When Chen Chunhua heard this idea, she also thought it was a good idea. Lin Guoqing wanted to take a cold approach to the Chuan Guo matter, and the fact that the third brother wanted to go out and open a shop was also a good opportunity.
But her idea is the same as Lin Guoqing's.
At a certain point, parents' favors are meant to pave the way for their children, but the prerequisite is that the children walk on this path seriously, rather than saying that they want to change the path.
For this purpose, the family held a serious family meeting.
"Aren't you working as a laborer in the factory? Why do you suddenly want to open a shop?" Liang Shengdi asked curiously.
Lin Shuchao hugged his grandmother's arm and acted coquettishly, "Grandma, you know how little I earn. It's only 50 yuan. I've tried my hand at the factory, but I definitely don't have the talent to be the factory director. At most, I can be a supply and marketing clerk or a master chef."
Then this life will be over, there will be no more fun!"
Lin Guoqing rolled his eyes. "With your character, it's good enough that you can become a master chef. What else do you want?"
"Then I can't be ambitious!" Lin Shuchao fought for an opportunity for himself. "I know business isn't easy, but now I know where to buy and sell, right? I have a reference for prices.
If I open a shop, I'll have customers coming through. As long as I can calm down and focus, I'm sure it will be successful."
"That requires you to calm down first." Liang Shengdi smacked her lips. "How much does it cost to open a store?"
Chen Chunhua: "Rent, utilities, shelves, and the cost of the goods he wants to sell. This is all a one-person shop needs for the time being."
Lin Guoqing: "The rent can be paid quarterly or even monthly. If the store isn't overcrowded with stuff, I should be able to open it with less than 10,000 yuan."
Liang Shengdi: "Only you two can earn enough. The third brother only earns fifty yuan a month. If you really want to open your own store with that little money, how long will it take you to save it?"
"So I didn't plan to open the shop for him for nothing." Chen Chunhua said, looking at Lin Shuchao, "Your father and I will definitely help you leave if we have connections. But for the money to open this shop, do you want to write an IOU? It's like borrowing money from my family, and you have to pay us back when you make money."
Lin Shuchao's eyes widened into copper bells, his pupils filled with disbelief, "Then I..."
"Your sister and the others didn't ask for money from home for their business." Chen Chunhua interrupted him before he could finish, "I told you that the things given to your eldest sister will also be given to you all.
But the biggest thing I've given her right now is the house in Shanghai. Why do you want it now? Are you going to sell it to start a business?"
Chen Chunhua narrowed her eyes, and the aura she had accumulated as a boss for several years could no longer be suppressed and began to dissipate.
"Lin Shuchao, if you really want the house now, I can give it to you, but if you rush to sell the house to do business, you won't have to call me mom for the rest of your life."
Lin Shuchao quickly shook his head, "I didn't, I really didn't have that idea!"
He was just thinking that whether it was his elder sister or his second brother, when they were his age, they still had pocket money and lived a good life without worrying about anything in school. Why did he have to be in debt?
"That's good." Chen Chunhua snorted, "Then do you still want to open this store? If you do, you have to sign an IOU. If you make money, you can always pay it back quickly. If you don't make money, you will lose money."
"Then you can only find another job to pay off your debts."
In fact, Chen Chunhua and Lin Guoqing had much lower expectations for Lin Shuchao than for the other three children from the beginning. Chen Chunhua even thought that it would be great if the third child could not wander around like he did in his previous life, but could find a stable job, get married and live a stable life.
Wherever he needed money, she and Lin Guoqing would arrange it for him.
But people have their own ambitions.
It's a good thing to have ambition, but you have to really work in that direction.
Chen Chunhua understood this son. Although the third son was not very reliable in many things, he was used to being the big brother in the outside world and valued brotherhood. What he could not stand the most was being owed something.
Whenever he didn't have enough money and needed someone to help pay for it, he would take the money and give it to the person when he got home, and he would never leave it overnight.
In his words, owing money is like owing life. How can he be at ease as the big brother if he owes people their lives?
Although the person he owed money to this time was a family member, Chen Chunhua asked him to write an IOU and told him that since they were his parents, she would not charge him interest.
This incident was enough for him to issue a military order to himself.
Lin Shuchao himself wrote the interest rate on the IOU, "Three percent interest! I won't take advantage of you!"
The store can only be officially opened after the Chinese New Year, so the interest will be calculated only after the Chinese New Year. The rules are established first, and everything will officially start after the Chinese New Year.
But the most important thing now is to travel together as a family again.
Liang Shengdi was particularly excited when she knew that Lin Guoqing had bought her a ticket, not only to go to Shanghai to see Shuying, but also to go to Jiangxi Province to study.
She was busy going in and out for several days, and spent the whole night packing things in the room. On the morning of her departure, she wore the same new clothes she wore during the Chinese New Year last year: a purple cotton jacket, black cotton trousers and leather cotton shoes, which made the little old lady look full of energy.
"Mom, what's in that big bag of yours?"
Chen Chunhua looked at the woven bag, which was as big as her and Lin Guoqing's luggage bags, and asked curiously.
"Aren't we going to meet Shuying's future parents-in-law? I've got one set of clothes on and one set of clothes on. If they get dirty, I can change them." Liang Shengdi said happily.
"I've also been out buying a lot of local specialties these past couple of days, including pickled duck, Chinese sausage, dried fish, fermented bean curd, fragrant cakes... I also packed up the leftover dried bamboo shoots and preserved vegetables at home and put them in. Shuying and Shugan both love them."
She even complained a little bit about this.
“Actually, homemade food is the most delicious, but you two have been busy these past few years and haven’t made any sauces. We still have to go to Master Jia’s to buy the food we eat during the New Year. Now we have to buy it if we want to take it out.
I can only make some dried bamboo shoots and pickled mustard greens. If you had told me earlier, I could have made some in advance. Now it’s too late…”
Lin Guoqing smiled awkwardly, while Chen Chunhua affectionately helped Liang Shengdi pick up the bag. "It's okay, Mom. Just buy some this time. When we get back, I'll teach you how to make the sauces. Maybe the eldest and second child will like what their grandma made!"
"That's right!" Liang Shengdi snorted, pointing to the bag proudly and saying, "Shuying said that she likes the dried bamboo shoots I make the most!"
Lin Shuchao was holding his bag and whispering to his sister from behind.
"Grandma, you put your clothes and dried fish and pickled duck in the same bag? Won't they smell like soy sauce when you wear them?"
"Shut up!"
