Chapter 1463: Honest Woman 46
"If you are reluctant to sell your job, then let Dad apply for early retirement due to illness. Although the pension will be less than a normal retirement, it is not the best of both worlds. We have to choose a method that benefits ourselves. Mom, Dad will retire early, and you can do business with my dad. The profit you make in two years will definitely make up for the loss."
"Mom, I only sold clothes for half a month, and I bought a house and earned a year's salary. I sold clothes for a year and opened a clothing store, earning more than ten years' salary."
"Mom, business is a golden opportunity now. It all depends on whether you are willing to give up my dad's regular job. Mom, I heard that the textile factory where Yuanchun worked before is laying off employees. Although there has been no news of layoffs at the coal mine yet, I think it will happen sooner or later."
Shi's mother was worried at one moment and ambitious at another.
"Then I'll go back and discuss it with your father tonight."
“As a woman, she can’t make up her mind about such a big matter, so she still needs to discuss it with her husband.
A few days later, Yuanchun heard that her father had applied for retirement due to illness and received a monthly pension of 30 yuan. The family housing quota allocated by the coal mine was also transferred to someone else by her parents, and they received 500 yuan as the transfer fee.
With the money, Shi's father bought a cart and took Shi's mother to the countryside to collect dried goods, eggs, chickens, ducks, geese, grain and other items to sell.
The old couple collects one day and sells one day.
After a month, he actually bought a house in a poor area.
Recently, more and more people have been doing business in the poor areas. The rich open shops and the poor set up stalls, selling all kinds of things. Next to the well at the gate of Yuanchun, there is an old lady who often sells insoles and handkerchiefs, and occasionally a basket of eggs.
She said it was laid by the chickens raised by her country sister.
When everyone made money, they wanted to sell their adobe houses in the poor area and buy spacious and bright brick and tile houses to live in. Yuanchun took advantage of the fact that many people were selling their houses and bought two houses, which she rented out to others for two yuan a month.
When Lingling was two and a half years old, Shi Xiangnan finally got engaged. The other party was the daughter of the owner of a braised food shop next door to him. Her name was Xu Xue. She was twenty years old. She was average looking, but she had a pair of particularly bright eyes, which added three points to her beauty.
A few days after their engagement, the two went to get their marriage certificate and set up a simple banquet with a few tables.
After marriage, with Xu Xue running the shop, Yuanchun never went to her second brother's shop to help again.
When Lingling was five years old, Shi's father and mother opened a grocery store next to the vegetable market. Shi's father was responsible for going to the countryside to collect goods, while Shi's mother was responsible for running the store and selling goods.
When Lingling was six years old, the slum area was about to be demolished.
Yuanchun used five property certificates to demolish 18 houses, worth more than 30,000 yuan.
All members of the Shi family bought houses here. Each family got three houses and a large sum of money. After Shi's father got the money, he booked a store on the street in the new community next to the vegetable market.
Yuanchun also persuaded the Shi family to continue investing their money in real estate. She induced her parents and brothers to buy a house each in the second bungalow area that was about to be demolished.
Yuanchun bought three houses, living in one and renting out the other two.
She also bought two stores.
Three years later, the area was demolished again, and this time Yuanchun got seven houses for 160,000 yuan.
It was only the end of the 1980s, and Yuanchun had achieved financial freedom. She owned more than 20 houses and hundreds of thousands of yuan, enough to live a comfortable life.
