Shen Chi and Shen Aizhi inquired around the town, and found that there were indeed several businesses that were willing to sell. Shen Chi and Shen Aizhi were also willing to buy. The only thing that made them dissatisfied was that the shop was too big.
Scattered, with one house in the east and one in the west not concentrated enough.
The space was too scattered and not easy to use. Shen Chi and Shen Aizhi came out of the last shop and said to Shen Aizhi: "Auntie, we can do some statistics first to see if we can exchange the shop with others for a fee. Isn't that right?
Can we gather the scattered shops together?"
Shen Aizhi felt that what Shen Chi said was a solution and she could try it. Just as she was about to answer, she suddenly noticed an old lady with small feet ten meters in front of her, holding a snakeskin bag in one hand and a poker in the other.
Xiao Sui Bu is picking up rubbish.
"Isn't that... Xiaozhou's grandma?" Shen Aizhi said in surprise as she looked at the familiar figure from behind.
Whenever people and things related to Xiao Mingjin are mentioned, Shen Chi can't help but think of Xiao Mingjin himself. There is always an unsolvable knot in his heart, including guilt, panic, and a hint of fear...
Shen Aizhi strode towards Xiao Zhou's grandma, and Shen Chi had no choice but to follow her. When he got closer, Shen Aizhi shouted to the old lady: "Mom, what are you doing here?"
When Grandma Xiao Zhou saw it was Shen Aizhi, she was so happy and excited that she shed tears: "It's rare that you are willing to call me 'Mom'."
Shen Aizhi felt mixed emotions after hearing her words. Although Xiao Mingjin was not a good person, this ex-mother-in-law was still very good to her.
"What you said, after all, you are also Xiaozhou's grandmother." Shen Aizhi said and then asked: "Why did you pick up the garbage?"
Grandma Xiao Zhou cried and said: "Less than three days after Ming Jin died, the vixen named Huang took away all the valuable things in the house together with the bankbook. Now there is nothing in the house."
The old lady shed tears again as she spoke. Shen Aizhi and Shen Chi were greatly surprised when they heard this. They didn't expect that the woman named Huang was so cruel. She took the money and ran away, not even caring about the old lady's life or death.
Already.
The two of them couldn't help but sigh, especially Shen Chi, who always felt a little guilty for the old man. Seeing that her situation was so miserable, she couldn't help but comfort her. As she spoke, Grandma Xiao Zhou said to Shen Chi and Shen Aizhi: "This is not for talking.
Please take a seat in my shop."
While talking, she took the two of them to her shop in the town, which Xiao Mingjin bought in the town before his death. They were two adjacent shops, with a total area of more than 80 square meters.
Mrs. Xiao opened one of the rooms, which was filled with tin boxes and various waste papers.
Shen Aizhi frowned at this: "Mom, please stop picking up that garbage in the future. You still have Xiao Zhou when Ming Jin is gone. From now on, let Xiao Zhou take care of you in old age."
When Mrs. Xiao heard what Shen Aizhi said, she was so excited that she shed tears again: "I can still move my old bones. I won't trouble you again when I can't move anymore."
After that, he asked Shen Aizhi what he was doing in the town. Shen Aizhi then told him that he planned to buy a house, shop and build a factory in the town. Mrs. Xiao pointed to her shop and said: "Isn't this shop ready-made?
What else are you buying?"
"This is your shop, how can we occupy it?" Shen Aizhi refused repeatedly.
Mrs. Xiao said unhappily: "Speaking of occupation, these are left by Ming Jin. There are two rooms in total, as well as the one next door. In the future, not all of them will belong to Xiaozhou."
"But this place is still too small, not enough for me." Shen Aizhi found another excuse.
Mrs. Xiao was very insistent: "That's easy to say. Let me find out for you whether the other neighboring shops are for sale. You can save some money by buying two less shops."
Seeing Mrs. Xiao's insistence, Shen Aizhi couldn't find a reason to refuse for a while. She just thought that she was not the Xiao family's wife after all, and occupying the shop would inevitably make people gossip.
Seeing this, Shen Chi thought for a while and said: "Aunt, my aunt is right. My eldest uncle is gone, and the things he left behind should be inherited by my cousin. If my aunt has this intention, don't refuse anymore, so as not to hurt her.
I have won my aunt's heart, and I will just ask my cousin to be more filial to my aunt in the future."
Mrs. Xiao looked at Shen Chi and said, "This kid is still so good at talking."
Seeing Mrs. Xiao picking up rubbish, Shen Aizhi really couldn't bear it, so she nodded in agreement. At this time, Shen Chi said again: "Auntie, let's make a shop for my aunt to sell eggs. This is not much better than picking up rubbish."
.”
Except for the hundred chickens caught last, all the chickens in the garden have begun to lay eggs. There are nearly a hundred eggs every day. After just two days of accumulation, Mrs. Xiao can sell them, which can be regarded as finding a job for her to make a living.
Shen Aizhi greatly agreed upon hearing this, and immediately started cleaning up the shop, bundling up the rubbish picked up by Mrs. Xiao and taking it to a scrap collection place to sell it.
He gave the money from the sale to Mrs. Xiao and told her not to leave. He would go back and bring her eggs.
When Shen Aizhi came home, she immediately told her family about Xiao Zhou's grandma. Hu became a widow at the age of thirty-six and knew how difficult it was. Hearing this, he sighed softly: "Xiao Zhou's grandma is a good person. We can help her."
Please help me."
Shen Changlin had nothing to say about this, so Shen Aizhi sent a basket of eggs to Mrs. Xiao in the afternoon, which was a penny cheaper than the wholesale price, and asked her to pay after they were sold out. Mrs. Xiao was moved
I couldn't help but cry.
After what happened to Grandma Xiao Zhou, Shen Chi immediately decided to use her two shops as the center of the circle, and buy the surrounding shops if they could, and find other shops for paid exchanges if she didn't want to sell them.
After struggling like this for nearly a month, I finally acquired more than 40 shops, ranging in size from large to small. The large one is about a hundred square meters, and the small one is only about ten square meters. The total area is about 2,300 square meters.
.
At this time, real estate had not yet emerged, and houses were bought and sold in town on a per-unit basis. Because some shops were not actively sold by others, so money was spent a bit too much. But how could one be willing to transfer the shop if one did not attract others with large sums of money?
At last calculation, one square meter costs about fifty-six yuan, so a total of 130,000 yuan was invested.
In one fell swoop, he spent all the money he had stolen from his father and his own 30,000 yuan, and Shen Aizhi also added 30,000 yuan as an advance.
When Shen Aizhi saw how much money had been spent, she felt uneasy and said, "It's too expensive. A big shop costs five to six thousand, and a small one costs several hundred. Did we buy too much?"
"
It was still expensive at less than 60 yuan per square meter. You must know that a 40-square-meter shop in Song Town later cost more than 1.2 million yuan, which increased hundreds of times!
"It's not expensive, don't worry, Auntie, you can earn back the money in the future." Shen Chi only hated that he had so little money left in his hands, and wished he could take over the whole town.
The shop was sold, and all that was left was to renovate it. Shen Chi and Shen Aizhi's aunt and nephew did not do anything for the past two days, but hid in the room designing the factory building. Shen Chi was responsible for the drawings, and Shen Aizhi was responsible for it.
Shen Chi also expressed his opinions occasionally.
In another two days, the two of them discussed the design of the factory and hiring people to renovate it. Shen Aizhi was responsible for hiring people. After choosing a day, the garment factory started construction with great fanfare. This chapter has been completed!
