Chapter 209 This is the eldest brother and sister-in-law's home in town?
Shen Qianchuan's eyes were full of admiration.
“My elder brother and sister-in-law have always been capable. They deserve what they have today. Before the family was divided, they worked hard from dawn till dusk and never saw any money all year round. Now they have finally made it through.”
Shui Sheng sighed, "Yes, when the family divided the property, we only got a little bit of silver. We built a brick house, bought a donkey, and didn't have much money left."
Xiao Tang has a knack for business and always comes up with unexpected ideas. In addition, they are hardworking and capable. They not only bought a house in the town, but also two horses. Now they are planning to rent a shop in the county to open a store.
Anyway, I admire them immensely. As long as Brother Qingchuan, Sister-in-law Qingchuan, and Xiaotang don't mind me, I'll keep working for them.
Since he started working with Brother Qingchuan, he not only had extra money in his hands, but he also went to the county to get medicine for his mother, and her health improved a lot. At least she could take care of herself, and he no longer had to worry about her when he went out to the town and the county every day.
Qingchuan's brother and sister-in-law would occasionally cut off a piece of meat and share it with him so he could take it home to nourish his mother. Their family treated him and his mother so well; only a fool wouldn't want to work for them.
Shen Qianchuan took a deep breath, thinking that if his second, third, and youngest brothers hadn't been afraid that they would pester his eldest brother if they knew he was working for him, he would have shamelessly begged to work for him. But he couldn't.
Especially his mother. If she knew that he was running a braised pig's trotter business with his older brother, who knows what kind of bad ideas she would come up with. She would definitely not miss the opportunity to get benefits from his older brother and sister-in-law.
So, the eldest brother and sister-in-law moved to the town, and only Brother Shuisheng in the entire Guihua Village knew where they lived.
Brother Shuisheng is honest, reliable, and keeps his mouth shut, which is why he was able to work for the boss.
He should learn from Brother Shuisheng!
So he made up his mind to work hard and sell breakfast in the county!
Xiao Tang is so smart, and she's even been to several counties and seen the world. The ideas she comes up with will definitely work.
The carriage bumped along the way and soon arrived in town. The town's roads were paved with blue bricks, and the carriage traveled smoothly, turning into an alley to reach the Lin family's house.
Shen Qianchuan couldn't help but sigh. He realized that it was so quick to get from Guihua Village to the town. He could take a horse-drawn carriage without walking, which was not tiring at all. The road was not so annoying to walk anymore.
Shuisheng jumped off the carriage road first. "Qianchuan, we've arrived. Take your things, get out of the carriage, and come inside with me."
Shen Qianchuan entered the carriage, picked up the quilt, jumped off the carriage, and looked up at the house in front of him.
The courtyard was surrounded by high blue brick walls, with a carved wooden gate through which one could see the rooftops of the houses inside. The eaves of the houses also had unique designs, making it even more impressive than the village head's house.
Is this the eldest brother and sister-in-law's home in town?
He hesitated for a moment. Since the family split up and his elder brother's family moved to town, this was his first time visiting his brother's house, and he was a little afraid to go in.
Shuisheng turned around and saw him standing there blankly, so he couldn't help but urge him, "Qianchuan, what are you standing there for? Come in with me, we still have to load the truck to deliver braised pig's trotters to the county, lend us a hand and help us carry them."
"Oh...okay."
Shen Qianchuan realized what was happening and quickly agreed. He followed them through the gate and placed the quilt on a chair.
It was still dark, and Xiaoyu was fast asleep in her bed.
Since Liu Cai'er gave up her suicidal thoughts and was willing to do business with her sister and brother-in-law, she moved in to sleep with her two nieces. Lin Qingchuan also moved back to sleep in the same room with his wife. Only Xiao Jiu had a small room by herself.
Lin Qingchuan had just scooped all the braised pig's trotters out of the pot and placed them into several large wooden basins according to their quantity when he heard Shui Sheng's voice outside the door. He put down the large wooden ladle in his hand and went out, only to see his fourth brother.
