Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

It's September 1st, and all three stores are back on track.

After tidying up in the evening, Bai Chengxiang lowered the roller shutter door a little.

Bai Zhenzhu took out a stack of money and said with a smile:

"Today I'm giving everyone last month's wages. I'm too lazy to calculate it in detail. My eldest brother and sister-in-law, my second brother and sister-in-law will all be paid for 20 days, and Yue Rong and Yue Shu will be paid for 10 days."

Li Yueshu said shyly:

“Pearl, we only worked for eight days last month, and you even gave us clothes. Why don’t we just forget about it and start counting from this month?”

Xu Yin also said, "We're provided with food and lodging here, so we don't have to spend any money. Running a shop means putting in the effort, so why should we ask for wages? Forget about ours, you can just give the wages to Sister Yue Rong and Yue Shu."

Others also agreed that this was the right approach.

Bai Zhenzhu counted out the money: 80 each for Li Yuerong and Li Yueshu, and 160 each for Bai Chenglei and the others.

He smiled and said, "Even close brothers should keep clear accounts. You've all put in the work, so this is what you deserve."

Everyone felt uneasy about receiving their wages.

Especially the Bai brothers, Chenglei and Chengxiang—where did they get this money?

To put it bluntly, it was something their sister obtained through marriage.

If they could, they would rather not earn this money, and only hope that their sister's marriage would be happy.

Fortunately, Bai Zhenzhu was unaware of their thoughts, otherwise she would definitely have shouted:

"It's not necessary!"

Life in the Pei family will never be as good as making money!

Right now, she doesn't want to think about anything else but to keep buying houses, make more money, and make a fortune with her family.

Li Yuerong and Li Yueshu were also very emotional, especially Li Yueshu, whose mother-in-law was still in charge of the household, and the couple didn't have much money saved up.

That's 80 in ten days, 240 in a month, which is higher than the salary of some government employees.

Moreover, Pearl addressed the two sisters directly, but not their cousins ​​Miao Qiong and Li Yuexiang. This clearly shows that Pearl was trying to promote the sisters.

They all secretly resolved to do their best.

Bai Zhenzhu continued:

"Big brother, second brother, starting this month, the restaurant and braised meat shop will be your responsibility to run. As for the food..."

Before she could finish speaking, Liu Fang quickly interrupted:

"We'll eat at a restaurant, Pearl. Don't be so formal with us."

Bai Zhenzhu had thought the same thing, but she didn't expect her sister-in-law to bring it up herself:

"Okay, then let's eat together. Yue Rong's salary will be deducted from the restaurant's profits."

Liu Fang nodded: "No problem."

The restaurant's business is very stable, and its turnover is even increasing. One weekend, its net profit even reached two hundred.

Bai Zhenzhu added, "Brother, come with me to pick up the goods tomorrow morning. The new goods that Sister Xiahe ordered for me have arrived."

Bai Chenglei agreed without hesitation.

Bai Chengxiang also said, "I'll go too. Your second sister-in-law can take her time with the braised meat shop."

Xu Yin didn't care at all: "Go help Pearl move the goods, I can make braised meat too."

Besides, her belly isn't very big, so it won't affect her washing and cleaning work.

After discussing tomorrow's work, they started talking about Zhang Minmin's clothing store.

Zhang Minmin's shop has been open for four days, and business is said to be quite good.

“Minmin said she sells about ten sets of sportswear every day, business is booming,” Xu Yin said.

Bai Chengxiang said, "Minmin has invested all of Principal Zhang's savings. Doing business requires not only capital but also courage."

Zhang Minmin's shop required an initial investment of over ten thousand yuan, an amount that few families could afford.

Even if a family is wealthy, they may not be willing to invest.

Moreover, the profits and losses in business are unpredictable. If Bai Zhenzhu hadn't had ten more years of experience than others, she wouldn't have dared to suggest that Zhang Minmin open a clothing store.

The future development is nationwide; even a small place like Xiaxi Town will become prosperous in a few years as it moves forward.

The shop that Zhang Minmin bought was a sure thing, guaranteed to make a profit.

We had to get up early tomorrow, so after chatting for a while, everyone dispersed.

The next morning, Xu Yin ate breakfast and then took Shuo Shuo away, dropping him off at kindergarten as well.

Bai Zhenzhu felt guilty. After being reborn, she was busy opening a shop and didn't spend much time with her son. She said she would pick him up after school.

But Shuo Shuo was still not happy:

"Mom, I can come back by myself. I know the way."

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

“In the city, you have to be picked up by your mother from kindergarten. You can’t run around on your own. Your mother will definitely be the first to pick you up.”

Shuo Shuo was overjoyed:

"Okay, then Mom must be number one."

Xu Yin said, "I can pick them up; we live nearby."

Bai Zhenzhu insisted, "I'll go pick it up. If I'm not available one day, I'll trouble my second sister-in-law to pick it up for me."

“Okay.” Xu Yin led Shuo Shuo away.

Because they needed to pick up goods at the train station, Bai Chenglei and Bai Chengxiang rode both the tricycle and the bicycle.

When they arrived at the train station, Xia He was already there, and she hired a tricycle.

This shipment is quite large, a total of twelve large sacks.

Xia He pointed to the letters on the sealed sack and said:

“My sister has already sorted the goods. The bags marked with ‘A’ contain the same items, and so on. They are all in pairs. The purchase order is inside the bag. We can just divide them up as we like. Some items are the same, and some are different.”

Bai Zhenzhu understood. This was a good idea, very convenient. He and Xia He quickly divided the goods, six bags each.

Seeing that Xia He was alone with the driver, Bai Zhenzhu helped her move the goods.

Looking at Bai Chenglei and Bai Chengxiang working, Xia He said enviously:

"Your brothers are so kind."

Bai Zhenzhu admired her quite a bit; this bag of clothes was quite heavy, yet Xia He was able to move it.

Once the tricycle was full, a man wearing a white shirt and with slicked-back hair stopped his bicycle in front of Xia He.

"I'm sorry, Xia He, something came up and I had to go... "

Seeing that the car was loaded, Xu Qinglin smiled:

"You've already finished moving? Why didn't you wait for me?"

Xia He sneered: "I wouldn't dare trouble Section Chief Xu. Didn't I say I didn't need your help? What are you doing here?"

Xu Qinglin smiled and said, "My sister heard that you got some autumn clothes, so she asked me to come and pick out an outfit for her. Didn't she just get promoted to office director? I thought we should show our appreciation, Xia He, don't you think?"

So, you just want to get something for free, huh?

Xia He looked at Xu Qinglin, pretending not to understand:

"Section Chief Xu, you're not trying to use my clothes to do me a favor, are you?"

Xu Qinglin frowned as he looked at Xia He:

"What are you saying? That's my sister. She got a promotion. Isn't it only right that we show our appreciation?"

Xia He crossed her hands and looked at the other person:

"Yeah, that's your sister, not mine. What does her promotion have to do with me?"

Xu Qinglin seemed to only then realize that Xia He was angry. He glanced at Bai Zhenzhu and the others not far away, and then tugged at Xia He:

"Xia He, what's wrong with you? Why are you talking so sarcastically today?"

Xia He shook off his hand:

"Doesn't your sister look down on self-employed people like me? The clothes I sell are certainly not good enough for her. Move aside, I'm in a hurry to get back to my shop and do business."

Then he got on his bicycle, waved to Bai Zhenzhu, and rode off with his tricycle.
