Chapter 485. Monthly income over a thousand
It took her so much effort to bring him to the capital and got Zhao Family give a valuable job. Now he lost it himself. How can she not be mad?
With this habit of beating people at every turn, how could she possibly let her brother to go to the clothing store and watch the shop. If he hit someone, then can she still do business?
If the reputation was bad, then don't think about doing business.
What's more, the clothing store was her only source of income. The business was very good. She can receive 200 yuan a month.
"Sister, are you going to chase me out now?" Xu Sheng Qiang was infuriated when he heard that she was unwilling to let him go to the clothing store.
"Zhang Mei Lian is watching the clothing store. I would go there from time to time. Certainly, no shortage of people. If you want to stay in the capital. You can go out and set up a stall by yourself. I think the stall is quite profitable. After the deducting the cost of the goods from our clothing store, the rest of the money will be given to you." Xu Sheng Mei stated.
She really didn't want her brother to go to her own clothing store. This was her last confidence now. She got income every month, which gave her a feeling of security.
Xu Sheng Qiang was dissatisfied: "You want me to go out to set up a street stall? How much money can those hawkers make!"
Hawking wasn't respectable at all. Worst than being a self-employed person.
"I don’t know how much money it make. However, the clothes business in my shop is excellent. It can make a lot of money in a month. One piece's profit is a yuan. You don't have to sell a lot. As long as you can sell two or three piece, it'll be a lot more money than going to work.” Xu Sheng Mei persuaded.
Xu Sheng Qiang wasn't willing: "If it is so profitable, why don't you set up a stall by yourself?"
Xu Sheng Mei also found it embarrassing: "Don't I have a shop? I also have to help Zhao Family with chores. Do you think I'm so idle? When you have the capability, you should go and open a shop yourself. Then there is no need to set up a stall."
Xu Sheng Qiang was extremely unwilling. But no matter how unwilling he was, it can't be helped. Without the job at Zhao family's, what to do if he can't find something to do?
So he went over to the clothing store.
"This is your brother? He's very handsome." Zhang Mei Lian, who was dressed in a particularly trendy fashion and was born quite pretty, greeted with a smile.
Xu Sheng Qiang froze when he saw her and immediately asked, "Sister, who is this?"
"Zhang Mei Lian, my partner." Xu Sheng Mei introduced.
"Alright. I will come here to get the goods for hawking in the future!" Xu Shen Qiang stated.
Pleased, Xu Sheng Mei nodded. As long as he worked hard, he wouldn't do badly.
As for her uncle who looked down on them, she would let them see when the time came. They would be able to flourish in this capital city without relying on others!
As the old saying goes, month is afraid of the fifteenth, the year afraid of autumn. Once the Mid-Autumn Festival was over, the weather became a bit cold.
Lin Qing He recently ordered a new batch of autumn clothes. There were puffer jacket after this batch of autumn clothes.
This so-called puffer jacket was a down and feather jacket. Not the same as the down and feather jackets of later generations. At this time, because of some technical shortcomings, the down and feather jackets were bloated and looked very bulky. So many people gave it a visual name puffer jacket.
Puffer jacket were very popular. Lin Qing He liked to wear them. As for the bloat, it was a little bloated. But it was especially warm. It was necessary to prepare for this winter."The days are getting better and better now." Lin Qing He had nothing to do. She laid on the bed in relaxation and said to her Qing Bai who was calculating the dumpling shop's account at home.
Zhou Qing Bai looked at her and said: "Tomorrow is a day off, go to the hot springs?"
"Go with who?" Lin Qin He asked.
"Just the two of us." Zhou Qing Bai didn't want other people to disturb their rare two-person world.
Lin Qing He glanced at him, raised her eyebrows and said, "Alright then. We'll go tomorrow. There are other scenery over there. Let's go and play together."
Zhou Qing Bai nodded in response. He finished with the dumpling shop's account for this month and went out to find Third.
Zhou Gui Lai had originally planned to go out to play on his day off. He bought a lot of new film and planned to go to the Forbidden City.
"Dad, I already made an appointment with God-grandfather. Ask my second brother. He will have nothing to do." Zhou Gui Lai said.
"Second, I'll leave it to you. I will probably go out with your mother for a few days." Zhou Qing Bai turned to Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan said: "Then my vacation is over..."
He also wanted to go to explore. He didn't want to cook dumplings in the dumpling shop.
"It's settled like this." Zhou Qing Bai paid him no heed and directly made the decision. Then he went back to the room to report to his wife.
"I heard that a new community has been built in Beicheng. It is very beautiful." Lin Qing He watched him come in and mentioned.
"Can't buy it." Zhou Qing Bai had heard about it from Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan's family got a suite in that community. It was quite open and bright. But it had nothing to do with others. It was allocated and cannot be bought.
Lin Qing He didn't say anything. She wasn't in a rush. Once there are commercial houses in the future, she would buy it at that time. She planned to buy more plots of land.
It didn't need to be too big. Just enough for her to build up a few buildings and wait to rent it out.
But currently, it wasn't possible. At the moment, land was still not available for purchase. One have to see later. Then they can buy it when it's possible to buy. With money in hand, they can buy it whenever they want.
"How much money did our family make this month?" Lin Qing He asked.
"Ten thousand." Zhou Qing Bai answered.
So far, the family’s monthly income was this number. In fact, it was a bit more than this number. Among them, his dumpling shop had the lowest income. Which was incomparable to other shops opened by his wife.
However, Zhou Qing Bai didn't care. He was busy with something every day. His life was very fulfilling.
Of course, it was great to go out and relax occasionally like this.
So, the couple drove out by themselves the next day.
Zhou Gui Lai went to find his god-grandfather. Originally, he had looked for Father Zhou, but Father Zhou didn't want to go. He wanted to go to the park to play chess with other people.
So he left Father Zhou be. Zhou Gui Lai took old Wang out to play.
The dumpling shop was naturally handed over to Zhou Xuan.
"Where did Qing Bai and Teacher Lin go?" Aunt Ma came to work and saw Zhou Xuan working away. She was surprised.
"Went to travel." Zhou Xuan answered as he quickly cooked the dumplings.
Toward his parents, he had admiration. Not only was the relationship extremely good, but at such an old age, they were like fresh couple. Sometimes he can see them holding hands. Then they want to go out and play every so often. It was no longer surprising.
After hearing this, Aunt Ma praised their good feelings. It was good feelings, no? She had never seen the two of them get angry with each other.
Thanks for the update.

I've been binge reading this novel for the last 2-3 days. So sad that I'm all caught up now, but really looking forward for the next chapters. :) Thank you for the translation!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter.
ReplyDeletepoor xuan! gentle baby just want to live his scholarly lord dreams. glad that he is a good sport though. original lqh really fucked them up to make the three lovely boys into villains. love that the novel really makes it clear that being good or evil is just based on nurture rather than nature.
ReplyDeleteIt’s always weird to read them call the main couple old, when they’re what late 30’s and early 40’s only. Not even middle aged yet.
ReplyDeleteLife expectancy back then was like 40-50 yrs. China was dirt poor back then, after all the exploitation from the Opium wars, then Japan invasion in WWII, then all the mismanagement from the KMT, civil war, then cultural revolution and the great leap forward.
