Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Renting Out

"Second Brother." Tang Mingli abruptly stood up, glaring at Tang Zhengde, "I treat you as my second brother, but do you really see me as your younger brother?"

"Even the villagers around here borrowing money from one another doesn’t involve mortgaging houses. Why, in Second Brother’s heart, am I such a person?" Tang Mingli’s expression was clearly displeased.

In his heart, his eldest brother was like a father, their father passed away early, and it was their mother who raised the brothers.

"It’s not like that." Seeing Tang Mingli becoming agitated, Tang Zhengde didn’t say much else, only adding, "Alright, alright, I won’t talk about the house anymore, but Mingli, I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible."

"That’s more like it." Tang Mingli then sat back down and reminded, "Right, Second Brother, make sure you don’t tell anyone you borrowed the money from me, otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to our eldest brother and even mother might get upset."

"Okay." Tang Zhengde thought deeply for a moment and then understood Tang Mingli’s point.

Tang Mingli and Tang Zhengyuan had never seen eye to eye. Previously, due to Tang Mingli not being in a relationship with the elder brother’s sister-in-law, the brothers had a big fight over it.

Now that Tang Zhengyuan was injured, it was already quite generous of Tang Mingli to provide the money.

That very night, brothers Tang Mingli and Tang Zhengde began to discuss the shop’s renovation, how many bowls to buy and how many pots, even discussing the pricing and cost of these breakfast and meal services.

They continued discussing until eleven or twelve at night before the brothers went to sleep.

The next day, early in the morning, Tang Yue came over from school. Hearing that Tang Zhengde agreed to rent the storefront, she was immediately delighted and said, "Dad, this is really great! This is the money Uncle gave me, I’ve saved it all without spending any, it can be put to good use."

Tang Yue took out all of the US$ 100 she had saved, giving all of it to Tang Zhengde except for her pocket money, she said, "Dad, I know it’s not much, but it should be enough to buy a table or add some items."

"Xiao Yue, this is not a small amount at all, US$ 100 is quite substantial, how could your uncle give you so much money?" Before Tang Zhengde could finish speaking, Tang Yue interrupted, "Dad, every time he gets supplies, uncle gives me a little spending money, it accumulated over time, Dad, I’m also a part of this family."

Tang Yue flashed a sweet smile.

Tang Zhengde didn’t argue further, with the money brought by Tang Yue and the rent borrowed from Tang Mingli, opening a breakfast shop seemed entirely feasible. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Tang Yue first used the address left by Zhang Tingyu to find Zhang Tingyu. She met Mrs. Zhang, who maintained herself well, appeared youthful, was also quite stylish, wearing quite fashionable clothes. Though slightly old-fashioned compared to future trends, it was still quite commendable for the time.

"Hello Aunt Zhang, I’m Tang Yue, I’m here to see Zhang Tingyu." Tang Yue greeted with a light, refreshing smile, her demeanor neither influenced by the fact that they lived in a two-story house nor showing any different expressions, impressing Mrs. Zhang with her natural grace.

"Tingyu, your classmate is here." Mrs. Zhang warmly invited her in.

Zhang Tingyu already popped her head out from upstairs, happily saying, "Xiao Yue, wait a moment."

Soon after, Zhang Tingyu came downstairs in a change of clothes, joyfully holding Tang Yue’s hand and asked, "Xiao Yue, are you here to rent the store?"

"Yes." Tang Yue briefly explained her purpose, then added, "My dad and uncle are there waiting, do you think Aunt Zhang has time now?"

"Yes." Mrs. Zhang was impressed by Tang Yue, who gave off a clean and pure vibe. Her daughter being friends with Tang Yue made Mrs. Zhang quite happy, not to mention Tang Yue also had good grades.
