Lin Yongnian: "How can you pay so much?"
Lin Jianshe counted on his fingers and told them, "Just the broken things, the medical expenses, and the mental damage, it's six hundred and ninety-five."
"What's the remaining 100?" Zhang Jiao asked hurriedly.
At this time, Lin Guodong also walked out of the bedroom.
“Lost wages.”
Lin Yongnian: "Lost wages? Your mother doesn't have a job, where does she get the lost wages?"
"Mom is setting up a stall." Zhang Jiao reminded.
"Humph, what kind of job is setting up a stall?" Lin Yongnian sneered.
Lin Jianshe: "Dad, do you know how much Mom can earn in a day by setting up a stall selling dumplings?"
"How much?" Lin Yongnian asked.
"Ten dollars, that's ten dollars of net profit for one day!"
"It's a lie, it's a lie." Lin Guodong didn't believe it. "How can it be so much? Can setting up a stall make more money than a regular worker?"
Zhang Jiao: "Every day when I pass by the alley on my way home from work, I see that the business at my mother's stall is pretty good, and there's a long line. She only sells a bowl of dumplings for 10 cents, so she should be able to sell 50 bowls a day."
From the beginning, she felt that her mother-in-law had such good intentions and must be able to make money, but she didn't expect to make money this way.
The net profit for one day is ten yuan, then it will be more than a hundred in ten days, and more than a thousand in a year.
Zhang Jiao felt sad and couldn't help regretting. If she had known that her mother-in-law made so much money, she would not have let Guodong sign the severance agreement.
However, my mother-in-law's stall was smashed, and she may not continue to set up a stall to do business in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jiao felt a little better.
Lin Guodong also regretted it. For a stranger who looked like nothing, he offended his mother who was so good at making money, and even broke off his relationship with her. It was really a huge loss.
It was also Zhang Jiao's fault for persuading him. If she hadn't persuaded him, she would have said that if he didn't sign, he would be the only one in charge, and he would not sign.
Lin Yongnian said with a straight face, "No matter how much money she makes from her stall, it's not decent."
Zhang Jiao muttered softly, "I'm making so much money now, who cares about dignity?"
If she could earn more than 100 yuan a month, she would be willing to set up a stall.
Lin Yongnian glared at her and she immediately shut her mouth.
Lin Jianshe: "The doctor said that my mother's injury requires a month of recuperation, and the loss of work will be ten yuan a day, which means more than a hundred yuan in ten days."
Lin Yongnian snorted coldly, "Li Shuping is too treacherous. She only has a minor injury, why would she need to rest for ten days? How much compensation did your mother-in-law's family give her?"
"Liu Yong was the mastermind, so he got more compensation, 105 yuan. The remaining 590 yuan will be shared equally by the other five families."
"I smashed her stall, but she actually made a fortune." Lin Yongnian's tone was very sour.
Not only he was jealous, Lin Jianshe and Lin Guodong were also jealous. If they had known that their mother was so capable of making money, they would not have signed that damned severance agreement and would have coaxed her more.
Coax her more. Once she is happy, no matter how much money she earns, it will be left for their two children.
But knowing it earlier is priceless.
Within two days, the news that Lin Jianshe and Lin Guodong had signed a severance agreement with Li Shuping and severed their maternal relationship for the sake of an outsider spread throughout Lihua Lane.
Some people say that the two sons, Lin Jianshe and Lin Guodong, are too heartless. For the sake of a foreign child, they even disowned their own mother.
Some also said that Li Shuping was so cruel that she even sent her in-laws' children to jail and cut off ties with her two sons in order to avoid dropping the case.
She also said that she would regret it later, that she had two sons but didn't win them over better, and that she would cry when she got old and had no sons to see her off.
The next day, Zhao from the Public Security Bureau brought the compensation money to the families.
Nine hundred and ninety-five dollars, not a penny more or less.
Adding these, Li Shuping had more than 1,600 yuan in her hands.
As soon as Mr. Zhao left, Director Zhao from the Subdistrict Office arrived.
"Oh, Director Zhao is here. Please take a seat. I'll make you a cup of malted milk." Li Shuping asked Zhao Youqin to sit down, then turned around and went to the kitchen to get a cup of malted milk.
"No need to bother." Zhao Youqin said to her back, and when she saw that she didn't listen, she shook her head and smiled.
She glanced around. It was a small room with a curtain separating the bedroom and the living room. It was clean and tidy. One could tell at a glance that the woman living there was a capable and manageable person.
Li Shuping brought back a clean cup from the kitchen, took out malted milk from the chest of drawers and poured some into the cup, picked up the thermos, added hot water, stirred it with clean chopsticks, and brought it to Zhao Youqin.
"Director Zhao, drink some water."
"Thank you." Zhao Youqin thanked him, took the cup, blew on it, took two sips and put it back on the table.
"I heard that your stall was smashed. I wanted to come and see you for a long time, but I had too many trivial matters to do in the street office, so I couldn't leave. I delayed it today."
Li Shuping smiled and sat down next to her.
"Are you feeling well?"
Li Shuping nodded. "It's OK, nothing serious. I just need to rest for a while."
Zhao Youqin: "That's good."
"I came here today because I want to tell you something."
"Director Zhao, you say."
"Are you going to set up a stall to sell dumplings in the future?" Zhao Youqin asked.
Li Shuping: "Once my injuries are healed, I will definitely continue to do it."
Zhao Youqin smiled. "People outside say that after what happened to you, you will never open a dumpling stall again. Now they know that you are not someone who can be easily defeated."
How could a woman who could divorce so decisively be defeated by such a small setback?
"Hehe..." Li Shuping smiled. She didn't expect that Director Zhao knew her well.
Zhao Youqin added: "Now there is a new policy. A retired master can take two apprentices to engage in production."
In fact, a person can find two hands in the name of finding apprentices, open a shop, and set up a workshop.
"Have you ever thought about turning your dumpling stall into a dumpling shop? With a storefront, you can apply for a business license for an individual business, and with a special permit from the Industry and Commerce Bureau, you can go directly to the meat processing plant and flour mill to buy flour and meat without a ticket."
"Why haven't you thought about it?" Li Shuping clapped her hands. "I thought of starting from a dumpling stall, then renting a shop to open a dumpling shop, and then growing it little by little."
"Bang." Zhao Youqin slapped the table. "I was right about you. The first time I saw you, I knew you were a person with ideas and ambitions."
"I have a relative who happened to have a returned private property shop, with a courtyard in the back that can be lived in, and two rooms available for living."
"The whole family went abroad, and they originally wanted to sell it, but the old man at home couldn't bear to part with it, so he gave the key to me and asked me to help rent it out."
"The total area is about 150 square meters. If you want to rent it, I can give you a lower rent. You can just pay 10 yuan a month."
Her relative's shop was not in a central location, just at the end of Changning Street, about 20 minutes' walk away.
If it's in a core area, you can't rent this size without spending 100 or 200 yuan.
Li Shuping's heart was moved. "We have to see the shop first."
"Do you want to go check it out now? You have your keys with you."
"go."
Although her feet still hurt a little when she walked, this pain did not stop Li Shuping from wanting to go to the shops.
