Chapter 8: Cousin

Yun Susu has a deposit of more than 100,000 yuan in his bank card, which is enough to rent a small courtyard outside the fifth ring road of Beijing for half a year.

Although Mrs. Yun told her: "You two aunts who have no conscience, if you want to use their place, just say what I said and let them help you! If you don't need them, you can ignore them!" But Yun Susu felt that if she wanted to come to Beijing to live in the future, with Mrs. Yun here, there would be no shortage of meetings with the two aunts, so she should say hello first. Besides, Mrs. Yun is just hard-mouthed, and she doesn't necessarily miss her two daughters. So while she was still on the high-speed train, Yun Susu contacted her two aunts and asked them to accompany her to see the house.

"Susu, why did you think of coming to Beijing to live? Isn't it good to work well in your hospital? Why do you want to resign?" the aunt disagreed.

"Recently, I made a small fortune and met two jade merchants, who helped me to come out of a purchase and sales channel, and wanted to open a small shop in Beijing to test the water. Yun Susu had already thought of an excuse.

"How old is the jade merchant?Is it divorced?Rich people are bad now, but don't be the kind of person who eats in the bowl and looks at the pot... In this way, when do you bring it to show your aunt, after all, your aunt has been a public security officer all her life, and her righteousness can still deter Xiaoxiao, and her eyesight is still good. You kid can't delay any longer, let my aunt check for you this time. "My aunt decisively thought about it.

"Auntie, it's not what you think. The two jade merchants were both women. Yun Susu couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to continue to make it up.

"Ah, it's a woman. What do you young people think about now? One by one, you are not satisfied with your own work, and you start a business today and change jobs tomorrow! Your brother Haoran has also recently resigned, and you say that he is a retired special forces soldier who does not stay in the SWAT team, what can he do when he comes out to the sea? If you want me to say, it is better for young people not to be ambitious, and how good it is to work in a down-to-earth manner and live in peace!" The aunt remembered what was not going well and started the mode of deep complaining.

The second aunt tried to change the topic and adjust the atmosphere: "Your grandmother is okay, how are your parents doing, when did you bring those two babies here?"

"They're all good. My grandmother is in very good health, really, her gray hair is starting to turn green, and the neighbors say that she is rejuvenated. Yun Susu was afraid that they would be frightened when they saw the old lady's current appearance, so she wanted to do some preventive work for them first.

"Haha! She is still rejuvenated, not rejuvenated! She is also more heart--raising that son is raised by your grandmother's family, the son is not the same as her, and the grandson has also been taught to be close to her, so she can live a long life! If it weren't for Su Su's sensibility and kissing her since she was a child, I don't know who she will rely on when she can't move in the future! Alas!" The second aunt sighed, and asked again: "Su Su, let me ask you, your father doesn't care about your grandmother now?

My dad would bring me rice and noodles for my milk every month, and even our mother's rations. It's just that they are afraid that my grandmother will scold people, so they don't go to the old house much. Yun Susu hurriedly explained. Anyway, that's my parents.

"Can you live just by pointing to the rice and noodles? Hmph! They are the most disagreeable! How can there be an old lady who is 90 years old and still splits the pot and cooks another stove? You raised this son for nothing! He is so unfilial, he has committed a crime in the past, and he should have been thundered and struck every day!" The second aunt herself has not seen much filial piety, but she is justified when she talks about others.

"Isn't this me? I follow my milk, second aunt, you can rest assured!" Yun Susu was a little upset, every time she saw the second aunt, there were many rights and wrongs, and she felt tired.

"It's still Su Su, it's good! Su Su has been a good child since she was a child!" the second aunt praised her lightly, and then said: "Su Su, you have to wait for your grandmother well, and give her a good old age." Your grandmother is the most distressed to your generation, whether inside or outside your grandchildren! You can't learn from your parents' ungratefulness! Besides, you don't suffer a loss when you give your grandmother a pension, right? I heard that our old house is now zoned to the city, but it's worth it, and when your grandma is gone, it's not all yours? We don't fight with you, if you want to, you make up for our two dollars, and if you are tight, we will also understand you. But you have to be a little more attentive, and treat the old lady better, don't be coaxed away by your two brothers' sweet mouths, you will end up empty!"

