Rebirth in the Eighties: Reclaiming Space and Marrying a Rough Guy

In her previous life, Ye Jin was pure and kind, but she was schemed against by her stepmother and stepsister, which led to her losing her eyesight and being forced to marry the neighborhood rogue.<...

Chapter 39 Huge Business Opportunities

When the two came out of the tailor shop, Ye Xiaoli looked at Ye Jin more eagerly.

"Jinjin, I've only bought myself a few new clothes since I was a child."

The last time Ye Xiaoli bought new clothes was three years ago. The clothes she wore were all leftovers from her relatives.

“Life is only a few decades long. When you make money, don’t treat yourself badly.”

Ye Jin patted her back to comfort her, and Ye Xiaoli immediately took her arm and leaned her face on her shoulder.

"I'll listen to you from now on. Shall we go back home or walk around town?"

Ye Jin doesn't like going out, so Ye Xiaoli volunteered to be her guide.

"Let's walk around town. I haven't really walked around here yet."

Before getting married in her previous life, Ye Jin had always stayed in Yejia Village. After getting married, she worked from dawn to dusk to do business. She had never lived a day for herself, and ended up with such a miserable end.

Living this life over again, Ye Jin wants to live for herself!

The two walked hand in hand in the town. In 1985, the economy was gradually liberalized. In addition to the black market, shops gradually appeared in the town and the individual economy began to recover.

The two of them unknowingly walked into an alley. Behind the alley was a barren mountain, and the front was blocked by an abandoned factory. There were a few scattered shops here and there, and business was very depressed.

Ye Jin stood here but could not move. He calculated the time. Within three months, the abandoned factory in front of this place would be razed to the ground and two-story houses would be built. The view would be open and the economy here would gradually recover.

Especially half a year later, the barren hills behind were leveled and a flat highway was built. This residential area will also be leveled in the end, but new houses and a considerable amount of financial compensation will be allocated to the residents.

The old houses here are very dilapidated and sparsely populated, so many of them have signs outside saying they are for rent or for sale.

Ye Jin stopped at the old houses near the east side, which were neatly lined with for-sale signs.

She started asking from the outside and found out that there were basically no young people living in the house. Almost everyone who came to receive them was an elderly person.

The reasons for selling the house are mostly because life here is inconvenient, or the spouse at home is seriously ill, or there are plans to leave Qingshan Town to live with their children.

Old and dilapidated houses are naturally cheaper. Basically, the price depends on the area, and you can buy one for three to five hundred yuan.

"Jinjin, the houses here are so old. If you want to buy a house, we can go to the central area of the town and have a look."

"Houses in the central area are too expensive. Houses of the same size are at least three times more expensive there."

"But the houses here are inconvenient to live in and have no investment value. There's no benefit in buying here no matter how you look at it."

Although Ye Xiaoli trusted Ye Jin, she was still very worried.

"Don't worry, I have a plan."

Ye Jin asked about several houses, negotiated the price, and set a time to buy the house, then left with Ye Xiaoli.

Along the way, Ye Xiaoli kept asking, "Jinjin, I see you've asked around a lot of houses. Are you planning to buy them all?"

"We don't have that much money yet, so we need to speed up our business."

Looking at each store that would become a continuous source of wealth in the future, Ye Jin could no longer sit still.

Since her rebirth, she has sold a lot of things and earned a lot of money, but it is still not enough, far from enough!

"Xiao Li, you go back first. I suddenly remembered that I forgot to buy something."

Ye Jin stopped under the archway of Qingshan Town, and Ye Xiaoli naturally didn't want to leave first.

"We came out together, so we must go back together."

"You still have things to do this afternoon. Your parents will complain if you come back late. I'm fine. I'm just going to buy something. The place is a bit far, so I won't keep you away."

Ye Jin turned around and left without waiting for Ye Xiaoli's answer. Ye Xiaoli wanted to chase him, but there were too many people in the town and Ye Jin disappeared in the blink of an eye.

She could only stamp her feet and leave alone.

Ye Jin watched her walk away before walking into a secluded alley.

When she came out again, she was pushing a cart full of Gastrodia elata.

She pushed the Gastrodia elata to the town's pharmacy, where the owner personally received her.

The Gastrodia elata grown in the space are large in size and good in quality, and each one has reached the quality of a fine product.

The owner of the drugstore couldn't take his eyes off the Gastrodia elata when he saw them, and quickly welcomed Ye Jin to the backyard.

"How are you going to sell these Gastrodia elata?"

"One price, no matter the size, 10 yuan each."

Ye Jin did not hesitate at all. The prices of cultivated Gastrodia elata and wild Gastrodia elata were very different. The price difference between a few dozen grams of Gastrodia elata and more than 100 grams of Gastrodia elata was also very large.

Each of Ye Jin’s Gastrodia elata weighs more than 150 grams, and is the best of the best in terms of both size and quality.

In other words, it is not valuable in Qingshan Town. If it is taken to the provincial capital to be sold, the starting price is at least 15 yuan per piece.

“How many are there?”

"There are 324 of them in total, which together cost 3,240 yuan. If you can afford it now, Boss Li, I'll sell all of them to you. If you think they're too expensive, I'll take them to the provincial capital and sell them. This truckload of gastrodia elata will fetch at least 5,000 yuan."

Ye Jin had found out the news before coming. Boss Li's eyes flashed. 3,240 yuan is not a small amount of money. Once he gets these Gastrodia elata, his pharmacy will go bankrupt.

But if it is sold, the price will be no less than 5,000 yuan if the price is negotiated well.

Boss Li's expression was unpredictable, but Ye Jin didn't intend to continue wasting time with him.

"If Boss Li still has concerns, then I'll take it to the provincial capital and sell it myself."

Ye Jin was about to leave, but Boss Li quickly stood up and blocked her way.

"No, let's talk about it."

"That's my bottom line. If Boss Li doesn't come clean, there's nothing more to discuss."

Ye Jin reached out to open the door, and Boss Li gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Yes! You've taken all of me these days!"

Ye Jin slowly turned her head, her eyes were calm and her expression did not reveal her inner thoughts.

"Then please give me the money, Boss Li."

Since ancient times, transactions have been conducted on the basis of exchanging money for goods.

"What's your name, girl?"

"Just call me Miss Ye."

"Miss Ye, wait a moment. I'll go inside to get the money."

People in the 1980s had no concept of saving money, and all their cash was kept at home.

Ten minutes later, Boss Li came out with a cloth bag.

"Here are the 3240 yuan. Please count them, Miss Ye."

Ye Jin opened the cloth bag and found a lot of change besides the 10 yuan big unity note.

It seems that Boss Li has used up all his working capital on buying this truckload of Gastrodia elata.

"3240 yuan, not a penny less. Boss Li is really a straightforward man. I'll take the money, and the Tianma is yours."

Ye Jin put the money away and turned to leave, but Boss Li suddenly closed the door and said, "Ms. Ye, please stay!"
