After watching those people being shot, Yuan Yang returned to the Special Administrative Region, planning to change her name and move her household registration here after a while. Then she would be able to break away from the past and start a new life with her family in this new place. As long as they didn't investigate closely, others would not know her past.

Now that my son and daughter are by my side, my future looks bright.

She will be fine, and her life will get better and better, otherwise it will be a shame for her to escape from that hellhole with so much difficulty.

Things had a satisfying result, Yu Qingshan relaxed and smiled more often.

Pan Hu was also shot because of his crimes. Apart from the case with Yu Xianghe, he had also killed people before. Killing someone means paying with your life. What else is there to say?

Miao Hongxing felt relieved when she learned the result. The burden in her heart was gone and her wallet was fatter. Not only would she be able to sleep well from now on, but the money in her hands would also be enough for her family to live a good life.

…

Gao Yimei is having a hard time now, because their fabric factory has been hit too hard, and the goods in their factory are piled up in the warehouse and can't be sold. In the past, the fabric was in short supply, and there were not enough fabric coupons. She used all kinds of means to plead with them and find a solution, but now the situation is reversed. Gao Yimei is not unaware of why the fabric factory is in this situation. The patterns and colors produced are too old-fashioned, and she herself doesn't like them. She wants to buy clothes and likes the trendy ones outside. However, the people who really make the final decision on production don't think there is a problem and think it's good.

What can she do?

I used to have to work overtime, but now I just sit there doing nothing all day.

Without a job, there will naturally be no bonuses, and benefits will be drastically reduced, leaving only a fixed salary.

Life became difficult.

Income has decreased, but prices outside are rising.

She had three children, all of whom had to go to school, and had to pay tuition, books, and miscellaneous fees, etc., plus the money she had to give to her parents, she couldn't save much for her own family.

Gao Yimei was calculating the money at home and was worried.

Zhang Dashi came back from get off work and saw her frowning and worried. He asked, "What's wrong?"

Gao Yimei's temper flared up immediately: "You still ask what's wrong? What's wrong? The child will go to junior high school next year, and it will cost more money. What's wrong? When the two little ones go to junior high school, the family will not be able to make ends meet!"

Zhang Dashi frowned as well: "How much money is left at home?"

Gao Yimei took out the iron box containing the money and showed it to him: "It's all here."

They originally had some savings, but their youngest daughter fell ill and could not be cured in the county town, so they went to the city for treatment for two or three months. She was finally cured, but there was not much money left after they had saved over the years.

Gao Yimei was in charge of the family's money. After this calculation, she naturally became annoyed and irritated: "Life in the countryside is so good now. The family has no worries about food or eggs. They live a more comfortable life than us. Do you still need to give so much money every month? You also know how much money we have left now. Can't you give less during this period?"

Zhang Dashi stopped talking.

In the past, the family was in financial difficulty and he was the only one who managed to escape poverty. He would give ten yuan to his parents every month, and he continued to do so even after he got married.

There really wasn't much money left at home now. He took a look at the money in the iron box and found that there was less than a hundred yuan.

This little money is not enough.

"My parents have a hard time. I'll think of other ways." He still disagreed with reducing the filial piety money.

Gao Yimei was not surprised to hear the answer, and closed the box forcefully: "Then can you think of a solution? What else do you want to do in this job? Aren't you afraid that others will report you?" This uniform is an honor, but also a restriction.

Zhang Dashi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What do you think I want to do? Of course it's serious things. I won't do anything out of the ordinary."

Gao Yimei snorted coldly: "Then tell me, what other options do you have? Be a porter after get off work?"

Zhang Dashi: “…”

How did she know.

Gao Yimei didn't want Zhang Dashi to be a porter again. It was too hard to earn money by his own labor. "You should take a rest. If something bad happens again, what will happen to your family?"

Zhang Dashi: "I'm fine. I'm strong and healthy. What can happen? I just need to get through this period of time."

But Gao Yimei had no confidence. If the leaders above did not change, the business of the fabric factory would only get worse.

She paused, then calmed down, "I have already written to my friend."

Zhang Dashi: "Which friend of yours?" He remembered something. "Is it your friend who went to college and then went out to work in the entertainment industry?"

Gao Yimei nodded: "Yes, that's her. Her business is doing so well now. No wonder she would go into business. Look at her sister-in-law from her mother's family. She makes money like water. She is already building a house this year. She must have made a lot of money."

