Shop in hand
"Why are you causing trouble? Just stay at home!"
Hu Yufeng flatly rejected the old lady's proposal. She didn't know what the old lady was planning, she was just afraid that she would be angry, and she was also worried about Wenli. What are you following? Are you spying on them? Since she dared to make the decision to let him go, it was both a trust and a test. Didn't you see that Wenli was so moved that he looked at her like his own mother? You are so good, you messed up the situation with just one sentence. Didn’t you see that Wenli’s face was gloomy?
"Okay, the selection of candidates has been decided." Hu Yufeng didn't look at the old lady, and continued, "There is another difficulty now, which is that we don't have enough manpower..." When talking about recruiting people, everyone felt a little worried. These days, housewives are the backbone of the family. After finishing housework, they do farm work, and after finishing farm work, they do housework. They have no free time all year round.
"But there's no rush. Let's buy it and settle everything. We'll open for business at least after the New Year..." The Li family owns a hardware and grocery store. After buying the business, they have to divide it up and paint it, which is very troublesome.
"Then buy it? Do you all agree?" Hu Yufeng asked.
"Agree..." everyone answered in unison.
"Okay, the next step is where is the money going to come from?"
Qin Shengtian was speechless. So after all this talk, he still had no money but was still making empty promises? It also made him very angry after he participated in it sincerely.
"Mom, how about borrowing money?" Qin Wenli said, "I don't have any acquaintances in the credit union. I heard that I have to give at least 30% of the loan to the director, and it will take several days for the approval. It's more convenient to borrow money..."
There is one thing he didn't say: the director of the credit union in Shangguan Town is very evil-hearted, and 30% of the facts were exaggerated by him. I heard that out of a loan of 5,000 yuan, not only will the lender only get 1,500 yuan, but he also has to treat the lender to a meal in the early stages.
With the money, he might as well treat his brothers and father-in-law to a meal instead of feeding a rat.
Hu Yufeng had also heard of this rumor. Since Wenli mentioned it, she thought there must be a way. She said seriously, "Okay, let's go and borrow it separately tomorrow morning..." But tears were streaming down her face: What's the point of splitting up? Wenli's family still has some rich relatives, but her relatives are so poor that they almost have no underwear.
Qin Wenli understood it in his mind, and nodded in agreement with a smile, and had already started thinking about where to get the money.
…
"Let's rule out Fourth Brother first. Although he is rich, we can't always take advantage of his family. Let's forget about it this time..."
"Big brother's family has been planning a marriage every year, and they have to pay a betrothal gift. But if I don't tell him, he will definitely be angry if he finds out, so I'll just ask him to borrow 500!"
"Forget about the second and third brothers, they can't make the decision. Stop fighting over this couple..."
After the meeting, Qin Wenli lay on the kang, counting his brothers on his fingers, and then asked Yang Xiu with a wink.
"Xiu'er, how much savings does our father have? I can just borrow half of it!"
Yang Xiu rolled her eyes and said reluctantly, "Two thousand at most." If it was more, even if her father didn't say anything, Dali and his wife would probably have concerns. The husband's family is a basic need, but they can't let this make her family uneasy.
"Enough, enough..." Qin Wenli excitedly hugged Yang Xiu's face and kissed her, then lowered his head to write and draw. Yang Xiu was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red. He angrily punched Qin Wenli, but that punch didn't have much power:
"What are you doing? The children are here!"
The two children looked at each other and laughed, and then two people came up from the left and right to give each other a kiss.
"I want a kiss too..."
"Crazy girl, Shushu is still young, why are you fooling around with him? Go to bed!" After a while, Yang Xiu's roar came from the house, startling the black pig outside the yard and making it grunt twice.
…
Qin Wenli called his eldest brother early in the morning, and then rode his bike to his father-in-law's house.
The old father-in-law was really straightforward. As soon as he heard the purpose of the visit, he asked his mother-in-law to open the cabinet and took out a thick red cloth bag from the secret box. After turning over the layers of the bundle, Qin Wenli was stunned to see a thick stack of hundred-yuan bills.
Even though he knew that his father-in-law had saved money, he didn't know he had saved it for so long.
Yang Yonglu counted out two thousand yuan and handed it to his son-in-law: "Count it..."
Qin Wenli was embarrassed to count, because if he did it would seem like he didn't believe him. But seeing that my father-in-law was determined not to give up until he had counted the number clearly, I still counted it twice obediently. Seeing this, Yang Yonglu closed the bag with satisfaction.
"Since your mother asked you to go, just go for it and do your best. I watch the news every day. Now that everything is in ruins, it's a good opportunity to start a business. To be honest, I'm also planning to open a shop for Dali in the town. Since you're in the town, please help keep an eye out..."
Qin Wenli quickly agreed, feeling somewhat impressed. As expected, as an educated old gentleman, he has a different sensitivity.
After eating at his father-in-law's house, he hurried home. He thought there might be news about his eldest brother, so he had to go and check it out.
…
On the other side, Hu Yufeng came to the home of her only rich relative, Wang Tianrong.
As usual, she visited her old aunt first, and then asked her cousin's wife for a loan with difficulty. As for why not ask Wang Tianrong? There's been a lot of talk about nothing between them, but what will her cousin's wife think if she asks others to borrow money?
