Chapter 454: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Setting Up a Stall
Yun Jin didn't expect that she would be so popular with the Li family.
Mother Li came to see me last night, and Wang Xiaoting also came today.
Yun Jin didn't sleep well last night as He Tingchuan kept her awake most of the night. He Tingchuan went to training early in the morning, so she slept in. Xiao Nian Gao and several other children from the Gao family went out to play, and they also took Dou Bao with them, so she didn't have to worry about them.
Now that Xiaoniangao has grown up, Yunjin will no longer keep an eye on him all the time.
Here in the family compound, everyone knows each other and it is relatively safe.
Seeing Wang Xiaoting walking towards her house, she was carrying a bunch of lotus pods. It was obvious that she came prepared. "Sister-in-law, come wash up! I saw an old farmer selling fresh lotus pods. I thought you like to eat them, so I bought a bunch of fresh ones and brought them here."
"We have lotus pods at home, you can eat them yourself!" After washing her face, Yun Jin began to take care of her skin and put on makeup. Wang Xiaoting seemed not to hear Yun Jin's refusal, and just stood aside and watched her put on makeup.
She glanced at the big-name skincare products and cosmetics in Yun Jin's hands. She didn't recognize any of them. They were all in English, French, etc., and it was obvious that they were from abroad.
I was secretly shocked that they were all foreign brands. How much would that cost?
The brands Wang Xiaoting bought were all available to everyone, such as Xie Fuchun, Pechoin, and Ya Shuang.
The lipstick is also made in China.
Looking at Yun Jin's moisturizing and bright red lipstick on her lips, she felt it was better than the one she used herself.
Wang Xiaoting looked at the difference in what the two people ate, wore, and used, and she became more determined to make money.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoting praised Yun Jin: "Sister-in-law is really good at makeup. What brand of cosmetics does she use? They look very good and different from what I use."
"I bought them all in Gangcheng. If you like them, you can buy some when you go to Gangcheng in the future." Yun Jin didn't recommend any brands. Even if she told her, she wouldn't know what brand it was and didn't want to waste her time talking about it.
I also know that Wang Xiaoting is not here for the cosmetics.
Yun Jin didn't ask and just did his own thing, pretending she didn't exist.
Wang Xiaoting, who was left out in the cold, couldn't hold it in any longer and took the initiative to speak: "Sister-in-law, I heard that your disco can be turned into a chain store. What do you think about opening a disco in my hometown?"
Yun Jin asked, "Where is your hometown?"
Wang Xiaoting talked about her hometown city. Yun Jin knew that place, but its development was average. If she opened a disco now, the investment would be too huge and the payback would not be so fast. It was an 18th-tier city that Yun Jin would not consider.
But people wanted to do it, and Yun Jin said, "You can join, but I will charge a franchise fee. You also have to rent a place, decorate, and hire equipment, staff, a store manager, and water and electricity. In total, it will cost about 20,000 to open a store."
"How much?" Wang Xiaoting had saved less than 3,000 yuan in the past few years, adding up her own salary and Li Aiguo's salary. Who knew that the other party would ask for about 20,000 yuan.
"If you have the money, you can join." Yun Jin knew from her expression that Wang Xiaoting couldn't afford the money.
Wang Xiaoting had a wild idea: "Sister-in-law, can we buy it on credit?"
Yun Jin refused; "No."
Wang Xiaoting was a little unhappy: "Look, Brother Chuan and my family have such a good relationship. Considering their many years of life and death together, please lend us some money to open a store. Our current salary is not high, and it is difficult to support the family."
Yun Jin didn't care about anyone's face. "It's not that I don't want to lend you money. It's just that my money is all in the shop, and I have goods on hold. I have no money at all. You should think of other ways. If that doesn't work, wait until you have enough money."
Wang Xiaoting was unwilling to do so. After Li Aiguo came back, she whispered in his ear, forcing him to borrow money. If that didn't work, she would say, "Go find Aimei. You supported her a lot in the past. Now our family is in trouble. Ask her to lend you some money."
Li Aiguo was furious: "If you want to go, go ahead. Aimei doesn't owe me anything, and even less so, she doesn't owe you anything. If you want to open a shop, you have to find a way yourself. I won't help you borrow money. I can give you my salary, but I won't pay for anything else."
