Lin Chuanbai received a call from Xu Haili.
On the other end of the phone, Xu Haili's voice was indignant, "Chuanbai, you have to talk to your wife. She is already a member of the Lin family, why do you always favor her family? You are not at home, so you don't know how much money her family makes. The house is so beautiful. We know what their family was like before. Your wife must have subsidized them secretly."
Xu Haili was genuinely angry: "This is the Lin family's money, and now it belongs to the Yu family!"
"Not everyone in the Lin family lives a comfortable life. This is a case of eating from one's own side and betraying one's own family! We relatives are not well off either. How can one only subsidize one's own family when one's husband's family doesn't even provide any subsidy?"
Xu Haili's meaning is very clear.
Xu Haili continued on the other end of the line: "Your wife's business is so big, if you lend us a little help, we won't have to worry about having no food to eat. Your brothers will remember your kindness for the rest of their lives. We all have the surname Lin."
Lin Chuanbai was helpless. "Second Aunt, did you call me just to say this? I know what she did. She didn't do anything. She just acted as a bridge. It all depends on her personal efforts."
Xu Haili's voice became louder when she heard this: "What's wrong? Don't you want to listen to what I'm saying? Are you from the Lin family? Seeing how hard our lives are, you don't even think of helping us. You even married someone from the Yu family. Why are you so ungrateful? We are a family."
Lin Chuanbai exhaled: "Second Aunt, you misunderstood. Xiang An didn't do that. This is his own hard work."
Xu Haili: "Give me a definite answer. Everyone can sell clothes. You sell them to me and I will give you commissions when the time comes. You are cousins. Your relationship cannot become alienated just because you haven't been together for these years. He always remembers you. Your wife can't just care about her family. And you have to be careful. You don't live together. Although I believe she won't do anything else, you have to pay more attention to it."
Lin Chuanbai chuckled: "I have something else to do. I'm hanging up now."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chuanbai turned around and forgot about it.
He hadn't contacted her for 800 years, but he took the initiative to call her after knowing that Yu Xiang'an had made money in the Special Administrative Region. He also kept saying bad things about Yu Xiang'an and thought that she might have an affair. He would have to be stupid to pay attention to her. If they had brought it up in a nice way, he would have thought about it carefully, but now... forget it.
You won't get a single good word from them even if you help them make money.
So why do something that is thankless?
Lin Nanxing saw her hang up the phone and came over: "Mom, what did he say? Did he agree to sell us clothes?"
Xu Haili looked unhappy and glanced at her: "What do you think?"
Obviously not.
Lin Nanxing sighed: "Our requirements are not high. It's okay if we don't sell them and just wear them ourselves." Lin Nanxing felt itchy all over.
She is a frequent customer of Ye Qijiajia's store.
She bought a lot of clothes, and her own money went out and Ye Qijia's money went in. She felt unbalanced. When she told her parents about it, Xu Haili had been dissatisfied for a long time. So the two of them talked about calling Lin Chuanbai to try to get a share of the money.
result……
Xu Haili's face darkened for a while. "Since he doesn't want to agree, then call dad. I don't believe that the old man will just ignore it. Even if his second son is dull, he is still his own son. Can he still watch him?!"
Xu Haili wanted to complain to Lin Duzhong. She had two children. She loved her son more and her daughter less. But generally speaking, they were all her flesh and blood. If her son was successful and her daughter was not living well, she would definitely ask her son for help.
Now his uncle is a high-ranking official over there, and they can't get any benefits from here because they are far away. Now that his nephew is not far away and can help, isn't it natural for him to lend a hand?
She urged Lin Jiqing to make the call, saying that it would be better for him to do so. However, after hearing what she meant, Lin Jiqing started to mumble and couldn't even speak clearly. It was obvious that this man was unreliable.
This person is unreliable, so there is nothing I can do but do it myself.
Lin Duzhong received a call from Xu Haili and heard her worrying about this and that on the other end.
First, she asked Lin Tiandong how his studies were going, then asked if Lin Houpu was doing well at work, whether he was healthy, whether he was eating well, and whether everyone else was doing well. She asked all the questions, but Lin Duzhong didn't say anything until she mentioned the purpose.