My cousin's wife expressed some surprise. If she was told that this cousin had some unclear affairs with her husband when she was young, she would still believe it. But now that she has grown older, she seems to be a well-behaved person. Especially in the past two years, he has been obsessed with making money, and has not even been home for half a year. He has no idea what those people outside are talking about!
So she was a little surprised that she would suddenly ask for money, but all her thoughts only lasted for a moment. She smiled and pulled Hu Yufeng's hand back: "Sister, buying a shop is a good thing. Wait a minute, I'll tell your cousin..."
Having said that, he walked out quickly. Hu Yufeng felt uneasy in the room, but she could only wait patiently.
Fortunately, not long after, the cousin's wife took a bundle of money and stuffed it into Hu Yufeng's hand: "Take this thousand first, if it's not enough, just ask and I will find a way..."
Hu Yufeng's face flushed red. Now that things had come to this, Hu Yufeng knew that the discussion was fake. This must be her cousin's wife's private money. She felt the money was a little hot to the touch.
My cousin's wife put both of her hands over hers and squeezed them: "Take it. There's no rush for the money. You can pay me back when you have the money..."
Hu Yufeng had no choice but to say goodbye to her cousin's wife and quickly walked out of the yard.
I feel disgusted all the way along: what I did in the past has made me feel self-conscious about everything I do now. She opened her hand and saw that there were denominations of both large and small. She clenched her fist and then released it. After a long time, he let out a sigh and thought, forget it. A penny can make a hero fall. Anyone who lends money is a benefactor!
…
When I got home, I found Wenli had returned. I learned that his elder brother had sent me one thousand yuan. After the two of us settled the amount, it was exactly four thousand and five hundred.
So the two of them rushed to the town without stopping, took out the money and made arrangements, and then, with Lao Fang's witness, they handed over the money and the contract, and got a shop!
"Uncle Fang, Uncle Li, let's go for a quick meal?" Qin Wenli invited the two after signing the contract.
The smooth acquisition of this shop was inseparable from the information provided by Lao Fang. It would be rude not to treat him to a meal.
Old Li waved his hand: "I won't go. My grandson is still waiting for me in Yang County. I'll pack up and go there..."
Qin Wenli didn't force it too much after hearing this. He said a few words of comfort and took Lao Fang to the restaurant.
After a few dishes and a bottle of wine, Lao Fang became very talkative after two drinks:
"Since we first met, I've seen that you and Wenli are both capable of great things. Look, you're doing exactly what I said."
"Well, I'm just fooling around. Compared with yours, this amount of wealth is nothing..." Hu Yufeng said modestly.
"That's different. It's only been two years since you guys got a car and a house. I was far worse off than you back then..." Lao Fang took a sip of wine and continued.
"Uncle Fang, thank you for your compliment. Let's enjoy the food... I know that this time, our business can have all these achievements, all thanks to your support. Come, I toast you!" Qin Wenli picked up the wine glass and clinked it lightly with Uncle Fang, then drank it all in one gulp.
After having a good meal and a few drinks, Qin Wenli sent the tipsy Lao Fang back to the store. The cold wind blew away all the drunkenness on his face.
After helping his elderly mother climb onto the tricycle, he started the car and slowly drove home.
…
"How's it going? Is everything going well?"
Yang Xiu asked with a smile when he saw them coming back.
"It went smoothly, very smoothly... Look, this is our first shop..." Hu Yufeng took out the sales contract from her arms.
Yang Xiu took it curiously and quickly read it, then said in amazement: "Mom, I got the house just by this piece of paper? Then I have to keep this piece of paper well!"
"What are you thinking about? Wenli is going to get the license in a few days. Then you can take this contract to the Housing Authority to register the transfer of ownership..." In fact, the sale of houses in rural areas is all done with a contract, but Hu Yufeng and Qin Wenli are not at ease about it. It is better to go through the formal procedures so that there will be guarantees at all times.
When I mentioned this to Lao Li, he was a smart man and agreed readily. They agreed that Wenli would call him when he arrived in Yang County, and the two of them would go to handle the formal transfer.
Qin Shu also came over to take a look. Unfortunately, he was illiterate, and the words on the page looked like ghostly scribbles to him. However, he keenly grasped the unfinished meaning of grandma's words, "Grandma, will we still have many shops?"
Hu Yufeng smiled and touched her grandson's head: "Yes, as long as our family works together, we will definitely have many shops in the future. You and your sister should study hard, the future glory of our family depends on you..."
The golden afternoon sunlight shone on her hair. Yang Xiu stared at her mother-in-law for a while and curled up the corners of her mouth.
…
In the evening, Qin Shengtian and others also learned that the shop had been acquired.
The old lady has been depressed since last night. Every time she sees Qin Wenli come in, she stares at him eagerly and follows him wherever he goes. Hu Yufeng was speechless, but Qin Wenli seemed to be unaware and didn't even glance at her.
Qin Shengtian was not interested in this. His only joy after buying the shop was to be able to brag about it outside. However, Hu Yufeng said that wealth should not be shown off. You are not allowed to live here, and you are not allowed to show off, so just say what does it have to do with him!
Compared with the other two, Qin Yu is a fan of supporting roles. She read the contract over and over again, folded it carefully and handed it to her grandmother, "Grandma, I want to make a lot of money in the future and buy a lot of shops for our family!"
The whole room burst into laughter, and Hu Yufeng was even more delighted: "Okay, okay, grandma is waiting!"
