Chapter 378: Mom, don't be afraid
Yu Shirley scanned the faces of the two people. As far as she knew, Shen Meng wanted to start her own business, and she would definitely go to the provincial capital in the future. It was impossible for her to stay in the county town with her and open a small shop.
But if the partner was Wu Xianglan, she would have to think about it.
"It's a deal. My mother-in-law is not in good health this year, and she is busy with money. If I still work in the hospital, I won't have so much time to take care of the family."
"Didn't you think of leaving the job to Dezi before?"
"The child is very hardworking and does well in his studies. Now he is in junior high school and wants to live in the school dormitory. He does not want to stay at home for fear of causing trouble to the family and also afraid that his grandparents will come to our house and make trouble. He said that he wants to take an entrance exam to a normal college and become a teacher in the future. The child has his own ideas. Da Ya and Xiao Ya's father and grandmother have left dowries for them, and we two can save money for the two little ones in the family. As for Dezi, I am thinking of selling my job and keeping the money for him."
Wu Xianglan exclaimed, "Ouch!" She was reluctant to sell her job to run a small shop. It was a stable job, especially in a hospital. The money involved was so lucrative that she was tempted just thinking about it.
"This is what happened. Xianglan knew that you wanted to sell the store, so she thought of investing a share of the money. She won't have to do anything, and you can just give her dividends when you make money."
"Well, this is what happened. I have some family background. If it were someone else, I would definitely not be willing to let her go. But when my sister-in-law told me that you wanted to sell the store, I immediately had this idea. How could I not know you? You're a smart person and you will definitely not suffer a loss."
"Tsk tsk!"
Shen Meng couldn't help rolling his eyes after hearing what Wu Xianglan said. All these years, whenever he thought about what he was doing, he was always like a lackey.
"Okay, we are all acquaintances. Shirley, what do you think? If you are willing, then ask her to join us. If not, then just pretend we never talked about this."
"Okay, but I just want to open a snack bar. If there are people working together, the cost can be lower. However, there are gains and losses in business, and I can't guarantee that you will make money. If you become a partner with me, we have to talk it out in advance."
"Okay."
Wu Xianglan understood this. If she had said this before, she would have thrown a tantrum. However, over the years, she has been getting along with Yu Shirley and Xie Jing, and she is basically a normal person. Except that she likes to take advantage sometimes, there is nothing wrong with her.
Shen Meng did not participate in the cooperation between the two people. She just listened from the side and sometimes gave some ideas.
After the discussion, the two decided to each contribute 1,500 yuan, but Shirley would take the lion's share of the money, and she would take 60% because she had to take care of the store. Wu Xianglan was also willing to do this.
It was written very clearly in black and white, and the two signed and sealed it, and the matter was settled.
When Wu Xianglan took a copy of the agreement, she grimaced in pain. This money basically emptied her family's assets. She saved some when the family was divided, and she also got some benefits when she worked in the textile factory. All this plus what she had saved over the years was enough.
However, the family's expenses next month would have to be paid by the salary that had not yet been paid.
Shen Meng also gave some suggestions on what food to sell in the small shop that Yu Shirley was interested in. It was recognized that she was a good cook. Yu Shirley also thought that if she was not busy, she would cook a few dishes for her to try and give her some suggestions!
Talking about what to do in the future, the three of them began to talk endlessly again.
Half a month later.
Yu Shirley and Wu Xianglan's snack bar opened. There were eight tables for dine-in. It was the simplest noodle shop. They hired a few honest and reliable old ladies to help in the kitchen, and two young men to boil noodles.
The soup and sauce were made by Shen Meng. It was delicious and tasty. It was packed on the first day of opening because it was so fragrant.
Wu Xianglan was welcoming people at the door with her two children. From a distance, she saw Lu Changzhu and Liu Sanjin with Zhou Jiaojiao's two children coming over. They didn't smile at all, which made her heart skip a beat. "Yongqiang
and Yongli, you two follow me. Today is the big day for mom and your Aunt Shirley to open the restaurant. We can't let them mess it up."
"Don't be afraid, mom. My sister and I won't leave. We'll stay here."
"Yeah, I won't leave."
Wu Xianglan swallowed her saliva, smiled, and walked over.
"Mom and Dad, what brings you here? Yaya is walking on her own, so nice. Are you tired?"
"Hmph!"
Wu Xianglan looked at the similar faces of Lu Yaya and Zhou Jiaojiao and felt really disgusted.
"Pa!"
"Mom!"
Yongqiang and Yongli were shocked when they saw Liu Sanjin suddenly hit their mother. They rushed to Wu Xianglan and looked at the marks on her face carefully.
"What are you doing? Why are you hitting me, mother? What did I do that you came all the way here to hit me?"
"I'm going to hit you. I want to kill you now. Wu Xianglan, Wu Xianglan, you're living a good life in the county. You're taking care of your children and eating and drinking well. Why don't you think about Keleng's Qiancheng and Yaya? They're suffering with me in the countryside. Your husband was fired from the pig farm, and you didn't even go home to see him. What do you want to do? You can't live like this anymore. Come on, come back with me quickly and take care of your husband. Also, find some time to find your sister-in-law and think of a way to rescue Jiaxuan."
"Well, what are you thinking about? I'm still taking care of him. Just give up on this idea. I won't argue with you today because you are Yongqiang and Yongli's grandparents. You know what Lu Jiahe has been like over the years. Why don't you go find Jinghao? Why don't you dare to find my sister-in-law? Aren't you just bullying the weak and afraid of the strong? I can't do anything about it. If you make trouble with me again, don't blame me for divorcing your son."
Wu Xianglan said this firmly, but Lu Changzhu and Liu Sanjin's expressions did not change. Lu Jiahe's behavior was ridiculous, but it was not the first time he did this. They were sure that Wu Xianglan was just saying it in anger.
"Grandma, my parents are getting divorced, and my sister and I both agree. We have wanted them to divorce for a long time. My mother has worked hard to raise me and my sister all these years. When I was young, I was ignorant and blamed my mother. Now that I have grown up, if my mother divorces my father, my sister and I will only recognize my mother. In the future, my mother will also study hard to make money and respect her."
"That's right, mom, let's go. Aunt Shirley has made delicious noodles. Let's ignore them. Yaya and Qiancheng are bad kids. Your dad treats you badly, but you are still filial. You would rather leave mom than think about dad. Great, you can do the same when you are hungry in the future!"
After Yongli finished speaking, she dragged Wu Xianglan away. Yongqiang looked at Lu Changzhu and Liu Sanjin with hatred.
The old couple felt cold in their hearts when their grandson looked at them.
