Chapter 69 - Finding a Storefront (1)

Every time when she got to this point, Yan Shuyu would feel that she could not go on any longer. Hunger was making her entire body shook, her heart palpitated, and she felt weak. The only thing that she could think of was to give up. She would walk into the kitchen from the living room tens of times.

Finally, looking at the excess fat around her belly, she told herself, “Must persist. Persistence is victory. Then I will be able to wear pretty dresses, and be everyone’s object of envy. Persist….”

For some odd reasons, she wasn’t able to fall asleep that night. By the time she finally felt sleepy, the sky had already started to light up. Shu Yan washed her face with cold water and went out to buy breakfast. When she arrived at the breakfast shop, she had a gla.s.s of soy milk and started sipping on it. She was so hungry all night long that she couldn’t even sleep. She felt so lightheaded when she walked over there, she might as well have flown over.

She felt more alive after she had breakfast. She prepared the lunchbox, took the two kids to school, and happened to run into Lin Hui.

“Hey, just the one that I am looking for,” said Shu Yan to Lin Hui with a smile. “My daughter has always been living in the village with her grandmother and she was behind in her cla.s.s. I am thinking about signing her up for after school academic programs and she mentioned that Tongtong are in some of them. Where are they located? I would like to go check them out.”

“Not too far from here. Just that little district behind the school. It is run by a few retired professors of City Nan University and their teaching methods work pretty well with the kids. Lots of people sign their kids up with them. I need to go to work right now. Why don’t we do this? I will take you over there after we pick up the kids in the afternoon.” Lin Hui needed to go to work so she couldn’t stay and chat with Shu Yan for too long. She took off after she finished saying that.

Shu Yan hadn’t expected them to be run by retired professors of City Nan University. If all checked out tonight, she could sign her daughter up right away.

After she had dropped off Ye Tianbao, Shu Yan skipped checking on the re-modeling of the new house and went straight to visit Lao Hu.

“Hey! Ms. Shu! I was just about to go look for you.” Lao Hu quickly welcomed Shu Yan into his place after he had spotted her.

“So? Were you able to find any storefront for sale?” If there were something suitable, she planned on buying a couple of them so she could start her new business carefree. Once she had made some money, she’d buy a couple old and decrepit old houses in the remote area. When the development happened, she’d divide them up between the two children and that’s the best she would be able to do for them.

“Right now it’s pretty easy to rent something there. Rent is over $1,000 a month. That’s like a chicken that can lay gold eggs. n.o.body is selling.” Lao Hu had run up and down West City Xi Road the last couple of days and contacted every person that he could but n.o.body was selling. Everybody said that the one store could feed three generations; n.o.body was stupid enough to sell their storefront. “But I did find a boutique who’s looking for someone to take over. Are you interested in going to take a look at it?”

Shu Yan wasn’t particularly disappointed. She didn’t have high hopes to begin with. It was never easy to buy a place; even if someone was selling, she would have to go take a good look first.

“Oh? How’s the location? What kind of terms are they talking about?” Most businesses rent the storefront. Shu Yan felt that as long as the location was decent and the landlord was reasonable, it wasn’t half bad to rent a storefront for now.
