Wang Xiangxiu stared at Hu Huihui, feeling like she was about to scratch her. She was like the Bull Demon King, snorting and suddenly bursting out: "Hu Huihui, get out of here! I knew you were not a good person. You actually instigated my son to do such despicable things. Are you still a human being?"
Hu Huihui was scolded harshly in an instant.
Although Hu Huihui was scolded, she was not angry. She was quite calm. She sat there without moving and said calmly, "Cousin, I am doing this for your family's good. Your young man has no job and is just living off his savings? It may sound rude now, but if you don't tell anyone, who would know? Even if someone knew, no one would give you money to spend when you are in trouble."
Wang Xiangxiu: “You…”
She grabbed Hu Huihui, and Su Jinlai hurried forward to separate them, saying, "What are you doing, Mom? Why are you so fierce? What my aunt said is not wrong."
Wang Xiang trembled delicately: "She asked you to do that job, and you actually said it was right?"
Su Jinlai felt a little uncomfortable, but still said, "Why is that enough? Actually, it's not. It's just once and a half."
After doing this the first time, the second time will be easy.
The first time, Su Jinlai had to think about it, but the second time was quite satisfying.
With shining eyes, he looked at Hu Huihui and asked, "Aunt, how much money can you give me this time?"
Hu Huihui made a “five” gesture.
Su Jinlai's eyes were a little dim, and Hu Huihui said, "Although this time it's only half of the last time, but there's only one person. You stay with her for a week."
When Su Jinlai heard about one person, he felt visibly relieved. The last time there were three people, three people, three foreign old women who were as fierce as wolves and tigers. He had never seen anyone so brave. They almost wanted to eat him.
Poor him, he had nowhere to escape and could only be slaughtered. Thinking about it now, he feels endless pain.
When he came back, he told himself that he would never fight for the money again. It was too damn difficult. He would rather die than be a gigolo!
But, but... It's only been a few days, and he has forgotten the pain and feels that money is the best thing. He was shaken at this moment. Besides, this person is actually relaxed.
How could Hu Huihui not see what Su Jinlai meant? She said, "Jinlai, if we weren't ordinary people, I wouldn't come to you. Although this time this person is a foreigner, she is actually a Chinese who came back to visit her relatives. She was also shopping in Xidan today and heard of your name, so she wanted to meet you. If it were an ordinary person, there is no way she would give you 500 yuan. Do you understand? This is the high price brought by your fame!"
Su Jinlai was stunned.
Wang Xiang was so beautiful that she almost fainted.
Yinlai and Tonglai hid in the inner room, leaning against the door to eavesdrop. At this moment, they couldn't help but stick their heads out... Wang Xiangxiu shouted, "Get out of here!"
The two of them immediately shrank back.
Hu Huihui didn't care about this. No matter if it was Jinlai, Yinlai or Bronzelai, they were all worth a look to her. None of them was more special. But now that Jinlai was famous and could make her money, she was happy to come over and get to know him.
"That lady heard about your reputation and wanted to meet you. Don't worry, you can go there and serve her during this period of time and live with her in the hotel. She will take care of everything for you."
Hu Huihui said earnestly: "This is a good way to make money."
Su Jinlai: "Okay."
Wang Xiangxiu: "You bastard!"
She slapped her son in the face. Su Jinlai was beaten and said impatiently, "Mom, that's enough. You can't give me 500 yuan. What's wrong with me making some money? Besides, I'm young and healthy. What's wrong with making money from this? People come here because of my reputation. It's not good to let them go home disappointed."
“You you you!”
Wang Xiangxiu looked at her eldest son and knew that this unfortunate boy had really grown up crooked. No matter what she said, it would be useless. She took a deep breath and said, "It's up to you."
Su Jinlai: "Aunt, look..."
Hu Huihui: "I'll pick you up tomorrow."
She smiled and said, "Actually, think about it, you are promoting communication with foreign guests and increasing harmony between people. What's wrong with that? And if you think about it carefully, you are also working. Your job is to accompany foreign guests, so you can be considered a tour guide."
Is there any other explanation for this? Su Jinlai's eyes lit up and he said, "What you said makes a lot of sense."
Hu Huihui smiled faintly and said, "Okay, since you agree, I'll leave first."
Wang Xiangxiu: "Take these things away with you. Our family doesn't want them."
Although she said so, Hu Huihui did not accept it. Instead, she smiled and said, "Cousin, you should accept it. It will also help the child to replenish his body."
She said softly, "The child is grown up, and he is no longer under the control of his mother. Don't think too much. Let the child go out on his own and save some money. It's always better to make money when you are young than to work hard when you are old, don't you think?"
"roll!"
Wang Xiangxiu didn't want to hear what she said anymore.
Hu Huihui was not angry. As long as it was about making money, she would not be embarrassed. She said, "Goodbye, cousin."
Wang Xiangxiu gritted her teeth and said, "I never want to see you again."
No matter how bad this son is, he is still her own son. She cannot blame her son. She can only blame Hu Huihui for luring her son into this evil situation.
Hu Huihui said sincerely: "I swear, I didn't take a penny from this, otherwise I will be struck by lightning. I just want your family to make some money. Besides, I don't think there is anything wrong with men doing this. If your family had a girl, I would never come to you."
The following words are subject to different opinions.
Wang Xiangxiu didn't care what she said and pointed at the door: "Get out!"
Hu Huihui shrugged and said, "Think about it yourself. I don't have bad intentions."
She left quickly, while calculating how much she could earn this time. Of course, she was not referring to the order from Su Jinlai. This was a benefit she gave to Su Jinlai in order to please him. In fact, the 500 yuan was paid by Hu Huihui.
