Chapter 186 - 185: Thoughts
"Xiao Wan, this money is for you. Keep it for yourself. We’ve saved quite a bit as well, and I want Cong Nan to keep an eye out to see if there are any houses for sale nearby. It’s not a good thing to always be renting a place," Lin Yinghui said as he set down the abacus and handed five thousand yuan to Lin Wan.
"Brother, you’re giving me too much,"
The hotpot restaurant made about twelve thousand a year, and from the workshop at the distillery, after paying the workers’ wages, rent, and other costs besides the machines, it was still quite a considerable amount.
Brother and Brother Li each got over five hundred yuan. Having just started within half a year, renting a place and buying machines, the pure profit was already considerable.
"Take it. Brother has to go to school, and you’re the one worrying about the store. This money is what you deserve. Besides, Brother takes the big share, and you’re still losing out,"
Lin Wan smiled, gave her brother a playful glare, and decided to take it.
"The money from the clay pot shop is all in Mom’s savings account. There’s over two thousand yuan, should I take it out too? Your brother is right, let’s buy a courtyard. Every time we pay rent to the landlord, Mom feels heartache,"
"Mom, you keep that money. The money in the account is enough. I inquired, buying a plot for more than one thousand yuan. Buying someone’s yard would probably require around three thousand. Let’s look around first before deciding."
"Brother, have Brother Li keep an eye out for a courtyard next to the road. It doesn’t matter how good the house is, as long as it’s by the road."
"Is Xiao Wan thinking we can do business if it’s roadside?" Lin Yinghui’s eyes lit up as he asked.
Lin Wan nodded. "Yeah, it doesn’t matter if the courtyard is run-down. At worst, we can rebuild it ourselves."
"That sounds good, but such courtyards aren’t easy to find."
"It’s about luck. Let’s take our time to look, no rush."
