From abandoned baby to CEO

Chapter 168 Grandpa’s shoe repair stall was targeted

Old Man Sun and Hu Zi entered the city, and Sun Xue's life became even busier.

After school at noon, Sun Xue walked to the rental house carrying two large thermos bottles of boiling water.

Passing by a vegetable stall, Sun Xue bargained with the vendor to buy lunch vegetables.

She started cooking as soon as she entered the house. Grandpa helped her pick up the vegetables and Sun Xue made the noodles.

After a while, a pot of hot noodles will be ready.

After dinner, Sun Xue washed the pots and dishes, grandpa and Huzi took a rest, and Sun Xue rushed to the classroom without stopping.

After school in the afternoon, Sun Xue did not dare to delay at all. After dinner, she went to Uncle Zhang's house.

After tutoring Wenwen with her homework, she can relax. At this time, he and she will go to see grandpa, have a brief chat and then go back to school.

She didn't dare to stay in the rental house for too long. It was too late and she would climb over the wall again. She had to rush back to the dormitory before the school locked the door and turned off the lights.

Sun Xue also thought about living in a rental house, but the school has regulations that prohibit students from living outside.

This regulation of the school is not actually for the situation like Sun Xue, but for those students who have male and female friends in school.

After all, at this age, everyone is full of energy and ready to act, and the school is afraid that they will eat the forbidden fruit outside the school.

Apart from going out to the nearby farmland every day, Mr. Sun spends the rest of his time in the rental house.

After a long time, Old Man Sun became a little bored. When he was in his hometown, he could go up to the mountains to herd sheep and walk around. After arriving in the city, the only place he could move around every day was the surrounding farmland, and he didn't even know anyone he could talk to.

Old Man Sun was also someone who couldn't sit idle, so he was thinking about something to do. First, he could pass his free time, and the most important thing was to find a way to make some money for the family.

Although Sun Xue told him not to worry, he knew how difficult it was to live in the city without income. The city is no better than the countryside. In the countryside, you can just grow some vegetables in the fields and your daily meals will be taken care of.

You have to pay for everything in the city, even if you go to a public restroom, it costs ten cents.

On this day, when Old Man Sun was watching TV, he accidentally saw a story about a disabled person setting up a street stall to repair shoes.

Old Man Sun slapped his thigh: If others can do this small business, so can I!

After Sun Xue came back in the evening, Old Man Sun told Sun Xue his idea.

When Sun Xue heard this, she firmly disagreed with Old Man Sun setting up a stall to repair shoes. She is now able to fully support her grandfather and younger brother with her own ability, and she can improve their lives while keeping them full.

She originally decided to bring her grandfather and younger brother to the city, just so that her grandfather, who had worked hard all his life, could enjoy some happiness and take good care of his body.

However, Old Man Sun told Sun Xue that he might get into trouble one day if he stayed like this. If Sun Xue doesn't agree, then he has no choice but to return to his hometown.

Sun Xue couldn't resist Old Man Sun and could only reluctantly agree.

After school at noon the next day, Sun Xue found out about a place that sold shoe cobblers and brought back a hand-operated shoe cobbler for her grandfather.

Seeing the machine, Old Man Sun was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

When he had nothing to do at home, Mr. Sun used his old shoes to practice on the shoe repair machine. Within a few days, Old Man Sun became proficient in using the shoe repair machine.

About a hundred meters away from the rental house is the street, and there is a vegetable market next to it, which usually has a lot of people.

Old Man Sun walked around the street and decided to place his shoe repair stall on the street opposite the vegetable market.

Old Man Sun also made a wooden box with wheels for his shoe cobbler. Shoe cobblers, small stools, commonly used tools, glue, etc. can be placed in the wooden box.

When old man Sun went out in a wheelchair, Huzi pulled the wooden box. The grandfather and grandson arrived at the shoe repair stall, and old man Sun set up his belongings and started the day's business.

Old man Sun was mending his shoes, while Hu Zi was playing beside him. At noon, Sun Xue prepared the meal and sent it to him in a lunch box.

Mr. Sun is a Han Chinese who is enthusiastic and honest, quick in his hands and feet, and careful in his work.

Gradually, people came to him to mend shoes, and he received more or less income every day. Although it is only a few yuan, it can be considered as making money for this family.

Old Man Sun was able to make money on his own, and suddenly he gained confidence. His whole mental outlook was different. He felt that he was no longer a useless person.

Seeing the long-lost smile on his grandfather's face, Sun Xue felt so happy. As long as his grandfather was happy, he would never think about going home again.

With the good reputation of the first batch of students, registration for the second batch of students was quickly filled up. Sun Xue's training work also went smoothly.

Since the first training session achieved good results, Sun Xue's ability has also been recognized by the boss.

The boss encouraged Sun Xue to let go and do it boldly. He also promised Sun Xue that he would never treat Sun Xue badly when the work was done well.

With the strong support of his boss, Sun Xue's confidence has greatly increased and he is full of motivation.

Old Man Sun's business is getting better and better, and there are more and more repeat customers.

Mending shoes is a craft job, and the asking price is not fixed. Every time Old Man Sun mends shoes for a customer, when the customer asks about the price, Old Man Sun always smiles and says: "You just have to pay for it!"

Old Man Sun feels that as long as he earns rent and living expenses through this craft every month, he will be very satisfied.

This can also reduce some pressure on Sun Xue, so that Sun Xue can study with peace of mind without having to work so hard.

Because of Old Man Sun's kindness, neighbors and people who often come here to buy food gradually came to know that there was a lame old shoe repairman named Sun on the street. He was good at craftsmanship and honest.

In such a small place, such a small business relies on word of mouth, and Old Man Sun's business is getting better and better.

When business is good, some people become jealous.

Old man Sun was naturally targeted. This group of people are those street gangsters who live idle, collect protection fees, and make a living by stealing.

One afternoon, a few street gangsters who were fashionably dressed and with colorfully dyed hair that looked like the tail feathers of pheasants on the mountain approached Old Man Sun and wanted to impress him.

How does Old Man Sun know what the little gangster means?

Old man Sun thought he was being asked to repair their shoes, so he quickly greeted them with a warm smile.

Unexpectedly, the little gangster made a gesture of counting money for Old Man Sun. After reacting, Old Man Sun thought he was asking for a cigarette, so he hurriedly took out cigarettes from his pocket and prepared to smoke them one by one.

The gangsters thought that Old Man Sun was playing tricks on them on purpose. One of the gangsters with yellow hair came up and kicked Old Man Sun, and cursed loudly:

"You old fool, don't pretend to be here for me!"

Old Man Sun was suddenly kicked to the ground by the gangsters. Until then, Old Man Sun still didn't understand why these gang members kicked him.

"Cripple, when you set up a stall on my property, you need to be more sensible and protect the 200 yuan, not even a penny less. Be quick and pay it to me!"

"Protection fee? What protection fee?"

Old man Sun struggled to get up from the ground and asked in confusion.

Old Man Sun had only heard of stall fees, but never heard of protection fees.

But Old Man Sun immediately understood that the group of people in front of him were what rural people often call the second-rate people in the city, and they were here to cause trouble today.

"Masters, I just run a small business and only earn enough to buy groceries a day." As he spoke, Old Man Sun took out a bunch of crumpled change from his pocket.

"You don't want to fucking pay me today, do you?"

Huang Mao pointed at Old Man Sun's nose and asked.

"Really not! As you saw, I took out all the money I had."

Old Man Sun held up a pile of change and said pitifully.
