Chapter 39: Family members don’t talk behind each other’s backs

She has earned more than 700 yuan by setting up a stall these days, but it is all scattered money, and it is too troublesome to count it. Hua Xiali planned to go to the bank to apply for a bank card and deposit the money into it. But when she got to the bank door, she remembered that the bank was closed for the holiday today, so she had to put the matter aside and come back to apply for a bank card in two days.

Although bank cards were not yet popular at that time, all major banks had issued the first generation of bank cards, but not many people came to apply for them! Not only did she want to apply for a bank card, she also wanted to apply for a bank card from every bank, but she didn't know if she had enough money to save.

It was almost noon when Hua Xiali returned to the stall and saw Zhang Yongfeng and Hua Qiuli were busy. He did not go over to disturb them, but went directly to the school to find Hua Chunli.

After Hua Chunli came out of the dormitory, Hua Xiali handed his cup of water to Hua Chunli. After Hua Chunli took the cup, he took Hua Xiali's arm, and the two walked towards the school gate together.

"Xia Li, where are we going now?" Hua Chunli asked.

"We'll be wearing short-sleeved shirts soon, but the ones we had before have all turned white from washing. They're fine for wearing at home, but wearing them outside will inevitably make people laugh. Let's go to the tailor shop across from the school and ask the tailor to make some clothes for us. When the shop closes in the evening, I'll bring my brother-in-law and Qiu Li to make clothes for us."

Although she has already made a lot of money and will be able to make more money in the future, she is still willing to buy ready-made clothes that cost only a few dozen yuan each.

Hua Chunli looked a little embarrassed. Hua Xiali knew that she was worried about money, so she said hurriedly, "Sister, I can earn more than 100 yuan a day on average now. It won't affect anything if I make a few sets of clothes. Besides, you are going to college soon. Do you want to wear your old clothes to go to college?"

After that, the two of them came to the tailor shop. Hua Xiali didn't like fancy clothes, so he chose three colors, navy blue, dark blue, and dark green, which were three sets of summer clothes.

Because she has to set up a stall and is surrounded by oil smoke all day long, she can only wear dark clothes so as not to look dirty and greasy.

Hua Chunli chose light blue and pink floral patterns. The pink one was made into a long skirt, and the light blue one was made into a short-sleeved and cropped pants set. The flowers were white daisies, which looked very fresh and girly.

"Xia Li, thank you." Seeing Hua Xia Li paying without blinking, Hua Chunli couldn't help but say that although setting up a stall to earn a lot of money, it is hard work!
Hua Chunli felt sorry for Hua Xiali because she had to push the things from the countryside to the town, and walk back so late every night. In fact, she, as the elder sister, should have taken on all of this. After all, she stayed at home to marry a son-in-law, and her parents were also her responsibility. But now Hua Xiali had to take on all of this for her and let her return to school.

"Sister, when you become rich in the future, just don't forget me." Although it is said that family members should keep their differences separate, Hua Xiali didn't want to work so hard only to have no one remember her kindness in the end.

Of course, she doesn't expect any reward, just don't erase her contribution and don't forget her dedication to everyone.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Hua Xiali went to the stall and replaced Zhang Yongfeng, letting Zhang Yongfeng eat with Hua Chunli. After all, they were husband and wife.

Hua Chunli has not returned home since he returned to school. The two of them went from being together day and night to living apart. They must both be unable to adapt, right?
So we should give them more time to spend together.

After Zhang Yongfeng and Hua Chunli finished their meal and came back to take over, Hua Xiali and Hua Qiuli went to eat. It was already very hot at noon in May, and many people on the street changed into beautiful skirts. After dinner, Hua Xiali bought four popsicles from a small store. Hua Chunli ate the popsicles and went back to school. She had to race against time to read and review.

There were many people coming out to play today, so Hua Xiali and Zhang Yongfeng prepared 500 kilograms of potatoes. Unexpectedly, all 500 kilograms of potatoes were sold out, and they finished work earlier than usual.

After sending the things to school and putting them away, the three of them walked to the tailor shop. Hua Xiali said to Zhang Yongfeng, "Brother-in-law, it's not good to keep our things in school all the time. We still have to think of other ways. If we can rent a small single room near the school, even if it can only accommodate our teppanyaki, it will be better than leaving it in school."

If the principal allowed Hua Xiali to leave his things in school, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among everyone over time.

"It may be hard to rent a house now, but after the college entrance examination, when the senior high school students graduate, there will probably be many people who want to move out." Zhang Yongfeng said thoughtfully, "We can ask around in advance, and once someone moves out, we will rent it quickly to prevent the vacant house from being rented by the parents of the sophomores."

Some students live far away, some do not want to live in dormitories, and some have good family conditions, so many of them rent houses near the school.

Hua Xiali nodded. "It's still early, so let's knock on doors and ask if anyone has high school graduates who want to move out. We can make an appointment first, or sign the contract first, and then come over as soon as they graduate."

Set up a stall first, and after a few years, when this place is developed, buy two storefronts. Even if you don’t do business, you can collect rent from them. After all, the demolition in the previous life was only in the countryside, and the town was not touched. There were just some road construction and reconstruction, but the changes were not big.

After all, demolition in the city is very costly and not something that ordinary people can afford.

Moreover, the resettlement village in the previous life was built next to the town, very close to the town. Everyone came here for a walk after dinner, and they could reach the town in a few steps.

When they came to the tailor shop, Zhang Yongfeng only asked for a black set of clothes to be made for Hua Qiuli. Because there was a lot of smoke from his stall, he could just wear his old clothes. He would just change into clean new clothes when he went out occasionally.

After the clothes were ordered, the three of them went to look for a house. When they saw someone's door was open, they went over and knocked on it to ask. It happened that there was an empty woodshed in the house, so they asked them if they wanted it. The woodshed didn't have a lock, so they needed to prepare one themselves, but the price was much cheaper than a room.

Hua Xiali thought that they just needed to store the tools for setting up the stall and they didn't need to live here, so a woodshed would be fine, so they rented the woodshed.

The rent of twenty dollars a month is quite a bargain.

They went to the hardware store to buy a door lock, and then the three of them walked back together. There was no minibus to take, so the three of them had to walk back. Fortunately, they didn't have to bring anything with them, so they traveled light and walked back quite fast.
