◎Where do you get the money?◎
After talking about the house, the two began to chat about the decoration of the clothing store.
"My husband, Hong, called his friend this morning and said he can help us put the kind of lights you want on the train, but we have to choose the style ourselves. The price of each light varies a lot. What do you think? Are you sure you want to buy it?"
Buy it. If there is a channel to get it, I will definitely buy it.
Wei Xuan nodded and asked her, "Then how do we choose the style?" We couldn't go there in person, that would be too much trouble. We wouldn't have enough time.
Fang Jing thought for a moment and said, "Well, if you want to buy it, then I'll buy it too. There's a fax machine in Lao Hong's office. When the time comes, ask him to send the photos over for us to choose from."
"Is it okay? Will it be too much trouble?" Wei Xuan really didn't remember about the existence of a fax machine.
"It's not a big deal. I'll try to get them done as quickly as possible. I think it will be done tomorrow. I'll come back to you then."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home tomorrow."
...
...
After finishing her talk, Fang Jing stood up and said, "I'll be leaving first. I have to go to the child's grandmother's house for dinner later. As for the house, you'd better talk to your Jiang Che. Don't go there alone. What if you run into bad guys?"
After what happened today, Wei Xuan was indeed a little more cautious. People at this time were not necessarily honest. She nodded and said, "I understand. I will be careful next time."
After seeing Fang Jing off, Wei Xuan still felt a little tired for some reason. She thought it might be because she didn't take a nap at noon. She looked at the time and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. She simply didn't go to the store and went back to the room to take a nap. When she woke up, she went out just in time to pick up her daughter from school.
Jiang Che returned home in the evening and played with his daughter for a while. It was not until Wei Xuan finished cooking and brought out the dishes that he realized his wife looked very bad and exhausted.
Wei Xuan's behavior really frightened him, so he quickly asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Wei Xuan was puzzled: "No." She did feel a little uncomfortable at noon, but she felt much better after waking up from a nap.
Jiang Che was half-believing and half-doubting, because no matter how he looked at her, he felt that his wife's face was pale.
Wei Xuan ignored him and told her daughter beside her: "Put away all the toys, wash your hands and eat."
"Okay. What's delicious tonight, Mom?"
"Tonight we have your favorite pumpkin balls."
"Yeah. That's great." Yuanyuan's hands moved faster. After cleaning up, she immediately ran to wash her hands, came out and sat on the chair, waiting for her mother to serve her food.
Wei Xuan didn't eat much at dinner. Jiang Che saw this and couldn't help but ask again, "Are you really not feeling unwell?"
"Really not."
Well, when they were lying in bed at night, Wei Xuan told Jiang Che about the scoundrel she encountered when she went out to buy a house today.
Jiang Che was so angry that he almost jumped up after hearing this. He sat up from the bed excitedly and said angrily: "I was wondering why you looked strange today. It turns out that you were mad at him, right? You should have told me about this earlier. Give me the man's address and I will go to meet him." He must be tired of living if someone dares to bully his wife.
Wei Xuan rolled her eyes at him, pulled his hand and said, "Okay, stop making trouble. Can you force someone to sell his house if he doesn't want to? This kind of person is not worth our trouble to make things difficult for him. Let's think about the house first." Although she was buying winter clothes and it was still several months away from the Chinese New Year, time passed quickly.
Wei Xuan would never feel at ease if this matter was not settled quickly.
Jiang Che finally calmed down after hearing this, but he was still feeling suffocated and felt uncomfortable. He sat down again and simply kept silent.
Seeing him leaning against the bed without saying anything, Wei Xuan continued, "Sister Fang came this afternoon. She said there is a suitable house for rent next to her store and asked me to go and ask. I think if it really doesn't work, renting a house seems to be a good idea. What do you think?"
Jiang Che frowned. He felt that this idea was not good at all. Renting a house was not as cost-effective as using one's own house. His wife wanted to install lights and tiles in the store. It would cost a lot of money to decorate it. If the owner wanted to take back the house after the installation, then the money would be wasted.
Moreover, opening a store requires popularity. You have worked hard to build up the store and make it famous. It is not cost-effective to move to a new location and start all over again.
Therefore, Jiang Che felt that it was better not to rent someone else's house to open a store unless it was absolutely necessary.
But it is an indisputable fact that the family cannot afford to buy a house now. After thinking for a while, he asked: "How much cash do we have now?"
Wei Xuan does the accounting every day, and she knows best how much money there is at home.
When Jiang Che asked, she spoke without thinking, "I only had more than 2,800 yuan after I came back from the south after purchasing goods. With the income from those few days, it was only more than 3,300 yuan. After deducting the 1,000 yuan I paid to my second and third brothers, I only have about 2,500 yuan now."
Two thousand five? Jiang Che asked her, "Did Fang Jing tell me how much those lights cost when she came today?"
"She didn't say anything specific," Wei Xuan shook her head. "She just said that we should choose first, and each lamp has a different price."
