Second Aunt, what else is there?" Ye Li asked.

The second aunt looked around and saw that no one was around, so she whispered to Ye Li: "Li Li, you are an employee of the weaving factory, I want to ask you, can you get some cloth?"

"Cloth? What cloth?"

The second aunt said, "The villagers are in need of cloth! They are in great need! They asked me to find some cloth for them!"

"Is there no cloth in this supply and marketing cooperative?" Ye Li remembered that a few years ago, she went back to the countryside with Zhuang Shihong and saw that everyone in the village was buying cloth to make clothes in the supply and marketing cooperative.

"What can we do with that little bit of cloth? Summer is coming, and it's time to make summer clothes! The supply of cloth in the supply and marketing cooperative is limited, and we can't buy cloth even with cloth coupons. I was thinking that since you are from a weaving factory, could you make some cloth for us?"

"Then let me think about it."

Second Aunt’s words really reminded Ye Li.

This cloth is very difficult to get nowadays, so it would be great if I could make some money from it.

...

...

"Don't be in a hurry, think about it first. If you can get the cloth, I will sell it to you and we will split the profits! You take seven and I take three." said the second aunt.

Ye Li was a little hesitant.

Although she works at a weaving factory, she can't just take the cloth back whenever she wants.

The amount of cloth in the factory is limited. If this were to be taken out, wouldn't it be stealing?

Although she is short of money, she absolutely cannot do anything sneaky.

Of course, the second aunt knew that it was not easy to make cloth, but when she saw Ye Li hesitating, she thought that Ye Li was unwilling to do it because he was dissatisfied with the low income.

So she immediately changed her words and said, "How about this, you take 80% and I take 20%, is that okay?"

"The money is not the problem. The most important thing right now is how to get the cloth out. Second Aunt, please give me some time. I will contact you if I get it out." Ye Li said.

"Okay, okay, it's settled then."

The two of them watched the second aunt leave the alley before going home.

Jiang Xun heard a lot of what Ye Li and the second aunt said just now.

When he heard that Ye Li wanted to get some cloth back, he reminded Ye Li: "You don't have to make money, but you can't end up in jail! You can't do anything illegal!"

"I know." Ye Li nodded, "Don't worry, I still have this awareness."

When I returned to the compound, there were not many people around at this time. Everyone was having dinner in their rooms.

Ye Li took out the key from his pocket and was about to open the door when he heard a voice behind him.

"Brother Jiang! I heard you got married?"

The voice sounded familiar. Ye Li stopped what he was doing and turned to look at the person who was speaking.

The person speaking was Huang Xiuxiu.

The No. 9 Courtyard is divided into the front yard and the back yard. They live in the front yard. In the back yard separated by a wall, there are four families living there, one of whom is Huang Xiuxiu.

Huang Xiuxiu is 28 years old this year, two years older than Jiang Xun, and is a young widow.

Her husband died five years ago, leaving her with two young children.

The older child is ten years old now, which is just the age when people dislike dogs. The younger one, at six years old, is slightly better than the older one.

Both children are boys. They are the little devils in this slum, making trouble in one house and then in another.

Some time ago, Huang Xiuxiu took her two sons back to her mother's home in the countryside, and has just returned now.

When Jiang Xun saw Huang Xiuxiu, his expression was indifferent and his words were neither hot nor cold: "Sister-in-law Li is back!"

"I'm back, I'm back." Huang Xiuxiu responded, her eyes fell on Ye Li who was standing at the door, and she looked him up and down, "This... this is my sister-in-law, right?"

"Hello, Sister Li." Ye Li forced a faint smile and nodded to her.

"Come here, my sister-in-law brought some things back from her hometown this time, and I sent them to you specially!" Huang Xiuxiu said, handing a small woven bag in her hand to Jiang Xun, "This is our dried sweet potato, produced in our hometown. Use this and cornmeal to cook rice, it tastes delicious! Take it back and try it."

"Thank you, sister-in-law. No thanks." Jiang Xun said, "You still have to raise a child. You may need this thing."

"Take it, just take it. This is a gift from my sister-in-law." Huang Xiuxiu said as she stuffed the woven bag into Jiang Xun's body.

With her sharp eyes, she had already noticed the basket that Ye Li was carrying.

The basket is full of white eggs with pointed tips. Wow, it’s a full basket, there must be dozens of them, right?

Originally, she brought this thing back from her hometown for the children to eat, but after seeing what Ye Li was carrying on his arm, she changed her mind and insisted on giving it to Jiang Xun.

In the past, she relied on sending small gifts to Jiang Xun in exchange for big gifts.

For example, he gave two corn flour cakes to Jiang Xun and exchanged them for two large hemp twists for the children to eat.

She knew that Jiang Xun had money!

Others can't see through Huang Xiuxiu, but Ye Li can see clearly! This person is a romantic and pretty widow, who looks righteous on the surface, but does a lot of shady things behind the scenes.

In their previous life, these two had dealt with each other a lot.

Huang Xiuxiu was attracted by Jiang Xun's money and his face. She kept hanging around Jiang Xun all day long, wishing to empty all the money in Jiang Xun's pocket.

"Sister Li." Ye Li opened the door, put her eggs back into the house, and then returned to Jiang Xun. "We appreciate your kindness, but we really don't need this. You should take it back and feed it to the children."

Huang Xiuxiu calculated clearly that if she could exchange a bag of dried sweet potatoes for a dozen eggs, she would be making a profit.

"No, no, no, this is for you to eat! Jiang Xun takes good care of us mother and son on weekdays, and I'm here to thank Jiang Xun." Huang Xiuxiu said.

Jiang Xun refused to accept it.

Huang Xiuxiu insisted: "You also know that my sister-in-law has a hard life. It's so hard for her to take care of two boys alone! People say that boys eat their parents to death, but what about my two boys? Thanks to brother Jiang Xun for his kindness and helping me from time to time! For example, steamed buns... eggs... Speaking of eggs, you have quite a lot of eggs."

Ye Li curled the corners of his mouth but said nothing.

Huang Xiuxiu continued her performance: "Or, you are someone who just came back from the army! The PLA is a good team, and the people trained are all talented! Brother Jiang Xun is an excellent talent, and his moral character is noble! I gave this to thank him! Don't think that I seem to have suffered a loss now, but Brother Jiang has never let me suffer a loss! Isn't it, Brother Jiang!"

Huang Xiuxiu's two sons were peeing and playing in the mud in the backyard when they heard their mother mention the word "eggs".

The two naughty kids rushed over with their hands full of urine mud: "Eggs? Mom, Uncle Jiang has lots of eggs? I want to eat eggs! I want to eat eggs!"
