Chapter 158 – Decided

When the father and son came back, it was evening.

Because they came back this late, Mother Ji had told her elder sisters that the market was not good now, and things were not easy to sell. Today, they brought a lot of things to sell, but they came back so late, so she didn’t know whether they sold everything.

They made a trip to the college town, but fuel cost a lot of money. How much would the total trip cost?

It was not until Ji Jianyun came back with his father that Mother Ji was relieved. When they returned home, she asked, “How was it? Did you buy the shop?”

“He did buy it, but it’s very expensive,” Father Ji replied with a frown.

“How much?” Mother Ji asked.

“5,000,” Father Ji said.

Mother Ji’s eyes widened. “5,000? What shop is so expensive?”

She knew that the shops in the college town were expensive, but even if it was expensive, shouldn’t 4,000 yuan be enough?

When Jianwen bought that place in Jiangshui City, how much did it cost? A shop was more expensive than Jianwen’s apartment?

“Mother, that shop is about 160 square meters, it is not expensive,” Ji Jianyun said helplessly.

“5,000 yuan is not expensive? When you think you’re not getting a good deal, didn’t you bargain with him?” Mother Ji asked a series of questions.

Ji Jianyun smiled and said, “Mother, you didn’t see that shop is located. It’s very close to the market, so that’s why the price is really high. And right now it should cost more than 5,000 yuan. I think the market area will grow.”

Mother Ji was still very distressed. 5,000 yuan was not a small amount. Even if she earned that amount of money during the last two years, she still thought that 5,000 yuan was expensive.

Ordinary people could not save this much money in their lifetime. They spent all their money in one shop, so was this shop made of gold?

Ji Jianyun looked at her mother’s stressed out appearance, so he had to ask for help and look to his wife. Only when his wife said something, did his mother believe it.

Su Danhong smiled and said to Mother Ji, “Mother, don’t worry. The shop Jianyun bought is excellent. It will definitely be profitable.”

Hearing this, Mother Ji hurriedly asked, “You really won’t lose money? This is your hard-earned money.”

“We won’t lose money.” Su Danhong nodded.

Since ancient times, buying a shop near the market would logically make more money. There would be no loss, unless the market was about to die off. However, she believed in Jianyun’s opinion. If he decided on it, then the shop must be good.

“That’s good, that’s good.” As expected, Mother Ji became relieved.

“Mother, I will need to drive to the college town almost every day to earn money,” Ji Jianyun said.

Father Ji and Mother Ji didn’t mind. As long as they could help him, they would. At all other times, they didn’t interfere with what their son wanted.

“Wife, please go to sister He’s house tomorrow. In a few days, my father and I will make a trip there again, and she should come with us, Ji Jianyun said.

“Okay.” Su Danhong nodded.

After that, Su Danhong started to cook dinner. After a busy day, her husband had to be nourished.

Ji Jianyun was happy with the big bone soup, stir-fried meat with green pepper, scrambled eggs and vegetables.

“Wife, there is another place next to the shop, which looks pretty good to me,” Ji Jianyun said when he was full.

Su Danhong heard him and knew what he was thinking. She smiled and asked, “Do you want to buy it as well?”

“If we can buy that shop, we should, but we don’t have much money left at home,” Ji Jianyun said.

This time he had taken out 5,000 yuan. The cost to decorate was not much, but it took some money.

“How big is that shop?” Su Danhong asked.

“The shop is not very big, but if it is connected, it will be bigger. Just look at the department stores in our town,” Ji Jianyun said.

“Do you want to run a big supermarket?”” Su Danhong looked at him.

“I’m thinking about it.” Ji Jianyun smiled.

“Then you should buy all that land. If you want one, you need a lot of land,” Su Danhong said.

Ji Jianyun nodded, “I’ll do it slowly.”

A person did not become fat with one mouthful of food. These things shouldn’t be done quickly. Even if it was urgent, a plan was needed and they didn’t have much money left.

Fortunately, the mountain provided a steady harvest. Lao Qin also came to pay them back, which was several hundred yuan. Su Jindang also took six hundred yuan. Su Danhong estimated that they would be paid back by the end of this year.

Her second brother was working very hard. Second Su sister-in-law was also good at doing business. She was naturally talented. Couples saved their money since they didn’t like owing anyone money. They were eager to pay off their debts.

However, even with what they earned, it was not enough yet. Su Danhong didn’t mind about these things and wasn’t bothered.

Ji Jianyun went to the mountain the next day to do some work. He took Renren with him. Su Danhong took Qiqi to town to find sister He.

“Danhong.” Seeing her coming, sister He hurriedly welcomed her in.

“Sister He, you can start packing. Jianyun’s shop has been bought and you will go with him there the day after tomorrow,” Su Danhong said.

“So fast?” sister He asked in surprise.

She thought that it would take a while.

“Is it inconvenient for sister He inconvenient?” Su Danhong.

It should naturally be fast. The chickens on the mountain had grown, and laid a lot of eggs. The rest needed to be sold. Only her second brother shop in the town and Lao Qin’s shop in the county town, and occasionally, some other vendors would come to get some products. However, they did not take a lot.

“No, no, I’ll start packing. You can tell Jianyun to come and pick me up, and I’ll go with him,” sister He hurriedly said.

“Come with Brother Sun together. Sister He, you should talk to Brother Sun tonight and ask him to consider quitting his job. The jobs at the shop and the food subsidy are 70 yuan a month, which is as good as his job in the county,” Su Danhong said.

The shop was not ready before, but now that it was, Su Danhong was confident in her words. Besides, the salary of 70 yuan a month was a lot for both of them.

“Okay, I will talk to him tonight and I will ask him to quit tomorrow and go to the college town with me the day after tomorrow!” Sister He knew what she meant, and replied like this.

“I’ve troubled sister He,” Su Danhong smiled.

“How is this trouble? I have to thank you, Danhong. You know, Dashan’s factory is going to cut many people.” Sister He shook her head and sighed.

Su Danhong nodded and said, “Public companies are going to be replaced by private ones. It will certainly be more difficult to work in the future, but with the shop there, it will be better in the future.” ·̩̩̥

The two talked for a while. Afterwards, Su Danhong left with Qiqi and went to Zhen Miaohong’s shop to have a look. Unexpectedly, Zhen Miaohong was there.
