Happiness System

Chapter 264: The Stepmother Goes on Strike 8

After Ren Lianyi's death, the original owner did not see a penny, and Ren's aunt and sister-in-law even cried and complained about how pitiful her step-children were. The original owner was confused to begin with, and gave all the pension and the house to them impulsively.

It seems that she overestimated the Ren family and those two ungrateful people!

"What's wrong? Your man didn't do things for you? Are you unhappy?" Seeing that she hadn't said anything for a long time, Ren Lianyi grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.

"I'm not unhappy, I'm just too surprised that my man is so awesome! Brother Yi, you're really awesome! If I had known you were so good at that, I would have just laid down. Why would I need to open a clothing store?" Yun Qinqin blinked her starry eyes.

There is no man who doesn't like to be praised by his woman. Ren Lianyi was indeed pleased, but he still said seriously: "You must start and end things and don't give up halfway!"

After scolding her for a few words, he promised to take her to see houses and shops on the weekend, and asked her to think carefully about how to decorate the shop, and then he ordered Yun Qinqin around again.

Yun Qinqin was not disgusted either. She finally experienced the happiness of ancient concubines!

Even the next day when she was holding her waist and scolding the man, she was smiling.

In order to accommodate Ren Lianyi's schedule, Yun Qinqin took a special leave on the weekend to go house hunting with him.

Because the couple had a lot of noise the night before, they woke up late in the morning.

Yun Qinqin was too lazy to cook, so she changed her clothes and took Ren Lianyi to a restaurant. It was past nine o'clock and the state-owned restaurant had closed for the morning market, but the private shops were still open, so they went to have some noodle soup.

After breakfast, walk along the street for a few dozen meters to reach the shop. The shop was previously run by the son of the previous owner and ran a snack bar.

Because the food tasted bad and the hygiene was not good, the prodigal son started to make a fuss about moving to another place to live with relatives after suffering losses for several months. The former owner had no choice but to sell the house and use the money to help his son start a business.

This is a one-and-a-half-story brick house. The reason it is one-and-a-half stories is because the second floor is an attic, and the partitions are made of wood, not cement boards.

A house of this size in this location would normally sell for around five thousand, but the house was made a mess by the previous owner’s son, so redecorating it would require a lot of effort and cost a lot of money!

Yun Qinqin suppressed her nausea and quickly looked around the house, then ran out immediately.

"Oh my god, this is too shameless!"

Yun Qinqin was still a little scared when she came out. This place was even dirtier and worse than those illegal workshops in later generations!

Ren Lianyi touched his nose awkwardly. He could directly hire someone to renovate the house, but he was afraid that the renovation would be inappropriate and that his wife would find fault with him if her business was not doing well. It was not that he had forgotten his wife's fussy habit.

He accompanied Yun Qinqin in complaining about the previous owner, and the appointed decorator finally arrived late.

Yun Qinqin briefly stated her requirements, asked the price, and when Ren Lianyi nodded, she impatiently handed the key to the master and ran away.

She promised not to come here again until the master removed the walls and the ground!

After solving the problem of the shop, Ren Lianyi took Yun Qinqin to look at a house.

Both are residences with small courtyards. One is a two-story building newly built two years ago, with a construction area of ​​more than 130 square meters and a courtyard of 60 to 70 square meters. The asking price is 9,000 yuan, and if it goes down, it can probably be bought for 8,000 yuan.

The other house is similar in building and size to the one they live in now, but the interior layout looks more comfortable than the one they live in now. The price of this house is 4,800.

Yun Qinqin prefers the second house because it is less tiring to clean, the neighbors seem nice, and the surrounding environment is better and it is closer to the school.

The environment of the first house was similar to the one they lived in now, and she felt uncomfortable with the neighbors’ stares. No matter how good or suitable the house was, she was not going to consider it.

The main reason is that they don’t have much money on hand, and it’s difficult to borrow a difference of several thousand yuan!

"Do you really want a second one?" Ren Lianyi didn't miss the look on his wife's face when she saw the big house. Afraid that she would regret it, he advised, "If we can negotiate the price of the first house, it will be at least one thousand or five hundred or eight hundred less. I still have five thousand six hundred in my hand. I can still get the full amount by going back to my brothers and sisters to get it together."

Yun Qinqin quickly shook her head, "I don't want to be in debt! And I really like the second one. It's just right for our family of four. The environment over there is good, and it's close to my shop. The more I look at it, the more comfortable it feels. I guess we are destined to live in that house!"

Ren Lianyi nodded when he saw that she was not reluctant and said, "Okay, I'll go find a middleman to book the house later. Tomorrow, the Housing Authority will go to work to complete the transfer procedures. Do you want to use the remaining money to renovate the house?"

"I think it's all good. Just repaint the walls, change the locks, and add some furniture.

I have some ideas for those furniture. Brother Yi, can you find a master carpenter? Or should we look for the furniture factory?"

"The furniture factory in Dongcheng was contracted by my childhood friend's family. His craftsman has good skills. You can draw the design and I will go to him to see if he can make it."

