Because of Aunt Li and her daughter-in-law's presence, Sun Baoguo ultimately left unwillingly.
Lin Xue lost interest in wandering around the villages and stayed at Aunt Li's house until Lin Cuihua returned before going home herself.
"Xiaoxue was really frightened today. Who would have thought that Baoguo would turn out like that!"
After Lin Cuihua returned, Aunt Li told her in detail what had happened that afternoon.
Lin Cuihua was so frightened that she didn't dare to go out to sell her goods the next day and stayed at home with her daughter.
"Mom, let's go to town and buy a shop!"
"Right next to the middle school, there are two rows of newly built shops. I heard that two rooms, one upstairs and one downstairs, only cost a little over ten thousand yuan."
"Our family should have enough money to buy a shop. We'll buy one on the pedestrian street opposite the school, near the corner. That's the main street!"
In this day and age, 10,000 yuan is no small sum.
If a village has a household with ten thousand yuan, that's a very prestigious one.
Although everyone knew that Lin Cuihua must have made a lot of money from her street stall, no one thought that the Lin family could actually save money because they knew that her family had a medicine pot.
What outsiders don't know is that several of the items sold in that repair shop on the street were made by Lin Xue.
In the past year or so, she has saved more than 10,000 yuan just from dividends.
Uncle Qian earns even more, and I heard recently that he's also going to buy a shop in town.
He handed over the management of the family shop to his eldest son, while he went to guard the shop in town.
When both shops are open, his family will be able to monopolize most of the repair business in Yidong Township and Xiache Town.
"We have enough money to buy a shop. Since Xiaoxue thinks we should buy one, let's find some time to go and take a look!"
"But shouldn't we give up the business in Ito-go? After all, business here is really good; we can sell two or three pots of each kind every day!"
Lin Cuihua was still reluctant to give up the business here, after all, she had accumulated a lot of old customers over time.
"Hand over the business here to Aunt Li, and make an agreement with her that her family cannot sell these things in Xiache Town!"
"The distance between Yidong Township and Xiache Town is quite far, so businesses on both sides won't be affected. Let's all make money together!"
If you were to ask who treated her best in the village, it would definitely be Aunt Li.
When Lin Cuihua wasn't around, Li Da Niang's family would always have a share of whatever they had.
Even when there's not enough food for everyone in the family, they'll still share some with her.
The original owner of this body was raised by Aunt Li, who never treated her as an outsider.
If my family were to move to the town now, this way of making money would have to be handed over to Aunt Li's family.
Just then, Aunt Li's eldest daughter-in-law was laid off from the factory, wasn't she?
Since the factory's business is not doing well and it doesn't need that many employees, it's better to start a small business on its own.
"Alright, if it's for Sister Li's family, I won't be so upset!"
Although it means going to an unfamiliar place to start building a customer base all over again.
But since their daughter didn't want to stay in Ito Township any longer, they decided to move.
They come back to stay during holidays and festivals, and come back every ten days or half a month to take care of the work in the fields.
She couldn't completely abandon the crops in the fields, since the ingredients for making these delicacies still depended on the produce from her own land.
If we were to rely on buying everything, the cost would be too high.
Even though she could still earn money, Lin Cuihua was unwilling.
The money in our family is accumulated little by little, it doesn't come from thin air, so we have to be careful with our spending.
The mother and daughter discussed it again, and the next day they went to town to look at houses.
Unfortunately, the shop near the intersection of the market center had already been sold, so the two of them had to choose a spot in the middle.
However, it's not far from the center of the market; standing at the four-way intersection, you can still see the shop they chose.
And it's not too far from the school, just a three- to five-minute walk away.
It's not that they don't want to open their shop near the school, but students have to go to class every day, and nowadays children don't need their parents to pick them up or drop them off.
Children who are not picked up by their parents have limited purchasing power, so they ultimately decided that shops closer to the center were more suitable.
After all, there are many people coming and going here every day, so the number of cold noodles, cold rice noodles and jelly noodles sold here is definitely greater.
Once they'd chosen their spots, the two of them immediately started eating. If they were any slower, the good spots would probably be taken by someone else.
After buying the house, Lin Xue was here watching the renovations being done.
After arranging things, Lin Cuihua went home to discuss the transfer of the stall with her aunt.
This is a job that can support a family, so it definitely needs to be discussed carefully.
Aunt Li felt a little guilty for accepting such a big favor from the Lin family, and they even tried to give them money, but the Lin family refused it.
So in the following years, all the work of spraying pesticides and fertilizing the Lin family's fields was taken over by Aunt Li's family.
As long as the costs of pesticides and fertilizers are settled on time, it's fine.
Time flies, and another ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Not only Aunt Li's family and Uncle Ge's family, but even Aunt Wang's family bought houses in town.
Of course, they were all shops with storefronts that they bought.
Aunt Li's family switched to selling roast duck.
Uncle Ge's family set up a pork stall.
The ducks that Aunt Li bought were from Uncle Ge's house.
Uncle Ge's eldest son's farm is very successful and is growing larger and larger.
He started with a chicken farm, then a duck farm, a goose farm, and eventually even a pig farm.
The ducks that Aunt Li's family gets their supplies from him.
Uncle Ge, on the other hand, is too old to be of much help.
So he hired a laborer to help him sell pork in town.
It's not about making a lot of money, it's just about finding something to do that makes me feel at ease.
Wang Da Niang's troublesome son returned a couple of years ago, bringing over 30,000 yuan with him. He spent over 20,000 yuan to buy a house in town.
There was only a two or three-year difference. When Lin Xue's family bought it, it was a second-hand one, but when Wang Da Niang's family bought it, they spent more than 20,000 yuan to buy a second-hand one.
This is one of the benefits of them following Lin Xue's example and buying a house early.
Now, 10 years later, houses in this town have appreciated to an unbelievable degree.
Houses now cost 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, though of course, they can't compare to prices in later years.
In later generations, a house can easily cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, so houses were relatively cheap in this era.
Lin Xue's family shop has always been doing very well. Her mother couldn't manage it all by herself and was worried about Lin Xue's health, so she hired a waitress.
Despite the changing of waiters over the years, her shop has always been thriving.
At Lin Xue's urging, Lin Cuihua bought another shop in the county.
I would go over and check on it every few days. They had hired a chef, a waiter, and a cashier to help look after the store.
