How could it be fake? So, what do you think, Liang?"
Wu Shaojun walked around the entire floor and exclaimed:
"This is huge, sis. You're the richest person I know now."
"There's a second floor. Go up the stairs from here."
She then led Wu Shaojun to the second floor to visit the construction site.
"A restaurant on the first floor and a laundromat on the second floor, what do you think, sis?"
Wu Shaojun gave a thumbs-up and praised:
"You're really something, no wonder you're my sister. Did you earn all this money by washing clothes and selling takeout?"
"Yeah, how about that? You can't believe it, can you?"
"I dare not. I never thought that washing clothes and selling boxed lunches for students could earn so much money. If I told people about these jobs, no one would be interested in them."
How ignorant I am!
Xia Enruo agreed with what Wu Shaojun said. When she first started collecting and washing clothes, even the wives in the military dependents' home looked down on it, thinking that the job was too lowly.
They were no different from the old maids who were bought by landlords in the old society, washing and cleaning for people every day and doing some hard work.
Even Tian Xiuli and the others advised themselves that with such good cooking skills, it would be great to apply for a chef position at a restaurant.
But they never imagined that decades later, the most profitable and sought-after people in society would be big bosses and skilled craftsmen.
Although it is only the 1980s, Xia Enruo believes that with her success, she will definitely be able to change the stereotypes people around her have about doing business.
"Let's all become prosperous together."
"How about it, Shaojun? Why don't you come work with me? I guarantee you'll earn more than you do now."
Wu Shaojun was indeed somewhat tempted by what she said, but then he thought about it again. What if his older sister found out that he didn't want the job she had asked someone to find for him and instead went into business with Xia Enruo?
She definitely wouldn't agree in her heart; she'd probably berate herself mercilessly.
"Sister, I may have the desire, but I don't have the guts. If you find out, I'll be in big trouble."
She even helped me find this job through connections.
Xia Enruo knew that Wu Meixia only had this one precious younger brother and didn't want to see him suffer. Shaojun's words were understandable.
"Alright, Shaojun, I was just kidding. If you really want to start a business in the future, you can come to me and I'll give you some advice."
"No problem, since you're my god-sister, don't find me annoying later."
"By the way, sis, what was it that you wanted me to do for you?"
Xia Enruo got so caught up in chatting that she forgot about the important matter.
"Look at me, I only remembered to chat with you. I'm expanding my shop, and I'm thinking of getting two more used washing machines, a sewing machine, and an overlock machine."
"Could you spare some time to take me to the scrap yard and the secondhand market again?"
Wu Shaojun thought it was something difficult, but when he heard it was just a small matter.
"Sis, I thought it was something else. Don't worry, I'll come over and drive you around whenever you have time, and we can have a good look around."
Buy everything you need. Yongning City also has several secondhand markets and scrap metal collection stations; I'll take you there later.
The two were chatting enthusiastically.
After Gu Shaoxuan finished work and returned from the regimental headquarters, he did not go home but had Yuan Qiang deliver him directly to the shop.
Xia Enruo is currently supervising the construction at the shop whenever he has free time, so he rushed over to help, also to protect his wife's safety.
To prevent a repeat of the previous accident.
"Hey Lao Gu, you've really struck it rich! This huge two-story shop, did you really buy it?"
Yuan Qiang got out of the car, looked up, and sighed.
"How could it be fake? Your sister-in-law bought it with the money she earned from her business!"
"You mean your sister-in-law ran the business for a few months and then bought this shop?"
Yuan Qiang was incredulous. Xia Enruo's deal was too good to be true. No wonder she didn't want to do the job she was offered.
The income is so high that it's incomparable to working in a factory.
The two entered the house and saw that Wu Shaojun was also there. Gu Shaoxuan went up to greet him.
"Shaojun is here!"
"Brother-in-law, you're off work. My older sister told me that Sister Enruo had some trouble a few days ago, so I came to check on her."
Gu Shaoxuan now trusts Wu Shaojun completely, and his attitude has softened considerably; he's no longer jealous.
He knew that Wu Shaojun was a steady person and had helped his family a lot.
He was really worried that Xia Enruo would leave him, so he got jealous whenever he saw other boys getting close to him.
Now that Xia Enruo has promised him not to get a divorce, he feels much more at ease.
Wu Meixia had helped a lot before, and now Wu Shaojun came to visit again. This family is truly kind and loyal.
"Yes, I just got back from get off work. I have to thank Sister Meixia for what happened last time. If it weren't for her contacting the police, we wouldn't have been able to get things done."
If Enruo's chances of survival are truly slim, we were even discussing when to visit my older sister at home.
Wu Shaojun was overjoyed to hear that the two were going to his house.
"Of course! I've been wanting to eat Sister Enruo's cooking. I'll go to her house and let her show off her skills again."
Yuan Qiang toured the building from top to bottom.
I must say, this house is really spacious and bright, and the total area must be close to 500 square meters.
