Chapter 747: Change
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the next few days. Zhao Long really changed a lot.
What surprised Li Xiaoran the most was that Zhao Long actually took the initiative to look for her.
“Xiaoran, I was muddle-headed previously and did a lot of wrong things. I know you might not believe me now, but I still want to ask you for a favor! I also want to learn some skills and set up a stall on the official road to do business. My entire family needs money to live on!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Zhao Long’s words, she lowered her head and pondered over it.
She could feel that her second uncle was much more relaxed now and his gaze had become much clearer.
Previously, her second uncle had pretended to apologize, but now, things had really changed.
Li Xiaoran said, “As long as you’re willing to work hard, it’s never too late! Last time, Sisi came over and asked me. I gave her an idea to set up a stall to sell sweet potato noodles. Selling noodles is easier than selling sliced noodles. You just need to collect sweet potatoes, make the noodles, and dry them. Of course, you don’t have to do it yourself. You can buy them from grocery stores or families in the village! If you’re willing to learn, you can learn from Sisi and Mao Dao!”
Zhao Long said, “Then I’ll learn this. When anyone needs to take leave, someone can take over!”
After that, Zhao Long began to study at Li Xiaoran’s house for two hours every night with Zhao Sisi and Mao Dao.
After seven consecutive days, the three of them finally finished learning.
During these seven days, the Luo family, the Li family, and the Zhao family were called over to try sweet potato noodles.
It had to be said that the sweet potato noodles business was really good.
There were ready-made sweet potato noodles, so they just had to buy them and cook them.
One kind of noodles could be made into several flavors because the noodles were different.
Sweet potato noodles needed to be soaked in hot water in advance and only needed to be boiled for a while. The cooking speed was fast and tasted good, so it was a very profitable business.
After Zhao Long learned how to cook, he paid for the food stall he had ordered. Then, he called Jin Xiaojing and his youngest son, Zhao Yuanzheng, to join the stall owners on the official road to earn money to make a living.
For the first few days, Jin Xiaojing and Zhao Yuanzheng persisted. However, after ten consecutive days, Jin Xiaojing couldn’t take it anymore.
“Husband, let us rest for a few days! I really can’t take it anymore!” Jin Xiaojing said tiredly after washing the dishes.
“Even if you can’t hold on, you have to hold on. Aren’t you envious of others for living a good life? You only see the good side, but you don’t see how much effort they put in! If you want to live a good life, you have to earn it yourself!” Zhao Long didn’t plan to spoil his wife this time.
As parents, they should help their children.
With their current state, they weren’t dutiful parents!
Zhao Long turned to look at his tired son and asked, “And you, Zhao Yuanzheng, have you thought it through? Do you want to continue staying here to help sell noodles to earn money, or are you willing to spend your time studying instead of playing all day?”
Zhao Yuanzheng, who had become more and more silent in the past few days, replied, “Father, I’m willing to study hard! Don’t worry, I won’t waste time playing in the future. After I master the knowledge the teacher taught me, I’ll help you buy noodles! Father, you’re working too hard! This family doesn’t belong to you alone. We’re all part of this family, so we should work together!” Zhao Long smiled in relief when he heard his son’s words.
“I’m very gratified to see you like this! Alright, go rest first! You have to know your limits. Come over and help after you rest! Tomorrow, I’ll send you to school. Don’t miss this good opportunity!”
“Father, don’t worry! I understand!” Zhao Yuanzheng said.
Jin Xiaojing looked at Zhao Yuanzheng, whose skin was already tanned, and then at her youngest son, who looked much more sensible. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat.
Back then, she had taken a fancy to Zhao Long among so many blind dates because he was down-to-earth and dilligent.
At that time, although the couple was poor, they lived a happy life every day and felt as if they had endless energy!
But since when did they start complaining about each other and their lives became a hot mess?
Without saying anything, Jin Xiaojing rested for a while before getting back to work.
As Li Xiaoran and Old Madam Lin sat on the familiar big rock and spoke, they saw the interaction between Zhao Long’s family.
“Your second uncle came to his senses!” Old Madam Jin said.
Li Xiaoran glanced at her second uncle and aunt with a smile.
“Actually, they’re kind -hearted people to begin with. It’s just that after the environment changed, they were blinded by everything outside. Now that they’ve come to their senses, it’s a blessing in disguise! In fact, many simple people in this world will be blinded by wealth and change their personalities after entering a prosperous town.”
When Old Madam Jin heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she thought of her sons and stopped talking.
Her sons had been blinded by power.
Old Madam Jin thought of something and asked, “One never visits unless one needs something! Why aren’t you telling me what you need my help with?” When Li Xiaoran heard Old Madam Jin’s words, she laughed.
“Granny Jin, I actually have a question I want to ask you! I heard that you were good at managing your business in the past, so I want you to give me some pointers! I plan to build a food street near this official road. After that, I’ll build a town and a large activity venue. In the future, I can organize many activities. Do you think this idea is feasible?”
When Old Madam Jin heard this, she looked at the piece of land near the official road and thought for a moment. “You have a big plan, so you need a lot of land. Do you have so much money to buy land?”
After saying this, Old Madam Jin understood. Could this girl be here to borrow money?
“How much silver do you lack? Tell me and I’ll see if I can gather it for you!” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately laughed.
“Granny Jin, there’s no need. I’m not here to borrow money from you. I need your help with something else!”
“Then tell me about your difficulties,” Old Madam Jin said..
