I stopped my sister from marrying Huang Mao, but she stabbed me in the back?

Chapter 7: The difficult problem of making money, a bright future ahead!
After feeling that the burden of her sister's life was completely lifted off her, Shen Mengyue also felt relaxed, and she felt more relaxed than ever before.

He wasn't angry either, there was a sense of relief on his face.

First, he cleaned up the messy house the two of them had made, and then asked the uncle at the locksmith shop downstairs to spend 70 yuan to replace the door lock with a better one.

Although it may not be able to stop my sister from breaking into the door again with the will-o'-the-wisp yellow hair, it is still better than nothing.

After all, she couldn't afford a better security door, and there was no need for it.

She really didn't want to occupy the old house left by her parents, but just wanted to protect the relics they left inside.

Sooner or later she will leave this small city. By then, after finding a new place to live and moving the belongings left by her parents there, she will no longer have any nostalgia.

If my sister wants it, just give it to her.

Anyway, this house has no property rights. When her parents were workers in the county's textile factory, the factory allocated it to employees' families.

Unfortunately, the textile factory later closed down, so her parents became half-professional construction workers.

Fortunately, the house has not been taken back and you can continue to live in it.

However, it cannot be traded. It is very old and can be described as old and shabby. Many people have moved out and they don't know when it will be demolished.

After tidying up the house again, Shen Mengyue sat at the dining table in the living room, took out the two bankbooks in her hand, and prepared to calculate how much money she still had.

The first one is the bankbook left by my parents.

Looking at the numbers on it that had remained untouched since she made several withdrawals three years ago to pay for her parents' funerals, she couldn't help but feel sad.

Her parents passed away so suddenly. She didn't even see them for the last time, and she didn't even have a last word. The originally good family disappeared overnight, and the real family was completely destroyed.

Even if I am lucky enough to live another life now, I will not live until my parents die to make up for this regret.

Instead, she relived her life until her sister broke up with her. She didn't know if fate was deliberately playing tricks on her, but she was so angry that her liver ached.

The savings left by my parents totaled around 4 yuan. More than 1000 yuan was spent on their funeral three years ago, leaving [-] and [-] yuan.

Seeing that this number had been fixed in the bankbook for three years, she smiled bitterly.
Because of the inheritance left by her parents, she really didn’t touch a single cent.

In the past three years, I and my sister have eaten and used everything I have earned by working part-time on construction sites.

Especially myself, I am reluctant to eat or buy anything.

That's why the uncles and aunts in the canteen at the construction site pitied her so much. A weak woman not only had to support herself, but also had to support a younger sister in high school for three years. How could it be so easy?

He often secretly opened some small stoves for her, and the other workers didn't say anything, but they also saw it and felt pain in their hearts.

As for my salary, because I am just a part-time worker and not a formal worker, my salary is not high, only about [-] yuan a month.

Most of this money was spent on supporting her younger sister to study, and she spent almost nothing on herself.

So she took out another bankbook that belonged to her and looked at the numbers on it, her expression became increasingly bitter.

After three years of hard work, she had only saved a total of about [-] yuan.

She really dug these six thousand yuan out of her teeth.

Originally, these [-] yuan were used to support my sister's college education. Fortunately, I have saved it now. I don't know if it's luck or misfortune.

In addition, I still have one month's salary left on the construction site, which is about [-] yuan.

She had calculated everything before. If she added everything together and worked another month of summer work, she would be able to collect just enough 2 yuan in tuition fees to allow her to go back to school. But now it seems that it is not possible. Yes.

Because now that my sister is determined to marry Huang Mao and take away the more than 1 yuan in savings left by her parents, she can no longer include it in her tuition fees.

And without these more than 1 yuan, she was still far away from being able to raise 2 yuan for school selection fees, a big gap.

She calculated on her fingers that she must earn at least 3000 yuan in the next month!
08 yuan in 3000!

In this era when everyone's salary is generally around 3000 yuan, it is really difficult for her to earn [-] yuan a month!
Even if she went to work as a part-time worker at a construction site, the salary would be slightly higher, and it would still be difficult to earn a salary of around [-] yuan.

And this is only the tuition fee, not counting her living expenses for repeating her senior year of high school.

She knew how much academic pressure there was in the senior year of high school. If she really wanted to go back to school and get admitted to a good university, she would definitely not be able to give in half-heartedly. She would have to find a way to collect her living expenses for this year. That’s it!

In other words, if she wants to go back to school and study with peace of mind, she must earn enough 2 yuan in at least the next month, so that she can truly be free from worries.

2 yuan!
Thinking of this huge number, Shen Mengyue felt dizzy.

Although Teacher Liu and Teacher Zhao said that they would apply for various student subsidies for themselves, the subsidies had not been received after all, and they did not know how much they would be, so she did not take them into consideration.