He knows his wife a little bit. He said so much, it seems like he would not come to her for no reason. He didn't even feel sorry for her phone bill. There must be something wrong.
After going around in circles, Xu Haili thought she had covered all the issues she was concerned about, and finally got to the point: "...But there's something that's been on my mind for a while, and I feel so confused. You said we didn't do anything wrong, Mrs. Chuanbai, why did she keep such a big thing a secret? We didn't have any conflicts when we got along, and we were all very harmonious."
Lin Duzhong was indifferent on the other end. Was there no conflict?
To be precise, there is indeed no deep hatred, but there is no other kind of emotion either.
Lin Duzhong felt a little toothache when he thought about it. When he lived in Baishi County, whenever Chuanbai and others brought food over, the second son's wife would have a share. There were so many trivial matters, and there was not much family affection.
Xu Haili: "Dad, they wouldn't hide it from you, right? If so, that would be too much."
Lin Duzhong coughed and said, "I know."
Xu Haili had a lot of words stuck in her throat, and then she raised her tone: "He wouldn't hide it from you. It's their grandfather and father. In our eyes, his second uncle has become a relative of the Eighth Route Army? We only found out about it last. He wanted to prevent us from taking advantage, right..."
Lin Duzhong frowned, "Did you think it was this big at the beginning? I've heard some things, it's very hard, and this is their life, they can live it however they want. You said you didn't know, but have you asked? If you had asked, they probably wouldn't have deliberately kept it from you."
Xu Haili was stunned. She really didn't ask. She was very jealous. Why could the two of them be admitted to the university in the capital and live such a glamorous life, while her two children could only follow the routine here and her daughter had to struggle for a house? She didn't ask. She didn't want to see their ostentatious faces.
Seeing this reaction, Lin Duzhong sighed. As expected, he had never asked. So what else is there to say? They separated a long time ago. Even Guangbai and Chuanbai’s brothers separated. This separation means they are two families. Chuanbai can say what he wants to say. If he doesn’t want to say it, we can’t say he is wrong. We can only say that the relationship is not good enough.
Lin Duzhong also doesn't want his descendants to have weak feelings for each other, but such feelings need to be developed through getting along with each other.
Judging from the way the second son's wife behaves, it's good enough that she doesn't offend anyone.
Xu Haili: "Dad, you have to take care of Chuanbai and his wife."
Lin Duzhong: "How do you want me to manage it?"
Xu Haili was delighted: "The Yu family got a great deal, the clothes are selling like hot cakes, and our Lin family is just watching her send the money to her parents' home?"
Lin Duzhong understood that she was jealous, "You want to sell clothes?"
Xu Haili responded loudly: "Yes."
Lin Duzhong: "Is this your idea or do other people know about it? Have you contacted Chuanbai?"
Xu Haili: "My family all knew about it and agreed with it. I called him but he didn't give me a definite answer. I thought that everyone else in the family had a job and it would be bad if they were delayed. So I decided to do this to supplement the family income."
She doesn't have a job and usually helps take care of the children and do housework. It won't affect her to go out and sell some things now, but if someone with a job gets involved, that won't do. What if it affects the impression of their superiors?
Xu Haili felt that Yu Xiangan was a fool in the long run. This business was profitable now, but what about the future? Would he be able to continue when he was older? Even if he made a lot of money now, it would be dangerous to make too much money.
If this had happened in the past few years, these would all be capitalists and would have been overthrown.
Lin Duzhong felt that she probably didn't have anything good to say when she called Chuan Bai, which was why he reacted like this. Lin Duzhong couldn't understand. Did she want Xiao An's help? Was this the attitude of wanting help?
Does Xiao An owe you something?
If she called Chuanbai and was full of blame, it would be strange that Chuanbai would pay attention to her!
Lin Duzhong felt very tired.
But this is her personality. She is already old and a grandmother. How can she change?
Lin Duzhong sighed. If he had paid more attention to marrying his second son, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.
