Rebirth 1978: My Wife is a Female Educated Youth

Ye Beiping, due to an accidental drunken night, returns to 1978, the time when educated youths were returning to the city. He finds himself back in an unexpected situation with the female lead, Su ...

Chapter 27 Collecting Junk

After comforting his grandparents, Ye Beiping said goodbye and headed to the next village.

Wu Di's words came true; the remaining stock was sold out in one village.

There were only five ice creams left, which gave Hou Baolin some trouble.

"Beiping, we still have five ice creams left. What should we do if we can't sell them?"

In this day and age, very few people would spend a few cents to buy an ice pop.

Ye Beiping was also helpless: "Let's go back, we'll eat the five ice creams ourselves."

"All right."

Sitting on the donkey cart, Hou Baolin suddenly took out money and started counting it.

Wu Di glanced at it and asked, "How much did you earn today?"

"The initial investment was three yuan and thirty cents, and we made three yuan and thirty cents." Hou Baolin shook the small bills in his hand and smiled at Ye Beiping, "Beiping, we made three yuan and thirty cents today, which means we each made one yuan and ten cents, right?"

"One dollar and one cent a day? My God." Wu Di was also stunned.

Even factory workers can't earn a dollar or a dime a day.

Ye Beiping remained calm, having weathered countless storms and seen countless fortunes.

Although one dollar and one cent were very valuable in the 1970s, this money was earned with risks.

"You two, stop joking around. You can only make a little money in September. When it gets cold in October, nobody will eat popsicles anymore. Besides, not everyone can afford to eat these every day. Tomorrow, we'll probably have to go to other villages to sell them."

"ah?"

Hou Baolin and Wu Di immediately showed expressions of disappointment.

Looking at the money in his hand, Hou Baolin said, "What? We've only earned a month's worth of money. Can we sell more? We can order more stock tomorrow."

"It's possible, but can you actually sell them?" Ye Beiping asked with some doubt.

"Yes, I'll definitely sell it."

Hou Baolin was very confident, but suddenly realized that Ye Beiping's words were amiss, and asked in confusion, "Beiping, what do you mean 'we'? Aren't you going tomorrow?"

"I'm not going." Ye Beiping shook his head, glanced at the money in Hou Baolin's hand, and said, "Remember all of this. We'll split the profits together later. This is just small change; we're going to make big money, understand?"

"Big money?" Hou Baolin and Wu Di exchanged a glance and scratched their heads.

"Make big money?"

Ye Beiping sneered: "You'll find out when the time comes."

Seeing that they couldn't get an answer, Hou Baolin and Wu Di stopped asking, mainly thinking about making money in the present.

The three of them went back to their respective homes and found their respective mothers.

When Ye Beiping arrived home, he saw Tao Qiuyan in the kitchen. He went over and told her about his trip to his maternal grandparents' house.

"Yes, we should go. Send some wild boar meat over tomorrow. Your grandparents and uncle haven't had any oily food in a long time, and we can't possibly finish all of this."

"good."

Ye Beiping agreed and was about to turn around when Tao Qiuyan suddenly asked, "Beiping, you delivered so many popsicles today, did you still make any money?"

Seeing Ye Beiping give away five or six popsicles, Tao Qiuyan felt extremely distressed.

"Not bad, I made three yuan and thirty cents. I split it with Fatty, Monkey and I, and each of us got one yuan."

"What? Three yuan and thirty cents?" Tao Qiuyan didn't even notice the ladle falling from her hand, staring blankly at Ye Beiping: "So much?"

"Is it a lot?"

Ye Beiping remained calm and said with a pursed lip, "Mom, don't worry, this is just the beginning. I will definitely make a lot of money in the future."

Upon hearing this, Tao Qiuyan frowned and advised, "Beiping, just let it go with the popsicle selling business. Don't cause any trouble. I..." She was feeling uneasy.

Ye Beiping interrupted Tao Qiuyan directly and said comfortingly, "My dear mother, don't worry. I promise to turn over a new leaf, find you a beautiful daughter-in-law, have a wonderful grandson, and earn lots and lots of money so that you and my sister can wear new clothes and gold jewelry every day, and go out like those noble ladies of ancient times, shining with gold."

He kept gesturing with his hands as he said this.

Pfft!

Upon seeing this, Tao Qiuyan burst out laughing and slapped Ye Beiping, saying irritably, "You're still as irresponsible as ever."

Suddenly remembering something, she looked at Ye Beiping seriously and said:

"Beiping, if you're free tomorrow, why don't you go to the hospital to see your grandfather?"

"I'm not going," Ye Beiping refused without hesitation.

Tao Qiuyan could only sigh, "If you won't go, then I'll go by myself."

"mom."

Ye Beiping was truly defeated by his mother: "You say you've been making a fool of yourself every year, giving gifts and spending money, only to be met with indifference in the end. Is it really necessary? They've all severed ties with our family, so what's the point of you going to do that?"

For Ye Beiping, who has been reborn from his previous life, whether it's friends or relatives, it's all about "you treat me well, I'll treat you well in return."

I'm nice to you, but you take advantage of me. I can cut off all contact with you.

Tao Qiuyan sighed and said, "But he is still your grandfather, and I am still his daughter-in-law, aren't I?"

"I really doubt if my dad is that old man's biological son," Ye Beiping muttered.

"Nonsense."

Tao Qiuyan's face hardened, and she asked, "Are you going or not? If you're not going, I will."

"Go, go, I'll go. But don't expect me to buy anything, just seeing him is good enough."

After saying this, Ye Beiping stormed out of the kitchen.

As soon as he entered the room, his eyes lit up.

It's just going to the hospital to see Ye Jianguo, so why not?

What happens after he gets there is none of his business.

During dinner, Ye Xiaoxin also asked about making money.