"The second aunt said this early, the old lady is in good health! Besides, the old lady's house, who she loves to give it to, what does it have to do with us?" Yun Susu spoke a little impulsively, she frowned, and became angry: It is all her and her father's business to wait for the old lady to provide for the old lady's old age, and they all have a share in the old lady's house; and the old lady lives well, they don't care about anything, they go back to see the old lady once a year, but think about how the old lady will divide the inheritance after she dies! Yun Susu is a little cold. Although she doesn't point to the old mansion to live, the truth is not like this.

However, she can't afford to argue with her second aunt, the old lady has already refined qi at the sixth level, and at this rate, it will definitely be no problem to introduce spirits into the body and officially enter the Dao in the future. There is a huge thunder tribulation in the monk's initiation, which is called the Great Tribulation of Initiation. In the process of entering the Tao, the body is transformed by the aura and the thunder is refined, in this process, the monk will become lightweight, the life expectancy will increase, and he will be beyond the mundane, and he is no longer suitable for long-term life in the world. Even if you live in the world, you can't live in the same place for a long time. At that time, they will have to go into the mountains to retreat, or change places and identities in the world to start anew. Cultivators are also particular about not being stuck in things, and the houses, money, and possessions in the worldly world have no weight at all in their eyes.

She endured boredom to deal with the second aunt, comforted the eldest aunt, and followed the intermediary to see two sets of buildings and one yard in the afternoon.

At dinner, the three of them sat in a small restaurant to exchange opinions. The two aunts both thought that the location of the building was too remote, and the environment of the yard was not good, although there were many houses, there were three main houses and three partial rooms, but they were too old, and the yard was too messy, and there were many broken bricks and tiles and timber that the landlord was reluctant to throw away, and the yard was occupied so that it was only more than four meters wide and seven or eight meters long, and the rent was still expensive. Persuade her to take another look.

Yun Susu was very satisfied with the courtyard. She now has a bunch of gold, silver, pearls, and purple ginseng, but she can't take them out to exchange them for the start-up capital to open the store. She was afraid that others would investigate her and suspect that those things were not coming from the right way, so she planned to take out a few small pieces of rosewood furniture from the lotus house as samples, buy some good wood and make it according to the style, carve it carefully, mass produce it, and then find a merchant to sell it. If there is a suitable buyer, the large pieces of rosewood furniture can also be sold, and some money can be scraped together to open the store first, and then slowly take other things outside.

In this case, that remote courtyard is really more suitable.

She has good art skills, before entering Beijing, she had split a bulky rosewood frame in the underground cellar of the lotus house, carved Yanyun eighteen horses and twenty-eight stars for Yuncheng, and made a piano table, dressing table, dressing box, and toy box for Yunqing.

After separating from the two aunts, Yun Susu immediately contacted the intermediary to sign the contract. Rented the small courtyard. The lease was for one year, and the landlord insisted on refusing to rent for a short period of time.

After paying the deposit and the rent for the first quarter, the money in the bank card is less than 100,000.

Yun Susu called and asked her cousin Xie Ranran, who sells high-end furniture, and got the addresses of several furniture factories, and was going to find some broken wood from the manufacturers.

The cousin volunteered to drive her: "I know them well, and they won't dare to kill you when I go." On the phone, my cousin showed great enthusiasm and friendship.

My cousin is the youngest daughter of my second aunt, three years younger than Yun Susu, and she is thirty-three years old this year, but she is not in a hurry to get married and start a family, and she blindly works her career.

This cousin is smart and lively, good-looking, quite liked by parents and friends, pampered since childhood, walking with his head up, and flicking his long ponytail, he is very angry.

Yun Susu has always envied her for being able to win the favor of her parents when she was a child.