It cannot be said that the second son’s family lives poorly. The second son has a job, his grandchildren and their wives have jobs, his daughter and son-in-law also have jobs, and they have a spacious house to live in.
The man Nanxing married couldn't vacate the house, but later on, Guangbai's house was given to them to live in. The rent was five yuan a year, so it was actually given to them for free.
Days like this can be lived well no matter where you are.
"Tell Chuanqiong to call me later." If there is one person in the second brother's family who understands, it is him.
I don’t know if what she said about her family knowing about it is true.
After Lin Chuanqiong knew what his mother had done, he pinched his brows and stretched out his tone: "Mom, what do you want to do?"
Lin Chuanqiong really couldn't figure out what his mother was trying to do.
"Mom, do you remember what you did when you wanted your cousin to help you some time ago? You cut the meat in advance, and then asked your uncle to help make a new cabinet. Now you want your second brother and second sister-in-law to help you, but you don't say a single good word. Why should they help you?"
Xu Haili was speechless, and then slapped Lin Chuanqiong on the arm, "How can they be the same? What is the relationship between your cousin and me? He has nothing to do with me. I asked you to call him uncle, do you think he is really your uncle? A cousin is three thousand miles away, I don't know how many thousand miles this is. Your second brother, you will also say that this is your second brother, you are the younger brother, what's wrong with him helping you?"
"He's not my biological brother. Even if he is, he has his own family. Is this the attitude you take when asking for help? If someone comes to you for help like this, what will you do?"
Lin Chuanqiong's wife didn't say anything, and the expression on her face was very subtle.
She didn't know what her cheap mother-in-law was thinking. She had a lot of twisted logics, but there were many capable relatives in this family, and she didn't get along well with any of them. She only got along well with people from her own family, but she liked to use things from her family to subsidize them. Of course, she was nice to such a generous daughter-in-law. Has she never thought about why she couldn't get along well with anyone in her husband's family?
I tell my husband’s family that we are a family, but I only say so when I am taking advantage of them.
When it is not needed, he puts it aside, and when it is needed, he says they are family members. This person is too realistic.
Lin Chuanqiong sighed: "Mom, when you were on the phone with my second brother, did he like what you said? Did it make sense? Why would he help you after you said that?"
Xu Haili understood. He was saying that her words were not nice, but she was telling the truth. Moreover, "I am his second aunt, his dear second aunt. Your grandfather will not ignore it if he doesn't help us."
Lin Chuanqiong: "Do you really think so?"
Seeing Xu Haili nod, Lin Chuanqiong: "..."
He wanted to sigh again: "Why do you want to do business? Mom, do you have a plan? What about the store?"
Xu Haili: "What kind of shop is this? Others also set up stalls at the beginning. I can just get a piece of cloth and spread it on the ground, which can save me money on rent."
Lin Chuanqiong: "Where do you get the money to buy clothes?"
Xu Haili: "Your second brother and second sister-in-law are so rich now, lend us some first, and I will pay him back when I make more money."
Hearing this answer, Lin Chuanqiong felt helpless: "Mom, why do you have such strong confidence? Confident that he will help you and lend you money? I really... Forget it, let's not talk about this. How could you have such an idea? Isn't our family's life difficult?"
Xu Haili: "Your sister doesn't have to buy clothes all the time. I think we can do it. It's not that we can't make ends meet, but it's good to earn some money to supplement the family expenses. I don't have a job at home, so my selling things won't affect you."
Lin Chuanqiong shook his head: "Mom, goodbye, listen to me, you said it won't affect you, but when you are busy, can we just watch and not help you? If we don't go, what will others say, Mom, don't bother with this, I was not sure about something before, I might get a promotion, don't do other things at home, it would be bad if there are twists and turns."
Xu Haili was surprised, "Are you serious? You are not kidding me, right?"
Lin Chuanqiong nodded affirmatively: "Of course it's true. There should be news in a while. Mom, don't make trouble with others during this period. If there is any bad influence, you might fly away."
Xu Haili nodded like garlic: "Okay, okay, I will definitely not make a fuss. This is a critical moment, and I am also a sensible mother."
