The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 58 (Part 2)

Mother Chen laughed and scolded: "How old are you, but you still act like a child."

"No matter how old I am, I am still a child to you, mother," said Chen Rou.

Mother Chen smiled and said, "I went to your fourth sister's place yesterday, and she said she would be moving to the city next year?"

"She could have come in earlier. She can wear nice clothes in the future. I sent her a set last time, but she refused to accept it." Chen Rou said.

The last time Han Guobin came back, she took advantage of his holiday to let him go over to look after the shop, and she took the rare time to go back to her parents' home.

Naturally, she also went to her fourth sister's place, but her fourth sister did not accept it because she had to work and could not wear such clothes.

"Your fourth sister has a strong personality. She just doesn't want to trouble you too much. Now that she has saved enough capital to do business, she is willing to come to the city to learn how to do business from you." said Chen's mother.

"She's just making trouble. What's wrong with her borrowing it first? I'm just putting my money there anyway, and I'm not afraid that she won't pay it back." Chen Rou said.

In the past few years, her fourth sister has been raising pigs and chickens in the village, and her brother-in-law has been doing farm work. As for brothers An Wen and An Wu, they are both in college and will graduate next year.

The school gives subsidies, so the expenses are not much, but they are both boys and they eat a lot, so Chen Sijie and An Dabang are under a lot of pressure.

So when it was mentioned that year, it still hadn’t entered the city until this year.

Mother Chen hesitated and said, "From what I heard from your fourth sister, she really plans to go to the city to make dumplings. Rourou, do you think cooking dumplings is really a good idea?"

"What's wrong with that? My bun shop makes a lot of money every month, just doing it for one morning." Chen Rou said, "Mom, don't worry about it. You'll know when my sister and brother-in-law come."

Mother Chen whispered, "I heard that your third uncle and your third brother's wife and their family have moved into the city?"

"Where did you hear this, mom?" Chen Rou asked her after she went out to weigh the items for the customer, collected the money.

"I heard from the third daughter-in-law of my aunt that her hometown is in your village," said Chen's mother.

"Yes, they have all moved in." Chen Rou nodded.

"It seems like you've been in the city for quite some time. What do you do for a living?" said Chen's mother.

"Qiu Shou has gone back to help. He probably hasn't figured out what he's going to do for a living yet." Chen Rou said.

"I think they are not very reliable. Don't get involved with them, okay?" Chen's mother warned.

"Then I dare not." Chen Rou said, and told her that her third brother's wife was actually willing to acquire the factory.

Chen's mother said angrily, "She wants to hold up the sky with her own hands. She has never even run a small business, and she wants to contract a factory? Does she know how much it costs to contract a factory?"

"Money alone is not enough. Human resources management, factory operations, and development direction all require initial investment," said Chen Rou.

She doesn't have as lofty ideals as Song Xiaoyu. She just wants to be content with a small fortune.

Her family owns three shops in the county town, two of which are open and the other one is not open yet. However, the profits from these two shops are already to her satisfaction.

The remaining shop is in a good location, so just keep it, no worries.

Chen Rou really had no intention of opening a factory or doing something big. She just wanted to live a peaceful and stable life.

"Don't borrow money if you want to. I don't think it's reliable." said Chen's mother.

"If you want to borrow, you have to have money. You know how much Guobin spends money. Last time he bought a big color TV at home, but you don't know it yet. I'll take you back to see it later. It cost a lot of money." Chen Rou said.

That's the ready-made reason.

As for the fact that the family does not save money, that is normal. Raising four children not only requires taking care of their food, clothing, shelter and other expenses, but also their daily needs.

It doesn’t look like much, but you’ll know once you become the boss.

Besides, the sofa, washing machine, big clock, bicycle and other things in the house are all free of charge.

"You told him to save money, so he bought a semiconductor watch for your father, and now he bought one for me," said Chen's mother.

She wore a watch on her wrist, but she didn't dare tell others that it was a gift from her son-in-law. She just said she bought it herself, for she was worried that the news would get to the Han family.

But I have to say that although my son-in-law is good at making money, he is also really good at spending money.

Chen Rou smiled and said, "That's nothing. He's doing this to honor his mother-in-law."