The reason why she did this was that she hoped to get the TV goods from the rich sister. These were shipped from the port city. As long as she could serve the woman well, she could make a lot of money by reselling this batch of goods.
She usually deals in fake antiques, but it's hard to say how much she can earn from it because there are always those stingy foreigners.
But this TV is a good thing.
She left the alley quickly with a smile on her face.
Hu Huihui came and went in a hurry, but the Su family was in a state of depression, and Wang Xiangxiu was too hungry to eat.
Her family originally thought that she was so angry about Su Jinlai's incident that she didn't want to eat. It was only after Tonglai persuaded her that she was ready to eat something, and then... then Hu Huihui came. Although Hu Huihui seemed to have good intentions, Wang Xiangxiu really didn't dare to believe Hu Huihui.
Besides, even if Hu Huihui had good intentions, it was not a decent thing for an old man to do this. As a mother, she didn't care whether it was embarrassing or not, the main thing was that it was harmful to her health.
Wang Xiangxiu was extremely worried and said, "What should I do from now on?"
Su Jinlai was quite indifferent. He said, "Mom, you are just overthinking. My aunt even asked my uncle-in-law to do this, and she didn't care. What's the big deal?"
"What the hell!!!" Wang Xiangxiu was shocked, but soon, she shook her head firmly: "Even if your aunt is happy, the rich woman won't be happy."
Su Jinlai: "Hey, don't disbelieve it, this is what my aunt said herself."
Wang Xiangxiu shook her head: "Impossible, can you use your brain? Her husband is already over 50 years old. What does this rich woman want? Is it because of his age or his poor health? Impossible!"
Su Jinlai stiffened his neck and said, "Last time, my aunt said that my uncle-in-law also went to entertain guests."
Tonglai looked at his elder brother, doubting how they could be brothers. His elder brother was not very smart, and he said worriedly: "Her hospitality is purely hospitality, not what you think."
He looked at his eldest brother with worry, thinking that his eldest brother was probably a little crazy. He said, "Mom is right. She is over fifty years old. Is that rich woman crazy? Aren't young guys more attractive? Look at you. You still have a reputation as a big bird. What does her man have?"
Su Jinlai: "..."
Tonglai: "Mom, don't be angry. Just let Big Brother do whatever he wants. It's better than hanging out with those street thugs. You can't get in to serve a rich woman to sleep. Otherwise, it would be all over if you got in."
This statement is very meaningful.
Wang Xiangxiu: “???”
Tong Lai: "I just went to the yard and heard from others that the gang that stole steel from the machinery factory was caught. If you get involved with this kind of people, you're doomed, right?"
Su Jinlai suddenly felt unnatural.
Tonglai kept staring at Su Jinlai while he was talking. Seeing that he was nervous, he said, "Did you participate? If you did, you should know the result."
Su Jinlai was instantly scared. Although he was arrogant, he didn't want to go to jail at all. He had been in a juvenile detention center for several years and was not used to such a place. He heard that prison was even more terrifying.
The eldest brother of all his friends in the juvenile detention center was hiding behind a fence, and it was said that he should be careful of the naughty swallows.
He is a man who can fight with a woman for three days, but he will never fight with a man. He frantically defended himself: "I, I, I, I am not involved. I just helped to keep watch twice, but they still used me as a cover and only gave me ten dollars for the two times."
I get angry when this matter is mentioned.
He said: "Although I bragged that I was involved, I was not actually involved."
Tong Lai: "Why do I use you as a cover?"
He pressed the question.
Jin Lai: "They don't trust me at all. They gave me fake news and tried to scare me."
This makes me particularly angry when I think about it.
Su Jinlai felt that he had to explain clearly: "Although I steal things, I don't dare to steal large amounts of money. My petty thefts are only a few dollars or a chicken. You all know this."
In fact, he tried many times to join them, but they thought he was a coward and were not willing to take him to play.
Tonglai nodded: "It's good that I'm not completely involved."
His eyes flickered and he said, "Then tell me, what is the name of the person you contacted?"
Su Jinlai: "His name is Monkey. He actually wants to work alone, but neither of us can do that. The leader of Monkey is a steel thief. His name is Black Brother."
I don’t know if he was arrested today, but…
Tonglai let out a long "oh" and suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Then you'll be gone for a week tomorrow, what about the two older sisters in the backyard?"
Su Jinlai: "..."
He said, "I'll go and tell them."
He went out and went to the backyard.
Wang Xiangxiu really frightened them and asked, "Tonglai, is everything okay?"
Tonglai: "It's OK as long as Big Brother didn't lie. It's OK as long as he didn't actually participate. Judging from his expression, he must be true. Indeed, if I were to form a criminal gang, I wouldn't bring him with me. What a fool."
Wang Xiangxiu: “…”
Tonglai lowered his eyes slightly, then continued: "However, in order to prevent Big Brother from falling into this kind of situation due to lack of money in the future, and also for the sake of justice, I decided to report Heige and his gang. If they are the ones arrested today, it's nothing. But if it's not them, isn't it another gang that has been destroyed?"
Wang Xiangxiu: “…”
Tonglai: "They are all in jail now. If Big Brother wants to do something shady in the future, he will have no one to help him. With his personality, he can't make any friends. Monkey and the others were all people he met in the juvenile detention center. They are all in jail now. Big Brother doesn't even have a helper around him. Isn't that good?"
He said earnestly, "Let him get involved with those lesbians. As long as he doesn't get caught messing around, it'll be fine. It's better than him stealing things."
Wang Xiangxiu: "What you said does make sense."
Yin Lai: “???”
"I will report it to Brother Hei."
