Chapter 105: Casual Advice
Kang Yujian has been a cold-faced person since he was a child, and he has a lukewarm, salty and indifferent expression to people and things, so that people always can't guess what he means.
Just like now, even if he hated Zhang Shengcheng so much in his heart that he scolded Zhang Shengcheng's eighteenth generation ancestor, he didn't show anything else except an iron blue on his face.
It's not that he doesn't feel sorry for his own sister, but he has to wait for the opportunity. When Zhang Shengcheng falls into his hands, he will make the turtle son look good.
Hearing her sister ask, Kang Yujian lifted her eyelids, looked at her sister and said coldly but seriously: "Yurong, everything goes with your heart, as long as you think it's right, then go along with your will." Don't let other people's opinions imprison your hands and feet. β
Kang Yurong was stunned, her eyes were hot. She really didn't expect the fourth brother to say this, this feeling of being supported and understood is so good.
Kang Yurong said again: "But you are no one else, you are my relatives." β
"It's a loved one. Kang Yujian continued: "Even if you are a relative, you should consider yourself instead of blindly obeying when you encounter problems. β
Kang Yurong held back the tears in her eyes and didn't let them fall, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you, fourth brother." β
Kang Yujian shook his head, and Shaojian said: "Yurong, you remember, it's not your fault that the divorce is not your fault, you shouldn't punish yourself with the mistakes made by others, so that you yourself are unfair to yourself." Don't look at other people's faces, and don't care about other people's judgments. Whether it's a career or a marriage, it's not terrible to fall. After falling, get up again and live a wonderful life, so that you can be worthy of yourself. β
Kang Yurong nodded solemnly and said with a smile: "Ke Mulan also said something similar. β
Hearing this, Kang Yujian smiled rarely, and said, "Although I don't agree with my father and second brother's approach, their decision not to let you remarry for three years has indirectly tested that Ke Mulan. A man who has been silently guarding you for three years is enough to show that his heart for you is true. It's true, you're ...... You can do it yourself. β
"Hmm. Kang Yurong nodded.
Qing'er and her little cousin were playing on the side, when they suddenly heard the words "Ke Mulan", and couldn't help but run over and ask, "What's wrong with my Uncle Ke?"
The fourth sister-in-law joked: "Your Uncle Ke is not much, saying that your Uncle Ke is very good." β
Qing'er raised her little head and said proudly: "Well, then you don't need to say it." β
The three adults looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
At this time, Zhang's mother said that it was time to eat. A family of five sat down in turn. With two children present, there must have been a lot of giggling and laughter at the table.
After dinner, Kang Yurong did not leave immediately, but sat in the living room with his fourth brother and sister-in-law, continuing the conversation after dinner.
The doorbell rang, Zhang's mother ran out from behind and was about to open the door, the fourth sister-in-law stood up and said, "I'll go, it must be Lao Liang and them." β
Not long after going out, the fourth sister-in-law came back, and said to the people behind her as she walked inside, "Let's move to the living room first, and put it there." The fourth sister-in-law pointed to the empty space by the window and said.
The fourth sister-in-law was followed by two men, one in his forties and the other in his twenties. Under the command of the fourth sister-in-law, they successively moved in more than 20 boxes.
After moving in, the fourth sister-in-law said to the man in his forties: "Lao Liang, you find a few people to quickly clean up the warehouse." Keep an eye on it, pack it up sooner, and move the clothes back sooner. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a problem to have so many boxes here. β
Lao Liang replied respectfully: "I know my wife." Don't worry, I'll find someone to clean up early tomorrow morning. β
The fourth sister-in-law nodded: "That's okay, let's do it first, you guys should go back early." β
After the two men withdrew, the fourth sister-in-law turned around and looked at the stack of boxes with a bitter face and shook her head, and finally sighed helplessly and returned to the sofa.
Kang Yurong looked at the boxes and asked curiously, "Fourth sister-in-law, what are those?"
The fourth sister-in-law took a sip of tea before saying, "During the Chinese New Year this year, I partnered with Mrs. Lin to open a dress shop, you know?"
Kang Yurong nodded, not only did she know about this, but she had also been to the store once.
The fourth sister-in-law continued: "I thought that although this Beijing city is not as fashionable as Shanghai, there are also wives and ladies in Western dresses everywhere. Thinking about it, how can you make a small fortune by opening a store to sell dresses. The fourth sister-in-law snorted self-deprecatingly, and continued: "What about the result? Not to mention making money, the net is sticking money in." β
"Ahh The fourth sister-in-law pointed to the boxes and said with a sad face: "It's been almost a year, and there are more leftovers than they are sold." I don't know how the water leaked in the warehouse this morning, and there was no place for these clothes, so I moved here first. Alas, looking at this large pile, I panicked. β
Kang Yujian said unhurriedly: "What are you worried about? β
"It's closed, what should I do with the rest of the clothes?" the fourth sister-in-law asked angrily.
"What can I do? No more giving away. Kang Yujian said.
