For the next four or five minutes, all I could hear on the other end of the phone was Ye's mother scolding her: "Look at you, you're not homeless, why are you buying a house? This money is so easy to earn!"
Whose money grows on trees?
Ye's mother was so angry that her chest ached.
For the elderly, having a place to live is enough. If they have spare money, they can save it! Repairing a house costs a lot of money, so how much would it cost to buy a house, especially in a big city?
After Ye Wanying waited until her mother had finished scolding her, she coughed twice and said, "Mom, buying this house wasn't a bad deal. Look, we can rent it out. We can collect money just by sitting at home every month, right?"
Moreover, and most importantly, this area will definitely be demolished in a few years, and then we'll definitely be among the demolition households.
However, it's best not to reveal this news for now.
After all, it involves state secrets.
When Ye's mother heard that the house could still be rented out, she finally calmed down a lot: "Can it really be rented out?" she asked skeptically.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanying quickly replied, "Of course it's true! Even if a shop can only be rented for ten or eight yuan, those four shops together would be thirty or forty yuan a month. Plus, there are empty rooms to rent out. Mom, do the math! You don't have to do anything this month, you can just sit at home and earn almost a hundred yuan!"
On the other end of the phone, Ye's mother actually started calculating.
The elderly are used to being frugal, that's the thing. It seems that even if I want to buy a house or a shop in the future, I can't tell my parents, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll get another beating.
Before hanging up the phone, Ye Wanying once again asked her mother and father to consider moving here. Ye's mother did not refuse immediately, but waited to go back and discuss it with Ye's father.
The mother and daughter finally finished their phone call. After hanging up, they saw that the convenience store had put out a basket of squid for sale.
Suddenly, images of grilled squid...stir-fried squid...mixed squid...barbecued squid tentacles...grilled squid tentacles in sauce...and so on flashed before Ye Wanying's eyes, and her mouth was watering.
This squid is incredibly delicious and very nutritious. Unfortunately, I have so many things in my storage space, but apart from the snack of squid strips, I don't have any raw squid!
"Sister-in-law, are you selling this?"
Over there, the woman at the convenience store was serving items to customers when she heard Ye Wanying's voice and looked over: "Selling, selling, selling! We don't even know how to do this stuff. It's from the group leader's shop. Do you recognize it?"
Ye Wanying nodded: "I've met you before."
Just then, the woman came over and asked curiously, "What exactly is this thing?"
"Oh, this is called 'squid' or 'cuttlefish'."
"Squid? This is a fish? It doesn't look like one. Don't fish have scales?"
Who says all fish have scales?
Catfish, yellowtail, eel, and ribbonfish are all common in the sea and have no scales. Moreover, the seabed is teeming with fish, and there are countless kinds of fish that I have never seen before.
However, this knowledge cannot be popularized for the time being.
"Well, I don't know, but that's what everyone I've ever met calls me."
"Fish it is, I don't know how to cook it anyway. It's from the commander's family, how much do you want?"
How much are these?
"Since it's fish, let's price it the same as the fish outside."
Ye Wanying naturally had no objection; it was only one or two yuan per pound, and money couldn't buy what she loved.
"Then I'll take half."
