Chapter 439 New Plan
Zhuang Chaoying has been in the library every day since it opened.
He is different from others. Others can go back to work on the first day of the new year, but he is still on winter vacation.
He really couldn't stand Zhuang's mother nagging in his ears every day, so he had to stay out.
When I get home at night, I close the door and never come out.
What Zhuang's mother kept nagging him about was nothing more than opening a shop.
As soon as he got home that afternoon, his mother followed him around and kept nagging:
"Chaoying! I went to Lao Wang's place and sat there for most of the day. I finally figured out how to open a shop. Look..."
"Mom, I don't want to see it. I only know how to teach, nothing else. I can't even do a straight account, so don't count on me. You're so smart, I think you can really open a store, then you can use the money you two have saved to open a store, I don't care, but I can't touch my money."
Zhuang Chaoying refused immediately and decisively.
"But...but I counted our money and it's not enough!" Zhuang's mother said aggrievedly.
"If you weren't thinking about getting out of the US and not getting cheated, the money you have now would definitely be enough to open a small shop." Zhuang Chaoying didn't want to save face for them at all and said bluntly.
When Zhuang Chaoying mentioned this, Zhuang's mother's face darkened, and she said dissatisfiedly:
"Why bring this up now? What's the point? You won't get your money back."
Zhuang Chaoying sighed softly and said, "Mom, if you don't have money, you don't have to open it."
However, Zhuang's mother seemed to have made up her mind and said firmly:
"Well, I really want to open a shop. Just think of it as lending it to me. Okay? I'll write you an IOU, and when the shop makes money, I'll pay you back and give you a share of the profits."
Zhuang Chaoying seemed determined this time and directly refused:
"Can I urge you to pay me back when Tunan gets married? If you don't pay me back, what can I do to you? You're just saying that, we're all family, why are we talking behind each other's backs? Won't my money be yours from now on? Stop being so petty."
Behind Zhuang Chaoying, Zhuang's mother frowned and didn't talk about the topic anymore. She just said, "Okay! Then you cook first."
After Zhuang Chaoying entered the kitchen, Zhuang's mother went into Zhuang's father's room.
Zhuang Chaoying had learned his lesson. He followed and as soon as he saw Zhuang's mother enter Zhuang's father's room, he tiptoed outside the door and eavesdropped.
Normally, Zhuang's mother also disliked Zhuang's father very much, and she didn't want to enter his room. She always felt that his room had an indescribable stench, so now if she went in, it must be that he was plotting something.
"It stinks. When Gan Mei comes back, I'll let Chao Ying move in with you."
Zhuang's father glanced at Zhuang's mother, who then said viciously:
"What are you looking at! Isn't it better to let him set up a small bed in the corridor? If you get up in the middle of the night, there will be someone to take care of him. It won't take up your bed. Otherwise, do you let him sleep with me or let Gan Mei squeeze into the same room with him?
You need someone to serve you in everything now, so what right do you have to make demands? Whatever I say is what I do!"
Mr. Zhuang was cursing and mumbling.
"If you have the guts to scold me, just stand up and hit me! That way you can help with the work after we open the shop!" Zhuang's mother had lived with him for decades, so of course she knew that he was scolding her.
When he heard about opening a shop, Zhuang's father's cloudy eyes lit up and he said vaguely, "I agree..."
Mother Zhuang shook her head:
"No, but I figured out a way."
Father Zhuang raised his hand and motioned her to speak.
"I think we should rent a house first and start preparing. By then, the money will have been invested, and it will be a shame not to open the business. He will definitely help us make up for the shortfall." Zhuang's mother was ready to act first and ask for permission later.
Zhuang's father responded with a "woohoo", as if to express his agreement.
"Okay, wait until Chaoying starts working! He'll be too busy with his graduating class to take care of it, and then I'll slowly deal with these things! Don't bother me! Be honest, or else Old Zhao will get mad and leave, and who will take care of you? I have to help Gan Mei manage the store, so I don't have time to take care of you."
Zhuang's father muttered and scolded her.
Zhuang's mother held down Zhuang's father's crutch with one hand and pinched his thigh hard with the other.
"If you scold me again, I'll pinch off a piece of your flesh! I won't give you lunch tomorrow!"
Mr. Zhuang opened his mouth and then closed it again.
When Zhuang Chaoying heard the noise of the chair, he quickly ran back to the kitchen.
While cooking, he was thinking about how to deal with it.
If Zhuang's mother really did this, although she would not suffer any loss, they would definitely lose their money. Then when the third child came out, they would really be left with no money and would have to rely on themselves.
But if he really helped them, not only would he lose face in front of Zhu Xiu Yu, but he would also lose all his money.
No, not only would he lose everything, but he would also be trapped in this store forever, helping them pay for the stock and do the heavy work...
If you make money, it will be a great success.
If they lost money, they would definitely put the blame on him, and he would have to borrow money to fill the hole.
He will have a debt that will never be paid.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a sweat.
He had to find a way to stop them from doing this, but he had no idea what to do.
After a night of worry, Zhuang Chaoying thought of two people.
Huang Ling and Zhu Xiuyu.
They are smart and run their own business, so it must be very easy for them to solve such a problem.
However, it was useless to think about it, as they could not help him deal with Zhuang's mother.
Just like Huang Ling said, she didn't want to get involved with Zhuang's mother's stinky shit.
However, he still went back home the next night to find Zhu Xiu Yu and Zhuang Hualin.
Regardless of whether they were willing to give advice or not, he decided to give it a try because he had no one to discuss the matter with.
When he reached the entrance of the alley, he happened to meet Zhu Xiu Yu and Hong Bin who were returning from get off work.
"dad."
"Hey, Hongbin, I bought you a pair of leather shoes. You can wear them when you have a job interview. They are the best ones I bought for Yuesheng..." Zhuang Chaoying timidly reached out and handed over the net bag in his hand.
Hong Bin glanced at his mother, and after receiving her approval, he reached out and took it. "Thank you, Dad."
"Hongbin, you go back first." Zhu Xiu Yu knew that Zhuang Chaoying had something to talk to him about, so he said.
"Hongbin, please call your aunt out for me. I need to discuss something with your mother and your aunt." Zhuang Chaoying mustered up the courage.
"Oh, okay." Hongbin went back into the house to call Zhuang Hualin.
Until Zhuang Hualin arrived, Zhuang Chaoying and Zhu Xiuyu just stood there, neither of them saying a word.
Zhuang Hualin arrived soon.
Zhuang Chaoying first handed the other net bag in his hand to Zhuang Hualin:
"These are the sneakers I bought for Pengfei. Give them to him later."
"Brother, you don't have much money, why are you spending this money?"
"Take it! I haven't bought anything for him." Zhuang Chaoying lowered his head and pushed his glasses to cover up when he said this.
"Oh, then I thank you on behalf of Pengfei." Zhuang Hualin took the shoes.
The brand is a good one, it seems that I have invested a lot of money this time, Zhuang Hualin thought.
She glanced at Zhu Xiuyu, then took the initiative to ask:
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Zhu Xiuyu smiled and said, "Not bad, you actually waited until the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. I thought you would come to me on the first day of the Lunar New Year to ask for money! I haven't saved the money yet. It's in the house. I'm giving it to you now."
Zhuang Chaoying waved his hands quickly: "No, no, I'm not here to get money."
Zhu Xiuyu and Zhuang Hualin glanced at each other, and Zhuang Hualin asked directly:
"Brother, if you have something to say, just tell me directly, don't beat around the bush."
Zhuang Chaoying told the two of them about the plan that Zhuang's mother was about to implement.
