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

Hua Anshan raised his head, his fist clenched at his side trembling slightly.

"Pear, I'd like to take over your business in the county town. The tuition is 500 yuan, and we'll split the profits 70/30, you get 70% and I get 30%, okay?"

Hua Antao took out an account book from the room, flipped to the account specifically for ring toss, and slowly began to speak:

"After a period of rise and fall, the daily profit from ring toss has stabilized at around 25, down from the initial 36."

"How...how much?" Hua Anshan cried out in disbelief.

Hua Yuanqing's hands trembled slightly: "2...25? Every day?"

Good heavens, is this set made of gold? Can you really earn 25 a day?

25 a day, 30 days a month, wouldn't that be...?

Good heavens, I can't figure it out!

Hua Lichu saw through their thoughts at a glance and bluntly pointed out, "We can't set up our stall for more than 30 days a month. We can't go when it's windy or rainy."

"That's quite a lot!"

"30 days is not enough, 25 days is about right."

Hua Yuanqing wiped his face.

Hua Anshan nervously rubbed the corner of his clothes with both hands, his whole body stiff, and he stammered, "Pear... Pear, just pretend I didn't say anything!"

He can earn 25 a day, how dare he think he can buy it for 500 yuan?

He knew that ring toss stalls could make money, but he never imagined they could make money this way!

He thought he could earn at most two or three yuan a day.

If you earn eight or nine hundred a month, wouldn't that be much, much more than what you earn working outside the home?

Hua Yuanqing nodded vigorously: "Yes! He's talking nonsense!"

Hua Anshan's mind raced, and after a moment of careful consideration, he said, "Pears and peaches, these are golden treasures! You must keep them in your own hands. I didn't hear or know anything today."

Hua Lichu had been staring at Hua Anshan ever since.

She saw shock, annoyance, and worry in the other person's eyes, but not a trace of jealousy.

My heart, which had been hanging in mid-air, slowly settled on the ground.

Fortunately, her relatives were not greedy for money.

Hua Lichu narrowed her big eyes, pretended to ponder for a moment, and then told him the result that she had discussed with her grandfather and sister earlier.

"Uncle, do you think this is okay?"

I'll give you 100 yuan a month to help me watch the stall.

I will negotiate with the suppliers of toys and other similar items to arrange for them to deliver the goods daily.

You don't need to worry about the payments; you just need to keep a detailed record of the goods that arrive each day.

I come back once a month, and when I do, I settle the bill with them.

(Previously, she addressed him as "elder brother," but Hua Anshan is actually younger than Hua Hechun. After the female lead changes her surname, she will also address her relatives on Hua Yuansheng's side differently.)

Upon hearing this, Hua Anshan repeatedly refused: "No need for 100, no need for 100, 50, oh no, I'll show you even if you don't pay!"

"How can you not charge money? You have to set up your stall every day, except when it's windy or rainy!"

Hua Anshan scratched his head: "You only set up a stall for a few hours? And it's at night!"

It doesn't interfere with my daytime work in the fields, and it also gives me something to do.

Otherwise, you'll have to go to bed as soon as it gets dark, and you'll become stupid from sleeping too much.

Hua Lichu said sternly, "If you don't want your wages, then I'll go ask Uncle Village Chief for help."

Hua Yuanqing spoke up at the right moment: "How about this, one of you doesn't say you don't need the money, and the other doesn't say anything about 100 yuan either."

It's only 60 yuan!

I've inquired about it. The young people who recently went to work in Guangdong province work 12-hour shifts every day, rotating between two shifts, and only earn about 200 yuan a month.

It's true that you have to set up a stall every day to play the ring toss game.

But starting from four or five in the afternoon, and closing up shop around nine, it's only four or five hours at most, and that's during the four or five hours when you don't have to work in the evening.

You can earn money right at your doorstep, without having to leave your hometown.

To be honest, we actually got a good deal on you for 60 yuan.

Hua Lichu and Hua Antao both shook their heads: "Grandpa, that's not how it's calculated."

Uncle can't manage such a big business by himself, so I'll definitely need your help.

To put it bluntly, this 100 yuan is your family's salary.

But neither Hua Yuanqing nor Hua Anshan were willing to budge on the price of 60 yuan.

Hua Lichu insisted on giving 100, but the two of them actually said directly, "Then go and invite An Yan boy/Brother An Yan!"

Seeing that the two were determined to only accept 60, Hua Lichu stopped trying to dissuade them.

But undeniably, she was in a wonderful mood at that moment.

The next morning, Hua Lichu took Hua Anshan to find Meizi to wholesale toys.

Besides the ones at the three-way intersection in the county town, she also bought some more wholesale, intending to set up a stall at the municipal government square.

For the past two days, Hua Lichu and her sister have been away at school in the city. Hua Anshan, worried about Hua Yuansheng going to the county town to set up a stall alone at night, shamelessly followed along.

Now that the business is in his hands, aside from a slight lack of confidence, there's nothing he can't do.

Hua Lichu explained in detail to Hua Anshan a series of potential problems that might arise from setting up a ring toss stall.

Hua Antao then recorded it in writing.

After Hua Yuansheng finished packing, the three of them, grandfather, grandfather, and grandson, cracked their whips and drove the oxcart towards the city.

Hua Anshan, who came to see him off, clutched the notebook Hua Antao had just given him tightly and murmured, "I will definitely take good care of the stall!"

"Where are Pear and Peach? Didn't I tell you to tell them to wait for me?"

Yan Moli rushed over, panting, carrying a package, only to find her silly husband all alone. She was furious.

Fortunately, Hua Yuansheng wasn't driving very fast, and the couple hurried to catch up with the oxcart.

Yan Moli wiped the sweat from her forehead, untied the package she was tightly holding, revealing three pairs of leather boots.

She leaned close to Hua Lichu and her sister and whispered, "These are little leather boots made from wild Z leather that I got from my parents' home a while ago. One pair for each of you three!"

Hua Lichu stared blankly at the leather boots in her arms, remaining silent for a long time.

Yan Moli thought the three of them disliked the style of the leather boots, so she quickly explained:

"Don't let the appearance of these leather boots fool you, they're incredibly warm..."

"It's not bad at all, it's very beautiful! Thank you, Auntie!" Hua Antao and Li Chu said in unison.

A warm current flowed through Hua Yuansheng's heart, and he said without ceremony:

"Anshan, treat your wife well! If I find out you're not treating her well, I'll teach you a lesson when I get back!"

The oxcart drove away into the distance, gradually becoming just a black dot.

Hua Anshan Chong Yan Moli smiled ingratiatingly: "Wife, does your father-in-law still have any wild boar skin?"

"what?"

"Wild Z leather boots! So stylish! I want some too!"

Hua'an Mountain is so envious!

"Want it? Want it? You big dummy! You're dreaming! I don't have any!"

“Anshan, we should know how to be grateful. Lizi and the others are so good to us, how can you be so stingy?”

Alright, stop daydreaming!

My uncle's vegetable garden hasn't been tidied up yet, has it?

We're free tomorrow, so let's go tidy it up together and see what we can plant.

That way, when Pear and the others come back from their holiday, they can have some fresh vegetables to eat..."
