Pampered By All In Different Planes

Chapter 109: Chapter 109: After Raising a Child and Becoming Rich in That Era, the Delicate Beauty Was Spoiled 29 Times

After all the costs, there was exactly 4,093 yuan in the bankbook now!!

This was just the money earned in the first month!

“So much?!” Li Meihua reached out for the bankbook, looked at the string of numbers, and was deeply shocked, “I have never seen so much money in my life! Am I not seeing things, am I not dreaming?”

“It’s not a dream, it’s this money.” Su Zhiruan felt somewhat emotional, she hadn’t expected that after a month of intense busyness, the store could earn so much money.

She kept the cost on a separate bankbook, now these four thousand and more, all were their earned profits.

“Right, Mom, take this money.” Su Zhiruan wanted Li Meihua to keep the bankbook, so she handed it over to her.

Li Meihua repeatedly waved her hands to refuse, “No no no, I can’t take this!”

Seeing her adamant refusal, Su Zhiruan kept it herself for the time being, and after securing it, Li Meihua gestured for her to sit back down.

“I know, you are a good child.” Li Meihua held her hand, earnestly, “I also know, you’ve always wanted to study well, go to college, it was all because I was weak and incapable, unable to fight for your chance to attend school, it’s all my fault.”

“I can understand, our family was under bad conditions before,” Su Zhiruan spoke softly, her mind drifting off as she thought of the original owner, who had been trapped by people all her life.

As a child, her family favored boys over girls, when she grew up, they wanted to sell her for a bride price, later she was schemed by Su Caixia to marry a disabled widower, a girl as young as a flower, had withered away.

Now that she was here, she would definitely make this ordinary life into something more spectacular.

“After you get into college, you’ll definitely need money, just keep it, or leave enough for your younger siblings to afford education,” Li Meihua still hoped that the three Su siblings could look out for one another, if all three of them could study well and get into college, she would consider her life fulfilled.

Su Zhiruan calculated, with this money, she could open several branches, and with more branches, more money would be made.

“This money will be used to open branches, I’m sixteen now, if we’re getting a business license for the branches, we’ll still need Mom’s help for the paperwork,” Su Zhiruan decided resolutely, “Later we can hire a few people, train them and sign contracts, then we can also take a good rest for a while.”

Li Meihua now trusted Su Zhiruan completely, after hearing her simple plan, she immediately expressed her strong approval.

The next day, Li Meihua handled the business licenses and Su Zhiruan scouted for new stores separately.

During this era, opportunities were everywhere, finding a suitable store was easy, and soon she had located several shops.

After liking the shops, she walked along the street, and by chance, passed the biggest clothing store in the town.

The proprietress was holding a tragic novel, the cover displaying the profile of a beautiful woman, she was reading while cracking melon seeds, inadvertently glancing at the street, and unexpectedly, she saw Su Zhiruan.

Her facial expression instantly changed from contemplation to joy, the proprietress immediately threw down her book, stood up, and called out loudly, “Hey, Su girl! Where are you headed? Why don’t you say hi when you pass by, don’t tell me you were trying to avoid me.”

“Of course not,” Su Zhiruan walked over and was invited to sit down by the shop owner.

“Your shop opening this month has really been spectacular, there’s no one in the town who doesn’t know about it,” the shop owner said with a smile as she poured a cup of tea for her. “The approach you took a while ago also brought a brief surge of popularity to our store, at one point we even sold out. Later, when customers found out that those limited-edition clothes you designed were all gone, they regretted it and bought many other clothes, greatly increasing our sales, even more effective than what we sold in a whole year before.”

“It’s all thanks to the shop owner’s good management and keen eye,” Su Zhiruan modestly replied.

After asking about her recent life, the shop owner finally asked the question she wanted to ask the most, “Su girl, have you been making some new clothes recently? If you have, I can buy them all at more than half above market price. We can join forces to grow bigger and stronger, don’t worry about the price.”

Recently, Su Zhiruan had been swamped because of the fried chicken shop and simply couldn’t find the time to create design sketches, the only spare time she had was spent listening to Qin Lianqi’s lectures and submitting articles to magazines.

So she said apologetically, “Shop owner, I’m really sorry, the shop has been too busy lately, I haven’t had time to prepare new design drawings.”

The shop owner was somewhat disappointed but also showed understanding. The whole town, even the three-year-old kids, knew that Su Zhiruan’s fried chicken shop was the hottest snack place recently.

This month also saw many imitators, but the taste always fell short of what Su Zhiruan’s family offered.

So even though many people followed the trend, it only made the fried chicken shop that Su Zhiruan ran even busier.

The shop owner looked at her with appreciation mixed with a bit of regret, and finally reluctantly saw Su Zhiruan out.

Before leaving, Su Zhiruan also picked several outfits for Li Meihua.

She tried to pay the shop owner, but the shop owner adamantly refused and insisted on gifting them to her. However, Su Zhiruan didn’t want to owe anything, so she paid for the clothes at the marked price, which totaled twelve yuan and eighty cents.

After getting back, when Li Meihua saw the new clothes, tears immediately flowed down her face.

“Ruanruan… why did you buy these, you should have bought some clothes for yourself instead, you’re grown up now…”

She touched the new clothes, feeling a bitter sensation welling up inside her. All along, no one had ever considered her feelings; everyone had always treated her as merely a tool, a person of no consequence. Even she sometimes wondered if being a woman inherently meant being less than others, if being a woman naturally meant deserving of hardship. But she gradually realized she had been wrong. Ever since her husband ran off with someone else, her eldest daughter, Su Zhiruan, had taken up everything. She made a lot of money, allowing her siblings to attend school, and even allowed her to be well-fed and well-dressed, now even with new clothes…

Her eyes reddening, she said earnestly, “Ruanruan, thank you!”

Su Zhiruan was also very moved and finally hugged Li Meihua, “In the future, we’ll buy a house and a car too, and move to the big city. From then on, just wait to enjoy life!”

Li Meihua then laughed through her tears, and the mother and daughter dreamt together of a bright future.

Just as they were talking about buying a house,

the next day, Su Zhiruan inadvertently found out that a family behind the street was moving abroad, and just so, a house was available and they were looking for a buyer.

“Mom, stop cleaning and come with me to see the house!” said Su Zhiruan as she was about to leave with Li Meihua, “If it works out, we’ll settle it today!”