Zhang Dashi: "...Aren't you afraid of what others might say?"

Gao Yi frowned and said, "If I'm living a good life, let others say what they want. I can't lose a piece of meat."

Yu Xiangan had been keeping the fact that she was going into business a secret, but this year he couldn't keep it a secret any longer.

Someone else from Baishi County was admitted to Capital University. Upon hearing this, word came back that Yu Xiangan had resigned and was going to the Special Administrative Region to start a business.

This caused a heated discussion in a small circle, and I wonder how many people thought she was too optimistic.

How great it is to have a stable job, with a bright future and a guaranteed income. When you retire, the government will provide for your retirement. Even a god would not want to live like this. So why did she quit?

Many people, especially the older generation, can't understand it.

Some even went to Qin Qiang and Yao Cuifen, urging them to talk to Yu Xiangan and ask him to come back as soon as possible.

As long as she admits her mistake and shows a good attitude, her superiors will definitely be willing to let her go back. Students from prestigious universities are so precious.

What?

She made a lot of money from her business?

Isn't that just a nouveau riche?

It won't last long.

No matter what they said, Yu Xiangan could not change her mind. She just didn't plan to go back in the near future. If she went back, she would have to face everyone's preaching, and... borrowing money to find a job.

Some people even asked for her phone number and mailing address, trying to persuade her to "repent and turn back from her wrong path", as if she had done something unforgivable, which made Yu Xiangan laugh and cry.

Some people are against it, while others are in favor of it.

Ye Qijiajia is the main supporter. She is now making a fortune from her clothing franchise.

She had originally planned to quit her job once the house was built, so she could do something big then, but now she has already quit.

Ye Qijiajia started out by selling clothes at a stall. Later, she made more and more money, and her purchase volume became larger and larger. It was not convenient to set up a stall, so she rented a shop to sell the clothes. Later, people came to her to ship the goods, which was secondary wholesale and also secondary agency.

Although the profit is slightly less than retail, the shipment volume is large.

I made a lot of money, and making money is addictive.

Ye Qijiajia is already thinking of ways to buy a piece of land near the train station to build a warehouse. If it is built, he won’t have to go through the trouble of moving things around, and it will be more convenient to turn around, and he will be able to make more money.

She had originally planned to resign after the house was built, but she resigned during the construction process because she had no choice but to do it as she was too busy.

Although her job as a salesperson was not busy, she could not stay away for a long time. Thinking about the time she would waste and the small salary she would earn every month, Ye Qijia made up her mind and transferred the job, focusing on the house and clothing matters.

Yu Xianghai knew how profitable business was, so he naturally supported her. Even if they didn't make a penny in the future, this would be enough for their family to spend for the rest of their lives.

Among Yu Xiangan’s friends, there were also those who opposed it, such as Yan Yuzhen.

She believes that stability is the most important thing. Doing business is not that simple. You may make money today and lose it tomorrow. What will you do with your life after the loss?

She didn't think about Yu Xiangan returning to his original position, but she felt that Yu Xiangan should think of a way out for herself.

If this path doesn't work, there are other ways to go.

And no matter what, Lin Chuanbai's salary will not be low, so this family can survive no matter what.

Gao Yimei is the one who agrees with her friends. She is not a rigid person.

Did a self-employed person steal your rice and salt?

Isn’t it because of the emergence of self-employed individuals that life is so convenient nowadays?

If she can make money, she doesn't care what others say.

But what could she do? Sell clothes, too?

Gao Yimei shook her head. If she wanted to have a piece of the pie, she would be snatching food from her sister-in-law on her natal side. This could not be done that way, so she wrote a letter stating her family's current situation and what kind of job she could do. Her requirements were not high, as long as she could earn some money to supplement the family income, she could not afford much else.

Zhang Dashi confirmed this and was silent for a while: "Then wait for her reply."

If she was really determined, he wouldn't care about what others said.

After receiving Gao Yimei's letter, Yu Xiangan considered it.

Seeing her mother sitting there thinking after opening the letter, Lin Yining shifted his gaze from the TV program in front of him to her mother and came closer, "Mom, who is this letter from?"

Yu Xiangan: "It was written by your Aunt Gao."

