Chapter 73 - Looking for Merchandise (1)
Now that she has rented her store front, she still has a lot on her plate. First, she’d need to look for a remodeling company to start on that. Then, she needed to figure out how to bring in merchandise, and she also needed to hire a salesperson. There were lots that still needed taking care of.
There’s a lot that needed to be done to get the shop ready, and she still has the two children to take care of: picking up the kids, buying groceries, cooking, bathing her younger child. By the time the two children were in bed, it was already 8 PM. Then, she still needed to clean the house, do the laundry, bring inside the clothes that were hung up to dry and fold them. By the time she was done bathing, it was usually already 10 PM at night. She’d plop on the chair and was too tired to even complain.
Could she really start her own business with two children? Shu Yan started to question herself before she even got started.
Being distressed plus not being able to eat a lot at night, she was hungry all the time. Anything could be irritable to her. But she couldn’t take it out on the kids, so she’d just have to keep those feelings to herself. Every moment like that, she wanted to cry. Her life was great in the past. She didn’t have to lose weight; she didn’t have to take care of children; she definitely didn’t need to work so hard to make money. Why did she have to transmigrate over here and take over the original owner’s life?
She took a deep breath. Life must go on. She couldn’t be so negative about everything. She was five years younger after the transmigration and she had two children, without having to go through the pain of carrying them for 10 months and giving birth. The worst first three years of the kids’ lives were also over. Plus, she had a lot of money to start her own business in the era when there were opportunities all over. She just has to suck it up for a few more years.
Once Ye Jingjing started junior high school and Tianbao was in third grade, things would be better. She just has to buy a few more houses and should be able to retire at 35 with plenty of money.
Sniffling, she went to bed with her stomach grumbling. She got up in the morning again to go buy breakfast, prepare lunch for Ye Jingjing, and take the children to school.
“Have you lost some weight, Shu Yan?” asked Lin Hui with a smile when she saw Shu Yan.
“Yeah, my weight has never gone down since I had Tianbao, so I wanted to lose some weight lately. Can you tell?” Shu Yan could feel it herself as well. The original owner’s clothes were now much looser on her.
“You were never that fat. You take good care of your body.” This was not like ten years ago when skinny was the standard for beauty. During this time, people found those who were a little filled out to be attractive.
Shu Yan shook her head. Emaciated was not pretty, but she was still too filled-out. With her height, 100 pounds would be a good weight.
“Never mind that for now. I seem to recall you’ve mentioned that you work at a textile factory? Do you know anyone in the clothing industry then?” Shu Yan held onto Lin Hui. She needed to utilize any connections that she has right now.