The fourth sister-in-law glanced at her husband: "It's easy to say, these are all money." If you can't sell it, you'll lose a lot of money. β
"Where can I lose? The family still cares about those two money?"
"No, no matter what, I have to think about selling all these clothes, otherwise I won't be reconciled. The fourth sister-in-law smacked her lips and said, "I'm just wondering, the material and workmanship of this clothes are very good, why can't they be sold?"
Kang Yujian shook his head, his wife's temper sometimes really made him speechless.
Kang Yurong recalled the environment and decoration of the fourth sister-in-law's store, and said: "I think that the reason why it can't be sold is not only because of the quality of the clothes. β
"Hmm, what do you say?" the fourth sister-in-law's eyes widened, and she became interested.
Kang Yurong thought for a moment and said, "You are selling Western clothes, but your store, whether it is the faΓ§ade or the interior decoration, is Chinese. It's like a woman with big curls in her hair, bright lipstick, and a fashionable dress, but a pair of embroidered shoes on her feet. This kind of combination makes people look at it, not only does it feel out of tune, but it will be particularly awkward in my heart. I'm feeling uncomfortable, so how can I buy your clothes?"
Kang Yujian's gaze moved from the newspaper to his sister's face, thinking about what his sister had just said, nodded and said, "I think what Yu Rong said makes sense." Like, coffee and bread are delicious when you look at them together. If the coffee and churros are placed together, not only does it look nondescript, but it also has no appetite. β
The fourth sister-in-law nodded like pounding garlic: "I also think what you said is right." Looking at Kang Yurong, the fourth sister-in-law said: "It seems that it is necessary to redecorate the store, and it should be decorated like a foreign store." β
Kang Yurong also said: "Not only should the store be Westernized, but the placement and matching of clothes should not be too formal as before, but should be more fashionable." β
The fourth sister-in-law was excited: "Yu Rong, what you said is so good." Simply, I will call you when I decorate, and let the decoration masters do what you want. β
"Me?" Kang Yurong was stunned and said, "How do I understand? I just talk casually, at most on paper." β
The fourth sister-in-law doesn't care if she talks about soldiers on paper or not, and she finally catches one who has an idea, so she won't let go easily.
The fourth sister-in-law leaned over to Kang Yurong, hugged the latter's arm, and said a little sly: "I don't care, anyway, I must call you, you have to give me an idea." β
Kang Yurong was a little embarrassed. It's not that she doesn't help, the key is that it's not her own business. It's okay to say that she has made money, but what if she loses money again? No matter how embarrassed she is to meet her fourth brother and sister-in-law.
Kang Yujian probably understood her sister's concerns, and said, "Yurong, I think your idea is very good, you can help your sister-in-law when you have time." If you get it right, the fourth brother will give you a great credit, but if you don't get it right, the fourth brother will give you a guarantee, and no one can say anything. Anyway, your sister-in-law's shop is already like that, so what about you, just use a dead horse as a live horse doctor. β
Kang Yurong thought that the fourth brother had talked about this, and if he wanted to resign, it would be a bit of a kick in the face.
Besides, this matter is also the first thing to pick first. I said it one by one, and I pushed it back at a critical time, and this is not something that people do.
In the end, Kang Yurong nodded and agreed.
The fourth sister-in-law is really vigorous and resolute, and she found Kang Yurong at noon the next day, and the two sisters-in-law were in a small restaurant, talking about the store while eating.
Kang Yurong said: "Sister-in-law, you also know that I teach the third year of high school. The third year of high school is already heavy, and I have to take the mid-year exam next month, so it is impossible for me to take consecutive leave. I don't need to do the decoration of the store, I just need to instruct the masters on what to do. I spent my time at noon and evening going to the shop to instruct the decorators. Even if there is something bad, you can let them correct it in time. In this way, there is no delay in schools and shops. Fourth sister-in-law, do you think this will happen?"
The fourth sister-in-law smiled: "Cheng, why can't it be? I am already very grateful if you agree to help." The fourth sister-in-law took a sip of tea, and then said: "I told Mrs. Lin your thoughts this morning, and Mrs. Lin patted her thigh at that time, saying that you deserve to have stayed abroad, and the idea you came up with is more fashionable than us." So, Mrs. Lin and I hit it off and decided to let you be in charge, and you can do whatever you want with the shop. If you don't have enough money, just tell me. β
Kang Yurong couldn't help but joke: "You just let it go, aren't you afraid that I will give you more accounts and embezzle your money?"
The fourth sister-in-law said: "I'm not afraid, anyway, the money is your fourth brother's." β
Kang Yurong smiled: "Isn't the fourth brother's yours?"
"Yes, yes, yes. The fourth sister-in-law said: "But you are my sister-in-law, don't say that you are not that kind of person, even if you are really corrupt, the embezzled money will fall into your pocket, and I am willing to let you be greedy." β
Even if these words are just superficial articles, Kang Yurong's heart is warm when he listens to them, and he naturally works more attentively.
