Chapter 112 Snowballing Profits

"Yes, my father works in a textile factory. He managed to get a piece of defective cloth with great difficulty, and I brought it to my sister." Xu Gang said calmly.

The lady's eyes lit up. "Hey, the textile factory is a big one. Can you use up all the cloth? Can you buy me a few more?"

"Whether it can be used or not depends on how my sister plans. Why don't you ask her later? I'll go in first?"

Seeing that no one suspected anything, Xu Gang gradually calmed down with an honest smile on his face.

The aunt took a quick look and felt that the defective cloth had no visible flaws on the surface and was indeed a piece of top-quality material.

I was thinking of getting some money later and discussing with Xu Yao about not using a ticket and buying at the supply and marketing cooperative's price.

They had a large family, and the few cloth coupons issued by the unit were totally insufficient. There were only two feet of cloth coupons in the family, which was enough to make a pair of underpants.

"Okay, go in now. I won't delay your work."

Having said that, she went back to the house to get the money.

The distance from the front yard to the middle yard was not far. Xu Gang walked into the house carrying the cloth and was pulled by several aunts who wanted to pull the cloth.

After finally getting away and entering the house, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, greeted the Ji family, put down the cloth and said.

"Aunt, don't entertain me. I can come by myself. I feel like I'm at home here."

"Stay for dinner later. I'll make some cold tomatoes." Ji's mother responded, put down the kettle and left.

Ji Changyu nodded at him and walked to the side to continue playing chess with Xu Jiaan.

"I finally understand why you like to put things in the basket. Those aunties and grandmas in the yard are so annoying." Xu Gang found a stool and sat down.

"Didn't you see it the last time you came back with us?" Xu Yao laughed at him for not learning his lesson and poured him a glass of water. Xu Gang felt the water was so hot that he drank it in two or three gulps. Xu Yao then poured him another glass.

This cloth is well chosen, with a blue background and white flowers. It can be used by men, women, young and old. If a man has no clothes to wear, it can also be made into bedding.

The main thing is that the cloth only has a stained spot on the very edge. If you cut it a little, it's no different from good cloth.

"This cloth doesn't require a ticket, right? I'll give you the price you paid."

"27, I didn't ask for a ticket." Xu Gang glanced at Ji's mother and Ji Changyu beside him and shut his mouth.

Xu Yao raised her voice, "Okay, come into the house and I'll get you the money!"

When they reached the inner room, Xu Gang lowered his voice and spoke.

"According to what you said, Mom bought him a pack of Peony cigarettes, and the warehouse manager agreed without much effort. Does this cloth look good? Dad said they have a lot of this kind of cloth in the warehouse, and it looks no different from good cloth. I suspect..."

The two looked at each other knowingly.

What are you doubting?

I suspect that some leaders are deliberately enriching themselves in order to get better results!

It happens that the dyeing is damaged sometimes, but it is obviously abnormal to have so many defective cloths piled up in the warehouse. Even Xu Weidong, who is not good at speaking, can get the defective cloth, so they don't believe that others can't get it.

Xu Yao took a deep breath.

No wonder that textile factory became one of the first state-owned factories to go bankrupt.

There are worms in it. If it weren't for government subsidies, it would have collapsed long ago.

Xu Gang said in a whisper.

"Outside the market sells it for 40 cents a foot, but the factory sells it at half the price and doesn't require a ticket. This defective cloth can still be sold even at the regular price of 40 cents, and we can earn half the profit."

Three feet is one meter, a piece of cloth is forty to fifty meters, and the profit from selling a piece of cloth is twenty to thirty!

The profit is almost the same as selling chickens and ducks!

Moreover, the fabric is dead and not as conspicuous as chicken or duck, so it is easier to resell.

"You can think of it, but others can't? I'm afraid someone has already sold it privately. The profit is too big, and others can't stop.

They are getting bigger and bigger like a snowball. Aren't you afraid that the textile factories will be hollowed out and you will be the one to be liquidated in the end? ”

It wouldn't matter if nothing happened at the textile factory, but since something has happened, then stay out of it.

Knowing there is a mountain of gold ahead, you can only look and not move.

It was such a painful feeling.

The two came out with heavy expressions. Mother Ji put down her bowl and chopsticks and looked at them worriedly, "Are you having trouble at home?"

Ji Changyu glanced at them several times, "Do you need help?"

"No." Xu Gang stood up and helped serve the dishes. "I was dating an educated youth. Her mother was sick and she wanted to go back to the city to visit her family. I went to lend her money and found out that she was also sick. The brigade helped her retire due to illness."

Ji's mother and Xu Yao looked at each other and asked in unison, "If she goes back to the city, won't your relationship be ruined?"

Ji Changyu glanced at Xu Gang, went back to the room, opened a bottle of yellow beer, and poured him a large bowl.

Xu Jiaan sniffed it curiously, took the bowl of wine from Ji Changyu and wanted to drink it, but Ji Changyu glanced at him and took it back.

"In her eyes, I'm not even a match." Xu Gang took a sip of beer and said with a wry smile.

“If I hadn’t read her documents, I wouldn’t have known that her hometown was in Jiangcheng.

A man from their village told me the truth, that Yu Qiuhe was not a good person, and that she was hanging out with several men at the same time and asked us to spend money on her. ”

"If she hadn't wanted to make some money from a few men before returning to the city, I'm afraid we would have been kept in the dark by her."

Ji's mother slammed the table and said, "This woman is too much. Do you know where she lives? Let's go find her!"

"Mom, don't always think about fighting. If someone falls to the ground, it will be your fault for the money." Ji Yanyu advised.

"If we don't fight, I'll ruin her reputation." Ji's mother coughed embarrassedly.

Xu Gang was very touched that they stood up for him. He scratched his hair and said embarrassedly, "Forget it." Yu Qiuhe then tricked a piece of clothing out of him.

He didn't suffer a particularly bad loss, at least he got a kiss.

Xu Yao smiled, "I understand. It's your first love. Men are always very tolerant of their first love."

"You are my first love." Ji Changyu quickly expressed his opinion.

"What does first love mean? The first person you like?" Xu Jiaan opened his big dark and moist eyes, "Then my first love is also my mother."

Ji's mother and Ji Yanyu laughed out loud, and Xu Gang didn't feel so bad anymore.

When he just said he was dating an educated youth, Xu Yao realized something was wrong. Fortunately, the loss was not great, so there was no need to blame or complain about him.

As a grown-up, you just need to learn from your mistakes.

After dinner, Xu Yao stretched the cloth, measured Ji's mother's size with a tape measure, and asked her what style of clothes she liked.

It was not easy for Liu Mei to do housework and make hair ornaments in the county town. Xu Yao did not intend to trouble her anymore. There was a retired old tailor in the backyard who had good skills in making clothes.

Ji's mother was very surprised to hear this, and said that Ji Yanyu and Ji Changyu were two heartless people, and that the three children together were not as caring as their daughter-in-law.

It was not enough to say it at home, so I walked around the yard three more times and told everyone I met.

"You all say that I spoil my daughter-in-law, but do you think any daughter-in-law is as considerate as her? All the chickens and ducks raised by my relatives were sent over to Yanyu and Xiaobai to nourish their bodies.

Such fine cloth, make clothes and bedding for me, but why should an old woman like me wear such fine clothes? But there is no way, she insists on being filial to me..."
