Originally, it cost 800 yuan for four rooms. Ye Ning said that she was promised a discount before, so it was unreasonable to pay the full amount. She was given an 12% discount. After adding the small amount, it came to 700 yuan. The location was good, and Ye Ning was happy. So, she paid the money.
“Daughter, where do you choose?” The aunt who had asked Ye Ning before saw her coming out and stepped forward to hold her.
“My mother asked me to choose a shop outside.” Ye Ning raised her hand and looked at her watch, “Hey, it’s almost noon, I have to go back to cook, aunt, I’m leaving first.”
“What’s the matter, where did she choose?” Another younger woman came over and asked.
“It’s said to be in an outer position. I guess she has two working families. Otherwise, how could she have so much money to buy a shop? The girl is also pretty. It’s a pity that I didn’t ask where she works. Otherwise, our family’s son can go and have a look.” The aunt regretfully said.
Ye Ning didn’t know that she was almost noticed by that aunt, and she was very happy now.
The total cost of the four shops was 11,200 yuan. If it could be doubled tenfold, it would amount to hundreds of thousands. She dared not ask for this much. When the time came, she could multiply it four to five times, and she would be secretly happy.
When she got home, Ye Lan and Ye An were waiting for her to eat. Seeing the contract in her hand, Ye Lan said worriedly: “Sister, do you know about Aunt Wang Mei behind us?”
“Yes, the one who always laughs at everyone.” Ye Ning walked to and from work every day and rarely went out. Ye Lan, on the contrary, liked to go out and walk around. Within a few days, she had become familiar with the neighbours. So, over time, Ye Ning also got to know many people.
The aunt was called Aunt Wang Mei, she was actually only 36 years old this year. She married early and gave birth to a child at the age of 18, so her son was only one year younger than Ye Ning.
“I heard their family quarrelling just now. It seems that Uncle Wang bought a shop secretly and was discovered by Aunt Wang Mei. Only then did the family find out and asked Uncle Wang to return the money.” Ye Lan felt that they were all from rural areas. They were certainly not as knowledgeable as city dwellers like Aunt Wang Mei, she was also older than them, and she had eaten more salt than they had rice. Their whole family was against it, which showed that buying the shop was not good.
“Then why don’t you see that Uncle Wang secretly bought it despite his family’s objections?” Ye Ning glanced at her, “We are divided internally. I have no control over how you spend the money, and how I spend it. Don’t keep thinking about it. If you don’t mind, just leave it to me. I’ll keep another bankbook for you to keep.”
Ye Ning was also a little angry. The two generations had different ideas, so she didn’t think about forcing Ye Lan to do anything, and did not want to do ideological work for her, because she knew that some things were deep-rooted and could not be changed. But Ye Lan wanted to change her mind. For those few shops, whenever Ye Lan was at home, she would roundaboutly say something bad about buying them.
It was not that she had bad intentions, just like many children knew that their parents were just thinking good for them, but whether they could accept it or not was another matter.
They were only two or three years apart. Ye Lan was sixteen years old this year, which was not too young in this era. Ye Ning did not treat her as a child, so it was better to talk some things over.
Ye Lan’s eyes instantly turned red, and she looked at her eldest sister at a loss, “That’s not what I meant.”
“Then what do you mean? Xiao Lan, since I bought the shop in the mall, tell me how many insinuations you have made? First it is that the neighbours didn’t say it, or that they couldn’t buy it after asking, and now you say that Uncle Wang wants to separate from his wife and children. Is that what you mean?” Ye Ning frowned, “Follow me later. I’ll go to the bank and give you a separate passbook. You can set your own password and keep it yourself.”
Now Ye Lan really cried. Ye An was a little frightened. In his opinion, the eldest sister and the second sister were already good. They hadn’t quarrelled for a long time, why did they quarrel so easily this time?
It was really not a good thing, many things had been suppressed by Ye Ning, or she and Ye Lan were compromising with each other.
They were so old, and their views had been set for a long time. Neither she nor Ye Lan could change it. Ye Lan felt that she had been putting up with her sister’s lavishness, but she didn’t know that Ye Ning was also suppressing her own temper.
Before, she felt that she had taken over someone else’s sister’s body, and she thought they were so pitiful in the original novel, so she tried her best to follow their living habits, but this time she was really annoyed.
After this quarrel, the meal was not well eaten. Ye Ning took out her account book and planned to apply for a passbook in the bank, but Ye Lan refused saying: “Sister, I really don’t mean anything else. Sister, I was wrong and I won’t say it again.” Ye Lan pulled Ye Ning and cried.
Ye Ning sighed, “Xiao Lan, you’re right. I’m telling the truth. I’m not saying it in an angry way. It’s just that our values are completely different.”
Seeing her confused look, Ye Ning explained: “It’s just an idea, like you think it’s best to save money and deposit it in the bank, but I think money should be spent when it needs to be spent, such as on food and clothing. If you don’t have the conditions, you can’t do anything. If you can, choose something good. If you still have money, you should use it. To invest is to preserve the value. In fact, we are both right, but we have different ideas, so I divided the money left by our father into three parts from the beginning. The three of us are the same, and I will keep it for you and Xiao An temporarily. Now that I think about it, you are sixteen years old, just a few years younger than me. Besides, with your temperament, you can manage money better than me, so I want to return the money to you and let you manage it yourself. To be honest, I am also afraid that I will spend your money when the time comes.” At the end of the sentence, Ye Ning made a little joke to lighten the mood.
Ye Lan still didn’t agree to apply for a bank card, so Ye Ning simply went to apply for it by herself, then took it home and gave it to Ye Lan so that she could keep it by herself.
After this incident, Ye Lan was silent for a long time. Ye Ning thought about it for a long time and felt that she was a little too excited. Maybe it was because she had been holding it in her heart for too long. However, once Ye Lan took the money, she felt much more relaxed.
