Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 75 - 74: Making Big Money

"Give it to me," Lin Yinghui took the bag and said, "Aunt Gui, you’ve worked hard today, go home and rest."

"Alright, I’ll head out. It’s getting late, you all be careful." frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

Lin Wan tidied up today’s accounts along with the cash and tucked them into her inner coat pocket.

She looked at the leftover vegetables today, surprisingly there were two pieces of tripe. It seems Aunt Gui is quite thoughtful; they didn’t have the heart to eat the expensive stuff while having their meal.

Generally, employees don’t care about these things; they eat whatever is available without worrying about the price.

"Fortunately, it’s cooler now, so this meat can be eaten tomorrow. I’ll take it home and drop it in our well, and retrieve it tomorrow."

"I’ll take it, let’s go back. Mom must be worried waiting at home."

"Okay, let’s go."

"Little sister, a female classmate mentioned she wants to sell her bicycle a few days ago. It’s a ladies’ bike, only rode for a year, and she wants a hundred yuan for it. I worry about you walking alone at night, how about we buy the bicycle?" On the way home, Lin Yinghui felt very guilty looking at his sister’s slightly thin face.

Lin Wan shook her head, "Forget about the bicycle. If we earn some money these days, I’d rather buy a tricycle. We need to buy a lot of groceries in the morning, and a tricycle would be more convenient."

Lin Yinghui immediately felt it was a good idea, not only can it be ridden but also carry groceries, "Okay, I’ll check the market tomorrow."

"New ones are probably expensive, let’s check the second-hand market."

"Alright."

The hotpot restaurant is some distance away from their home, it takes half an hour to walk there.

By the time the siblings got home, Liang Hongmei was almost frantic.

"Why are you back so late? If you hadn’t come back soon I would have considered going out to find you."

Lin Wan and Lin Yinghui exchanged a smile, "Mom, the city restaurants are different from the hospital area, city places have more people coming out at night, whereas hospitals have patients who eat and rest early."

"How was business today?" Liang Hongmei quickly took the two bags of groceries from her son’s hands and deftly lowered them into their household well.

"Business was booming," Lin Wan beamed broadly at her mom, and quickly asked Lin Yinghui to lock the door.

The three of them went inside, Lin Wan only then took out the money earned today, and the three of them counted it one note at a time.

In the end, Liang Hongmei exclaimed loudly, "A hundred and eighty! This rivals half a month’s income from our stew restaurant."

"Mom, was it wrong for my brother and me to open this hotpot restaurant? You opposed it at first."

"I... was just afraid you’d lose money."

"Subtracting costs, the net profit is about a hundred. From now on, I will take out the pure profit every day and save it, to see how much we can earn in a month."

"Mom estimates we should earn at least more than a thousand in a month," Liang Hongmei’s face never lost its smile. Thinking back to the resistance she initially had against the siblings, she sighed softly, relieved she didn’t persist.

"Little sister, can you manage the shop alone? Why don’t we hire a few more people so you can relax a bit?"

"No need for now, let’s wait until the shop becomes stable," Lin Wan said, frowning, "What worries me now is the beverage situation."

Lin Yinghui suddenly slapped his forehead, "I forgot about that. My classmate’s family sells drinks, tomorrow I’ll ask him. I know where his family lives."

"Brother, here’s the money. Tomorrow go check out the second-hand market for tricycles, and buy one if possible. Then go," Lin Wan handed Lin Yinghui three hundred yuan.
