Chapter 143 New Business
Chapter 143 New Business
So what if the house is demolished? You have the life to get the money but not the life to spend it. The saddest thing in this world is to squander and give away your things to others bit by bit.
It is both funny and stupid that a person like my mother-in-law, who usually haggles over every penny when buying a bag of salt, can be so generous and spend money lavishly at the card table.
In my memory of my previous life, this family lived a comfortable life for a few days, but later on, as a person who is addicted to gambling, his ending was naturally the most miserable.
It is a wise move for Jiang Shuya to leave them at this time not only to keep her own property, but also to provide Tangtang with the most solid support in the future.
Jiang Shuya did not take Tangtang with her because she still had a lot of things to do and her financial situation did not allow it. She would have to find a place to stay and it would be inconvenient to take her with her.
She doesn't have much money to hire a nanny to take care of her, so letting her stay with Huang Minghao temporarily is the best option. After all, she has to come back to negotiate the agreement with Huang Minghao.
After leaving Xixia Village, she sat on the bus and received various New Year greetings on her phone, including one from Lin Moxiao, which was a simple phrase;
"Xiaoya, Happy New Year, may all your wishes come true, waiting for you." What was this message hinting at? Jiang Shuya frowned, feeling uneasy, looking out the window at the quiet street, silent for a long time.
This was the message Lin Moxiao sent at a scheduled time before boarding the plane. Seeing this message, Jiang Shuya felt inexplicably flustered. She closed her eyes like a child who had done something wrong.
After a long time, she decisively blocked Lin Moxiao's number. That dark night was an unforgettable memory for her. If this continued, it would be easy for her to fall into the quagmire again. She made up her mind that she would never see this person again.
He was a madman whom she couldn't afford to offend. The further away she was from such a madman, the more at ease she would feel. The only pity was that she couldn't be friends with him anymore.
After arriving at Lotus New City, Jiang Shuya contacted Jiang Shuhuai. From the last meeting with Shuting, she learned that her brother Shuhuai lived in the new city apartment.
Li Dalan and Jiang Donglai moved from their original site, and their packing station moved to the factory building under Xishan Bridge. The place is very large and has several rooms and equipment for living.
His father and mother also moved there. The only bad thing about the place was that it was too noisy. Li Dalan was afraid that Jiang Shuhuai would not be able to sleep well and study peacefully, so she rented him a single room so that he could live there on weekends.
Jiang Shuya, who was standing at the door waiting, saw Shuhuai running over in a hurry;
"Sister, what are you doing here during the Chinese New Year?"
Jiang Shuya rolled her eyes at him and threw the canvas bag in her hand at Jiang Shuhuai;
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me which floor you live on."
Jiang Shuhuai, who was sweating profusely from running, took the bag, walked in front to lead the way, took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, and the two of them arrived at the 26th floor in a short while.
I opened the door and entered the room, walked in to take a closer look. The space was not big, with a living room, a master bedroom, a kitchen, and a separate bathroom. It was fairly clean and the facilities were barely complete.
Jiang Shuhuai stood in front of the table in the living room, adjusted the frame of his mirror, and stared blankly at Jiang Shuya as she scanned the area. She walked out of the bedroom and touched the sofa in the living room.
"Well, the length is enough and the cushion is quite soft."
He pointed to the sofa.
''Do you have a four-piece set and a quilt?''
Jiang Shuhuai nodded.
"Take it out. I'm going to remake the bed in the bedroom. You sleep on the sofa tonight and I'll sleep in the master bedroom."
"Ah, sister, you're not going home. You had a fight with your brother-in-law." Jiang Shuhuai asked
Jiang Shuya did not answer directly, but asked;
"Stop talking nonsense and do what I say. Also, I remember you worked part-time during the winter vacation. Where are you working part-time now?"
Jiang Shuhuai said honestly;
''McDonald's.''
Jiang Shuya looked at this nerdy brother and really wanted to give him a good beating. She felt that he had no personality, was not fun, and was not cheerful. Apart from studying, he did hard labor for Li Dalan like the workers at home. He only knew how to bury his head in work, was not active, and was dull. Fortunately, he looked a bit like her.
The young man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his face shape is exactly the same as Jiang Shuya's. He is just exposed to the sun all day long, and now he is so tanned that there is no way he can get back to his original color.
"How much does McDonald's pay you in a day?" Jiang Shuya took out a quilt from the cupboard and said as she sorted it out.
18 yuan an hour, work 8 hours. Jiang Shuhuai replied.
Jiang Shuya shook her head and sighed;
"Go tomorrow and quit your part-time job. I'll help you make money. There's not much work for my parents during the New Year, so just stay with me for a while!"
Jiang Shuhuai was a little surprised. "What are you doing?"
Jiang Shuya didn't keep the secret, she tidied the bed sheets, spread the quilt, and said;
"Uncle San sells small commodities wholesale. Tomorrow we will go get some from him and set up a stall on Fenghuang West Street to sell rings. What do you think?"
Jiang Shuhuai, who was putting on the quilt, scratched his head, looking embarrassed;
"I'm not good at that, so I'll just do my part-time job!"
Jiang Shuya heard this and knocked on his head;
"What are you talking about? This is much better than your part-time job. You just need to shout a few words and set the rules of the game. If you do well, you can do a part-time job for a few days. Otherwise, we will only set up a stall on the first day, and you will learn from me. In the next few days, you will work alone. If you are not so good, you can help me."
Jiang Shuhuai nodded helplessly. From childhood to adulthood, he only revolved around this older sister, always obeyed her and never expressed his own opinions. Even Jiang Shuting felt that this younger brother had no personality and relied on his mother for everything and paved the way for him.
Even the major I chose in college was according to my father's wishes. I really don't know what his temper is.
At this time, Jiang Shuhuai's phone rang. It turned out that Li Dalan called him to the venue for New Year's Eve dinner. Jiang Shuya made a gesture, indicating that he should not tell Li Dalan that he was here.
"Sister, are you really not going?" Jiang Shuhuai turned back as he walked away.
"No, I don't want to upset her. When you come back, bring me a pack of instant noodles so I can just eat a little." Jiang Shuya continued to tidy up while waving her hand.
Jiang Shuhuai hummed and walked out.
Without the disturbance of worldly affairs, she went to bed especially early tonight. When Jiang Shuhuai came back, he was holding a take-away box in his hand. Seeing Jiang Shuya sleeping soundly, he gently closed the door, put the food he brought into the refrigerator, lay down on the sofa that Jiang Shuya had prepared for her, picked up his mobile phone and started playing games.
The next morning, the two got up one after the other. Jiang Shuhuai prepared breakfast and after eating, he began to contact his third uncle Jiang Dongming. They took a different bus and came to the Sanjiang Wholesale Market, where they found their third uncle.
He said New Year greetings to his smiling uncle, stood in front of his stall for a while, and then followed him all the way to the designated small commodity warehouse, where Lin Liang was dazzled by the variety of toys, small commodities, and daily necessities.
