Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

There was too much mud on her shoes, so Shen Ping changed them at the door before going in. Li followed in.

Cuihong observed the expression and quickly brought two cups of tea.

"Madam, please have some tea!"

The old lady's words made Li very happy. She smiled and said, "Haha, this little girl is so sweet~"

Shen Ping picked up the teacup, blew on it, drank a sip of tea, looked at Li, and said slowly: "Mom, if you have something to say, just tell me."

"Hehe~"

Li rubbed her palms together and said hesitantly, "It's nothing serious, I just want to rent a house from you."

"What? Cough cough cough..."

Shen Ping didn't expect her mother-in-law to say this. It really caught her off guard and she almost choked on the water in her mouth.

Shen Ping patted her chest, took a deep breath, and asked again: "Mom, did I hear you correctly? You said you wanted to rent my house?"

"Yes!" Li nodded seriously, "You heard it right!"

Shen Ping put down the teacup and said with a puzzled look: "Mom, you have confused me. I don't understand."

"Second son's wife, don't be anxious. Just listen to what I have to say first." Mrs. Li laughed.

Li suppressed her inner excitement and started talking to Shen Ping.

It turns out that the situation is like this. The workshops at the end of the village have dormitories, and there are many workers from other villages in the chili workshop.

But once this man had money in his pocket, he thought about spending it. The key was that there was no place to spend it in the village.

There is no grocery store in this Kaoshan Village. In the past, people didn’t have much money, so even if they wanted to buy something, they would go to the market and buy everything they needed.

But it is different now. There are several more workshops near the mountain village, and many workers from other places live here. They have to go to work every day and don’t have much free time to go out. Sometimes they want to buy some snacks but there is nowhere to buy them.

By chance, Zhang Tiezhu overheard a conversation between two workers and saw an opportunity to make money.

These two workers live in the dormitory for a long time and only go home during holidays. Although food and accommodation are provided, as well as soap and laundry soap, they basically have no worries about food and daily necessities.

But these two men didn't like to do anything else but take a few puffs of cigarette. One of the men had just finished his tobacco, so he asked the other man to borrow some.

"Bighead, do you have any tobacco? Lend me some. I've finished mine and haven't had time to buy some." A worker said to another worker.

The man named Big Head frowned and waved his hands repeatedly: "No way, this won't work, I only have this much, and I can only take a vacation after a while. If I give it to you, what should I do if I get addicted to smoking?"

"Then I'll buy it from you, right? I'll give you the money!" the man said in a rough voice.

Big Head's eyes lit up: "That's fine!"

Later, Zhang Tiezhu heard of a similar case, which reminded him,

Zhang Tiezhu knew that some of the rooms in the workshop were empty and unused. If he could get his second son's wife to give them a room and open a grocery store in the workshop to facilitate these workers, he could earn some money.

However, considering that if he rashly asked Shen Ping for a room, he didn't know whether she would agree, Zhang Tiezhu couldn't bring himself to do it.

The old couple discussed it and decided that the old woman should ask for the lease, thinking that Shen Ping would not refuse it outright.

"Old man, will this trick work? What if the second son's wife asks for an expensive rent?" Li was also a little nervous, even though she was Shen Ping's mother-in-law.

But when it came to Shen Ping, she didn't know why, she always felt uneasy and guilty when she spoke.

Zhang Tiezhu frowned: "We won't know until we try it. How much money can we afford? Don't worry! The second son's wife will definitely not ask for too much!"

"Okay! Let's give it a try!" Li also made up his mind. If you want to make money, you have to be thick-skinned.

So I discussed it with my wife, Mrs. Li, and unexpectedly I got her consent.

Old Mrs. Li looked at her child, who was neither too old nor too young. After finishing the work in the fields, she felt bored and wanted to find something to do. Zhang Tiezhu's words brightened her eyes.

The shop can be open or not when the workers are at work. The old man can look after the shop when the workers are off work during the day.

I can come over occasionally and take turns with him to watch over the store for a while, post a notice, and tell the workers when the grocery store will open.

If you have nothing else to do tonight, you can drive for an hour or two.

After listening to Li's words, Shen Ping finally understood what was going on. It turned out that her mother-in-law wanted to rent an empty room in the workshop to open a grocery store.

Shen Ping had to admire Zhang Tiezhu. She was so busy with her business outside that she didn't pay much attention to this.

At present, there are about seventy or eighty people living in the dormitory. The first batch of peppers this summer will soon be on the market, and we will probably have to expand the enrollment after a while.

By then, there will be more and more workers, and the proportion of accommodation will definitely increase. It will definitely make sense to open a grocery store in the workshop.

There were still a few empty rooms in the previously built workshop. Shen Ping thought about it and remembered that there was a smaller room nearby, which was not far from the cafeteria.

And there is another advantage. The rear window faces the village road. In other words, if villagers want to buy something in the future, they can also buy it through the rear window.

This is the first grocery store in Kaoshan Village. It is conceivable that the business will only be good, not bad.

Shen Ping thought the house was too small and useless, so she left it unused. Now it seems to be a perfect location for a grocery store.

"Okay, there is a smallest room next to the cafeteria that is big enough for you to open a grocery store!" Shen Ping was straightforward and agreed quickly.

"Really? That's great!" Li was so excited that her speech was unclear.

After being happy, she thought of a very realistic thing, which is the rent issue.

"Haha~"

Li laughed dryly and said, "Second daughter-in-law, how do you calculate the rent?"

"Well~" Shen Ping suddenly thought of a great idea, and said to Li with a mysterious look on her face: "Mom, please discuss it with Dad.

If you agree to one of my conditions, I will immediately waive your rent. Not only that, you can also take your money back."

Li didn't believe it and said with her eyes wide open: "What! There is such a good thing!" She always felt that what the second son's wife said was not that simple.

Shen Ping said seriously: "I have been thinking about this for a while. Now that the workshop is getting bigger and bigger, it is time to hire a security guard to look after the workshop at night.

You discuss with Dad, if we open a grocery store, I will also give him a small room, see if Dad is willing to stay here at night, and help me watch the door, and I will pay him 20 coins per night for watching the door. "

In fact, Shen Ping had long wanted to recruit a security guard to guard the gate, but she had never found a suitable candidate. She thought that if she wanted to find such a person, he must be trustworthy.

It was just her mother-in-law who spoke up and made her think of this idea. Her father-in-law Zhang Tiezhu was the best choice.

"Is that so?" Li was a little undecided. No matter how poor they were over the years, the old couple still slept in the same bed. Now that they were separated, she felt uncomfortable.

But if the old man agrees, not only will the rent be waived, but there will also be 600 coins a month. The temptation is too great.

Shen Ping looked at Li's indecision and said with a smile, "Okay! There's no rush. You and Dad go back and discuss it with the two brothers Daniu. The sooner you make up your mind, the sooner you can make money!"

"Okay, then I'll go back first!" Li couldn't sit still anymore. She had to go back and discuss it with them.

Looking at Li's back, Shen Ping's lips curled up. He knew that Zhang Tiezhu would definitely agree. After all, where could he find such good conditions?
