In the evening, Weng Hong and her husband Liu Jianguo were having lunch.
Liu Jianguo noticed that his wife seemed different today; she looked very happy.
So he picked up a piece of fish for his wife and asked, "Ah Hong, did you have some good news today?"
"Could it be a promotion?"
Weng Hong smiled and said excitedly to her husband, "Old Liu, I am indeed very happy today, but it's not because of a promotion."
"What else could it be but a promotion?"
Liu Jianguo asked in confusion.
"I saw my son-in-law setting up a stall at the entrance of our hospital again today."
You didn't see the scene outside the hospital this afternoon! Our son-in-law, Xiao Yu, really has a knack for business; his underwear and clothes sold like hotcakes, and there were so many people gathered around!
Liu Jianguo took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and asked in confusion, "Ah Hong, what did you just say?"
Say it again, I didn't hear you clearly.
Liu Jianguo thought he was hard of hearing and had misheard. What kind of man sells underwear? How embarrassing!
"Old Liu, are you getting old and your ears are acting up?"
I'd better go to the hospital for a check-up another day!
I just mentioned that Xiaoyu sells underwear, and of course, clothes, outside our county hospital.
Many people buy it, especially young girls.
Old Liu, you have good taste.
"What?
Is Xiao Yu really selling underwear?
How could he possibly accept that!
They are not afraid of what others might say.
Ah Hong, are you sure you're not mistaken?
Liu Jianguo could hardly believe it.
Weng Hong glared at Liu Jianguo, put down her chopsticks and said, "Would I lie to you?"
I saw it with my own eyes: after trying on the underwear and clothes, the women were like completely different people, and they all rushed to buy them.
If there weren't so many people, and so many of them were acquaintances, I would have bought two sets to wear.
This kid is really good at making money.
Besides, can't men sell women's underwear?
Who made that rule?!
As long as it makes money, that's fine; I haven't done anything immoral or unethical.
Weng Hong felt that her husband's idea was wrong and retorted.
"Yes, yes, my wife is right. As long as we don't steal or rob, we can sell anything."
I was being narrow-minded.
Liu Jianguo quickly apologized to his wife.
My thinking is too old-fashioned.
"By the way, Lao Liu, there's something I need to discuss with you."
Today I heard my son-in-law say that he wants to rent a shop to open a clothing store.
He said that from now on, everyone can go to the store to buy clothes if they want to.
I was thinking, shouldn't we support Xiaoyu and buy him a shop so he can open a clothing store?
Liu Jianguo pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Buying a shop is no small amount of money. Although Xiao Yu seems clever, doing business is not without its risks."
"What if we lose money? Wouldn't that mean all that money went down the drain?"
Liu Jianguo was still somewhat conservative, not because he didn't trust his son-in-law.
Weng Hong rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're too conservative. Look at Xiao Yu's performance today. Do you think he's the kind of person who would do a losing business?"
Besides, we only have one daughter, and we'll all have to rely on him in the future.
Supporting him in opening the shop is also a way to pave the way for our daughter's future life.
Moreover, having a shop means it's not afraid of wind or sun.
Liu Jianguo was somewhat swayed by what Weng Hong said and asked, "So, have you decided how big of a shop you want to buy, and how much money are you prepared to spend?"
He recalled all the things his son-in-law had done for him. He remembered how well Xiao Yu treated his daughter, Su Lan, and how extremely filial he was to his parents.
Weng Hong's eyes lit up, and she said, "I think we should buy a 100-200 square meter apartment, somewhere in the commercial street with lots of foot traffic."
As for the money, we have some savings, right? Let's take it out and give Xiaoyu a shop so he can get started.
The two elderly people have salaries anyway, and they will have pensions in the future, so they don't have to worry about running out of savings. Besides, this is only temporary.
Liu Jianguo smiled helplessly, not expecting his wife to be so generous this time.
He nodded and said, "Alright, you've already planned it all out, what else can I say?"
It's settled then. I'll go and inquire about the shop tomorrow.
However, we've agreed that once we buy this shop, Xiao Yu will run it himself. We shouldn't interfere; young people have their own ideas.
I also have something I'd like to share with you.
Liu Jianguo was afraid that his wife would interfere in other people's shop affairs.
Weng Hong nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course, we'll help him take this first step, and then it's up to him to do what he can."
I'm confident that Xiaoyu will make the clothing store a huge success, and maybe she'll even open a chain store someday, hahaha.
We can also enjoy the benefits.
"By the way, Lao Liu, you said you had something you wanted to tell me, go ahead and say it!"
"Xiao bought a house, but it's registered under her daughter's name only. Why not put her son-in-law's name on the shop as well?"
This is fairer to those who are younger.
Liu Jianguo suggested.
"I agree, no problem."
Weng Hong completely trusted her son-in-law, so she nodded without hesitation.
The next day, Liu Jianguo went out, but his wife, Weng Hong, had to go to work, so she couldn't leave.
I visited several locations and looked at many shops, but either the location was bad or the price was too high.
After searching all morning, they finally found a shop that was satisfactory in all aspects. It was 120 square meters in size and the price was within their budget.
Liu Jianguo quickly called Weng Hong to tell her the news. Weng Hong was also very happy to hear it and told him to quickly finalize the shop.
