Chapter 322: Opportunities
Yao Shuli was quick-witted; when he saw that treasury bonds could be redeemed in Shanghai, he already knew what to do.
You could easily collect treasury bonds in the small county towns below and then sell them in Shanghai!
As that old man just mentioned, there are other places in Shanghai where these treasury bonds are redeemed at a price of eleven yuan each.
However, in Yun County, a 10-yuan treasury bond can be received for a maximum of 8 yuan.
That middleman makes a profit of three yuan...
This is practically a business with no capital required!
"Big sister, what do you think of my idea? We can collect treasury bonds in Yun County, or in other small counties. Anyway, we're collecting in cash, so we're not cheating anyone, and it doesn't take much effort."
"Big sister, I think this business is totally viable..." Yao Shuli looked at Yao Shula expectantly.
"Who will do it? Me or you?" Yao Shula asked with a smile.
Yao Shuli chuckled and quickly grabbed Yao Shula's arm, acting all cute like when they were kids.
"Big sister..."
Upon seeing this, Xiao Tiantian, who was still drinking cola, quickly put down her bottle and started to act cute, pulling on Yao Shula's arm.
"Big sister... please agree to Shuli's request! Shuli has been behaving himself for years and is almost going crazy!"
If you don't agree, who knows if Shuli will decide not to study hard again!
Yao Shuli...
You brat, how dare you try to sabotage me! If your older sister isn't around later, I'll definitely give you a good beating!
Yao Shula was being swayed by her two younger brothers, but did not immediately express her opinion.
Yao Shuxin, on the other side, didn't say anything either. Whatever her older sister's attitude was, that's what she would do. She would always stand on her older sister's side.
If her two younger brothers misbehaved, she would definitely teach them a lesson on behalf of her older sister.
"You need to go to school!" Yao Shula finally spoke up, much to Yao Shuli's anticipation.
Yao Shuli originally planned to work for two years and then quickly start earning money...
"Big sister, I will definitely study hard and won't let it interfere with my studies!" Yao Shuli quickly promised.
Yao Shula nodded and then made her stance clear.
"I don't care what you do, if it interferes with your studies, I'll definitely punish you."
I have two requests: first, if you dare to break the law, I'll break your legs.
Secondly, you can't let it interfere with your studies. If it does, I'll still break your legs!
Let's see what you can manage to pull off!
Yao Shuli was overjoyed and almost jumped up with happiness on the spot.
Seeing that Yao Shuli didn't seem to take her threat to heart, Yao Shula quickly added two more sentences.
“No! If you break those two rules, I won’t break your legs, I’ll just disown you! Do you hear me?” Yao Shula looked at Yao Shuli.
He didn't react much when Yao Shula said she was going to break Yao Shuli's legs.
Anyway, he gets beaten by his older sister all the time, so one more beating won't make a difference.
But the eldest sister said that if she didn't acknowledge him, then she should pretend she didn't have a younger brother like him...
Yao Shuli's expression immediately turned serious.
He quickly raised his hand and swore an oath.
"Big sister, don't worry, I will definitely not neglect my studies or make any mistakes."
"Big sister, please don't disown me!" Yao Shuli looked at Yao Shula nervously.
Yao Shula nodded, and then stopped talking about the topic.
"The food is served! Let's eat!" Yao Shula called to her younger siblings to eat.
Only then did everyone pick up their chopsticks.
Yao Shuli ate her fill and was full of fighting spirit, while Xiao Tiantian seemed to have something on her mind.
He glanced at Yao Shuli, but seeing that Yao Shuli was only focused on eating and couldn't receive his eye contact at all, he had no choice but to gently kick Yao Shuli under the table.
I just didn't pay attention to the force I used and kicked Yao Shula...
"Tian Tian, why did you kick me?" Yao Shula was baffled.
Little Tiantian was still hoping Yao Shuli would give her some response...
"Big sister, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" Xiao Tiantian quickly apologized.
Yao Shula nodded and put another piece of pork rib on Xiaotian's plate.
"Eat quickly! After you finish eating, we'll go out for a walk, and then we'll take you back before dinner."
Xiao Tiantian grunted in agreement, then glanced under the table, aimed at Yao Shuli's foot, and kicked it with all her might...
Yao Shuli grimaced and hopped around, clutching her ankle...
...
That night, Xiao Tiantian insisted on sleeping with Yao Shuli, and when Grandpa Lei found out, he could only smile and agree.
After Yao Shula supervised the two of them taking a shower and getting into bed, she stopped paying attention to them.
Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian slept together just like when they were little, with the blankets covering their heads, whispering to each other just like when they were children.
"Brother Shuli, you haven't finished talking about the treasury bonds you mentioned during the day! What are you really thinking?" Xiao Tiantian asked.
"What else can we think? We definitely have to seize this opportunity! Actually, it's very simple: we buy in Yun County and then sell in Shanghai!"
I'll give it a try and earn a little something. Anyway, it'll definitely be better than selling popsicles.
"After all, popsicles can only be sold in the summer, but these treasury bonds can be collected for at least a year!" Yao Shuli said, lying on her pillow.
Little Tiantian nodded.
Yes, Shulige is right. Popsicles can only be sold for one summer, but treasury bonds can be collected regardless of the season.
Xiao Tiantian also thought this was a good opportunity.
Although he wasn't short of money, his older sister was! To earn a pittance, she spent her days smiling and behaving like a servant in the small shop.
Therefore, he must earn as much money as possible.
"So how much money have you prepared for collecting treasury bonds?" Xiao Tiantian asked.
Yao Shuli did some mental calculations...
"One hundred and fifty yuan! If I had known there was this treasury bond business to be done, I shouldn't have given my second sister fifty yuan a while ago. I could have given her an IOU first! I could have given her more money when I made some!" Yao Shuli felt a little regretful.
Little Tiantian...
You've been thinking for so long and all you have is 150 yuan as capital! You think you can get rich with that?!
However, this 150 yuan was what Shuli had saved up over the years, selling popsicles and occasionally selling chicken cakes at the train station.
Oh, and there's also the New Year's money given by elders...
Actually, it's already quite an achievement that Brother Shuli has managed to save up so much money!
"That's all? But Shuli is already amazing! What kid can save so much money at such a young age? Even if they have New Year's money, the adults usually take it all away!"
"Brother Shuli, you may not have money, but I do!" Xiao Tiantian looked at Yao Shuli earnestly.
“I know about your little bit of money. It’s about the same as mine. We sold popsicles and steamed cakes together, and the New Year’s money from my older sister was all the same.” Yao Shuli said nonchalantly.
“But I’ve saved up money at home in Shanghai too!” Xiao Tiantian said earnestly.
"How much have you saved?" Yao Shuli asked.
Little Tiantian raised his hand and slapped her.
"Fifty? Not bad! Your little stash has increased a bit more!" Yao Shuli began to praise.
"No, guess again!" Xiao Tiantian shook her head.
"Five hundred?" Yao Shuli was a little surprised. Wow, Xiao Tiantian is indeed richer than me.
"No, guess again!" Xiao Tiantian still shook her head.
"Five thousand?" Yao Shuli sat up abruptly.
Xiao Tiantian nodded, "Well, although it's only five thousand, it's still a respectable amount!"
Yao Shuli...
As expected, children from poor families only have themselves...