"Aunt Gao." Lin Yining took some time to think about it and remembered, "Is it the Aunt Gao who works in the fabric factory?" The twins went back to Baishi County seldom, and they did not have a deep impression of Yu Xiangan's friends there.

Yu Xiangan: "Yes, it's her."

Lin Yining: "What did Aunt Gao write in the letter?"

Yu Xiangan: "Her factory is not doing well now, and she asked me if there is any way to make some money to supplement the family income. Her youngest daughter got sick some time ago, and she spent a lot of money. It seems that the illness has been cured, but the family has almost spent all their money."

The working couple raised three children, which was not a large number of children, but Gao Yimei paid great attention to her children's academic performance. She was generous in buying learning materials and was not too frugal with food and daily necessities at home. In addition, there were elderly people in the family who needed to be taken care of, so after the accident, she probably felt a little tight on money and began to think about ways to make extra money.

The first person Lin Yining thought of was her aunt, "Can't I sell clothes with my aunt?"

Yu Xiangan did not answer, but asked: "Think about it carefully, is it appropriate?"

Lin Yining blinked his eyes and thought carefully, but couldn't figure it out: "Is there something wrong?"

Yu Xiangan: "You were the one who originally earned this money. Normally, you could earn 100 yuan, but now someone wants to earn this money with you, so you might only earn 50, 60, or 80 yuan, which is less than before. If it were you, would you be happy?"

Lin Yining understood why she was unhappy. If she put herself in his shoes, she would definitely be sulky for a while if her pocket money was reduced for some reason.

This can't be done this way.

She rolled her eyes and said, "Then besides clothes, introduce other businesses to Aunt Gao."

Yu Xiangan: "Then what business do you think is good to introduce to her?"

Lin Yining: "Besides clothes, there are many other things, such as..."

After counting around, Lin Yining discovered that most of his mother's business was food, and the other things, such as hotels and houses, were not suitable for Aunt Gao's situation.

Yu Xiangan: "It's okay to sell food, but with her personality, she wouldn't want to do that." That way it would be difficult for the two of us to be equal.

This is different from Ye Qijiajia’s situation.

Ye Qijiajia is her sister-in-law, and the money she earns belongs to the whole family. She accepted Yu Xiangan's help without much other thoughts. Friends, you have to know your limits in this regard.

Yu Xiangan: "I want her to come and see for herself. It's not far away. If she sees it with her own eyes, she will probably have an idea in her mind."

Yu Qingshan also thought it would be better to let Gao Yimei come and see for herself. Friends, most of the time, are about equal interaction. If the gap is too big, or the help received is too great, it will be difficult to keep the original intention.

After receiving Yu Xiangan's letter, Gao Yimei came alone. Zhang Dashi was a little worried about her coming alone, but Gao Yimei wanted to save the train ticket fare for one person.

She is already such a grown-up and the distance is not far, so what could possibly happen to her?

Just call him as soon as you arrive and let him know you're at ease.

Yu Xiangan and Gao Yimei have always kept in touch and have a good relationship. Yu Xiangan knows her schedule and picks her up at the station.

After leaving the station, Gao Yimei saw Yu Xiangan and smiled, "I'll call back and report that I'm safe."

The phone call was not cheap, so I hung up after saying five words, "I'm here, nothing's wrong."

Very simple.

Yu Xiangan took her luggage and said, "Come this way, follow me."

Gao Yimei followed her and asked, "Where are you going?"

Yu Xiangan: "My car is parked outside."

Gao Yimei: "...Car? You kept it a secret for sure. You didn't tell me earlier."

Yu Xiangan shrugged: "I can't help it. I don't want to hear too much nagging. My dad kept it a secret at the beginning and acted first and asked for permission later."

Since she even kept it a secret from her father, Gao Yimei had nothing to say except giving him a thumbs up.

"Your father must have had a headache when he found out, right?"

Yu Xiangan laughed, "It's okay."

Gao Yimei: "I don't believe you." Gao Yimei put herself in this situation. If her three children did the same thing to her, acting first and asking for permission later, she would have a terrible headache. She didn't know if her heart was strong enough to let her listen to the children's explanation.

Yu Xiangan felt that this was also a kind of prejudice, and pointed at the small car he drove over, "Do you think this is troublesome? Think about it, if I follow the procedures, how many years will it take me to drive this car? Even if I can drive it, the car is not mine, I just use it."