Jiang Che touched Wei Xuan's hair and said, "Then go pick the lights tomorrow, and then we can talk about the house. I'll figure out a way to deal with this, so don't worry about it. I'm sure I can get it done for you."
Wei Xuan looked at him suspiciously: "What can you do? Don't ask my parents for money."
"No, I will definitely find a way to make sure you don't have no place to open a store. Trust me."
Wei Xuan thought that Jiang Che was indeed reliable. Since he said he had a way, she felt relieved.
The next afternoon, Wei Xuan waited for Fang Jing at home. At around two o'clock, Fang Jing came to her house with pictures of the lamps.
"Hey, take a look at which one you want. They all look pretty good to me. I'm so tired of choosing."
Wei Xuan took the thick stack of papers from her, sat on the chair and started reading.
It's really pretty, and what's even better is that the price is marked next to each picture, which allows Wei Xuan to choose the lamp that suits her more intuitively.
The headlights are too expensive, each one costs several thousand dollars, and Wei Xuan can't afford them.
Wei Xuan finally selected several small spotlights to illuminate the clothes, and as for the lighting, she chose a more cost-effective one. It may not be as gorgeous as the expensive ones, but she thinks it is enough for a clothing store.
After all, she didn't position this clothing store as high-end, and she was afraid that many customers would not dare to come in if the decoration was too exaggerated. That would be putting the cart before the horse.
These seven lights together would cost more than a thousand yuan, which made Wei Xuan very distressed.
As for Fang Jing, she was even more exaggerated. Perhaps she was attracted by the beautiful lights, or perhaps because she was not short of money, the lights she picked were all relatively expensive. Especially the one she picked for her own home, which was twice as expensive as all the lights Wei Xuan bought combined.
Wei Xuan is so envious. When will she be able to buy things without looking at the price and just pick what she likes?
In short, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard. She believes that this day will not be too far away.
After lighting the lights, Wei Xuan prepared to give the money to Fang Jing first.
But Fang Jing said, "Don't worry, you can pay it together with the money for the tiles when you get it."
Wei Xuan thought about it and decided it was a good idea. There would also be shipping costs, which would probably be quite a bit.
When Jiang Che came back in the evening, Wei Xuan would let him listen to it.
"I estimate that the tiles and shipping costs will be at least 500 yuan, which is 1,500 yuan. Then we only have 1,000 yuan left, and this 1,000 yuan does not include the cost of hiring someone to decorate. Are you sure you can handle the house?"
"Sure, don't worry. I will give you a satisfactory answer tomorrow."
Seeing that he was so confident, Wei Xuan didn't say anything else.
But suddenly he remembered that the clothes from the clothing store would be arriving in the next few days, so he told Jiang Che: "Remember to go to the post office after get off work tomorrow. If they have arrived, you can take them to the store and leave them there."
"Okay, got it, go to sleep."
The next day, Jiang Che went to the post office after get off work. The clothes did arrive, and he made two trips back and forth on his bicycle to get all the clothes back to the store.
This time he did not go home immediately. Instead, he turned two alleys and knocked on the door of a strange house.
As soon as the door opened, Jiang Che asked the people in the room what they thought about the matter they had mentioned before.
It turned out that this family was the owner of the house on the other side of the grain store. Jiang Che found him and wanted to buy his house. Then all three houses in a row would belong to him. As long as he vacated the grain store and moved it next door, Wei Xuan could still connect the two stores into one to open a clothing store.
But the family was not short of money and did not really want to sell the house. Jiang Che approached him twice but he did not agree. This was also the reason why Jiang Che did not tell Wei Xuan about this. He planned to buy it and then give his wife a surprise.
He came here today as we had agreed before. Probably because the price Jiang Che quoted to the landlord last time was not bad, he finally agreed to consider it.
This was the third time Jiang Che had come to the homeowner. Seeing Jiang Che's sincerity, the homeowner said, "I can sell it to you, but you must pay for the house in full at once."
"No problem," Jiang Che breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I'll come to you tomorrow at noon to handle the transfer, okay?"
"Can."
Jiang Che completed the task assigned by his wife successfully. He hummed a song and walked happily to the sixth floor. As soon as he got home, he announced loudly: "Wife, the house issue has been resolved."
"Solved?" Wei Xuan was cooking when she rushed out of the kitchen with a spatula and asked, "How did you solve it? Did you borrow money or buy a house?"
"Hehe," Jiang Che laughed twice before answering proudly, "I bought the house on the other side of the grain store. I've already talked to the owner and will go to transfer the ownership tomorrow at noon. By then, the two stores will be connected, and it should be enough for you to open a store."
"That's enough, that's great." Wei Xuan was so excited that she hugged Jiang Che and kissed him. But when the excitement died down, she felt something was wrong. She let go of Jiang Che's hand and stared into his eyes and asked, "Where did you get the money to buy a house?"
