Chapter 288 This money is useless even if you give it
As soon as Jiang Xinbai returned to the store, Yang Jinsheng came over impatiently and asked, "How is it? Is the house good?"
"Yes, of course it will be. Our house is the best equipped among all the rental houses in this area. Oh, by the way, Third Brother said that he wants to install ceiling fans in every house, the kind that are pressed against the ceiling. This way, there should be a lot of people willing to rent our house."
"Ah, we need to install fans, how much will that cost?" Yang Jinsheng calculated silently in his mind, even the cheapest fan would cost two or three hundred, right? There are thirty-six rooms in a house, so this is a lot of money.
"Well, it's not cheap. Third brother has a friend who sells this. The retail price is two hundred each. We want a lot, so I guess we can bargain down a lot. I plan to install it in the store and in the living room at home as well."
"Okay, just follow your third brother." Yang Jinsheng nodded.
"Oh, and also, Third Brother said that the property ownership certificate can be processed. We can go and get it done sometime after we close the door for a while."
Now that they open their own shops, the door has to be kept open all the time, otherwise customers will not come when they see you close the door. If this happens too often, business will naturally be bad. So they can only stay in the shop all day long and have no freedom at all.
"The door is not closed, you can just go." Yang Jinsheng shook his head.
"Ah? How can you get the property certificate if you don't go?"
"What's so difficult about it? Why don't you just write your name on it? Why do we have to separate the two of us so clearly? Besides, can you divorce me?"
Yang Jinsheng smiled and joked that in his opinion, it didn't matter which name the couple used, but of course it was better to use his wife's name so that she would feel more at ease.
Jiang Xinbai frowned when he heard the word divorce, and reached out to pat Yang Jinsheng, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't mention the word divorce again in the future. It's unlucky."
"Haha, you are so taboo. Isn't it enough for us to just have a good relationship?"
"Humph, don't say it if I tell you not to."
"Okay, I won't say anything. By the way, have you guys agreed on the rent? It would be best if our four buildings were unified and of the same size. If one is higher and the other is lower, something bad will happen sooner or later."
"Yeah," Jiang Xinbai nodded. "Third brother has inquired about the market nearby. A large apartment has three rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom. It's rented out for 75 yuan a month. A small apartment has two rooms, also with a kitchen and bathroom. It can be rented separately. Each room is 26 yuan. If you rent the whole apartment, it's 50 yuan a month."
"Well, has the rent increased that much? The house we rented before was only thirty-one months."
The house that Jiang Xinbai and his family rented before was in the style of a farmhouse. Except for the lack of a separate toilet, everything else was pretty good. At least thirty-one months was considered cheap in the area. As soon as the house in Sunshine Community was renovated, they canceled the lease and moved in directly.
"That was before. Everything has gone up recently, so the rent will naturally go up as well. Oh, by the way, Third Brother wants to buy a motorcycle. He said it would cost 970 yuan, and asked if we would like to buy it together. I thought the motorcycle was too fast and it might not be safe."
Yang Jinsheng's eyes lit up when he heard about motorcycles, and he quickly replied, "A motorcycle, I want one. It's much better than a bicycle, and it's faster. It's cool to ride in the hot summer. The most important thing is that I don't have to pay someone to deliver the ingredients to the store every morning. I can just ride my motorcycle and bring them back. Also, don't you want to go to the beach? I'll take you there when I have time. It takes about half an hour to ride a bicycle here, but it will probably take only ten minutes on a motorcycle. How great!"
Jiang Xinbai smiled at Yang Jinsheng and said, "I figured out that you just want to buy one! All right, nine hundred and seven is nine hundred and seven, buy it!"
"Hey, I can also ride my bike to pick up the two kids on Friday, so they don't have to wait for the bus until dark every time."
"Well, now that you mention it, I'm even more determined to buy it."
A few days later, Jiang Xinbai looked at the installed ceiling fan and smiled with satisfaction, "The wind power is quite strong. Two fans are enough for the store. Sister Zhang, put this desktop fan next to the barbecue grill to help dissipate the heat for Jinsheng."
"Oh, boss lady, these fans of yours are really helpful. I don't even feel hot when I stand under the fans. That's great. Aren't they cheap?
"Xu Dongmei looked at the fan above her head with envy and thought to herself that if the price was acceptable, she would also like to buy one. It was really uncomfortable to live without an electric fan in the summer.
"Well, it's not cheap. One unit costs 180 yuan. And that's because my third brother knows someone who gave me the price. Why? Sister Xu, do you want to buy one? I can help you ask if they still have it. Fans are hot sellers in the hot summer."
"No, no, hey, 180 is too expensive. I'll have two or three months of work to do this. I'd rather keep it hot." When Xu Dongmei heard the price of 180 per unit, she instantly felt less hot.
"Hey, Dongmei, what are you doing here? Doesn't your son have a high salary? You shouldn't think about them all the time. You've worked hard for most of your life, you should enjoy yourself!"
Zhao Chunfeng kindly advised that Xu Dongmei's husband passed away early and all the family money was used to buy a house for their son. Now she is reluctant to buy even an electric fan. She is really going backwards as she gets older.
"Hey, Chunfeng, you don't know, my daughter-in-law is pregnant, and her condition is not very good, so she has been recuperating at home. This means one less person has to go to work, and my son is under a lot of pressure. So, I'm working here, and I can give him some money every month, which can also reduce his burden. As for the fan, I don't have money to buy it. When my grandson is born, there will be many more places to spend money!"
Xu Dongmei felt that her daughter-in-law was in very poor health. If it weren't for her burden, her son wouldn't have to suffer so much.
Zhao Chunfeng curled his lips and said nothing. Anyway, you can’t wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.
"Hey, boss lady, my stomach is a little uncomfortable. I'm going to the restroom and will be back soon!" Xu Dongmei suddenly felt a stomachache. She quickly took a few sheets of paper from the counter and ran out.
"Hey, don't be in a hurry, take your time." Jiang Xinbai shouted at Xu Dongmei.
Zhao Chunfeng looked at Xu Dongmei's back and whispered, "Boss lady, you don't know that Dongmei is just trying to make ends meet. You said her son earns three or four hundred yuan a month, which is enough for his daughter-in-law even if she doesn't work. Why does she need to supplement him? I think it's useless to give her the money."
