Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 902: Chapter 902: Why Do You Want to Open a Shop?

"Sun Qing, we’ve known each other for years, just say whatever you want." Tang Yue had a gentle smile on her face, clearly Sun Qing had something to say.

"Mingli, let’s go check on Zaozao and Chenchen." Wei Jiajia stood up, intending to step aside.

"Boss lady, you don’t need to leave, actually this matter involves you too." Sun Qing quickly spoke when she saw Wei Jiajia was about to leave.

The title of boss lady was naturally given; Wei Jiajia wasn’t much older, but she was a generation apart from Tang Yue. Calling her aunt didn’t quite fit, and since Tang Mingli was the boss, Wei Jiajia naturally became the boss lady.

"Oh?" Wei Jiajia was a bit surprised.

Sun Qing cleared her throat, just about to speak, when Sun Rou showed signs of retreat, gently tugging on Sun Qing’s sleeve.

Sun Qing comfortingly patted her hand and said, "Boss lady, Tang Yue, I heard earlier that Jing City doesn’t have Little Angel children’s clothing, so..."

"Xiao Rou’s health isn’t great, she can’t do heavy work, so I wanted to ask whether Xiao Rou could open this children’s clothing store?" Sun Qing spoke all at once, then anxiously looked at Tang Yue and Wei Jiajia.

Wei Jiajia had only ever opened one Mingyue Clothing near Jinghua University, she hadn’t ventured into children’s clothing.

"I have no qualms, let Xiao Yue decide." Wei Jiajia already found managing one Mingyue Clothing while raising two kids exhausting, and a children’s clothing store wasn’t suitable near the university, so she never opened one in Jing City.

Wei Jiajia was aware of Sun Rou’s situation.

She herself couldn’t take on all the money-making endeavors, money couldn’t be earned endlessly, Wei Jiajia knew this well, therefore Sun Qing’s request didn’t upset her, she handed the decision over to Tang Yue.

Wei Jiajia’s attitude eased Sun Qing.

Tang Yue pondered for a while, looking at Sun Rou, asking, "I heard from your sister earlier that you are attending night school, do you have time to open a store? Also, owning a clothing store isn’t as easy as imagined."

Little Angel children’s clothing indeed was doing increasingly well, though not as large as Mingyue Clothing, it steadily maintained a good reputation and had plenty of returning customers.

Opening a clothing store doesn’t mean one can invest a bit and easily make money; the hardships involved are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Tang Yue knew about the previous debts of the Sun family, and she assumed Sun Rou wanted to open a store because Shen Jing left her money.

She heard Shen Jing was sentenced to death, yet never imagined he left money for Sun Rou before dying, after all the wrongs Shen Jing committed, it’s unclear if he found any remorse towards the end.

"I’ll keep attending night school; nowadays it doesn’t require going every night, I understand opening a store isn’t easy but it’s better than working in a factory, and it alleviates some of the family burden." Sun Rou spoke clearly and orderly.

Sun Rou had even thought through operational strategies post-opening the store; she expressed herself adeptly.

Even Sun Qing as her sister couldn’t believe Sun Rou had such clarity.

Sun Rou also disclosed receiving money from Shen Jing, and stated her intention to earn on her own to repay debts.

Tang Yue naturally didn’t oppose; Sun Rou acknowledging Shen Jing or not was irrelevant to her; Tang Yue saw Sun Rou’s determination and had no objections, after all, opening a children’s clothing store is the same as long as franchise fees are paid and managed well.

However, seeing Sun Rou’s face identical to Lian Qingqing’s, looking at her gentle smile, sometimes Tang Yue couldn’t help but feel disoriented, siblings from the same mother, yet Sun Rou and Lian Qingqing were completely different.

Even with Shen Jing’s money, Tang Yue thought if not for worrying about Mr. and Mrs. Sun, they still think about those external debts.

After Sun Qing and her sister left, Wei Jiajia sighed and said, "Sun Rou’s body, I heard is very frail, yet her wish to help the family is commendable."

Even if Sun Rou didn’t explicitly say she earns to improve Mr. and Mrs. Sun’s life, Wei Jiajia knew every month Sun Qing and her sister send things home.

"That’s true," Tang Yue nodded, saying, "Little aunt, I’ve agreed to the children’s clothing store for her."

"I alone can’t manage it all, nowadays with one clothing store and Tuantuan and Anan, I’m already overwhelmed, thankfully Anan is off to kindergarten, otherwise managing both would be overwhelming." Wei Jiajia thought of the siblings at home, they could be quite a handful.

"You don’t know, even though Tuantuan looks young, she is more mischievous than her brother."

"Everything Anan has, Tuantuan likes and wants to take, Anan as stubborn as he is, appears quiet but if his favorite toy car is taken, Anan would cry."

Whenever Wei Jiajia talked about her two children, she could talk until dawn.

Tang Yue’s mouth involuntarily twitched, asking, "Anan’s temperament seems good enough, he also cries?"

Anan’s character is usually very good, quiet, always letting his sister, and she really hadn’t seen Anan cry over a toy car.

"Certainly," Wei Jiajia sighed, "Tuantuan’s too spoiled."

The daughter is practically pampered by Tang Mingli to the extent she’s like a little princess at home, she rules the roost.

Tang Yue quietly glanced at Zaozao and Chenchen who were sleeping soundly, not knowing if this sibling duo would be like Anan and Tuantuan, maybe someday they too would bicker...

"Sister, these days I’ve thought a lot about opening the store; you’ve been working overtime at the factory, so I haven’t had a chance to tell you, sister, you’re not angry, right?" Sun Rou cautiously inquired.

Sun Qing had been coming and going early and late these days, working on her designs at night; busy as she was, Sun Rou naturally didn’t want to disturb her.

"I’m not angry." Sun Qing looked at her cautious demeanor, couldn’t help but say, "Xiao Rou, I’m delighted you thought it through so much, besides, I’m free this afternoon, I’ll go with you to look at store locations."

"Great."

Sun Rou finally cheered up, returning to her usual self, chattering endlessly beside Sun Qing, sharing all her expectations for the clothing store and her ideal locations.

The sisters looked for a long time but couldn’t find a suitable store; Sun Qing couldn’t accompany Sun Rou every day, so finding a store ultimately fell to Sun Rou. Sun Qing reminded, "Xiao Rou, health is a priority, the store can wait, just don’t overexert yourself, understand?"

With Sun Rou’s fragile body, if she strained herself and got sick, Sun Qing wouldn’t be able to explain to Daddy and Mom.
