Zheng Tianxin bought a house for his sister-in-law and was eager to buy another one. He didn't hide his thoughts.
Zeng Yu discussed it with her husband in private.
"Tianxin has some money. Do you think I should give her some more money to buy her a house? I can even give it as a dowry in the future."
Linglong feels that a house is a woman's confidence, and Zeng Yu thinks the same way.
Father Zheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Buying a house, aren't you afraid of attracting attention?"
He knew his wife had money, but in the past few years, for the sake of his career and the safety of his family, she had donated and contributed a lot, and most of it had been spent.
Even if he has some foundation, he always keeps it low-key and doesn't dare to make any moves.
"From the direction the wind is blowing, it should be fine. I was chatting with some people in the courtyard, and there were a few families with children who said they were going to study abroad on government scholarships."
She felt that going abroad, which she had previously avoided as much as possible, was now turning around, so buying a house was no big deal for her.
She has all her money cleared and is not afraid of being checked.
"It's all your money, so you can decide." When his wife donated a lot of money for him, he was very grateful, but also felt guilty at the same time.
He feels that he has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband, but instead requires his wife to consider and sacrifice for him and the family.
Even though he knew that his wife still had a lot of money, he never had any thoughts about it.
He is not a materialistic person, he just wants his family to live a peaceful and warm life.
He cared even less about how to deal with the money in his wife's hands.
"If I only give Tianxin money to buy things, will Tiansen and Tianbao have any ideas?" Zeng Yu became worried again.
If there are more children in the family, you need to be more thoughtful.
She was also afraid that the problem would arise not with scarcity but with inequality. What if her two sons felt that it was unfair and felt uncomfortable?
Father Zheng snorted.
"You can give the money to whoever you want. If they use it to buy a house for your daughter, they will feel uncomfortable. I don't think they are worthy of being brothers."
Zeng Yu burst out laughing. "You sound like you're going to sever ties with your son."
"If they dare to do something stupid, I really dare to do it."
"Okay, okay, forget it. I'd better buy two more sets, Tiansen and Tianbao."
Since his daughter-in-law said so, what else could Zheng's father say?
Zheng Tianxin, on the other hand, shook her head like a rattle when she knew her mother was going to give her extra money to buy a house.
"Mom, I don't want your money. I want to save enough money to buy it myself."
Doesn’t my sister-in-law still want to open a store? She can invest in it as a partner. My sister-in-law didn’t say she wouldn’t take her with her.
Her sister-in-law is so capable, she thinks it won’t be too far away to save enough money to buy a house.
If Linglong knew that her sister-in-law had so much confidence in her, she wouldn't know whether she should be grateful for her trust or feel more pressured.
Zheng Tianxin's words also made Zeng Yu, as a mother, feel relieved and moved.
But she had made up her mind.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't add money. She can just buy three houses directly, one for each child.
It’s not like you can just buy a suitable house. She’ll look for one slowly and buy it first.
After buying their own yard, Linglong also wanted to buy a storefront for them to open a shop.
But this time it wasn't so smooth.
Fortunately, they still have a backup plan, and Xiao Jiang's current room will do just fine.
As for the yard she bought for herself, she still had to clean it up.
This is the first property under her name, and she looks up to it very much.
If you rent a house to open a store, you have to clean it up.
There are two rooms in total. The inner one is used as Xiao Jiang's bedroom and half as a warehouse, and the outer one can be used as a clothing store.
So the room outside was also the one they had to clean up.
Linglong originally planned to find a professional craftsman to do the job, but Xiaojiang took over all the work.
"Sister-in-law, tell me clearly what you want to do. As long as it's not too complicated, I can fix it for you slowly."
Linglong really didn't plan to make it too complicated. Since Xiao Jiang was confident, she would just give the job to him.
In her spare time, she would take a pen and paper to sketch out her ideas and simple plans for the store layout.
The store was a little over 20 square meters, and she finished designing it in no time.
After communicating with Xiao Jiang in detail about the effect she wanted, they started buying materials and getting to work.
The decoration and layout is not something that can be completed in a day or two, so Linglong is not in a hurry.
However, Zheng Tianxin and Zheng Tianbao were very anxious and wanted to follow her to do business quickly.
Linglong thought about her small shop, what if four people worked together to run it?
She was afraid that her relationship with her sister-in-law and brother-in-law would deteriorate over time.
Many relatives and friends have tried to cooperate in business, but ended up having a bad relationship.
She didn't want that.
Last time I took Zheng Tianxin to buy clothes, and then we sold them together to make money, but she didn’t think it was a big deal.
But if it comes to the long term, she doesn't really want to do it with Zheng Tianxin and Zheng Tianbao.
Of course, it wasn't that she was petty and didn't want to help them make money, but she was afraid that if they became partners for too long, their relationship would sour due to any disagreements in business.
But it doesn't seem right to directly refuse and say I won't take them to play together.
After thinking about it, she decided to suggest another way for the brother and sister.
No matter what she did, they could learn to do it together. She didn't mind having one more person to share the money with, as long as they didn't become her partners.
Working with Xiao Jiang, she no longer has so many concerns.
In theory, she and Xiao Jiang are partners, but Xiao Jiang is more like an hired worker.
They do business together, and although she would discuss things with Xiao Jiang, she was basically the one who made the decisions.
Xiao Jiang is also used to following instructions.
Of course, she would not treat Xiao Jiang unfairly, and she also felt that this way of cooperating with Xiao Jiang was the best way for the time being.
Linglong suggested that Zheng Tianxin and his sister rent or buy another storefront to open a shop.
The brother and sister still felt a little regretful that they couldn't be with Linglong.
Linglong explained that their store was too small and she took the lion's share, so any extra money she earned was basically hers.
If Zheng Tianxin and Zheng Tianbao opened another store on their own, they would earn more.
That's true.
Linglong thought that in the first few years of the reform and opening up, as long as one was not cheated or had other special reasons, as long as one was willing to work hard and put in some effort, one could make money by doing business.
How does the saying go, if you stand in the right place, even a pig can fly.
Zheng Tianxin and Zheng Tianbao were young and didn’t think deeply enough. They just thought that their sister-in-law Linglong was really doing good for them.
Zeng Yu, the elder, saw through Linglong's hidden concerns.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with Linglong's far-sighted thinking. On the contrary, she thought it was a good thing.
Not only did he not find fault, he also advised his daughter and son: "Since you want to learn how to do business from your sister-in-law, then listen more to your sister-in-law's opinions and don't be too arrogant."
After going through so much, she is still very convinced of her daughter-in-law's ability and vision.
