Reborn 99 Days Later, Becoming a Landlady and Getting into Tsinghua and Peking Universities

By the time the four of them dragged their things home, it was almost 9:4.

Let's not even talk about Xu Yaozu.

Hua Lichu and her two grandchildren got up at four or five in the morning and have been busy until now.

They're either on a train, buying goods; or selling goods.

After a whole day like this, I'm absolutely exhausted.

"Here, this is the agreed-upon 20 yuan salary."

As for your sales commission, I'll have to reconcile the accounts later. I'll give it to you when I get back to school after the holiday, okay?

After Xu Yaozu finished delivering the items, Hua Lichu said weakly.

Xu Yaozu glanced at Hua Lichu's forehead and saw that her bangs were already stuck together with sweat from her tension and busyness, hanging messily on her forehead. He quickly nodded:

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. I'll head back now? See you around this time tomorrow evening?"

After seeing Xu Yaozu off, Hua Lichu rested on the table for a while, then quickly mustered her energy and looked at Hua Antao with bright eyes.

Hua Antao smiled gently.

Hua Yuansheng brought two bowls of noodles into the house: "Are you starving? Hurry up and eat some noodles to fill your stomach."

All day long, except for breakfast which I ate at home and was very full.

Because I was in a hurry, I just bought something from a roadside grocery store for lunch to tide me over.

I didn't feel hungry until I smelled the food.

The moment Hua Lichu smelled the aroma of noodles, her stomach rumbled loudly.

"You guys eat first, there's more in the pot..."

Neither of the sisters immediately picked up their chopsticks. One got up and went outside, while the other brought out a chair and helped Hua Yuansheng sit down.

"Hey, I'm not hungry yet..."

"Grandpa, did you eat iron? You've been busy for so long, how could you not be hungry?" Hua Lichu said with a smile.

Hua Antao placed a large bowl of noodles in front of Hua Yuansheng: "Let's eat together! We'll count the money after we finish!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I can't wait to know exactly how much money I made today."

Upon hearing this, Hua Yuansheng no longer cared about pushing and shoveling food into his mouth. He quickly picked up his chopsticks and began shoveling food into his mouth.

Xu Yaozu held the 20 yuan he had just received in his hand, but did not put it directly into his pocket.

Instead, he took out his wallet, carefully put in twenty yuan, and then took out three yuan in change.

"You little rascal, didn't you go to see your grandparents?"

Your grandparents just called and said you came back without even going inside?

As soon as Xu Yaozu entered the door, he was greeted by his father's shrewish roar.

Xu Yaozu rubbed his face, wiping away the fatigue, and approached his mother with a grin:

"Mom, I bought you a gift. Can you guess what it is?"

Xu's mother exclaimed in surprise, "You bought me a gift? I never would have guessed!"

"Take a guess!"

"food?"

"No! Ta-da! Look, do you like it?"

Xu Yaozu took his hands out from behind his back.

Xu's mother's eyes widened suddenly: "A silk scarf? Bought for me?"

"Correct!"

When he saw this scarf at the wholesale market today, he felt it would be perfect for his mother.

Just then, Hua Lichu made a suggestion, asking him to help model and transport the goods home, offering him 20 yuan a day.

A separate commission is awarded for clothing sold.

He suddenly had a brilliant idea and decided to buy his parents a gift.

Expensive ones are unaffordable, but a small silk scarf is just right.

Seeing his wife beaming with joy, Xu's father snorted coldly: "Is this why you didn't go to your grandparents' house?"

"Hmph, they certainly know how to use other people's money to curry favor, but it's still using my money."

Xu Yaozu shoved another gift into his father's arms, looking resentful, and said:

"You're really wrong! I didn't use the money you gave me. This is what I earned myself while doing work for someone today."

The two gifts totaled 17 yuan, and after a hard day's work, he only had 3 yuan left!

When Mr. Xu opened the package in his hand, he found that it was actually a belt.

This was the first time Xu Yaozu had bought gifts for the two of them.

Mr. Xu was secretly delighted, but outwardly he said dismissively, "You earned this money yourself? What kind of job can earn this much in a day?"

"That's none of your business." Xu Yaozu turned his face away arrogantly. "Didn't you always want me to learn business from you? I agreed. When do we start?"

Mr. and Mrs. Xu looked at each other and saw the same shock in each other's eyes.

"Aren't you unwilling?"

"I've changed my mind... I think doing business is quite fun."

After Xu Yaozu finished speaking, he saw his parents' exaggerated expressions and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, since he had previously been absolutely unwilling to do so.

She touched the hair on her head, her ears turning slightly red: "I'm tired, I'm going to take a shower first."

After saying that, she quickly went back to her room without waiting for her parents' reaction.

Xu's father stared in disbelief at Xu Yaozu's retreating figure:

"Honey, am I still dreaming?"

I was surprised to hear that my son had asked to learn how to do business with me.

"Hiss~ What are you doing?"

"Does it hurt?"

Xu's father nodded without hesitation.

“That’s definitely not a dream. I’ve heard that you can’t feel pain when you’re dreaming,” Xu’s mother explained.

Mr. Xu rubbed his arm, which had been pinched red: "You didn't have to use so much force..."

Hehe, our son has suddenly become enlightened.

No, he's back so late, he must be hungry. I'll go get him something to eat..."

Xu's mother was also happy.

Both she and Xu's father were only children, and they only had one son, Xu Yaozu.

The family has accumulated considerable wealth through generations of hard work.

But Xu Yaozu had absolutely no interest in doing business.

She and her husband were so worried that their hair turned white.

Unexpectedly, the situation took a sudden turn, and Xu Yaozu changed his mind.

OK!

OK!

that is really good!

However, Xu Yaozu's sudden change must mean something happened.

No, she has to thank the person who made her son change his mind!

Inside the rented room, the three generations of the family quickly cleaned the table after finishing their meal.

After a flurry of calculations, Hua Antao couldn't hide her shock and exclaimed, "I actually made a thousand yuan!"

"What? So many?" Hua Yuansheng exclaimed in surprise.

Hua Lichu raised an eyebrow: "You mean tonight's profits, right? Haven't you deducted costs yet?"

Hua Antao slapped her forehead, looking annoyed: "Right! I completely forgot to calculate the costs..."

I'm ecstatic to have made so much money in one night!

After a detailed review of the accounts, Hua Antao said again:

"We sold a total of 6 skirts, 10 pants, and 8 coats tonight."

There were also matching accessories... which made up about one-eighth of all the goods.

I just roughly calculated the cost of this part, and it's around 350.

That means we made 650 tonight!

As for Xu Yaozu's salary, we'll calculate it after all the money is received.

Even though they had already anticipated it, Hua Yuansheng and Hua Lichu still couldn't help but gasp when they heard the number 650.

Hua Yuansheng didn't even want to sleep anymore; he wished he could go back to setting up his stall right now.

What's there to be tired about!

He's so energetic right now he could kill a bull!

After the initial excitement subsided, Hua Lichu frowned: "Selling like this, the return on investment is too slow."

I'm going to buy a shop the day after tomorrow. Let me think of a way to get the money back quickly.
