It was precisely because the eighties were full of business opportunities that money came in fast.

Ni Yang laughed and said, “Mom, don’t be surprised. Actually, eight thousand yuan isn’t much. The shop I’m interested in is 508 yuan per square meter, and it’s a total of 50 square meters, requiring more than twenty thousand yuan. The money we have right now isn’t even half of that amount.”

All calculations done, she realized that if she worked hard, she could buy a store by the end of the year.

In the future, the price of real estate in Beijing had already risen to astronomical heights, especially for retail spaces.

Therefore, Ni Yang decided to buy more shops and houses to hold onto.

When she no longer needed to do the noodle business in the future, Ni Cuihua could just sit at home and collect rent.

When she thought of a promising future, Ni Yang couldn’t help but smile.

Ni Chenggui exclaimed in surprise, “Why are stores so expensive?”

Ni Yang laughed and said, “Because the location is not bad, this price is already a bargain.” In this era, being a self-employed entrepreneur was not a prestigious job, so many people were reluctant to do business, thus leading to lower prices for real commercial properties.

Although Ni Yang thought it was a bargain, others perceived it as expensive.

After all, the average wage for workers during this era was around thirty or forty yuan per month.

After Li Xianxian returned from the Mo family, she made a phone call to Dam Village from a public phone booth.

Since it took some time to connect the call and to call Li Shu, almost half an hour had passed.

When Li Shu picked up the phone, she was so antsy, fearing that her daughter would ask about Ni Yang.

As expected, right after saying hello, the second thing Li Xianxian asked was about Ni Yang.

Swallowing nervously, Li Shu tried to calm herself down and said, “Xianxian, don’t worry. Mu Yang, that damned girl, has been picked up by that old bachelor.”

In this situation, Li Shu could only choose to withhold the truth.

If she were to reveal the truth to Li Xianxian, Li Xianxian would surely blame her for not being able to handle such a simple task…

She didn’t want her daughter to be disappointed in her for being an incompetent mother.

Ni Yang left Dam Village with her incapable mother, two women with a burden, penniless. They may have already starved to death by now!

They were no threat to Li Xianxian who was far away in Beijing!

Moreover, Ni Yang was just a country bumpkin. Her daughter Li Xianxian was a university student and the lifesaver of a person of high status, with a promising future ahead of her.

Ni Yang was nothing in comparison to Li Xianxian.

Thinking like this helped Li Shu feel much reassured.

Fearing any oversights, Li Xianxian asked, “By the way, Mom, is Mu Yang’s mother surnamed Ni?”

Li Xianxian remembered that the reason why Ni Yang was called Ni Yang was because, like herself, she took her mother’s surname.

In fact, Li Xianxian and Ni Yang came from similar family backgrounds.

Fortunately, she got out of that cage early on.

“Yes, that’s right! Mu Yang’s mother is called Ni Cuihua,” Li Shu replied.

Upon hearing this, Li Xianxian felt a lot more assured.

It appeared that she was overthinking.

Mu Yang was Ni Yang.

The little Ni who cooked for Mrs. Mo had nothing to do with Ni Yang.

Li Xianxian continued, “Mom, be sure to keep an eye on Mu Yang. Don’t let her have any chance to escape or rebound.” Saying this, a malicious glint flashed in Li Xianxian’s eyes.

Li Shu originally wanted to ask Li Xianxian why she was so wary of Ni Yang, but fearing that her daughter would detect something, she held back her question.

“Xianxian, rest assured, I will not let her escape!” Li Shu’s legs were trembling as she said this.

Thankfully, she didn’t tell Li Xianxian the truth just now…

Otherwise, who knows how angry Li Xianxian would be.

Li Xianxian continued, “Right, I sent you some money a few days ago. You should receive it in a few days. Don’t forget to collect it at the post office.”

“Alright, Xianxian. I got it.” Li Shu replied, “Take good care of yourself out there. Don’t let me worry about you.”

Li Xianxian casually replied a few sentences before hanging up. At the same time, the rock hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground.

Li Shu, having hung up the phone on her end, also breathed a sigh of relief.

No, she needed to go back and pray to the bodhisattva, hoping that the bodhisattva would bless that little wretch, Ni Yang, to die early. Otherwise, she would always feel restless.
