This time, Chu Songbai raised his hand to block the punch steadily: "I'm here to do business."
Li Yao: "I believe you?"
Chu Songbai: "You should believe it!"
Li Yaojing felt that Chu Songbai had ulterior motives. There were so many people in the gang, why did he keep pestering Ning Jia?
Could it be that Ning Jia is the only one who could have this intention?
Chu Songbai took out two old man heads from his pocket and slapped them on the table: "I want more things this time, this is the deposit."
Li Yao looked at the two hundred yuan on the table and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Such a large amount of money was the annual income of a large rural family, and Chu Songbai put the money in front of him without blinking an eye.
Who is this person in front of me?
Seeing that Li Yao was unmoved, Chu Songbai took out another piece of silver from his pocket: "Three pieces. Do you want to do this?"
"What exactly do you do?" Li Yao asked.
“I’ll do whatever makes money.”
Chu Songbai said nothing, but Li Yao, who was very sharp-minded, understood it instantly.
There are two kinds of people on the black market. One kind is the kind who buy and sell whatever they need on the black market in order to survive and have enough food and clothing.
The other is to make a lot of money.
Chu Songbai belongs to the second type of person.
"If you don't want to talk to me, just bring Ning Jia back. Don't worry, I don't have any thoughts about your wife. I just like her because she's brave, smart, and a good businessman. If possible, I'd like to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with you."
Chu Songbai's words indirectly answered Li Yao's doubts.
He stared at the three dollars on the table and said, "Wait, I'll call her."
Li Yao called Ning Jia across the yard: "Wife, boil some hot water. There is no water in the kettle."
Ning Jia returned to the house quickly.
"What? Did you talk?" The first thing she did when she entered the room was to ask for business.
"He wants to talk to you."
Chu Songbai nodded and said without further ado, "Baskets, gloves, eggs, and beans. I want all of these things, as many as possible. Do you think you can get them?"
Ning Jia was curious; these things didn't seem to fit together at all.
Why does Chu Songbai want something so strange?
"I can." Ning Jia answered affirmatively, "But I'm curious, why is the thing you want so strange?"
Chu Songbai answered her question.
Douqi was sent to a large canteen of a factory in the city. There was a problem with the supply to that canteen, so a new source of goods was needed to deal with the emergency.
As for baskets, gloves and eggs, he has his own sales channels and locations.
Ning Jia understood it now.
It seems that this person has a lot of connections and has mastered the rules of the 1970s.
Ning Jia tried hard to recall several times, but he couldn't remember when such a character appeared in the original text?
After Chu Songbai left, Ning Jia used the excuse of looking for An Ye to fulfill her promise to give her a job, and came to her room with a box of chocolate.
An Ye had just come back from outside, his hands and feet were cold, and he was sitting by the stove warming himself by the fire.
"Why are you here?"
Ning Jia came up to her and stuffed a box of chocolate into her hand: "Here, it's imported."
An Ye was pleasantly surprised: "Hey, I didn't expect to be able to eat imported chocolate here. Where did it come from?"
"Given by Chu Songbai."
"Are you dark-skinned?"
Ning Jia shook his head: "No, Chu Songbai came to my house and brought a good deal! He gave me three hundred thousand dollars as a deposit!"
"Oh my God!" An Ye was shocked. "Isn't this kid too crazy? He actually came to your house. Doesn't he know how much trouble he has brought to you?"
"fine."
Seeing that An Ye was about to complain, Ning Jia hurriedly held her hand and said, "Ye Ye, stop complaining. Think about it first. When we first read the book, was there a character called Chu Songbai?"
"It seems... not."
"Don't act like it, be more sure."
An Ye thought about it carefully and said, "No, I'm sure not."
The heroine of the story is Lin Xiaoxi. After marriage, she also followed the rules of period literature to become rich and reach the pinnacle of life. However, in her trajectory of becoming rich, no one has ever been like Chu Songbai.
As supporting characters of the story, Ning Jia and An Ye have never met each other.
It was as if this person appeared out of nowhere.
Ning Jia once again had a strong question in his mind: "Strange, who is this Chu Songbai?"
After she said this, An Ye also became alert.
"Is this person in danger?"
"Not at the moment. I feel like he is just a well-connected trader who buys things at low prices and sells them at high prices to make a profit."
An Ye: "What did he want this time?"
Ning Jia: "Basket, gloves, beans, eggs."
