Chapter 901: Planning to Rent a Shop (Page 1/2)
Huo Junshan sat aside and listened to their conversation quietly.
Although his expression was calm, his words revealed a firmness: "You should take care of your own children. Your mother and I are old and don't have the energy to help you take care of your children."
The atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became a little heavy.
Everyone thought Song Jingjing had given up, but she suddenly said:
"Since my mother-in-law won't help me take care of the child, the worst that can happen is that I can rent a house in the city and hire a nanny to take care of the child at home. In any case, I've decided to open a shop and I won't change my mind."
Huo Junshan said coldly, "You can take care of the child yourselves. If you want to open a shop, open it. If you want to rent a house, rent it. We won't make it difficult for you. But if you live in the city with the child, what will happen to Qingyan?"
Huo Qingyan looked at Song Jingjing with resentment. He really didn't expect that she would leave him alone in the army for the sake of doing business. This woman was really cruel.
Huo Qinghuan looked around and found that everyone was silent, so she turned her gaze to Song Jingjing and asked with a smile:
"Second sister-in-law, do you have a specific plan for opening a store? For example, what kind of store do you want to open, and where do you plan to choose the location for the store?"
Song Jingjing thought for a moment, then replied, "Well, I'm actually quite interested in many types of shops, like flower shops, clothing stores, restaurants, etc. As long as they can make money, I'd like to try them all."
She thought that since Lin Man was so good at business, it would be a good idea to follow her and do the same.
After hearing Song Jingjing's answer, Lin Man's face instantly turned gloomy. She stared at Song Jingjing closely, thinking to herself: Why is she going against her?
Does she also want to open the same store?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sneer. How ridiculous! Did Song Jingjing really think that doing business was so easy?
Some people can make a fortune by doing business, but there are also many people who lose everything in business, and even lose everything!
Huo Qinghuan suddenly said, "Second sister-in-law, why are you going against the eldest sister-in-law? If you want to open a shop, there are so many shops for you to choose from. Why do you have to choose the same shop as the eldest sister-in-law? You can also choose a breakfast shop or a fruit shop..."
"I don't know how to make breakfast, how can I open a breakfast shop?" Song Jingjing pouted.
Huo Qinghuan continued to ask, "Does my second sister-in-law know how to arrange flowers? Or match clothes? Or cook?
Song Jingjing's face turned pale. At this time, Huo Qingyan interrupted and said, "Okay Jingjing, let's talk about opening a store when the children are older."
Lin Man didn't want to chat with them. She had to take a shower early and get up early tomorrow morning for the new store opening.
The next day, two new stores opened at the same time. Huo Qinghuan, Huo Junshan and Huo Qingci all went to the hot pot restaurant to help. It was crowded and bustling.
Xiao Ya stayed in the clothing store, where there were also a constant stream of customers, and she was busy greeting them.
As for Song Jingjing, she returned to her mother's home with her children, looking tired. As soon as she entered the house, she saw her mother Tang Lihong sitting in the living room watching TV.
Tang Lihong was surprised to see her daughter suddenly return with so many children. She quickly stood up and asked, "Jingjing, why are you back? Isn't your uncle's new store opening today? Why didn't you go to help?"
Song Jingjing took a deep breath and said slowly, "Yes, their new store is opening. I was going to help, but I wanted to come back and discuss the matter with my mom."
Tang Lihong's face immediately turned serious when she heard this. She looked at her daughter and asked doubtfully, "You want to open a shop? Where will you get the money to buy one?"
Song Jingjing quickly explained, "Mom, I don't have the money to buy a store. I plan to rent a store first, and then consider buying a store when I make enough money."
Tang Lihong frowned and continued to ask, "So what business are you planning to start?"
Song Jingjing thought for a moment and said, "I want to keep the children in the city to go to school, and then rent a house in the city.
I plan to open a clothing store. I think people’s requirements for dressing are getting higher and higher, so there should be a market for clothing stores.”
Tang Lihong listened, but shook her head disapprovingly and said, "Are you crazy? Are you really planning to quit your job and start a business? What if you fail and lose money? Have you thought about the consequences?"
Tang Lihong knew very well what her daughter's personality was like and how capable she was.
If the daughter really decides to give up her stable job and use all the family savings to open a store, the risks are obvious.
If the business fails, the consequences will be disastrous. Although their family's financial situation is not tight, it is not so rich that they can easily suffer losses.
My daughter and son-in-law have several children to raise, and my granddaughter Anran has a heart disease and needs surgery.
If business fails, they may not even be able to afford the surgery.
Tang Lihong knew that her daughter's current stable life was largely due to her son-in-law's ability. Her son-in-law, Huo Qingyan, earned over a hundred yuan a month, plus various subsidies and benefits.
