Chu Yu knew this was a terrible situation, and she had tried to persuade many people, but no one listened to her advice. Every time she reminded people that it was a scam, those who had invested money would dismiss it, saying:
"What do you know at such a young age? Our place is very safe, it can't be a scam. You may not have money yourself, but don't stop others from getting rich."
They always felt that Chu Yu had ill intentions.
Chu Yu felt that the mutual aid society was wasting too much of her energy. With the New Year approaching, she wanted to decorate her home, air out the quilts, and wash the clothes and curtains.
"By the way, your grandma won't be locked up for long. What will you do if she comes looking for you?"
Shu Hui was quite worried about her daughter's safety. Jiang Meifeng was too difficult to deal with; she was unreasonable and shameless. Being bothered by someone like that was like stepping in dog poop, and it would ruin her mood.
Chu Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom. If she dares to come looking for me, I'll give her a gift she'll never forget."
Before the Lunar New Year, Chu Yu successfully completed her exams. Zhang Ying brought Xiao Hua to Beijing this year, and the family of three stayed in Beijing for the New Year.
Chu Yu's store had released matching family outfits, so she brought one for Xiao Hua as well. It was a bright red hooded down jacket, long enough to cover her bottom, and it really flattered her skin. Zhang Ying was so excited that she hugged Chu Yu and spun her around several times.
"Thank you so much, Chu Yu, for taking such good care of us!"
"We're all friends, why bring this up?" Chu Yu smiled.
“I have to tell you. My husband was saying yesterday that if you hadn’t guided him, he wouldn’t have known where to get the goods. The merchants you introduced were very helpful and introduced him to a lot of customers. He made this much money this year by setting up a street stall.”
Zhang Ying gestured with one finger.
"Ten thousand?" Chu Yu guessed.
Zhang Ying nodded excitedly, "After paying you back, we'll still have over ten thousand yuan left, which makes us a small ten-thousand-yuan household. That's why my husband picked up his parents and Xiaohua early this morning. We're going to be a bit more sophisticated this year, go to Mandarin to buy some down jackets for the New Year, and then go to Yorkham to spend some money so my parents-in-law can see the world."
Chu Yu smiled and said, "Just mention my name to get a discount."
"You said you couldn't go back on your word, so I won't be polite. Your down jackets are great in every way, but they're expensive. I really can't afford them without a discount. Luckily, I know the owner. I guess I'm just lucky."
Zhang Ying felt incredibly lucky. When she was struggling, Chu Yu introduced her to a part-time job, found a doctor for her daughter, lent them money for surgery, and even taught her how to make money.
With Chu Yu's help, they survived the darkest moment of their lives.
Now that their daughter is better and they have money, they plan to rent a house in Beijing so that the family will never be separated again.
Li Miao was packing her things when she heard Zhang Ying's words. She was so envious that she rushed over and hugged Chu Yu.
"Chu Yu, teach me too, help me make money."
Chu Yu smiled, tapped her on the head, and said:
"Alright, then I'll give you some golden advice, so remember it well. In the future, whenever you have money, buy a house. If you can buy one in Beijing, buy one in Beijing. If you can't buy one in Beijing, buy one in another big city. In short, no matter how luxurious the car or the TV, don't waste money. Buy enough houses first, buy ten or eight, then talk about other things. Once you have enough houses, you can live a carefree life. Not only will you be well-off for the rest of your lives, but your descendants won't have to worry about making a living either."
Li Miao and Zhang Ying were both listening, and they were both a little confused.
What's the point of buying a house these days?
"Why buy a house? We can't afford a courtyard house, and there's no need to buy a single-story house either."
"If you can afford a courtyard house, then buy a courtyard house. If you can't afford one, then buy a commercial apartment. There are already commercial apartments in Guangdong Province. We in Beijing can wait a little longer. There will be land auctions, and in the future, we will all live in commercial apartments like those in Hong Kong, with high-rise buildings of dozens of floors."
Neither Li Miao nor Zhang Ying had the experience of hers, nor had they ever seen such a tall building. In any case, Chu Yu's words could not be wrong.
Zhang Ying'an said with great enthusiasm: "My husband and I will earn more money next year and try to buy an apartment in Beijing."
"Me too! I want to buy ten houses, live a life of comfort, and become..."
Chu Yu laughed and said, "Sister House! Rich woman!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Sister House, rich woman, Chu Yu, how come you have so many new terms? I want to be a rich person like that, even if I don't get married or have children, as long as I have money."
Chu Yu packed her things and went home. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Shu Hui leading Shu Aiguo's family in from outside.
As soon as Deng Fangping entered, she looked around the magnificent courtyard house and exclaimed in amazement:
"Auntie, is this the courtyard house you bought? Wow, it's even more impressive than the ones on TV."
Shu Hui's courtyard house was not as big as Chu Yu's, and the family felt a bit cramped living there, so Chu Yu decided to spend the New Year at her place.
Besides the rooms for Shu Hui and her sisters, there are three guest rooms here, enough for them to stay in.
It was Deng Fangping's first time staying in a courtyard house, and she felt like she couldn't take it all in. The courtyard house was decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, with an antique style, grand and exquisite. There was also a toilet and a bathroom, and the bathroom had a bathtub where you could take a bath. It was really luxurious.
Push open the back door and you can go straight to Houhai Lake. After dinner, you can go for a walk, watch the old men swim in the summer, and watch them ice skate in the winter. This kind of life is incomparable to Deyang.
Deng Fangping and Shulan looked around and realized that no matter how good their hometown was, it couldn't compare to Beijing; it was far inferior in every way.
No wonder Chu Yu brought her mother and sister to Beijing.
Shulan was extremely envious. She had earned some money this year and then gave it back to Shu Aiguo, who then invested it in Xibao. She only had 20,000 yuan in savings.
"Chu Yu, how much did you buy this house for?"
