Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich - Chapter 119: Dad, I Want Dried Persimmon
Chapter 119: Dad, I Want Dried Persimmon
“It’s cold now. Once it warms up, I’ll save some money to buy it for the shop.” Ji Jianyun listened to what Su Jindang said and it was obvious that had a plan in mind.
Ji Jianyun said nothing more.
Next, he and Su Jindang made three more trips here. Each time, the truck was packed full and they basically sold out everything they could sell.
Originally, Ji Jianyun was going to pay Su Jindang. After all, Su Jindang not only helped him out of loyalty, but also out of kindness. This could only happen by not working at the shop to help him. Even with the money, he had to remember this kindness.
There were not that many people that he knew he could rely on. Lao Qin was one. But now that he had a truck, there was no need for Lao Qin to come all the way here. Although they were not related by blood, they were still as close as real ones. This kind of thing needs a distinction, right?
His actual blood related brothers were already jealous. If Ji Jianyun took them back to the market, wouldn’t they be extremely jealous?
Therefore, Ji Jianyun did not like to deal with his two brothers. Instead, he went to his brother-in-law, Su Jindang.
Although Su Jindang would need to work things out to keep the shop running, as long as the things were received in advance, it was not going to be a problem. If he had to do a little more work in the evening and have Mother Su come to help, there would basically be no problems.
Moreover, Su Jindang knew that Jianyun, as his brother-in-law, would ask him to come instead of his own brother. It showed that in Jianyun’s mind, they were closer as brothers-in-law. Thus, Su Jindang naturally wanted to help. And to tell the truth, he appreciated seeing the college town and how life was over there.
As for the 30 yuan payment for working, he didn’t take it. He wouldn’t be rich if he had an extra 30 yuan, and he wouldn’t be poor without 30 yuan. And if Jianyun wanted him to pay him, he wouldn’t like it.
If he asked Ji Jianyun for help in the future, would he need to pay him? Helping Ji Jianyun only took a few days anyways. He still wanted to borrow some money to buy the shop, so would he want interest added on to the loan from Ji Jianyun’s family?
Hearing what he said about the shop, Ji Jianyun stopped being polite to him and said, “Tonight, you can go back and figure out how much is still needed. If it isn’t much, we will ask the owner to come over tomorrow. It is better to buy out the place earlier.”
“Okay.” Su Jindang went back.
When he came back, Mother Su stopped living there and asked him to drive her back that same day.
Although it was only a rickshaw, it made a bunch of old ladies in the village envy her.
When Su Jindang came back, the front of the shop was almost done being cleared out. Then, the couple began to think about their family’s situation.
Second Su sister-in-law listened to how her man didn’t take the money for the hard work, and didn’t say anything.
Now that the business was entirely owned by her family, Ji Jianyun proposed that they should work out a wholesale price later. The couple knew that he meant well, so they agreed with it.
And if it hadn’t been for her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, how would she be living her life now?
Second Su sister-in-law had an understanding about these things. This kind of kindness could not compare to 30 yuan. They held her family so much. If they took this money, how much would they regret it?
When the couple added up their own wealth, they had more than 1,300 yuan!
The couple looked at each other, and their eyes were bright. How long has it been since they came into the town to do business? To their surprise, they had more than 1,300 yuan saved up.
This was pure leftover saved money that was not a part of their usual expenses!
They had more than 20 yuan in the cupboard, but that was intended for emergencies, and was not touched.
“Jianyun said it would be better if we bought the shop as soon as possible. Otherwise, there might be big changes in the future,” Su Jindang explained.
“We’re still short at 1,200 yuan. Go and tell sister-in-law that we can save this money and pay her back next year. Sister-in-law can trust us!” Second Su sister-in-law said.
She really liked this familya lot. She had no plans to move, and she wanted to stay here in the future!
They had their business at the front and lived in the back. It was an ideal place to live.
“Okay, I’ll talk to Jianyun tomorrow,” Su Jindang agreed.
He went to talk to Ji Jianyun. Even though he could go talk to his sister, he couldn’t always ask his sister for help. He had a very good relationship with Jianyun and he was also very transparent. Ji Jianyun could give him the amount he was missing!
Ji Jianyun was so elated that he gave him the money and asked him if he wanted to go together for the ownership transfer. Su Jindang was familiar with the process for it, so it was not necessary.
He got in touch with the owner of the place. The owner was a fair man. He said at the beginning of the year that it was 2,500 yuan, and did not raise the price. Thus, they made a deal. The transfer of ownership and everything was done at the bureau on the same day. What was written on the property deed were Su Jindang and second Su sister-in-law’s names!
Yes, Su Jindang specially added second Su sister-in-law’s name, Li Juzi.
While second Su sister-in-law held the actual deed, she wiped her tears. When her one-year-old son saw her crying, he crawled over to wipe her tears with anxiety in his eyes.
Second Su sister-in-law picked up her son, who didn’t understand what was going on, and cried tears of joy, “Shitao, don’t worry. Mom is happy. Mom is living her best life. Mom will remember the kindness of your aunt for the rest of her life!”
She thought about the past. Now that she and Su Jindang had bought a place in town, she was going to be a person from the town. She has a home, a son, and a hardworking husband like Su Jindang. What else could she ask for?
She knew very well that all of this was given to her by her sister-in-law. Otherwise, she would not know what her life would have been like.
When Su Jindang saw his wife go into the house to hide and cry, he was a little worried at first. After sneaking in and following her, he heard what his wife said and immediately laughed. He shook his head, and went out to manage the business again.
Although the home was bought, they owed a lot of money. They didn’t have much left, so things were going to be tight.
But fortunately, business everyday was very stable. They were approaching the end of the year, when business would get better. Every household must prepare for a good New Year celebration, so business was excellent.
If they worked hard at this time, then they would be able to relax at home at the beginning of next spring.
On the other hand, Ji Jianyun was becoming busy again. This time he made a lot of money and it all came from meat. It was the end of the year, and he could sell it at a high price. He earned more than 900 yuan in a few days, but he also made a loan and increased the price by a little bit.
He was not worried about it. The only thing he is worried about is his wife. His wife was very pregnant and her belly seemed to have blown up. He was a little frightened when he watched her do things every day, so he took care of it instead. His only demand for his wife was for her to take care of herself, which was not a problem.
As for Renren and Yan’er, there was no need for her to take care of them.
“Dad, I want dried persimmon.”
Yan’er could speak clearly and fluently now. Also, she was chubby because the food at her third uncle’s place was good. Su Danhong was very affectionate and raised her like she was her own daughter. She dressed her in a foreign style, which was essentially different from other little girls in the village.