Wang Xiangxiu was a little worried: "Will someone retaliate?"
Tonglai: "It's okay, Aunt Ming must know who is more trustworthy and tight-lipped. Let's talk about it."
He paused and said, "We have caught one gang now. If another gang comes, they will just think it's a dog-eat-dog fight. They don't expect anyone to report it."
Wang Xiangxiu: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
In the middle of the night, Tong Lailai knocked on the door. Zhuang Zhixi said, "This stinky boy."
He got up and opened the door, saying, "I'm getting ready for bed, what are you doing?"
Tong Lai: "Uncle Xiaozhuang, I'm sorry to bother you. I came here to ask a question..."
He was talking, and Mingmei heard it and said, "I'll take you there tomorrow."
Tonglai nodded: "Thank you, auntie."
Mingmei: "You're welcome."
Tonglai did not delay others' rest, but Mingmei rubbed her temple and said, "Tomorrow I will face another bombardment."
Zhuang Zhixi: "If you like, just go over there."
He said: "Before, the children were young and you were worried about them. Now they are older. If you like, you can go."
Mingmei hesitated for a moment and told the truth: "I like it very much, but I'm also afraid that I can't do it well. You know, this is not a small matter. I'm afraid that I'm not suitable for this at all, and I'm impulsive. What if I make a mistake? This is not a small matter."
She scratched her hair and said, "If you ask me to teach them Kung Fu, I'd be happy to do so, because this is what I'm good at and I'm confident. But if you ask me to solve a case, look at me, I'm just an ordinary person who hasn't learned anything. If I can't do it and make a mistake, that's what's hurting people. No, no."
Mingmei just lay down on the bed and said, "I won't force myself anymore. I can't do it."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Then think about it again."
He smiled and said, "I'll go with you guys tomorrow?"
Mingmei: “No need for this.”
It's just that I was pulled over and recited it, it's nothing.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay, go to sleep."
Mingmei smiled faintly and said, "You want to grow Clivia?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Yes, I want to stock up a little while the market is not hot here, and I will make money if I can sell it at a good price."
But he also said honestly: "If we lose money, we'll just consider it as a good deal. Don't blame me, okay?"
Mingmei looked deeply at Zhuang Zhixi, and Zhuang Zhixi winked at Mingmei. Mingmei burst out laughing and said, "Okay."
"Are you really not afraid that I will lose money?"
Mingmei: "Don't be afraid, at worst you can make more money, I believe in you. And I've calculated it, hehe, this time the sale will be 50-50 with mom, we can get 10,000 yuan, you won't spend it all."
Zhuang Zhixi: “That’s true.”
Mingmei: "Okay, go to bed early."
Zhuang Zhixi approached his wife and gently embraced her...
As expected, Zhao Guihua and Mingmei, the mother-in-law, sold out all the bell-bottom pants on the fourth day. After closing the stall, they went home to settle the accounts and returned the capital to Zhao Guihua, giving each of them 10,500 yuan.
Mingmei never thought that she could become a millionaire. Her breathing became heavier when she looked at the money.
Zhao Guihua was very calm, Mingmei admired her so much that she sighed, "Mom, you being so calm makes me look so useless."
Zhao Guihua rolled her eyes at her and said, "You're useless to begin with, and you're so happy with just 10,000 yuan."
Mingmei chuckled.
Zhao Guihua: "Keep the money safe and put it in the bank if you don't need it."
Mingmei nodded again. Other things didn't matter, but she had to listen to her mother-in-law on this matter. This was a big deal.
She asked seriously, "Mom, now that we have money, what do you think we should do? You are older and more experienced, so please give us some pointers."
Zhao Guihua: "In the long run, it is better to buy a house. If you don't know how to do anything, it is definitely the safest choice to buy a house. Just think of it as saving money. You may not get much bonus now, and you may not make a lot of money, but in the long run, you will not lose out. If you are good at business, you can do business. Nowadays, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely make money."
Mingmei was very decisive: "I can't really endure hardship."
She has never suffered from hardship since she was a child, so even if it is for making money, she can't do it.
Zhao Guihua: “I can see that.”
Mingmei smiled charmingly.
Zhao Guihua: "Why don't you come with me? I plan to go to Guangzhou to purchase some goods."
Mingmei: "Pfft!"
As soon as he took a sip of tea, it sprayed out.
Brother Zhixi guessed it right.
Brother Zhixi was worried that the old lady would become addicted to it and would continue to set up a stall. It is true that no one knows a mother better than her son.
He also knows his mother very well.
Mingmei: “You…”
She asked cautiously, "Do Big Brother and Brother Zhixi know that you are going to Guangzhou?"
Zhao Guihua rolled her eyes, glared at her daughter-in-law and said, "Am I the mother or are they the mother? Isn't this something I decide myself?"
Mingmei: "..."
Zhao Guihua: "Do I need to discuss this with them? I can decide on my own. If you trust me, just invest your money in me. I guarantee that you will make money, old lady."
Although I am an old lady with no education, I have experience and I can seize this opportunity.
Mingmei: "I trust you, but you are going out of town, which makes me worried." Noticing the old lady's gaze, she said: "Don't stare at me, I didn't say you shouldn't go, but this is really worrying."
“There’s so much worry there.”
Mingmei: "Yes, there are. First of all, you may not be able to bear the fatigue of the long train journey. Besides, there are things to do after you get there. What if you are cheated when purchasing goods? What if they take advantage of your age and try to cheat you?"
Mingmei tried hard to persuade Zhao Guihua, but it was obvious that Zhao Guihua didn't think so and said, "Leave me alone."
