"This is the account for this month. After deducting all the miscellaneous expenses, I made 1,986.5 yuan."
Gui Xiang looked at the money and never thought she could earn so much. They split it 50/50, not even counting the profit from selling the pancakes. In just five more months, her family would be able to pay off their debts.
"Yufen, please keep these for now. It's not good for me to keep owing them to you. They were originally for Ershun and the others' medical treatment, but now Ershun's treatment won't cost that much."
Gui Xiang gathered a total of eight hundred yuan and handed it to Yang Yufen. The rest of the money was kept for Er Shun's medical treatment, and it was more than enough for daily expenses.
“Yu Fen, once everything is cleared up, I’m thinking of buying a house here too. I don’t know how long Er Shun’s illness will take to be treated, but this is the best place to see a doctor. As for the family, we’ve already separated anyway.”
Gui Xiang revealed her plans.
“If that’s the case, then don’t pay me back the money yet. Houses are getting more and more expensive these days. You should save up enough money to buy a house as soon as possible and get registered. That way, you’ll feel more at ease.”
Yang Yufen stuffed the money back. She now had enough for a house, and she was saving the money she had received. There was nothing else to spend money on at home.
"I came so early because there's something I want to discuss with you. I haven't been here for a few days, and you've done a great job in the evenings. I might not be coming back for a while, so for the first year we'll split the rent 50/50. If you continue to operate here in the second year, just pay me the rent."
Yang Yufen made this plan after careful consideration. Her two children were not as easy to take care of as when they were younger. The older the children got, the more active they became. She also personally observed her in-laws' methods of raising children. The children could not be raised in a free-range manner forever.
Regardless of whether it's Xianjun or Niannian, the nature of their work means they certainly can't take care of their child all the time.
She can earn less money, but she can't neglect her child, and the rent is going up too, enough to cover her expenses.
The last time her child played in the water, it really scared her.
"Why? No, Yufen, you've done so much for us. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even be able to afford medical care, let alone make money. If you're busy, I'll manage the shop. How can we just break up?"
Gui Xiang immediately became anxious.
"We haven't broken up, but precisely because we have a good relationship, we need to be clear about things. We can't let anything hurt our friendship. We'll be best friends for life."
“That won’t work either. Your shop is in such a great location. Even if I buy another house, I might not be able to find one just like yours. How about this, you pay for the shop, and I’ll do the work. We’ll continue to split the profits.”
Gui Xiang thought about it for a moment and felt that her idea was excellent.
Even after Ershun's father returned, the two still hadn't resolved their differences.
"How about this, Yufen gets 30%, and we get 70%. We'll only split the profits from the noodle shop. My sesame seed cakes are what we buy for the noodle shop. That way, it'll be clear. Yufen doesn't need to worry about the shop. We'll keep using the shop. We'll split the profits this way, and we'll split the losses this way too."
Er Shun's father suggested a compromise, and Yang Yufen finally agreed. The two families signed a new contract, which is now called a formal agreement.
Then Er Shun's father told him some good news.
"The doctor said that as long as Ershun continues to maintain his health and learns slowly, even if he doesn't regain his memory in the future, he can be just like a normal person. We can treat it as raising a child all over again."
"That's great, that's great!"
Gui Xiang's tears fell. This was truly good news. Those bad memories were gone and could be forgotten. It didn't matter.
Yang Yufen has officially become the behind-the-scenes owner of the noodle shop.
"Godmother, you were looking for me?"
When Wang Shuo got home from get off work, he heard from his mother that his godmother wanted to see him, so he came over immediately.
"Hey, I'm off work now. So, my noodle shop wants to add a lamb soup noodle dish for winter. I heard you say that your agricultural research institute studies not only crops but also livestock, so I was wondering if you know of any sheep farms."
