◎Retribution◎
She discussed with Jiang Che that they should write the application first, and not let go of both the Street Office and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and they should run together.
It was definitely difficult at the beginning. After all, the policy had just been issued, and the leaders had no precedent to follow. Everyone needed to hold a meeting to discuss and study how to deal with it. Fortunately, after nearly a month of hard work, Jiang's shop finally got its business license.
After thinking about the name of the store for a long time, Wei Xuan felt that calling it a food shop or a grain shop was not appropriate, so she simply called it a shop, selling homemade cooked food as well as vegetables and grain, without missing out on either.
After the business license was issued, the two of them quickly packed up their things and went to Jiang's house to tell them about the matter.
Jiang's mother and father were very confused and thought the two children were just fooling around.
Jiang's mother said bluntly: "Don't you have enough money to spend? If not, I still have some money for you to use first."
Wei Xuan saw that Mrs. Jiang's face darkened when she heard her mother-in-law's words, so she quickly winked at Jiang Che to let him speak. Jiang Che had no choice but to explain: "Mom, we don't lack money to spend."
"If you don't need money, why do you want to be a self-employed person?" Nowadays, when people talk about self-employed people, their first reaction is that they are not doing their job properly. If you don't need money, why do you have to be criticized by others?
...

"Now that Yuanyuan is at home, Wei Xuan definitely can't go to work. When Yuanyuan grows up, we will definitely have more children. If this goes on, Wei Xuan will never be able to go out to work. Opening a store will give her something to do and make some extra money to supplement the family. It's better than staying at home to take care of the children all the time! Besides, we have a business license now, it's legal, let others say whatever they want, what matters is that we get the benefits ourselves. My parents are smarter than me, they can't be unable to figure out such a small thing."
These words were well-reasoned and even Jiang's father couldn't find any words to refute them, not to mention Jiang's mother.
Jiang's mother could only angrily say, "Don't flatter me. You are always right anyway. Just call yourself Chang Youli."
"Hehehe" Yuanyuan found it funny to see her grandma scolding her dad, and she smiled with her eyes curved.
"You have no conscience." Jiang Che cursed with a smile.
Mother Jiang took her granddaughter over and said, "Yuanyuan, you know what I taught you and you're standing on my side, right?"
Well, as long as you are happy, it's okay to teach you a lesson.
Jiang's father and mother knew about this matter, and Jiang's eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law must have known about it as well. They knew about it, and Jiang Che's sisters who often went home naturally heard about it too.
Just like that, word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Within a few days, the news that Wei Xuan and Jiang Che were about to open a store spread. Of course, they had not originally intended to hide it from anyone.
Nie Yuande, who was waiting to catch Jiang Che's weakness, didn't expect that what he had been waiting for for half a year was the news that Jiang Che was going to open a store. He suddenly felt that the meat in his mouth was not tasty anymore, and he almost smashed the bowl in his hand.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Erjie looked over curiously.
Nie Yuande said: "Please repeat what you just said."
Sister Jiang was puzzled, but she said it again: "I said that Xiaoxuan and I opened a grocery store and were going to be self-employed. What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Nie Yuande finished his meal absentmindedly. After putting down his bowl and chopsticks, he immediately ran to Aunt Jiang's house to find Ge Huai.
Aunt Jiang opened the door and was surprised to see him: "Yuan De, why are you here? What's the matter? Come in and tell me."
"It's okay. I just want to talk to my cousin. Is he home?"
"Yes, yes, I'll call him for you." Then he turned around and shouted into the house, "Ge Huai, your second brother-in-law is here to see you, come out quickly."
Ge Huai still hasn't found a job. Every day at home he is either disliked by his father or complained by his mother. He was feeling annoyed when he heard Nie Yuande coming. He knew he must be here for Jiang Che's matter, so he quickly put on his coat and followed Nie Yuande out.
After closing the door, Aunt Jiang looked back at her daughter-in-law who was still in a daze, and she was furious: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go wash the dishes?"
Zhong Yulan clenched her fists and finally swallowed the anger in her heart before turning around and going to the kitchen.
In the living room, Ge Dahai criticized Aunt Jiang: "Okay, it's been a long time since this happened, stop taking your anger out on your daughter-in-law."
"I understand." Actually, Aunt Jiang didn't mean to get angry at Zhong Yulan. It was just that when she looked at her, she couldn't help but think of the time when her son went to her parents' home to pay a visit but was sent back without even having a meal.
How could she not hate him? They were both daughters-in-law from the countryside, but how could her sister-in-law be so lucky to meet a generous and decent girl like Wei Xuan? The more Aunt Jiang thought about it, the more she felt bad.
Zhong Yulan, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, felt even worse at this moment.
If she were given another chance, she would definitely not choose to marry Ge Huai again. She had seen clearly that he was a guy with big ambitions but a fragile life.
He is completely useless and has a bad temper. He looks down on this and that all the time.
Why were they driven back during the Chinese New Year? Was it her fault? It was Ge Huai's own fault. He was planning to report Jiang Che, but his brother-in-law found out about it. His brother-in-law told her mother that she could only accept one son-in-law from the eldest son-in-law and the youngest son-in-law. You can choose.
Is there any need to think about her mother's power-hungry nature? Of course, she will choose whoever can give her more benefits.
This was secretly told to her by her second sister. She was abandoned by her family. It was all Ge Huai's fault. Didn't he want to catch Jiang Che's little braid? She didn't tell him that Jiang Che had discovered the little tricks he had done behind his back, and let him continue to dream his dream!
The two of them walked out of the door and into a deserted alley nearby. Nie Yuande then asked Ge Huai, "Didn't you tell me that you would definitely catch Jiang Che? It's been more than half a year, why is there no sign of him at all?"
