Chapter 185: Making Money
It's not that she is poor. Even if she collected all her money, it was only more than 1,100 yuan.
The reason why she dared to offer 1,800 yuan was that she had told Liang Wei before that if she needed it, she could ask him to help her for a few days. Liang Wei agreed immediately, but he only had 600 yuan in his hand. If he put it together, the maximum amount he could get was 1,800 yuan.
But the other party still insisted on asking for 2,200 yuan. There was a difference of 400 yuan, which is almost an ordinary person's annual salary.
Huang Xinran sighed.
Where can I get 400 yuan in such a short time?
While Huang Xinran was worrying about the difference of 400 yuan, the young couple who were selling a bungalow were also arguing about money.
The owner's son was also helpless. In order to find him a wife, his parents had already spent all their savings, but it was still not enough. Now he set his sights on the welfare house that had just been allocated.
My parents have lived in this house for decades and have developed feelings for it. But now they have no choice but to sell it.
Even so, the woman was still not satisfied, complaining that the house was too cheap, the betrothal gift was too little, and the tape recorder she bought as a dowry was too low quality...
Now, he is pointing at his nose and scolding him for being useless.
He wanted to make a difference for once, but when he saw his parents' graying hair and the pleading look in his mother's eyes, he finally swallowed what he wanted to say.
"Don't say anything, Yanyan. That buyer probably won't buy it. You don't have to worry about us selling it too cheaply..."
"She doesn't want to buy it? Why not? Does she think the house is too small or for some other reason? Hurry up and speak!"
"Neither, she just thought it was too expensive. She asked us all to think about it."
"You think it's too expensive?!"
No matter what it is, if the buyer thinks it is too expensive and the seller thinks it is too cheap, it is always difficult to reach a consensus.
"If she doesn't want it, then let's find someone rich to buy it. I don't believe that I can't sell it at a high price. Next time there is a buyer, let me talk to him. I'm sure I can sell it at a good price."
Yanyan is rubbing her hands in anticipation and is eager to give it a try.
…
Huang Xinran thought for a long time and finally decided to work harder, run more times, sell more boxed lunches and small skewers, etc., and earn more money. Maybe he could earn back the few hundred yuan.
Therefore, she took advantage of the fact that today was Sunday and there were no classes in school, so she started making lunch boxes again and brought them to the foot of the temple to sell. She even made 200 more boxes.
But these 500 boxes of lunch are really hard to sell!
She had been here since the morning market opened, and now it was almost dark, the sun was setting, and there were still about a hundred boxes of lunch left. In addition, there were still dozens of small braised skewers and more than thirty tea-leaf eggs.
With so many lunch boxes left over, it was like she had gone out to sell a day's worth of lunch boxes, but not only did she not make any money, she ended up losing money.
What is going on!
It was getting darker and darker, so she had no choice but to close her stall.
While riding my bike back, I was selling my lunch boxes to the residents on both sides of the road. I originally sold them for 2 yuan a box, but I sold them for 1 yuan a box, which was like selling them half and giving them away half.
Fortunately, someone happened to like spicy food and bought all the remaining skewers she had.
One more thing was missing, and Huang Xinran was very happy.
By the time she returned to the shop, it was already dark.
She put the rest of the lunch box into the refrigerator, thought for a while, and took out a few more boxes to take home for dinner. Then she rode her bike back. When she came to a section of the road where the street lights were broken, she accidentally fell off the bike.
The bicycle fell to the side, pressing on one of her legs. The lunch box in the basket also fell out.
She climbed up, and felt a sharp pain in her ankle every time she moved. She quickly used her spiritual power to circulate it, and then she felt much better.
I picked up the bicycle and picked up the lunch box. I found that the aluminum lunch box was packed in a net bag. Although the soup was spilled, it was still edible.
After putting the lunch box away again, she pushed the cart back to the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yunchen also came back and was waiting at the gate of the family compound. He saw her coming from a distance and rushed over in one stride.
"You still remember to come back?! Don't you see what time it is!~"
Lu Yunchen was anxious and angry, worried that Huang Xinran had an accident, and also afraid that she was in trouble. He had been digging deeper along the previous clues and kept investigating, and for this, he even offended some people who should not be offended.
The higher-ups had originally believed that he had been seriously injured when he was on a mission to investigate enemy spies, and that the case had been handed over to someone else. He didn't need to be in danger at all. But he insisted that since he had investigated the matter, he should be fully responsible.
He wanted an explanation, an explanation to his dead comrades.
But, Ranran is his lover. Could it be that someone was thinking about her during the last encounter?
Or did she encounter something outside that she couldn't get out of?
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. He couldn't sit still and ran to the gate of the family compound to wait.
Because of this, I was laughed at by my comrades who interacted with me.
