"Oh, why did you come just now?" asked the fat boy's mother.
"Oh, don't mention it. My mother-in-law is so hard to serve. I made a meal for her, but she complained about this and that. When I was about to leave, she was still sullen, saying that it was not easy for her son to make money. Isn't she just worried that I would lose money playing mahjong?"
Xiaoguo's mother's relationship with her mother-in-law is not very harmonious, so she seldom comes out to meet Qin Man and the others and play with them.
Because she goes out more often, her mother-in-law likes to talk about her in a sarcastic way.
"Your life is so hard every day! But why do you care so much? You have done enough for their family. You take care of your husband and children at home, and you are filial to your parents. You have three different meals a day. You should be content to have a daughter-in-law like you!"
You are tired enough, what's wrong with coming out to relax from time to time? You are not a nanny for their family!"
The chubby mother began to stand up for the injustice.
"Little Fatty's mom, you are the lucky one. Your husband can make money, and your parents-in-law are decent people, so you don't have to worry about these problems. My mother-in-law is from the countryside, and my father-in-law died early, so she had to live with us. Living under the same roof, there are always a lot of gossips!"
A few people were playing mahjong and chatting about gossip, which was quite interesting. Qin Man and Xiao Guo's mother were lucky today, and they took turns to win a few hands right from the start.
"Tell me the truth, did you secretly worship the God of Wealth when you went out today?" Dazhuang's mother poked Qin Man's waist. At that time, Qin Man had just finished a bar-shaped flower.
"How can that be? I came here with you. Things will change over time, and it will be your turn soon!" Qin Man said with a smile.
"I told you not to sit by the window. As the saying goes, if you lean against the window, you will lose all your money. Don't sit by the window next time!" The chubby mother suddenly felt that she was careless when choosing the seat, and typed out a card with the word "get rich".
"Bang!" Xiaoguo's mother just happened to have a pair of lucky cards. She had already touched three pairs, and it looked like she was going to get a big pair.
"If you say so, who will dare to sit by the window next time?"
It's fun when a few women play together, and everyone is laughing and having fun.
Several children were playing with their chubby grandpa and grandma, and they kept stuffing snacks and fruits into their mouths.
"By the way, Fatty Mom, how much did you spend on this house?"
Qin Man looked at their house for a long time. She really wanted to have a house of her own. Only with a home could she have a sense of belonging and security.
However, she doesn't know enough about the current housing prices, and doesn't know exactly how much money she should prepare. How long will she have to struggle?
"I bought this house three years ago. When I bought it, including the renovation, it cost exactly 10,000 yuan!
"Everything and housing prices are rising now. If you want to buy a house of similar size, you will have to pay a few thousand yuan more! But seeing that your malatang shop is doing so well, you can achieve your goal in two years at most. If you really want to buy it, you can take out a loan. Your husband has a rural hukou, so he can get an interest-free loan!" Xiaopang's mother explained.
"Forget it, I just paid off my debt to the bank and I don't want to owe any more. If I owe too much, I'll be unable to sleep at night because of it!"
Qin Man would pay in full if she wanted to buy anything and she would never borrow money to buy it.
"Haha, you're right. If you owe too much money, it's really easy to lose sleep!" Dazhuang's mother agreed.
At this moment, the chubby mother suddenly thought of something, became mysterious, and came close to a few people to whisper.
"Let me tell you something!"
"What is it?"
Women are all gossipy, and I thought she had some little gossip to tell.
"That's right. I saved a small sum of money and planned to open a clothing store. You see, my family is originally a clothing factory, so we have a ready supply of goods. I saw a storefront in that newly opened department store, but I'm short of money, so I was wondering if any of you would like to partner with me. You see, I stay at home and do nothing, so I want to start my own business. As a woman, it's better to have a business of my own. We can split the shares of the store 50-50. Are any of you interested?"
"You can't come to me for this. With my family's financial situation, we don't have the ability to open a store!" Dazhuang's mother refused.
"Me too. Although my husband works in a government agency, we don't have the ability to open a store. Besides, your family is not short of money, so why do you want to recruit others as partners?"
Xiao Guoguo's mother also felt that it was inappropriate. She mainly felt that it was unreliable. Xiao Pang's family was not short of money, so it was not difficult for him to open a clothing store. ..
"No matter how much money I have, it's still my husband's money. I just feel uneasy as a woman and my parents' home is far away. I want to start my own business. The money is earned by myself, so I can spend it with peace of mind. If there is any accident in the future, I still have a way out. I want to be like Qin Man, start my own business, earn money and spend it myself, without having to consider the face of my husband's family. This is the achievement I want!"
To be honest, Xiaopang’s mother likes career-oriented women like Qin Man. They are really unique and never treat men as dependents.
"But most of the money for opening the store came from my husband. If he hadn't made some money from writing books, I wouldn't be able to open this store!" Qin Man spoke frankly. Jiang Cong accounted for most of the credit for opening this store.
"That being said, although the money is not yours, the idea is yours. You are so smart and capable, and you have such a good business sense. If it were someone else, even if they had money, would they have the courage to invest and the ability to make money from the money?" The chubby mother saw through everything. She was an extremely clear-headed woman.
