Rebirth in the 90s: Pack up and prepare for demolition

Grandma Wang was a little confused. Huh? Didn’t she just finish shopping?

Ye Ke looked at her sincerely and repeated the same words he used to persuade his family to buy a house.

After listening to this, Grandma Wang was a little moved but also a little hesitant. She thought for a while and said, "I have to go back and discuss it with Xiaoxi."

Ye Ke didn't mind. It was normal to think about such a large expense for a while.

Grandma Wang really didn't fool Ye Ke and brought Xiaoxi to see her the next afternoon.

"We moved this morning and just finished packing. Xiaoxi said she wanted to come and thank Xiaoke."

Ye Xiaoxi smiled shyly, her well-behaved face full of sincerity, "Sister Xiao Ke, my grandma told me everything, and I think you are absolutely right."

"It just so happens that I'm also worried about the family's money. My grandmother wasn't home yesterday, and that man thought no one was home, so he was sneaking around outside the door, looking like he wanted to steal something."

The man she was talking about was her stepfather.

She didn't even dare to close her eyes last night, for fear that the man had come to scout the place during the day and was planning to take action at night.

When she heard her grandmother's advice from Sister Xiao Ke, she wished she could immediately turn all her money into a house so that it wouldn't be stolen.

Ye Ke, Ye Wenhui, and their aunt took them to buy a house. Jinshui Bay was very close, only a fifteen-minute walk away. The grandparents looked at each other and nodded, thinking that collecting rent would be very convenient in the future.

On the way, the two of them explained that they had received a total of 460,000 yuan from the demolition, and now they had 280,000 yuan left. They planned to use 200,000 yuan to buy a house, and the remaining money plus rent would be their future living expenses.

The person who received them was still the same property consultant from last time. My aunt asked him to call the manager over. After some discussion, the manager finally gave them the same discount as last time, 85% off.

Following Ye Ke's suggestion, the grandparents added 4,000 yuan and bought four one-bedroom apartments. After taking possession of the houses at the end of the year and adding some furniture, they could rent them out.

Ye Xiaoxi asked Ye Ke how much the rent would cost, and after hearing that, she decided to rent it for 80 yuan a month, so that she could receive 320 yuan every month, which was almost a month's salary.

This way, I don’t have to worry about what to do if my grandma and I lose our jobs.

Grandma Wang also shared Ye Xiaoxi's concerns.

"Xiaoling? What do you do every day when you live in the city? I just want to find a job while my old bones can still move."

Grandma Wang really trusts my aunt. Whenever she has something to ask, the first thing she asks is my aunt.

But this time, her aunt betrayed her trust and smiled awkwardly, "Ah? I'm learning to drive recently. I haven't found a job."

It was nothing for everyone to learn driving together, but now that she has been singled out for this question, I suddenly feel a little unmotivated. What's going on?

Grandma Wang didn't think much of it and just praised him a few times, "Learning to drive is a good thing. You can become a driver in the future."

This was not perfunctory. In his era, being a driver was a stable job and the most popular profession.

My aunt felt even more embarrassed. She wiped her face and didn't explain much.

Although the family has money and a house, there will be a lot of rental income in the future.

But with Grandma Wang's words in the background, she suddenly felt that she was indeed a little bit out of control. She only knew how to eat, drink and have fun every day, and never thought about the future.

Now I can learn to drive and have things to do every day, but what about the future? Will I just sit at home every day?

"I have to find something to do!"

My aunt came to Ye Ke's house and made a solemn declaration, her face full of fighting spirit.

She thought about it for a long time at home, and then asked Ye Wenguo to discuss it, but they couldn't come up with anything. Ye Wenguo asked her to ask Ye Ke.

In the past, no one would have asked Ye Ke about these matters. But since Bao Huangshan, Ye Ke has participated in every major decision of the family, and has also made many effective suggestions. Everyone's trust in Ye Ke is growing day by day.

Ye Ke didn't feel this deep trust. She thought her aunt was here to inform her. After chatting for a long time, she realized, huh? Is she here to discuss something?

Before this, she had never thought that her aunt would be confused about the future. You know, her aunt's fruit shop business was very prosperous in her previous life, so she always thought that every step her aunt took was firm, confident and planned.

I didn't expect that my aunt didn't have this idea at the moment, so I have to remind her.

"You guys open a fruit shop?"

"It just so happens that my uncle used to deliver goods to the market, so he knows a lot of fruit farmers. That way, we can cut out the middleman and get the goods directly from the source, which will be much cheaper."

"Aren't there several shops outside our community that haven't been sold yet? It's just right to open here, close to home."

"There's no fruit store nearby, so I have to go to the mall every time I want to buy fruit. If you open one here, I'm sure you'll have no shortage of customers."

Like the last time she went to buy fruit, didn’t she suffer the same fate?

The more my aunt listened, the brighter her eyes became! She clapped her hands excitedly on her thighs! Yes!

Why didn't she think of it? She'd said she was an expert in this area! She wouldn't be fooled. Ye Wenguo had channels, so she didn't have to buy the goods at a high price in the market. The purchase price was low, so wouldn't the profit be high?

The more she listened to it, the more lucrative this business seemed! She thought it would work!

My aunt is very decisive and she does what she says. She is about to go back and discuss it with my uncle.

Ye Ke smiled and shook his head. When he turned around, he saw Ye Wenhui sitting on the sofa with an expressionless face.

There was an unhappy aura all over my body, as if I needed someone to coax me.

Ye Ke was confused, "What's wrong? Are you not happy that your sister-in-law is here?"

Ye Wenhui has no problem with her sister-in-law. She does have a problem with Ye Ke, but she doesn't want to say it directly.

"How can I not be happy? You've come up with all the good ideas and done all the good things. Why should I be unhappy?"

Ye Ke felt even more confident after hearing this and said confidently, "Yeah, I think so too. Then why are you so sullen?"

"What's wrong with me?!" Ye Wenhui was furious when she saw Ye Ke's clueless look. "You're always thinking about this and that, one moment it's Grandma Wang's house, the next it's your aunt's fruit shop. Why don't you worry about me? I'm free too!"

Ye Wenhui was quite satisfied with Ye Ke's behavior of giving advice to others, and even felt a little proud. Look, the daughter I raised is just like me, smart and enthusiastic.

But, could Ye Ke take care of her first before taking care of others? She wasn't jealous of others, she just felt that Ye Ke didn't value her.

Ye Ke felt very innocent, "Aren't you studying for your driver's license? Are you still learning baking?"

Ye Ke felt that this criticism came out of nowhere, as she thought she had already made arrangements for Ye Wenhui.

Ye Wenhui was still pricked up her ears in anticipation, but Ye Ke stopped talking after he finished speaking. "And then? That's it! What should I do after I finish my studies? Go help your aunt?"
