Yu Minjin knew a friend, who happened to take over a clothing factory in New City in the south. Yuan Chun acted as a go-between and introduced her two brothers to that friend; buying goods from his factory was twenty percent cheaper than for outsiders.
The two sisters-in-law were responsible for setting up stalls in Beijing.
The money they made in a month was no less than what her fast-food restaurant earned.
Once her two brothers started making money, Yuan Chun, well aware of future developments, not only invested heavily in Beijing's dilapidated houses herself but also persuaded her parents and two brothers to buy quite a few old houses.
A few years later, Yuan Chun and the Qin family became the first batch of residents displaced by demolition in Beijing, each holding several properties.
In this lifetime, Yuan Chun fulfilled her dream of becoming a landlady.
