Chapter 287 The Old Lady Becomes the Boss



"This house is nice, but I have nothing to do here. How uncomfortable would it be to sit here all day? Back home, I'm surrounded by old neighbors. I can chat with them and even grow some vegetables."

The old lady looked at the beautiful little garden in the yard.

Even if she was asked to grow vegetables, she would not be willing to do so because it was too wasteful.

"Grandma, please, just live here. Aunt Wan gave us the house and we've already rented it. The small garden in the yard, as well as the walls, tables, and everything else, cost over 10,000 yuan to decorate. It would be a shame if someone moved away."

Tian Chengcheng knew the old lady's weakness and kept talking about it. How could the old lady bear it?

More than ten thousand yuan!

Just thinking about it made her chest ache.

"Then I'll think about it."

"Don't think about it, it's settled. Take a look at what else you need. Since I have nothing to do these few days, I'll go shopping with you and show you around. There are a lot of old ladies there, chatting all day and gossiping about who's been home for a while."

It's quite boring.

If you’re really bored, find something to do.”

Tian Chengcheng had thought about this problem. After all, the old lady was only about fifty years old and was in good health. It would be really boring if she had nothing to do all day long.

"I'm already this age, what can I do?"

"Grandma, you can't think like that. You can learn as long as you live. As long as you want to learn, it's never too late to start. Besides, you are in such good health now. I support you in doing something."

Nowadays, old people are very stingy with money. If they don’t earn money, they will be even more reluctant to spend it.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to give her a way to make money.

It is more reassuring to be able to earn money and be willing to spend it than to have to rely on others for money.

The old lady was moved when she heard her words.

"Fubao, what do you think I can do? How about selling buns?"

I can't do more, just enough money to eat and drink is enough.

"Selling buns is too hard. Why don't you open a small shop and sell some stationery or something, right in front of the school? You don't have to make money, but just watching those kids coming and going every day is pretty good."

The old lady thought for a moment and said, "Of course I can, but I don't know how to do it. I can't even collect money properly."

"It's just some small things. How about this, we open it across from the Experimental Primary School. Let Runyu live here with you, so you two can have someone to look after each other. She can come and help you after school. Runyu is smart and good at accounting, so it won't affect her studies.

She has to go to elementary school for six years. When she graduates, even if she doesn't help you, you will have learned how to do the accounting. If you don't want to run the shop anymore, you can just sell it."

In this way, not only the old lady's problem was solved, but also Runyu's problem was solved. It was a good thing that killed two birds with one stone.

It is not appropriate for Runyu to follow Aunt Wang and the others all the time.

The old lady agreed as soon as she heard it.

She used to live alone and didn't think it was a big deal, but since Fubao came, she got used to having someone around.

She had to leave so suddenly, and she felt empty inside when she thought about being alone in the future.

Runyu is a well-behaved and sensible child. It would be a good thing for him to be his companion, and he can also take care of the child.

"I think this is a good idea," said the old lady.

At this moment, she was a little excited.

I never thought that after living in the countryside all my life, I would run to the city to open a shop at this age. No matter how big or small it is, I would be a boss.

Do it when you say it.

The three of them immediately went to hang out near the Experimental Primary School and saw a 20-square-meter shop diagonally opposite. The small yard at the back was public and very clean, but the rent was a little expensive.

When the old lady heard the price, she started to back off.

Tian Chengcheng continued to negotiate with the landlord. "I'll take the price you asked for, but I have a condition. Within six years, unless this place is demolished, you may not sublet this cottage to anyone else. In addition, I'll give you a 5% rent increase every year. We'll sign a contract, and if you break it, you'll have to pay a 2,000 yuan penalty."

He will be away for a long time and wants to get things done in one go.

Don't argue with the landlord all day long, it's pointless.

The landlord was a straightforward person and agreed to it.

The old lady was very excited holding the contract.

"The contract is signed now! Is this store ours?"

"Grandma, it's ours now. I'll have Master Liu come and renovate it for us, repaint the walls, and change the sign. We'll be able to open it before the elementary school starts."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." The old lady said excitedly.

After finishing these, they went to the bun shop and told everyone about renting the store, and mentioned Runyu's matter by the way.

Wang Nuo was reluctant to let her go when he heard this. "If Runyu goes with you, I will see her less often in the future, and I will miss her."

"Second sister, you will see me less often then. Will you miss me?"

"Needless to say, you heartless person! Look, my eyes are still swollen from crying, and it's all because of you. Why are you so sudden? You said you were going south and then you went south. How am I going to look at you in the future?"

As Wang Nuo spoke, he began to wipe away his tears again.

Tian Chengcheng didn't expect her to be like this and was at a loss for a moment.

"Second sister, don't cry! It's not like we can't see each other. I can come back anytime. Besides, if you're not busy, come find me in the south. I'll take you around the area and let you experience the scenery of a foreign country."

After Tian Chengcheng said this, Wang Nuo couldn't cry anymore.

"Really? You can even see foreign scenery over there."

"Of course. That's the border. Our country is separated from the small country to the south by a river. Standing on this side of the river, you can see foreign countries."

Although Wang Nuo was very shocked, she still felt very uncomfortable.

I never thought Fubao would leave.

Wang Xiaohong's eyes were also red, but she still pushed Wang Nuo and said, "Don't make trouble for Fubao. Fubao has her own ideas. Making money is a good thing. This child has a promising future."

"Of course I know Fubao has a bright future. She's blessed! She's the most blessed child in the world."

However, the more Wang Nuo spoke, the more upset he felt, and tears fell uncontrollably.

Seeing her like this, Wang Xiaohong also started crying.

"Second sister, Auntie, please stop crying. I will be very sad if you act like this."

The old lady also followed suit and advised: "Yes, don't cry, it's a good thing that Fubao is successful, we will all benefit from her, and our lives will get better and better."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaohong couldn't help but burst into tears.

How difficult was her life in the Tian family?

Later, they were driven out with their four children. If Fubao had not helped them, the four of them might have had no chance of survival.

I really don't want her to leave.

"Fubao, can't you just not leave?" Wang Nuo asked.
