Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

Shen Chang looked at Zhang Jianguo and the other man in surprise. At first he thought they were customers coming in to buy clothes.

He took the initiative to shake hands with Zhang Jianguo: "Comrade Liu, Comrade Zhang, hello! I apologize for the poor hospitality and rudeness."

Zhang Jianguo said, "Hello, Comrade Shen! Sorry to bother you."

"Sister-in-law, let's go to the teahouse for tea. It's very noisy here."

When they arrived at the second floor of the teahouse opposite, Shen Chang personally poured tea for the three of them. After a brief greeting, Ji Qinglan explained his purpose.

This matter was a trivial matter to Shen Chang. He already had a ready-made stall in his hands. But he was confused. He knew that Ji Qinglan was capable, so why did he only let him find a roadside stall for these two people?

He patted his chest and assured: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will take care of this matter. Your sister is my sister and my brother."

Ji Qinglan: "They are new here, they have the sugar-making skills passed down from their ancestors, and they want to set up a stall to sell this."

Ji Qinglan only talked about selling candy and didn't mention any other plans. If Liu Yumei and the others could be satisfied with the current situation, then she would definitely support it.

"It just so happens that I have two stalls, one of which is at the opposite intersection, where there is a lot of traffic, and it is the best place to sell snacks."

Shen Chang stood by the window and pointed to a small stall at the intersection downstairs, where some children's clothes were being sold.

The two followed his gaze and saw that the stall was about two meters wide and in a good location. It was indeed a good location.

Shen Chang added: "The children's clothes sold there are also mine. If you like them, I will move the clothes somewhere else and you can open your business tomorrow."

Liu Yumei was delighted. She didn't expect things to go so smoothly. She couldn't help but pull Zhang Jianguo's clothes.

Zhang Jianguo understood and said, "Thank you for your help, Brother Shen. But how much is the rent?"

"The rent here is three hundred and eighty yuan a month, but since you are my sister-in-law's relatives, it will be three hundred and fifty yuan."

When Liu Yumei and the other girl heard the price, their smiles froze on their faces. They didn't expect the rent here to be so expensive. Their monthly income in their hometown was not even that much.

When Shen Chang saw the expressions of the two men, he was also shocked and cursed himself for his slip of the tongue. Why should he charge money for his sister-in-law's friend?

His mind was working rapidly, trying to find a suitable excuse to break another bone.

Zhang Jianguo gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, that's all. Thank you, Brother Shen."

They had seen it all along the way. With so many people here and business so good, the rent must be expensive. They couldn't let Shen Chang lose money because of Ji Qinglan.

Shen Chang was a little embarrassed. He could clearly see that the two were reluctant about the price. He was thinking about how to get a discount or something.

Ji Qinglan said, "Okay, this price is right, let's settle it."

"Yes, yes, that's it, we've decided. But we need to prepare things first and open for business in three days. Then we can ask Brother Shen to vacate the seat." Zhang Jianguo said while Liu Yumei took out a cloth bag and took money from it.

"Can we pay one month's rent first?" Liu Yumei said, feeling a little embarrassed. The family really didn't have much money, and her mother-in-law asked them to take all the money in the house.

They didn't expect that the money they brought was only enough to pay one month's rent, and the rest could only be used to buy some materials and equipment.

In fact, Liu Yumei still had some tickets in her bag, but Shen Chang didn't mention using tickets just now. She knew that tickets are rarely used now. In her hometown, except for the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores, other places have begun to not require tickets.

Shen Chang quickly refused: "There is no rush for the rent, just give it to me in a month. The rule here is to rent first and then use."

Of course Liu Yumei didn't believe it. She knew it was because of Ji Qinglan's face, but she accepted the favor.

"Thank you very much, Brother Shen. We will pay you back in a month."

As they were talking, the door of the next room opened and someone walked out. Ji Qinglan heard a familiar voice.

"Excuse me, I'll be back soon." Shen Chang apologized, opened the door and walked out.

The moment he opened the door, Ji Qinglan could clearly see the man walking outside.

It’s Wan Bin.

Shen Chang closed the door and talked to Wan Bin, and his footsteps gradually went downstairs.

When he came back, he explained to the three people: "That man is my eldest brother. I got all my goods from him."

He explained it to Liu Yumei and the other two. After all, Ji Qinglan already knew about this.

Wan Bin might not know Ji Qinglan. When Ji Qinglan was clearing out the goods at his place, she was masked. Therefore, Wan Bin did not know Ji Qinglan, but Ji Qinglan had a deep memory of Wan Bin.

It was not only because of the transaction they had made, but also because Ji Qinglan had heard many times about Wan Bin from Shen Chang.

She originally planned to buy Tong Beizi's house, but it took her two years to buy it yet.

At the beginning, Tong Beizi lost money in gambling and sold all the valuable items in the house. He spread the word that he was going to sell the house. Old man Sun thought it was a sure thing, but when he took the money to go to see the house, Tong Beizi didn't want to sell it anymore.

Because he became rich again, he was dressed in gold and silver, and wore a leather robe, and was very wealthy.

Later, Shen Chang found out that Tong Beizi had taken advantage of Wan Bin's smuggling in Yangcheng to extort a large sum of money and bought out all the favors between the Tong and Wan families.

This sum of money allowed Tong Beizi to live a wealthy life, and he even got married and had a son. It also completely thwarted Ji Qinglan's plan to buy a house.

Whenever he thought of this, Ji Qinglan felt regretful.

After saying goodbye to Shen Chang, Ji Qinglan took the two of them to buy clothes for them. She didn't buy them from Shen Chang because she knew that Shen Chang would definitely not accept her money.

Seeing Ji Qinglan holding the clothes and trying them on Liu Yumei, Liu Yumei hurriedly stopped her: "Don't buy them. We have clothes to wear. I brought all the clothes you sent back to us last time."

"Is it because the clothes you sent back don't fit? I see you've lost weight. I'll buy you two more sets of clothes to change into." Ji Qinglan said, his hands moving non-stop as he picked out clothes.

Liu Yumei snatched the clothes from her hand, put them back, and said, "If they fit, we'll wear them tomorrow."

Having said that, he pulled Ji Qinglan and walked out.

She was too embarrassed to say that the clothes Ji Qinglan gave her were so nice that she couldn't bear to wear them. Last year, she had to buy medicine for her father-in-law and Zhang Jianguo had to pay compensation to his brothers' families, so she even sold two pieces of clothing and got more than a hundred yuan.

But it scared her.

Ji Qinglan was so nice to them.

In the next two days, Ji Qinglan took time out to take the two of them to purchase materials and equipment for making sugar. She originally suggested that they buy a tricycle so that it would be convenient for them to travel back and forth, but Liu Yumei decisively refused after seeing the price. Even when Ji Qinglan said she wanted to borrow money, Liu Yumei was unwilling to do so.

Liu Yumei's original words were: "Qinglan, we know you have money and are willing to help us, but we can't ask for it. Once we start, we will want to ask you for help when we encounter difficulties in the future. You are my good sister, and I am not a burden to you."

Not only was Liu Yumei unwilling to borrow money, she was even unwilling to live at home. She rented a house near Xiushui Street so that it would be convenient for her to set up a stall every day.
