Chapter 65 Familiar
"Girl! Girl! How much do you sell these cakes?"
Suddenly a voice called out to Ye Wangshu, and Ye Wangshu immediately turned around and forgot about what was going on.
Why does this person look familiar?
Ye Wangshu frowned slightly and thought for a long time before he remembered.
This person is Ye Wanwan's ex-fiancé. She and Wanwan had even gone to a wedding to make trouble together before.
"girl?"
The man waved his hand, and Ye Wangshu came back to his senses.
After stating the price, Ye Wangshu frowned slightly. She had a bad feeling in her heart, and she wanted to leave here quickly.
"So cheap!" The man's eyes lit up, and then he looked at the cakes in Ye Wangshu's hand, "My family has some things going on these days, and we need to hire a long-term worker and provide food and drink. Girl, calculate the remaining money, I'll buy it all."
"Okay, please wait a moment." Ye Wangshu suppressed the discomfort in his heart and counted the cakes. "There are still fifty yuan. Just give me one dollar and eighty yuan."
There weren't many pastries left, and everyone had gone to work by then, so even if they continued shouting for them to be sold, they probably wouldn't be able to sell many.
"You're quite nice, girl!" The man smiled innocently, then took out two yuan from his pocket and said, "You've worked so hard for so long, so you don't need to change it or rewrap it. I'll take it home and feed it to people directly."
Ye Wangshu nodded and handed over the remaining pastries.
Only after that man left did Ye Wangshu's discomfort ease.
After selling all the cakes, Ye Wangshu naturally took a bus back home.
"Hey! Mom, sister-in-law, you don't know how tiring it is to be an apprentice! Besides, there's not enough food, clothes, or sleep. Look at me, I'm so skinny from hunger!"
Zhou Xiaohong turned around in front of Zhou's mother and Li Xiaoxia with a sad face, and then looked at Zhou's mother pitifully.
"You chose this path yourself, why are you complaining about it now?"
Zhou's mother glanced at Zhou Xiaohong, then immediately turned her head away.
But his eyes were filled with heartache.
After this trip, Zhou Xiaohong did lose a lot of weight and her skin became rougher.
"How could I have known that we'd have to eat mixed-wheat buns every day? And we'd have to sleep in a crowded room with other people. The worst part was that sister didn't wash her feet, she'd fall asleep as soon as she closed her eyes, and she'd start snoring."
Zhou Xiaohong curled her lips and slammed her hands on the table with a look of grievance.
"I follow my master every day to watch him cut people's hair, practicing with a stick tied with a cloth strip, but I've never touched real hair!"
The more Zhou Xiaohong spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
When Ye Wangshu just arrived home, Zhou Xiaohong happened to come back from Xiuse Barber Shop.
Hearing Zhou Xiaohong complaining, she frowned slightly, put the basket of potato cakes aside and walked into the house.
"So, little sister, what do you think now? Do you want to continue being an apprentice or go to school?"
Zhou Xiaohong frowned and thought for a while, glanced at Ye Wangshu, and then said nothing.
Seeing Zhou Xiaohong like this, Ye Wangshu didn't ask any more questions.
"Mom, I'm going to the village chief's house."
"Have you found a solution?" Mother Zhou's face lit up with joy as she looked at Ye Wangshu, whose face was covered in sweat. "You've been tired for so long. How about I go call the village chief over?"
"It's okay, I'll just go over there. How can we ask the village chief to come to our house every day? This is not just the village chief's business."
Seeing Ye Wangshu say this, Zhou's mother didn't want Ye Wangshu to work so hard, "Why don't you take a rest first?"
"Business is more important. I went to the village chief's house just to have a few words. There's no need to rest."
Ye Wangshu refused Zhou's mother and left.
Mother Zhou had no choice but to shake her head and sigh, then looked at Zhou Xiaohong helplessly, "I wish you could be as sensible as your second sister-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaohong's eyes widened immediately. "How can she be sensible? They say raising those leeches can make money, but have you ever seen her make any money?"
"Besides, it's been so long, and I haven't seen her give birth to a child for my second brother."
Zhou Xiaohong's voice became quieter and quieter, but it was loud enough for Zhou's mother to hear.
"Why are you, a little girl, worrying about this? I, as a mother, am not even anxious! You're thinking about being an aunt again? What? You're going to raise the child after it's born?"
Hearing Zhou's mother's obviously angry words, Zhou Xiaohong curled her lips and tears instantly filled her eyes.
"What have I done wrong? Don't other families expect their daughters-in-law to give birth to children?"
After she finished speaking, Zhou Xiaohong ran out crying.
When Zhou's mother saw Zhou Xiaohong like this, she held her forehead and went back to the house.
Li Xiaoxia was in a very good mood watching the argument between the mother and daughter, and she walked out the door with a twist of her waist.
"Hey! Hey! Ouch!"
"What's wrong with you? You're sighing all the time. Sighing makes people feel upset!"
The village chief's wife glared at the village chief, and the village chief sighed again with a helpless look on his face.
"Okay! I'm leaving. If I leave, I won't be able to hear you sighing here anymore."
The village chief's wife was annoyed by the village chief and was about to go out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the door, I saw Ye Wangshu.
"Dr. Ye is here! Did you find a way to sell potato cakes?"
Ye Wangshu nodded. "Auntie, I'm here to see the village chief."
When the village chief's wife saw Ye Wangshu nod, a smile immediately spread across her face. "Your uncle is sighing in the house right now! Wait, I'll call him out."
After Ye Wangshu was brought to the main hall to sit, the village chief's wife went to call the village chief.
"Didn't you go out? Why are you coming to see me, an old man, again?"
The village chief looked up at his wife, his eyes gleaming with pride.
"Take a break! I didn't come back because of you! Doctor Ye came to see you. She said she found a way to sell cakes."
"real!?"
The village chief instantly changed his sad expression and ran out without waiting for his wife to answer.
"Wangshu! Is there really a solution?"
Ye Wangshu nodded. "It might be a little hard, but... if you can make money, I think no one will be afraid of this little hardship."
After he finished speaking, Ye Wangshu took out a wad of money from his pocket.
"These are the profits I made from selling potato cakes in town today. I haven't even counted them yet when I got here."
The village chief took the money with trembling hands and began to count it.
"Oh! There's also a two-dollar bill. Wife, this is the first time I've seen such a new two-dollar bill!"
The village chief spat and began to count the money.
He added up the money one cent at a time and it took him a long time to figure it out.
"Wangshu, you didn't lie to your uncle? Are these all from the potato cakes we sold today?"
Ye Wangshu nodded and said, "Uncle, don't worry. I can't do anything that costs money."
The village chief nodded and said, "That's almost ten yuan!"
"It might be this amount at the beginning, but after that... I guess it won't be this much. But four or five should still be okay."
"Tell me quickly, how did you sell it?"
The village chief looked excited and held the pile of money carefully in his hands.
"I brought potato cakes into town and took out some for people to try. After everyone tried them and thought they were delicious, they bought a few pieces."
Ye Wangshu told the village chief everything that happened to him while selling potato cakes, and the village chief was overjoyed.
