Chapter 028 I'm Not a Bad Person
When the agreed delivery time arrived, Bai Zhenzhu and her group returned to the restaurant.
The washing machine is placed in the backyard and the TV is temporarily placed upstairs.
The happiest person was Shuo Shuo. The Pei family also had a TV, a 14-inch black and white TV.
But the TV has always been occupied by Pei Xiangming and Pei Wenyan, and everyone can only watch what they want to watch.
"Mom, I want to watch Sun Wukong, Black Cat Sheriff and Calabash Brothers."
Before Bai Zhenzhu could speak, Zhang Minmin said:
"Look, our Shuo Shuo can watch whatever he wants, but he can only watch for half an hour a day, otherwise his eyes will be damaged."
Shuo Shuo was very obedient and nodded: "I understand, Third Aunt."
After Zhang Minmin turned on the TV for him, he sat down on the sofa and watched it attentively.
Zhang Minmin also said to Bai Zhenzhu:
"Originally I only wanted to have a daughter, but if a son is as obedient and sensible as Shuo Shuo and not so naughty, then a son would be nice too."
She is an only child and has no idea about whether to have a boy or a girl. Her in-laws have no requirements either, so Zhang Minmin is living a very comfortable life now.
"It doesn't matter whether you have a boy or a girl. You and your third brother are both good-looking, so the child you have will definitely be beautiful too," said Bai Zhenzhu.
Zhang Minmin looked at Bai Zhenzhu's fair face:
"If it's a daughter, it's better for her to look like her aunt."
Xu Yin said this every day, and Bai Zhenzhu couldn't help laughing:
"Okay, if you and my second sister-in-law give birth to a daughter, she will look like me, and the whole family will definitely treat her like a treasure."
I cooked porridge in the evening. At that time, there were people selling cowpeas on the street. Bai Zhenzhu bought a handful of cowpeas and cooked them with the porridge. When the cowpeas were cooked, she took them out and served them cold.
The twice-cooked pork from lunch was not finished, so I fried another twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts.
Just after dinner, Xia He actually came over and said she wanted to get to know the place.
She lives in Fuxiang Community behind the market. She is one year older than Bai Zhenzhu, 25 years old, and has a boyfriend whom she has been dating for three years.
Xia He only sat for a while before going back. The street lights in the market were not very bright, and there were a lot of floating population at the train station, so it was still worrying for a girl to go out at night.
Bai Zhenzhu and Bai Jingsi sent her to the gate of the community together.
When she came back, Bai Zhenzhu saw a grocery store with the lights on, so she went in and bought a bunch of things.
Towels, slippers, enamelware for drinking tea, plastic cups for brushing teeth, etc. were all prepared for Bai Chenglei and Bai Chengxiang.
Bai Jingsi watched her buy without stopping her. When they came out of the store, he took the things from Bai Zhenzhu and said carefully:
"Pearl, do you have any plans?"
He watched Bai Zhenzhu's actions these two days. She bought so many shops and houses. Bai Zhenzhu is alone, so she couldn't handle it all by herself even if she opened a shop.
He had doubts before, but he just thought that Bai Zhenzhu was in a bad mood because she had just divorced, so his sister could do whatever she wanted, and as a brother he just needed to support her silently.
But when Bai Jingsi heard that Bai Zhenzhu wanted to buy a shop, she could no longer ignore it.
It just so happens that Zhang Minmin is not here at the moment, so the brother and sister can talk to each other about their true feelings.
"Third Brother thinks the house and shop are enough. You can save the rest of the money. You will need it for Shuo Shuo's school in the future."
White Pearl smiled and said:
"Brother, money in the bank is dead. Now the country is in a state of disrepair, and it is time for us young people to show our talents. I heard from people who went to work in the south that the development there is very fast, many factories have been built, and more and more rural people are moving to the city to find work. Everyone's pursuit of quality of life will also be getting higher and higher."
"I don't want to keep my money in the bank. I want to do business. Not only me, but I also want to bring you to do business together and make a lot of money. Meat tastes better when we eat it together. In the future, our whole family will live a good life."
In her previous life, her three brothers did not have a good life.
My eldest brother fell off the wall while putting up a beam for someone and broke his waist. He underwent several operations and in the end he could only walk with difficulty and could no longer do heavy work. In order to treat his illness, the whole family starved themselves to death.
It is not easy for my sister-in-law to raise two sons alone. My parents can only help out and are so tired that they are in poor health.
My second sister-in-law Xu Yin injured her body when she gave birth to her second child. Because it was an extra birth, she was fined several thousand yuan, which emptied the family savings in an instant.
So the eldest brother's injury was like adding insult to injury for the entire Bai family.
In order to support the family, my second brother became an old man at a young age.
Because the third brother had to help out at home, his own family had always lived a tight life. If the third sister-in-law and her parents were not good and sensible people, they probably wouldn't have been able to make ends meet. The third sister-in-law gave birth to a child at the age of 31.
At that time, Bai Zhenzhu's life was not easy either. She secretly gave some money to her parents' home. If she was discovered, she would be scolded by Cao Danniu.
So she didn't dare tell her parents about her miserable life. Those ten years were so hard that even the water she drank tasted bitter.
Bai Jingsi still felt that she was taking too much risk:
"Then you should open the store first. There is no rush to buy a shop."
It’s urgent to buy a shop, but Bai Zhenzhu doesn’t dare to say it out loud.
I have to explain:
"Brother, you know about the restaurant I bought? The previous owner bought it for 15,000 yuan, and it increased to 20,000 yuan in less than a year. This shows that housing prices have been rising. Buying a house, you can earn several thousand yuan in a year without doing anything. This is more cost-effective than doing business."
"And I can rent it out and collect rent, which is more cost-effective than putting it in the bank and raising interest."
Bai Jingsi was a cultured man after all, and he usually read books and newspapers when he had nothing to do. He pushed the frame of his glasses and quickly accepted Bai Zhenzhu's words:
"Indeed, as more and more people move to cities for work, the demand for housing will increase, and housing prices will continue to rise."
Seeing that he had figured it out, Bai Zhenzhu was no longer worried. The third brother was the most authoritative person in the family. As long as he agreed, no one else would say anything.
"That's what I mean. Third brother, you know more." Bai Zhenzhu flattered him at the right time.
The brother and sister walked back while chatting about the social situation.
The market, which was bustling during the day, was now empty. Most of the shops were closed, and only a few shops where the owners lived had lights on.
All the stalls and goods set up by each household have been put away, and the market that is crowded during the day becomes quite spacious at night.
The street lights in the market were also dim, and from time to time a cat or dog would run around in the street.
Bai Zhenzhu was quite excited thinking that her elder and second brothers would come over tomorrow.
She will definitely protect them and lead them to make money and live a good life.
Just as she was chatting excitedly with Bai Jingsi, a black shadow suddenly jumped out and fell directly at Bai Zhenzhu's feet.
Bai Zhenzhu was so scared that she almost jumped up.
The reason she didn't jump up was that someone grabbed her trouser leg.
It turned out to be one person.
Still a man.
“Don’t be afraid…” The man’s voice was weak: “…I’m not a bad person.”
