Chapter 173 - 173

Chapter 173 My older brother wants to resignI didn't go home for the Chinese New Year, but now that the shop has settled down, I'll naturally go home for the summer vacation.At the end of this semester, her class schedule will be back to normal next semester, but it's not too bad, not too busy.After these past few months, the clothing store's income has been very considerable, especially the women's clothing store. Therefore, she plans to open another women's clothing store on one of the two empty stores.However, there's no rush right now.Before going home, she went to Flower City and bought another batch of things.They even sold off their stock in neighboring provinces and cities.They make a lot of money; the profit margin is really high. No wonder speculators are so rich these days!She took advantage of the past two years to do some hustling. With the rapid economic development going forward, even if you want to do hustling again, it won't be as easy to make money.Before going home this summer, she earned about 20,000 yuan more. With money in her pocket, she felt at ease.She hadn't been home for a year, and she bought a lot of things for her family. This time, she even planned to buy a TV for the house.By the way, her sister gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, half a year ago. Everyone is so envious. Her sister wrote to say that her brother-in-law is so happy he can't believe his eyes, and he wants to hold his daughter all day long.Yun Ting brought a lot of clothes and some food for her family.Her sister-in-law is also a few months pregnant,and Yun Ting bought her several bags of milk powder as well.When she got home this time, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. There were not many people outside Family Compound. Occasionally, she could hear some childrencrying and adults scolding their children. She suddenly felt that this was the warmth and life of everyday life, which was quite comforting.The Yun family is still awake! The gate is closed, and they're listening to the radio in the yard! As for why they're in the yard, it's cooler there! They'd have to turn on the fan inside, and they don't want to waste the electricity.Yun Ting didn't tell her family when she came back, so they were all wondering what was going on when she knocked on the door!"Who is it?" Mother Yun asked."Mom, it's me, your little girl, open the door quickly.""It's my aunt…" Little girl ran to open the door before anyone else could react."Auntie, you're finally back!" The little girlrushed up and hugged her."Oh dear! Baby, wait a bit before you hug me. Auntie's hands are full of things, they're so heavy."Upon hearing this, the little girl quickly let go and offered to help carry the things, but Yun Zhao had already arrived."Little sister, give it to me! Why didn't you let me know beforehand? I would have come to pick you up! You must be exhausted with all this stuff.""fine."As soon as Yun Ting returned, everyone went inside.Mother Yun naturally pulled her daughter up and down to look her over."Have you not been too busy? You've even lost weight."Yun Ting sighed helplessly, "There's a kind of thinness that only your mom thinks you're thin.""Mom, I haven't lost weight, I've actually gained weight. Don't believe me? Pinch my cheek!""I said you've lost weight, so you have.""Yes, yes, you are the Empress Dowager of our family, whatever you say goes.""You're so good at talking nonsense.""Little sister, why did you bring so much stuff?""Sister-in-law, take these bags of milk powder and make some for your child. It's good for both of you and your child, and it helps with nutrition.""Why buy these things? It's too much money. Mom often buys meat and boils eggs for me, so I get plenty of nutrition.""Sister-in-law, since we've already bought it, don't refuse. Eat and drink as you please!""Thank you, sister-in-law.""We're family, so don't be shy.""Come on, everyone brought some clothes, hurry up and try them on. Mom and Dad, these are yours. Big brother, this is yours. Little girl, you have the most! Three dresses! And sister-in-law, you can wear this dress now, and you can still wear it after you give birth by tightening the belt."Yun Ting proudly showed off the clothes she had brought back to her family one by one."Thank you, Auntie. I will definitely earn more money in the future to support you.""Haha, little girl, your aunt is waiting!"The dress I bought for my sister-in-law was actually a very conservative style. It was ankle-length with mid-length sleeves and a high neckline. She knew that people were very conservative these days, and many people still didn't dare to wear dresses!"I have something good to show you tomorrow.""What good stuff is it, little sister?""Brother, if I tell you, there won't be any surprise. Let's wait until tomorrow.""You silly girl, now that you've said that, are we even going to sleep tonight? You're keeping us in suspense.""Ha ha…""Honey, are you hungry? How about Mom makes you some noodles?""No need, I've already eaten.""Little sister, tell me, how's business at your shop?" Yun Zhao pulled his little sister down to sit, looking like he was about to have a long talk with her."Brother, do you have the same idea?"Yun Zhao nodded. "Little sister, to be honest, ever since you mentioned it to Dad, he's told me too. I've been thinking about it too. I'm only making a living on this fixed salary. I won't starve, but it's just enough to get by. I want to give my family a better life."It must be said that Yun Zhao is also clever and quick-witted. Although he doesn't talk much, he is not rigid or dull. On the contrary, he is calm and composed. Yun Ting thinks that her older brother is quite capable if he takes business seriously."Brother, right now, any business you do is very profitable, and it will definitely earn you more than you would working a regular job. What kind of business do you want to do?"Yun Zhao shook his head. "I've discussed it with your sister-in-law. Selling food is definitely not something we can do. Our cooking isn't very good either. We're still thinking about other options! Little sister, why don't you give your brother some advice?""Do you want to do it here at home, or go toCapital City? Capital City is definitely different from home.""My friend has opened a clothing factory inCapital City. From now on, the clothes we sell in our shop will be ordered directly from the factory, so we won't have to go all the way to the south. If you go there and open a shop selling clothes, it will definitely be just as good.""But I'm quitting my job. I can't have Dad quit too, and then the whole family can move there, can we?""Go if you want, but don't use me as an excuse. I'm retiring next year too," Father Yun said to his son."Dad, when you retire, go to Capital City right away. You won't have to do anything; your daughter will take care of you.""Haha... Okay, Dad will definitely go.""Brother, don't hesitate anymore. I've got your back, so you don't need to worry. It's better than waiting for work to stop and you to be laid off, right? Besides, the schools in Capital City are so good. If Little Girl can go there to study, her future will definitely be different. It's better for our family to be together than for you to hesitate and ponder here.""But, I'm a grown man, I can't sell clothes, can I?""Don't you have your sister-in-law? Besides, you can hire someone! Actually, there's a job that can make money, it just depends on whether you can swallow your pride.""What kind of work?""Collecting scrap can be very profitable, but it's not a very respectable business.""No way, no way! Your brother is such a respectable worker at the Steel Plant, how can he go and collect scrap? People will laugh their heads off!" Mother Yun was the first to object."Mom, why worry so much about others? As long as we're doing well, that's all that matters. Being too proud will only make you suffer. These days, thick skin gets you anywhere. We earned our money through our own hard work; we didn't steal or rob. How is that shameful?"
