She Lives Well with the Shopping App in the 80s

On the other side, Mother Yun also went back to her parents' home with Father Yun.

Things were really lively on her side.

"Little sister, I heard that your Tiaotiao opened a department store. Is it true?"

The eldest sister-in-law suddenly asked about this.

"The house was bought by my Xiaoxiao, and she's having the wife of Laoer help manage it."

It's no wonder; Aunt Yun, having lived with Yun Xiaoxiao for so long, knew that her niece had some great ideas.

And now, hearing that she spent so much money to buy a house—

It's truly impressive.

Aunt Yun looked at Mother Yun, "If I recall correctly, they both just went to the Capital City a few years ago, right?"

This niece is quite remarkable, you know.

In just a few years, she's managed to earn money that we couldn't make in a lifetime.

That big house must have cost a pretty penny, huh?

Aunt Yun mentioned to the others, "I heard from Little Aunt that she and Xiaoxiao have published several books together. Plus, she opened a shop, and Xiao Zhao is clever too; with his brothers, they opened a store, and as long as they're not afraid of hardship, they can make money."

Uncle Yun added, "Now that economic reforms have opened up, there are more individuals going into business. As long as they're not afraid of hard work and can find a way to make money, they can earn quite a bit. Just take Xiaoxiao's translations, for instance; translating a book brings in hundreds of dollars, if not more. And I see that Xiao Zhao isn't afraid of hard work. Nowadays, the country relies on young people."

"That's true."

Grandpa Yun suddenly chimed in, "Earlier this year, Xiaoxiao sent me and your mother a big package full of stuff. Knowing you were coming back on the second day of the new year, I had the nanny make some dishes for you to try at lunch."

This made Aunt Yun and the others feel a bit awkward.

Their own kids don't think of their parents that much anymore; they mostly have their own families now.

"Xiaoxiao is very filial to you two; we also received a big package of goods."

"Xiaoxiao, being the youngest, hasn't been spoiled for nothing."

This certainly makes things more complex.

"Why don't we go to the Capital City with Mom and Dad next year for the new year?" Second Sister-in-law Yun lived at her parents' place, so she didn't need to return on the second day of the new year. However, the department store was bustling, and she wasn't over there but at the restaurant.

Since they opened a restaurant, Second Brother Yun invited some of his fellow apprentices and offered them each a share.

During the new year, they all took turns on duty.

"Okay, we can pay back the money we owe little sister by then, and we'll be debt-free."

Second Sister-in-law Yun knew that little sister had money and didn't need to buy the house and then rent it to them.

But it was because of her spouse that she did so.

Business has been excellent every month, earning more than they ever dared to imagine.

Really.

She thought her husband was making a good amount each month with the noodle shop.

But after opening the department store, she realized just how much money they were raking in each month.

Holding this sum of money in her hand, her heart surged with excitement.

But then her dad suddenly said: You still owe your sister-in-law money.

This brought her back to reality.

"Do you think I can open another department store next year?"

Second Brother Yun thought for a moment, "You can ask little sister about that. I'll just stay here with Dad and my fellow apprentices, and watch over this restaurant. I plan to expand a little more, and Dad plans to take on some banquets."

This place indeed needs to be a bit bigger.

"What's the big deal? Let's just do it all at once; then we can host banquets and even have weddings in the restaurant."

"That must cost quite a bit, right?"

"We've got the money."

In any case, we have to buy the house; renting is not an option.
