Chapter 948: The Female Lead in the Sad Drama (3)
"Xue Yanzong next door has made a lot of money selling electric fans. I see him with a slicked-back hair and leather shoes all day long, and he looks at the road through his nose when he walks, with a look of contempt for people. It seems that he has made a fortune. How about I take a leave of absence from my job and do business?" Yu Changfan asked Qiao Shichu tentatively.
Qiao Shichu thought about it and realized that the wave of layoffs would come in five or six years. Even if he didn't quit his job, the flour mill would still go bankrupt. It was better to start thinking about a way out now than to start thinking about making a living then.
So she said, "Just think it over carefully."
Yu Changfan was a little surprised. He smiled and said, "I thought you would disagree. After all, doing business is too risky. You said before that Xue Yanzong's business would not last long. The flour mill is the most reliable job. Although it is almost unable to pay the salary now, it is stable after all. It will not really go bankrupt."
Yu Changfan didn't know what would happen in the future and thought that the flour mill would never go bankrupt.
"Who asked us to raise a child? Now we can barely get by with just the two of us earning our livings, but in a year or two, the baby will have to go to school, and we may not even be able to afford the tuition. Do you have the heart to let the child suffer with us?" Qiao Shichu asked him back.
"Of course you can't bear it, right? Little guy, it's very expensive to raise you. Daddy has to work hard to earn a lot of money to be able to support you." Yu Changfan said, touching his son's little head.
Yu Chengxuanxi didn't understand either, he just smiled and showed his teeth to his father.
Qiao Shichu was not worried about Yu Changfan's ability to make a living.
In the original world's plot, he also started a business. Although he was not as successful as Xue Yanzong, who made a lot of money in a short time, he did it step by step in a down-to-earth manner and gradually made it big.
Although he loves to play, he only drinks, plays cards, and plays ball with friends, and has no interest in finding women.
Although he also had to socialize with business partners and had to find women to accompany him in order to follow the crowd, he did not have the courage to do so, because the original owner knew about it and would run to make a scene angrily every time. Not only would he scold Yu Changfan, he would also sternly warn his business partners not to drag him into playing with women.
She also threatened that if Yu Changfan dared to cheat, she would castrate him.
So over time, his business partners all knew that they could invite him for social outings and drinks, but they couldn't invite women to accompany him. Everyone also laughed at him for being henpecked and being dominated by his wife.
After Ning Guoyun heard about it, he came to persuade the original owner not to do this, saying that it was inevitable to have affairs in business, and it was normal to have women, as long as he didn't bring them home, he could pretend that he knew nothing about it...
She also told Qiao Shichu to be patient, to be sensible and consider the overall situation, and not to be an unreasonable, jealous shrew. She also said that if she made a scene regardless of the occasion, the man would not be able to hold his head up in front of his business partners, and he would be looked down upon, and she might even ruin his business.
When the original owner heard her words, she was so angry that she kicked her out with a broom on the spot. It would have been bad enough if she had not called her a lowly person, but if she was dragging others into being lowly with her, she really deserved to be struck by lightning.
Ning Guoyun probably took this matter back to tell Xue Yanzong, comparing Qiao Shichu's aggressive and short-sighted attitude with her own tolerance and understanding of her husband, in order to express her sincerity to Xue Yanzong: Look, how tolerant and understanding I am...
Qiao Shichu shook his head, put Ning Guoyun, the stupid woman, out of his mind, and started discussing business with Yu Changfan.
Yu Changfan is a man with strong initiative and execution ability. He said he wanted to take a leave of absence without pay and he really did it. When Yu's father and mother heard about it, they tried to persuade him several times, but seeing that he was determined, they had to give up. However, they still did not approve of his decision.
Yu Changfan didn't care. After all, he had already separated from his parents. As long as Qiao Shichu supported his decision, he could work hard without any worries.
Yu Changfan planned to do furniture business. At that time, the market economy began to gradually rise. Many people made money by doing business. There were also more and more rich people in other industries. Everyone had the awareness of buying houses, so naturally the furniture industry developed along with the real estate industry.
Yu Changfan has a wide range of friends and knows people from all walks of life. If he wants to find a carpenter who can make furniture, he only needs to ask his friends. Similarly, he set up a factory, sought investment, and attracted business by himself, slowly with the help of his friends.
Qiao Shichu did not interfere. This was Yu Changfan's own business. Qiao Shichu had no interest in this line of business. Moreover, she and Yu Changfan were husband and wife. If they ran the furniture factory as a husband-and-wife shop, any disagreements would easily affect business decisions.
Although Qiao Shichu was still working in the flour mill, he was actually thinking about quitting the job and finding other ways to make money.
If she just wanted money, she could sell any piece of jewelry from her companion space for a huge sum of money, but that would be too unchallenging, and she wouldn't be able to explain to Yu Changfan where the money came from, so there was no need to take this shortcut.
"Shichu, I heard that Changfan took a leave of absence from work and went to do business?" Qiao Shichu had just returned from get off work at the factory when he saw Ning Guoyun coming back from outside with her little daughter in her arms.
"Yes, the flour mill can no longer pay the wages, and the children are growing up and will go to school soon. This cannot go on, so he is thinking about starting a business to make some money." Qiao Shichu answered directly.
Ning Guoyun immediately showed a look of disapproval and said, "Hey, doing business nowadays doesn't guarantee making money. You may even lose money. My Yanzong made some money because he was lucky. If Yanzong and I hadn't been fired from the factory for having more children than allowed, I wouldn't have agreed to let Yanzong do business. He drinks and runs business with people every day outside, and his health has been ruined. If he was still in the factory, how could he have so many uneasy things?"
Qiao Shichu always felt that her complaints sounded like she was showing off, so she looked at her curly hair and said, "Ning Guoyun, what you said is really interesting... If your Yanzong didn't have a business, how could you afford to perm your hair? By the way, why did you perm your hair suddenly? Shouldn't a good woman have long, straight black hair? How can you perm your hair? This doesn't make you look virtuous and gentle at all."
Ning Guoyun suddenly felt uncomfortable and said, "I... I am just following the fashion trends. Yanzong said that he likes women with permed hair. I can't let other women outdo me..."
After hearing this, Qiao Shichu couldn't help but roll his eyes. Good guy, she got her hair permed because the man liked it, not because she liked it.
