On the afternoon of August 2nd, Mr. He picked up He Dashun and his girlfriend Tang Ping at the train station.
When they arrived at the fast food restaurant and saw its six-story building, He Dashun was particularly envious.
"You must have spent a lot of money building this house," He Dashun asked, his eyes filled with envy.
Every friend and relative who comes here and sees this house cannot help but be envious, and not one of them can help but ask questions.
Mr. He is used to it.
Of course, he was actually a little smug inside.
“It was built with a loan, and we still owe the bank a huge debt,” said Mr. He. “Now that you’re here, work hard with Wenhua, save up some money, and buy a piece of land here to build your own house. We plan to rent out the house upstairs and collect rent every month.”
"That's great, a sure thing," He Dashun said enviously. "The rent from the four floors upstairs will be equivalent to more than half a year's salary for others."
It would be a lie to say I'm not envious.
"How many rooms are there on this floor?" Tang Ping asked.
"The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth floors all have five rooms."
Tang Ping laughed and said, "Three hundred per room, fifteen rooms, that's four thousand five per month. Your rent for these two months is equivalent to someone else's annual income. The money for building the house is recovered in an instant. You business people are really quick-witted."
"This was all my daughter Linlin's idea. She has a broad vision and a long-term perspective," said Grandma He.
"By the way, where's Linlin? I haven't seen her." He Dashun looked around but didn't see He Wenlin.
“She’s rarely here now. She’ll come back for dinner,” Mr. He said. “She should be in the city now. She’s busy opening a branch store and is probably overseeing the renovations.”
"You're opening another branch?" He Dashun's eyes widened. "How many stores do you have now? Your business is so big!"
“She doesn’t own many stores. She earns the money, and she can spend it however she wants. Actually, she hasn’t made any real profit. She uses the little capital she can get back to cover other expenses,” Mr. He sighed. “Our expenses are huge now, and we can’t afford to relax at all.”
Since He Dashun and Tang Ping were both eating here, He's father prepared braised duck and pickled fish in the afternoon.
He Wenlin returned at six o'clock in the afternoon.
I met He Dashun and his rumored girlfriend.
"This must be the old lady," He Wenlin greeted her warmly.
Tang Ping smiled and said, "Linlin, right? Hello, this is a gift I bought for you."
"What a beautiful hair clip! Thank you, ma'am." He Wenlin took it and immediately clipped it into her hair. "Look at me, everyone, don't I look good?"
Grandma He laughed and said, "You're always so vain."
Am I not pretty?
Tang Ping thought He Wenlin was easy to get along with, and kept saying, "You're beautiful, you're the most beautiful."
“Auntie has good taste.” He Wenlin said, and then her second brother returned.
His dad brought his girlfriend today, and he also came early from store number two, leaving store number two to Peng Liang to finish up.
"Dad," He Wenjun called out.
"Hmm." He Dashun responded and introduced Tang Ping to him, "This is your Aunt Tang, and this is my second son, He Wenjun."
"Aunt Tang," He Wenjun called out, a greeting in full.
"Xiao Jun looks really energetic, and he's tall too," Tang Ping said politely.
The He family is tall, with the second brother being the tallest. He Wenlin's family is relatively short; in her previous life, her younger brother was only 1.73 meters tall, He Wenlin was just 1.6 meters tall, her eldest brother was 1.75 meters tall, and her second brother was 1.78 meters tall in her previous life.
However, this height is already considered quite good in the South these days.
The family had a lively dinner together, and then Mr. He drove He Dashun and Tang Ping to He Wenhua's place.
Grandma He brought them two boxes of milk from the small supermarket so they could take them with them.
"Grandma, now that Uncle has found love again, you can finally rest assured."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. He slapped He Wenlin on the forehead: "What a second spring! A young girl like you, saying all sorts of things."
"You're not satisfied with me, your new auntie?"
"No, that's not true. Your uncle's conditions are what they are. What right do I have to be picky about the woman?" Grandma He said. "As long as they can live a good life together, that's all that matters."
"What's going on at this old lady's house?" He Wenlin's gossip instincts were burning.
"She's from our area too, but from Xinglong Town. She's divorced and has two sons and a daughter. The children all live with her ex-husband," said Grandma He, recounting Tang Ping's situation.
He Wenlin said in shock, "There aren't many divorces these days. This old lady is very brave."
At this time, very few people get divorced; most will make do for the sake of the children.
"Linlin, what do you think of your auntie?" Grandma He asked.
“I only had one meal with her, how could I know what she is like?” He Wenlin laughed. “But she seems like a smart person, unlike Xia Lijuan.”
He Wenlin thought Xia Lijuan was both stupid and selfish.
They were dealt a great hand, but they played it terribly.
The two of them ran a small business. The money they earned wasn't enough to make them rich, but it was better than working for someone else. At least they were able to live comfortably and have some savings every month.
Even if business isn't good in the future, and we need to transform our business or do something else, He Wenlin will definitely help us if we have the money.
With He Wenlin's success, she won't abandon He Wenhua in the future. How bad can her life be after she marries He Wenhua?
To put it bluntly, if you don't even show some respect to your wealthy relatives and friends, how can you expect them to think of you or help you in the future?
Now look what's happened, they've broken up. He Wenlin wants to see what kind of guy she can find.
