Chapter 258: Caring Second Sister-in-law



Lu Jiaguang originally wanted to discuss the relocation of the grave with Lu Jiaxin, and promised to visit the grave every New Year and other festivals. However, Lu Jiaxin's attitude made him realize that she was just informing them and had no intention of discussing it with them.

After realizing this, Lu Jiaguang immediately changed the subject: "Jia Xin, last month your antique shop received a treasure. Someone wanted it but the owner refused to sell it. When the other party failed to force the purchase, he sent someone to the store to cause trouble."

Lu Jiaxin was stunned: "Master Qian didn't call me to tell me about this."

Lu Jiaguang smiled and said, "He called me, and I asked Lao Li to come forward and resolve the matter. Now everyone knows that the antique shop owner has someone, so no one will cause trouble for him in the future."

"Brother, what does this leader like?"

There is nothing to hide from family members. Lu Jiaguang said, "He likes to drink Dahongpao from Wuyi Mountain. I got him half a pound. I will handle this matter and you don't have to worry about it. But Jiaxin, can this shop owner really be trusted? Antique shops are supposed to buy and sell. He refused to sell even if the other party offered a high price. Otherwise, there would not be this dispute."

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "I told him that I won't sell the treasures, and I'll keep them all. The price difference between the mainland and Hong Kong is at least five times. If I really sell them, I'll lose a lot. Brother, the antique shop has been open for so long and I've collected a lot of good things. But I'm not short of money now, so I plan to keep these things for collection and not sell them for now."

Lu Jiaguang didn't expect that she was planning this: "That's fine, it's better to keep the things left by our ancestors, otherwise they will be taken abroad by the buyer and they won't be able to come back."

Lu Jiaxin asked, "Brother, Lu Ping is back to live here now, so the house is crowded, right?"

Lu Jiaguang did not deny it. He said it was okay and he would wait for Lu Ping to work and live in the dormitory. "Don't worry about my affairs. Ms. Gu is so good to you, you should be filial to her."

Lu Jiaxin didn't tell him about Gu Xiuxiu's Alzheimer's. Telling him would only make him worry but wouldn't help: "Brother, if the antique shop doesn't sell the things it collects, there's no way to calculate the profit and give you dividends."

Lu Jiaguang didn't want her shares at all, and said, "What do you mean by dividends? I didn't put in any money or effort to run your store. If I really took your money, what would I be?"

Lu Jiaxin knew that he was truly selfless, but he was not alone now, he had a family: "Brother, what would I be if I went back on my word? And would my sister-in-law have any thoughts if she knew? If this incident affected our relationship as siblings, that would be a waste."

"Your sister-in-law is not that kind of person."

Lu Jiaxin said, "I know my sister-in-law is not that kind of person, but I can't go back on my word just because she's so kind and easy to talk to. Brother, I originally wanted to give you 5,000 yuan a year, so that you can buy a big house in two years. But then I thought about it, you and my sister-in-law don't do business and only get a fixed salary. If you suddenly have such a large sum of money to buy a house, someone will definitely report it. If the antique shop is involved, your friend will be implicated. I will buy a house and tell people that it's a gift for you, so that no one will suspect it."

"Anyway, I've donated two million, so giving you a house is not a big deal. It's just that some people might say something sour in the future."

Lu Jiaguang refused outright, saying that he could not accept the house she gave him.

Lu Jiaxin said, "If you're afraid of what others say, I'll give you 5,000 yuan in dividends that year. If you save for two or three years, you can buy a house. Brother, this is a family affair. You can't make the decision alone. Go back and discuss it with sister-in-law."

After sending the people away, Lu Jiaxin called Lu Jiazong and his wife into the house: "Xiaoqiu should have told you about the clothing store, right? Second brother, second sister-in-law, what do you think about this?"

She felt that Mrs. Lu was quite thoughtful and would not refuse this.

Mrs. Lu said earnestly, "Jia Xin, the poor family is rich on the road. Food, drink, and toileting all cost money, and things in Hong Kong are so expensive. You can't rely on your aunt for everything. The clothing store can make 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a year, so these can help to supplement the income."

After hesitating for a while, she finally spoke out her thoughts: "Your great aunt is so old. I'm not cursing her, but it's easy for accidents to happen to people when they get old. Your great aunt has stepchildren, so you definitely won't get a share of her money. You still have to go to college for four years, and colleges there cost money. It will cost a lot of money in four years. You have saved money now, so you don't have to worry about accidents."

This was a soothing remark. Lu Jiaxin knew they were tight-lipped, so she smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me. My aunt bought a house for me and my cousin in Hong Kong City, and also saved an education fund for us. This education fund is to ensure that we can complete our studies no matter what happens. Also, I have made some investments myself and earned a lot this year. Second sister-in-law, I know you are thinking about me, but I really don't need the money right now."

After hearing this, Second Sister Lu was no longer worried: "Jia Xin, your aunt has taken such good care of you, you must be filial to her in the future!"

"Don't worry, I will. Just take over this clothing store! I don't know the transfer fee, you can ask and give it according to the market price." Lu Jiaxin said. In fact, she could just give it to them, but she knew that Lu Ersao and Xiaoqiu would not want it.

Mrs. Lu was also a straightforward person. She didn't hesitate and made the decision directly: "Okay, since you don't need the money, then we will buy it."

Lu Jiaxin nodded and asked, "Second sister-in-law, it's not a good idea for you to set up a stall like this. It's too hard to do it in the cold winter when it's windy and rainy. Why don't you buy a store? It doesn't have to be too big, just more than ten square meters will do."

Lu Jiazong shook his head and said, "No, the store is too expensive. The store next to our stall is only over 20 square meters and sold for 36,000. It's a steal!"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Brother, thirty-six thousand sounds like a lot, but this is a fixed asset that can be passed on to future generations! As the old saying goes, one shop can support three generations, which means that one shop can support three generations. Moreover, shops and houses in the old city will become more and more expensive. You can afford it now if you have money on hand and borrow some from others. In ten or twenty years, you can't afford it even if you borrow money."

Brother Lu was very excited after hearing this.

When Mrs. Lu heard that housing prices would become more and more expensive, so expensive that they could not afford to buy a house, she said hurriedly, "Jia Xin, we will listen to you. When we save enough money, we will buy a small shop first, and then we can buy a house when we save more money."

Lu Jiaxin nodded: "Don't worry, buying a shop and a house is a sure win."

The main reason was that they had no education and no skills, they could only set up stalls and work as laborers, so buying a shop and a house was the safest option. With the hard work of the couple and her suggestions, they had no problem buying a shop and two or three houses after working for more than ten years with their son and daughter-in-law.
