Chapter 38 Making money is the happiest thing
Not long after, Shen Qingyue heard that the Shen family was also going to start building a house, and she also spread the word that whoever built a house for the Shen sisters would have trouble with them.
Chen Mei was still very sad when she heard this: "What are you doing?" Before the family split up, she and her sisters had always been working like slaves for the Shen family.
After finally separating the family, they still called on others to isolate them!
How could this be something your grandparents would do? It's no exaggeration to say they're enemies.
Shen Qingyue said: "If I had known they were like this."
Shen Qingyue was a little disdainful: "For people like them, the village is the only place they can live in their entire lives. Fortunately, we have the capital to settle down and not be bound by the village."
Chen Mei said, "Yeah." She had made some money these days and felt more confident, so she looked at things differently.
Chen Mei asked, "How much money are we still short of?"
Shen Qingyue said: "We are short of nearly 1,700 yuan."
Shen Mei got a little nervous when she heard this.
But Shen Qingyue was different from her elder sister. She knew that she still needed so much money, and her blood was actually boiling.
Shen Qingyue said to Shen Mei: "Let's increase the amount tomorrow!"
"More?"
Shen Qingyue said, "Yes." Only by producing in large quantities can one make money. She planned to steam a few more pots of rice and increase the amount of all the stir-fried dishes.
There are things that cannot be bought every day now, so I want to overload and make up for the money gap as soon as possible.
Shen Qingyue said: "But we can't do it this way. Go and call Sister Ying over." It would take several people just to wash and cut the vegetables.
Shen Mei said, "Okay."
She went straight to find Sister Ying.
When Sister Ying heard Chen Mei ask her to go over to help with the work in the morning and evening and to pay her fifteen yuan a month, she immediately agreed.
She has only her parents and one child in her family, and they live a very tight life. If she had a stable source of income, her life would be much better.
Sister-in-law Ying came over directly, and Shen Qingyue didn't hesitate to arrange work for her.
Sister Ying is a skilled worker, and she got the hang of it quickly. Plus, since it was her first time, she wanted to show off. She was almost as good as two people.
Shen Qingyue did all the preparations and processed all the dishes.
The extra food was so much that even an ox cart wouldn't be enough. Shen Qingyue went to see Uncle Zhuangzi again to see if he could find another cart so the oxen wouldn't be tired.
Uncle Zhuangzi said, "Okay, I happen to know someone who raises cattle in the next village." It's not the busy farming season now, and the cattle are idle anyway. If they can do some work, it can also supplement the family income.
Shen Qingyue said, "I'll leave it to Uncle Zhuangzi."
Uncle Zhuangzi said, "Okay."
Not only did he do Shen Qingyue's work now, he also pulled a cart around the county during the day. He calculated that he could earn 20 to 30 yuan a month, which was more than he could earn by digging in the dirt. Shen Qingyue was his benefactor. Now that Shen Qingyue had something to ask of him, he would definitely do it.
The next morning, Shen Qingyue hurried to cook.
For the first time, I felt cooking was a strenuous endeavor. The woks here aren't big, so I need four or five to cook a single dish. Not only was it hot sitting around the stove, but every part of my shoulders and arms ached.
The eldest sister was putting the vegetables in a big basin. Fortunately, I bought a lot of big basins before, otherwise there wouldn’t be enough now!
Early in the morning, I asked Sister Ying to help pack 60 lunch boxes. The garment factory ordered 40 boxes, and Shen Xiu's classmates ordered 6 boxes.
Shen Qingyue was used to living a comfortable life so that she wouldn't be short of money later.
Two ox carts came here early in the morning.
Shen Qingyue put all her things on it, and the two ox carts set off together.
When passing by the Shen family, I saw Second Aunt Zeng Juhua staring at their two cars until they left and could no longer be seen.
Zeng Juhua went out to inquire. She was good at dancing with long sleeves. There were several young wives in the village who got along well with each other.
Zeng Juhua asked, "How's Shen Qingyue's business going?"
She had always thought she was not doing a good job, but when two cars passed by her, she really couldn't deceive herself anymore.
"It should be selling well, otherwise how could we build a house?"
The young wife continued, "It would be better if your family didn't kick them out, otherwise all the money these two sisters earn will be yours."
Zeng Juhua felt a pain in her chest when she heard others say this: "I've never heard that Shen Qingyue can cook before!"
Otherwise, they wouldn't have arranged to marry her off in exchange for a betrothal gift. But now things are different. The betrothal gift is gone, and the person has been divided up.
Now that the family has been divided, the eldest wife's life is thriving, but the Shen family's old house is having a lot of trouble adapting.
After all, it is not easy to find a hardworking laborer like Chen Mei.
Although several maids in the third room can help with the work, none of them can do as well as Chen Mei even if all of them are added together.
Don’t ask, you will regret it if you ask.
But Shen Qingyue has become a taboo word in the Shen family. No matter who mentions it, the mother-in-law will get angry and wait for Shen Qingyue to come back in disgrace and apologize!
But seeing that they have even arranged two ox carts to transport goods, it doesn't look like the sun is setting.
There was nothing Zeng Juhua couldn't see at this time.
Those who hunt all year round end up having their eyes pecked by their prey.
Before the family split up, they didn't realize Shen Qingyue had such great abilities. Now they see Shen Qingyue making money, but their old house doesn't make a penny. It makes them feel so uncomfortable just thinking about it.
…
Shen Qingyue arrived at the school first to deliver lunch to her sister, and then arrived at the gate of the steel factory.
Lu Yifei, who had placed an order with her at the clothing factory yesterday, was already waiting there.
Shen Qingyue opened three kinds of lunch boxes, all with different combinations of meat and vegetables, and some of the local specialties.
When Lu Yifei saw the lunch box, he grinned and paid for it promptly.
Put the lunch box in a large cardboard box and carry it on the back seat of the car.
Before I could even get far, I saw someone from the hardware accessories factory coming in and said, "Hey, you're the lunch box here. Decorate it for me!"
Shen Qingyue asked: "How many copies do you want?"
The hardware accessories factory said: "How much they bought and how much they spent."
Shen Qingyue said, "The garment factory ordered forty boxed lunches. They cost fifty cents each if you buy them retail, and thirty-five cents if you buy them wholesale."
The hardware accessories factory said, "Please print 200 copies for me first."
Chen Mei stammered beside her: "Two, two hundred copies?"
The people at the hardware accessories factory said, "Yes, our chef has gone out for training recently. The few aunties left behind to cook are so disgusting!" The workers all quit.
The workers' logistics committee met twice and finally negotiated with the factory, which agreed to order meals from outside for now and resume normal operations after the chef returned.
The hardware parts factory approached a personal stir-fry shop and asked if they could take their order. As a result, they charged more than one yuan for each dish, based on the price of a premium stir-fry.
Just when I was feeling worried, I heard that boxed lunches were being sold in front of the steel factory.
When I came over, I happened to see Shen Qingyue opening the lid. The aroma was overwhelming. Seeing that the garment factories all ordered food from here, I immediately felt that I had made the right choice.
Shen Qingyue quickly pretended to be busy when she heard this. Fortunately, she had prepared everything today, otherwise she wouldn't be able to handle this big order.
The two sisters worked for a full half hour and finally packed two hundred boxes of food.
Before the steel mill's lunch break, Shen Qingyue had already earned eighty-four. This had never happened before. Making money was so satisfying.
