Gu Wanwan raised her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. "There will be more benefits next time. Now everyone knows my job. If you have mountain products or something like that at home and want to sell them, you can find me. I will buy them. The price is better than at the purchasing station."
"For example, the red crayfish in our village river, or the snails in the fields..."
"Really?" The villagers were ecstatic. The things that Gu Zhiqing mentioned could be found by just digging in the mountains or rivers. It required no capital at all, only a little effort. "Then we will go and look for them after work. I can grab a few sacks!"
The key point is that Gu Zhiqing is collecting the goods on behalf of the department store, so there is no speculation and the transaction can be carried out safely.
Maybe after some time, Xiangyang Village will surpass Qingshan Village and become rich.
The villagers who couldn't buy cloth just now were regretting their decision. Now, they no longer have the opportunity to make money.
Old Mrs. Fu couldn't get any advantage and was dragged away by Old Man Fu.
"Then the job should be given to my son..."
"Your son is not qualified for that job." Old man Fu knew that his youngest son was not cut out for business. If he stole someone else's job and the department store didn't recognize it and he couldn't procure the conditions, he would have no money. Wouldn't that be wasted work?
From that day on, Xiangyang Village was swept by a craze for catching crayfish and snails, and anyone who could run and jump would go into the water at the foot of the mountain.
At first, Qingshan's wife would make some provocative remarks and laugh at the villagers for working for Gu Wanwan for free, until the villagers caught dozens of kilograms of crayfish and sold them at five cents a kilogram. She earned three yuan in just one afternoon.
If it's three dollars a day, wouldn't that be higher than a worker's salary in a month?
If Xiangyang Village is not rich, who will be rich?
You have to know that usually this thing is given away for free, no one wants it, it's a miracle that you can make money from it.
Zhao Guoming's home
Deng Xiunü has been living a happy and carefree life these days by blackmailing Zhao Simei.
Thanks to the idea given to her by Gu Wanwan, now that she knew that the villagers made a lot of money by selling crayfish, she immediately took her husband and son, and her parents' family to look for mountain products and catch crayfish to make money. Unexpectedly, they actually earned five yuan.
When she had the money in her hands, Deng Xiuniu felt satisfied. She felt at ease spending the money she earned herself. The more she worked, the more motivated she became, and gradually she got rid of her laziness.
Sun Chunlian stood in the yard with a gloomy face. She felt very uncomfortable when she saw her mother-in-law happily holding clothes and going to find Gu Wanwan.
During this period, she complained to Brother Zhao, who also felt that her mother was a bit of a spendthrift. The couple discussed and decided to talk about dividing the family property during dinner.
Aunt Lu had just handed the goods to Sister Wan. Sister Wan paid a processing fee of ten yuan and was about to share them with her family to celebrate, but she heard her second daughter-in-law was making a fuss about dividing the family property.
In order to smoothly divide the family property, Sun Chunlian had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak, "Mom, even if it's unfilial, I have to say something. It's better for you to work in the fields than to work for Gu Zhiqing without any pay. Why do you work so hard?"
"Although the cloth is cheap, mother should at least tell us if she wants to spend money. It's more than 20 yuan. That's the money for the public school. We have to pay for the tuition for our grandson in the future. If our family continues to lose money, we will be penniless sooner or later."
"If mother doesn't listen, we'll have no choice but to separate!"
Brother Zhao remained silent, which was considered as his support for his wife.
Zhao Guoming slammed his chopsticks on the table. "How much money can you and your wife earn? It has always been your father and your mother who have been subsidizing you. What if your mother spends money? I am happy to let her spend it. Why should your mother go to the fields to work?"
Aunt Lu was very disappointed and said, "Send the second son away, and the third son, go and call the relatives."
Sun Chunlian was secretly happy that she could finally be the master of the house.
Deng Xiunv was happy that she had made money today, so she specially cut a piece of meat to go home for the meal, and brought the portion for her parents-in-law over, "Dad and Mom, this is a gift from my husband and me to you."
For a moment, Aunt Lu felt that the sun was rising from the west. "You are so thoughtful."
Zhao Guoming was quite surprised. "Old man, where did you get the money?"
Deng Xiuniu raised her head proudly, as if asking for praise. "I earned this money this afternoon by catching crayfish with my parents. It's five dollars. I don't want to be a dependent like my younger brother and sister. My brother and I will make money and be more filial to our parents in the future."
Brother Zhao scratched his head in ignorance. How much he resented Gu Wanwan before, how much he respected her now, because she was his boss.
Aunt Lu was really impressed this time. Is this still her daughter-in-law who is so stubborn and supportive of her brother?
"I'm happy for you if you can think clearly. As long as you keep your feet on the ground, you will get the rewards you deserve."
Deng Xiunv said proudly, "My life, your dream, my sister-in-law can't envy it. Since my sister-in-law has separated from the family, she shouldn't miss the meat I gave to my parents, right?"
Sun Chunlian secretly vowed that she would live better than the eldest wife after the family split up.
In her opinion, her mother-in-law did not distinguish between relatives and strangers and did not work in the fields, so she was a burden to the second wife. The most urgent task was to get rid of this burden.
Brother Zhao San acted quickly and soon found the clan relatives. With their witness, the second branch of the family was successfully divided.
After Sun Chunlian signed and stamped her handprint, she felt relieved. "Don't worry, Dad and Mom. We will give you as much as your eldest sister-in-law gives you for your retirement."
It's better to lose the battle than the fight. Everyone can say nice things.
Now that I have received the family division money, I don’t have to worry about my mother squandering the money anymore.
"Mom, even though we have pension money and Dad's salary, you've been busy making clothes lately, so you should save some money."
Aunt Lu saw that the matter was settled, so she stopped hiding it and prepared to start slapping him in the face, "No need, I can spend the money I earn however I want, I don't need to subsidize the second wife, I am happy and comfortable."
Sun Chunlian didn't believe it at all and tried hard to hold back the laughter that was about to come out of her mouth. "What nonsense are you talking about, mother? If you don't work in the fields to earn work points, where does the money come from?"
"Remember I made ten pieces of clothing for Sister Wan? I just delivered the goods and earned ten yuan, which was settled on the spot." Aunt Lu's highlight moment came. She took out money from her pocket and slapped it on the table. "This is why I don't work in the fields. If I make a few more pieces, I guess my salary will catch up with the third child."
"I wanted to tell you during dinner that I made money, but the second brother's family split up. It seems like you are unlucky."
When Zhao Guoming heard that his wife had earned ten yuan without saying anything, he gave her a thumbs up and said, "It's higher than my salary. My wife is awesome."
Aunt Lu was so proud that she said, "I will support you in the future and you can live a good life with me."
Sun Chunlian was a little depressed and regretted having to break up the family. If the family had not been divided, the money earned by her mother-in-law could have been used for her own family. But no matter how much she regretted it, the family had already been completely divided.
Brother Zhao felt extremely guilty, "Mom, I was wrong, I misunderstood you..."
Aunt Lu sighed and said, "Live your own life well and take on the responsibility of supporting the family."
The next day, Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen went to the machinery factory and prepared to drive a tractor back.
It is said that Captain Xisong used his connections to release Liu Laixi's parents' family ahead of schedule.
As soon as he was released, Captain Xisong deliberately brought people to Xiangyang Village, intending to put pressure on Zhao Guoming, "Zhao Guoming, what do you think? Ask Gu Zhiqing to come out and apologize."