Moreover, the mother-in-law and father-in-law do not need their daughter and son-in-law to pay for their living expenses.

If the daughter can properly handle the relationship with them and entrust the child to their care, she can return to work. It will not be difficult for her to save thousands of yuan a year, and their life will be very leisurely.
Is it really that easy to make money in business? If you can really make money, then it is naturally a good thing.
But what if the company loses money? What will happen to her daughter’s life? Tang Lihong couldn’t help but worry.
She said to Song Jingjing earnestly, "Jingjing, listen to your mother's advice and go back to work! When you're old and retired, you'll be grateful that you listened to me today."
Song Jingjing seemed a little unhappy: "Mom, I'm not asking you for a loan right now, why are you so against me opening a shop? Are you worried that I'll take the child back to the city and want you to help take care of him?"
"What are you talking about!" Tang Lihong felt a little aggrieved. "You said you wanted to start a business, but have you ever thought about how to purchase goods? How much do you know about the market?
If you don't know anything and just blindly follow others' success in opening a store, you might end up losing everything you put in."
Before the business even started, her mother said that she would lose money. Song Jingjing was really angry at this moment.
"Mom, why do you look down on me so much? Look at Lin Man, she's opened so many stores, and her family supports her, no one says anything to her.
I just want to open a small clothing store, and you criticize me like this. Am I really that incompetent? You always said I was better than her before.
Tang Lihong felt mixed emotions. She did not look down on her daughter, but out of consideration for her daughter's family and children, she hoped that her daughter could be more cautious.
"Jingjing, if you really quit, it will be difficult to get a job again. You need to think carefully. You're living a good life now, so why are you so anxious to start a business and make money?"
"Mom, I thought I had a pretty good life, but compared to my sister-in-law, it's nothing.
She lives in a big house, eats delicacies from land and sea, and dresses beautifully. But every piece of clothing she wears looks very expensive, and it is obvious that I can't afford it.
I am still happy about the monthly salary and various benefits that Qingyan pays me. All the salaries she pays to her employees are several times higher than my man's salary.
I feel so bad. She agreed to be the daughter-in-law of the Huo family. Why should I be inferior to her? Now my aunt and aunt also like to flatter my eldest sister-in-law and don’t take me seriously at all. "
Tang Lihong looked at her daughter Song Jingjing's eyes full of pain, and her heart felt as if it was being pricked by needles.
She tried to persuade her daughter to think it over, but seeing her daughter's determination, she knew that no amount of words would change her mind. In the end, she sighed helplessly and decided not to insist on her own opinion.
"Forget it, if you want to open a shop, then go ahead and open it! Your dad and I can't help you much, so we'll just lend you a thousand yuan. Pay us back when you have money."
There was a hint of helplessness in Tang Lihong's words, but she also revealed a hint of support for her daughter.
When Song Jingjing heard her mother's words, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
Although she had no idea how much money it would cost to open a store, she understood that every penny she had was precious, and having this extra money as start-up capital would undoubtedly be a timely help to her.
"Thank you, Mom. I'll come find the shop after I drop the kids off at the military compound."
Tang Lihong looked at her daughter, whose face had turned from cloudy to sunny and full of smiles. Although she was still a little worried, she had already promised her that now she could only bite the bullet and help her.
"I can help you find a store, but where do you plan to get the goods?"
Song Jingjing explained, "Mom, I heard that my sister-in-law went to Yangcheng to get the goods, so I want to go there too."
"Yangcheng, you're not familiar with the place. How are you going to get the goods from such a faraway place? What if you get cheated? There are also many clothing factories in Beijing. Can't you just go to the clothing factory to get the goods?"
Tang Lihong was still filled with worry. She knew that Guangzhou was a prosperous metropolis, but for her daughter, who had never traveled far, it would be a big trouble. What if she was abducted along the way?
"The clothes in Guangzhou are fashionable and the prices are cheap."
Tang Lihong continued to ask, "It takes two or three days to get to Yangcheng. How are you going to get the goods?"
"It's shipped by train!"
Song Jingjing had obviously thought about this problem and had her own plan.
Tang Lihong looked at her daughter and knew that she had made up her mind. As a mother, all she could do was to give her support and help to the best of her ability, even though her heart was full of worry and reluctance.
"Forget it, I'll go with you when you get the goods, so you don't get cheated."
"Mom, do you want to go to Guangzhou with me? The round-trip fare, food and accommodation will cost a lot of money. I'd better go alone!"
"You've never been far away. If something happens and nothing helps, what will you do?"
"Mom, why can't you give me some advice? I can definitely do what my sister-in-law can do. Just wait for my good news!"
