The group of sisters-in-law were chatting when they suddenly saw Sheng Yueqing drive back, and immediately pointed in her direction.

"Isn't that Sheng Yueqing?"

"Why did she change cars again? Is it rented again?"

The other sisters-in-law also looked out.

"Last year it was a silver car, this year it's black. Did you buy a new car?"

Zhang Dahua scoffed, "It's definitely rented."

The other sisters-in-law preferred to believe that Sheng Yueqing bought it.

After all, Sheng Yueqing looks very capable.

Zhang Dahua was a little angry when she saw that they were still speaking up for Sheng Yueqing. "I think she rented it. That car looks old."

When she was in Shanghai, she had seen Sheng Yueqing's car. It was just an ordinary car, nothing compared to her family's luxury car.

The sisters-in-law were very curious. "Let's go take a look."

Anyway, Hejia Village isn't far from here.

Hejia Village has been completely demolished, leaving only a pile of earth and a road that was only half-paved.

Sheng Yueqing parked the car to the side of the road.

Let's go down and take a look.

He Yushen and the others also came down.

Worry-free and Joyful even ran downstairs to play.

"Mom, is that a railway over there?"

Sheng Yueqing nodded, "Mm."

"Once the railway is built, the country's development will get better and better."

The price of goods in Hejia Village will also rise accordingly.

After inspecting the road, they went to check on the progress of the resettlement housing construction.

The house isn't finished yet; it'll probably take another two or three years.

Some of the people from Hejia Village moved to the town to rent houses.

Some rented rooms in the neighboring village.

He Yushen's uncles and aunts all rented rooms in the next village.

When Grandma He returned, she unusually brought large bags and small packages to visit her sisters-in-law.

The women in the He family never expected that Old Mother He would be so generous this time, bringing back so many things.

This is truly unprecedented.

In the past, during holidays, Grandma He would at most give her some coarse grains as a token.

Then you can receive their return gifts, so you don't lose out at all.

Now they've brought so much stuff back!

Her sisters-in-law quickly took her things and laughed, "Look at you, you came all this way, why did you bring so much stuff?"

Could it be some unwanted item again?

She opened the bag and was surprised to find it contained pastries from Shanghai.

There are also many local Shanghai snacks.

There were even socks and scarves.

Although the styles look a bit strange, the stitching isn't very neat, some of the thick socks are uneven, and some scarves are uneven in width, at least the materials are good.

It feels soft and warm to the touch.

Grandma He distributed a portion to each person, appearing generous and magnanimous. "These wool scarves and wool socks are all from big factories. Each scarf costs ten yuan, and they are export goods."

Do you know what export goods are?

The sisters-in-law of the He family genuinely didn't know, and shook their heads, "What are export goods?"

Grandma He said proudly, "These are the kinds of goods that are exported and sold abroad!"

"Moreover, the export prices are different. For example, it sells for ten yuan in China, but it will sell for five US dollars abroad."

Do you know what Mikin is?

The sisters-in-law of the He family shook their heads. "What is rice gold?"

Grandma He, showing off her skills, explained to them, "It's foreigners' money."

"Foreigners' money is different from ours."

"Their money is worth more than ours."

The He family's sisters-in-law looked puzzled. "Why? Is our money worthless?"

Old Mrs. He shook her head, "It's not that it's worthless, it's that other people's items are more expensive."

"We spend a little money and make a lot of money off them, isn't that how we make a profit?"

"For example, if you sell a towel for three yuan and then sell it to them for thirty yuan, wouldn't you make a huge profit?"

The sisters-in-law understood: "So that's how exporting goods makes money in foreign countries."

Old Mrs. He nodded, "That's why these wool scarves and wool socks aren't cheap. Wear them properly."

Although the heels are a bit uneven and the colors aren't quite right, they're still wearable.

The He family's sisters-in-law initially thought these styles were strange, but couldn't quite put their finger on why.

When asked, Grandma He said that foreigners love these novel styles and they can't even buy them.

They even called it a fashion trend.

The sisters-in-law of the He family thought it made a lot of sense and happily accepted it.

After all, they would have to spend money to buy it themselves, so this saves them money.

Wuyou and Xile almost burst out laughing while watching from the side.

Joy: "No way, are they really that easy to fool?"

Those were clearly defective products from the wool factory, which were sold to employees at a 90% discount as employee benefits.

Grandma He thought that the New Year's goods she brought back would be very expensive, so she might as well buy these things that were 90% off.

If you buy too much, you can get some free gifts.

If the quality of the one you buy is a little lower, you can get one free.

So she specifically picked the worst ones, five pairs of socks for one yuan.

This is much cheaper than buying those New Year's goods on the street.

And those pastries and cookies were all gifts from Sheng Yueqing. She took the good ones to sell and bought the cheaper ones back.

Anyway, these sisters-in-law don't know either.

The reason for being so generous is that if I rent out my house in my hometown in the future, I will definitely need the help of these local sisters-in-law, so I gave them gifts to maintain our relationship.

Otherwise, given her stingy nature, she wouldn't be willing to buy even a tiny bit.

The sisters-in-law of the He family were quite satisfied.

In the past, it was already a blessing if we didn't get taken advantage of by Old Madam He; to get even a little something from her was truly a stroke of good fortune.

Sheng Yueqing also sent them some gifts, as usual, three gift boxes per person per household.

Everyone in Hejia Village and Shengjia Village received New Year's gifts.
