After Xue Mao sent the man away, he couldn't wait to ask, "Sister, is the watch that Brother Su wore last time really worth 150,000? Even if it's made of gold, it's not worth 150,000."

Gold is about thirty dollars per gram now, and half a pound is only a few thousand dollars. Why would you need so much money? He was skeptical about Su Heming's words.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said: "Rolex is a world-famous brand and a symbol of status. In other words, only those who are rich and powerful can afford to wear it."

This is the brand value. There are many century-old brands abroad, but few in China. In her previous life, she had thought about opening a clothing factory and selling the clothes she designed all over the world. She didn't do it in her previous life, so she will work hard to realize it in this life.

Xue Mao understood the latter sentence.

When Lu Jiajie came back in the evening, Lu Jiaxin asked him one thing: "Are there any pawnshops in Sijiu City now?"

"Why do you ask that?"

Lu Jiaxin didn't make excuses to fool him. There was no need. "Do you remember Su Heming? He is Madam Xie's nephew. I did him a favor and he gave me a set of jewelry today. I don't have any use for it, so I wanted to pawn it to get some money to do some business."

“It doesn’t cost much to set up a snack stand.”

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Brother, a snack stand only needs a few dozen yuan as capital. Su Heming said that doing business now is very profitable. He has a friend in the clothing business, and I can get the goods through him. Selling snacks is hard work and doesn't make much money. I want to set up a stall to sell clothes."

Lu Jiajie himself was tempted, but he disagreed with Lu Jiaxin doing business: "Xinxin, business is not that easy to do. Some people make money, but more people lose everything. Xinxin, your top priority now is to take care of your health, then repeat your studies and take the college entrance examination. If you go to college, you will have a stable job and you will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Lu Jiaxin knew that everyone had the same idea, but she couldn't possibly go to work. She was an employee in her previous life, and in this life she wanted to be a boss. As for working in a state-owned enterprise or a public institution, she didn't even consider it because it was too restrictive.

After thinking for a while, Lu Jiaxin said, "Fifth brother, let me give it a try. You don't have to worry about my body not being able to handle it. I will be responsible for purchasing the goods and setting up the stall to sell clothes. Leave all these to Xue Mao."

"Fifth brother, the money in the passbook cannot be touched. I only have a little over a thousand yuan on hand. Repeating a grade requires a lot of money, and four years of college is also very expensive. This little money is not enough."

Lu Jiajie felt that he didn't need to worry about these things at all, as Lu Hongjun would take care of them.

Lu Jiaxin said firmly: "If I use his money, I would rather not repeat my studies or go to college and set up a stall with Xue Mao to support myself."

Seeing her attitude, Lu Jiajie's heart skipped a beat. Would this girl be serious? If so, wouldn't it be Ding's wish? No, absolutely not. But right now, his sister is still angry and he can't persuade her, otherwise it will backfire.

Lu Jiajie said, "If you don't want your third uncle to support you, then my elder brother and I will support you. Don't refuse first, listen to me. If you repeat your studies and get admitted to university, the expenses will be higher during the first year of repeating. When you go to university, you won't have to spend much money because the government will provide subsidies."

The eldest sister-in-law and his wife are both reasonable people, they should agree. Of course, this is just to appease Lu Jiaxin. The money must be paid by the third uncle.

Lu Jiaxin refused outright: "You all have your own families and your own problems. I can't cause you any trouble. Fifth brother, I just want to take advantage of this period of recuperation to start my business. When I am well again, I will go back to school and repeat my studies. I will leave the business to Xue Mao."

"Xinxin, doing business is not that simple."

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Doing business is difficult, but it's not as difficult as it was when I was in the ancient capital. Back then, we were weak and had no one to rely on. We were always bullied when we did some small business. Under such difficult conditions, Xue Mao and I made money. Now that I have you and my elder brother to rely on, and with the resources provided by Su Heming, I don't believe I can't make money."

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "He is Madam Xie's nephew, and I helped him avoid other people's calculations. He can cheat anyone but me."

Knowing the whole story of Su Heming being plotted, Lu Jiajie sighed that the Su family was so rich that others had to use a gold watch worth more than 100,000 yuan as bait to plot against him. There shouldn't be any problem with the path that such a person pointed out to Xinxin.

She also thought that she could make money by following him in business, but he wouldn't say that. Lu Jiajie said, "Xinxin, Third Uncle and Big Brother won't agree."

"I make my own decisions. It's useless if they don't agree." Lu Jiaxin showed her edge for the first time. If she didn't want to ask Lu Jiajie for information, she would have kept it a secret.

Lu Jiaxin asked, "Fifth brother, if you don't help me, I will ask someone myself."

What could Lu Jiajie do but agree to it first, but he immediately told Lu Hongjun and Lu Jiaguang about it.

Lu Hongjun decided not to intervene this time. He said, "If she wants to sell clothes, let her sell them. She really thinks it's so easy to make money."

Setting up a snack stand is not the same as running a clothing business. It is not difficult to make money from a snack stand as long as the food is delicious, but selling clothes involves many tricks.

"Uncle San, you really don't care?"

Lu Hongjun said firmly, "No matter. Since you don't want the three hundred yuan, keep it and buy some clothes and good food for the two children."

Lu Jiajie felt upset. Lu Hongjun said that he wanted to let Jiaxin know that making money is not easy, but he knew that he wanted to make his sister give in. He suddenly felt that Jiaxin's decision might be right. Only when she was financially independent could she be free from the control of her uncle. But from another perspective, if Jiaxin made money from business, the relationship between father and daughter would never be eased.

When Lu Jiaguang learned about this, he strongly opposed it. He felt that what she should do at this age is to study hard: "There will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future. Now her top priority is to take good care of her health and then repeat her studies to enter university."

After a pause, he said, "Tell Jiaxin that going to college is completely different from not going to college. Those who can be admitted to college are all very outstanding people. When she goes to college, she can not only learn knowledge but also accumulate connections. These will be useful whether she goes to work or does business in the future."

This time, Lu Jiajie spoke up for Lu Jiaxin: "Brother, Jiaxin wants to make some money by selling clothes while she is recuperating. When she is well again, she will go back to school and leave the business to Xue Mao."

"Brother, Xinxin said she would definitely go to college. This was Auntie's last wish. These days she studies English every morning, and she also studies other subjects."

"Brother, Xinxin doesn't want Uncle San's money anymore, so she wants to make money to study and go to college."

Lu Jiaguang said: "Don't take Third Uncle's money, I will support him."

Lu Jiajie smiled bitterly and said, "I said, I will support her education with you, but this girl doesn't want to, saying that we have our own family and our own difficulties, and she can't drag us down. Brother, why don't you let her give it a try, who knows, maybe this girl can really make money!"

Lu Jiaguang felt a little overwhelmed.
