For a moment, Ye Li really couldn't remember where he had seen this person.

Before she could remember, she saw Ye Chunwang looking over here from time to time.

Ye Li lowered his head and quickly left the platform with the pedestrians.

A few minutes later, Ye Li returned to the outside of the slum.

From a distance, she could hear her mother Zhuang Shihong scolding Ye Mei.

This is definitely not a good time to go in, we need to wait.

At this time, she saw two little girls coming out of the next door yard holding rubber bands.

Ye Li took out two candies from his pocket and handed them to the two little girls with a smile: "Do you know the second aunt?"

The little girl nodded obediently.

...

...

"Then can you help me call Second Aunt out? Tell her someone wants to see her!"

"good."

The little girl peeled the candy and put it into her mouth. The two of them held hands and skipped into the yard.

Ye Li didn't have to wait too long before he saw Second Aunt jogging out of the yard.

"Ye Li, why don't you go in?" the second aunt yelled.

Ye Li smiled, walked up to her and pulled her aside: "Keep your voice down, if my mother knew about this, she would be very angry with me, right?"

The second aunt agreed with her: "That's true. Your mother is not an easy person to deal with!!"

"I saw Ye Chunwang bringing a girlfriend out of the yard. Do you know about this, Second Aunt?" Ye Li asked casually.

"Ouch." The second aunt slapped her thigh and her voice became louder. "That woman is not a good person. She has been in your house for several days. I don't know how she hooked up with Ye Chunwang!"

"Not a good person? What did she do?" Ye Li was a little curious.

The second aunt waved her hand and said, "Let's not talk about her anymore. It's annoying to talk too much. You came to see me so late. Is there any truth to what I told you?"

"It's done." Ye Li smiled, revealing two rows of neat teeth. "Second Aunt, we have the cloth, but it's all defective. If you think it's possible, then this matter is a done deal!"

"It's possible! It's possible!" Second Auntie was so excited, "It's not easy to get defective cloth these days!"

"How much do you want?"

The second aunt counted on her fingers and said, "Oh, this time we need a lot! Can you get five pieces of cloth first?"

"become."

"The day after tomorrow is the weekend, then you just need to deliver the cloth to the No. 9 bus station!"

"Okay." Ye Li also agreed, and reminded, "Second Aunt, don't forget the eggs and chickens!"

The second aunt patted her chest and assured: "Don't worry, I will never forget what I promised you."

"Then it's settled."

"It's settled!" Second Aunt said hurriedly, "If I want to sell this cloth, how much should I sell it for?"

Ye Li thought for a while and said, "This flowered foreign cloth is more expensive, while the work cloth is cheaper. Because they are all defective cloth, the price should not be too high. For the flowered foreign cloth, sell it for 20 cents per foot, and for the work cloth, sell it for 10 cents."

"Selling it so cheap?" Second Auntie was unwilling, "It doesn't even require cloth coupons, and you're still selling it so cheap?"

"Second Aunt, you decide. As long as it can be sold and it's not too expensive, it's fine!"

"It's settled then."

The third day after I discussed this matter with my second aunt was the weekend.

Liu Hua asked the warehouse manager to help Ye Li transport the defective cloths out and put them directly at Station No. 9.

The second aunt was waiting for them there. No one knew what she said to the salesperson, but the salesperson helped her put the large, tightly tied sacks into the car and then drove away.

Two days later at dusk, Second Auntie appeared at the entrance of the alley in Courtyard No. 9 again, waiting for Ye Li.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was dark and no one was around, the second aunt took out a roll of money from her pocket and said, "Auntie, let's split the bill! Five rolls of cloth, each about 120 feet long. Two rolls of fancy cloth and three rolls of work cloth. The total amount sold was 126 yuan."

Ye Li was surprised to hear this number, and quickly calculated in his mind that Second Aunt sold pattern cloth at about 30 cents per foot, and work cloth at 15 cents.

"As we agreed before, we'll split the bill 20-80. I'll take 20 and you'll take 80. I'll take the twenty-five dollars and twenty cents, and the rest is yours."

"You took the change, and give me the remaining hundred." Ye Li said, "This cloth also has costs, and I have to pay some of the remaining money to the factory."

The second aunt got 80 cents more and was very happy.

She had never expected to make so much money from selling cloth this time.

"Here, here are some for you." The second aunt took out a handful of tickets from her other pocket as if by magic. "These are the tickets I found for you these days. There are all kinds of things! And I found two roosters for you. People don't buy old hens, so they are kept for laying eggs! And a basket of eggs are all here!"

"Second Auntie, you are amazing!" Ye Li gave a thumbs up and said happily, "You are truly a genius!"

The second aunt smiled and said, "You are quite capable! No one in our courtyard knows about the business I do. How come your eyes are so dim!"

Ye Li laughed along: "I have a keen eye for talent!"

The old man and the young man laughed together.

The second aunt said seriously: "Li Li, we have to keep this business going! How much cloth can you get over there? As long as you can get it over here, I can distribute it."

"Second Auntie, let me tell you this. This batch of cloth was made wrong when the new machine was being debugged! There is also a batch of flowered serge in the warehouse. That was because the machine was not debugged properly and the cloth on one line was all wrong! If the higher-ups knew about this problem, it would not just be a matter of losing my official hat. Therefore, this batch of cloth was not sold, nor was it recorded in the account. It has been locked in the warehouse!" Ye Li explained.

Second Aunt understood.

With such a large amount of cloth, the leaders of the weaving factory were afraid of being punished and losing their jobs, so they asked the accountant to cook the books internally to smooth out the accounts so that no problems could be found in the accounts.

So, they were able to get this cloth out.

"If this cloth is gone, it's gone. Even if it exists, there won't be so many. After all, this defective cloth is a scarce item. It's really impossible to get it without some connections!"

The second aunt nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, you are right. Let's sell the remaining cloth!"

"Yes." Ye Li said, and took out another five yuan from his pocket and handed it to the second aunt, "This is the money to buy chickens and eggs."

"No, no, no." The second aunt was generous. "This little money is nothing! If we work together and sell the cloth safely without any problems, it will be better than anything else."

Seeing that Second Aunt didn't care, Ye Li let it go and planned to give her the money from other places later.

After the second aunt left, Ye Li got in the car without stopping and rushed to the hospital.