In recent years, she has been very grateful to her mother for coming to the city to help her. There was really no other way, as Han Guobin often had to take long-distance bus trips on business, and she could not handle it alone.

At that time, the third and fourth children were still young. It was okay in the summer, but in the winter, do they have to be brought over early in the morning to do business with her?

Her mother came to take care of her.

The children have grown up in the past two years, so they don't have to trouble their mother anymore.

As for the fact that she supports her parents' family, let them say what they want. How can she control what others say about her?

If her mother-in-law was willing to lend a hand, Chen Rou would not be reluctant to buy her a big item.

Over the years, they only gave us that one semiconductor and nothing else.

Chen Rou also heard about that semiconductor from Mrs. Han, and as for the matter of the rotten eggs, Chen Rou didn't mention it in front of Han Guobin so she didn't know about it, but she remembered it in her heart!

She is biased, but if she doesn't treat her son as a human being, then why should she be polite to him?

Just be okay, don't think about anything else.

Chen's mother didn't plan to stay long this time, but both Chen Rou and the children insisted on keeping her.

The next day, Chen Sijie and An Dabang came into the city.

Chen's mother and Chen Rou were sleeping in the main house, and the fourth child was called over.

Sister Chen Si slept with Chengzi, and as for An Dabang, he slept on the same kang with the two brothers Han Hang and Han Zhou.

The kangs are spacious and big enough for sleeping.

Chen Sijie and An Dabang came here mainly to rent houses and shops.

With the development of the times, the concept of renting is now very popular, and the previous term "borrowing" is no longer used.

When An Dabang went to find her, Chen Sijie came over to the two shops to help her sister and learn from their experience.

"Actually, opening a bun shop is not a bad idea. But if you do it yourself, you have to get up early in the morning. Fourth sister, do you want to consider it?" Chen Rou asked.

"If I do the same as you, then I must open my shop farther away." Sister Chen Si actually had the same idea and said.

"You're late. It's hard to rent a place here now." Chen Rou said. All the shops on these streets were rented out. "Have you confirmed it with my brother-in-law?"

"I was planning to make dumplings, but seeing your bun business, it seems quite easy." Sister Chen Si said, wavering a little.

Her sister told her that if they made more buns and sold them, they could make a profit of two to three hundred yuan a month, especially if the couple worked on their own and didn't hire any workers, the profit would be even higher.

The profit from making buns is visible, but making dumplings is still an uncertain thing, and her sister has never done it.

"It's easy. You can discuss it with your brother-in-law and prepare the other ingredients by yourselves. As for the meat, I'll have someone deliver it. You can just pick it up at my house when the time comes. We'll discuss the money later." Chen Rou said.

Sister Chen Si said, "This is my first time doing business, and I'm really nervous."

"I heard from mom that you plan to do it next year? Not this year?" Chen Rou said.

"There are only two months left this year." said Sister Chen Si.

"See if my brother-in-law has found a shop. If he has, and the tools are all available, we can start working right away without having to worry about so many things," said Chen Rou.

It was her fourth sister's first time doing business, so she was definitely nervous. She knew that business would not be difficult after entering the city, but she was also unsure since she had never done it before, so she just set up a stall after entering the city.

Because Fourth Sister Chen came to help, Mother Chen did not come. She was at home taking apart and washing quilts, cotton-padded clothes, etc., and cleaning up everything inside and outside for her.

With her around, Han Hang and the others can eat right away when they come back. With their grandma around, they don't have to worry about anything.

The shop was not difficult to find. An Dabang found several shops willing to rent out in two days. After he looked at them, he went to ask his wife to come and take a look.

Sister Chen Si heard a lot of experience from Chen Rou. The first choice for a shop is to have a good location, and the surrounding environment, the character of the landlord, etc. all need to be taken into consideration.

I managed to rent a nice shop very quickly. After that, the next step was to find a house.

Chen Rou's house is spacious, and it's no problem for her to stay there for ten days or half a month. But when Han Guobin comes back, it will definitely not be spacious enough and inconvenient.

So Chen Rou didn't try to keep him, and it would be more appropriate to rent one instead.

While Chen Sijie and An Dabang were looking for a house to rent, Han Guolin and Song Xiaoyu also returned from the countryside.
