Chapter 180 - 180

Chapter 180 PlanWhen Yun Ting brought Duan Xingye into the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, her sister was busy buying things and didn't notice them immediately.It was Aunt Wang with sharp eyes who spotted her. "Oh! Ting Ting is here! She's really grown up so much! She's become even more beautiful."Her loud voice immediately drew the attention ofthe Supply and Marketing Cooperative, mainly because the two of them were also very good-looking."Aunt Wang, you look younger and younger! You're still so energetic.""Haha...you little rascal, you're so sweet-talking. What energy? You might as well just say I have a loud voice."Aunt Wang glanced at the handsome young man standing next to Yun Ting, then winked at Yun Ting, " Ting Ting, aren't you going to introduce him?""My boyfriend, Duan Xingye."Duan Xingye politely smiled and greeted Aunt Wang.Yun Shu was overjoyed to see her younger sister arrive, but since there were still customers, she didn't rush to speak. However, her eyes kept secretly observing the tall man standing next toYun Ting.Duan Xingye naturally noticed, and nodded and smiled at her as a greeting.She couldn't wait to leave as soon as her customers finished shopping."Little sister...""Sis, this is your future brother-in-law, what do you think?""Hello, ma'am."To be honest, he still felt a little awkward calling someone younger than himself "big sister"."Hello."Aside from exchanging greetings, the two had nothing else to say. Yun Ting chatted with her older sister for a few minutes, but then another guest arrived, so they stopped talking.After saying goodbye to her older sister, the two left the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Yun Ting suggested that they go see a movie instead, since they couldn't just wander around aimlessly.Duan Xingye didn't care; as long as he was with her, he was fine with anything.After watching the movie, I went straight home. My older sister and her family were also going home for dinner that night, so I had to help my mom cook in advance.When they got home, their older brother and sister-in-law, along with their child, had already returned. After exchanging greetings, Yun Tingwent to the kitchen to help, while Duan Xingyenaturally spent time getting to know his future father-in-law and brother-in-law.Yun Zhao was quite curious about Capital City. Although he was going there soon, he still wanted to ask. Duan Xingye was not impatient and chatted with him about the local customs and current situation of Capital City.Duan Xingye was surprised to learn that he wanted to open a recycling station there to collect scrap. When he learned that it was Yun Ting's idea, he understood. He didn't show any disgust, which made Yun Zhao feel relieved. Actually, he was testing him.How could Duan Xingye not see it? However, he truly didn't show the slightest disdain. Although he wasn't in business, he could still see some business opportunities after the policy liberalization, and collecting scrap metal was indeed a viable option.In his view, there is no distinction between noble and lowly professions, except for those illegitimate ones."Brother, don't worry, I won't look at these people with any prejudice. I believe that everyone, regardless of their profession, deserves respect as long as they have earned their money through hard work. There is no distinction between high and low status. I don't think there's anything shameful about self-employed individuals. They're not stealing or robbing.""Hoshino, I like hearing you say that. I'm relieved that you think that way. What about your family...?""My family all know that Xiaoyun came to the clothing store, and my mom and sister even went to support her when it opened."Yun Zhao was finally relieved. He didn't want his younger sister to be disliked by her in-laws because of these things.Waiting for Yun Shu When Jiang Dong broughtChild over, Jiang Dong naturally joined their conversation. The three grown men were meeting for the first time, yet they were able to chat quite congenially. Even Father Yun, who was standing to the side, could only listen and couldn't get a word in edgewise, feeling extremely frustrated.Xiao Rui Xiao Zhi obediently called Duan Xingye " Uncle," which made Duan Xingye so happy that he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He took out red envelopes from his pocket and gave one to each person, including the twins andYun Zhao's baby.The little girl accepted the red envelope and sweetly said, "Thank you, Uncle."Xiao Rui Xiao Zhi: "Thank you, Uncle..."Duan Xingye lost himself amidst the constant calls of "uncle" and "aunt" from these little kids.There was no rule against talking while eating or sleeping; people chatted as they ate."Sis, have you ever thought about opening your own shop?""This...I haven't thought about it yet!""Sister, brother-in-law, have you noticed that there are more and more shops and stalls opening up outside? With the policy opening up,the Supply and Marketing Cooperative isn't as busy as before, is it? Closing down is inevitable, so you need to make plans.""This... even state-owned businesses can close down?""It's only a matter of time. Right now, we're encouraging the development of individual businesses. Once receipts are abolished and things can be bought anywhere, who will still go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative?""Little sister, what kind of business do you think we can do?" Jiang Dong asked directly. He knew that his sister-in-law was a smart woman, and since she brought it up, she must have a plan."Do you want to go to Capital City? If not, you can open a clothing store in our county and get your goods from me. The prices will definitely be discounted. However, you certainly won't earn as much in the county as you would in Capital City; the economic levels are completely different.""Let's stay here at home for now! We have a family here, and we don't know how they'll be doing over there. It would be too much trouble for you.""Okay, you can discuss it first, and then contact me when you've made a decision."Yun Ting and his family were going to Capital City on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, soafter discussing it with their parents, Jiang Dongand his wife came to Yun Ting to look at shops together."Has everything been discussed and agreed upon?"Actually, Yun Ting wasn't surprised that they reached an agreement so quickly. She knew that her brother-in-law's parents were quite open-minded and not the old-fashioned type, so they would probably agree."We've talked to my parents and they said, 'Young people can try whatever they want, the family will support them.' That's why we came to find you and go check out that shop! With you here, we feel more at ease."Then she laughed and said, "Your sister tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep well. She urged me to come and wake you up as soon as it was light this morning."Upon hearing this, Yun Shu immediately bristled, "What? Aren't you the same? How dare you say that about me?""Haha... Stop undermining each other, brother-in-law. Have you noticed if there are any empty houses in the middle of the street?""By the way, there are two empty houses over there, but I don't know the specifics.""Then what are we waiting for? Let's go take a look now."The four of them went out together, pushing two bicycles.Upon reaching the center of the street, Jiang Dong indeed saw a shop with its door closed and a "For Sale" sign on the door. Peeking through the crack in the door, he saw that the interior was empty but square, about twenty square meters in size. The large windows facing the street were very bright, and passersby had to walk past the door."This shop is really nice...""This spot! With so many people coming and going, if you're doing clothing business, people are sure to see it!""I heard the homeowner's name is Old Zhang. Should we go and ask him about it?""Okay, let's strike while the iron is hot."Before they could even look for it, the landlord, Old Zhang, arrived shortly after on a tricycle, its cargo bed half-loaded with odds and ends. Upon hearing they wanted to buy the house, he rubbed his hands together and said, "To be honest, I'm leaving next week, and I need to get rid of this shop urgently. If you're really interested, the house, including the small storage room in the yard, will cost you 1200 yuan. I've brought the deed; we can transfer the ownership today."
