BTTS 332




 Chapter 332. Developing in the city


If it was for those who freely resell, this money wasn't much. For Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai, this profiteering was a part-time job.

Come out and earn a sum of money was enough. So they didn't make a lot of money, but it was also not small. Just treat it as unexpected wealth and don't need to mind anything else.

But for now, the saving in Lin Qing He's space was nearly 70,000.

In this era of 10,000-yuan households, this was naturally a prosperous family.

"When we're back, you have to inquire carefully." Lin Qing He instructed. Her dream courtyard dwelling in the capital ah!

So far, they owned two shops and one house, and one apartment. Even though the apartment was assigned by the school, it still didn't belong to them.

Because they only got the right to residence, not the right to buy and sell.

In fact, they can continue to buy other shops and houses, but Lin Qing He had an obsession for a courtyard dwelling.

There were already two shops and one house with a garden. For now, they got enough security. It was almost enough.

So buying her courtyard dwelling was on priority.

Don't assume the courtyard dwelling would be a lot cheaper now. It was still expensive,

Lin Qing He had inquired with the Housing Management Bureau. Single yard one, it was achievable, but it still cost more than 10,000. The specifics weren't clear. It depended on the location and the time it was built.

And if it were double yard. The staff of the Housing Management Bureau told her after receiving a packet of candies that it was basically 50,000 yuan minimum.

Lin Qing He didn't have such a big appetite. She dared not think about triple, quadruple, or even quintuple which was Mother Jia lived in The Dream of Red Mansions.

She can still aim for a double.

So even when she had savings of nearly 70,000 yuan, Lin Qing He still didn't dare to spend this money. After all, courtyard dwelling wasn't cheap.

A few days later, they arrived in the municipal city. After resting in the municipal city for a night, the couple caught a bus back to the city.

First, they dropped by Zhou Xiao Mei and Su Da Lin's place.

It was August now. Su Da lin had already resigned.

Truthfully, regarding his resignation to go to the capital to develop, his uncle and aunt disagree.

Although they said they were going to open a steamed bun shop in the capital and that business won't do badly, they still felt it was unreliable as they had never done business before.

If he didn't want to continue a job with such a high salary, what was he going to do?

It was said that the factory was going to go bankrupt. Such a big factory, how can it go bankrupt that easily.

Still, Su Da Lin had already decided.

This was how Su Da Lin was. Either he decided not to, but if he decided to, he will not change his mind.

They plan to go to the capital this month. This was the time. Many things were packed.

Quilts and the likes were already brought over by Zhou Xuan and Zhou Yang last time. It was a lot of luggage.

They were currently waiting.

When Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai arrived at the county city, they did not rush to find Su Da Lin and Zhou Xiao Mei.

They took out the bicycle from the space and the couple went to Third Brother Lin's shop.

Third Brother Lin's shop had officially opened this year.

The things that were sold couldn't be any simpler. When they came, they saw that the goods in the shop were basically sold out. There was only a few feathers left.

It was Third Sister-in-law Lin and the children who watch the shop.

Seeing Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai coming over, Third Sister-in-law Lin was taken aback for a moment. Then she immediately shouted toward the inside: "Da Ya's father, Third Sister and Third Brother-in-law are back."

Shortly after Third Brother Lin came out from inside. His eyes were still bloodshot. It was apparent that he was sleeping just now.

"Why are you that exhausted?" Lin Qing He was shocked at the sight of Third Brother Lin's appearance.

"Not tired. Sister, Brother-in-law, sit down quickly." Third Brother Lin grabbed a bench for them and told his daughter to pour water.

"No need to pour water. We just drank. We will sit for a while and then leave. Just came to see you." Lin Qing He said.

She took two packets of candies out of the bag in her hand and gave it to Third Sister-in-law Lin. She spoke, "For the children."

"There's no need to bring this over," said Third Sister-in-law.

"How is the business now?" Lin Qing He didn't say anything and turned to ask Third Brother Lin.

In response, Third Brother let out a big smile: "Sister, fortunately, I listened to you. This year I picked up the courage to come over and open this shop."

Originally, his wife didn't come here. But the business in the shop was really good. Basically, his cartful of goods in the morning were all sold out in a short amount of time.

Those weren't valuable in the country. What was the value of cucumbers, leek, and cabbage? Neighbors gifted them to each other.

But it was different when one brings it to the city. Every green onion was money. Of course, one didn't pay much mind to it. It was just that a way of speaking.

Just a cart of fruits and vegetables. Though it had a very thin margin, but when added up, Third brother Lin can make almost five yuan with just one cart.

What did this indicate?

This meant that if one did this for a month, they can earn almost 150 yuan.

And this was only mornings. But what if he goes collect some eggs and sell them in the afternoon?

Calculating one day, seven yuan was a safe estimate. So it'll be more than two hundred yuan a month!

So after the summer harvest this time, Third Sister-in-law Lin couldn't sit still at home. The whole family moved to the city.

In Linjia Village, it caused quite a stir.

This Third Lin moved directly to the city to do business. Must have developed well.

There were some who sang the reverse. Not properly working in the field and go mess around by selling. If this was to be severely cracked in the future, will they have any good result?

In any case, Third Brother Lin's business was flourishing.

But it was too exhausting.

In the morning, he loaded a truckload of goods back. He made another trip for eggs and live chicken in the afternoon. On such a long road, how can he not be tired when pedaling with his two legs?

But no matter how tired, Third Brother Lin was happy and full of energy.

He took out the hundreds of yuans he owed his sister and paid it back. Third Brother Lin felt relieved.

He wasn't a man who want to owe money to people.

"This year I asked around for you. The motorcycle over there is for 700 or so yuan. I will buy one for you when the time comes." Lin Qing He brought up.

The corner of Third Brother Lin's mouth twitched: "Sister, is there a need?"

More than 700 yuan. That was almost caught up with the cost of the shop.

"Are you stupid? Even if you wear yourself down to the bone, how many things can you bring back in a day if you rely on your two legs alone?  If you buy a motorcycle, you can transport more things then. How much more can these things make? Not only does it save you energy, but it also makes you more money. Even if it costs more than 700, you can make the money back in a few months at the soonest." Lin Qing He explained.

      1. The daughter they leached on became farther away and way more prosperous and the least favored son became a local rich man. They would prob spit blood if they knew. On the other hand, does anyone remember where they are?

      2. Last we heard they got the sh*t scared out of them when MC's MIL roused up a gang to beat up the in-laws that one time.

        They're dumb as rock country bumpkins who normally might have the nerve to go ask for stuff from MC or Third Brother Lin, but the fact that the Zhou family is strong enough to raise up an entire gang to beat up the in-laws scared them straight (at least for now).

    4. Ой, да. Родители Линь и другие братья могут прийти за "своей долей". Но кто позволит им буянить в городе?