"Brother Yi, you're so nice! With you around, I really don't have to worry about anything. No wonder everyone envies me for marrying a good man!"

Ren Lianyi fell for it, and after sending Yun Qinqin back to the state-owned store, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Yun Qinqin only took half a day off. In the afternoon, Ren Lianyi had met up with his friends to drink and reminisce about the past, but then he turned around and went to find someone to build the house.

There are only two days left in July. Yun Qinqin has only finished working for this month, so her job as a salesperson has come to an end. It will not be easy to buy defective products at a low price in the future.

The director of the Dongcheng state-owned store is the wife of leader Ren Lianyi, and she got the job through her leader.

I spent one thousand yuan at that time, but I didn't expect that after receiving two years' salary, I could get back one thousand two hundred yuan by transferring it out.

Yun Qinqin only found out in the morning that Ren Lianyi had arranged all these things for her. She didn't know that this job could earn her money. The director has always been very caring towards her, and she didn't know how to tell her about her resignation!

For other women, these things might feel like a lack of human rights and suffocation, but Yun Qinqin had no aversion at all. Instead, she felt that Ren Lianyi's arrangements were very good.

He helped her do what she wanted to do and did not disrespect her. On the contrary, he was very understanding and tolerant of her.

No one should be disgusted by this kind of machismo.

There were a lot of people going out to shop and buy things on the weekend, but Yun Qinqin didn’t even have the time to draw a blueprint.

Fortunately, the next two days were not very busy. While other colleagues were busy chatting and gossiping, Yun Qinqin quickly drew the structural diagram of the shop and some drawings of the clothes hanger brackets.

She took the time to send the blueprints to the shop before she started drawing the furniture. However, since she hadn't measured the dimensions yet, she didn't mark out the data and only drew a schematic diagram.

It was the end of the month and everyone saw her writing and drawing and thought she was just doing her accounts and didn't pay much attention to her.

On the last day, the director brought in a new person and asked Yun Qinqin to take over. Only then did everyone know that Yun Qinqin had resigned.

Knowing that Yun Qinqin resigned to become self-employed, there were blessings and also ridicule.

Although self-employed individuals earn a lot of money, they have no security at all, and there is no pension and the capital cannot be guaranteed in the future. Most people still think that Yun Qinqin was being impulsive.

But state-owned stores are different from other units. Each position is dedicated to one person and it is not possible to arrange unpaid leave. If you want to make a breakthrough, you can only vacate the position.

Yun Qinqin didn't think it was a pity. It was good for her to be a self-employed person. She had freedom and could earn a lot of money.

And she has Ren Lianyi to back her up, so she is not afraid of losses!

After handing over the work, she can leave work two hours early in the afternoon and collect this month's salary at the same time. She is so happy!

In the two days at the shop, the master has scraped off the walls and the floor, and has now re-scraped the wall white and re-paved the floor with cement. Now the master is working on the ceiling, and it will take another two days before the floor can be tiled.

Yun Qinqin went over to take a look, checked the details, and then went home satisfied.

"Brother Yi, call my mother tomorrow and ask her to go to my second uncle's house to ask Rongdi and Xiaocui if they want to work in the city.

I wanted to ask Xiao Cui to help me sell the goods, and then she could live in the store, but it was not safe for her to be alone in the store guarding the goods.

I asked the master who worked for us if he was willing to take in an apprentice.

How about asking Rongdi to learn the craft of a bricklayer from him, and then let Xiaocui accompany us to look after the shop?"

Yun Qinqin made some of Ren Lianyi's favorite dishes to reward him. After he had eaten and drunk his fill, she discussed with him the follow-up matters of the shop.

Their shop is quite big, covering an area of ​​more than 60 square meters. She doesn't need such a large space for making clothes, and nowadays shops are basically used for both commercial and residential purposes, so she separated some space out.

The front is a shop for selling clothes, and the back is a small room equipped with a toilet and a rest room. There is a coal stove in the rest room, so Yun Qinqin can cook there at noon in the future.

Separate out a room in the attic for Xiao Cui to live in, and use the rest of the space as a storage room!

When she makes money in the future, she will consider demolishing the house and rebuilding it!

"Well, I'll do it tomorrow." Ren Lianyi was a little curious, "Learning skills is a good thing, why don't you ask my brother-in-law to come over?"

Yun Qinqin rolled her eyes at him. "Go back a few decades, cousins ​​could get married. My brother is already an old man with four children. He is not afraid of gossip. How can Xiao Cui, a girl, not be afraid?"

As an old man with four children, Ren Lianyi was speechless.

"I estimate that the shop will be finished in three to five days. I will also call my comrade tomorrow and ask him to select the model and ship it to you?"

"Sure, why should I worry about my man doing things?"

The next afternoon, Wang Chengrong, the younger brother of my second uncle, came into the city carrying a lot of bags.

"Brother Rong, have you been waiting for a long time? I thought you would come tomorrow, otherwise I would have left the key at the neighbor's house!"

Yun Qinqin was busy outside until almost five o'clock before she returned home. She saw a young man squatting stiffly at her door. His clothes and the sackcloth bag at his feet made him look like a scavenger.
