Chapter 138: Nothing to be afraid of

Watching a yard for half a month only costs 25 yuan!

Where can you find such a good job?

Although Zhou Yan has a skill, he doesn't have work to do every day. It's already very good if he can have work three or four times a month.

Moreover, he was following his master and not doing the work himself, so if he could get two dollars for each work, it would be considered generous from his master. Most of the time, he was just helping out and learning the skills from his master, and he didn't get any money at all.

Zhou Yan had not returned from the fields yet, but his mother readily agreed to the job, and then told Meng Shulan that the salary was not so high, and that one or fifteen yuan a day would be enough.

One dollar a day, thirty dollars a month, in their minds this is already very good.

You know the noodle factory in the town? There are people from their village working there. They only get paid twenty-six yuan a month, and they have to work on the assembly line every day, and they can't stop working.

Zhou Yan just went to check on the yard and do some odd jobs. He could take a break when there was no work to do.

It is said to be guarding the house, but from another perspective, doesn’t it provide food and accommodation?

Meng Shulan could see that Hu Bifang, her future mother-in-law, was okay. She looked somewhat strong and was the one who made the decisions in the family, but she was not greedy.

Hu Bifang also said that there is no need for so much.

Given her relationship with Meng Shulan, it would be fine for her to ask Zhou Yan to go over and help, but her mother-in-law was the one making the decisions at home, so she didn't dare to tell anyone about these things.

Meng Shulan insisted on giving twenty-five and told her about the thief who broke into their yard last night.

"My sister and I will leave in two days. My mother will take care of the children and sometimes go back to the village. By then, Brother Zhou may be the only one in the yard. I have to trouble him to ensure safety. He should take the money."

The two sisters had discussed it last night.

Since the source of their fabrics has been known to others, sales will definitely continue to decline unless new products are added.

During the half month they are away, it would be better to reduce the workload and only work the day shift.

After hearing that there was a thief in the store and Meng Shulan kept insisting, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't say anything. They just thought in their hearts that Zhou Yan should go over and do a good job, not sleep so deeply at night, get up and patrol a few times to ensure the safety of the store.

Soon, the eggs and brown sugar water in the kitchen were cooked.

While Meng Shulan was eating, Zhou Yan came back carrying a large tree stump and a hoe.

This man was still as dark as ever, wearing only a single layer of clothing in the middle of winter, and straw sandals on his feet. Just looking at his physique, one could tell that he was very strong, the type who could handle a lot.

When he heard that they were going to see the yard and that his mother and future daughter-in-law had agreed, Zhou Yan didn't have any objection. He even asked if they should leave now so that he could pack his things.

Meng Shulan smiled, "Not now, we'll go out the day after tomorrow, you can just go there before dark."

Meng Shulan told Zhou Yan the location of the store and he nodded. He knew the cinema in the town.

After Meng Shulan finished her egg and sugar soup, she didn't stay long. She got on the bike and prepared to go back.

Hu Bifang took off her apron and went out to see her off.

The two of them exchanged a few words as they walked out of the village.

When Hu Bifang heard that she was going to accompany her sister to South City, she also asked about the tutoring at school.

Meng Shulan said: "If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to get first place in this final exam."

She has read so many books in the past few months, and with Gu Hansong's notes, she would be embarrassed if she didn't get first place.

Hu Bifang smiled and nodded when she heard it. "That's fine. Be careful on the road."

"Um."

Meng Shulan got on her bicycle and was about to leave, but after thinking for a moment, she said to Hu Bifang, "By the way, if you have time during this holiday, you can take out your English book and review it. I feel that the trend may change next year, and English may account for a large percentage of the general examination. I don't think it will be much, but every bit counts."

Hu Bifang was stunned when she heard this.

"Shulan, where did you hear this news?"

Meng Shulan: "I don't hear it, I read newspapers and listen to the radio, and I feel it myself."

Hu Bifang nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Meng Shulan has good grades and is about to be top of the grade. It’s right to listen to her.

…

When Meng Shulan returned to town, Meng Changli had already invited Shen Chengyuan over.

In the morning, the two sisters went their separate ways, Meng Shulan went to Zhou's house, and Meng Changli went to call Shen Chengyuan.

Hearing that the two sisters were going to South City to look at goods and wanted him to come over as store manager to manage the store's business, Shen Chengyuan agreed without hesitation.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

He did not go with Brother Han when he went to South City this time. Firstly, he had to go there from time to time to take care of things in the city and contact people there. Secondly, he wanted to leave someone here so that if the Meng sisters had any difficulties, he could lend a hand.

Upon hearing that there was a thief in the yard yesterday and the information on the cargo list was read, Shen Chengyuan was very shocked and angry.

When Meng Shulan came back, the two were writing big-character posters in the small office.

Shen Chengyuan said to Meng Shulan: "Sister Shulan, don't be afraid of those people, and don't reduce production. Let them take the cloth supply. We will continue to make it as usual, and I will sell the finished goods to others.

Don't worry, you also want to go the wholesale route, so now that you've made up your mind, don't waste time. This half month happens to be the end of the year, what a good opportunity, if you miss it you'll have to wait until next year."

Shen Chengyuan was right. In the village, many families would buy a new set of clothes at this time of the year.

In fact, Meng Shulan was reluctant to leave these half months, but since they both had to leave, she thought there was nothing she could do.

Now Shen Chengyuan wants to help them take over this business, so let him do it.

Meng Shulan: "Okay, you decide. If this wholesale business can be successful, I'll give you a commission on all the goods sold."

Meng Changli also agreed. She also told Shen Chengyuan that she was willing to give concessions on the price as long as she could kill the one at the entrance of the town.

In the past, Meng Changli would not have been so bold.

She and her sister are not here, so the stall is handed over to Shen Chengyuan. Not only does he have to keep it running, but he also has to open up new markets. Since they are not here, there is no way to discuss anything, so the risk is actually very high.

But Meng Changli was disgusted by what happened last night. She really didn't want to see that family showing off, so she didn't care about anything else.

Now that you've made the decision, just go for it. By then the streets will be full of these goods and it will depend on who can sell more.

That day, the two sisters discussed with Shen Chengyuan for most of the day and temporarily decided on the price and contract.

In the afternoon, He Jinqiu came over. When he heard that the company was going to immediately switch to wholesale, he thought about it and didn't say anything.

In He Jinqiu's heart, his eldest daughter is good at making clothes and can make the same things to a level that others cannot achieve. Even if this wholesale business fails, she can eventually open her own stall.

As long as you learn the skills well, you will have the capital to start over again. There is nothing to be afraid of.
