Xu Yin successfully took back the salary autonomy of the cheap mother.
To be honest, she didn't want to go to such trouble, it would seem like she was being stingy by telling them, but each of these two couples was more worried than the other, so she, the daughter, could only be the parent.
But as a result, her aunts started to hate her.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, her parents and uncle were going to an exchange meeting to set up stalls. The flow of people at the exchange meeting was much greater than that of the morning and night markets. It was a rare opportunity to make money, and they didn't want to miss it. So she took the time to go back to Mushu Town to visit her grandma on behalf of her family.
I was talked to by several aunts together, and all they said was just these few words:
"How can you, a girl, be the head of a family? You have the financial power of your mother's family and you are not afraid of being laughed at if you talk about it?"
"That is, if you care so much about money, who will dare to marry you in the future?"
Xu Yin spread her hands: Who cares?
But it needs to be said:
"Auntie, second aunt, and auntie, you don't care about money, so why don't you pay off my uncle's debt?"
"..."
"We don't have any money!"
"That's right, if we had money, we would have paid it back for the soldiers."
Xu Yin nodded: "Yes, my family doesn't have any money. We have to invest capital in doing business. My family now has more debt than my uncle. My family has paid off the debt for my uncle, so who will pay for my family?"
"..."
After this, her aunts didn't say anything in front of her anymore, but it's unclear whether they murmured behind her back.
Anyway, they were far away and couldn't see each other a few times a year. And because of this, they were worried that her unique personality would bring bad luck to their daughter, so she was unwilling to associate with her family. Xu Yin was happy to be clean.
In the blink of an eye, it’s late autumn when we need to wear thick clothes in the morning and evening.
Xu Yin has been paying attention to the shops along the street recently. She plans to build a shop before winter. If she can't afford to buy one, she might as well rent it first.
After all, in the cold winter when the northwest wind is blowing and the snow is heavy on the feet, it is difficult to do business in the morning and evening stalls.
Even now, the night stall business is not as good as it was in the summer.
If it were just my parents, they would not be doing business during the cold winter months, so they should take a vacation to rest. But there is also an uncle, and I am worried that he will get addicted to gambling again when he is free.
So I decided to rent a storefront.
There are no storefronts around the iron ore plant and machinery factory. A few canteens were renovated with windows in private houses.
However, there is a small storefront next to the textile factory that is being transferred. It was originally a barber shop. A new barber shop with a bathhouse opened nearby. In the first month after the new store opened, bathing coupons were given out, and nearby residents went there to get haircuts.
The business has plummeted, and the rent is due at the end of October. The boss doesn't want to continue renting, and plans to open a store somewhere else.
Xu Yin made an appointment with the landlord to see the store, because it was originally a barber shop, and the wall facing the street was a window, which could be opened to facilitate business; the water and electricity were also connected, and three sinks were installed, which was very convenient for her home.
Xu Yin rented the store on the spot for half a year.
Half a year later, she thought about how she could save enough money to open a shop.
After paying three months' rent and getting the key, Xu Yin stopped by the textile factory to see her uncle.
…
"Jian Bing, let's go, what kind of sesame cakes are we selling? Three of them are short of one, so I have to leave you."
Ma Jianbing had just set up his stall in his old place and started to bake the first batch of sesame seed pancakes and make the first pot of soybean paste pancakes, trying to be ready to welcome the first wave of customers before the bell rang at the textile factory. At this moment, he came to
I met three people, all of whom were gambling friends who had played cards together before.
Like him, these three people came to the city to hide from debts. At first, they found a job at a construction site moving bricks and mixing cement. They found the work to be low-paid and tiring, so they left after only two days of work. While wandering on the street, they saw
When I arrived at the mahjong parlor, my hands were itchy. When I entered, I found that it was a gambling den. The owner of the gambling den saw that the three of them were old gamblers, so he invited them to work at his place. When business was good, he let them set up games and lend money; when business was bad,
When the time comes, let them take to the streets to hand out leaflets.
No, business at the mahjong parlor has been slow recently. The three of them were sent by the boss to distribute flyers. By chance, they met Ma Jianbing who was setting up a night stall, and they enthusiastically took him to the mahjong parlor to play a few games.
Ma Jianbing didn't want to go, so the three of them just said "you", and I said something to him, "Three of them have been missing and one of them has been missing for a long time, and I won't play with them for a few games? It's a shame that they helped him before when he was forced to pay debt by Brother Luo."
I said something blabla...
Ma Jianbing saw that they were trying to prevent him from setting up a stall, and he saw that the textile factory was about to get off work. What if the girl he liked saw him messing with people at the mahjong parlor and had a bad impression of him? He had no choice but to close the stall.
Then he said, "Okay, I haven't seen you for a long time. I'll play a few games with you, just a few games. I have to go back before dinner."
"Okay, okay!"
These three people took Ma Jianbing to the mahjong parlor. In order to keep this big fat fish in check, the three of them deliberately played cards to lose to him.
Ma Jianbing felt relieved when he won the money. After returning home, he handed the money he won to his niece as the night's turnover.
But I still felt a little weak, so I didn’t plan to go to the mahjong parlor again.
But those three people had just thrown the bait and hadn't seen their money back yet. How could they let him go? Wouldn't this happen again?
Ma Jianbing flattered the three of them by sharing a freshly baked brown sugar biscuit: "Brothers, I really can't leave, so I won't go today. Let's go another day! I'll go and play with you another day when I'm free."
"Jianbing, this is boring! Didn't we agree yesterday? We will continue today. You can't just win money and stop going."
"No, no, I didn't mean that. I meant that I couldn't get away today. Next time..."
"What about next time?"
Xu Yin appeared behind him silently.
Ma Jianbing was so startled that he almost dropped the sesame seed cake in his hand.
"Yin, Yin Yin, why are you here?"
"Let me help you." Xu Yin rolled up her sleeves and asked the three people in front of the stall with a smile, "What kind of sesame cakes do you three uncles want? I'll fill it for you."
Mao Daqiang said with a smile: "You are Bingzi's niece? That's just right. You can help your uncle watch the stalls for a while. We will play a few games of mahjong. In a while..."
Ma Jianbing couldn't wait to cover his mouth with his hands, thinking it was over! He would most likely be beaten!
Xu Yin smiled faintly: "I'm afraid I can't do it now! I can't do it alone. How about we wait until the stall is closed?"
"this……"
"Okay, okay, you go ahead, we'll wait for the soldiers nearby."
The three of them winked at each other, retreated to a nearby big tree, and squatted there smoking and waiting.
Ma Jianbing secretly glanced at his niece and wondered why she wasn't angry?
"Yinyin, what the hell, I only went once, and they forced me to go, but I didn't lose, and even won fifty..."
Xu Yin ignored him.
Ma Jianbing was anxious and wanted to explain that the workers in the textile factory were off work, and suddenly a group of people rushed over to buy Jiangxiang pancakes and sesame pancakes.
An older sister asked: "Boss, why didn't you come to set up the stall yesterday? It didn't rain yesterday."
Ma Jianbing felt bitter in his heart. He secretly glanced at his niece and found that she was looking at him with a half-smile. He said in his heart that it was over! The last time his little ancestor smiled like this was the day he was beaten outside Mushu Town.
The eldest sister is still saying: "Boss, yesterday I had to wait here for a long time without eating your sesame cakes. Please make it cheaper for me today."