The willful old lady would never admit defeat. She said, "I'll go buy some groceries so we can have something nice to eat tonight."
The money earned must be spent. Zhao Guihua didn't want to listen to her daughter-in-law's nagging. She said, "After all this, how can I not be sensible? How can you young people still be so silent? By the way, what do you like to eat?"
Mingmei: “Ah?”
She was stunned for a moment, then said, "I like to eat everything."
Zhao Guihua: "I really don't have any ambitions. I'll buy some pig's trotters tonight. I remember there's a braised pig's trotters shop near Chaoyangmen Vegetable Market. Oh my god, the taste is amazing."
Mingmei swallowed.
Zhao Guihua: "I'll buy some more seafood. That's it. I'm leaving now."
The old lady left gracefully.
As for how not to divide the money in front of the whole family, Zhao Guihua felt that this was completely unnecessary! Since the old man was too timid to participate, Zhao Guihua would not tell them about these things, so as to avoid being jealous when they saw it.
As for Zhuang Laonian and Zhuang Zhixi, all they had to do was follow orders.
Zhao Guihua went out happily, deciding to buy some good food for a family dinner. She went out humming a little tune, and as soon as she came out, she saw Su Jinlai getting into a taxi, and Hu Huihui was in the car.
Zhao Guihua shook her head slightly and muttered, "This is a new deal."
The last time this guy came back, his legs were shaking, as if he was going to go over, but I didn't expect him to not stop and start again. He really wants money over life. She strolled out and hummed a little tune.
Now that I think about it, there was a high probability that Hu Huihui had bad intentions when she moved in.
She was after the things that Yu Baoshan had hidden. Fortunately, she was not an impulsive person and was not caught. If they were caught, their family would be doomed. Zhao Guihua hummed a little tune while buying vegetables. Who would have thought that in this day and age, she could earn 20,000 yuan in just four days, and she would get more than 10,000 yuan. It was faster than robbing a bank.
She had always heard about the term "feng kou" before, but she didn't really understand it. Now she understands what a feng kou is. This is the feng kou! This is the feng kou that can make even a pig take off.
Well, she certainly didn't mean she was a pig, but that's the idea.
Zhao Guihua bought pig's trotters, and then some shrimps and crabs. She also bought some osmanthus cakes from a vendor. She could say that life was better now than before. In the past, if she wanted to buy something, she couldn't buy it without a ticket, but now she can always buy what she wants.
It's definitely more expensive than the ones that require tickets, but it's worth it.
She came back with a lot of bags and was seen by several aunties as soon as she entered the yard. Auntie Zhou looked at the things in her hands in surprise and said, "What are you..."
Zhao Guihua held her head high and said, "The bell-bottom pants are sold out. I want to celebrate."
Aunt Zhou's eyes fell on the large and small bags of good things. She couldn't help but step forward to Zhao Guihua and said, "Old Zhao, tell me, did you make a lot of money this time?"
Zhao Guihua smiled and said nothing.
Aunt Zhou's heart was like being scratched by a cat. She was extremely anxious and wanted to know what it was like to treat the enemy. She continued to ask: "What other secrets do we have? Just tell me. Do you have a few hundred dollars?"
Zhao Guihua glanced at Aunt Zhou and said, "Then our relationship is quite ordinary. You have been hiding a lot of things from me. Some are secrets, so don't talk about them so enthusiastically. But I can also tell you, a few hundred yuan? Haha!"
She said meaningfully: "A few hundred dollars is worth it for me, Zhao Guihua, to take action? Do you think I am such a worthless person?"
"How much is it?"
Zhao Guihua smiled: "You want to know?"
Aunt Zhou nodded: "I want to know."
Zhao Guihua said meaningfully: "Even though you want to know, I won't tell you!"
Aunt Zhou: “…”
What kind of person is this?
Zhao Guihua flashed through the crowd and went home proudly. Aunt Zhou said, "Look at her, look at how arrogant she is. If you don't know her, you would think she has made a fortune."
Aunt Wang: "You ask too many questions."
Aunt Zhou said unhappily, "I just want to know, don't I?"
After a pause, she said with a bit of yearning, "Is this thing so profitable?"
"Who knows? I've never run a stall before."
Although Aunt Wang said this, her eyes showed a bit of eagerness to try. At their age, they are not afraid of anything, and the policy has changed for a few years. Everyone can see that it is getting better and better now, so if that's the case, what are you afraid of trying? Aunt Wang thought about it, withdrew from the crowd, and quietly came to Zhao Guihua's side. She was fighting with the crabs. Zhao Guihua looked up and said, "Why are you here?"
Aunt Wang: "Guihua, do you think I can do business?"
Zhao Guihua: "Why can't you do it? I can do it, but you can't? How are you worse than me? We are both old ladies."
After hearing this, Aunt Wang nodded quickly. She thought she was no worse than others. She was also at the top in terms of hard work and dedication. She hesitated for a moment, sat down and said, "Can you give me some advice?"
Zhao Guihua: "Will your old man agree?"
Aunt Wang sneered: "I am the master of my family. How can he control me?"
She was very firm: "Don't even think about it." Zhao Guihua: "This is amazing. Actually, I don't know how to give you advice, but I think it depends on how much capital you have. If you have all the capital, you can deal in clothing. If you have less capital, you can deal in small items, such as pants and socks. Of course, you will definitely not make as much money from small items as from large items, but these things are not without benefits. You can keep selling them. You will definitely not lose money."
Aunt Wang: "How much is the cost? If I were to trade in small items, how much would the cost be?"
Zhao Guihua: "I can't say for sure, but the more you buy, the better. You have to know that the more you buy, the lower the price. How can they give you a good price if you buy just a little? Besides, the clothing factories here are not private. If you really go to the south, the round-trip fare and accommodation will be charged. You are an old lady, will your family let you go out?"