Ge Huai felt a little guilty. He didn't know why, but during the Chinese New Year this year, his wife's eldest sister and brother-in-law suddenly ignored him and his wife. He asked his wife to go to her brother-in-law's small courtyard in Jing City to look for him, but was told that the tenant had changed.
Until now he has not found out where Wu Yun's business was transferred to.
He could only comfort Nie Yuande: "Brother-in-law, don't worry. Jiang Che may have heard something and is hiding for the time being. As long as he keeps doing it, I will definitely catch him."
Nie Yuande stared at him for a long time, sneered and said, "You still want to arrest him? Do you know that he opened a store?"
Ge Huai was stunned for a moment before he said, "Open a store? Brother-in-law, you must be joking. Now, apart from state-owned enterprises, who dares to open a store openly?"
Nie Yuande looked at his stupid look and suddenly regretted it. He should not have cooperated with him for the sake of convenience. He thought that Jiang Che had his wife as a connection and he didn't have a job, so it would definitely be more convenient than following Jiang Che alone. He didn't expect that he was so stupid. It's a pity that it's too late to know it now. He missed this opportunity and didn't know when he would be able to catch Jiang Che making a mistake next time.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Humph, a man like Ge Huai wants to compete with Jiang Che. He didn't even notice such an obvious policy change. What can I expect from him?
Thinking of this, he said with a hint of meaning: "Cousin, you should read more newspapers if you have nothing to do." He turned around and left.
Ge Huai was left standing there alone, looking at his receding back with resentment.
Although he didn't know why Nie Yuande asked him to read the newspaper, he could hear the sarcasm in his words.
After standing for a while, he returned home and saw his parents sitting in the main room. Ge Huai asked, "I heard that Jiang Che is going to open a store?"
"Did you just hear Yuan De say that? I really don't know. I'll go ask him tomorrow when I have time."
Ge Huai didn't care about what his mother said. He looked at Ge Dahai and asked, "Dad, won't he be arrested if he opens a store now?"
Ge Dahai put down the newspaper, looked at his son, and said after a while: "What do you do when you go out every day? Can't you see the great changes outside? There are so many newspapers at home. Can't you flip through them when you have nothing to do? You are a college student after all, and you don't even know this basic policy?"
It was the newspaper again. Ge Huai was annoyed listening to it. He didn't get the reason and was scolded. He was so angry that he turned around, slammed the door and went into the house.
Seeing Zhong Yulan folding clothes, he walked over and threw the clothes on the ground: "You only know how to fold your clothes. I asked you to ask your sister and brother-in-law for news, but did you go?"
Zhong Yulan bent down to pick up the clothes and replied calmly: "I looked for it, but I couldn't find it."
"If you haven't found it yet, don't you know to go home and ask? Do you still need me to teach you this?"
Zhong Yulan ignored his helpless screams, put away the clothes and replied, "I'll find it." But it's not specifically for you. After saying that, she went out to take a shower.
Ge Huai felt that everything was going wrong, and he kicked the table leg in anger. As a result, he broke his toe without noticing, and he cried out in pain.
He was sent to the hospital by the Ge family in the middle of the night.
Wei Xuan got the news from Jiang's mother on the day the store opened.
After getting the business license, they both wanted to open the store as soon as possible, so they just tidied it up and opened it. After all, it was a happy event, so they invited relatives to come and liven up the atmosphere.
Aunt Jiang didn't come. She asked Jiang's mother to bring a message saying that Ge Huai was admitted to the hospital yesterday and needed someone to take care of him. He couldn't leave without someone by his side, so she wouldn't come this time.
Her first reaction when she heard the news was: Serves her right, this is probably the legendary retribution!
Of course, I still have to pretend to be concerned. What did she say at that time?
Oh, she asked her mother-in-law: Is my cousin seriously injured? Does Jiang Che and I need to visit him?
The mother-in-law said no, and then she obediently let the matter go.
She was busy and she was alone, so for the time being only one of the two stores was open. The other side was temporarily used by her to store her and her daughter's things.
The store was not decorated much, with just two shelves and a counter.
There is not much to sell for the time being, mainly selling food and eggs brought in by the Wei family. Then put a stove at the door and put the braised meat on it, that's it.
If they raise the price of grain and eggs a little bit according to the price charged by the Wei family, Wei Xuan and Jiang Che can still make a profit from selling them. This is the approach of small profits but quick turnover.
The braised pork sold very well, and often two jars were not enough to sell. As the store was open for a longer time and had more and more regular customers, the braised pork sold better and better.
Section 51
Half a month later, on this evening, after the couple counted the day's sales, Wei Xuan proposed the idea of hiring another person to help her run the store.
"The weather is getting colder and colder. Yuanyuan will be freezing if she sleeps in the store at noon. If I hire someone else, I won't be trapped in the store."
Jiang Che would definitely not object. He wanted his wife to rest more. However, he said, "We need to find a reliable person. Otherwise, we won't feel comfortable with him accepting the money. Don't worry. Let me think about this carefully."
Wei Xuan said, "It's not necessarily the case. The number of items in the store is fixed. For example, I know roughly how much braised meat I make every day. Not to mention grains, I can tell how many kilograms they are just by weighing them. As long as I do a good job of accounting every day, I don't have to worry about others having selfish motives."
How did so many chain stores open in the past? It is impossible to rely on people's self-consciousness. No matter how close the people are, they will fall out when they encounter interests.
Ultimately, it still depends on the system. As long as the accounts are clear, no one will be able to embezzle a penny from her.
Jiang Che still felt uneasy about leaving money in the hands of strangers, but what his wife said made sense, so he had to take a step back.
"You don't have to find a relative, but at least it has to be someone you know well, right?"
Wei Xuan looked at him and asked, "Do you have a suitable candidate?"
There really is one!
