Chapter 334 Let me discuss business with you
After saying that, the two of them blinked their big eyes and looked at her pitifully.
Facing two pairs of pleading eyes, Su Xiaoxiao's heart sank: "Don't try to trick me, just say what you want to say."
It was obvious that there was nothing good going on between the two of them. If there was really something good going on, they wouldn't be so attentive to her.
"Third sister, we can tell you, but you have to swear not to tell our mother about this."
Su Jianwen said hurriedly.
"That depends on my mood. Let me hear it first."
Su Xiaoxiao didn't buy it and refused to make any guarantees.
Whoever knows what the two naughty kids did, ask her to make a guarantee.
"Actually, it's just a very small thing."
Su Jianwu glanced at Su Jianwen and spoke.
Su Xiaoxiao parked the bicycle aside, folded her arms and stared at the two of them, motioning them to continue.
"Fourth brother, why don't you do it? You're better at speaking than me."
Su Jianwu poked Su Jianwen's arm.
He was not as good at expressing himself as his fourth brother, and was afraid that he would not be able to explain himself clearly and be treated to a meal of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots for nothing.
"Third sister, it's like this, we want to discuss business with you."
Su Jianwen spoke with a serious face.
"Talk about business? You two with me?"
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless. How old are these two little brats and they are already thinking about doing business?
She wanted to see what kind of business the two of them could do.
Seeing that she wasn't angry, Su Jianwen mustered up the courage to continue, "Third sister, isn't the Chinese New Year coming up soon? Every household will definitely write couplets at that time. I have a classmate whose grandfather is very good at calligraphy. We are thinking of hiring him to write couplets and then sell them when they are ready."
"It's just that we don't have the capital. Third sister, can you lend us some money and we can split it 50-50?"
They felt that a 50-50 split was already quite generous.
The third sister paid the money and they worked hard, and they contributed more. If it weren't for the fact that she was their biological sister, they would not have shared the profits equally.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them without saying anything.
With the gradual relaxation of national policies, there are more and more self-employed individuals around recently, and the two younger brothers have also started to have some ideas.
It’s not bad that he can think of the idea of making money by writing couplets at such a young age.
But they are still young, and the most important thing is not to make money, but to focus on studying.
You can make money at any time, but you only have this one chance to go to school.
Thinking of this, she slowly said: "Okay, I can lend you the capital, but there is a condition."
The two of them didn't expect her to agree so readily, and their faces were filled with surprise.
"Third sister, don't say it's just one condition, even if it's three or five, we will agree."
Su Jianwu spoke first, saying that their third sister was open-minded. If they had told their mother about this, they would have been given a meal of stir-fried bamboo shoots and pork, and their butts would have been so sore that they wouldn't have been able to get off the kang.
Seeing that Su Jianwen hadn't expressed his opinion yet, Su Jianwu anxiously pulled him aside and said, "Fourth brother, do you agree?"
Su Jianwen looked up and met Su Xiaoxiao's gaze. He was silent for a moment and nodded vigorously.
Seeing that the two agreed readily, Su Xiaoxiao immediately said, "You don't need three or five. As long as you can get into the top ten in the class by the end-of-year exam, no matter how much money you need, as long as your third sister has it, I will definitely invest it for you."
"What?"
Su Jianwu almost choked on his own saliva.
There are more than 40 people in their class, and he always ranks in the top 20 and has never even been in the top 20. His third sister actually asked him to rank in the top 10. Isn't this making things difficult for him?
Su Jianwen's grades are slightly better than his, basically ranking in the top ten in the class. If he has enough time and works hard, it is very likely that he will be in the top ten.
But the problem is, time is too tight.
"Third sister, this is a bit difficult. Can we try another one?"
There is less than a month left until the end-of-year exams, and it feels a bit late for them to work hard now.
"How about we look at the midterm exam?"
Su Jianwen asked tentatively.
"Okay, then we'll sell your couplets after your midterm exams."
Su Xiaoxiao spoke very politely.
The two were stunned when they heard this.
The exams are in April, and the year is over, so what are they still doing?
After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she prepared to push her bicycle into the house.
Su Jianwu hurriedly pulled her back and said, "Third sister, don't worry. How about we lower our expectations a bit? How about the top 20? The top 10 is really a bit difficult."
"Is it difficult? I, your sister, went from last in the class to eighth in less than a month. My expectations of you are already low enough. Are you two still men? You can't be worse than a girl like me, right?"
"You don't even have this much guts, and you still want to start a business and become a boss? I think you two should give up as soon as possible and study hard. Don't waste your time. You can't even figure out the accounts anymore."
After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave.
The two little brothers immediately became angry.
The only person in the family who could sponsor them to start a business was their third sister.
The eldest and second brothers handed over all their salaries to the government, and since Sister Zhaodi had to raise Little Shitou, the money was barely enough for her own expenses.
Not to mention Pan Di and his sister, they just earned some money with their mother, so they probably don’t have much money on hand.
Only their third sister's salary is in their hands, and he also does some small business from time to time, so he must have enough money.
"Third sister, we agree. Isn't that enough?"
The two of them quickly expressed their determination, "We must come back and rank in the top ten in the end-of-year exam. If you keep your word, you'll have to lend us money."
The provocation worked.
Su Xiaoxiao curled the corners of her mouth calmly: "No problem."
Su Jianwu was worried: "Third sister, what if you regret it later? Let's make a pinky promise."
"Let's make a pinky promise. Come on, make a pinky promise and hang yourself for a hundred years without changing your mind."
Su Xiaoxiao also acted childishly and made a pinky promise with Su Jianwu.
After the discussion, all three of them were happy.
"Third sister, this is a secret between the three of us. You can't tell mom."
Before entering the door, Su Jianwen said to Su Xiaoxiao worriedly.
Su Jianwu also looked at her with pleading eyes: "Third sister, we are now all on the same boat, you can't betray us."
Su Xiaoxiao: "Don't worry, your third sister is not that kind of person."
She said this verbally and then turned around and told Liu Cuilan about it.
When Liu Cuilan first heard that the two wanted to do business, she immediately wanted to pick up a broom and beat them up, but Su Xiaoxiao stopped her quickly.
"Mom, don't get excited. I made a deal with them. I'll only lend them money if they can get into the top ten in the class."
Liu Cuilan looked incredulous: "With their miserable grades, how can they be in the top ten in the class?"
"Mom, why is it impossible? Pressure brings motivation. In order to earn the money for this couplet, the two of us have to study hard. Am I not an example?"
After Liu Cuilan heard what she said, she felt that it made sense.
The third child was able to go from the last in the class to the eighth in grade, so the other two just had to get into the top ten, which was not a big problem.
The two little brothers didn't know what their mother expected of them. They were discussing countermeasures with sad faces when someone knocked on the gate of the courtyard.
