Chapter 131: Generous Strokes
Shen Chi and Shen Aizhi inquired in the town, and there were really several that wanted to sell, and Shen Chi and Shen Aizhi also had the willingness to buy, the only thing that made the two of them feel dissatisfied was that the shops were too scattered, and the east and west were not concentrated enough.
The venue was too scattered to be used well, Shen Chi and Shen Aizhi came out of the last shop, and said to Shen Aizhi: "Auntie, we can count it first and see if we can exchange the shops with others for a fee, so that we can gather the scattered shops?" ”
Shen Aizhi felt that what Shen Chi said was also a way, you can try it, and was about to answer, but suddenly found that ten meters in front of her, there was an old lady with small feet who was holding a snakeskin bag in one hand and tongs in the other, picking up garbage with small steps.
"That'...... Isn't it Xiaozhou's grandmother? Shen Aizhi looked at the familiar back and said in surprise.
As soon as the people and things related to Xiao Mingjin were mentioned, Shen Chi couldn't help but think of Xiao Mingjin himself, and there was always a knot in his heart that could not be solved, with a weak heart, panic, and a trace of fear......
Shen Aizhi strode towards Xiao Zhou's grandmother, Shen Chi had no choice but to follow, and when he got closer, Shen Aizhi shouted at the old lady: "Mom, what are you doing here?" ”
Grandma Xiao Zhou saw that it was Shen Aizhi, and immediately burst into tears with joy and excitement: "It's rare that you are willing to call me 'Mom'." ”
Shen Aizhi listened to her words and had mixed feelings in her heart, although Xiao Mingjin is not a thing, but this ex-mother-in-law is still very good to her.
"What you said about it, no matter what, you are also Xiaozhou's grandmother." Shen Aizhi said and asked, "Why did you pick up the garbage?" ”
Grandma Xiao Zhou sobbed: "Less than three days after Mingjin's death, the fox spirit surnamed Huang swept away all the valuable things in the family along with the passbook, and now there is nothing left at home. ”
The old lady burst into tears as she spoke, Shen Aizhi and Shen Chi were surprised when they heard it, they didn't expect the woman surnamed Huang to be so ruthless, she took the money and left, and she didn't even care about the old lady's life or death.
The two of them sighed when they heard it, especially Shen Chi, who always felt a trace of guilt for the old man, seeing that she was in such a miserable situation now, she couldn't help but comfort her, and when she spoke, Grandma Xiao Zhou said Shen Chi and Shen Aizhi: "This is not the place to talk, let's sit in my shop." ”
As she spoke, she took the two to her shop in the town, which Xiao Mingjin bought in the town before his death, and it was two adjacent shops, adding up to more than eighty square meters.
Mrs. Xiao opened one of the rooms, which was full of tin boxes and all kinds of waste paper.
Shen Aizhi frowned: "Mom, don't pick up those garbage in the future, Mingjin is gone, you still have Xiao Zhou, let Xiao Zhou provide for you in the future." ”
When Mrs. Xiao heard Shen Aizhi say this, she was so excited that she burst into tears: "My old bones can still move, and I will trouble you when I really can't move in the future." ”
Saying that, he asked Shen Aizhi what he was doing in the town, so Shen Aizhi said that he planned to buy a house and build a factory in the town, and Mrs. Xiao pointed to her shop and said, "Isn't this shop ready-made?" What else to buy. ”
"This is your shop, how can we occupy it." Shen Aizhi refused again and again.
Mrs. Xiao said unhappily: "What do you say about occupancy, this is left by Mingjin, there are two rooms in total, and the one next door is also, and it will not all be Xiaozhou's in the future." ”
"But this place is still too small for me." Shen Aizhi made excuses again.
Mrs. Xiao insisted: "This is easy to say, I will inquire for you whether the other shops in the neighborhood are for sale, and you can spend less money if you buy two less." ”
Shen Aizhi saw that Mrs. Xiao was so persistent, and she couldn't find a reason to refuse for a while, but she just thought that she was not the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family after all, and occupying the shop would inevitably make people gossip.
Seeing this, Shen Chi thought for a while and said: "Auntie, grandma is right, the eldest uncle is gone, what he left behind should be inherited by his cousin, and if your aunt has this heart, you should not refuse again, so as not to hurt your aunt's heart, just let my cousin be more filial to my aunt and grandma in the future." ”
Mrs. Xiao looked at Shen Chi and said, "This kid is still so good at talking." ”
Seeing Mrs. Xiao picking up garbage, Shen Aizhi couldn't bear it, so he nodded in agreement, and then Shen Chi said again: "Auntie, let's vacate a shop for Grandma to sell eggs, it's not much better than picking up garbage." ”
In addition to the 100 chickens in the garden, the previous ones have begun to lay eggs, there are nearly 100 eggs a day, and a little accumulation of two days is enough for Mrs. Xiao to sell, which can be regarded as finding a job for her to make a living.
Shen Aizhi listened with it, and immediately began to clean up the shop, bundled up the garbage that Mrs. Xiao picked up, and took it to the place where the waste was collected and sold.
The money from the sale was given to Mrs. Xiao, and she told her not to leave, and she went back to bring her eggs.
Shen Aizhi went home and immediately told the family about Xiao Zhou's grandmother, Hu began to be widowed at the age of thirty-six, and knew that it was not easy, and sighed lightly when he heard the words: "Xiaozhou's grandmother is a good person, let's help if we can help it." ”
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 she sold out, Mrs. Xiao was so moved that she couldn't cry.
After Xiao Zhou's grandmother's incident, Shen Chi immediately decided to use her two shops as the center, and buy what the surrounding shops can buy, and find other shops for paid exchange if they don't want to sell.
After tossing and turning like this for nearly a month, I finally acquired more than 40 shops, with an area of large and small, the large one has more than 100 square meters, and the small one has only about 10 square meters, with a total area of about 2,300 square meters.
This waiting for real estate has not yet risen, and the town buys houses and sells them by building, because some shops are not actively sold by others, so the money is spent a little more, but if you don't attract others with a lot of money, how can you be willing to transfer the shop?
In the end, a square meter costs almost fifty-six yuan, and a total of 130,000 yuan is invested
All of a sudden, the money he got from his father and his own 30,000 yuan were all spent, and Shen Aizhi also advanced 30,000 yuan.
Shen Aizhi looked at the amount of money spent and said uneasily: "This is too expensive, a shop is five or six thousand big, and the small one is several hundred, are we buying too much?" ”
A square meter of less than 60 is still expensive, you must know that a 40-square-meter shop in Song Town later cost more than 1.2 million, which has risen hundreds of times!
"It's not expensive, auntie, don't worry, you can earn back all this money in the future." Shen Chi only hated that there was too little money left in his hand, and he couldn't wait to take down the entire town.
The shop is down, the rest is to transform, Shen Chi and Shen Aizhi's aunt and nephew have eaten for the past two days and don't do any work, so they hide in the room to design the factory, Shen Chi is responsible for drawing, Shen Aizhi is responsible for putting forward opinions, and Shen Chi occasionally talks about his thoughts.
In another two days, the two discussed the design of the plant and the renovation of the factory, and Shen Aizhi was responsible for inviting people, and the garment factory started vigorously on a day.
