Chapter 105 Open a small supermarket
"By the way, auntie, I passed by the school the day before yesterday and saw a small supermarket that was for subletting. I thought the place was good. It would be good for auntie to take over. It is a formal job to do. Being your own boss is better than giving it to someone else.
It’s better to work part-time!”
Ning Tao took a sip of water and looked at the two of them discussing.
He also knew that Tong's mother would not be idle after her legs and feet healed. During this period, she had been keeping an eye on her, but she never came up with any good ideas. But the small supermarket was similar. Although she couldn't make a lot of money, she still had enough food and clothing.
"Small supermarket? That's great. Where is it?"
Tong Yaqian's eyes lit up when she heard this and she immediately cheered.
After all, this kind of business is different from that of mobile vendors, and it can also reduce the hardship. She just doesn't want her mother to suffer.
"It's all good, even if the small supermarket is good, but we don't have the money to pay for it, so let's forget it!"
Tong's mother was a little moved when she heard this, but after all, she had more on her mind. Her face darkened, she glared at Tong Yaqian, shook her head and said.
"Don't worry, Auntie, the supermarket is not big. It won't cost you much money to place the order. The sublease fee written on it is only 30,000 yuan. I thought if I negotiate the price with them, I can get a little less. After the order is placed, Yaqian is after school.
I can help you later!”
Ning Tao didn't understand Tong's mother's thoughts, so he immediately spoke and even moved Tong Yaqian out.
As a last resort, he didn't want Tong's mother to work as a mobile vendor. Although Tong's legs and feet were almost healed, she hadn't walked for many years and her body bones were very weak. If she stood for a long time, she might be deteriorating.
When Tong's mother heard this, her expression also changed. She hesitated for a moment, but still said with a troubled face, "Ning Tao, to tell you the truth, we don't have much money at home now, because I have already borrowed all the money I could for medical treatment."
, forget it, let’s talk about other things after I accumulate some savings!”
"Auntie, this is a rare opportunity. There are so many mobile stalls outside Zhongxia University. Where can you make money? When will you be able to pay off the foreign debt like this? I happen to have some spare money in my hand, so I will lend it to Yaqian. This is
Leave the matter to me, just wait for my news!"
Ning Tao smiled slightly and immediately made his decision.
"No, no, Ning Tao, you have helped us too much, how can we let you spend more money? Besides, the rent you paid for us last time has not been paid back to you. This is too much money!"
When Tong's mother heard this, she immediately waved her hand and refused.
Ning Tao turned his head secretly, blinked at Tong Yaqian calmly, and asked her to help.
"Mom, let's just borrow some more from Ning Tao, and then return it to him after we make a profit!" Tong Yaqian was quite satisfied with this, and when she saw the gesture in Ning Tao's eyes, she also persuaded him.
"No, we can't let Ning Tao spend any more money. After all, you are also a student. You should keep whatever savings you have. Auntie can do it by herself." Tong's mother still insisted.
"Let's do this, auntie. I happen to be planning to start a small business. I'll take over the store and auntie will look after it for me. I'll pay you a salary. How about that?"
Ning Tao knew that Tong's mother was stubborn, so she didn't insist at the moment. Instead, she changed her approach and asked for their opinions.
To him, 30,000 yuan is nothing, but it is not a waste of money if it can help this disadvantaged mother and daughter.
Seeing Ning Tao's determination and Tong Yaqian's support, Tong's mother didn't know how to refuse for a while, so she reluctantly agreed.
After the matter was settled, the three of them were in a pretty good mood. They had a good meal and had a surprisingly good appetite.
"Auntie, Yaqian, I have something to do tonight, so I will leave first. Just wait for my news when you come back!"
After finishing the meal, Ning Tao was thinking about Ye Wanqing and said goodbye without staying long.
"Okay, Ning Tao, if you have something to do, Auntie won't delay you. Ya Qian, send Ning Tao off!"
Tong's mother, who was clearing away the dishes, heard this and hurriedly spoke to Tong Yaqian.
"Got it!" Tong Yaqian ate a grape and stood up. She didn't open the door first, but turned around and went back to the bedroom. After a while, she came out like a gust of wind with a bag in her hand.
Looking at the bag in Tong Yaqian's hand, Ning Tao nodded helplessly, feeling a little headache.
After the two of them went downstairs, Tong Yaqian held the bag with both hands and looked at Ning Tao without blinking, but hesitated to speak.
"Yaqian, are you giving this to some handsome guy?"
Seeing the other party's expression, Ning Tao deliberately made a joke and said with a smile.
"Fuck you." Tong Yaqian's face turned red, she hid the bag in her hand behind her back, bit her lip, then put it against her head and said: "Ning Tao, how about I go live with you in two days, that's okay too
It’s convenient to take care of you.”
"What..." Ning Tao's heart trembled when he heard this, and his scalp became numb.
"You...you don't want to?"
Tong Yaqian's face turned pale when she heard this, and she quickly raised her head and looked at Ning Tao without blinking. It seemed that these words had taken a lot of courage from her.
"Um...no, it's...that...Oh, Yaqian, you go live with me, auntie..."
If it were in the past, he might still have some thoughts. Now that he has Ye Wanqing at home, how can Ning Tao agree to him? Besides, the other party's words are too seductive.
"Don't worry, my mother agreed. She said that men can't take care of themselves. I can help you wash clothes and cook!"
Tong Yaqian took a deep breath, looked at Ning Tao with affection and said firmly.
"Auntie agreed?" Ning Tao couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard this. He was completely speechless. He was so shocked that he didn't know how to speak.
Seeing the weird look on Ning Tao's face, Tong Yaqian's face turned redder. She seemed to understand what he meant, and immediately glared at him angrily: "You...don't think about it, I...I'm just going to take care of you, I don't have any other ideas.
.”
"Yeah, don't worry, I'm definitely not thinking wildly!" Ning Tao nodded heavily, looking completely serious.
"You are so evil...Ignore you!"
Tong Yaqian snorted coldly, stamped her foot in shame and anger, pushed the bag in her hand towards Ning Tao, turned around and flew upstairs.
"I didn't think about anything!"
Ning Tao froze on the spot, dumbfounded for a moment. He really didn't think about anything, but he was very innocent.
Shaking his head, looking at the bag in his hand, Ning Tao smiled bitterly, turned around and left.
There was nothing else in the bag, but a pair of autumn clothes and long trousers, which seemed to be from the same brand. It seemed that the other party was thoughtful enough to buy him such a personal item.
