Chapter 81 One cent, two cents ~ Little Money-Loving

The five dollars went from the aunt's hand into Chu Yue's pocket.

Wang Xiulan was jealous and felt hot-headed.

Next to Wang Xiulan was Li Dahua, a military wife who often gossiped with her. Li Dahua's eyes were not as sharp as Wang Xiulan's, but as soon as she saw where Chu Yue was, she knew what was going on.

"Comrade Chu, are you... selling something?" Li Dahua rushed forward and looked at the pine nuts and wild yams in front of Chu Yue.

When Wang Xiulan saw Li Dahua speak, she immediately seized the opportunity and spoke next.

"Sister Chu, your business is really good! I just saw that person handing you five dollars! You made five dollars in such a short time? Wow, this is much easier than working hard at a job. You might not even make five dollars in ten days or half a month!"

What Wang Xiulan said was a typical way of stirring up hatred. She was talking without any hesitation, and she deliberately used a light tone and shouted the eye-catching "five dollars" loudly.

After hearing this, the other sisters-in-law behind her looked at Chu Yue in a different way.

Chu Yue had met Wang Xiu Lan several times. The previous times, because He Meijiao was there, it was He Meijiao who rushed to the front and clashed with Chu Yue. Wang Xiu Lan hid behind her beautifully. Not only was she invisible, but she also gained a lot of benefits.

It's just that Wang Xiulan was unlucky. She finally vomited out the feast of fish and meat, and was despised by her sisters-in-law.

As for He Meijiao, she refused to give up even though she knew Lu Zhanlin was married. Perhaps Wang Xiulan was instigating this.

Chu Yue never tolerates such people and never has a good face towards them.

Her expression was cold and indifferent, with a sharp look in her eyes. She said directly, "Sister Wang, if you envy me for making money, you can also get pine nuts to sell. The pine trees grow on the mountain, only about ten meters high. As long as you can climb up, chop them down, and carry them back to the courtyard, then all you have to do is roast them over a fire, peel them, and finally go through a few steps to turn them into edible pine nuts. Sister Wang, you look so capable, you can definitely do it, right?"

Anyone who heard Chu Yue's words could hear her sarcasm and contempt for Wang Xiulan.

When it comes to making money, nothing in the world is easy.

Among the sisters-in-law behind me is Carrie Lam.

Carrie Lam is from the north and has seen how men climb trees and cut pine cones. She knows that every pine nut is the result of hard work.

She said directly, "Ms. Chu earns her money through hard work. That pine tree is so high, and every time she climbs up, she risks her life. Anyway, I don't dare. This is the money that Ms. Chu can earn. Wang Xiulan, if you envy her, just do as Ms. Chu says and climb the pine tree and cut the pine cones!"

"That's right... Wang Xiulan, you're really talking without any hesitation, what are you saying?..."

Other sisters-in-law also started complaining and were very dissatisfied with what Wang Xiulan had said before.

Wang Xiulan never imagined that not only did others not join her in "hating the rich", but they instead besieged her.

She was furious, her face flushed with anxiety as she said, "She...she...she is setting up a stall to do business!"

"Yes, I'm just setting up a stall to do business." Chu Yue stood up, looked at Wang Xiulan, and snorted coldly, "Is there an order prohibiting military wives from setting up stalls in the compound? Or are you jealous of me making money to supplement the family income, and want to go to Sister Song to tell on me?"

Chu Yue still hasn't found the person who secretly reported Song Hongmei last time. Now she brings up this matter specifically as a test.

Although Wang Xiulan is a bad person, she is not very cunning and her intentions are written on her face. She is obviously not the kind of person who would remain calm and report Lu Zhanlin's misconduct behind his back.

Following Chu Yue's words, the other sisters-in-law spoke up one after another.

"It's not like the past. Back then, doing business was just speculation. It's completely different now."

"Wang Xiulan, I think you're just sour grapes because you can't eat them, and you can't stand seeing others doing well!"

"I've told you so many times that the military wives in our compound are all one. If anyone tells Sister Song about something, I will definitely not associate with such a villain in the future."

The two of them kept talking, which made Wang Xiulan's face turn pale and she became anxious and frantic!

"I...I...I...I didn't mean that...Why are you..."

Wang Xiulan really couldn't understand what the charm of Chu Yue was. She had only been in the compound for about ten days, so why did everyone favor her?

Zheng Yue'e glared at Wang Xiulan and said, "Alright, we're here to buy New Year's goods. Don't bother Miss Chu with her shopping. Let's go... Miss Chu, the bus back home leaves at three o'clock. Don't miss it."

"Okay, Sister Zheng, I'll remember that."

Chu Yue smiled at Zheng Yue'e, and then watched her sisters-in-law leave one after another. Wang Xiulan was reluctant to leave at first, but was finally pulled by Li Dahua and had to leave.

As the sisters-in-law walked away, someone was still muttering in a low voice.

"Sister Chu can come to the market to sell things, so can we... I grow more cabbages than I can eat in the yard. Why didn't I think of selling them before? Even a little bit of money would be nice!"

It is obviously a very simple thing, but due to the long-standing limitations of the times, no one does it.

Chu Yue became the first person to try something new, which suddenly woke people up and made them realize that things are different now.

at the same time.

The voices of Chu Yue and her sisters-in-law attracted the attention of some people who came to the market.

An old lady came over and asked, "Little girl, I just heard you talking, and it seemed like you were a soldier's wife in the army?"

"Aunt, yes. My husband is a soldier, and I am a military dependent who came to join the army." Chu Yueluoluo answered generously.

The old lady laughed, "Good for military wives! Good for soldiers! Your husband is a soldier, he will definitely not cheat me out of my money! Give me some of that yam, I will buy it from you."

"Okay, auntie~"

This small conflict actually became a living advertisement for Chu Yue. After that, customers came to Chu Yue's stall one after another to buy some pine nuts and yams.

Gradually, not only was Chu Yue's bamboo backpack empty, but a lot of things in the space were also sold.

Her pockets were bulging with small coins, which added up to quite a bit.

…

"One cent, two cents... fifty cents... one cent..."

At night.

Lu Yuanbao took a shower and was tucked into a warm quilt. Unable to resist the sleepiness, he fell asleep in a daze, listening to Chu Yue's soft words and taking the sound of her counting money as a lullaby.

In his dream, he still saw Chu Yue’s happy and bright smile when she took out a handful of change.

Chu Yue was still curled up in the quilt, lying on the bed, with all her money placed next to her pillow, various small coins spread out, one cent together, two cents together, ten cents together, two cents together...

She counted the money slowly, her eyes sparkling. There was nothing more joyful than counting money.

This was exactly the scene that Lu Zhanlin saw when he pushed open the door and walked in.

The Chu Yue in front of him looked like a little squirrel hiding nuts in a tree hole in winter.
