The Soul Reborn

10. Small Business

Was this time Shen Dongyuan really not blaming him?

But this time he was thrown a bowl by her, so perhaps Shen Dongyuan still blamed him. After all, the man was unbelievable. So Zhu Haimei had to rely on himself. Zhu Haimei has made his decision. After this, he would ignore anyone who had anything to do with Shen Dongyuan. After all, he was just borrowing the bodies of others. So, being willing to live after all, it was his own business.

When Zhu Haimei finished cleaning the room, the noodles he cooked yesterday were not hot, but they were still edible. Shen Dongyuan's anger again appeared when he saw her eating and drinking as if nothing had happened.

Shen Dongyuan still thought that this matter of Zhu Haimei with Zhong Yan was really due to Zhu Haimei's fault. Shen Dongyuan then took his clothes and walked out, he then closed the door loudly.

Zhu Haimei who sat beside the table smiled bitterly. He would be happy if Shen Dongyuan did not return. He really did not know what the owner of this original body liked from Shen Dongyuan. The man disliked him so much, but he still stuck to Shen Dongyuan, really looking for trouble. For a time, Zhu Haimei did not want to think about this matter. Because sooner or later, there will be a day when he will no longer be here to receive this cruel treatment.

After he finished eating and washing the dishes, Zhu Haimei saw that most of the dishes he had cooked yesterday were still left. He stared at the dish regretfully and then took a shovel and a small bag of candy that cost 0.2 yuan, and then went to Huang's house. The building is not soundproof and the sound of their quarrels is so loud. Zhu Haimei was sure everyone could hear his quarrel with Shen Dongyuan. But when Brother Huang saw the wound on Zhu Haimei's head, he looked very surprised and asked. "Why is your head?"

"It's okay, just banging." Zhu Haimei replied and smiled. "Sister, I've come to return the shovel. And this is for Qiang Qiang." Zhu Haimei said as he handed over a small paper bag.

Without waiting for a response from Brother Huang, he immediately turned around and descended. Even though Brother Huang called out to him, he still did not turn around and continued to descend downstairs slowly.

From now on, Zhu Haimei will be the woman who will fight for success. He will not bow to anyone. He will just do his best, try hard and keep fighting. He stood downstairs and took a deep breath, then stepped forward and ran towards the road that people rarely went through. A better life will begin again soon.

Brother Huang and her husband were very surprised when they saw a bag of candy given by Zhu Haimei. They did not expect that Zhu Haimei gave it to Qiang Qiang. Meanwhile Qiang Qiang who was beside them looked at the candy with saliva as if it was about to drip onto the table. "Mom, can I just eat a little?"

"You can eat it tomorrow, good boy. If you eat it at night, your teeth will be overgrown with worms."

Wu Tianlei then pulled his son into his arms. "Eating just a little bit doesn't matter, after all Qiang Qiang doesn't eat it every day either."

Brother Huang then took a little candy from the bag and fed it to Qiang Qiang's mouth. Little Qiang Qiang's face turned into joy. After that Brother Huang quickly stored the candy. Although the price of candy is only 0.2 yuan, but it is still valuable.

Perhaps Zhu Haimei had indeed changed, as he had specially bought sweets for Qiang Qiang. But someone can't change that fast, right?

The next morning, Zhu Haimei woke up quickly and immediately warmed up the leftover noodles last night. After that, he came out with his backpack. And his plan to eat the burrows (cold noodles) today, failed!

Although he still has not found a job, but he also should not be silent. He really did not want to go back to his hometown. He and Shen Dongyuan also did not know until when they could get through this. He had to make a living on his own, so that when he was expelled one day he could still eat.

Then there was an idea in Zhu Haimei's mind when he saw that there were so many people at the construction site. What about eating them? Zhu Haimei wanted to know about that. If possible, he wanted to sell home-cooked food or shui jiao mian tiao around the construction site. The workers must have breakfast and dinner at home. So, selling at lunch should be possible.

(Shui jiao mian tiao is one of the Chinese food in the form of noodle soup with dumpling.)

In life, food, clothing and shelter and means of transportation are very important.