What Zhao Guihua said was all true. After all, he was her old partner and she would not cheat on him. She basically said what she thought.
She also hopes that Aunt Wang lives a good life, but how can she not talk about these things?
Aunt Wang: "Ah? So far?"
Zhao Guihua rolled her eyes: "You don't want to go far, will the garment factory care about you?"
Aunt Wang: “…”
That's true.
Zhao Guihua vaguely remembered that if in two years some large wholesale market was established here, some small retail traders would go there to purchase goods, thus saving the travel expenses. However, there is definitely no such market now.
She said: "I am planning to go to Guangzhou or Shenzhen in two days. I prefer the latter. If you want to go, we can go together and keep each other company. Of course, it's okay if you don't go."
She added: "My two kids don't want me to go out, but as a mother, I won't listen to them. Anyway, I think this way, if I don't make money when I can, I will be completely out of money in two years. When I'm old, will I still be able to travel far? So now I just plan to do what I want to do."
She was indeed moved.
"I want to join in, too."
Aunt Zhou rushed out. She had no idea how long she had been eavesdropping at the door.
Zhao Guihua rolled her eyes: "Why are you acting like a rat?"
Aunt Zhou grabbed Zhao Guihua's hand and said, "I want to go with you, too. You can't go without me on this money-making business."
Zhao Guihua: "How can you make money? It depends on the individual. Maybe you will lose money. Doing business depends on your ability."
Aunt Zhou thought to herself, I'm quite capable, you guys can't look down on me like that.
She was very determined: "I want to go too. You said I don't have a pension and I don't have much money. I'm worried. This old man is old, and if he doesn't save some money, how can he feel at ease? It's just a business. I can talk nicely and I can understand it. You can take me with you. The three of us can go together. We can also rely on each other."
"Do you have the money?"
Zhao Guihua was curious.
Aunt Zhou: "I plan to borrow some from Jiang Lu. I think she will lend it to me."
Although she used to be mean to her daughter-in-law, they have been getting along well for the past ten years, so she thinks there should be no problem. She said, "I will make some money and leave it to my eldest grandson."
Zhao Guihua: "If you want to go, you can, but if we all go, it's best not to do the same business. In fact, the Sijiucheng market is so big, it's okay to do the same thing, but I think that since we all live in the same yard, it's best not to do this for the sake of everyone's harmony."
"Old Zhao, what are you doing?"
Zhao Guihua: "I have a lot of capital, I want to buy old man's clothes."
Actually, she wanted to buy jeans, but she had just sold trousers in the previous batch. Bell-bottoms and jeans were considered to be relatively alternative trousers, and there were so many wool that could be fleeced, it would not make them bald.
She said, "I'm going to order a batch of them myself with patterns."
“Isn’t this expensive?”
Zhao Guihua: "That's for sure."
"So what else do you think is low-cost, besides pants and socks?"
Zhao Guihua thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there are some. For example, school bags, pencils and notebooks, etc. If we sell them at the school gate, they won't be bad, right?"
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhou looked at each other. Aunt Wang asked: "What do you think?"
"I choose stationery."
"Then I'll just wear pants and socks."
Zhao Guihua really didn't expect that these two old ladies would work with them, but this situation didn't last long. After a while, He Lan also came over. She looked at Zhao Guihua hesitantly and said, "Aunt Zhao, can I join?"
Zhao Guihua: “???”
He Lan said seriously: "My family works hard to ride a tricycle after get off work, just for this family, so I also want to work harder."
Who doesn't want to live a good life?
Zhao Guihua: "You want to go?"
He Lan: “Yeah.”
Zhao Guihua laughed: "Are you happy to follow us old ladies?"
He Lan: "Why not? I am lucky to be able to follow you. Others don't have such an opportunity. Besides, you are all well-informed. I will definitely not suffer any loss if I follow you."
"You do have some knowledge."
He Lan: “Hehe.”
Soon, the group of three old ladies became a group of four.
In the evening, Wang Zizhen came running over in a hurry. She went straight to the banker's house and panted: "Aunt Zhao, you must take me with you."
Zhao Guihua: “???”
Wang Zizhen: "I want to go to the south with you."
Zhao Guihua was stunned: "Aren't you at work?"
Wang Zizhen took a deep breath and said, "I have decided to quit my job."
This is really a bold move. Although she is a temporary worker, there are too many people without jobs in the city now, and there are so many people competing for a temporary job, so if Wang Zizhen dares to quit her job, it is really amazing.
Zhao Guihua: "You..."
It turned out that after Aunt Zhou and Zhao Guihua settled the matter, they quickly started to make plans. She didn't want to invite Wang Zizhen to join them. In the eyes of the older generation, this was a serious job and they would naturally not get involved.
Aunt Zhou wanted to borrow money from her goddaughter Wang Zizhen. She remembered what Zhao Guihua said and knew that more capital would allow her to buy more goods and lower the price, so she asked Wang Zizhen for money. After all, even if Jiang Lu could borrow money, the more the better.
But Wang Zizhen hesitated for a moment and then asked seriously if she could join.
To be honest, Aunt Zhou was a little surprised, but she quickly said, "You have to ask Zhao Guihua about this, but don't you have a job?"
Wang Zizhen nodded: "A little bit, but I don't want to do it anymore."
She really had to tell Aunt Zhou about her situation. She worked as a temporary worker in a garment factory, which was incomparable to regular workers. She had no other benefits except salary. Moreover, there were opportunities to earn extra money by working overtime and to process fabrics internally, which they were not eligible to participate in.
