Because Qin Ru had to go back to work in the afternoon, she didn't stay long after dinner.

Shen Yiyi gave her two kilograms of tea eggs to take back.

"No need, just keep it and sell it for money." Qin Ru said hurriedly.

"Second sister, don't refuse this. It's just two kilograms of tea leaf eggs. Give it to your nephews and nieces to try. It's not like I can't afford it. Also tell them that if they want to eat, bring a pot over to grandma's house. Aunt will take care of it."

Qin Ru couldn't help but laugh when she heard her sister-in-law's frank and generous words. "Okay, then I'll take it back and let them try it."

Then he said, "I heard from mom that the third child will be back next week. I know his temper and I don't think he will agree with you doing this. But don't quarrel and talk it out nicely."

"Don't worry, I won't quarrel with him." Shen Yiyi smiled.

After Qin Ru found out that her sister-in-law had come to a sudden realization, she liked her more and more. "I have another piece of cloth at home. I'll bring it back next time and make you a dress."

Shen Yiyi smiled and said, "Isn't Qin Lie coming back next week? I plan to take Mom to the mall to buy clothes. Second sister, you can keep the satin for my niece. She's a grown-up now and knows how to appreciate beauty. You don't need to keep it for me."

The two talked for a long time before Qin Ru went back.

On the way back, I couldn't help but sigh that my sister-in-law has completely changed.

I went back to Lao Su's house with two kilograms of tea leaf eggs.

…

After seeing off her second aunt, Shen Yiyi went to Lao Du's house to talk to Li Dahua about getting the goods.

The wholesale price is also 1.8 cents for a tea leaf egg, but this price is only given if the purchase is more than two kilograms, and the retail price is applied if the purchase is less than two kilograms.

Li Dahua still thinks the price is too high.

Shen Yiyi said: "I haven't made much money from you yet, I can't go any lower."

Seeing that there was no chance of bargaining, Li Dahua took two kilograms to try selling at the factory gate. She went to another factory gate, not the one that Shen Yiyi was selling.

Two kilograms of tea leaf eggs were sold out quickly, and I made a profit of only 40 cents!

This gave Li Dahua great confidence.

He came back excitedly to find Shen Yiyi: "I have sold all the two kilograms of tea leaf eggs. If I hadn't taken so little, I would have been able to continue selling!"

Shen Yiyi smiled and said, "Don't you see who you got the tea leaf eggs from? This is just the beginning. Once people have tasted your tea leaf eggs, there will be many repeat customers."

Li Dahua nodded, "Okay, I'll go to the factory gate to sell it tomorrow morning!"

Of course Shen Yiyi had no objection.

But Li Dahua's mother-in-law Aunt Du was not satisfied and went straight to Li Dahua to complain, "What are you doing here now? You want me to take care of the child for you, and you want me to take care of everything here, right?"

Li Dahua began to calculate how much money she could earn in a month if she sold five or even ten kilograms of tea leaf eggs a day.

Upon hearing this, he said directly: "Wait for the second brother's wife to come in, and then let the second brother's wife come."

Du Jiang was not happy about it, and he was not used to this sister-in-law. "After my wife comes home, I will take her to do business with me. She will be very busy. Sister-in-law, please don't assign work for her!"

His wife hasn't even come in yet, but he's already called her!

Li Dahua immediately asked, "Why? Do you mean that you don't have to worry about anything after your wife comes home, and I still have to serve her?"

"I didn't say that you should serve me, sister-in-law. Let's take turns!" Du Jiang said.

Li Dahua: "Mom, I'm doing serious work!"

Aunt Du doesn't care what work she does and wants to leave the children and housework to her. Forget it!

She is old, does she still have to serve a whole family?

Li Dahua was very upset about this and even told Qin's mother, "I wish my mother-in-law was as nice to you as you are!"

Mother Qin: “…” She didn’t respond.

Don't interfere in other people's affairs.

But Li Dahua is not the only one who has a lot of opinions, so does Aunt Du.

He also wanted Shen Yiyi not to buy goods for Li Dahua, "There are so many things to do at home, where do you have the time to sell tea leaf eggs?"

Shen Yiyi didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs, and didn't even try to persuade them. She just said, "Du Jiang gave this idea to his sister-in-law. Auntie, go ask Du Jiang why he came up with this idea."

When Aunt Du heard this, she said, "Was it Du Jiang's bad idea?" She thought Shen Yiyi wanted to make money and dragged her daughter-in-law into this.

"Of course, auntie, you don't think that I asked my sister-in-law to do this with me, right? It was Du Jiang's idea!" Shen Yiyi didn't feel ashamed at all. You should go back and deal with your family's affairs.

Of course Aunt Du was going to scold her younger son.

Du Jiang said, "Mom, why are you so depressed? You have to let your sister-in-law do it. Not only let her do it, but you have to support her. Otherwise, she has nothing to do all day long. She either eats melon seeds or sleeps at home. Don't you feel upset when you see it? And even if she is at home, I don't see her doing much work. Now at least she is going out to make money, right? And with the temper of your sister-in-law, if she wants to stay at home all day, she can make something happen even if she has nothing to do. When my wife comes home, she will inevitably quarrel with her! Now you have something to do, don't stay at home with nothing to do. How quiet is it? As for housework, you have to work harder. I will go to find my eldest brother. In the future, our family will give you an extra five yuan for food expenses. What do you think?"

Money makes the world go round.

This also applies to parents.

With the two sons adding five yuan each, they could get an extra ten yuan per month at a high interest rate, so Aunt Du agreed.

For this reason, Li Dahua complained to her husband, saying that her brother-in-law was just using their money to be a good person!

Her husband, Du Tao, asked her, "Do you want to focus on selling tea eggs? If not, we will refuse."

In order to sell more tea leaf eggs, Li Dahua had no choice but to give it.

When Shen Yiyi saw Li Dahua coming over early the next morning and taking five kilograms of tea leaf eggs, she knew that the Du family had already reached an agreement.

This is not surprising. With Du Jiang, who is smarter than a monkey, there is no chance of trouble.

But it must be said that Li Dahua's coming to purchase goods was unexpected, but Shen Yiyi was happy to hear it.

She felt that if Li Dahua did a good job, other unemployed young ladies and wives in the neighborhood would probably follow suit.

As the saying goes, a little bit of accumulation adds up to a lot. Maybe Li Dahua's new head will give her a surprise.

Shen Yiyi continued with her morning market and business at the factory gate, and then went to hawk her wares.

After that, she came to the entrance of the cinema to find her first client, Zhong Bing.

Zhong Bing had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw her coming, he immediately greeted her, "Here, here."

Shen Yiyi came over on her bicycle and asked with a smile, "Are you sold out?"

"Sold out, sister. Your tea leaf eggs are really popular. I went to the market yesterday and they were sold out straight away!" Zhong Bing said happily.

One pound of tea leaf eggs can make a profit of 20 cents, and five pounds of tea leaf eggs can make one dollar!

And it was only sold at the night market yesterday!

The profit he made was as much as what he earned from selling melon seeds all day long!