Lin Chuanqiong: “…” I hope so.
"Talk to her about my sister."
Xu Haili promised: "Don't worry." No one can prevent her son from getting promoted!
After dispelling Xu Haili's thoughts, Lin Chuanqiong called Lin Chuanbai to apologize: "Second brother, I just found out what my mother did. I'm sorry. I don't know what to say to her. Please don't take it to heart." He smiled bitterly: "My mother was too impulsive in this matter. She didn't think it through. This matter is not suitable for her. With her temper, I'm afraid she will fight with others when doing business."
Lin Chuanqiong didn't want her to sell clothes at all. It's not that he wasn't tempted by the money he might make, but with his mother's personality, it's not surprising that she would make a fuss. He was worried that she wouldn't make much money and it would be too late to clean up the mess. So, forget it, isn't it better to just work honestly.
What he told his mother was not false. He said he might get a promotion, and that was true.
After he was transferred to the pharmaceutical factory, he worked diligently and his performance was noticed by everyone. The efficiency of many other factories was gradually declining, but that of the pharmaceutical factory was not the case. Its efficiency was still rising because their medicine was good and transportation was becoming more and more convenient, so they could sell their medicines farther and farther.
If he gets a promotion, his salary will go up one level, and the family will be able to live more comfortably. There is really no need for his mother to insist on setting up a stall under such circumstances. If she gets into a fight with others, it's hard to say what will happen then.
Anyway, no matter how he thought about it, Lin Chuanqiong didn't think it was an easy thing to let his mother sell clothes.
Lin Chuanbai accepted his apology. He felt that it was not easy for his cousin to have such a mother. It was okay when he was young, but after he got married and grew up, every time Xu Haili had a conflict with others, he was the one who had to settle the mess. He didn't know if his second uncle could utter five words a day. It was really not easy for him.
This matter just passed, and Lin Chuanbai didn't tell Yu Xiangan at all. He didn't think it was necessary to tell her and affect her mood.
He kept it a secret, and Yu Xiangan didn't know it had happened.
…
Liu Mingyue called Yu Xiangan to ask whether he wanted to buy the treasury bonds. It was fine for her since she was not assigned to buy much, but her husband was assigned to buy a lot, so she was a little confused about whether she should take out so much money to exchange for these bonds.
Yu Xiangan still has some impression of treasury bonds
Buy, of course you have to buy. Now I feel that exchanging money for these papers is neither useful nor spendable, and I am afraid they will become waste paper in the future. However, these treasury bonds will be very valuable in the future.
Yu Xiangan said to her that she couldn't say that, but just said that if someone was willing to sell at a discount, she would buy some if the discount was big. With the country as the backing, she believed that the country would not let everyone suffer.
That is indeed the case.
After figuring it out, Liu Mingyue felt relieved. She put herself in another position and thought about it. Now the people above were distributing the fees, and if they bought a lot, they could show their faces and be remembered by the people above.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Xiangan fell into deep thought. She didn't remember the period when treasury bonds were sold at a discount, nor the period of crazy growth afterwards. Most of her thoughts before were about how to cook, and she didn't know much about this. Lin Chuanbai didn't know much about this either, so even if he knew that this could make money, he probably wouldn't invest too much money for fear of being stuck.
Just after hanging up the phone, Yu Mansheng came to the door and introduced someone to Yu Xiangan.
This is a tall and strong man with a scar on his face. He looks very fierce and not easy to mess with. In addition, he is also tall, almost 1.9 meters, and strong. Just standing there, he can put a lot of pressure on people without doing anything.
Yu Mansheng: "This is the eldest brother of the young man who came to me to look for work. The young man was released when he was less than 16 years old. His life was not easy. I saw that he was smart, so I hired him to help with odd jobs. His family situation is not very good. His brother went to the army and has not been back for many years. It seems that he has just been discharged. His parents were sick before and could not be saved. He had a conflict with his uncles and ran away."
"This brother is quite capable. He didn't leave his address, so I don't know how he found me and thanked me for taking his brother in. I had given his brother an advance on my salary before, and he thought I was a good person, so he gave me a way."