Moreover, because there are many female comrades in the garment factory, there are many family matters, and her relaxed family environment and considerate husband are somewhat envied and jealous. In addition, their squad leader wants to squeeze her out and replace her with his niece, so there will be some exclusion, which is not obvious, but there is some exclusion.
Wang Zizhen is not a weak girl. She will naturally fight back if anything happens. Although she will not suffer any loss, she will not feel comfortable doing it.
Originally, with three children in her family, the burden was heavy, and she would not easily resign. Even if she felt a little wronged, she would fight back and continue to work. But the money from selling popcorn that day was equal to her monthly salary. Wang Zizhen's mind was a little wavering, but she didn't want to quit.
But just now, when Aunt Zhou and the others were planning to go to the south, she suddenly thought, why not follow them? She has been following the aunts for so many years and has such a good life now. Otherwise, she would still be in the poor mountain valley, and who knows what kind of person her parents would marry her to, living a life of hunger and cold.
So she firmly believes in following the right path.
It doesn’t matter if you are stupid, you can follow smart people.
So Wang Zizhen made up his mind almost instantly and went straight to find Zhao Guihua.
She said, "Aunt Zhao, I want to join you. You can take me with you. I'm doing the schoolbag and stationery business with my godmother. Look at me, I'm still quite young. If I join you, I can also help you."
Zhao Guihua laughed and said, "Okay, as long as you think it through and don't regret it, I won't say anything more."
Wang Zizhen nodded vigorously.
She said: "I don't regret it, every time, I don't regret it."
Zhao Guihua: "If you move a tree, it will die. Maybe your decision is the right one."
Wang Zizhen took a deep breath and said, "I will resign tomorrow."
This is also an impatient person.
Zhao Guihua: "You decide for yourself."
She smiled and said, "Shall we eat together here tonight?"
Wang Zizhen shook her head: "No, I'll go first."
She ran back quickly.
It's really in a rush.
This person is not proactive in making money and has a problem with his thinking.
Mingmei really didn't expect that after she took the time to go to the Public Security Bureau in the afternoon, her mother-in-law had already gathered all the staff when she came back.
This...when they divided the money in the afternoon, her mother-in-law was still alone.
This is like the heroes of Liangshan. He can trick several people into going up the mountain in a short time.
Her mother-in-law is really capable.
If this is brought up, Zhao Guihua would protest for herself, because it was clearly these people who took the initiative to look for her.
Mingmei was confused, and so were the other people in the banker's office.
Zhuang Zhiyuan was out driving. Liang Meifen heard from get off work that her mother-in-law had gathered people to go to Guangzhou. She fell into endless contemplation. Are the old ladies nowadays so powerful? No wonder she has never been a match for her mother-in-law.
Zhuang Zhixi looked at Zhuang Laonian for help: "Dad..."
Zhuang Laonian didn't stand on the same front with his son at all. He said, "I agree with your mother going."
He agrees with all the decisions made by his wife.
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
Obviously we had a very good meal today, with delicious food, but it’s still hard to describe.
Just when everyone was at a loss for words, Mingmei silently raised her hand and said, "I have something to say, too."
Everyone turned to look at her again.
Mingmei swallowed and said, "I...I want to change jobs."
"What?"
Everyone looked at Mingmei in surprise and disbelief. Mingmei's eyes were bright and she said softly, "I decided today."
Zhuang Zhixi was the first to react and asked, "You want to be a policeman?"
Mingmei shook her head, then nodded, then shook her head again, repeating this several times before saying, "Yes, and no, I promised Deputy Director Wang that I would go to the Public Security University to teach combat."
"What?"
Mingmei sighed and said, "I was also fooled by this old man."
Zhuang family: “…”
She said: "But I thought, I'm not good at solving cases, but I'm good at this, so I agreed to it."
Liang Meifen asked from the depths of her soul, "Can the people at this passenger bus station be transferred to the Public Security University?"
Mingmei scratched her head: "Actually, I don't know if it's normal, but Deputy Director Wang said he communicated with the Public Security University, and I am a specially recruited professional talent."
"Is that official?"
Mingmei nodded: "Yes."
Liang Meifen took a deep breath. This public security comrade was very optimistic about Mingmei.
Has this been solved for her?
Zhao Guihua: "The police and the school are two different units. Can they both help?"
Mingmei: "Yes, I don't know how they communicate. But Wang Gongan said it's OK."
Zhao Guihua: “…”
In the previous life, Wang Gongan also wanted to persuade Mingmei to change jobs all day long. But Mingmei never said so. But in this life, there are many more opportunities to deal with him than in the previous life, mainly because there are too many trivial matters, really too many. Wang Gongan was promoted all the way up, and he valued Mingmei more. Whenever he met her, he would brainwash her for an hour. I think it really affected Mingmei. After a while, Mingmei was really tempted.
It seems that Wang Gongan was poaching people in his previous life, or he didn't wield the hoe well enough.
Isn't this a good thing to do in this life? Mingmei also talked about what happened today.
This afternoon, after she and Zhao Guihua divided the money, they went to the school to find Tonglai. Tonglai didn't want to get himself involved, so he wanted to find someone who was tight-lipped to tell the truth. So Mingmei took him directly to the Municipal Bureau to find Deputy Director Wang.
Look, Mingmei has been "caught" by Deputy Director Wang again. The brainwashing is really unrelenting.
Mingmei has known Deputy Director Wang for many years, ever since she first caught a thief on a bus, which is more than ten years. She was very honest, not because she didn't want to do it, but because she was afraid that her wrong judgment would cause some bad consequences.
If she were a newly recruited police officer, she would not have such concerns.
