Chapter 210 The Small, Dilapidated Courtyard
Reading Settings
The more Wu's mother looked at He Caiwei, the prettier she seemed. So she kept staring at her during the meal, making He Caiwei a little embarrassed.
"Auntie, stop looking. You're making my sister embarrassed." Lu Qingzhu found Aunt Wu's gaze increasingly strange.
Vivi is indeed beautiful, but is it really appropriate for this aunt to stare at her like that?
"Qingfeng, where did you find such a beautiful young wife? Tell your aunt, I also want to find one..." Mother Wu was really captivated by He Caiwei's beauty. She also wanted such a beautiful daughter-in-law, so that her family could have a beautiful young lady.
Everyone in the house burst into laughter when they heard what Mrs. Wu said.
"Auntie, this was brought to him by my uncle. You should ask my uncle about this..." Their Weiwei is a lucky star. Since Weiwei came to their family, they really don't need to worry about anything.
...
Back home, the three started discussing what to do. Setting up a street stall to sell snacks was not feasible, but of course, if they had a shop to sell in, that wouldn't be out of the question.
However, after buying the shop, I rented it out directly. After all, I studied finance, so how could I actually set up a shop on the street and run a food stall?
Moreover, street vendors at this time would be charged protection money. Sometimes, they would be charged protection money by countless people every month, and they wouldn't even earn any money, but the protection money was so much.
“Second brother, you’re not in a rush to make money right now. After all, the family isn’t short of money. You can investigate for a while and see what projects you can do before deciding what to do.” He Caiwei’s original idea was overturned by herself.
Now that he knows someone here, he can first see what can be done here before deciding what to do.
"Alright, actually we didn't think it through before. How about this, let Xizi and the others take me around to see what's going on here, and after I figure out the situation, we'll decide what to do?" Lu Qingzhu also felt that he had been a bit hasty before, but he had a general idea that he should check out the market first before deciding whether to do it or not.
"Second brother, let me tell you some basic information you can refer to. In Guangcheng, where we live, the most common product is fabric. It can be made into clothes, socks, bags, towels, blankets, sheets, and duvet covers. You can consider this."
"On the other hand, jewelry is also an option. I've acquired quite a lot of jewelry this year, including diamonds, gemstones, all kinds of jade, pearls, agate, and pigeon blood red. As for food, there are dim sum restaurants here just like in Guangzhou, and the locals in this port city especially love tea restaurants. You've probably only eaten there, but never made one, so you probably can't do it."
“Let me tell you, making money off women and children is the easiest thing. Look at those bags and accessories, necklaces, bracelets, bangles, rings, clothing, food, housing and transportation. You can think of all of them according to your own ideas. You can also write down all the industries you think of in a notebook, and then think about them carefully again.” He Caiwei recalled carefully that in big cities, whether they were working women or pampered young ladies, they would always carry a bag when they went out shopping.
Women's handbags have always been a major business opportunity, as have cosmetics. They can be developed into their own brand and quickly enter the mainland market when reform and opening up take place.
Lu Qingzhu returned to his room and wrote down everything his sister had said that evening. After listening to her words, he began to think about what he should do now.
Extract what you want from the suggestions your sister makes.
He Caiwei had no idea what troubled Lu Qingzhu. After leaving the Tao family, the two of them packed their things and prepared to leave.
It's still quite a distance from here to the beach where they landed, and they have to get back to Shenzhen before tomorrow night.
They have to go to work early the day after tomorrow and can't stay here for long.
When Lu Qingzhu came out of the room, he found that everyone was gone. He checked the time and realized that he had missed the time when his older brother and the others went back.
With a sigh, she ran back to the bathroom to wash up, then came back and took a meal her sister had prepared from the storage space, and began to eat heartily.
He actually stayed up all night writing about future plans, and it's already past 10 a.m. He figured his sister and the others must have reached the other side by now.
He slept until after 4 p.m. and when he woke up, he heard the doorbell ringing. The only people he knew here were his two childhood friends, so it must be Xizi and the others coming over.
"Coming, coming in quickly..." Lu Qingzhu had just woken up, wearing a full set of pajamas, her hair in a mess, and a pair of slippers when she came out of the room.
"Ahem, Little Bamboo, what kind of look is this? It feels so unusual..." Xizi covered her mouth, suppressing a laugh, and followed her into the house.
"I thought about it all night last night, and in the end I didn't even see my brother and the others off when they were going back. I just woke up from a nap, come in quickly." Lu Qingxing already knew what he was going to do. He also needed to ask Da Xiao to take him out for a few days when he had time. He wanted to see how the market in Hong Kong was doing.

He Caiwei and her group had just come down from the villa area and were about to take a bus back to the city when they unexpectedly saw someone.
The man didn't seem to recognize her. He observed her openly for a long time, until the bus arrived at its stop. When they got off, he got off with them.
He Caiwei followed the man for a while with great interest, until she saw him enter a dilapidated little courtyard.
This small courtyard is a bit like a tenement, with clothes racks haphazardly set up in both courtyards, covered with patched-up clothes, making it look messy. People are arguing, but most people wouldn't understand what they're saying.
He Caiwei watched as that person pushed open a dilapidated door in a corner of the courtyard and went inside.
They waited at the door for about an hour, but the person still didn't come out. He Caiwei asked around and found out that the person actually lived there.
Look at this shabby little courtyard, it's not much, but the homeowner is willing to shelter these outsiders and find them some jobs.
Moreover, renting his house isn't expensive, because it's rather dilapidated, so he only charges a few dollars in rent.
He Caiwei suddenly felt that this person was actually quite nice.
Lu Qingfeng didn't know what his wife was planning to do with that woman, but he didn't ask and just followed her.
It wasn't until they returned to the seaside and boarded the boat that He Caiwei spoke up: "Brother, aren't you curious why I followed that woman? That woman is my father's eldest daughter."
He Caiwei found Lu Qingfeng's changing expressions somewhat amusing. She had shown her brother old photos of her father, who, despite being middle-aged, still looked quite handsome.
Her brother probably can't believe that this ugly woman is actually her father's daughter.
