Two hundred headscarves were wrapped in two bundles. Song Yan carried one bundle out. The remaining bundle contained seven auspicious beasts that were meant to protect the house, which were temporarily placed in the empty courtyard.
Cao Zhang stared in disbelief as Song Yan left.
Xiao Mu, who has such connections, who just received over 14,000 yuan in payment for goods, and whose five ginseng roots are worth 4,000 yuan, actually took a fancy to this headscarf.
Cao Zhang didn't earn any money from Song Yan; he gave her seven cents directly.
Actually, Song Yan also learned something new.
Why is this headscarf so cheap?
The workers secretly made extra during production. They then sold them off privately.
Song Yan wanted to take some of the headscarves back to the commune and sell them there.
Wei Aiguo should also know exactly how he makes his money.
Some of them wanted to be sold to the Song army. He needed money!
Song Yan went to a quiet place to change back into his old clothes.
Song Yan was scolded for returning with a hundred headscarves and four pig trotters.
"You asked my second brother to take me out so you could go for a stroll, didn't you?" Wei Aiguo questioned.
"No! It's just that you weren't home at the right time." Song Yan denied it!
“Don’t you know you’re not in good health? You still went to places like that! And you brought back all this stuff?” Wei Aiguo said, pointing at the headscarf.
“This is for my second brother. Isn’t he short of money right now? The headscarf costs 1.5 yuan at the supply and marketing cooperative. If you don’t need a coupon, someone will definitely buy it for 1.6 yuan. If my second brother sells it, he can make several cents on each headscarf!” Song Yan realized that Wei Aiguo was really angry, and she looked at her second brother pleadingly for help.
Song Jun was momentarily at a loss for words. "I...I...Brother-in-law, don't be angry. I'll take these things. I'll just sell them!"
In fact, Song Jun was extremely worried. Where could he sell his wares? He had never sold anything before.
Could Wei Aiguo vent his anger on his brother-in-law? But looking at Song Yan's indifferent expression, Wei Aiguo couldn't help but scold her.
Wei Aiguo's anger hadn't subsided when Song Yan got angry too. Was this never going to end?
Song Yan ignored everyone and lay down by himself.
"You think this is the end of it just because you lie down? We have plenty of food and drink at home, why are you always thinking about making money wherever you go?" Wei Aiguo was genuinely angry.
Song Yanteng sat up abruptly. "Who said they wouldn't argue with me? Don't worry about me going today, it's none of your business if I want to go tomorrow! Let me tell you, I have my own legs."
"Xiao Yan! Say less. Your brother-in-law is only doing this for your own good."
"Brother-in-law, this is all my fault. Don't scold Xiaoyan anymore, if you have a problem, come at me." Regardless of whether my sister was right or wrong, she's at her parents' home, how can she let her brother-in-law scold her?
Wei Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief. His wife was pregnant, and he should be more patient. "Xiaoyan, I'm only doing this for your safety. We need to be reasonable, right..."
"No! I wasn't always reasonable when I wasn't pregnant. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm in a bad mood almost every day, and there's no reasoning with me." Song Yan seemed to think that she could do whatever she wanted.
Song Jun was dumbfounded; Xiao Yan was completely different from before. His brother-in-law was mainly concerned about his sister; the sister's behavior was a bit…
Wei Aiguo rubbed his temples, feeling a bit angry from worry. He had forgotten about Song Yan's emotional changes since becoming pregnant.
"Second Brother, you should go back first!" Wei Aiguo sent the Song soldiers away first.
Given the current situation, how could Song Jun leave with peace of mind? He felt that Xiao Yan would continue to act like a rogue. If his brother-in-law couldn't hold back, the two of them might start fighting, which would be terrible.
Could Wei Aiguo not see what the Song army meant? He forcibly pushed the Song army away, telling him to go to his second uncle first.
When Wei Aiguo returned, he sat down next to Song Yan. He tried to touch Song Yan, but Song Yan pushed his hand away.
Wei Aiguo: "If something happens in the commune or county, I can still find someone to bail you out."
If this were in the commune, I would even dare to use force.
I'm a complete stranger here, so if anything happens to you, I won't have anyone to turn to.
I spent some time in this black market and discovered how murky it is. If someone dies there, they can cover it up without a trace.
If you were just buying something, that would be fine; you could just buy it and come back. But you're going in to resell it. Do you realize how risky what you're doing is?
Song Yan also calmed down; her ability to protect herself was beyond Wei Aiguo's imagination. "I am a direct disciple of Lao Zeng and Lao Han, so I have the ability to protect myself."
You think we have enough to eat and wear, so I don't need to take such a risk, right?
Headscarves are something I do casually; I don't have to do them next time.
But there is one thing I'm afraid I'll never be able to change, or rather, my perception of it will never change!
I believe women should be financially independent, and even if they cannot be financially independent, they should at least be financially independent.
"Me!" Song Yan pointed to his nose, "I'm definitely independent both economically and mentally."
"It's impossible for me to rely solely on your earnings to support me, and I'm unwilling to live off the few work points I earn from the brigade." Even before, she didn't live solely on her hospital salary.
Song Yan used unfamiliar vocabulary, but Wei Aiguo could understand it.
In the beginning, Song Yan dug traps to catch wild boars, hunted roe deer and shot rabbits, and even got cloth from Han Yu. After she joined the army, she and Li Yuanzhao established a weaving team, and the work points she earned were beyond the reach of most men. The surplus grain filling the barn was all thanks to her efforts!
He knew perfectly well what kind of life his family was living! Wei Aiguo's meritorious service award was still in the bank, and Song Yan hadn't touched it. With his meager salary, it was barely enough to cover their living expenses.
