Chapter 520: The Greater the Hope, the Greater the Disappointment
Jiang Ran wasn’t intentionally making things difficult for the girl.
After what just happened, Jiang Ran realized something.
In beishi, there are many people who aren’t short on money, and plenty of women who love beauty.
When they see beautiful clothes, they surely want them. If one were to open a small wardrobe in beishi, business would undoubtedly be very good.
But relying on Jiang Ran alone, it’s impossible to handle a large number of customers, so she needs tailors.
The best would be tailors with excellent skills.
If she could get a few more, she could open a small wardrobe.
In this month, Jiang Ran didn’t put all the money she earned in the bank but used it to buy property.
She bought two more courtyard houses and a few shops.
These will appreciate in value in the future, and the potential for appreciation is enormous.
So, she now owns shopfronts.
After buying the shops back, basic renovations have been done, the floors, doors, windows, and walls are all fixed.
No matter what business is done in the future, simply put in what’s needed, and it could open for business.
As long as she finds a few tailors, opening a small wardrobe is just a matter of minutes, then that girl can buy as many clothes as she wants.
Thinking of these things, Jiang Ran didn’t ride her bike slowly, and 20 minutes later, she was home.
By the time she got home, the sky was a bit dark.
Looking to the west, the sun was no longer visible.
A breeze blew in, bringing a chill that made people instinctively pull at their clothes.
The western sky had red and yellow clouds, colorful and splendid. Even though the sunset was no longer visible, it was still so beautiful that one couldn’t look away.
It’s just a pity that no matter how beautiful the sunset, it’s too short-lived.
Soon the light of the clouds dimmed, until it finally turned gray.
Jiang Ran stood at the door watching, not going in. In the courtyard, Pei Jing ran out with his short little legs, directly running to Jiang Ran’s side, hugging Jiang Ran’s leg and looking up at her.
"Mom, what are you looking at? I’ve been waiting for you in the courtyard for a while."
Jiang Ran smiled at Pei Jing, "Mom is watching the sunset and the afterglow!"
Pei Jing looked towards the western sky, only seeing a patch of gray clouds.
"Is it a gray afterglow?"
Hearing Pei Jing’s question, Jiang Ran laughed.
How could the afterglow be gray.
"If it’s still sunny tomorrow, I’ll come back early in the afternoon to watch it with you, okay?"
"Okay!"
The mother and son said this and went into the courtyard together.
Often people say not to hope too much because the bigger the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Just like this time, Jiang Ran said she would watch the afterglow with Pei Jing the next day. But early the next morning, they heard the pattering of rain outside.
It was raining!
They say an autumn rain brings a chill, in autumn, every rainfall lowers the temperature by a few degrees.
Especially when it’s raining, it gets even colder.
Jiang Ran dressed herself and Pei Jing tidily, walked to the door, and opened it, welcoming the gust of cold wind mixed with fine rain hitting their faces.
Autumn rain doesn’t usually fall heavily, the fine rain is like threads woven into a net.
But even such rain, when it falls on your face, just one drop can make you feel piercingly cold.
