Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 691: Chapter 685: Renting a Shop Turns into Taking Over a Shop

“It would be good if we can buy it. Once we buy it, it’s ours, and the location is not bad. If you want it, I’ll find a way. I’ll go borrow some from my mom and my older brother, and then go to my other siblings to borrow some more. No matter what, as long as you want it, I’ll find a way to get it for you.” Qin Lei said somewhat helplessly.

It’s all because he couldn’t earn enough money, and he couldn’t even come up with US$ 1,000 now. He couldn’t fulfill even this one request from his wife, and it would be a lie if he said he wasn’t upset. However, no matter how difficult it was, he had to find a way to do it.

“No need for that, we have about US$ 500 at home. You forgot that Qin Xue gave us all those ginseng and medicinal materials. We can just sell a couple of them, and that should be enough. But in this case, we won’t have any extra money left at home, and I’m not sure about this.” Nangong Shulan said. People say that having extra food stored at home keeps the heart calm, so is it really a good idea to use up all their savings for a small storefront?

“Shulan, don’t worry about that, as long as we’re willing to work hard, I believe we can earn it back quickly.” After this stimulus, Qin Lei was even more eager to make money than Nangong Shulan.

“Alright, then let’s go ahead and take it.” Nangong Shulan, hearing her husband say this, thought it made sense. Since her husband wanted it, they should go for it. Even if they couldn’t run the business themselves, they could rent it out and earn rental income, right?

“Okay, let’s go talk to the boss and tell him we’ll come tomorrow to pay and handle the paperwork.” Qin Lei thought that once they completed the paperwork, they wouldn’t have to push their tools around every day. This would be much more convenient, and his wife wouldn’t have to be so tired. Even if it meant they had to work harder now, it was worth it for the double benefits.

...
“Boss, we’ve discussed it, and we want to take over this store. But we don’t have enough money right now, so we can only come tomorrow to pay you and handle the paperwork.” Qin Lei said.

“That’s natural.” The store owner thought that nobody would just casually carry US$ 1,000 on the street, as it would be a great loss if they caught the attention of a thief.

However, he didn’t think the couple looked like they had US$ 1,000. It was true that appearances could be deceiving.

“Big brother, can I ask you a question?” The store owner carefully asked.

“Boss, you can ask whatever you want.” Qin Lei didn’t know what he wanted to ask.

“I just think that you don’t look like someone with such a substantial financial background, so why did you decide to take over my store?” This was something the store owner couldn’t understand.

“Hehe, well, that’s just a little selfishness of mine. As you can see, our family’s situation isn’t very good, but I don’t want my wife to have to push the cart with me every day. That would be too tiring.

Now that you happen to have a store, even though the price is much higher than we can afford,

we can just borrow from others first, and then pay them back once we’ve earned enough. In this way, my wife can be more relaxed, right?” Qin Lei said and glanced at Nangong Shulan.

Nangong Shulan smiled at her husband after hearing his words. It wasn’t easy to find a husband who always thought of her, and she had to cherish it.

“So that’s it. I was wondering why someone without such a financial background would still be willing to do this. It turns out you’re an attentive man who cares about his wife.” The store owner was also a man who cared for his wife, and after hearing Qin Lei’s words, he had a better impression of him.

“She’s been through so much with me over the years. If I don’t treat her well, her heart would be so hurt. As men, we should make our wives happy and not make them cry, right?” Qin Lei thought that if he didn’t treat his wife well, would he still be a man?

“Brother, well said. We men should take responsibility. They’ve contributed so much to our family. If we, as husbands, still don’t treat them well, then we’re truly letting ourselves down. Just based on what you just said, you’re already a good man.” The store owner laughed heartily, feeling reassured about entrusting his store to such a man.
