“Hubby, it’s all thanks to the Yuan family being rich that they didn’t ask us back for the money after the commotion caused by that mentally retarded son.”
Liu Fang touched the 20,000 yuan in her hand as if it was a treasure.
“No matter what, since they don’t want it anymore, the 20,000 yuan will belong to our family. You have to keep it well. We don’t have many chances to get so much money again.”
Yun Gang originally did not care about these small profits, but things were different now.
“Hubby, you say that our family has some savings now. Why don’t we learn from them and start a small business?! I really don’t want to continue weaving fans at home. Moreover, it’s winter now, so the sales of this fan are not that good. We can only weave some mats, but weaving mats is really tiring.”
Liu Fang took out her hands and looked at the wounds on them that were cut by the bamboo. She complained.
“Then what kind of business do you think we can do? They are all big businesses. We can’t do that kind of big business with our 20,000 yuan.”
“You’re too used to being an official. You only feel that you can’t earn money by relying on your own strength. The Jing family was a poor and destitute family in the beginning, but with only little savings, they opened a pharmacy. Didn’t they make a comeback? Now, they’re almost the richest person in the entire county. Their shops are opening one after another, and every shop is thriving.”
Liu Fang used Jing Yu’s family as an example to encourage Yun Gang.
“On the way back that day, I’ve actually thought of what we should do next. You see, every house actually needs to burn wood, and the county is no exception. However, the people in the county are always having trouble buying wood, and coal is so expensive. Why don’t we open a small shop selling wood in the county and serve a few regular customers every day? We can also earn a difference in price.”
It seemed that Liu Fang had been thinking about this for a long time.
“That’s a good idea. Do you have any specific ideas?”
Yun Gang found that he had always underestimated the woman in front of him. Indeed, a woman was born weak, but a mother was strong. For the future of their child, even Liu Fang, who had not studied much, could think of a way to do business.
“We will rent the ox cart from Old Niu’s house. The firewood we bring every day is just enough for the shop to use. When the shop develops again, we should be able to have a sum of savings. At that time, we will buy a few ox carts to go back and forth between the county town and our house,” Liu Fang said vividly.
“Okay, let’s do it as you said! I will go and check the location of the shop tomorrow. We will first take out half of the money to invest in this business. After all, if it doesn’t succeed, we will still have some money left to make a comeback.”
Yun Gang was also moved by the business because every shop in the Jing family was really tempting.
“Then, are we going to redeem our old house?” Liu Fang asked.
“Since we’re already going to look after the shops in the city, why are we going to redeem this old house? When the time comes, I’ll directly find a house with an attic on top of the shop. My family will also move to the county town. Since they’re willing to take this old house, I’ll leave it for them to use as a warehouse. Otherwise, it’ll be quite troublesome to deal with.”
Yun Gang did not linger on this old house. Instead, he made up his mind.
“That’s great, that’s great. I can also move to the county town and live there. This way, I’ll be able to eat a lot of delicious food!”
Yun Lang also heard his parents’ conversation and was so excited that he was dancing with joy.
The news that the Yun family’s eldest son was going to open a shop in the county town was heard by the second son through Yun Lang’s shout.
Ma Yan tightly clutched the basket in her hand, her heart filled with resentment.
