The next day, at the Liu family's house in the courtyard across the street.
"Yuting, if you're not confused, you should listen to your sister. Otherwise, you'll live a life of poverty, and we won't care about you!"
"Mom, I can't do it, I'm too clumsy. Why don't you let Yuping do it..."
Liu Yuting was uneasy, her face full of fear. Being a self-employed person was not a good business. Having lived in the countryside for eight years, she was more afraid than anyone else of getting involved with "capital".
Back then, my second sister Liu Yujie lost her childhood sweetheart from the same alley, but she was fortunate enough to marry her brother-in-law, who came from a cadre family. She became a golden phoenix that flew out of the Liu family, and everyone in the family listened to her orders.
This time, Liu Yujie instructed the Liu family to send someone to become a self-employed individual. When her husband's relatives abroad returned to China to visit, she could bring them to the forefront to showcase their business and find an opportunity to secure an investment.
"Are you disobedient? Yujie is sending you to set up a stall for your own good. You won't be able to find a good family to marry into if you keep going like this. Once you're doing well, Yujie will find someone to invest in you and help you expand your business!"
Granny Liu poked her forehead hard and complained that she didn't appreciate kindness.
Liu Yuting lowered her head, on the verge of tears.
That sounds nice, but if anything were to happen, she would definitely be pushed out to take the blame.
Liu Yuting was well aware of her position in the family; her maternal grandmother didn't love her, and her uncles didn't care for her either. Whenever there were good things to be had, she was never the one to benefit from them!
Granny Liu used both threats and inducements: "Your second sister is capable. If you follow her, you'll have a better life in the future. Back then, her younger brother-in-law was such a good-for-nothing. But after Yu Jie's guidance, he's about to get promoted. All of this is because he listened to your second sister!"
The youngest son of the Song family was featured in the newspaper before the Lunar New Year as a very famous scientist who was willing to dedicate everything to the country!
"Let me think about it some more..."
Liu Yuting couldn't bring herself to refuse. After all, she had spent eight years as an educated youth sent to the countryside, surviving on the five yuan a month that her second sister, Liu Yujie, sent her.
She owes her second sister a debt she can never repay!
"Still thinking about it! Time waits for no one. Once your second sister finds someone suitable and no longer needs you, you'll be crying. Once things are settled with Yanxia, you'd better get to work right away!"
Granny Liu urged loudly, as she was waiting for the Song family relatives who had returned from abroad to invest money so she could make a profit and help her middle-aged divorced eldest son and her eldest grandson, who had dropped out of school, get married!

When Zhou Hongyu got home from get off work, she saw Chang Meiying sitting on a small stool next to Granny Chang, watching Granny Chang prepare pig's feet.
"Mei-Ying, you're home so early today?"
"Yes, some classmates in our class got chickenpox, so the teacher asked our parents to come to the school and bring us home."
Zhou Hongyu nodded and asked, "Mom, has my sister-in-law come back?"
I'm curious to see the clothes my second sister-in-law left her. Were they ugly? Pretty? Old-fashioned? Fashionable?
Chen Zhaodi said before leaving home in the morning that she would take leave to bring the clothes back early.
Granny Chang raised her head and shook it: "No, she usually comes home quite late. If you have something to discuss with her, you'll have to wait."
Just then, Chen Zhaodi's voice rang out from the doorway.
"Zhou Hongyu! She's struck it rich! She's struck it rich!"
Let's go back half an hour.
After being scolded by Director He of the workshop, Chen Zhaodi left the factory through gritted teeth, holding her approved leave slip. She found the warehouse where the clothes were stored, following the address Zhou Hongyu had given her the night before.
The warehouse staff, seeing that she was alone, scanned her up and down and asked, "Is there anyone else?"
They'll send just one woman over with all the stuff from these warehouses!
Heartless boss!
Chen Zhaodi nodded in agreement: "That's all, just me!"
The man looked at Chen Zhaodi with pity, led her to the warehouse, and turned to leave.
Chen Zhaodi stood in the middle of several large warehouses, stunned for a moment, and quickly grabbed him: "Brother, don't rush to leave, where are my clothes?"
The man looked at Chen Zhaodi with even more pity, and circled her face with his finger: "This, this, this... it's all yours!"
The sound of a horn—
Chen Zhaodi suddenly felt breathless, her mind unable to process what was happening, and she asked again, her tongue slurring, "They're all...they're all mine?"
"That's right, didn't the person who sent you to do this job make it clear? This is a job that you can't do alone. You've lost out big time. Go find the heartless boss and demand an explanation!"
Chen Zhaodi resisted the urge to jump up on the spot.
She wasn't a heartless boss at all; she was a God of Wealth who brought her money!
That's right, she's set her sights on Zhou Hongyu as her lucky charm!
Chen Zhaodi instructed the warehouse staff, "I'll be right back!"
After saying that, he took off running and rode his bicycle home.
Zhou Hongyu! She's struck it rich! She's struck it rich!
After listening to Chen Zhaodi recount what had happened, Zhou Hongyu suddenly realized and slapped her forehead.
Ah, she almost forgot that her second sister-in-law's company was exceptionally large.
The "some" that my second sister-in-law mentioned really can't be considered "some"!
Chen Zhaodi glanced at the grandmother and granddaughter who were chatting and laughing while carefully preparing pig's feet, then grabbed Zhou Hongyu's wrist and pulled her a little to the side.
"Zhou Hongyu, you can't leave me out of this money-making opportunity!"
Zhou Hongyu crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Hmm... I'll think about it."
"Forget about it! Who among your acquaintances works harder than me?"
Chen Zhaodi was extremely anxious, as if her buttocks were on fire.
She was more anxious than anyone else to watch this great opportunity to make money slip away.
Zhou Hongyu raised her chin: "Then I've thought it through, I don't need you to do this!"
Last time, Chen Zhaodi contributed most of the capital in the partnership, which is why I wasn't worried about her siphoning off the profits. She was incredibly stingy and wouldn't give up a single penny of the profits.
This time, it was given away for free.
Therefore, Chen Zhaodi, who only thinks about taking advantage of others all day long, is not the first choice.
