BTTS 382




 Chapter 382. Not expensive


Lin Qing He just looked at her Qing Bai. He used to be particularly staid. Although he still was, he was already very flexible.

Especially when it came to doing business, he can do a lot of things without her.

Lin Qing He leaned into his arms. Zhou Qing Bai looked around. Making sure there was no one in the carriage, he took his wife in his embrace.

Noting his small movements, Lin Qing He laughed and said, "We are a husband and wife, what are you afraid of?"

"Not good influence." Zhou Qing Bai responded.

En, the influence wasn't good.  Then who was it that was holding her waist now? And who was it who won't stop at or at the guest house?

After riding the train for a few days, they arrived in the municipal city. It was late, so they stayed in a guest house in the municipal city for one night.

When they got off the train, it couldn't be any more comfortable. There was a place to sleep with their own bedsheets and own quilt.

They can rest on the train, but it wasn't as good as a bed.

The two slept soundly. It was after ten o'clock the next day when they ate a meal and caught a ride over to the county city.

When they arrived at the county city, the two of them came to the outskirts to take the motorcycle out. Then they rode the motorcycle and brought a big barrel of gasoline to Third Brother Lin's shop.

It was currently noon, Third Brother Lin's whole family was at home.

They were having lunch in the shop when they heard the motorcycle's sound. Then his sister and his brother-in-law's arrival entered their sight.

Zhou Qing Bai knew how to ride a motorcycle. His wife taught him. It wasn't difficult. He can grasp it in a short time.

"Sister, Brother-in-law, have you eaten yet? Come, let's eat together." Third Brother Lin said at once.

"No need. We came here after eating." Lin Qing He replied.

"Third Sister, come and have a bowl of soup? This is the freshest loofah gourd soup. Taste the best." Third Sister-in-law Lin chipped in immediately.

"No. You guys drink it." Lin Qing He smiled.

Zhou Qing Bai had already moved down a big barrel of gasoline. This barrel of gasoline should last six or seven days.

"Go to eat first. After eating, come over and see if you are satisfied." Lin Qing He urged her third brother.

Third Brother Lin hurriedly scooped up the rice in the bowl and then went out to look at the motorcycle with some excitement.

"This motorcycle isn't bad, right?" Lin Qing He said with a grin seeing him like that.

"En,can't get any better!" Third Brother Lin couldn't help but utter. with a little embarrassment: "I don't know if I can grasp it?"

"What's there not grasp? Let your brother-in-law take you for a try. It's not difficult. I can drive it and rode it all the way back," Lin Qing He said.

Zhou Qing Bai went to teach Third Brother Lin to ride a motorcycle.

Because he knew how to drive a car, it was very easy to catch on with this motorcycle. While Third Brother Lin obviously needed more practice. Still, it wasn't difficult. There were only a few gears, clutch, and brake. The rest wasn't much different from bicycles. 

Lin Qing He took out two packets of candies and two boxes of desserts from her bundle and told her niece, "Take and share them."

"Thank you, Third Aunt." Eldest Niece curled her lips into a smile.

In a blink of an eye, she became a big girl and a good hand in and out of home.

"No need to especially bring these back every year." Third Sister-in-law Lin uttered with a smile.

"How is the business this year? Is there growth compared to last year?" Lin Qing He asked.

"Yes, business is much better than last year." Third Sister-in-law Lin displayed a sincere smile on her face.

Originally, last year's business was pretty good. This year's business was thirty percent better than last year. Every morning, her man went to the countryside to collect fruits and vegetables before dawn.

Then he came back on the bicycle and sell it in the shop.

Afterward, he headed out again in the afternoon. It was to collect some live chickens and some eggs for sale.

Third Brother Lin had to go back and forth to the countryside four times a day. It was indeed profitable. They can make almost 500 yuan a month, which was not unreasonable.

It truly drained one's energy. Going to the countryside from the city was a good bit of distance.

It was like this every day. So even when Third Sister-in-law Lin knew that this motorcycle was definitely not cheap, she felt that she have to grit her teeth and buy it.

At least in the future, her man will be able to relax a lot more, right?

"Third Sister, how much does this motorcycle cost?" asked Third Sister-in-law Lin.

"Seven hundred and seventy." Lin Qing He stated.

This was the original price. She didn't earn any difference. Neither did, she deliberately reduce the price. That would be unnecessary.

The price was certainly quite expensive. After all, their family's shop was bought for how much at that time?

"I'll get it to pay to Third Sister." Still, Third Sister-in-law Lin did not hesitate at all.

"What the rush?" Lin Qing He smiled: "Now that the business has expanded, would I worry that you won't be able to pay me."

Third Sister-in-law Lin smiled, but still went in and took the money out.

700 or so yuan was given. Not a dime less. It can be seen that the couple really made money this year.

Lin Qing He checked right there and then. After making sure that there was nothing wrong, she put it in the bundle.

"If you make money, you don't have to squeeze in here. See if there are any spacious houses nearby and buy one. The whole family moves over and it'll be much more spacious." Lin Qinghe said.

"It's not cheap." Third Sister-in-law Lin hesitated.

"Have you checked it? What's the price?" Lin Qinghe also asked.

"He went to look at the apartment. It's not very spacious and cost 1,000. The apartment building is a bit crowded. It's quite close, just across the street in front," answered Third Sister-in-law Lin.

"Didn't buy it?" Lin Qing He asked.

"The price is eighteen hundred. Not a penny less. It's too expensive." Third Sister-in-law Lin shook her head.

Even when her shop can make more than 500 yuan a month, the asking price of eighteen hundred for a house in the city was too expensive.

In the countryside, one can build a very spacious brick house for one thousand. Not too crowded for a large family!

Therefore, Third Sister-in-law Lin felt eighteen hundred was too expensive.

"Do you know how much it cost for the shop I bought in the capital?" Lin Qing He said to her.

"How much?" responded Third Sister-in-law Lin.

She wanted to hear matters in the capital.

"That dumpling shop of Qing Bai cost four thousand when we bought it even though it was a duplex. The family was emptied." Lin Qing He said.

"Four...four thousand yuan?" Third Sister-in-law Lin gasped and stared wide.

"This was due to buying it early. Do you think that a shop in the capital is expensive at four thousand yuan? It's not unusual. My sister-in-law is doing business over there and the shop she bought cost forty-seven hundred in order to successfully own it." Lin Qing He spoke.
