The next night, before going to bed, Captain Zhao saw Sister Zhao making small clothes again. He couldn't help but frowned, "Why are you still doing this? Didn't you go to persuade Jiang Yue?"
Mrs. Zhao had been pedaling on the sewing machine. She didn't even raise her head when she heard this. "Jiang Yue told me not to worry. Since she dared to accept it, she must have a way to sell it!"
"Tsk!" Captain Zhao didn't believe it. "I think you are short-sighted and just want to earn one dollar from this one piece!"
When Zhao's wife heard this, she got angry and said, "Zhao Youcai, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?"
Captain Zhao snorted, "Why don't you try to persuade her? Jiang Yue is making a fuss and you're just following her! Gu Ye is not here. If Gu Ye was at home, he would definitely not let Jiang Yue mess around!"
Sister Zhao: "How do you know I didn't persuade her? Jiang Yue said it, and Gu Ye knows it! And Gu Ye supports her very much!"
"Gu Ye is not at home, so let her talk!" Captain Zhao said, and then he saw a biscuit barrel on the table, so he opened it and took a look. "What's in it? Mushrooms?"
He picked up one, which was hard, and asked, "Can you eat this?"
"You can't eat it! It will poison you!" Mrs. Zhao retorted. She had discovered it, but she couldn't communicate with this old stubborn man.
Captain Zhao naturally didn't believe what Zhao's wife said. He picked one up and put it in his mouth. With a "crunch", he said, "Wow, it's delicious! Where did you buy it?"
"Hmph!" Sister Zhao didn't want to pay attention to the stubborn old man.
Captain Zhao ate several in a row and couldn't stop. At this time, he also spoke kindly to Zhao's wife, "I'm worried that you are working too hard. Our family doesn't need the ten yuan you earn. Isn't it good for you to rest at home?"
“It’s not a question of whether you are short of money or not!”
"What's the problem?" Captain Zhao said, "My monthly salary is 120 yuan. I send 20 yuan to my parents back home, and I still have 100 yuan left. Our family's monthly food expenses are 30 yuan, so there are still 70 yuan left!"
Moreover, as the head of the group, he also enjoys some benefits that ordinary people do not have. So Captain Zhao really couldn't understand why his wife wanted to earn such a small fortune.
"I can't convince you!" Sister-in-law Zhao didn't want to argue with Captain Zhao.
She remembered that she went to find Jiang Yue this morning. She originally wanted to persuade her, but ended up being persuaded by Jiang Yue instead.
Jiang Yue said that the country will gradually open up the free market in the future, so they have to be the first to try it out and make more money in the future.
Although Mrs. Zhao didn't understand what this had to do with eating crabs, she understood the second half of Jiang Yue's sentence: make more money!
Mrs. Zhao felt that even if Zhao Youcai had a high salary, no one would complain about having too much money. Why not take the opportunity to make money?
Captain Zhao and his wife had an argument over Jiang Yue. At the same time, Jiang Yue was counting the cloth she bought at home.
She went to the county town today and picked up two skirts made at Aunt Yang's house. She also left the fabric and design drawings and asked Aunt Yang to make two more dresses.
Jiang Yue then went to the supply and marketing cooperative, where Su Xin met her and told her that she had sold five T-shirts in three days.
This was also within Jiang Yue's expectations. Twelve yuan for a piece of children's clothing was indeed high compared to the purchasing power of the county town. In this day and age, children are raised on their own. Except for those with a wealthy family, not many parents would be willing to spend half a month's salary to buy their children a small pair of summer clothes.
However, to Jiang Yue's surprise, even though the clothes were not selling well, Su Xin wanted to continue to place an order for ten pieces from her. Jiang Yue did not agree immediately because she had other plans.
This time, Jiang Yue bought all the white cotton cloth that did not require tickets from the supply and marketing cooperative, and also bought cloth of other colors. This time she spent fifty yuan on the cloth.
Two days later, Jiang Yue's aunt passed. She remembered that Dr. Fang from the county hospital asked her to go again after her period was over, so early that morning, Jiang Yue rode her bicycle and took Ningning to the county town.
They went to buy some groceries first. It was still early, and they hadn't had breakfast yet, so they went to a breakfast shop.
Jiang Yue bought three steamed buns, a fried dough stick, and two bowls of soy milk. The meat buns were ten cents each, while the fried dough stick and soy milk were five cents each, and she also had to pay for food coupons.
Jiang Yue first broke the fried dough stick into two pieces, gave half to Ningning each, and gave one bun to Ningning. Someone next to them laughed.
"You, a woman, have a very small appetite. You only eat so little. How can you have the energy to work?"
Jiang Yue didn't know this person, so she just smiled.
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man. Seeing that the beautiful girl ignored him, he lowered his head to eat buns, but his eyes kept glancing towards Jiang Yue.
It's not that Jiang Yue didn't notice that the man was looking at her. After experiencing the harassment and pursuit by Xu Ergou's three bastards, and being warned by Gu Ye'er several times, Jiang Yue is now very alert.
Noticing the man's malicious gaze, she pretended to be casual and said to Ning Ning: "Let's go to Uncle Shen's house after breakfast."
Ning Ning was chewing a dough stick and asked, "Which Uncle Shen?"
"It's Uncle Shen from the Public Security Bureau, Chief Uncle. He gave you candy a few days ago." Jiang Yue deliberately mentioned Chief Shen's name to intimidate the man.
When the man heard Jiang Yue mention the director of the Public Security Bureau, he was indeed shocked for a moment, but then his eyes flickered and he continued to eat his buns calmly.
After Jiang Yue and Ning Ning finished their breakfast and left the breakfast shop, she noticed a man following them after only a few steps.
But this time Jiang Yue came on a bicycle. She got on the bicycle and ran away. When she turned the corner, she saw the man following her for a few steps, but he didn't catch up with her and was staring in her direction.
Jiang Yue didn't know where this man came from or why he had set his eyes on her. She thought to herself, maybe he was attracted by her beauty and wanted to introduce her to someone?
But it doesn't look like it. Never mind. It's better to be cautious. I won't come to the county town these days.
Gu Ye is not at home, she has to protect herself!
Jiang Yue walked around anxiously to make sure that no one was following her. Then she went to the county hospital. Doctor Fang saw Jiang Yue bringing a little girl. As soon as the little girl came in, she hugged Jiang Yue's legs and called her mother. Doctor Fang couldn't help but take a closer look and asked Jiang Yue, "Did you give birth to this child?"
Jiang Yue: “…Haha, yes!”
This time, Doctor Fang prescribed seven sets of medicine for Jiang Yue, and told her, "After taking these seven sets of medicine, your next menstrual bleeding will come. You have a special physique, and taking medicine can only relieve it. If you want to stop having dysmenorrhea, you have to get married first, and then you will be fine after consummating your marriage."
Jiang Yue: “…” So this old doctor had already figured out that Ningning was not her child, and was asking that question deliberately to tease her?
Also, what kind of special physique is he talking about? Could it be that this old doctor could tell that she had a Phoenix Marrow Body?
That shouldn’t be the case!
After writing the prescription, the old doctor looked up at Jiang Yue from above his glasses and asked, "Do you want to prescribe cotton wool and gauze this time?"
"Yes!" Jiang Yue said quickly.
Jiang Yue was secretly shocked by what the old doctor said. The old Chinese doctor her grandmother saw in her previous life said the same thing.
However, in her previous life, she believed that what the old Chinese medicine doctor said about consummating sex to relieve dysmenorrhea had no scientific basis. She was so focused on her career at the time that she did not take it seriously.
In this life, well, I’ll try it when Gu Ye comes back!
