Reborn 1990: Running towards the life of a housewife

"I just came here not long ago. I came to the city to do some errands, so I stopped by to see how you are doing during this period. I heard from my parents that you are selling clothes and running a clothing business. How is the business?"

He took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag and handed one to Lin Zhe and Zhou Wei.

Zhou Wei thanked him.

Lin Zhe took it without smoking it, and clamped it on his ear, "It's okay, I'll find a way to make a living."

Lin Xu thought, it seems like it's really not that good. If he had made money, with his brother's temperament, he would have told it already.

"You're not going to finish the project in Yangcheng? Was the last project interrupted?"

The last time Lin Zhe came back, he boasted that he would earn fifty or sixty thousand for a new project. Lin Xu had always remembered it, so he asked about it.

Lin Zhe coughed twice and said vaguely: "I haven't done it yet. Let's talk about it later."

Lin Xu said it was a pity.

"If you ask me, you shouldn't have paid Wang Xiaojun so much money. Who in my hometown wouldn't say that you were taken advantage of?"

"Did your parents go back and talk?"

"How could I not tell them? The day after my parents returned, they went to Wang Xiaojun's village and scolded his family. This made the incident known to everyone and made the Wang family lose face."

As he spoke, he slammed the table hard, "Damn! This Wang Xiaojun is really nothing! He dares to bully our Lin family. When he comes back, I will punish him!"

Lin Xu's voice was so loud that even Shen Xiaojun in the kitchen could hear it. Seeing Xiaowei and Xiaoyue lying at the door with their ears pricked up to eavesdrop, he stepped forward and patted their heads, "Tell daddy and they are ready to eat."

The two sisters ran to the living room and said, "Dad, it's time to eat."

After finishing speaking, he ran back to the kitchen to help serve the dishes and rice.

Lin Zhe stood up and moved the table against the wall with Zhou Wei to make room on the other side, and then put away the things on the table.

At the dinner table, Lin Xu chatted with Zhou Wei again, and then he learned that Lin Zhe was selling clothes and took Xiao Zhou with him.

"Then your business should be good."

If business is slow, there is no need for two people to guard a small counter.

Zhou Wei glanced at Lin Zhe and said, "Brother Lin is helping me. He was afraid that I would lose my livelihood, so he took me to work with him."

The corners of Shen Xiaojun's mouth curved, but Xiao Zhou could still speak.

"Xiao Zhou, eat meat. You guys have to stand at the counter all day. You have to eat well when you come back."

Zhou Wei said with a smile: "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Lin Zhe took a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, "You can tell me whether to help or not. I, Lin Zhe, am a moral person. I will be good to whoever treats me well. If something happened in Yangcheng, Xiao Zhou would always help me run away." He ran up and down and ignored me, Lin Zhe, when he saw that I was in a state of despair."

Who is good to me, who am I good to?

Shen Xiaojun wanted to sneer when he heard this, why haven't I seen you like this before?Like someone who was taken advantage of!

Lin Xu nodded: "You have to be like this. I was not at home those days, otherwise I would have gone to Yangcheng. If I had gone, if nothing else, Wang Xiaojun would not get a penny!"

Shen Xiaojun twitched his lips, "That's a pity. Lin Zhe committed the crime at the wrong time."

Lin Xu's hand holding the wine glass paused. Did he blame him for not going?

Lin Zhe laughed and said, "I won't talk about what happened. Come on, second brother, let's have a drink."

After dinner, Xiao Zhou rushed to wash the dishes. Shen Xiaojun went into the house to mix milk powder to feed his son. The two daughters watched his brother sucking milk.

"Mom, when will my brother walk?"

"Next year my brother will be walking."

"Then when will he speak? He hasn't even called me sister yet." Xiaowei pouted.

Xiaoyue shook her head, "My brother is stupid, I can speak when I'm his age."

Yaoyao, who was biting his pacifier and shaking his little feet, spit out his pacifier and looked at Xiaoyue blankly.

Shen Xiaojun smiled and said, "You see, my brother understood and got angry."

Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm sorry, brother. My brother is the smartest."

Yaoyao spit bubbles at her, held the bottle obediently and continued to eat.

Of the three children, Yaoyao is the easiest to take care of. He has rarely cried since he was born and has always been obedient. When he needs to be shushed, he will hum. Shen Xiaojun has to wash his diapers less frequently.

Unlike Xiao Wei, who was born as a grinder. In the past few years, she had to carry one on her back and drag one on her feet, making it difficult to cook.

In the living room, Lin Zhe and Lin Xu were talking. Shen Xiaojun listened with open ears while talking to the children.

"...I plan to build a house at home and build it. Everyone's life will be better. There are many houses being built throughout the year. This can definitely be done."

"...Someone has already contacted me. If it goes quickly, we will start construction after the Chinese New Year."

Lin Zhe: "That's good. Houses are always being built."

"Haha, I think so too. I'm not bragging. My vision must be better than those in the countryside! Where have I never been? I've been to Haicheng, Jincheng, Yangcheng, and Pengcheng. I've seen a lot of houses. If it's in my hands, I will definitely build it beautifully for them! My building was built by myself. Take a look, none of the nearby villages can be as beautiful as my house!"

Hearing this, Shen Xiaojun wanted to say that it was an exaggeration, it was just a simple building.

"...To do construction, you have to buy materials, such as lumber, steel bars, sand and gravel. I have a little money. See if you can get me 1 yuan..."

Sure enough, you are here to borrow money again, and nothing good will happen if you open your mouth!

Shen Xiaojun kept listening, afraid that Lin Zhe would agree again.

There was some silence in the living room. It took a while before Lin Zhe said: "Second brother, I bought a house this year, and Wang Xiaojun's incident happened again. I finally invested all the remaining money in the clothing business. Yesterday, I bought a house. After paying the rent for the counter,... I really can’t get the money out for a while.”

Lin Zhe's consistent style prevented Lin Xu from doubting his words, "If you don't have ten thousand..., what about five thousand? You can get half of it."

"The money is all on the goods..." Lin Zhe still didn't let go.

Lin Xu was a little dissatisfied and looked at the large refrigerator in the living room, "Forget it, I'll think of another way."

Lying on the bed, Lin Zhe tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

When he turned over again, Shen Xiaojun was so angry that he slapped him!

"If you don't want to sleep, go and sit outside. Don't disturb my rest. I was woken up by you just as I was about to fall asleep. Are you done?"

Lin Zhe sighed and whispered: "Actually, the second brother has to do something. As a brother, I should help him."

Shen Xiaojun gritted his teeth, "He is sleeping on the sofa right now. Go out and give him the money!"

Lin Zhe turned over again, "...I don't want to give it this time. I only had a few hundred yuan in Yangcheng, and I still worked as a contractor. He was at the right time and place at home, so why couldn't he do it? Let him figure it out on his own!"

Shen Xiaojun raised his eyebrows, yo!It’s so rare, it seems like you’ve become smarter!

"Don't act like you owe someone even though you haven't borrowed the money. Just think about it and go to bed quickly. You still have to do business tomorrow!"
