Chapter 4030 4032 [Don’t Leave Once You Come Back]

"Let's go, Grandpa, let's go have a good meal to celebrate my brother's return home." Xiang Nan called again.

Qin Baishun nodded.

The three of them then went to Laobian Dumpling Restaurant, ordered stir-fried dishes and dumplings, and chatted while eating.

"Brother, try these dumplings. They're stuffed with Spanish mackerel, which you can't eat in the South." Xiang Nan greeted him with a smile.

Qin Tian nodded. In fact, it doesn’t matter what you eat. The key is who you eat with.

"Brother, how have you been these years?" Xiang Nan asked again with concern.

Qin Tian smiled bitterly.

He was already twelve years old when his parents divorced. Not long after he went to the south, his mother remarried. His stepfather had his own children, so he naturally wouldn't treat him well.

Therefore, at the age of 14, he dropped out of school before graduating from junior high school to work. However, he had a hand disability and could not do manual labor, so he could only do odd jobs within his ability to make a living.

Because of his disability and his family's lack of help, he has never been married or had a girlfriend until now, when he is almost 30 years old.

For so many years, I have been enduring alone, with no future and no hope.

……

"Brother, don't leave now that you're back." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Live with me and grandpa, and we'll be together as a family."

Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

After he dropped out of school at the age of fourteen, he had been working odd jobs outside and had a very distant relationship with his mother, stepfather, brothers and sisters.

For him, since he would be alone wherever he went, he might as well stay in Shendong. Fortunately, he had his grandfather and younger brother, so he was finally not alone anymore.

"Brother, since you have sold groceries before, I will pay for you to open a store, okay?" Xiang Nan said again.

Qin Tian has done many odd jobs, such as security, sales, driver, etc. He has also set up a small stall and sold small commodities. In the play, after he returned to Shendong, he sold snacks and pork in the vegetable market.

Therefore, Xiang Nan considered helping him open a small supermarket, selling drinks, cigarettes, wine, meat, vegetables, daily necessities, etc. If he opened a store at the entrance of the community, as long as the location was good and the business was fair, the income should be good.

After owning this shop, he would have the money to marry a wife. At that time, he could even help buy a wedding house. In that case, Qin Tian would be complete.

In the play, Qin Tian followed Yin Peng and others in order to avenge his brother, but was mistakenly treated as a murder suspect and was killed by the police by mistake. He never lived a good life.

Xiang Nan was grateful for Qin Tian's efforts for his brother, so he wanted to repay him well.

"Will you help me pay for opening the store?" Qin Tian was stunned when he heard this. He thought he was hard of hearing and must have heard it wrong.

  Opening a store costs at least 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. After all, renting a store and preparing goods all require capital. My younger brother is still a college student, and my grandfather is just a retired worker. Where can I get the money to help him open a store?

"Yes, brother." Xiang Nan nodded, "To be honest, I am now a nationally renowned writer. My novels have sold more than 500,000 copies, and I have earned more than one million."

"..." Qin Tian was shocked when he heard Xiang Nan say this, and his eyes widened.

He never thought that his younger brother was so promising. At such a young age, he was already a millionaire?! It was completely beyond his imagination.

He then waved his hand and said, "No, I am your brother, I should take care of you, how can I take your money." Although his brother has become rich, he does not want to take advantage of him. Although he is physically disabled, his heart is not disabled. He will not think that what belongs to his brother is his own and be content to be a parasite.

Xiang Nan nodded.

As a person who is familiar with human nature, he knows that there are two common mentalities among the poor. One is that they are afraid of being poor, so they only know how to calculate and take advantage of others. The other is that they are extremely inferior and extremely conceited at the same time, and they are like a skinny donkey pulling hard shit, and they never ask for help from others.

There is no doubt that Qin Tian has the latter personality.

Because of his physical disability, he was looked down upon since childhood, which led to his silent, aloof, cold-outside-but-warm-inside personality.

"Brother, we are brothers from the same mother. Although we have been separated for more than ten years and our relationship is a little distant, we are of the same blood after all. We are relatives who are connected even if our bones are broken." Xiang Nan said, "Now that I have money, can I let you suffer? On the other hand, if you have money now, can you bear to see me suffer?"

"Yes, Tian'er, your brother really wants to help you." Qin Baishun also advised, "Grandpa also hopes that you two brothers are well, support each other, and help each other. After all, you two are the closest people in the world."

Qin Tian pursed his lips and still said nothing.

"Brother, if you think you are taking advantage of me, then consider this money as a loan from me. When you make money, you can return it to me with interest. How about that?" Xiang Nan said upon seeing this.

Qin Tian thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth, "Okay, it's a deal."

"That's great, brother. Come, let me toast you." Xiang Nan raised his glass and said with a smile.

……

The next day, Xiang Nan started looking for a new house and a new shop.

With his experience in the real estate industry, it is not difficult for him to buy a good house or a good shop.

A week later, Xiang Nan bought two large houses with four bedrooms and three living rooms in the City Garden near Northeastern University in Heping District.

He also rented a store at the entrance of the community and opened a convenience supermarket, selling cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, tea, braised fruits and vegetables, groceries, etc.

In 2002, the housing prices in Shendong City were still relatively cheap, less than 3,000 yuan per square meter. A large house of 150 square meters could be bought for less than 500,000 yuan.

Therefore, the total cost of the two houses and the shop was less than one million, which can be said to be a great bargain. After the house and the shop were completed, the decoration began immediately.

Xiang Nan has plenty of money now. In addition to the millions he made from selling books, he also makes even more money from stock trading. His net worth is nearly six million, so he wants the best decoration.

Not only the style should be fashionable, but also the materials should be high-end. Xiang Nan doesn't want to cut corners and build two sets of string rooms, which would be counterproductive.

"I bought two houses in City Garden, one for grandpa and eldest brother, and one for us." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I estimate that the decoration will be completed by the Spring Festival. By then, we can celebrate the New Year in the new house."

"Hate it, who wants to live with you?" Huang Shu pretended to be shy, but she was actually very happy. "By the way, your eldest brother has been back for several days, why haven't I seen him yet?"

"You two shouldn't meet for the time being." Xiang Nan waved his hand upon hearing this.

"Why? I can't show it to anyone?" Huang Shu asked puzzledly.

"Nonsense, you are smart, beautiful, elegant, and generous. Which girl can compare to you? How can you not be presentable?" Xiang Nan explained, "It's just that my elder brother is different from others. His left hand was born deformed and the five fingers can't be separated. Therefore, he has always been afraid of seeing people. I am also afraid that you will be scared after seeing you."
