Yang Yajing felt her life was utterly worthless—single at 36; meager salary absolutely insufficient to cover her mother's medical expenses.
Her best friend not only stole the man she...
Yang Yajing wanted Yang Guohua to buy her a car, partly because of the car accident that happened in the spring of 1999 in her previous life.
At that time, Yang Guohua was riding his tricycle to deliver goods in the middle of the night when he was caught driving under the influence of alcohol and fleeing the scene.
She didn't know what kind of car the other vehicle was, but she had observed the scene and it certainly wasn't a large vehicle.
What troubled Yang Yajing most was the hit-and-run by the perpetrator. If Yang Guohua had been taken to the hospital in time, he would have at most broken two ribs and wouldn't have died.
However, in the dead of night, when few people were around, Yang Guohua, who had collapsed, was not discovered until four or five in the morning. During those three hours of delay, because his ribs had pierced his lungs, causing blood to pool in his lungs, he died from prolonged shock and lack of oxygen.
If the car accident couldn't be avoided, Yang Guohua would have been much safer if he had been driving a minivan. Perhaps the one who would have been unlucky was the drunk driver who fled the scene.
Moreover, Yang Yajing was determined not to let Yang Guohua go out that day!
Anyway, there are still more than six months left, so Yang Yajing has plenty of time to negotiate with Yang Guohua and get him to buy a car sooner or later.
Sure enough, when Yang Yajing mentioned wanting to buy a minivan, Yang Guohua disagreed.
He only said one thing: Yang Yajing wasted money!
Yang Guohua was always very generous to Yang Yajing, but he was very stingy with himself and reluctant to spend money. Despite the family earning so much money, he would wear the same coat for a long time, and he would use his old undershirts as pajamas until they had many holes before he would throw them away.
He readily gave Yang Yajing tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan to invest in stocks without hesitation, but when asked to buy him a car, he refused no matter what.
A Jinbei van costs tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan! I can't even afford clothes, how could I possibly buy myself a car? No way, absolutely not!
Yang Yajing felt that a specific opportunity was needed to persuade Yang Guohua to buy a car.
Just in October, Yu Ning's brand received a large order.
Unlike the usual few hundred sets, this order includes three styles, each with more than a thousand pieces.
Although the factory has trucks and deliveries every month, this time the raw material inventory is much shorter. The delivery manufacturers are also unable to spare any trucks, so if they rely on tricycles to haul the materials back and forth, it will take many trips.
Moreover, it's been raining a lot lately, and fabrics and cotton threads are things that can't get wet!
Yu Ning was worried. This was the first time she had received such a large order. What if she couldn't deliver the goods? Wouldn't that ruin her own brand?
Yang Yajing listened to Yu Ning's complaints, but a look of joy appeared on her face.
"Yang Yajing! What's with that expression? I'm so anxious, and you're just laughing to yourself!" Yu Ning angrily pointed at the corner of Yang Yajing's mouth.
"This fire was lit just in time! It was lit at the perfect moment!" Yang Yajing continued to laugh.
"Yang Yajing! Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
"Yu Ning, what happened to your image? It's completely ruined!" Yang Yajing pointed at Yu Ning, gesturing as she spoke.
"You should help me think of a solution!" Yu Ning plopped down and rubbed Yang Yajing's little face haphazardly.
Yang Yajing just smiled and let her massage and vent her frustrations until she was done playing.
"Alright! There is a solution, but I need you to give me some encouragement!"
"Knock! Knock as much as you want! As long as you can complete the order, I'll knock as hard as I can!"
“Okay, let’s do it like this…” Yang Yajing explained the whole story to Yu Ning in detail.
"That's it? No problem! I'm quite good at acting!" Yu Ning was very confident in her acting skills.
That evening, Yu Ning pretended to be in a hurry and ran to Yang Yajing's house to knock on the door.
"Aunt Zhang, Uncle Yang, please help Yu Ning! Your dear niece is desperate!" As soon as she entered the door, Yu Ning grabbed Zhang Aijia and started talking nonsense.
Over the years, whenever Yu Ning acts coquettishly, she refers to herself as the "dear niece" of the Yang family elders, and she used it again today.
"Oh dear, what's wrong with my beautiful niece again?" Zhang Aijia hadn't received any orders yet and had no idea.
"Aunt Zhang, I've landed a huge order, I'm about to become famous!" Yu Ning gestured a large circle.
"A big order? A big order is a good thing! How come you're at your wit's end?" Sylvia Chang smiled and poured Yu Ning a glass of iced lemon oolong tea.
"A big order is a good thing! But Yang Yajing said it can't be done! I'm going to be ruined!" Yu Ning said with a worried look on her face.
"Ya Jing said she can't do it? Why can't she do it?" Sylvia Chang sat down opposite her.
"We don't have enough raw materials in the warehouse, we can't get a truck to deliver, it's raining every day, and our tricycles can't carry the goods... We don't even have the money to buy a truck... Waaah..."
"Yu Ning wants to buy a car?"
“It’s not that I want to buy a car, it’s that I need to buy a car for the factory, a car to haul goods! I only have half the money, and Yang Yajing said that my uncle won’t let me buy it and won’t lend me any money…” Yu Ning became more and more aggrieved as she spoke.
"Guohua! Come here for a second?" Hearing this, Sylvia Chang called out to Yang Guohua, who was watching TV in the room.
Yang Guohua had mentioned that Yang Yajing wanted to buy a car, but he didn't say that it was because the factory needed it.
"What's wrong, Aijia?" Yang Guohua came out.
"Ya Jing wanted to buy a car for the factory, but you didn't agree?" Zhang Aijia asked.
"Buy a car for the factory?" Yang Guohua asked in confusion. "She only said she wanted to buy a car, but didn't mention the factory. She said it was for purchasing goods or something, and that I should sell my tricycle."
"Wait a minute, let me ask Ya Jing?" Zhang Aijia called Yang Ya Jing, who was pretending to study, out again.
"Your dad said you wanted to buy a car, but you didn't mention to him that it was a delivery truck for the factory?"
“Mom…” Yang Yajing pouted, “A cargo van, if not for transporting goods, are you going to drive it all over China for a tour?”