Even if you don't have money, you still have to eat, right? Early in the morning like this, at the construction site there were still not many people. Zhu Haimei then ventured to ask one of the people.

"Sir, can I bother you for a moment?"

The man took the iron, about to start his work while saying to Zhu Haimei, "What's wrong?"

"I want to ask you, where are you having lunch?"

The reply made Zhu Haimei's heart feel extremely disappointed. "How much is food in the cafeteria?"

"Vegetables cost 0.2 yuan, meat 0.3 yuan, two montau 0.1 yuan and rice 0.11 yuan."

That's very expensive.

Zhu Haimei began to get excited in his heart. "Sister, I want to sell lunch here. Do you think someone will buy it?"

The man put down the iron and said, "I don't know."

"Then, are you going to go buy it?"

"I don't know."

The man continued to answer not knowing.

Zhu Haimei did not give up. "I want to open a liangpi stall (cold noodles). Do you think it'll sell?"

"Eitherway. Anyway we should be able to eat with fullness, because people who work like you need to do a lot of things." This was a very relevant statement to what Zhu Haimei wanted to know. The workers here make money by working very hard. So he had to sell cheap food and could be filling.

After that Zhu Haimei also asked a few others. Some say they can do it, some say no. But he had to try it first to find out if it could sell or not. But, here the weather is hot, they still have to eat hot food. Because if they eat cold food, it is not good for their bodies and tends to make the stomach nauseous.

Zhu Haimei then exited the construction site. He considered his plan carefully. If he wanted to sell food, he would definitely not be able to cook it at home. Buying rice and vegetables is also very difficult. It should have a wheelbarrow, fill gas cylinders, as well as prepare some pots, pans and so on.

For a house, he can rent it, but the house must be cheap. A wheelbarrow can also be rented. When he has the money, he will buy it himself. But for equipment like plates and so on, he had to order them first. Zhu Haimei recalled that the next bus stop was a village only about two miles away. He took a breath and walked there. The plan was very good, but he had no money at all. He had just had a fight with Shen Dongyuan, so he did not want to ask the man for money, but inevitably he had to ask him for money.

The feeling like 'someone should submit to the Host' was really bad.

Zhu Haimei finally arrived at the village. The village is called Shangshui Village. The people are very friendly. After Zhu Haimei went around, he finally found a suitable home for him. There was only one room and the house was very fragile. He did not bother because he only needed the house to put the things. In addition, there is also a small warehouse with firewood inside.

There was a stove on the left side of the house, but there was no pan on it. If Zhu Haimei wanted to use it, he would have to buy his own pot. Then there was a tree in the corner of the wall to the right of the house and there was a well beside the tree. Beside the well was a large stone slab. If the slab is washed clean, it can be used to put things. Because there was no furniture at all in his house, so the rent of one month only cost 3 yuan.

Zhu Haimei was very satisfied with the price. In addition, the owner of the house who is a middle-aged woman also looks very friendly. He even told her to hand over the money in the afternoon. After making an appointment, the middle-aged woman said she would wait for Zhu Haimei at her home at 3 p.m. In addition, Zhu Haimei also heard from the aunt that tomorrow is the 'market day' in the village. Here will be sold some rice and flour which are all home-made productions. After saying thank you, Zhu Haimei asked again about the gas cylinder rental place.

The woman was stunned and said, "Why are you asking about that thing?"

"Because I want to use it for business."

"That thing is very dangerous, but I have one at home. My oldest son bought it for me. If you want to use it, just take the one in my house, but you also have to pay 3 yuan per month for gas cylinder rental fees. There is no gas in it, so you have to go alone to fill it. The charging point is not far from here, it only takes half an hour from here."

An hour or so was not far away, but three yuan per month to pay for his gas tank alone was truly expensive. After haggling over the price for a long time, Zhu Haimei finally also obtained permission to use the flat goods trolley (flatbed trolley) for free. That way, the problem is now over. Actually Zhu Haimei did not want to ask for free, but he really did not have any money. If only this had happened in the time before he was reborn, let alone three yuan, even if told to pay three hundred yuan Zhu Haimei would have paid for it.