After three years of hard budgeting, Shen Mengyue has become quite cautious. She often considers problems to the maximum extent so as not to force herself into a desperate situation.

Therefore, this subsidy can at most be regarded as the icing on the cake, but not as her real trump card, let alone relying on this subsidy to survive.

It’s better to be over-prepared than under-prepared!

Otherwise, it will be really hard to work every day, and you will have to be distracted from working, and your work will be in vain.

However, although it was difficult, Shen Mengyue did not give up lightly.

Finally, she had the opportunity to return to school. It could be said that she really sacrificed her life to get it. How could she give up so easily?

Even if you have to risk your life, you have to complete it and realize it, so that you can live up to her life!
At this moment, her gaze became firmer than ever before, with a persistence that would not let go of Qingshan.

After taking a break from high school to work for three years, Shen Mengyue not only retains a bit of the intelligence and dexterity of a student, but also has a bit of the tact and sophistication of an adult, which can be said to be quite lively.

She understood that no matter how hard she worked in the remaining one month, she would never be able to earn 2 yuan.

Manual labor is always the cheapest and most efficient way to make money, and it is impossible to really make a lot of money. Even their foreman does not have 2 yuan per month.

Otherwise, she would not have been thinking about going back to school and relying on reading to change her fate of always being at the bottom.

If you want to really make money, you have to find another way!
It's just that in the past three years, she was still young and her sister had just entered high school, so everything focused on stability, so she couldn't take risks, so she chose to work part-time at a construction site to support her sister's education with her dead wages.

But now, she has no way out. If she doesn't succeed, she will be doomed. She has to give it a try, so she has to take this risk if she doesn't want to!

After thinking about it, Shen Mengyue hid the two bankbooks again, locked the door and walked out.

Get ready to go out and find a good way to make money quickly.

Along the familiar streets, she came to the construction site where she had worked for three years.

In fact, when she was working part-time at this construction site, she heard a group of workers and uncles talking about what kind of business was the most profitable.

Setting up a stall and selling snacks at the night market outside the construction site is considered the most profitable business among all the workers.

Simple and easy to use, and the cost is not high.

They all think that when they retire and return to their hometown one day, they will get a stroller like this and try it out.

Especially the night markets like theirs at construction sites or even in front of schools are a huge profit.

I heard that those selling fried skewers, meat buns, fried rice, and cold noodle and hot and sour noodles are doing very well, and they can make thousands of yuan in revenue in one night!
Especially their construction site, which is undergoing a major renovation in the XC area, has thousands of workers coming in and out every day.

In addition, there are some family homes for state-owned enterprise employees left over from the early years near them. There are more than a dozen tube buildings, and almost tens of thousands of people live in them.With people coming and going, the passenger flow is quite considerable.

In a word, as long as the snacks you sell taste good, are economical, and are plentiful, you can't go wrong. You can earn tens of thousands or eight thousand in a month, which is no better than her simply working hard. Is it much better to work part-time?
Of course, saying it’s a huge profit doesn’t mean it doesn’t really require any capital.

If you want to set up a stall to sell snacks, a modified cart equipped with a gas stove and kitchen utensils is definitely indispensable.

In addition, you need to find someone to learn the special snack recipes and techniques. You can't fool around casually. We are not fools.

Finally, you have to deduct the material costs for the first few days of trial operation. After all, don’t expect business to be great right away. Even if your snacks are really delicious, it will take time to build a reputation.

All these miscellaneous expenses add up, including the different costs of each snack, so the cost must be at least 3000 yuan.

And you are not necessarily sure that your food stall can actually operate. Doing business is really mysterious. It depends on strength and luck. It is a bit like fate.

Maybe what you make is delicious, but you just can't sell it, and what others make is obviously average, but business is booming, and there's nothing you can do about it.

At that time, we will have no choice but to accept our fate and wait to lose money.

In short, risks and benefits coexist, and not everyone has the talent to do business.

Therefore, even though many people know that it is very profitable to set up a food cart and set up a stall, and they are envious of it, they rarely try it themselves because they know that they do not have the talent.

Seeking stability is always the first choice for most people, and they will not break their comfort zone so easily.

And, without doing evil, it is impossible for people to make money beyond their own knowledge.

Setting up a stall and selling snacks was the most likely way to earn 2 yuan a month within Shen Mengyue's knowledge. Other than that, she had no other choice but to start from this aspect.

It just so happened that among the workers and uncles she met at the construction site, there happened to be relatives and friends who were setting up stalls selling snacks nearby, so she was going to get a good understanding of the situation and be fully prepared.

After all, if you can find someone to guide you in anything you do, you will definitely avoid a lot of detours.

You can make money quickly without any hesitation, so that you can collect 2 yuan for tuition.

