Chapter 108 Poor Health
Zhou Xiaohong was extremely happy because her younger sister earned forty dollars from selling the necklace.
"I didn't expect this necklace to be so expensive, forty dollars! I never dreamed I would have so much money."
Zhou Xiaohong counted them over and over again, her happiness beyond words.
"Okay, put the money away quickly, we have to go back."
Ye Wangshu felt relieved when he saw Zhou Xiaohong's happy expression.
She was afraid that her younger sister would remain depressed because of Gu Hongqi's matter, and now it seemed that it was a wise move to give up the necklace.
After counting the money for the whole afternoon, Zhou Xiaohong cleared her throat during dinner and said, "Mom, I have something to tell you."
Zhou Xiaohong was rarely so serious, and for a moment everyone's eyes were on her.
Zhou's mother was very worried, fearing that Zhou Xiaohong would say something again about not wanting to go to school.
Zhou Xiaohong blushed and took out forty yuan from her bag.
When Zhou's mother saw the money in Zhou Xiaohong's hand, her expression immediately turned cold. "Xiaohong, tell me the truth, where did you get so much money? Did you take it from your sister-in-law?"
"It's not my sister-in-law's, but it's thanks to my sister-in-law that I have this money." Zhou Xiaohong glanced at Ye Wangshu, hesitated for a long time, and told him what happened today.
"Mom, my sister-in-law is really amazing. She actually managed to put the necklace that Gu Hongqi put in my bag back into Gu Hongqi's bag, and no one noticed!"
Ye Wangshu paused after hearing this, then smiled and said, "This is also because Gu Hongqi did evil first. Don't think that you will always encounter such things in the future."
"Yeah, I still want friends more than money." Zhou Xiaohong's voice was a little low, and then she raised a big smile.
Then she divided the money into two and pushed it in front of Zhou's mother and Ye Wangshu.
"Thank you, Mom and sister-in-law, for taking care of me. I'm giving this money to you as a filial gift."
Zhou Xiaohong spoke very generously, but her eyes kept glancing at the money from time to time.
Ye Wangshu naturally wouldn't accept it, but Zhou's mother was the elder, and she, as a junior, couldn't speak over the elders.
But she was certain that Zhou's mother would not accept the money.
"You are my daughter, so it's only natural for me to take care of you. You are not a child anymore, so you can keep the money. But if I find out that you are spending money recklessly, I will take the money back from you."
Mother Zhou stuffed the money directly into Zhou Xiao's red envelope and pinched her fair face. "My little daughter has grown up and knows to give her money to her mother. Mom is very happy."
"Mom, you..." Zhou Xiaohong glanced at her mother and was instantly moved to tears.
"I don't want this twenty dollars either. I have to give you some more. I told you before that you have to be paid for helping out in the city."
Ye Wangshu added five yuan and stuffed it into Zhou Xiaohong's pocket. "Little sister, keep up the good work. When you have enough days, I will give you more money."
Ye Wangshu gave a bit too much, but a lot of things happened in the store these days.
Give the little sister five dollars, which can be regarded as wages and compensation.
Zhou Xiaohong put the money away and said "thank you" to Ye Wangshu with a red face.
Ever since Zhou Xiaohong took out the money, Li Xiaoxia's eyes have been red. Now seeing that Zhou's mother and Ye Wangshu don't want the money, she can't help but feel a little uneasy.
Li Xiaoxia coughed and then pinched her son's arm. Zhou Zhanpeng immediately understood and coughed a few times.
"Look, little sister, your nephew is not in good health. You might as well give this money to your sister-in-law so that she can buy some food to nourish your nephew!"
Li Xiaoxia had a smile on her face, and was afraid that Zhou Xiaohong would not agree with her, so she added another sentence.
"Little sister, Zhan Peng is the root of our Zhou family! Look, this is your only nephew, you wouldn't want to see him in poor health, right?"
Ye Wangshu glanced at Zhou Zhanpeng, whose face was flushed, and felt a headache.
Li Xiaoxia's moral kidnapping is really ridiculous.
But my younger sister was soft-hearted. She had gone against me several times before because of Li Xiaoxia's words. Now, would she give the money away just because of a few words?
The more Ye Wangshu thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, so he prepared to speak up and help.
However, Zhou Xiaohong did not do as Li Xiaoxia wished. She looked at Li Xiaoxia with a guilty look on her face, and then said, "Sister-in-law, my health is worse than my nephew's."
"I want to use this money to take good care of my health so that I can have more energy to study when I go to school. Besides... my nephew has you and my big brother!"
When Li Xiaoxia heard this, she immediately became furious, but before she could even vent her anger, Zhou Jinrui pulled her back.
Ye Wangshu had almost finished tidying up his shop, so he chose an auspicious day to open it.
On the opening day, everyone who was friends with Ye Wangshu came.
The shop was decorated very exquisitely by Ye Wangshu. Similar shops only had a few small mirrors on the counter, but the mirrors in Ye Wangshu's shop were integrated with the counter.
She also set up several dressing tables for her to help people with their makeup.
As soon as the store opened, Ye Wangshu launched a promotion where you could get 20 off when you spend 50.
For a moment, everyone who had a little money in their pockets was attracted by the attention.
Ye Wangshu's business gradually got on track, much better than she had initially imagined.
Ye Wangshu's store in the city was booming, and he finally received a reply to the plan he had sent to the Land Administration Bureau earlier.
The higher-ups agreed that the village could stop growing potatoes, but they had to set aside some land to grow crops and not use it all for building factories and houses.
The village chief naturally had no objection. He had been farming for most of his life and had never thought of using the land for anything else.
But he didn't expect that the conditions for them would be so loose.
The news spread quickly, and everyone started talking about what they would do with the land in the future. Most people wanted to be leeches like Ye Wangshu.
Although Ye Wangshu told others that he opened the store with the money he earned from selling cosmetics, everyone thought that not many people would buy cosmetics.
Especially since there are several stores selling cosmetics in the city, the rich people in the city will definitely prefer to go to those stores.
They all knew the principle of not showing off one's wealth. Although they had some complaints about Ye Wangshu in their hearts, they could all understand.
There was a craze among the villagers about raising leeches, but no one dared to take the lead.
It was the village chief who found out about this and went to ask Ye Wangshu.
Ye Wangshu frowned as he looked at the document sent by the Administration and shook his head. "There's simply no way the land in the village can support so many households raising leeches. As the saying goes, scarcity makes things valuable. If there are too many of these things, they will become worthless."
Not only that, this document also clearly states that aquatic products are not allowed now.
If it's a little less, it's okay, but if it's too much, something bad will happen.
"What you said makes sense. It's just like these potatoes. If too many people plant them, they won't be worth much later."
Ye Wangshu nodded and said, "I'll have to trouble the village chief to tell everyone about this, but... if everyone trusts me, I can lead everyone to farm and raise aquatic products."
"Everyone can see your ability, and everyone is waiting to make money with you!"