But because she has caught many bad guys, everyone has expectations of her, and some people blindly recognize and trust her, so once a wrong case is caused by blind trust, it will be a big deal. After all, Mingmei knows that she is just a fighter, a half-baked person, and has not really studied criminal investigation and has no ability.
Most of the men she met were brainless ruffians, which was a perfect match for a young wife like her with strong limbs, so she could defeat them every time.
Mingmei also knew what Wang Gongan was thinking. He kept persuading her, so she simply said that she was willing to come and teach them skills, but she would not come to work. Unexpectedly, she never expected that Wang Gongan would catch her right after she said this. He asked her directly if she wanted to be a teacher.
Mingmei was confused at that time, even more confused than the Zhuang family now.
Wang Gongan's idea was a good one. Since Mingmei had never studied criminal investigation and was impulsive and unsure whether she was suitable for being a police officer, she could definitely be a teacher. They had actually investigated Mingmei's identity. She learned martial arts in a legitimate way. Her master was also from a more orthodox faction in China. Her uncle was her master, so it was a family tradition.
She is not a fancy teacher, she really has something. Since she is willing to teach now, it doesn't matter if she teaches one person or a group of people. It would be better to give full play to her potential and let her teach more people.
Deputy Director Wang immediately thought of the People's Public Security University.
Although Mingmei's high school graduation is not considered a high level of education, it is actually quite good because of the times. Some teachers of investigation courses are not college graduates. In this day and age, those with ability can be reused.
Besides, if Mingmei became a teacher at the Public Security University, then it would be more legitimate for them to ask Mingmei for help.
Speaking of which, although it is not allowed to promote feudal superstitions now, Deputy Director Wang feels that there is some kind of metaphysics in their family. Criminals, no matter how big or small the mistakes they make, are always easy to fall into their hands, which is also very strange.
The more Deputy Director Wang thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was a good one, so he decisively persuaded Mingmei.
It's like, "You see, teaching a few people is the same as teaching a group of people, so why teach more? If they learn a little more, and really encounter a vicious criminal, their chances of success will be better? Maybe it can save lives."
And what else: "You see, your current job is easy, but it doesn't reflect your value. You hate evil so much that you definitely don't want to be mediocre for the rest of your life. You definitely want to catch more bad guys. Even if you don't catch them yourself, it's good for your students to catch them, right?"
And something like "I know you have young children at home, and you may not be able to take care of your family as a police officer. This is not suitable for you, but being a teacher is fine? It will not affect your commute to get off work, nor will it affect your childcare. And, you see, there are two holidays a year! How great is that!"
And and...
In short, Deputy Director Wang used his eloquence to actually convince Mingmei. Mingmei agreed to Deputy Director Wang in a daze and felt that what he said made sense.
She told everyone what happened today, and then said innocently to everyone, "I will be transferred to another job this month. After I am transferred there, I will adapt to the new job first, and then I will start classes next semester."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
Others: “…”
Mingmei said with watery eyes: "Brother Zhixi, will you blame me for making the decision without discussing it with you?"
Zhuang Zhixi shook his head: "No, it's your own job, of course you can decide, and I think it's good too."
Mingmei was not really that happy to work at the bus station. Besides, it would be suitable for her to be a teacher. As long as his wife was happy, it was better than anything else. He smiled and rubbed Mingmei's head, saying, "Do we need to say this as husband and wife? I know you. As long as you are willing, I, as your husband, will always stand behind you."
Mingmei: "I knew you were good."
Zhao Guihua: "You two should stop being so affectionate in front of me."
She said, "Okay, since Mingmei is going to be a teacher at the Public Security University, that's a good thing. It's just right, let's have this meal to celebrate."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Ah? Mom, you are too foolish, aren't you? Isn't this to celebrate our business making money?"
Zhao Guihua said confidently: "You should spend money to celebrate the profits from business. This is to celebrate Mingmei's job change."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay, okay, you are always right."
Everybody laughed.
Hu Tou looked at his young aunt with admiration in his eyes and said with a sigh: "It's so hard for me to get into university, but my young aunt is going to be a university teacher? How can there be such a big difference between people?"
Liang Meifen: "You should study hard."
Tiger Head: “…”
His parents couldn't get into college themselves, so they hoped their son could get in. They didn't think that if their parents couldn't get in, their son would definitely fail. Haven't you heard the saying? Each generation is worse than the previous one.
However, Hu Tou didn't dare to say this out loud. His parents usually didn't beat their children, but there was no guarantee that they would go crazy.
Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan sat aside, blinking their eyes. It took them a long time to react. They asked softly, "Mom is going to be a teacher in the future?"
Mingmei: “Yes.”
The two kids were grinning, which was definitely not a happy expression. Mingmei asked, “What?”
"fine!"
Mingmei poked the two little ones' cheeks and said flatteringly, "Mom, I will study hard."
Mingmei: "So good."
"I can do it, I can do it too." Tuantuan also rushed over. Although he was only eleven years old, he was a little kid in the eyes of his parents. A cute little kid. Mingmei hugged one of them with each hand. Zhao Guihua: "Okay, let's eat."
"good."
Today we had a sumptuous meal. At the table, Zhuang Laonian asked, "You want to go to the south. When do you want to leave?"
Zhao Guihua: "Maybe after Qingming Festival."
Zhuang Lao Ni nodded: "That's true, it's not easy to go out during the Qingming Festival."
Zhuang Zhixi whispered: "Mom and Dad, are we going to visit the graves today?"
In the early years, everyone avoided such things, fearing that they would be labeled as feudal and superstitious. Even burning paper was done secretly, and no one dared to visit graves. But in recent years, there has been a visible loosening of this attitude.
