Chapter 265: Is it earned income or speculation?
Thinking of this, Cen Yan felt a surge of excitement. "Qi Jingchuan, you're my lucky star! I love you so much! I was just worried about how to sell the stuff, and you came up with a solution for me. Wait here, I'll cook you a couple of dishes! Let's have a good drink together!"
"Wife..." When Qi Jingchuan heard Cen Yan say that she loved him to death, his heart was filled with turbulent emotions. He wanted to say that he didn't eat late-night snacks, but faced with Cen Yan's enthusiastic appearance, he really couldn't say no.
It just feels a little strange. I always feel that Cen Yan doesn't treat him as a husband, but rather like a brother.
He didn't know when he would be able to make Cen Yan realize his feelings...
Cen Yan knew that Qi Jingchuan would always keep his word, but she didn't expect him to be so quick! He said he would get the birth certificate, and he got it done in just two days.
With this self-production certificate, she could openly produce Qi Bai Gao (a traditional Chinese medicine ointment) and then sell it through supply and marketing cooperatives, department stores, or military service centers. In addition, with the two hundred jars she gave to Tian Qi every week, she could earn at least a thousand yuan a month!
She couldn't even imagine how she would spend the money she was making at such a fast pace.
With that in mind, Cen Yan asked a carpenter to make two workbenches that very day. She planned to move the production of the Seven White Ointment to her home so that Qi Jingchuan could watch over it and she would be safer.
The carpenter finished making the workbench and delivered it to the family compound. Three more days passed. There was a workbench, plus other tables, chairs, benches, cabinets, and other things that Cen Yan wanted. There were quite a few of them. He was busy running around, which attracted the attention of the women in the family compound who came to watch the excitement.
"Xiao Cen, what kind of furniture are you making this time?"
Aunt Tang came up and touched the workbench, then looked at the other brand-new furniture in the room, and couldn't help but show an envious look.
It's all thanks to Cen Yan marrying a regimental commander who can earn money to support his wife. If it were an ordinary family, who would dare to marry such a "spendthrift" wife?
However, Aunt Tang didn't say these words out loud, as it would be annoying. It's Cen Yan and Qi Jingchuan's own money, and they can spend it however they want. It's none of the business of outsiders to judge.
She couldn't hide the fact that she was running a side business at home from Qi Jingchuan, let alone from the gossipy women in the family compound. It was better for her to tell them herself.
“Aunt Tang, ladies, I’ve had a carpenter make a workbench, a few storage cabinets, and shelves. There are so many places around the house that require money, and Jingchuan and I don’t earn enough with our salaries. So I was thinking of starting a side business.”
"This is all permitted by the organization. It's the same principle as every household growing some vegetables, raising some chickens and ducks to lay eggs, and then selling them at the supply and marketing cooperative or the cooperative market. That's why Jingchuan has been busy getting the self-production certificate for me."
To avoid trouble, Cen Yan made herself clear and even showed her birth certificate to her sisters-in-law.
“Making things at home and selling them outside is clearly speculation and capitalism! Cen Yan, your family background isn’t good, so don’t do anything that will cause misunderstandings or violate organizational discipline,” a sister-in-law said with concern.
Cen Yan pointed to the birth certificate, "Sister-in-law, buying low and selling high, that's called speculation!"
“I buy medicinal herbs outside, and then work hard through many processes to make the products and deliver them to the supply and marketing cooperative and department store. This is called the income from my labor.”
"Don't the women usually pickle vegetables, make cloth shoes, sew gloves and other small things when they have nothing to do, and send them to the supply and marketing cooperative? What, are the women getting into speculation and profiteering?"
