Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 398 - 399: Opening a Store Requires One Hundred Thousand

Chapter 398: Chapter 399: Opening a Store Requires One Hundred Thousand

"How much money is needed?" Zhang Yanlin tentatively asked.

"The shop rental combined with renovation and product costs are estimated to require one hundred thousand yuan," Huo Chen replied.

"One hundred thousand yuan, why so much!" Zhang Yanlin’s face registered shock, his mouth so agape it could fit an egg.

Zhang Yuhua, standing by his side, was also internally shaken. She was making less than one hundred yuan a month, and opening a store required one hundred thousand yuan. She wouldn’t have that much money even if she never ate or drank for the rest of her life.

This young man, along with his friend Keller, had opened so many shops; he truly was wealthy.

Zhang Yuhua looked at Huo Chen with eyes full of envy, thinking that indeed, nothing was more vexing than comparing oneself to others.

"I need to discuss this with your aunt before deciding on this matter," Zhang Yanlin said, his complexion changing.

Huo Chen didn’t seem to care and casually reminded him, "Alright, then you guys discuss it and give me a prompt response. If you don’t want to do it,

my friend will continue to run this shop."

Zhang Yanlin was filled with suspicion. Was this business really so in demand?

After sending Huo Chen and Xu Ying off, Zhang Yanlin went back inside the house to find Zhang Yuhua.

Seeing Zhang Yuhua still angry, Zhang Yanlin approached her with a smile, "Wife, calm down.

You had no idea what happened yesterday, you didn’t see the way Liu Tianjun and his wife were looking at me.

I was forced to tell that kind of lie, ah, I did it all for our son."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuhua, with a face full of anger, retorted, "Zhang Yanlin, you better explain clearly to me, what do you mean ’for our son’? You’re using our son as an excuse to cover for yourself."

Zhang Yanlin chuckled and hurriedly explained, "Liu Tianjun has a precious daughter, who is just the right age for our son. They only have this daughter at home.

In the future, everything in their house will belong to the little aunt. And that girl is a college student; she’s much better looking and more polite than Qu Huimin.

I was thinking of introducing our son to her."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuhua looked at him doubtfully, "Is what you’re saying true?"

Zhang Yanlin quickly nodded, "Wife, this is not the kind of thing I would joke about."

Seeing this, Zhang Yuhua’s face softened into a smile.

Her son was her everything. As long as her son was well taken care of, she was willing to overlook other matters.

She snorted and let go of her grievances, "Alright then, for the sake of our son, I’ll forgive you.

But Zhang Yanlin, if you selfishly throw dirt on me again like that, don’t blame me for showing no mercy."

Zhang Yanlin sheepishly looked at his wife and swore with his hands raised, "Yuhua, rest assured, if I ever do something to wrong you again, I’ll be struck by lightning..."

Zhang Yuhua was scared and her face turned pale; she quickly covered his mouth, "Enough, I believe your words."

Zhang Yanlin instantly beamed with smiles, looking at Zhang Yuhua hesitantly, "You heard what Huo Chen said just now, what do you think, should we do this business?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuhua’s expression turned bitter, "One hundred thousand yuan, Yanlin, what if we lose money?

The two of us together have only three thousand yuan over these years, where can we get the remaining seventy thousand?"

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to be a shop owner, but the required amount was simply too great.

Even selling their current house wouldn’t fetch seventy thousand yuan.

Zhang Yanlin, however, smiled mysteriously, "Yuhua, the thirty thousand yuan is enough. I still have some of the dowry that Yue Lian left behind.

If we sell those things off, we’ll definitely make up the seventy thousand yuan.

We might even have some extra. You saw how young Huo Chen is and he already drives a car.

Isn’t it all because he earned money doing business? And the Zhou family’s wealth, wasn’t it also gained by doing business all over the place?"

"We’ll never get rich with these meager salaries of ours."

"If we could do business, we might even earn more in a month than we do in a year."

"Zhang Yanlin, how could you? Do you not trust me? We’ve been married for so many years, our kids are grown up, and yet you never mentioned to me the property Zhou Yuelian left you.

If we don’t start this business, were you planning to hide it from me for the rest of your life?" Zhang Yuhua’s face was full of anger.

She had given her all to Zhang Yanlin after they got married, and yet, to her dismay, she found that this man had kept a secret from her.

Seeing her anger, Zhang Yanlin immediately started coaxing her with a smile: "My wife, I was just afraid that the Zhou family would come asking for these things.

Now that Huo Chen has returned, we can find an excuse later to give some of Zhou Yuelian’s things to him. If the Zhou family asks, we can just say we gave it to that Huo Chen lad.

Don’t worry, once I make money, I will definitely make it up to you. I’ll share half of it with you."

That finally calmed Zhang Yuhua down.

Zhang Yanlin thought about how someone had wanted to buy those things lately, and he felt that now was a good opportunity; keeping those things was of no use to him, so it would be just right to sell them.

Zhang Yuhua took out the passbook, and after discussing it with him, they decided to go ahead and open up the shop.

Meanwhile, Huo Chen had dropped Xu Ying back at school, then drove back straight to Shanghai and went directly to several uncles of the Zhou family.

When he mentioned the letter, the faces of the uncles of the Zhou family changed instantly.

Especially Third Uncle Zhou, who was filled with guilt at the thought of his sister’s death.

"That scoundrel, Yue Lian must have been harmed by Zhang Yuhua."

Originally, when his parents and elder brothers had accidents, he was closest to his little sister but neglected her because of work, resulting in her dying during childbirth.

Had he paid more attention to his little sister, perhaps she wouldn’t have passed away.

"Leave this matter to me," Third Uncle Zhou took the responsibility upon himself.

Huo Chen offered his help.

Acting swiftly and somewhat imperiously, Third Uncle Zhou immediately had people kidnap Sun Yan.

Huo Chen was dumbstruck to see this happen.

Sun Yan had just finished work and returned home when she was horrified to find herself locked in a dark room.

"Whimper, whimper~" When Sun Yan woke up, it was pitch-black around her, and she stared in panic at the several pairs of eyes in the darkness.

"Do you know Zhou Yuelian? How did Zhou Yuelian die? If you confess everything, I might let you go. But if you dare to hide anything, you might as well stay here today and join Zhou Yuelian," Third Uncle Zhou said before un-gagging Sun Yan.

Once she could breathe through her mouth, Sun Yan immediately began to scream in terror, "What relation are you to Zhou Yuelian, her son? Or her brother? ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

You’ve got the wrong person, big brother, I wasn’t close with Zhou Yuelian, we rarely interacted, how could I know how she died? Wasn’t she said to have died from complications of childbirth?" Sun Yan’s eyes darted around as she explained.

The moment she finished, Uncle Zhou’s eldest son picked up a stick lying nearby and struck a blow at her back.

Pain made Sun Yan scream like a butchered pig: "Ah, ah, ah, murder!"

Zhou Zheyuan quickly picked up a cloth nearby and stuffed it back into Sun Yan’s mouth.

He glared at Sun Yan with ferocity, unable to contain his hatred.

When his little aunt was still alive, she had treated him very kindly.

In his memory, his little aunt was a kind and gentle woman, amiable to everyone.

She was so guileless that these wretched people had taken advantage of her.

"Sun Yan, weren’t you, Zhou Yuelian, your sister Sun Ying, and Zhang Yuhua once known as the ’Four Sisters’? So, why aren’t you on good terms now?"
