The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

Li Shengli and Ye Zhao would never do such a thing.

Li Tian didn't point fingers at them.

"Aunt Zhang can help run errands; she won't work for free, we'll give her a tip for her hard work."

"Even if Aunt Zhang doesn't have that much time, her son can help manage it."

"It's not a complicated or difficult matter; you just need to be conscientious and responsible."

Mr. and Mrs. Li Shengli exchanged a glance.

It's good that they can provide a solution; at least they have their own awareness and aren't just thinking about relying on others.

"Those apartments have all been simply painted, but they haven't been furnished yet. If you want to rent them out, don't you need basic tables, chairs, and beds?"

"It will cost a lot of money to get these."

Li Tian nodded.

Since it was about teaching the children, Li Shengli continued earnestly, "Right now, the only thing you can decide is your own house. As for your father's house, we have to ask his opinion. Your aunt's house can't be touched; I can't make decisions for her. But you can discuss your eldest aunt's house with Zilong."

Li Zilong supported Li Tian's decision.

If a vacant house could be used to make money, that would be ideal.

"Tian Tian, ​​if this is feasible, I'm willing to rent it out."

Li Tian smiled and patted Li Zilong's arm.

Having a staunch ally is really good.

However, Li Tian was unaware of the current rental market and didn't know how long it would take to recoup her investment.

Whether this matter can be done or not needs to be carefully considered.

Since we had to ask Zhang Sao's opinion anyway, we simply called her over.

"Aunt Zhang, how much would it cost to furnish a two-bedroom apartment? And how much would the rent be if you rented it out?"

Aunt Zhang thought about it in her mind.

"If you're just setting up a basic bed and table and chairs, a brand new set would cost at least two hundred dollars."

"Second-hand furniture is cheaper, but it depends on its condition and also on luck."

"A brand new two-bedroom apartment would only cost around ten yuan per month in rent. Truly wealthy people don't lack housing, and those without housing generally can't afford to rent anything too nice. Ten yuan is already considered relatively high rent."

In other words, even if you use second-hand furniture, it will take a year, or even more than a year, to recoup the cost.

Although it takes longer to see results, it's better than having nothing at all.

Before Li Tian came of age, or even before she got married, it was impossible for her to move out.

Property appreciation over the long term is a significant investment, but there's no need to overlook small rental income.

For the rest of the Li family, this amount of money wouldn't be enough to make a fuss, but it meant something different to their two children.

It is a stable source of capital accumulation.

"Brother, what do you think?"

Li Zilong didn't rush to answer Li Tian, ​​but first asked Li Shengli to confirm whether he could make the decision.

"The house you gave to your mother is yours. Apart from buying and selling it, you can decide how to use it as you see fit."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

With Li Shengli's support, Li Zilong nodded to Li Tian.

"Tian Tian, ​​I want to rent it out too."

Having lived at home for a long time, Aunt Zhang knows quite a few things.

She trusted her boss's judgment and used all her family's savings to buy a smaller house.

"Sister Zhang, we have two houses that we would like to entrust to you, or rather, to your family to manage."

"It's not a big deal. It's just about furnishing the place, renting it out, and collecting rent on time."

Before Zhang Sao could raise any questions, Li Tian continued to share her thoughts.

"We're too young to do this ourselves, but we won't let you help us for nothing."

"I will give you 10% of the monthly rent as a hard-earned allowance."

"Aunt Zhang, would you like to?"

Aunt Zhang looked somewhat embarrassed and lowered her head without saying a word.

Who wouldn't want to make money?

But this money isn't so easy to earn.

Since the leaders had agreed that the children could make their own decisions, Zhang Sao didn't ask Li Shengli and his wife any further questions.

"Tian Tian, ​​running errands is nothing to us. Do you have any requests? We don't know if we can do it."

Li Tian knew that Zhang Sao was interested, but had reservations.

It's nothing.

Business is all about negotiation.

Only mutual benefit can ensure long-term sustainability.

"Aunt Zhang, my siblings and I will pay for the furniture, but we need you to check it out. No matter if it's new or old, it has to be sturdy and can't look too worn out."

"I'll give you a percentage of your hard work; how much you earn depends on your skills."

"If the rent is twenty dollars a month, then you can get two dollars."

"The pay isn't much, but the job is tough at first, and then it's just collecting rent."

Li Tian was a little worried that Aunt Zhang wouldn't value one or two yuan.

Aunt Zhang thought this was a good idea. Apart from having to run around buying furniture, finding tenants and collecting rent could be handled by her parents-in-law.

"Okay, if you trust me, I'm willing to take it on."

Li Shengli's voice rang out at just the right moment.

"Xiao Zhang, we only rent our houses to people with regular jobs; otherwise, we won't agree to rent them no matter how much money they offer."

Without a second thought, Aunt Zhang agreed.

Safety is definitely the top priority.

"Aunt Zhang, please start preparing right away."

"Once you've chosen the furniture, I'll give you the price and the cost."

"Okay, I'll take care of it when I have time."

Li Tian wasn't exaggerating.

In addition to the ten yuan pocket money that Li Yuanchao gives her every month, she also receives New Year's money, as well as pocket money from her maternal grandparents and uncles when she went to Shanghai at the beginning of the year.

She has about three hundred yuan in her hand right now.

That's enough.

She didn't ask how much money Li Zilong had; if he didn't have enough, she was willing to lend it to him.

If you don't manage your money, your money won't manage you.

Strong winds won't blow away your money.

The exam was coming up soon, and after saying this, the two children went back to their room to study.

Even the smartest person has to work hard.

But after they returned to the house, Li Shengli received a phone call.

After hearing who had called, he immediately went to the study.

Knowing the matter was serious, Ye Zhao didn't go over, but waited in the living room.

Half an hour later, Li Shengli came out of the study.

Ye Zhao handed him a cup of hot milk.

Li Shengli sat next to Ye Zhao and quietly drank it.

The benefit of weathering storms is that it helps you stay calm and collected.

After washing up and returning to his bedroom, Li Shengli brought up the phone call he had just received.

The bombing case has been solved.

"It was Liu Erniu who did it, or more precisely, it was Liu Erniu's wife who did it."

"After losing her son, she hated everyone, especially me for not helping her. She took advantage of Liu Erniu's job to collect explosives and also hired thugs."

Ye Zhao can understand a mother's feelings, but there are also things she can't understand.

"But how did she know Tian Tian's schedule? Did she follow her? Does she have that kind of ability?"

"What a coincidence! Last time, during the speculation and profiteering incident, I brought down a district head surnamed Chen, and it just so happens that Chen's family is related to Liu Erniu's wife."

"She has an inside man in the capital."

"I rarely go out, so they started targeting my car."

"They've got their eyes on those two kids."

"The children are innocent victims of my misfortune."

Ye Zhao patted Li Shengli's hand, telling him not to overthink it.

"Don't say that. Everything has a cause and effect. A family will naturally advance and retreat together."
