Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 123 Buying a New Kiln
Li Huifen was stunned. After realizing what was happening, she pushed the money back. "No, no, no, Xunli, we can't take this money! Manyu and Manyu have become increasingly happy and lively in your house. We are already very grateful to you. We even considered not renting the porcelain kiln to you before, and we were already very sorry for you."

Li Xunli smiled and said, "Aunt Huifen, this money wasn't paid by me. It was paid by the person who wanted to buy our porcelain kiln. I asked for an extra 10,000 yuan to give to you. Just take it with confidence!"

When Li Huifen heard this, she paused and said, "Then, then don't you have any at home?"

"We have asked for some other compensation for our own family. This money is more useful to your family now, so we won't ask for anything else from you." Li Xunli said without hesitation.

After hearing Shen Qingqing's deception many times, Li Xunli has now learned the same.

After listening to her, Li Huifen grabbed Li Xunli's hand and counted out five bundles. "Then each of us will get half. We got 50,000 yuan from selling the porcelain kiln, which is more than enough!"

Since Li Huifen refused to take any more, Li Xunli had no choice but to take the remaining 5,000 yuan back and wait to give it to Chen Manyu as salary or bonus in the future.

"Xunli, there's one more thing. Qingqing from your family said before that Manyu can go back to school. What exactly is he going to do?"

After Li Huifen accepted the money, she eagerly asked about matters related to her grandson.

The elderly now know that people outside need to have a high school diploma to work, which is different from the past when they could become a teacher with only an elementary school diploma.

If possible, they certainly hope that their grandson can work for Li Xunli's family for the rest of his life and just have enough to eat and live. But if Li Xunli's family becomes bigger and bigger and needs someone with higher education, the old couple also hope that Chen Manyu can try to get a higher degree so that he can have the opportunity to find another job in the future.

"This..." Li Xunli was stunned for a moment, then said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Aunt Huifen, Qingqing is more clear about this matter, I really don't know what to do..."

"How about this, I'll bring her over to talk to you tomorrow, okay?"

Li Huifen nodded repeatedly: "Okay!"

After returning from Chen Manyu's house, Li Xunli went to Shen Qingqing's room to look for her. "Qingqing, do you remember when you asked the teacher about Manyu being able to go back to school?"

Shen Qingqing raised her head from the test paper, rolled her eyes to the left, and thought for a while before saying, "I can't quite remember. It seems like I had to provide some kind of certificate, some application materials, and then go to school to take a test or something like that."

"What's wrong, Mom? Brother Manyu wants to go back to school?"

Li Xunli explained what happened today when she went to Chen Manyu's house. "So maybe after your Aunt Huifen got some money, she decided to let Manyu go back to school."

Shen Qingqing nodded and said, "I have to ask Mr. Zesong for the answer, but I don't have Mr. Zesong's phone number."

"It's okay, Mom will look for it. If we ask a few more people, we will definitely be able to find it!" said Li Xunli.

After asking several times, she actually found Chen Zesong's phone number. After Li Xunli wrote it down, she did not call him directly. Instead, she planned to wait until tomorrow when she went to Chen Manyu's house and call him in front of Chen Manyu and his family.

This way, any questions can be asked promptly.

The construction of the new porcelain factory was proceeding very quickly, so Li Xunli had to deal with a new task: how to select a suitable new kiln.

According to their current scale, it can be considered medium-sized, so normally a gas kiln would be more suitable.

However, Li Xunli herself prefers to use an electric kiln, which is more convenient in terms of operation and temperature control. Moreover, there is no need to hire a dedicated person to fire the kiln, and the craftsmen can operate it themselves.

But the problem is that the electric kiln has a small capacity but consumes a lot of electricity. Comparing the two, it is actually not cost-effective.

"Mom, then you can buy four or five electric kilns to make some customized porcelain in small quantities, and then use gas kilns for those mass-produced ones." Shen Qingqing felt stuffy in the room, so she sat in the living room, cut a plate of watermelon, and ate it while doing the test paper.

When he heard Li Xunli and Li Xunjin discussing the purchase of a kiln on the phone and they were hesitating and unable to make a decision, he casually gave a suggestion.

Li Xunli slapped her head when she heard this and said, "Yes, I was wrong. You can buy both. Just make sure the quantity is right. Qingqing is smart!"

Shen Qingqing paused for a moment while forking the watermelon, and decided to accept her mother's compliment in silence.

After deciding what kind of kiln they wanted, Li Xunjin contacted the son of his fifth ancestor, the elder who was trapped in another province with them due to a landslide last time, and asked where he could order a kiln with a good price-performance ratio.

The other party quickly sent an address.

In addition to Li Xunli, the person in charge, having to go and choose the kiln, she also had to go with the person in charge of the construction team, so that the kiln and the porcelain factory could be combined in the most reasonable way.

However, we still have to solve the problem of Chen Manyu going to school first.

The next day, Shen Qingqing also went to Chen Manyu's house with Li Xunli.

Chen Zesong's phone number was saved in Li Xunli's mobile phone, and then she called from Chen Manyu's home phone.

A few months passed, and Chen Zesong's memory was still very good. He had not forgotten what Shen Qingqing had asked him before.

This time, he explained to Li Huifen and her husband in more detail what Chen Manyu should do if he wanted to go back to school.

Shen Qingqing also helped explain the patching from time to time.

The phone call lasted for more than half an hour before the old couple finally figured out what to do.

"The new semester is the new school year. Grandma Manyu, if you want to bring Manyu back to school again, you should prepare all the information. Once you are ready, give me a call and we will go to the school to complete the formalities. In this way, when school starts, Manyu can go to school directly." Chen Zesong said patiently.

Li Huifen naturally agreed quickly and said that she would prepare the materials right away.

Even though Chen Manyu's issues were resolved, Li Xunli drove Shen Qingqing and Shen Yangyang to the Li family.

Shen Yangyang wants to stay in the Li family, while Shen Qingqing wants to go with her mother and uncle to buy a kiln.

Li Xunjin drove the mother and daughter to the porcelain factory to pick up the person in charge, and then went to the place where the kilns were sold.
