The all-round housekeeper is a stick

"Auntie, don't bother. It's more convenient to buy an electric stove. If you buy an electric stove, I can pay the electricity bill myself." Lin Mumu didn't want to use a coal stove. She would owe their family a favor if she bought a stove or honeycomb coal.

She didn't like cooking, so there was no need for her to owe them a favor just for a meal or two.

"No need, we agreed that accommodation is provided, and of course you don't have to pay for electricity and water yourself." After Xi Yanchuan said this, he pulled his mother's clothes to remind her not to talk nonsense anymore.

The electricity bill is 7 cents and the water bill is 1 cents. How much can she use by herself?

"No, the electric stove is an extra burden. Forget it, I will pay the electricity bill here from now on. I also want to replace the light in my room with a higher wattage one, so it will be brighter." Lin Mumu didn't want to talk to them about the electricity and water bills anymore, and the final decision was made.

After leaving the yard, Lin Mumu thought about renting another yard nearby. When she worked with Yi Changshan and his team before, they didn't bother with the electricity bill, so she ignored it for a while.

However, there aren't many courtyards around here, so it's hard to find one right away. I'll just live here first and look around later.

"Mom, please stop arguing with her about the electricity and water bills. It makes people uncomfortable to hear you nitpicking like that."

Now it was Chen Lan's turn to feel uncomfortable. "I didn't say anything. Electric stoves consume a lot of electricity. Besides, is it okay for me to say something?"

Xi Yanchuan had a headache: "Mom, she is not from our family. She is just a cooperative car assembler. She is not even an employee. You, please don't interfere too much..."

Seeing his mother's expression change, Xi Yanchuan quickly said in a flattering manner, "I'm also worried that saying too much will affect our relationship. After all, she and we have no relationship at all. If she's unhappy and slacks off all day long, and it takes several days to assemble a bicycle, then wouldn't it be your son—me—who will suffer the loss?"

Chen Lan also knew this was the case. Although she was still unhappy, she nodded in agreement. She said that if Lin Mumu bought an electric stove or something like that, she would definitely not say anything.

However, even if her eldest son didn't say anything, she wouldn't say much. Lin Mumu said that she paid the electricity bill herself.

"By the way, I'm going to your dad's scrap yard to pick up some stuff today. I'm paying for it first, a total of 65 yuan. Remember to give it to me when you have enough money, so that your two sisters-in-law won't make a fuss if they find out."

Xi Yanchuan immediately counted out 65 yuan from his bag and handed it to her.

This money cannot be delayed, otherwise it will become difficult to say whether this business will belong to him in the future.

"Mom, when you go to deliver food to my dad, if you have time, just stop by and take a look. If you don't have time, then there's no need. You don't have to go there too often, otherwise my two sisters-in-law will find out and want to come over. This is my own business, and I don't want them to think that I'm cheating you two out of your money."

The Xi family had split up. Xi Yong and Chen Lan lived with their eldest son. They usually got along well, but they had a calculating sister-in-law who constantly monitored their two families, fearing that their pension and personal savings would be divided between the two families.

So when it comes to money, Xi Yanchuan never delays.

After sending the old lady home, Xi Yanchuan went back to have a meal and told his wife's family what he had done today, the places he had visited, and asked about the prices of those things.

Although Dong Yanan didn't quite understand what he was saying, she knew Xi Yanchuan was very driven now, just as passionate as when he first opened the repair shop.

"Just go for it. Use all the family savings. It doesn't matter even if the savings are all gone. We don't have any children yet, and both of us have jobs and salaries, so we won't starve to death."

Dong Yanan has always supported Xi Yanchuan's choices, whether he wants to quit his job or open a store.

Xi Yanchuan was moved and held his wife's hand without saying anything. After dinner, he hurried out.

The next morning, Lin Mumu went out for a meal. After returning to the yard, he took a coverall, put on special gloves bought from the system mall, and started the disassembly work.

Chen Lan is not free to come today. Her son and daughter will be coming with their families to reunite today. She needs to buy groceries and cook for them.

But she was also worried that Lin Mumu would not start working and would wander around again. After all, even if she couldn't assemble the car, she could still get 10 yuan a month from her son.

So after seeing Dong Yanan, Chen Lan sent her to take a look at the rented yard, under the pretext of a tour.