Making baskets is easy. There are plenty of rattan in the mountains, and you can make a lot of baskets by processing it. As for the gloves, he provides the cloth and needles and thread, so you can make them yourself.
Douchi and eggs are both available in rural areas.
An Ye: "Didn't you notice that every time he asked for something, it was something we could get?"
"This is so fresh. He asked you for something that you didn't have, but you couldn't get it." Ning Jia thought there was nothing wrong with this.
"I don't know where he came from for now. Since there are no problems at the moment, let's cooperate with him first and then slowly find out where he came from later." An Ye said.
Ning Jia felt that this was the only thing he could do for now.
Otherwise, if you leave so much money unearned, who else but a fool would you be?
Just after finishing the discussion, Ning Jia was about to leave. As soon as he opened the door, he heard Old Lady Xu standing at the door calling for a meeting.
"What a bunch of idiots, holding meetings every day?" An Ye couldn't help but complain.
"It must be about Yuhong's feelings. Let's go and listen! By the way, to Yu's family!" Last time, there was still no news about Yu's family's feelings, so this time, we have to go home no matter what.
North room.
The whole family was together, and everyone had a smile on their face.
Old Mrs. Xu sat upright on the kang, with a small square table in front of her, on which was a stack of money and a notebook.
There was a pile of supplies under the kang, including potatoes, cabbage, onions, a fish, several pounds of pork and rat bones.
"Today, everyone came here mainly to talk about the harvest of the year, and also to talk about our seventh son's wedding."
When she heard about Lao Qi's marriage, Liang Lanlan secretly touched her man with her hand.
Li Yuan understood what his wife meant and asked hurriedly, "Mom, isn't the seventh child's wedding already settled? Is there anything else you want to say?"
Old Lady Xu glanced at him and said, "Marrying a daughter-in-law requires a wedding banquet? Doesn't this wedding banquet cost money? Are you brothers just going to watch and do nothing? If you don't want to take the betrothal money, don't you plan to contribute something to the wedding banquet?"
Ning Jia heard the same old talk again, so she was too lazy to waste time listening to it: "Mom, before you talked about this thing, did you forget that there is another thing you haven't dealt with?"
"What?"
"The Yu family."
"Sixth wife, let me tell you, everyone is happy that my son is a happy old lady, so please don't make things worse."
"Are you causing trouble for my family? For the sake of your precious Lao Qi and Lin Zhiqing's marriage, you start asking everyone for money. Aren't you causing trouble?" Ning Jia retorted bluntly.
Old Mrs. Xu slammed the table and said, "Sixth wife, are you determined to break up this family? You are the village women's director, and is this how you treat old ladies?"
Ning Jia glared at Guo Xian from the side.
What happened to the Women's Director?
The director of the Women's Department has to listen to her mother-in-law and do whatever she says?
Ning Jia was not going to tolerate Old Lady Xu. Just as she was about to retort, her expression suddenly changed and a smile appeared on her lips again: "Your words reminded me! I am the director of women's affairs and I am here to protect the rights and interests of women. As a mother-in-law, you always bully your daughter-in-law. Is there something wrong with your thinking? How about this? I will broadcast it on the loudspeaker of the brigade and use you as an example to hold a meeting for women in the whole village for a few days, so that everyone can reflect on how mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law should get along with each other properly."
"Pfft~" Liang couldn't help but laughed out loud.
Old Mrs. Xu glanced at him coldly: "Old Third Wife, you are very happy!"
Liang Lanlan whispered, "I see that my sixth brother's wife can help mom improve. I am happy for you from the bottom of my heart."
"Lanlan, say less." Li Yuan didn't want to get into trouble, so he quickly scolded his wife.
Liang Lanlan lowered her head and said nothing.
Ning Jia stood up and was about to leave: "If that's the case, I'll go on the radio now."
Old Mrs. Xu now feels nauseous when she thinks about the classes she attended last week.
Damn the sixth sister-in-law, she is the director of the women's department, and now she has learned to teach her a lesson at every turn!
"Stop it!" Old Mrs. Xu hurriedly stopped her, "It's not impossible to go home, wait until your seventh son gets married."
Ning Jia: "It's just the beginning."
Old Mrs. Xu saw her determination and knew she couldn't beat this "living ancestor" so she had to take a step back: "No! Yes, you have to pay for the seventh son's wedding. As long as you agree, I will give you a house right away."
