The five dollars went from the aunt's hand into Chu Yue's pocket.
Wang Xiulan was jealous and felt hot
Next to Wang Xiulan was Li Dahua, a military wife who often gossiped with her. Li Dahua's eyes were not as sharp as Wang Xiulan's, but as soon as she saw where Chu Yue was, she knew roughly what was going on.
"Comrade Chu, are you... selling something?" Li Dahua rushed forward and looked at the pine nuts and wild yams in front of Chu Yue.
When Wang Xiulan saw Li Dahua speaking, she immediately seized the opportunity and spoke next.
"Ms. Chu, your business is really good. I just saw that person handing you five dollars! You made five dollars in such a short time? Wow, this is much easier than working hard. You may not be able to make five dollars in ten days or half a month!"
What Wang Xiulan said was a typical way of stirring up hatred. It was easy for her to speak without any hesitation. She deliberately used a light tone and shouted out the eye-catching "five dollars".
After hearing this, the other sisters-in-law behind her began to look at Chu Yue in a different way.
Chu Yue had met Wang Xiu Lan several times. In the previous times, because of He Meijiao's presence, it was He Meijiao who rushed to the front and had conflicts with Chu Yue. Wang Xiu Lan hid behind her beautifully. Not only was she invisible, but she also gained a lot of benefits.
But Wang Xiulan was unlucky. She ended up vomiting out the sumptuous meal she had finally gotten, and was despised by her sisters-in-law.
As for He Meijiao, she refused to give up even though she knew Lu Zhanlin was married, perhaps Wang Xiulan was instigating this.
Chu Yue never tolerated such people and never had a good face towards them.
She looked cold and indifferent, with a sharp look in her eyes. She said directly, "Sister Wang, if you envy me for making money, you can also get pine nuts to sell. The pine trees grow on the mountain, only about ten meters high. As long as you can climb up and cut them down, you can also carry them back to the courtyard. Then you just need to light a fire to roast them, peel them, and finally go through a few processes to turn them into edible pine nuts. Sister Wang, you look so capable, you must be able to do it."
Anyone who heard Chu Yue's words could hear her sarcasm and contempt for Wang Xiulan.
When it comes to making money, nothing is easy in this world.
Among the sisters-in-law behind me is Carrie Lam.
Carrie Lam is from the north and has seen how men climb trees and cut pine cones. She knows that every pine nut is the result of hard work.
She said directly, "Ms. Chu earns her money through hard work. The pine tree is so high that every time she climbs up, she risks her life. Anyway, I don't dare to do it. This is the money that only Ms. Chu can earn. Wang Xiulan, if you are envious, just do as Ms. Chu said and climb the pine tree and cut the pine cones!"
"That's right... Wang Xiulan, you are so easy to talk when you are standing, what are you saying...?"
Other sisters-in-law also started complaining, and were very dissatisfied with what Wang Xiulan had said before.
Wang Xiulan never imagined that not only did others not join her in "hating the rich", but they instead attacked her.
She was so angry that her face turned red as she said, "She...she...she is setting up a stall to do business!"
"Yes, I just set up a stall to do business." Chu Yue stood up, looked at Wang Xiulan, and snorted coldly, "Is there an order to prohibit military wives from setting up stalls to do business in the compound? Or are you jealous of me making money to supplement the family income, and want to go to Sister Song to report me?"
Chu Yue still hasn't found the person who secretly reported Song Hongmei last time. Now she brings up this matter specifically as a test.
Although Wang Xiulan is a bad person, she is not cunning and her intentions are written on her face. She is obviously not the kind of person who would remain calm and report Lu Zhanlin's misconduct behind his back.
Following Chu Yue's words, the other sisters-in-law spoke up one after another.
"It's not like before. In the past, doing business was just speculation. It's different now."
"Wang Xiulan, I think you are just jealous of others because you can't eat the grapes!"
"I've told you so many times that the wives of soldiers in our compound are all one. If anyone tells Sister Song about something, I will definitely not associate with such a villain in the future."
You kept talking back and forth, which made Wang Xiulan's face turn pale and she became anxious!
"I...I...I...I didn't mean that...Why are you..."
Wang Xiulan really couldn't understand what the charm of Chu Yue was. She had only been in the compound for about ten days, so why was everyone so attracted to her?
Cheng Yuet-e glared at Wang Xiulan and said, "Alright, we came to the market to buy New Year goods, don't disturb Miss Chu from shopping. Let's go... Miss Chu, the return bus leaves at three o'clock, don't miss it."
"Okay, Sister Zheng, I'll remember that."
Chu Yue smiled at Carrie Lam, and then watched her sisters-in-law leave one after another. Wang Xiu Lan was reluctant to leave at first, but was finally pulled by Li Dahua and had to leave.
As the sisters-in-law walked away, someone was still muttering in a low voice.
"Sister Chu can come to the market to sell things, so can we... I can't even finish the cabbages I grow in the yard. Why didn't I think of selling them before? Even a little bit of money would be good!"
It is obviously a very simple thing, but due to the long-standing limitations of the times, no one does it.
Chu Yue became the first person to try something new, and it suddenly woke people up. Things are different now.
at the same time.
The voices of Chu Yue and her sisters-in-law attracted the attention of some people who came to the market.
An old lady came over and asked, "Little girl, I just heard you talking and it seemed like you were a military wife in the army?"
"Aunt, yes. My husband is a soldier, and I am a military dependent who came to follow the army." Chu Yueluoluo answered generously.
The old lady laughed, "Hello, military wife! Hello, soldiers! Your husband is a soldier, he will definitely not cheat me out of my money! Give me some of that yam, I will buy it from you."
"Okay, auntie~"
This small conflict actually became Chu Yue's living GG. After that, customers came to Chu Yue's stall one after another to buy some pine nuts and yams.
Gradually, not only was Chu Yue's bamboo backpack empty, but a lot of things in the space were also sold.
Her pockets were filled with small changes, which added up to a considerable amount.
…
"One cent, two cents... fifty cents... one cent..."
Nightfall.
Lu Yuanbao took a shower and was tucked into a warm quilt. Unable to resist the sleepiness, he fell asleep in a daze, listening to Chu Yue's soft words and the sound of her counting money as a lullaby.
In his dream, he still saw Chu Yue’s happy and bright smile when she took out a handful of change.
Chu Yue was still curled up in the quilt, lying on the bed, with all the money placed next to the pillow, and all kinds of small change spread out, one cent together, two cents together, ten cents together, two cents together...
She counted the money slowly, her eyes sparkling. There was no happier thing than counting money.
This was exactly the scene that Lu Zhanlin saw when he pushed open the door and walked in.
The Chu Yue in front of him looked like a little squirrel hiding nuts in a tree hole in winter.