"Of course, when it comes to that, what she cares about may not be the car, but she knows what kind of person she is. Some days she looks glamorous, but she is in too much pain."

Yu Xiangan is also self-aware.

Gao Yimei didn't expect it to have four wheels. She thought it was a tricycle, but... it turned out to be a car!

She makes crazy amounts of money!

"Are you not deliberately showing off? I have never experienced that kind of life, how can I know if it is suitable for you."

Yu Xiangan: "You can think of something you can't stand, put yourself in that situation, and let you persist for decades. Can you do it?"

Gao Yimei shook her head and said, "I can't." Not to mention the distant future, let's just say that if she followed Zhang Dashi back to the countryside, staying there for a few days would be the limit, and going to the fields to help would be avoided whenever possible.

Asking her to work in the fields day after day for decades, enduring leeches, scorching sun and rice stalks... she can't do it.

I feel like I understand it a little bit.

After opening the car door, putting the things in, and getting in, Gao Yimei's attention was diverted to the car: "Is this car really yours?"

Yu Xiangan: "Yes, it's under my name."

Gao Yimei clicked her tongue and said, "I don't know what else to say except envy." If she were given a choice, she would choose to do business!

However, she was very clear about her own abilities and knew that she didn't have this ability.

Yu Xiangan first took her to Wuwei Restaurant. They weren't there yet, but looking at the flow of people in the restaurant, Gao Yimei felt that she was not surprised at all. "I knew you were good at cooking before, and I thought you might get a job if you applied for a job at a state-owned restaurant. Now, is my words coming true?"

Yu Xiangan: "Hahaha, thank you for your affirmation, hahaha."

Yu Xiangan: Happy.

I found an empty seat and sat down: "Go order your food first, sit for a while after you finish eating, and I'll take you to the market."

Yu Xiangan: "What do you want to eat? I'm the host, don't be polite to me, just order whatever you want."

Gao Yimei: "I won't be polite with you." From Yu Xiangan's car, one could tell how wealthy she was now. She ordered a plate of fried chicken, a barbecued pork and beef platter, and a bowl of red date chicken soup.

Yu Xiangan ordered a bowl of chicken and rice and a glass of juice.

These things are all ready-made and come up very quickly.

Gao Yimei looked around. She couldn't see such a scene in the county town. The first thing was the language. In Baishi County, everyone lived there and spoke the same language. But here, some people spoke broken Mandarin, and some spoke a language she couldn't understand a word of. It was said that they were from Fujian. But what was the same was the satisfaction on everyone's face when they ate the food.

Gao Yimei: "If you come here during your break at work, you don't have to wait for a long time and can be served quickly. It's faster and you shouldn't be late for work after eating."

Yu Xiangan: "Yes, it won't delay..."

They talked while eating, and ate very slowly, so that Gao Yimei, who was on the train, could have a rest. After they finished their meal, it was time for dinner.

More and more people come here, and more and more people start to share tables. People who don’t know each other sit at the same table and enjoy their food together.

Gao Yimei admired the scenery for a while and then set off for the market.

Yu Xiangan took her to a street near the wholesale market.

Although it is called a street, it is actually quite mixed. There are shops selling clothes, electronic products, tape recorders, hairpins, and small jewelry... There are so many kinds of things, all displayed there in a disorderly manner. Customers need to have a keen eye to identify and pick out the good-looking ones.

Gao Yimei was dazzled by the selection. Moreover, the price was so cheap. She had seen similar pants like this one, which cost thirty yuan, but here she could get them for only sixteen yuan!

This electronic watch costs twelve dollars, but here there are ones for five or six dollars!

She had seen this hairpin before. It was selling for fifty cents, but here she could take it away for only fifteen cents. As for the one next to it that was selling for twenty cents, it was even cheaper here, as she could get five for only one cent!

Gao Yimei felt that this little thing was just right for her current situation of being short of money. She didn't have much capital, so it was okay to come to Yu Xiangan and ask her for help, but if she also borrowed capital from her, that would be a bit of a problem.

It's better to separate.

Gao Yimei had some initial ideas in mind, but did not act rashly.

Instead, it completely went around the market.

There were a lot of people here, and she had some experience watching how others did wholesale business, pushing a simple cart with a big cloth bag. When a store owner took out a new model of jeans, the crowd rushed in, and the first one to act got the last.

The two of them were not far away and were squeezed out. They also heard people shouting, "Don't step on it, don't step on it, my shoes, my shoes are gone!"