It gets looser every year.
So Zhuang Zhixi asked directly.
Zhao Guihua looked at Zhuang Laonian, who said, "Go. I haven't visited the grave formally for more than ten years. I'll go this year."
"Okay, I'll go with you. Brother probably won't be back in time for the Qingming Festival."
Zhuang Laonian: "Okay."
He looked at his son and admonished: "Prepare more."
Zhuang Zhixi: “I know.”
He said: "I guess not only our family, but other families can go as well."
This is how things work. If one person does it, others will naturally follow. The policy in recent years is not the same as before. Although it has not been relaxed, it has been loosened a lot. Everyone is actually waiting and watching. As long as someone does it, they will dare to do it.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Even though everyone might go, I will still be careful, don't worry."
"That's fine."
Zhao Guihua stared at the children with a deathly gaze and said, "Stop talking nonsense to me outside, okay?"
"I know."
Zhao Guihua: "It's good to know, otherwise I will beat you up."
Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan pouted their little mouths and just talked. What are they doing? Although they are small, they are not chatterboxes. They are already big kids.
They are big kids, very sensible big kids.
Life is really unbearable. My mom has to be a teacher and my grandma has to beat me. Sob, sob, sob.
Mingmei looked at the two children's grimace and laughed.
Yuanyuan acted coquettishly: "Mom, why are you still making fun of me?"
Mingmei: "Yeah, what's up."
Yuanyuan: “Ouch!”
Mingmei: "Pfft!"
Mingmei's family is celebrating, but Zheng Huimin and Guan Hong next to them are not in a good state. They are sworn enemies. If it weren't for Su Jinlai, they would never live here. But now that Su Jinlai and his family have rented this place, neither of them will leave.
Both of them had fallen out with their families and ran away. Where could they go? Besides, there was Brother Su here.
If I leave, this goblin will definitely act mean and do some tricks.
Guan Hong thought so.
Zheng Huimin thought so too.
Guan Hong sneaked home today and took out all her luggage. The same thing happened to Zheng Huimin. Both of them had more stuff than yesterday. But they were not very happy. Brother Su went out to work as a tour guide and would not be back for a week.
And they could only live with this disgusting woman in front of them, which was really disgusting. Not only that, in the evening, they were all eating steamed bread, and the people next door were having a big meal. They ate delicious food, but the two of them hated it so much that they felt that the food in their mouths was tasteless.
Zheng Huimin looked at the wall with resentment. She was looking at the farmer next door. This family was too selfish. Since they had such delicious food, how could they not share it with their neighbors? In her yard, whenever someone made something delicious, her younger brother would go over and ask for some. Sometimes she would also have a bite.
This is a good habit!
The people in this compound are selfish and have no sympathy for the weak. She is a girl who moved here from outside and is unfamiliar with the place. How difficult it is for her. They have no sympathy at all. In this situation, kind people should send a chicken to this family and a piece of meat to that family. White flour buns should also be sent! Not only did they not give them, they also laughed at them. They are really mean and selfish.
She pursed her lips, thinking that this was the right way.
Since Su Jinlai was not around, she naturally did not need to pretend to be weak in front of Guan Hong. She was biting the steamed bread with a bit of ferocity. Guan Hong turned her head and saw the woman's appearance. She immediately sneered and said, "You have revealed your true colors, right? I knew you were not a good person."
Zheng Huimin said, "I know you are jealous of Brother Su's kindness to me, but it's useless to target me. If you don't like me, just move away. Don't your parents disagree with you and Brother Su? You should listen to your parents."
It’s better for her to move out. She can live here alone.
But Guan Hong was not a good person either. He sneered and said, "Don't even think about it. Do you think I'm stupid? You want to monopolize the house and Brother Su? Don't even think about it. It's impossible."
Zheng Huimin also knew that it would not be so easy for Guan Hong to get rid of her, so she snorted.
Guan Hong looked at Zheng Huimin coldly and scolded, "I know you're pestering Brother Su for money. I'm telling you, as long as I'm here, you'll never succeed!"
As I was cursing, I suddenly smelled chicken soup. I instantly lost the mood to argue. The chicken soup smelled so good.
She muttered, "The food is really good. No wonder Big Brother Su has a grudge against the people in their courtyard. Look, they are eating and drinking lavishly even though it is not a festival. The family next door really thinks they are so great that they dare to look down on Big Brother Su. They are so proud of themselves, but they will lose money sooner or later."
She had a lot of complaints against the Zhuang family because the person who introduced her was Zhao Guihua from the Zhuang family, who scolded her and was very disgusted with her. This made Guan Hong very angry and she hated their family very much.
Zheng Huimin: "They look down on Brother Su?"
She frowned in dissatisfaction.
Guan Hong: "That's not true. Brother Su has complained to me several times."
She looked at Zheng Huimin proudly. She had known Brother Su earlier and knew more, but she, Zheng Huimin, could not compare.
Zheng Huimin saw her expression and clenched her fists.
Her eyes flickered for a moment, and she said slowly, "I will teach them a lesson for Brother Su."
She is not richer than Guan Hong, but she can do more for Brother Su. I believe that after Brother Su knows this, he will definitely know who is more sincere.
Guan Hong: "You want to teach them a lesson?"
"What's it to you?"
"So can I!"
Guan Hong raised her eyebrows, thinking that she couldn't let this woman get ahead at this time. She rolled her eyes and said, "During the Qingming Festival, I plan to pretend to be a ghost to scare them to death!"
She actually ate well in front of him and showed off. You're scared to death! She actually dared to look down on her dearest brother Su. You're scared to death!
