Grandma was surprised to see me back so soon and couldn’t help but ask, “Has Briley been sold out already?”
“Sold out, madam. After deducting the cost, you made a net profit of over 20 dollars!”
Grandma couldn’t help but exclaim, “My goodness, my dear, making so much money!”
I have figured it out. My cousin from my aunt’s house happened to be unemployed, so I asked her for help. She will work for me and earn a monthly salary of thirty dollars.
My small business started like this. I sold buns and steamed buns every day, and I didn’t have any conflicts with other shop owners, so the nearby snack vendors didn’t say much when they saw me. Occasionally, they even helped take care of my business.
After three months, I rented a storefront in town and had regular customers coming in every day.
A year later, I had more money on hand, and I also hired a few workers. I thought about expanding my business and selling buns and steamed buns in the
city.
Grandma heard about my plan and was very supportive. She was afraid that I wouldn’t have enough money, so she took out her retirement savings.
How could I want it?
“Grandma, don’t worry, I had money. I wanted to expand the steamed bun shop to all parts of the country!”
“I entrusted the local store to my cousin to manage.”
In addition, I also wanted to go and see Randall. When it comes to business, you still need someone to rely on.
I was going to the provincial capital, and with the connection of Randall, I would be successful in whatever I do in the future.
Without saying a word, Grandma immediately asked my cousin to accompany me.
“Last time when you got married, you were bullied and none of our family members were present. This time, when you go back, you will have the support of our family members, and you will return grandly!”
I agreed, and my cousin’s brother who runs the business in my store accompanied me.
The three of us arrived in the provincial capital. I had been away for a year and a half, and during this time, I hadn’t gone back. I would occasionally send a
telegram to ask about Macey’s recent situation.
Macey told me that Zain and Kyla did get married, and their days after marriage were chaotic.
Kyla was never someone who knew how to live within her means. She spent money recklessly all day long. Even the meager allowance Zain gave her was not enough. Every month, she couldn’t make ends meet and had to borrow money from everywhere.
I didn’t think much after I saw it, the path was chosen by myself, Zain likes it this way, he enjoys it, and I should bless him.
Stepping foot here again, I couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
My cousin Lorena Bryan didn’t rush to inspect, she directly pulled me to the department store over here.
“Briley, you are a female boss, after all, appearances matter, dress yourself up a bit!”
At the counter, she directly handed me a set of coats paired with a dress, “Our female boss looks so good when she dresses up, take a look!”
In a year and a half, I had money in my hands and my complexion improved.
My cousin chose a white cashmere coat for me, paired with a fitted dress, and also brought me a pair of small leather shoes.
“You dress like this, so young and yet so old–fashioned. My mom was right, you’re still young, and there’s a long road ahead of you. Once you wear this outfit, you’ll attract several young men!”
I couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time, but she was right. I was still young, and there was no need to ruin my whole life.
Let alone make money, why not spend it?
I didn’t hesitate and tried it on without saying a word. My cousin and cousin–in–law praised it endlessly.
“Briley looked good in it, so she decided to get this outfit!”
This set of clothes and shoes cost me more than five hundred in total. The things in the department store are not cheap.
My cousin couldn’t help but be amazed, “Things sold in this city are indeed expensive, but being expensive has its advantages. You look the part when you wear them!”
I also nodded, just as I was about to turn around, I heard a voice coming from behind, “Zain, do you think I look good in this?”

“Every time I go out with you to buy something; you give me a cold shoulder. What do you mean by that?”
It was Zain and Kyla!
