"The store is not busy now, Xiaoyu, you can go home and do your own thing." After talking for a while, Chen Xiaoying said to her granddaughter Li Yutong.

Today is Saturday and the school has given a day and a half holiday so that students can go home to take a shower, change clothes and have a rest.

Li Yutong nodded. Her mother Liu Lanxiang was thinking about the pepper seedlings planted in the field: "It has rained a lot these days. I will go and take a look when I have time."

Now the family has leased 80 acres of land. Except for five or six acres that have been built into a vegetable greenhouse for use in their own store, the rest are all used to plant peppers needed by the food factory. Every day, her father Li Hongwei and her mother Liu Lanxiang, together with a few hired villagers, are busy in the fields.

Life is visibly getting better.

After watching her mother leave, Li Yutong said to her grandmother Chen Xiaoying in a serious tone: "Grandma, what are you going to do about my second aunt's matter?"

Chen Xiaoying said coldly: "It's up to her. I raised her, sent her to school, and gave her a house to marry. Do I have to take care of her for the rest of her life?"

Li Yutong said, "Grandma, it's good that you can figure it out. I'm always afraid that you'll be soft-hearted. Once you're soft-hearted, they'll push you further and never give you enough. Even if you have a million, they'll still complain that you don't earn enough for them to spend."

Chen Xiaoying's expression darkened and she sighed, "I know, how could I not know? That's why everyone in the village is scolding me for being so heartless. I made money but I'm not even willing to help my own daughter."

How could she dare to help? What's more, with her eldest daughter Li Hongyan like that, she wasn't being asked to help. She wanted to come into her thriving store and be the boss of the business for her mother.

She is the boss. She hired someone to be her boss. She is not crazy.

Li Yutong originally felt that what she said was inappropriate, but she was afraid that she would be confused.

After all, she is her biological daughter.

It's good that her grandmother can think clearly.

Li Yutong went back to pack up. Chen Xiaoying counted the accounts for a while. She could actually buy the second and fourth brothers' houses in full now. But she was afraid that they would not cherish something they had gotten for free. Also, with the houses, they would have no burdens and the two of them would have extra money. She was afraid that they would be deceived by the eldest sister Li Hongyan's sweet words, so she was determined to pay in installments.

"Xueyan, you go ahead and do your work. I'm going to do something." She instructed her third daughter-in-law, Zhao Xueyan.

"Okay, Mom, go ahead." Zhao Xueyan agreed readily.

After Chen Xiaoying went out, she went to the hot pot restaurant across the street and called the fourth brother Li Honggang, and then asked him to go to the hot pot ingredient workshop to call the second brother Li Hongjian.

The mother and her two sons went to the sales center together.

"Mom, I've thought it through. Let's get the house done today to avoid the kind of nightmares people say."

The second son, Li Hongjian, had no objection. He was the one who had the final say in his family. "Okay, Mom, I'll listen to you."

The fourth child, Li Hong, hesitated for a moment. His wife had been to the store to find him a lot in the past few days: "Mom, um, what if Yang Xiaohui really wants to divorce me?"

Chen Xiaoying sneered: "She won't divorce you. If she does, she will be the only one who regrets it."

The fourth brother hesitated, but when the house purchase contract was placed in front of him, he saw that his second brother had written his name on it openly, so he made up his mind and wrote his name as well.

The manager of the sales office was very happy because this old lady was one of his important clients.

Look, the shops downstairs that I bought last year have now been rented out by well-known supermarket chains, and the rent is quite high every month.

This old lady is a celebrity in the county. Everyone knows that in the past five or six years, she started from scratch and earned money to open several stores, and then bought shops and houses.

When Chen Xiaoying came out with her two sons, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Second son, fourth son, Mom doesn't owe anyone of you anything now. Only your little sister Hongxia still needs a house. When the time comes, Mom will buy it for her. Don't worry."

"It's okay, Mom. We have everything. Let's give it to our younger sister as well." said the second son Li Hongjian.

The fourth brother, Li Honggang, had no objection: "Let's buy it."

The harmony between brothers and sisters is the greatest wish of a mother. Chen Xiaoying felt relieved. She gave birth to them and was not irresponsible for them. She did her best to build a house for them in the village and also bought a house in the county town. Whether their life in the future is good or not depends entirely on them.

Chen Xiaoying's biggest interest now is making money. She also wants to develop a good habit like her granddaughter Li Yutong, watching the numbers on the passbook increase continuously, and then when it reaches a certain amount, she will exchange the money for a house or a shop.

Then watch the money come in continuously.

They all come from rural areas and don't have much experience. My granddaughter said very early on that they must do what they are good at and never follow others to invest in cosmetics, clothing and other businesses. They don't have the vision and don't know how to do it. It is enough for them to just live on the real estate.

In fact, what Li Yutong didn't say was that she was planning to save a large sum of money to buy a piece of land. Later, after the land was acquired by a large real estate company, the original owner made more than five times the money.

It is said that the original owner of the land was the largest electrical appliance merchant in their county. He lost a lot of money in business, so he borrowed a large sum of money from the bank and relatives and friends to buy this land. He originally planned to build houses and sell them, but later he was spotted by a developer and made a lot of money.

Originally, according to the common thinking of ordinary people, if you make a lot of money, you should pay off your debts and continue to do business.

But it was said that the original landlord owed too much debt. After making a large sum of money from selling the land, he ran away with the money and went directly to the Ugly Country, leaving his wife and children with a lot of debt. It was not until more than 20 years later that he was deported from abroad.

But what would be the use of coming back? My wife had jumped off the building at that time, and I didn’t know where my children had ended up to make a living.

Li Yutong was thinking about this while washing her hair at home.

The land was about to be auctioned, but all the money she had added up to only $200,000. Even if she mortgaged her property and shares in the food factory, she could only get another $500,000, for a total of $800,000.

The land was not big, and the final auction price was 1.1 or 2.0 million, but my mother still had only a piece of wasteland.

Li Yutong thought about it over and over again, while wiping her hair, she wondered who else would have the courage to lend her this money.

As she thought about it, she looked at herself in the mirror and wondered, isn't this asking a question she already knows the answer to?

There is a shortage of 400,000 yuan. Apart from Shen Jiaze, who else can afford such a sum of money?

At that moment, she sat next to the phone and calculated the time difference. It was two o'clock in the afternoon Beijing time, which should be eight or nine o'clock in Germany. He should be home by then.

Thinking of this, she took out the phone number He Zixuan gave her, hesitated for a moment, and finally dialed the number.

Over there, Shen Jiaze was taking a shower and didn't hear the phone ringing.

Li Yutong dialed for a long time, but no one answered. She became a little confused. Did he go to another country again? Or did He Zixuan write the wrong number for her?

Shen Jiaze came out in his pajamas and was about to sit at the desk to draw a picture, but as he looked at the complicated drawings and materials, his eyes could not help but look at the microphone not far away. He seemed to have heard the sound of a phone call just now.
