Only then did Tian Tian realize that during this period, someone from her grandmother's side had found Lin Meiyu's home.

"Didn't you ask your aunt to do some business before, and she didn't agree? This time, your aunt asked about this matter!"

"Why did she come here only now? It's been almost two years, right?" Tian Tian asked.

Before, she saw that her aunt was having a hard time. It just so happened that the private economy had just started to develop at that time and was at the forefront of the trend. In fact, no matter what you do, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to make some money.

But people at that time were simple, but not stupid. Two or three years had passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone basically understood that those private economies could indeed make money, so many people found ways to do business on their own.

The business practices that Tian Tian proposed before have already been implemented by others. If you add money to them now, you can still make money, but it will definitely not be as much as in previous years.

"Isn't it because your sister Lili and Shen Lingling are living a good life now? So they also have the same idea! They also want to make some money." Lin Meiyu said.

There is no need to talk about Shen Lingling. When she came back from a trip, the clothes she wore were not owned by people in their county. She wore big black sunglasses and jeans, which was trendy in the words of young people.

Although many people would talk about Shen Lingling behind her back, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Shen Lingling had made money.

Not to mention Tian Lili. After taking over Shen Lingling's business, she was not afraid of hard work. She worked hard every day from dawn to dusk. In winter, she sold chestnuts, and in summer, she sold other things, such as stewed toads and fresh crickets. These things were difficult to clean, but Tian Lili was not afraid.

Every day she would catch frogs and crickets before dawn, then carry them to the county town and cook them in a pot. If people were craving for them, they would buy some from Tian Lili, and she would sell them after they were sold out.

Because these things are all meat, and Shen Lingling prepares them on the spot, she sets up two large pots. When one pot is sold out, Shen Lingling takes the toads and crayfish out of the bucket, cleans them and guts them on the spot. They look clean, so many people are willing to buy a bite to try them.

Because the policy on renting houses has been relaxed a lot, Tian Lili used to just make things in the house rented by Shen Lingling and then deliver them to people. Now Tian Lili rented another storefront and started selling chestnuts and roasted nuts. If there is something in season, she will also sell some of that seasonal stuff. Her business is pretty prosperous now.

Because Tian Lili is willing to endure hardships, she has earned a lot of money now. She still rents the original house. Although the house is smaller, the rent is cheap. She also brought Tian Youliang to live with her and sent him to elementary school.

Of course, there were also many people who were jealous of Tian Lili's money and used some tricks on her behind her back. Tian Lili also knew that she couldn't let herself earn all the money, so she hired people in the village to pick up wild products for her. The things she picked up were weighed by kilogram, and she gave them three cents per kilogram.

If the mountain products I pick up are of inferior quality, I will never cooperate with this person again next time.

As time went by, the people in the village were able to earn money, and they sent Tian Lili some of the best chestnuts, hazelnuts, and mushrooms to make money, saving Tian Lili the work of picking. Both parties benefited, and the cooperation became more and more tacit.

Now the mountain products picked by their team are not enough to meet the needs of Tian Lili, so they have begun to develop business with surrounding teams. All the mountain products picked by other teams are sent to their team. Their team will first pay for them, and then give it to Tian Lili.

There were also some cunning people who sent some inferior wild products to their team, but Tian Lili didn't need to say anything. The people in their team found that person out and got rid of those things, and said that they would never cooperate with that person again. When the others saw the consequences, they also put away their own little ideas.

There are also many people who see Tian Lili making money and want to go up the mountain to get some wild products to sell in the city. However, Tian Lili is now famous in the county. If people want to buy wild products, they will think of buying them from Tian Lili's house. Moreover, the food at Tian Lili's house tastes good and the price is not expensive, so they will not choose other people. This leads to the fact that other people do not earn particularly much money, but they can still make money.

Of course, Tian Lili is still doing the wholesale business of candied chestnuts, but when she sells them, she will mark their candied chestnuts with her own unique logo to prevent others from selling their candied chestnuts as Tian Lili's. Tian Lili also told these people selling candied chestnuts that the price is definitely not lower than that of her store.

The others had no objections either. Firstly, the price that Tian Lili gave them was definitely enough for them to make money. Secondly, the candied chestnuts with Tian Lili's logo sold better, so these two points would not have any impact on it, so they readily agreed.

"I heard your sister Lili is currently working on something?"

"Patent!" Tian Tian reminded.

"Yes, it's this patent!" Old Mrs. Tian slapped her thigh, "He said that if there is this thing, others can't use what Tian Lili uses. If others use it, they will be fined. I don't understand what's going on, but I just heard Tian Lili's mother tinkering with it!"

"Sister Lili wants to register a patent for the trademark. She now carves a unique symbol of hers on the kraft paper packaging of the chestnuts she sells. People often use this symbol to impersonate her chestnuts and sell them to consumers. Unfortunately, those chestnuts are not good, with worm holes all inside and are very small in size. Sister Lili was very angry, so she decided to register the trademark so that it would be illegal for others to use it!" Tian Tian explained.

Before, Tian Lili made a special phone call to talk to Tian Tian about this matter. Tian Tian then thought of a solution for Tian Lili. Unexpectedly, Tian Lili was so proactive that she wanted to implement it immediately after knowing the solution.

"We don't understand the fancy words you are talking about. Anyway, Tian Lili is becoming more and more successful. Every day there are coal miners going to her mother's house to propose marriage to Tian Lili. The threshold is really being trampled down." Lin Meiyu sighed.

People in this world are so realistic. When Tian Lili got divorced, many people mocked her. Even her family members, although they felt sorry for her, inevitably felt a little ashamed.
