Chapter 375 Looking for a shop and meeting a classmate by chance
If someone is cheated, it will be a devastating blow to ordinary people. Such a large amount of money is accumulated by most people in two generations.
The current real estate market is too chaotic. The number of people who are deceived increases every year, but the scammers who deceive others have no psychological burden. Even if they deceive others into losing their money, they have no mercy at all.
The house was not bought, and she was a little angry. She was almost deceived, and Chen Hong was immediately discouraged.
Before going to bed at night, I sent Zhou Yi a message as usual. When I saw that he didn't reply, I habitually put down my phone and prepared to go to bed.
The next day, after sending her children to school, she went to the bustling Grand View Garden and the People's High Court.
Coincidentally, she met Wang Yunyan, her middle school classmate, at People's Shopping Mall.
Wang Yunyan is a Muslim and came to Jinan to work after graduating from middle school.
With his deep facial features and tall figure of 1.73 meters, he not only established a foothold in Jinan, opened his own clothing store, but also married a capable man.
Both of them were once celebrities in the school and the two flowers in the class.
Chen Hong excels in her studies and is the Chinese class representative in the class. She ranks among the top three in the class every time she takes the exam.
Wang Yunyan is famous for her sports and is a top athlete in her school. Long-distance running, high jump, and basketball are all events she is good at.
At that time, Wang Yunyan's family was also poor, and her parents made a living by farming. During the slack season, her parents would go to the countryside to collect peanuts, take them home, rub them into shells, fry them in sand, and sell spiced peanuts in Jinan to supplement the family income.
She also has an older brother who is also a classmate with Chen Hong's older brother.
The children at that time were innocent and no one understood what jealousy was. They had to help with housework every day after school. They were extremely busy. Sometimes they would bring their homework to school and scratch it off before handing it in.
Chen Hong and Wang Yunyan have a pretty good relationship. The school is close to Wang's house. During lunch break, Chen Hong often goes home with her to help rub peanuts.
The tools were rudimentary at that time. Chen Hong remembers that her family set up a rectangular iron sieve to pour the skinned peanuts on.
Hold the brick and rub it back and forth, the peanuts will break open, the peanuts will fall from the sieve holes, and only the broken peanut shells will remain on the sieve.
Wang Yunyan's family members liked her very much and even joked about letting her marry into their family.
Chen Hong seriously refused, saying that she likes to eat pork, and she would not be her sister-in-law just because of this.
They hadn't seen each other for fifteen years. When Chen Hong was in high school, she came to stay at Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu's house during the winter vacation, and she even asked about visiting Wang Yunyan here.
At that time, Wang Yunyan was still working for others as a salesperson in a clothing store, earning a monthly salary of 300 yuan.
Later, when Wang Yunyan got married, Chen Hong was running a passenger bus and had no time to attend the wedding. She only asked other classmates to bring a pure cotton bed sheet worth 28 yuan.
When Chen Hong got married, she could no longer contact Wang Yunyan. For some reasons, she severed ties with her family.
Chen Hong married far away, and the two of them completely lost contact from then on.
At noon, Wang Yunyan treated a guest. They found a Muslim restaurant, ordered six dishes, and each picked up their children. The two women gathered with the children and had a lively meal.
While taking care of their four children and eating, the two mothers chatted about each other's current lives.
What Chen Hong didn't expect was that Wang Yunyan was also divorced once and now remarried. She has three children.
“I had a daughter with my ex-husband, and a son and a daughter with my current partner, those are the three children.
I am now a mother of three children. Fortunately, my children are all with me. The eldest is fourteen years old and will go to high school soon. He has grown up and is sensible.
The youngest is eight years old and is old enough to leave people. And you? I heard that you married in Jiaodong, and I thought I would have the opportunity to go to the beach to play with you, but you have been busy with business and children, and can't spare any time.
When did you come back? We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. I didn't expect that you haven't changed at all, but you are getting more and more beautiful? "
Chen Hong smiled and laughed at herself: "What's so beautiful about you? You're already in your thirties. But you haven't changed much, you're still so beautiful!"
I have also been divorced once and just got married again. I am also a remarried woman.
My ex-husband and I have a son who is seven years old this year. I bought a house in Jinan for him to go to school, and I only returned to Jinan last year.
By the way, are you still doing your old job, selling clothes? How have you been these past years? "
Wang Yunyan smiled proudly: "Yes, I still sell clothes! As you know, my education level is not high and I can't do anything else.
As for the business of selling clothes, I have been doing it for almost twenty years, and I still know a few tricks. If I don’t do this business, I won’t do anything else.
My ex-husband was sixteen years older than me, so I started working with him when I was seventeen. He rented a shop for me and gave me capital to buy goods, and I earned my first money.
After five years of marriage, he was honest for two years and then started to fool around again. Seeing that I gave birth to a daughter, this little thing gave birth to a son with another woman.
I divorced him with my daughter and finally got a house. Now I also open a store selling clothes, and my partner owns a car repair shop, and the income is okay.
Although he is of average height and stinks every day, he is good at caring for his family and is good to me and the children.
Now I think about it. When I was young, I liked handsome and rich men, but I didn't have the ability. Such men are romantic. I got them, but I couldn't keep them.
My mother is right, good looks cannot be used as food. Women age faster than men, so they still need to find honest and loyal men to live their lives.
And you? I heard that the man you are looking for is also an honest man. Why did you get divorced? Who kicked whom?
What does your current partner do? Is it the first marriage or the second marriage? How is your home?
Let me tell you, whether life is good or bad after marriage has a lot to do with your husband's family.
If my ex-mother-in-law hadn't favored boys over girls, I wouldn't have gotten to the point of divorce. "
Chen Hong briefly talked to her about her situation, and also said that she was going to join the army and wanted to buy a guest house for her family.
Most of Wang Yunyan's contacts were businessmen, and their information capacity was greater than hers. Chen Hong's original intention was to use Wang Yunyan to help keep an eye on the real estate. After all, there is power in numbers!
Unexpectedly, Wang Yunyan gave her a new idea: "Chen Hong wants me to say that you are just overthinking, and your father and brother are not businessmen.
They don't have that much scheming, nor do they have that much patience to deal with customers. It's okay to let them work, but I don't think it's feasible to let them do business.
No matter what you sell, you must first be thick-skinned, be able to fool people, and be able to withstand anger. These three things are indispensable.
Think about who in your family can do this?
Let me tell you, you might as well buy a shop for them to rent out, and rent it out for at least one year, and sometimes three to five years.
It would be great if you don't have to show up, do nothing, just sit back and wait for the money. If your dad is willing to work, farm the land at home, take care of the children, and have rental income, what a wonderful retirement life it would be! "
Chen Hong thought about it, and it was right! Her dad was really bad at business, and he was annoyed by other people's counter-offers.
He doesn't like to bargain when he goes out to buy things, let alone supporting customers, he definitely doesn't have the patience.