Yu Xiangan: "What is that?"
Yu Mansheng: "He has quite a bit of money now. He went back to his hometown and repaired his parents' graves and built a house. He made quite a bit of money. He took the initiative to tell me how he made money." He lowered his voice and said, "He went to exchange things with Brother Su. He brought some daily necessities from us and went over there to exchange them. They were in need of light industrial products."
Yu Mansheng: "But he also said along the way that if you don't have some skills, you may encounter danger, but as long as you can come back safely, you will make a lot of money."
Yu Xiangan looked at him warily, "Are you tempted and want to go take a look?"
Yu Mansheng touched his nose and said, "You wouldn't believe me if I said I wasn't moved, but my child is still so young, how can I feel at ease? I know my limits."
Yu Xiangan: "It's good that you know the limits. If something happens... your child is still so young, I have to say it in advance. If your wife wants to remarry, no one can stop her. Most of the money you earn will go to your daughter. If she remarries with your daughter, think about it..."
Yu Mansheng's face turned green, and he strangled the budding idea in his heart once again. "I know, sister, can you please stop saying that? Good things don't work, but bad things do. I won't do that. Bah! Live a hundred years! Live in peace!"
Yu Xiangan glared at him: "If I don't explain it clearly, how can I make you give up? Okay, what do you want to say?" It's not like he wants to start from scratch. With this foundation, there's no need to risk his life on it.
Yu Mansheng: "That's right. You know that the Russians have different body shapes from us. The clothes we produce here are large and extra-large sizes that are suitable for their daily wear."
Yu Mansheng said this with some envy.
His physique is not bad, but it is not as good as theirs.
Yu Xiangan understood a little, "Do you mean to produce clothes that meet their needs?"
Yu Mansheng: "Yes, sister, didn't you invest in two clothing factories? This shouldn't be difficult for you."
It’s not difficult indeed.
If he can sell them and sell a lot, both of them will benefit.
As for whether it is legal or not, she is just a clothes manufacturer. When Chinese people come here to buy clothes, she sells them. She doesn't care what they do with the goods after receiving them.
"How much does he want?"
Yu Mansheng: "He wants 3,000 pieces for the first batch, but he wants us to provide samples first. He will take a look and confirm before asking for 3,000. Then he will send it over. If they accept, he will place a second order, which will be at least 6,000 pieces, and possibly tens of thousands. One of his requirements is the size of the pattern, and the other is warmth, because they are too cold in winter."
So, Yu Xiangan met this man named Lei Ming.
Yu Xiangan already knew the purpose of his visit, so the discussion went smoothly. Within two days, Yu Xiangan brought the sample of the cotton-padded jacket to Lei Ming for review.
He was tall and strong. He tried it on and looked at the seams carefully. "If everything else is like this, I'll take it."
"Okay, wait two days and I'll have someone pack it for you."
The colors Lei Ming wanted were also simple, one was black and the other was gray.
Because he bought 3,000 pieces, and Yu Xiangan was very optimistic about them.
People like him who go to Brother Su to trade are called international traders. There are even people who have even done the feat of exchanging canned food for airplanes.
In addition to the 3,000 coats, Yu Xiang'an also received 10 large-sized close-fitting silk robes, pullovers, jackets, scarves, and silk scarves from other stations.
Said it was a free sample.
If he is satisfied, we can order together next time.
Yu Xiangan also reminded that she was mainly in the food business. In addition to restaurants, she also produced instant noodle sauce and canned food, which were production lines she had just added this year.
Lei Ming: “…”
At this time of year in the south it is still the season of autumn heat, and it is too hot to wear short sleeves, but it has become cooler in the north, and the market for thick clothes is just right.
Lei Ming was doing this business with a few retired comrades. His younger brother looked nothing like him and was small and thin. He stayed at Yu Mansheng's construction site to do odd jobs. He, his comrades, and a few other recruited helpers took these clothes and boarded the train heading north.
If this trip goes smoothly, they can take a breather next time they run.
He made a lot of money, huge piles of US dollars, but his head was hanging in the air. Last time he came back with a knife wound.