When Yun Susu was eight or nine years old, the unit of the second aunt and the second aunt organized an overseas investigation and sent their sisters back to Puyang to be taken care of by Mrs. Yun. Cousin Xie Yuanyuan was thirteen or fourteen years old at the time, and she couldn't look down on the two of them, so Yun Susu and her cousin Xie Ranran became good friends.

Although Yun Susu is also the youngest in the family and the only daughter, she has been neglected by her parents since she was a child, and she has not been able to raise a little bit of arrogance. In those days of being good friends, because she was really envious of her cousin and two brothers being favored in front of her parents, she secretly learned her cousin's walking, talking, and shaking her hair, hoping that she could become cute, so as to share that her parents had poured even a little bit of love and spoiling on their two brothers, but they kept asking for it. At this time, I was discovered by my cousin again, and this time my cousin seemed to be poked into the laughing nest, and when I saw her, I joked and laughed non-stop. Yun Susu was annoyed and angry, and refused to pay attention to her anymore. The cousin knew that she was really annoyed, so she apologized repeatedly, but she could no longer coax the little cousin back. The arrogant cousin was naturally sad and angry after being so contemptuous of others, and refused to return to Puyang for several years.

Now that they are both grown up, those embarrassing childhood memories have long been like smoke, and they have laughed at them, and her cousin has treated her as warm and friendly as when she was a child.

The two of them went to several large furniture factories, spent more than 50,000 yuan, and picked a trunk full of valuable wood that the furniture factory could not use, and even the back seat was full.

When my cousin sent Yun Susu and a cart of wood back to the small courtyard, she frowned at the dirty environment and the messy piles of debris in the courtyard, and hesitated again and again when she said goodbye: "Sister Susu, you can do the small furniture you said, and don't make it difficult for yourself if you can't do it." Come to me when you are done, I will help you sell and see, try to raise the price for you, and make a reputation; if you really can't come to me, our company has counters in many shopping malls, if you can't do it, just do it with me, and I will leave you a counter manager position. ”

Yun Susu was a little moved, and said with a smile: "Thank you Ranran." I'll show you what I've made before. ”

From the inside of the main room, I took out a few small items such as dressing boxes, mirror frames, and lampstands.

When my cousin saw it, her eyes were immediately attracted:

"Oh my God, Sister Susu, is this really carved by you? This is all ancient carving, right? Where did you learn it? Great! This is furniture, it is simply the most exquisite work of art! No, I will order all your little furniture in the future! Sister Susu, you must take care of my business, we are the dearest sisters!" stretched out his hand and waited for Yun Susu.

Yun Susu slapped her with a smile. I feel a warmth and appropriateness that has been taken care of, from emotions to self-esteem. This cousin is really a shrewd girl, and she is also kind, and she is also very friendly to her, and people like this can lead her into the Tao when the opportunity comes in the future, without exposing the lotus house.

Yun Su was quick and ran out of scraps of wood after two weeks. She carved precious rosewood and yellow pear, wenge wood, sour branch wood, etc., into large and small makeup boxes, mirror frames, trays, ornaments, lampstands, pen holders, etc., hollowed out, carved meticulously, exquisite and perfect; the small pieces taken out were carved into complete sets of mythological stories and characters in novels, as well as cartoon animals, small ornaments, and small toys; the furniture factory also gave them some medium wood by the way, these materials are not so broken, she made a few tea cabinets, small tables, After running out of wood, she scooped up some bamboo roots, willow roots, and birch roots on the Internet, and took out a batch of cups, dishes, dishes, water ladles, trays and other things. These things are either meticulously carved or natural, so she didn't even brush the varnish, the joints were all mortise and tenon, and a nail was useless at all.

The price of these small things is set very high, but because of the exquisiteness and simplicity, it has attracted many rich and idle buyers, and Ran Ran has to come every two days to get the goods and urge them once. Yun Susu couldn't even guarantee the time to cultivate, but it was still in short supply.
