Chapter 77: Dividing the Money

Huang Xinran did not go back directly. Instead, she took her eldest brother to a place.

"Sister, where are we going?"

Seeing his sister going further and further away, Huang Hongyi was worried that something was wrong and couldn't help but speak up.

"Don't worry, we'll be there in a moment."

Huang Xinran took him to a small alley at the entrance of a farmers' market. "It's almost noon now, and this is the best time for people to buy vegetables. I'll try this, maybe I can sell a little more."

Here, she repeated her old tricks and continued to sell her clothes. However, this time, she no longer stood on the ground and shouted for sale, but hid her big bag behind her body, held a shirt in her hand, and greeted passers-by stealthily.

"Big sister, do you want a shirt? I have this one on, and they have sizes. And bell-bottom pants, they are so fashionable! They are only 15 yuan each, and you can get a discount if you want a set!"

"Girl, do you want to buy a shirt? They are definitely good-looking and cheaper than those in department stores, with many styles... and bell-bottom jeans, but I specially asked my friend in Shenzhen to bring them back. The size is wrong, I can't wear it! Do you want one?"

"Uncle, please buy some clothes for your daughter! Something stylish, good-looking and economical. Take a look."

“…”

Thanks to Huang Xinran's eloquent speech, she sold dozens of sets as the crowd of people buying vegetables gradually thinned out.

Especially later, when people discovered that the shirts and flared jeans she was selling were very fashionable, a large number of people gathered around her to buy them.

Seeing that he only had a few sets of clothes left, Huang Xinran simply packed up his stall and prepared to return.

Huang Hongyi was in a very low mood, "Of course, someone just took away two pieces of clothes..."

"Didn't you take it back? It's not a big deal." Huang Xinran laughed.

"No, it was the other two. There were too many people there, I didn't have time to stop them, and I didn't dare to shout..."

Huang Hongyi felt bad for disrupting his sister's business in order to catch the thief in the morning. Now this happened again. He was just a little hesitant and missed the best chance to catch the thief, and let him run away.

The clothes were not recovered...

"It's okay. When doing business, there are bound to be losses. If there is anything, let's go home and talk about it."

Although he still had a lot of clothes on hand, Huang Xinran had no intention of continuing to sell. He directly pulled Huang Hongyi to the agreed location and got on the truck that Zhang Li and Wang Hongjun were taking back.

When he returned home and counted the remaining clothes and income, Huang Xinran felt very emotional.

"Today's sales were really good. The cheapest clothes were 10 yuan each, and the most expensive were 15 yuan each. In total, 42 sets of clothes were sold, and the income was 535 yuan. After deducting the cost... the net profit was about 150 yuan. Because we had to deduct the cost of the two stolen clothes... Brother, you are also exhausted today. Here, this is your share, 50 yuan."

"No, no, no... this is too much! Just give me two dollars."

Huang Hongyi blushed and kept declining.

It was all his fault. He caused my sister to lose her business, and later she lost two pieces of clothing. It was all his fault. How could he have the nerve to take so much money!

"Just take it if you give it to me!"

Huang Xinran was amused and forced the money into his hand: "Brother, I am just giving you a reminder. You must be careful in the future and don't let others take advantage of you and steal your clothes. Otherwise, if this continues, I am afraid that we will not make any money, but it is good to not lose money. Take this money back, my sister-in-law is still in confinement after childbirth, you should comfort her."

"That's... okay. But next time, I can't take that much money again."

Huang Hongyi made up his mind.

Huang Xinran just smiled and didn't say much.

Today, we can't just blame the eldest brother, we also blame her for not being alert enough. Another reason is that they brought too much goods today, which not only exposed their whereabouts, but also gave others room to take advantage. Next time we go to sell, we must not do this again.

Huang Hongyi didn't stay long and hurried home.

Huang Xinran secretly told Zhang Wenbi about today's income.

Of course, she was not telling the truth. The main reason was that those bell-bottom jeans and sunglasses were the joint capital of Lu Yunchen and his elder brother.

"I earned more than 30 yuan, and gave half to my eldest brother. I had no choice. The road was unsafe, and I had to rely on my eldest brother to intimidate me when selling goods. In the end, it was still too risky..."

"That's true. Although it's money, it's hard-earned money. And I'm also scared... Oh, it's not easy."

In his early years, Zhang Wenbi had seen many people being arrested and paraded through the streets under various pretexts. Now that Huang Xinran was selling clothes, he tried several times to persuade her to do so, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to speak.

Lu Yunqian pricked up her ears to listen, but unfortunately, Huang Xinran and Zhang Wenbi spoke very quietly and she could not hear them.

But Huang Xinran brought back a lot less goods, she could see that. It was not difficult to guess that Huang Xinran made a lot of money on this trip.

For a moment, she felt jealous and sad.

She forced a smile and clung to Huang Xinran's arm, "Fourth sister-in-law, take me with you next time you go! I'm your sister, we're one family, so we shouldn't let outsiders take away the good things!"

"Don't talk nonsense! Go away..."

Without waiting for Huang Xinran to say anything, Zhang Wenbi angrily drove his daughter away: "How can you think you are one of us? How can one of us go against our fourth sister-in-law all day long? Go back to your room! Hurry up..."

It's not Zhang Wenbi's fault for chasing people away. One reason is that Lu Yunqian is always out of tune. She is afraid of her little daughter. Another reason is Lu Tianlei's identity. After all, he is a secretary. How could he let his daughter do such a thing? If she was caught, she would have trouble explaining herself.

In fact, she didn't take any advantage of Huang Xinran selling things, but because she was the mother-in-law, she couldn't say much.

I hesitated and didn't speak.

Lu Yunqian was not happy when she heard this: "Mom, you are siding with her again! Don't you see how much money she has made..."

"What did I earn from you?"

Huang Xinran was fed up with her sister-in-law, who would often contradict her: "Lu Yunqian, don't take advantage of your boss's position and overturn his table. Don't forget, I pay you fifty cents for each piece of clothing, which is not a small amount. If you think it's too much, I can always replace you! I don't believe that I can't find a tailor who can sew buttons with the money!"

Lu Yunqian: "You, you..."

"What are you talking about?"

Huang Xinran slapped her hand away and said, "Find your place and do what you should do. This time, for the sake of my parents, I won't say anything. If there's a next time, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After saying that, she pushed Lu Yunqian away and went back to her room to rest.

She got up too early in the morning in order to catch up on time, and now she is very sleepy and it is just right for her to take a nap.