"You..." Wang Xiaoting said angrily. "Who am I doing all this for? I want everyone to have a good life and drive a car in the future. Look at your two brothers, they both have cars, but you don't. Aren't you jealous?"
Li Aiguo shook his head: "I'm not jealous. They deserve to buy cars. I'm just an ordinary person. All I can do is lead my soldiers well, complete the tasks assigned by my superiors, and support my wife and children."
"What if your wife doesn't want to just be supported by you?" Wang Xiaoting threatened.
Li Aiguo was tired. "If you want a divorce, I can file a report anytime. I won't stop you from getting rich, and don't even think about asking me to go out and make money. I don't have that ability. After the divorce, the money will be given to you, and the two children will stay."
Wang Xiaoting: “…”
Seeing that Li Aiguo didn't buy it, Wang Xiaoting couldn't make a fuss.
They had quarreled before, but Li Aiguo refused to compromise. The two children were well taken care of by him, but in the end she still had to live alone in the hospital. She found life boring, thinking that Li Aiguo was not around at all. She was afraid that after the divorce she would not be able to find a man who could give her 200 yuan a month.
After thinking about it, he asked someone to tell Li Aiguo to go and bring her back.
"Li Aiguo, you are heartless!" Wang Xiaoting tried to be tough with him, so she tried to be soft and cried that Li Aiguo had no conscience.
Li Aiguo didn't want to hear it, so he opened the door and went out to quiet down a little. He let her cry and wail. He knew that Wang Xiaoting wouldn't make a fuss when he was not around. She just wanted to make a fuss for him to see.
The next day, Wang Xiaoting went to try to get close to Mrs. Gao, thinking that she was rich and wanted to borrow as much money as she could.
When Gao Saozi heard that the opening price was five thousand yuan, she choked and said, "If it's fifty-one hundred, I can still come up with it. If it's five thousand five hundred, I really can't come up with it. I have a small business and I earn money through hard work. At the end of the day, I only make thirty to fifty yuan."
"There are so many people at home who need to eat and drink, and there are elderly people in my hometown who need to be supported. How can I lend you so much money?" Mrs. Gao refused.
When Wang Xiaoting heard that it was only fifty hundred yuan, it was just a drop in the bucket compared to twenty thousand yuan.
Wang Xiaoting didn't borrow the money she wanted, and she felt resentful towards Mrs. Gao. She looked at the guests sitting at several tables. She came back later and saw that the restaurant was full of people who came to eat barbecue.
Wang Xiaoting narrowed her eyes and went to see Sister Li the next day. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had not spoken to each other calmly for a long time.
After that day, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became very good. Within two days, Mother Li was seen setting up a barbecue stall not far from Mrs. Gao's barbecue stall.
Mother Li smiled and said, "I'm bored at home too. My two children are still young, so I figured every opportunity I could earn would be a win. If your restaurant doesn't have enough seats in the future, remember to recommend them to my place for barbecue!"
Mrs. Gao's face turned black. Isn't it too much to steal the business?
Mrs. Gao smiled with a forced smile, maintaining her outward composure. "Okay! We'll have company when we sell barbecue from now on."
Mother Li laughed and said, "That's right!"
That night, Wang Xiaoting also came to help. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were of one mind and planned to start the barbecue business.
Mother Li had sold barbecue with Yun Jin and the others before, so she knew what was going on. The barbecue ingredients just didn't taste that good. Anyway, they were still able to serve a few tables of customers on the first and second days.
The line at Mrs. Gao's place was too long and others couldn't wait. When they heard that a new store had opened and was giving away three skewers of grilled leeks, they came to try it out, hoping to get a bargain.
Although the taste is average, it is not inedible.
In this way, Mother Li and Wang Xiaoting can earn three to five yuan every night from their barbecue stall, and sometimes more than ten yuan.
Unlike Gao's wife, Li's mother comforted Wang Xiaoting: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Nian Gao always said before that business is built through perseverance. Slowly, we will have more and more customers."
Wang Xiaoting: “…”
If I only earn three or five yuan at a time, how long will it take to save up 20,000 yuan?
