Chapter 57 Where Did the Flies Come From?
When Qin Yanlin returned in the evening, Deng Xiuzhen told him about Yao Huaying's idea.
Qin Yanlin was very supportive, believing that opening a clothing store was a good idea.
Although it's a bit out of the way, it's located in my own house, so I don't have to pay rent, and the risk is relatively low. It's worth a try.
When Deng Xiuzhen brought up the issue of funding, Qin Yanlin told her not to worry, saying that all the family's money could be invested.
If that's not enough, he'll borrow some more.
He has made a few friends who are generous and financially secure, so he should be able to borrow money from them.
Moreover, there are many construction sites now, so he doesn't have to worry about not having work. As long as there is work, there will be wages. He is capable and good at accounting, so the boss values him and pays him a good wage.
Deng Xiuzhen thought for a moment and said, "Today I heard the person who was repairing the house in front say that he wants to form a construction team."
He gathers together those who are willing to work, takes on tasks, and then leads them in carrying them out.
I think this is feasible and a good approach.
It's a pity you're not a craftsman, otherwise you could join in and you'd always have something to do.
After hearing this, Qin Yanlin remained silent, looking down and deep in thought.
Deng Xiuzhen pretended nothing was wrong and turned to watch the child do his homework.
After the incident, she reflected on it seriously and decided that from now on, she would only offer suggestions but not make decisions regarding Qin Yanlin's affairs.
Qin Yanlin is a man, and men have pride. Even if Qin Yanlin has a good personality and treats her well...
But if she always makes decisions for him, it will definitely make him feel uncomfortable. She doesn't want Qin Yanlin to feel uncomfortable or depressed, which could easily lead to liver qi stagnation and hinder his longevity.
So even though she really hoped that Qin Yanlin would pursue a career in architecture and become a boss, she wouldn't force him.
Now that we've decided to open a shop together with Yao Huaying, finding a place to live has become the top priority.
After thinking about it carefully, there really isn't a suitable place to rent nearby. The Y-shaped street is now being converted into shops in a flurry of activity, so where can you find houses to rent to others?
The two forks of the Y shape lead to two different things. One fork leads to the old town, where the rent is expensive and it's far from the Third Primary School. The other fork ends at a point quite far from the Third Primary School, requiring about an hour to walk there.
Actually, the house in Chenjiawan is the most suitable. Not only is it rent-free, but it is also the closest to the Third Primary School compared to other places. It's just a pity that we can't live there now.
After much deliberation, Deng Xiuzhen decided to go to Wangjiawan, next to Chenjiawan, to see if there were any suitable houses.
I asked several households, and they all said they didn't have it.
We asked our way along the way and eventually arrived at Chenjiawan.
"Deng Xiuzhen!" Deng Xiuzhen was just thinking about asking Tian Guoqiang how his case was going tomorrow and when she could move into her new house when she was suddenly called out to him.
She turned around and saw a gentle, smiling face.
"Brother Chen, what are you doing here?" Deng Xiuzhen greeted him warmly, as she had a very good impression of Chen Chuang.
"I've come to see my mom. What are you doing?"
"It's not that I dare not live in this house. The house I live in now is inconvenient, so I'm thinking of renting a place to live."
Have you found a suitable house yet?
"Not yet, I'm really worried about it."
"Don't worry, here's what we'll do: my house is next to the factory in Wangjiawan. It's a two-story building. We usually live on the second floor, and the first floor is empty."
In addition, our company also has housing, but we don't live in that house often. If you go and stay there, you can help us look after the house.
"Why don't you go take a look? If you think it's suitable, I'll let you stay there," Chen Chuang said after thinking for a moment.
“That’s not appropriate. I can’t take advantage of Brother Chen,” Deng Xiuzhen refused.
"How about this, I'll take you to see it first, and if you think it's suitable, I can rent it to you."
“Okay, I’ll go take a look first. If it’s suitable, Brother Chen can rent the house to us.” Hearing that it was a rental, Deng Xiuzhen thought it was a good idea, because the factory in Wangjiawan was closer to the Third Primary School than her house.
“My home is to the right of the factory. There are only two buildings over there. The two-story building by the river is my home. I walk fast, so you can go first.”
"I'll give my things to my mom and then go over, so as not to delay you from cooking when you get home," Chen Chuang said considerately.
"Okay, Brother Chen, I'll be going now." Deng Xiuzhen thought she was in a hurry to get back and cook, so she agreed directly.
She had just asked for houses in Chenjiawan, so she was familiar with the terrain. Moreover, she had seen those two buildings before, so she found Chen Chuang's house directly.
Unexpectedly, Chen Chuang had already arrived. Upon seeing her, he warmly greeted her, "Come in, come in! Are you thirsty? Have a cup of tea to quench your thirst." Chen Chuang handed her a cup of tea.
Deng Xiuzhen took the drink and was about to drink it when she noticed a fly fluttering around inside; it must have just fallen in.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't drink it if flies were buzzing around. She went to the door, intending to pour out the water and get a new glass.
"Where are you going? Let's look at the house..." Chen Chuang said as he walked over. Seeing Deng Xiuzhen preparing to pour water, he asked, "Why aren't you drinking?"
Deng Xiuzhen felt a sudden tightness in her chest, a very uncomfortable feeling, but she couldn't immediately pinpoint the source of this feeling.
She suppressed her discomfort and said, "There's a fly in the water." As she spoke, she handed the cup to Chen Chuang to see.
Chen Chuang glanced at it, smiled, and said, "Then I'll pour you another cup."
Deng Xiuzhen pointed ahead and said, "No, I have to go back. Look, the students have all left school."
Chen Chuang glanced at her and smiled, saying, "Then let me pour you a glass of water. Drink it before you leave?"
Deng Xiuzhen hurriedly walked back, waving goodbye to Chen Chuang as she went: "Brother Chen, I have to go now, I'm running out of time."
When she got home, she quickly started cooking, but she was still a little late. The children had already left before the meal was ready.
In her busyness, she forgot about the tension she had felt earlier. But after the child finished eating, thinking about the house, she remembered that uncomfortable feeling again.
She had a feeling that Chen Chuang's house was uninhabitable.
Unable to find a suitable house, she decided to go to Tian Guoqiang to ask: how is the case going, and when can I move into the house?
"Can I move into that house now?" That was the first thing she asked when we met.
"Not yet, why are you suddenly asking about this?" Tian Guoqiang asked.
“You know we’re building a commercial street there, right? I’m planning to turn my current house into a storefront, and then we’ll have nowhere to live,” Deng Xiuzhen replied.
Tian Guoqiang thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed a problem. How about I give you some extra money so you can rent a place to live temporarily..."
"Renting a place? Where can I find a suitable place? I almost ate a fly when I went to rent a place today!" Deng Xiuzhen exclaimed.
"Eat flies? What do you mean, eat flies? Where would flies come from this time of year?" Tian Guoqiang asked, puzzled.
Deng Xiuzhen was taken aback. "Right, where did these flies come from? And there must be quite a few, otherwise how could flies fall into a cup of tea?"