The moment he saw Huang Xinran appear, his heart finally calmed down, but the anger that followed made him unable to hold back and vent it out.
"I, I didn't expect you to be waiting for me... Sorry, I'm late."
Huang Xinran was in a complicated mood. She was annoyed that the other party got angry without knowing the truth, but she was also a little happy that the other party still cared about her, otherwise, she wouldn't be so worried. She felt even more wronged. He got angry at her when he came back from "fooling around" outside. Who did he think he was?
But in the end, she chose to speak calmly.
"Don't do this again next time! It's so late, and you're the only one with a daughter out there. What if something happens?"
His tone was very stiff, and he took the bicycle and pushed it home: "Hurry home, Yaya and Maomao are waiting anxiously."
"good."
Huang Xinran held her stomach and walked back slowly.
She had just fallen down and felt pain in her ankle, but now her lower abdomen was aching. It was probably because the handlebar of the bicycle hit her lower abdomen when it fell on her legs.
It is true that good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly.
I'm in a bad mood, and everything is going wrong.
She endured the pain and walked slowly back home. Seeing Yaya and Maomao surrounding her, she had no intention of coaxing them. Instead, she pushed Yaya away and said, "There are lunch boxes in the bicycle basket. You can eat them. Mommy will go change her clothes first."
I just fell down and my body is covered in mud, so I need to change and wash.
After entering the house, her lower abdomen seemed to hurt more. Soon, she felt a warm liquid flowing out of her lower abdomen. She quickly took off her clothes to take a look, and as expected, her period had really come.
She had lied to Lu Yunchen before, saying that she had her period. Now that her period had really come, she actually breathed a sigh of relief.
After changing into clean clothes, she lay down, planning to take a nap before going out to do the laundry. However, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.
When Lu Yunchen didn't see her go out for a long time, he came in and saw Huang Xinran sleeping with her eyes closed. The light cast a shadow on her eyelashes, making her dark circles very obvious.
She must be exhausted, right?
It was only today that Lu Yunchen learned from Yaya and Maomao that Huang Xinran had actually opened another shop.
He was happy about her self-reliance, but also troubled by her independence.
She runs a shop, and as her husband, she should be the last person to know. Doesn't she take me seriously?
He didn't know whether she was short of money or had anything inconvenient to do.
He had a lot of questions to ask, but after seeing her, he asked nothing.
Forget it, she is tired, let her sleep for a while.
Huang Xinran did not sleep well this time. Her lower abdomen twitched from time to time, forcing her to wake up from her sleep.
Feeling wet, she quickly got up and went to the toilet.
When she finished packing and came out, there was no one at home. There was a piece of paper on the table pressed down by a military water bottle. She picked it up and saw that it was a note written to her by Lu Yunqian.
"There's hot soy milk in the kettle, and the food is in the pot. You're too tired, so take a rest and don't work too hard for the next two days. Lu Yunchen, stay."
Huang Xinran couldn't help laughing: "This guy is really..."
Unexpectedly, her mood suddenly improved. In addition, her broken state of mind due to the photo incident was also repaired.
I opened the lid, picked up the kettle and drank some hot soy milk.
Comfortable.
She went to the kitchen to get the warm food and ate a delicious meal before returning to her room to sleep. She woke up naturally and saw that it was already past one in the afternoon. Thinking of the 400 yuan she still needed, she ate and went to the shop to prepare some small salted skewers.
Because of the store, the small brined skewers and tea-leaf eggs are selling very well.
When Yaya and Maomao came over after school, the two children also helped. When they had sold almost all the goods, they packed up the stall and prepared to go back.
Just when I was pushing the stove, Lu Yunchen came over.
Huang Xinran was surprised to see him.
Lu Yunchen was very calm and took over the remaining work. He washed what needed to be washed, put away what needed to be put away, and threw away what needed to be thrown away. After locking the shop door, he took the two children home.
"Aren't you feeling unwell? Just stay at home and have a good rest these two days. I'll take care of the money!"
"I know."
Huang Xinran agreed. He knew it, but he still felt more comfortable spending the money he earned. It was hard to live without money.
Lu Yunchen knew at a glance that the other party didn't listen, and he couldn't help but feel a headache.
This is the bad thing about women being too independent. They don't want to stay at home and take care of the land. They like to run around outside and make money for themselves. What can we do?
"By the way, this is the allowance for the next two months, here you go!"
After arriving home, Lu Yunchen took the initiative to hand over the household expenses.
Huang Xinran's eyes lit up. There was more money! It seemed that the money to buy the bungalow would soon be collected.
While she was still waiting for her to get married, Liang Wei came over the next day.
He came here, of course, to take the fruit home. At the same time, he also asked for a portion for another veteran, who was also said to be a great hero for the country and the people.
Huang Xinran naturally agreed.