She was also very lucky. The uncles and workers she knew who had a good relationship with her parents happened to be off work today and were sitting in the work shed chatting away.

When they heard that Shen Mengyue said that she was resigning from her job and was going to treat them to a meal and thank them for their care over the past three years, they all refused.

Because they know how difficult it is for this little girl. After her parents died, in order to support her sister's education, she came to work at a construction site at such a young age. She worked so hard that she was originally a yellow flower girl, but she was as tanned as a little black boy. , can't make much money, and the salary is only half of theirs.

Therefore, he never provoked her to treat guests. Instead, for the sake of her parents, he organized a group to treat guests and took her to dinner when there was nothing wrong.

Seeing that everyone was too embarrassed to go, Shen Mengyue didn't hide anything, and directly told these elders who were familiar with her parents that she was planning to quit her job and go back to study.

Suddenly, these co-workers and uncles were extremely happy when they heard that she was going to go back to school, and they were all happy for her.

Especially those co-workers and uncles who knew how difficult it was for her in the past three years, they all applauded her, saying that she finally got through it, her sister was finally admitted to college, and it was time to think about herself, it was better to study. !

Only by studying can you sit in an office, and you don't have to endure the wind and sun, and you don't have to work hard to make money like them.

The work on the construction site was really not something that a little girl could do.

The workers and uncles who knew her parents well all saw how much she had suffered in the past three years.

It was at this moment that everyone sincerely and unconditionally supported her to go back to school and stop working at the construction site, otherwise she would be useless for the rest of her life.

Only people like them who have never read a book and make money through hard work can truly understand how important it is to study and enter college!

It can really change your destiny, and you don't have to struggle at the bottom like them all your life.

They themselves are already in their 50s and [-]s and already have families and businesses, so this is what they can do for the rest of their lives.

But seeing that the sensible, filial, and hard-working child of my former co-worker could go back to school, I felt happy for her from the bottom of my heart.

Such an expression of eager expectation is simply more joyful than seeing one's own children admitted to college.

They all started to work together to help her find a solution.

When I heard that she was still 2 yuan short of school fees, she was planning to set up a food stall at the night market outside the construction site to make money.

Immediately, Uncle Chen, who had a good relationship with her parents back then, stood up and said that he had an eldest nephew who was selling fried skewers at a night market outside and that he could take her to find a way.

He didn't just talk about it, he immediately took her to find someone in a hurry, for fear of delaying her return to school.

A group of co-workers and uncles even followed her to the fried skewers stall.

When she came to the stall, looking at the five uncles who were working with her, Shen Mengyue immediately stepped forward and ordered the fried skewers that cost more than 100 yuan. She also brought a box of beer, and then moved the small table to the warm afternoon breeze. She moved under the tree and started eating with the co-workers and uncles who had taken good care of her in the past three years. After all, she knew the etiquette of asking for help.

"Come on, come on, Xiaoyue, stop working so hard and come and try my nephew's craftsmanship."

"To be honest, he has been working here for almost four years. Many people come here to eat the fried skewers he makes. He is very famous in this night market!"

"Really?" She was surprised and quickly picked up a fried skewer. Shen Mengyue took a small taste and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Well, it's really delicious. No wonder his business is so good, Uncle Chen."

This is really not a compliment from her, but the uncle Chen's nephew's fried skewers are really good, so this is also the reason. Although it is not yet evening, and there are many other food stalls nearby, but he is the only one who is already sitting here. The main reason for sitting at a few tables.

They are all attracted by his unique taste!

And if she could really learn this craft, there is no way she would be able to earn enough tuition and living expenses for the next year in one month.

After all, fried skewers is the snack category with the lowest threshold. Not only is the profit high, it is not difficult and it is easy to get started.

I just don’t know if I can learn it.

Because of such good craftsmanship, even if the stall owner is Uncle Chen's nephew, he can't teach others easily, right?
It is not unreasonable for people to say that church disciples starve their master to death.

So although she was excited, she was also a little worried. A deep-fried skewer made her think about it and worry about it.

Seeing this, Uncle Chen smiled and comforted her, telling her to rest assured that he would be able to handle everything.

Then, he said to the stall owner who had just finished frying the last table of fried skewers.

"Okay nephew, stop working now and take a rest. Come here, uncle has something to tell you."

"Eh!"

Hearing this, I saw this stall owner who was in his early thirties, fair and fat, with a general belly. After wiping his hands with his apron, he ran over with a bang.

"What's wrong, uncle, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing. I just heard you say before that your child is about to go to elementary school. You two are going to go back to your hometown after this month, right?"

"It doesn't matter if you go back to your hometown, but you can't throw away such a good fried skewers stall. Otherwise, what will your uncle and I do if I want to eat fried skewers in the future? So..."