He asked in surprise, "Qianchuan, you came here with your brother Shuisheng. Did you discuss it with Manager Zhang?"
Shen Qianchuan nodded shyly and said, "Yes, brother, it's all settled. Manager Zhang agreed to let me leave Juxian Restaurant and also agreed to let me pay off my debts in installments." However, a lot of interest was added.
He dared not tell his elder brother.
He was afraid his elder brother would think he was foolish and scold him for daring to agree to such high interest rates as Manager Zhang, but he didn't want to miss this only chance to gain his freedom.
Lin Qingchuan was unaware of the details, only knowing that his fourth brother had reached an agreement. He happily patted his brother's shoulder and said, "Good, it's settled. Once we find a suitable shop to rent in the next few days, we'll move there together immediately. Your sister-in-law and I have discussed it and will lend you some capital first. Once you've bought everything you need, you can start selling breakfast."
The breakfast business in the county is thriving; you can earn quite a bit of money each month. If you can earn enough to pay back five taels, that would be even better. If not, your elder brother and sister-in-law will help you out. We have plenty of time; even if we can pay it back in a year and a half, we can pay it back in two years. It's still better than working as a waiter at Juxian Restaurant for decades.”
Shen Qianchuan was very obedient. He nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, I will listen to my elder brother. Once I make money, I will pay back the principal that my elder brother and sister-in-law lent me."
"We're not in a rush for capital; let's get through this immediate challenge first."
The first half of the night was spent with Xiaotang and her aunt making braised pig's trotters, and the second half was spent with her father and Xiao Jiu. She was lying in bed catching up on sleep when she vaguely heard her fourth uncle's voice. She then got dressed and went out of the room into the courtyard.
Xiao Jiu followed him as soon as he came out.
"Xiao Tang, he calls Uncle Qingchuan 'Big Brother,' who is he?"
“He is my fourth uncle, named Shen Qianchuan,” Lin Xiaotang replied calmly.
Is Xiaotang's fourth uncle surnamed Shen?
Are Uncle Qingchuan and his three daughters, Xiaotang and Xiaoyu, all surnamed Lin?
so complicated!
When Xiao Jiu was bought by their family, the father and his two daughters had already changed their surnames and never mentioned it again, so Xiao Jiu never knew.
Although he was puzzled and curious, Xiao Jiu was very well-mannered, and since Xiao Tang didn't say anything, he wisely refrained from asking.
Lin Xiaotang stepped forward and sweetly called out, "Fourth Uncle."
Shen Qianchuan smiled slightly at his niece.
In the past, the house was always in chaos and smog. His niece had endless chores to do at a young age, and he went to school with his father every day, so he didn't have much interaction with this well-behaved, sensible, and clever niece.
Now that he has fallen out with his family, the only people who support and help him are his older brother's family. He feels that his older brother and niece have become very kind to him.
Lin Qingchuan saw the quilt on the chair and said, "Jiu'er, take your fourth uncle and put the quilt in your room. You two can make do with one bed for now. We'll rearrange things after we rent a shop in the county."
"Oh, I see."
Xiao Jiu quickly picked up Shen Qianchuan's quilt and led the way, saying, "Fourth Uncle, come with me."
Shen Qianchuan's face flushed slightly, and he said somewhat embarrassedly, "I... I've caused everyone trouble."
"What's the trouble? This is Uncle Qingchuan's house, I'm just a servant..."
Lin Qingchuan immediately interrupted, "We're all family, don't be so polite."
After saying that, he and Shuisheng carried the wooden basin into the carriage. Now that the order volume has increased, fortunately the wooden basin is deep enough. A large wooden basin can hold a lot of braised pig's trotters, and a carriage can hold the supply for a restaurant.
Shen Qianchuan followed Xiao Jiu into the room, glanced around briefly, and after getting familiar with the room, he and Xiao Jiu returned to the yard to help load the cart.