There were even some people trying to take advantage of the situation. A sharp soprano voice shouted, "Who has such a cheap hand that reached into my pocket and took away my change? You're taking advantage of me like this. You're giving birth to a son without an asshole! I xxxx"

A series of elegant national curses.

Being pushed to the side, Gao Yimei saw that Yu Xiangan's clothes had many more wrinkles, and burst out laughing, "Hahaha, do you rarely come here?"

Yu Xiangan smiled bitterly and pulled at the creases on his body, "Yeah, I rarely come here to squeeze in."

Gao Yimei: "The things here are very affordable, why not come and have a look?"

Yu Xiangan: "My dad likes coming here, and so does my aunt."

Because we buy a lot, even if it’s not wholesale, the price can be calculated as wholesale, and wholesale is cheaper.

Gao Yimei: "When I make money, I will also come here to buy." She can prepare all the clothes her children will wear in the future at once, which will definitely be cheaper and she can save a lot of money.

Yu Xiangan: "Of course, now that the transfer is over, have you thought about it?"

Gao Yimei nodded: "I've thought about it."

The highest profit is still from selling home appliances, but the cost is too high, so selling hairpins and hair ties is more suitable for her.

Now that you have made a decision, just do it!

Yu Xiangan: "If you encounter any difficulties, don't be polite to me. You helped me introduce a lot of business in the factory before, and now it's finally my turn to help you."

At that time, Gao Yimei secretly promoted the sauce she made among the young ladies in the fabric factory, which helped her earn a lot of pocket money.

Talking about the past, Gao Yimei smiled brightly: "It was them who were selling the food in the beginning, and it is still the same group of people now, but before they were unmarried young girls, and now they are mothers." In the past, I bought food for myself and my family, but now what I sell to them is for their daughters.

She also wanted to leave a portion of her favorite for her little daughter.

When the two left, Gao Yimei was carrying a bag of hairpins and headdresses. These were light, easy to carry, and inexpensive, and were indeed suitable for Gao Yimei's current situation.

It was almost dark at this time. If Gao Yimei wanted to go back after dark, Yu Xiangan would not let her and asked her to rest for a night before going back.

She must be tired today, and it’s not so safe after dark.

Gao Yimei was indeed tired, so she did not refuse. She was also a little curious about the current situation of Yu Xiangan's family.

When I saw Yu Xiangan's house, I could only open my mouth in admiration. It was just like the houses in the movies!

Look at this color TV!

Look at this refrigerator!

And this soft sofa!

But now, only Yu Xiangan and Yu Qingshan live here.

Gao Yimei: "Where are the children?"

Yu Xiangan: "They didn't come to Yangcheng. They don't come every week."

Gao Yimei: "Is that so? You are willing to do that."

Yu Xiangan: "At first I was not used to it, but I had to bear with it. Children grow up and will leave their parents sooner or later."

Perhaps this is the reason why she was able to succeed. Gao Yimei admits she could not do it.

It was a rare occasion for an old friend to come, so Yu Qingshan and Gao Yimei talked a lot.

He was away for a long time and the news lagged behind.

When Zhang Dashi came to pick her up, he felt relieved when he saw her. Then he asked, "What did you buy?"

Gao Yimei: "I'll tell you when I get back."

After returning home, Zhang Dashi looked at these beautiful videos and began to doubt himself: "Can I sell so many of them? They are not enough to eat or drink."

Gao Yimei rolled his eyes and said, "Just wait and see if I can sell it."

It’s not about whether it can be sold or not, but that it is very popular.

She brought back many styles with exquisite designs, which were not available for sale in the county. Once the news spread, young girls who loved beauty, especially those who were working but not married, were willing to spend money to dress themselves up.

I made a lot of money by using these inconspicuous little gadgets.

If you buy a cheap one, you'll make 5 cents or 10 cents. If you buy ten, you'll make 50 cents or 10 yuan. If you buy a hundred, you'll make 50 yuan or 10 yuan.

Those few hundred yuan are just a few dozen yuan, which is equivalent to a person's salary.

If you add other more expensive things, you can earn more. After deducting the travel expenses, you can earn two people's wages out of thin air in a month!

Zhang Dashi: “…”

He couldn't understand this world. Just by going to the Special Administrative Region once a month, he could earn enough for both of them? !
