The worst that can happen is that you'll lose money in the end. Money can be earned again if it's lost.
Lu Siting made up his mind and said, "Okay, since you want to do it, I will support you."
Bai Wei didn't expect Lu Siting to agree so quickly. After all, his hesitation just now was already obvious.
"but--"
Lu Siting changed the subject and said, "Doing business is risky after all. I suggest that if you rent a shop, you should rent it for a shorter period of time. It would be best to rent it for half a year. If you don't achieve any results within half a year, or if the business is not good, you can choose to close the shop and look for a job."
This is indeed a method. Bai Wei agreed without hesitation.
Lu Siting was also doing this for her own good. If the store business was not good, it might lose money, and Bai Wei would not be happy then.
She would spend half a year on trial and error. If the things she was familiar with could not cater to the aesthetic of that era, she would just go to work honestly and wait a few years before thinking of a solution.
After the two of them discussed it, they turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Lu Siting didn't need to go to the camp these days, so he took Bai Wei out to play the next day.
The two of them walked around outside for a long time and bought a lot of things for their new home. They didn't return home until the evening.
It was lunch time, and many people were walking towards the cafeteria and saw Lu Siting and Bai Wei.
"Captain Lu, where did you go with your wife?"
"Brother Lu, I really envy you for being able to go out and play."
"Brother Lu, hello sister-in-law!"
"Sister-in-law, you bought so many things, it must cost a lot of money, right?"
Lu Siting took Bai Wei out for a walk these two days, and she got to know a lot of people. When she greeted them, she could roughly call out a few names.
Tomorrow is the third day, and Bai Wei is going back home. The two of them bought a lot of things when they went out today.
The next morning, Lu Siting got up, moved the things he bought yesterday into the car, and after eating breakfast, he took Bai Wei back home.
Chen Juan and Bai Yaotian started preparing at home early.
At half past ten in the morning, the two arrived downstairs, took out the prepared things and went upstairs.
Chen Juan would look out from the balcony every once in a while, and finally saw her daughter and son-in-law coming back, so she asked Bai Yaotian to go and greet them.
The three of them went upstairs carrying large and small bags of things. The old men and women who were walking nearby looked over curiously.
"You guys go sit down, it's lunch time today, come and taste my cooking!"
Shen Juan was very happy to see the two children, so she drove them to the living room and did not allow anyone to enter the kitchen.
Finally, Shen Juan and Bai Yaotian each cooked a few dishes, and Bai Yaotian also took out a bottle of wine.
But Lu Siting had to drive, so he didn't drink much.
After lunch, the father and son were still chatting in the living room. Bai Yaotian seemed to be a little drunk and kept talking to Lu Siting.
Bai Wei felt that it was a bit noisy, so she pulled Shen Juan into her room to talk.
"Mom, I have something I want to tell you."
Bai Wei asked Shen Juan to sit down, and then began to massage her shoulders. "Mom, look, when we got married, Lu Siting gave me more than 1,800 yuan, and you and dad gave me more than 100 yuan, which adds up to more than 2,000 yuan. This money will not appreciate if you keep it in your hands. It's better to use it to do some business."
Shen Juan asked doubtfully, "Doing business? What kind of business?"
Bai Wei said carefully: "I want to find a small shop near the central street, renovate it, and sell some of the most fashionable accessories. However, since I want to open a shop, I have to quit my job at the post office first, otherwise I won't have the energy to open a shop."
"What, you want to resign?!"
Chen Juan was a little surprised and stopped letting her daughter massage her back. She took Bai Wei's hand and asked her to sit aside.
She said seriously, "Weiwei, tell me the truth, what's going on? Why did you suddenly want to open a store to make money? Did someone instigate you?"
"My girl, the post office job is a stable job, with a salary of fifty yuan a month. Many people are trying their best to get in, and you actually want to quit? Are you stupid?"
Perhaps she felt that her tone was too harsh. Shen Juan looked at her well-behaved daughter in front of her, took a deep breath and said, "My daughter, Mom doesn't mean to blame you, it's just that you did this too suddenly. Besides, have you discussed it with Xiao Lu? What did he say?"
Shen Juan was visibly nervous. Whenever she was nervous and worried, she would talk a lot.
Bai Wei poured a cup of tea for Shen Juan, and then said, "Mom, don't worry, I haven't finished yet."
"Opening a jewelry store does not require a lot of initial investment, so the cost is definitely not high. After all, a jewelry store does not need to be too big."
"And I've discussed this with Lu Siting, and he's quite in favor of it. We agreed that we can give it a try first, and if it doesn't work after half a year, we can look for another job."
Bai Wei pulled Shen Juan and swung her like a spoiled child: “Mom, I know what I’m doing, and I also want to honor you after I make money.”
Shen Juan thought that working in the post office was already very good, stable and reliable, and she could work there until retirement.
Besides, she is married now and has Lu Siting around, so there is no need to do this.
But her daughter's request echoed in her ears again, and Shen Juan finally gave in: "Well, since you want to do it, go ahead, but I agree, and I don't know if your father agrees or not."
Bai Wei smiled happily: "Thank you, Mom, but since you agreed, how could my dad disagree?"
Although Bai Yaotian drank a little too much, after hearing Bai Wei's words, he expressed his support without much hesitation.
He knew that doing business was not easy and that many people could easily lose money when doing business, but his daughter wanted to do it. If she didn't try, she would always be thinking about it.
It would be better to let my daughter do it herself.
If it succeeds, you can make a lot of money, if it doesn’t, that’s fine too.
After all, he is a teacher, earning more than 200 yuan a month. Even if his daughter suffers a little loss, he can still subsidize her.
Besides, doesn’t her daughter already have a husband?
Although he had known Lu Siting for only a short time, Bai Yaotian knew that Lu Siting was born into a military family. Although his family background was not as good as those of very wealthy people, it was indeed a good one.
After all, his daughter graduated from high school. If the business suffers a loss, she can still find a job in the future with her education.
If that doesn't work, she can be a housewife like her mother.
As long as Xiao Lu is reliable and doesn't mess around outside, his daughter will not have a bad life.
After all, Xiao Lu is a soldier with good conduct. How could he do anything wrong?
Bai Wei was so happy to have the whole family agree.
She has to go back to work tomorrow. Bai Wei's wedding leave is also three days. She plans to work until the end of this month and then resign.
