Chapter 690: Chapter 684: Renting a Shop Turns into Taking Over a Shop
“So that’s how it is. Since you’ve said that, I won’t hide it from you anymore. Yes, my business has been targeted by others out of jealousy. My business was quite good, bringing in about US$40 to US$50 of inco every month. But it was tiring too.
People only saw my daily inco and didn’t realize that I was also making hard-earned money. Soone ca to and said he wanted to transfer the shop to him. Of course, I refused. This is the source of livelihood for my entire family.
If I gave the shop to him, what would we eat and drink? After a while, soone ca to eat and claid to have been poisoned, and it caused a commotion. After so ti, the incident passed, and my business slowly improved. However, the good tis didn’t last long, and another incident happened soon after. This ti, my business plumted, and the losses dragged on for a long ti.
I thought about renting out the shop, but every ti we reached an agreent, the deal would change the next day. The situation dragged on for a while, and I had no other choice but to sell the shop.
However, soone ca and said to give it to him at a low price, or else my business would continue to suffer, and I would end up closing the shop. But if I closed the shop, I would have no inco and no savings; what would our family do?
If you, brother, are genuinely interested, then I won’t say much more. I can’t go lower than US$ 1,000. That’s what I paid for it initially, and I have the contract to prove it. If you don’t believe , I can show it to you.
Now I realize that as long as the shop is in my hands, I won’t be able to do anything. It seems that you are a good person, so if you really want it, just give a sincere answer. What do you think?” The shop owner revealed his situation after listening to Qin Lei’s words.
Since the others had spoken so clearly and the couple didn’t seem like the type to use tricks, he was willing to give them the shop even if it ant not making a profit. At least, he would feel better about it.
Otherwise, if he finally had to give it to that scum, he wouldn’t even get his investnt back, and that would be unbearable. With that in mind, he would rather feel comfortable and not let the rogue succeed.
“Boss, can my wife and I discuss it for a mont before giving you an answer?” Qin Lei hadn’t talked to his wife yet, and US$ 1,000 was not a small sum. Their entire family savings added up to less than US$ 1,000, so he couldn’t agree without consulting his wife first.
“Sure, you two discuss it. I’ll wait for your answer.” The shop owner understood that not every family had that much money at this ti; US$ 1,000 was quite a lot. Adding another US$ 1,000 could buy a small apartnt on the street, so he could understand Qin Lei’s hesitation, especially since his wife was right beside him. They wouldn’t need much ti, and after waiting so long, he could wait a little longer.
“Shulan, it’s going to cost US$ 1,000. What do you think?” Qin Lei pulled his wife aside and asked her.
“This US$ 1,000 is indeed not a small sum, and our family doesn’t have that much money. I was initially thinking of renting, but now it’s turned into buying, and we don’t have that much money to give.” Nangong Shulan felt a bit upset, as the original plan was to rent, but now it had turned into buying.
This caught Nangong Shulan off guard, as having a shop was nice, but it was way beyond her original budget.
Wouldn’t this an their family would run out of food? No, they wouldn’t, but she was still a bit frustrated. This was not what she had initially planned at all, but her husband seed very eager to have this shop.
As expected, his next words confird her suspicions.
