Chapter 169: How worried people are
The young couple were always laughing and joking in front of their elders, talking about everyday things, just like any other ordinary couple, except that they laughed a little more.
With a joke teller like Yu Yaoyang around, it’s hard not to be happy.
As for business secrets, the young couple talked about them in private and rarely mentioned them in front of their elders.
It's not that they were on guard against anyone, it's just that the things they discussed were quite complicated and profound, and some things could only be understood by the couple themselves. Xiaoyue had been trained with Yu Yaoyang for so long, so it was still a bit difficult for her to listen to the conversation between his brother and sister-in-law.
Rutang's thinking can keep up with Yu Yaoyang, and she is also very interested in making money, so the two of them can get along well. If these business tips are brought home and shared by other family members, it will inevitably be boring.
Hao Mei was also afraid that always talking about money would put pressure on the young couple. Seeing Yu Yaoyang laughing every day, she thought her son-in-law knew what was going on.
As a result, the money has to be paid tomorrow. The couple has only saved more than 1,000 yuan, and they have also borrowed out the money they earned from fishing crabs!
Hao Mei's eyes went dark and she almost fainted. It was over. She couldn't pay off the famine. Would her daughter and son-in-law be arrested and put in jail?
"Brother Yaoyang hasn't sold crabs for several days because something happened at the home of the boat owner who was close to him."
Only Yu Yaoyang can do the big crab business, all thanks to his good relationship with the captain of the boat. He would go to the captain every now and then and say something like "My father-in-law died tragically", which brought them closer.
Yu Yaoyang also made a lot of money from crabs, from dozens a day in the beginning to hundreds a day later, all thanks to the strong support of the boat captain.
The two of them get along like close brothers. The captain would rather send less to the guesthouse and ensure that Yu Yaoyang has sufficient supply of goods.
Although there is a more than ten-year age difference between us, we can still get along well and be considered friends regardless of age.
But just a week ago, the captain's wife had an accident.
I went back to the countryside to help build a house. When I was putting up the beams, I was accidentally hit on the head by a falling piece of wood and needed surgery.
The captain took out all his savings, but it was still not enough.
When they were short of more than a thousand yuan and had no other options, Yu Yaoyang and his wife showed up at the hospital.
When the captain saw the couple, he thought he was hallucinating.
It turned out that when Yu Yaoyang was purchasing goods, he didn't see him, so he asked other people at the dock. After learning that something had happened in his family, he came back to discuss it with Rutang, and the couple decided to help.
1,000 yuan was definitely a huge sum of money in that era. For a village beauty like Tang, a betrothal gift of 500 yuan was already considered a huge sum, which was enough to make the entire Chen family run around in circles.
Yu Yaoyang immediately gave the captain 1,000 yuan, stuffed it into his pocket, and left without saying anything. He left a pot of homemade chicken soup and left.
After listening to this, Hao Mei sat there with her eyes wide open, not knowing what to say for a long time.
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I believe in Brother Yaoyang's vision. He said that the captain is a good friend worth making friends with. He will be able to pay back the money in the future. Even if he can't pay it back, the money Brother Yaoyang and I earn from buying crabs from him is enough."
Rutang explained it to the two mothers.
"I'm sorry for not discussing it with you. It happened so suddenly. After Brother Yaoyang told me, we took action."
We are waiting for money for the surgery. If we delay it a little longer, the patient might not be saved. We can't afford to delay any longer.
"We are short of more than 10,000 yuan, so these 1,000 yuan won't make a difference. What are your plans next?" Xiao Li did not seem to be as panicked as Hao Mei. In fact, she had already prepared for the worst.
If her son really can't fill the hole, she will risk her old reputation and call the scumbag in Beijing who abandoned his wife and children. He will definitely be able to raise the money.
Xiao Li would not take this step unless it was absolutely necessary.
From the moment that scumbag gave up his family for his future, she treated him as dead.
"Brother Yaoyang has gone to the factory to negotiate and should be back soon." Rutang appeared calm and unhurried, and it was clear that he had everything planned out.
She knew her mother-in-law's plan, but she and Yu Yaoyang would not let her mother-in-law do that.
If young people start a business, they have to gamble with the dignity of their elders and force their elders to kneel down to life for them, then it is better not to do this business.
She and Yu Yaoyang had already calculated everything clearly. Since she dared to use 5,000 as leverage to pry 50,000 worth of goods, she must have been completely confident.
"They're back!" Hao Mei was so excited when she saw Yu Yaoyang and his brother coming into the yard.
Yu Yaoyang fanned himself with his hands as soon as he entered the room.
"I'm so thirsty, do you have any water?"
"I left mung bean soup for you." Rutang brought out the mung bean soup that had been chilled for a long time. It was drained with well water and was icy cold. Drinking it in the summer was the best way to relieve the heat.
Yu Yaoyang took the bowl and started slurping it. Xiaoyue did the same thing. He was fatter than his brother and his clothes were all wet.
"It's as hot as a scorching sun today. There's not a single breeze." Yu Yaoyang grabbed a palm-leaf fan and fanned himself.
"How did you negotiate with the factory?" Hao Mei urged.
The weather was so hot that it felt like a fire was burning down, and Hao Mei was feeling extremely anxious.
"The deal is done." Yu Yaoyang put down his bowl and let out a long sigh. It was so comfortable. That was the feeling.
Once again, I feel that my wife is such a wonderful person.
She had clearly just started a family with him, but living with her felt as if they had been together for decades. She was always familiar with his living habits and took very good care of him. Even his own mother was not as meticulous as her.
Take the mung bean soup for example. Yu Yaoyang originally hated to drink it, but her way of making it is very special. The soup is clear, completely different from the turbid mung bean soup his mother made. The mung bean grains are blooming and the soup is soft and glutinous. What's even better is that she would chill it with well water, which makes it especially refreshing.
Yu Yaoyang took the time to exchange sweet looks with his wife. When the weather was hot, Yu Yaoyang would often feel irritated and angry, but when he entered the house and saw her, he felt as refreshed as if he had drunk iced mung bean soup.
"Oh, please tell me quickly. I'm so anxious. What are you looking at? You two have been married for so many days, haven't you seen enough?" Hao Mei was worried about the family's debt of more than 40,000 yuan. She didn't care about her mother-in-law's words to leave room for her and went straight to urge her.
"Hahaha!" Xiao Li laughed out loud. Look how worried her in-laws were.
"The factory will give us the goods, and the payment will be settled the day after tomorrow. Xiaoyue and I will take the goods to the provincial capital this afternoon, and we will return with the payment the day after tomorrow morning."
"You want to sell clothes to the provincial capital?!" Hao Mei was stunned by this magical operation.
Before, when the family made clothes, they would get the goods from the provincial capital and sell them back. In the minds of the people in this city, the provincial capital was fashionable and advanced. Yu Yaoyang was doing the opposite.
"Well, Rutang and I have studied it..." Yu Yaoyang was just about to give his wife another sweet look, but Hao Mei stood between them!
"Talk first, and then see!" Hao Mei was afraid that these two would never stop being so affectionate.
"Pfft!" Rutang burst into laughter. Was her mother so anxious that she let herself go?
