Chapter 134 I don’t know what they are plotting
Huang Ling and Li Yiming's orders became larger and larger, from a few items to dozens or even hundreds of items.
Shanghai boss Qin Yaohua developed products together with Huang Ling based on his original business, and he was responsible for sales, such as necessities such as sleeves, aprons, and four-piece suits.
Qin Yaohua engaged in both wholesale and retail, and even hired a group of temporary workers to wage guerrilla warfare, selling products along the streets in towns and villages.
Their products are of better quality and cheaper than those in state-owned stores, and they don’t require coupons, so sales are surprisingly good.
The demand is growing.
The two went to the Xuanmiao Temple Chamber of Commerce for a meeting.
Now Li Yiming has taken over Huang Ling's position as president and selected several reliable members to join the sewing army.
These people used to make their own waistcoats and vests, and they all have skills.
In the past, I made and sold the cloth myself, and if I couldn’t sell it, I would have to pay for the cloth. Now I can take Huang Ling’s job just by working and get paid, and I don’t have to go to Xuanmiao Temple for treatment, so I am willing to do it.
In the evening, Huang Ling, Song Ying and Li Yiming held a meeting.
Meetings are held every two weeks.
Huang Ling is responsible for taking orders, negotiating orders, and finances, Song Ying is responsible for contacting and communicating with the masters who take orders and quality inspection, and Li Yiming is responsible for purchasing raw materials, receiving and delivering goods.
There are still many things that need to be communicated among them.
Huang Ling has her own ideas about this house.
She discussed with Li Yiming that after they could get the license, Li Yiming and his mother would move into Huang Ling's house. After Li Yiming's house was renovated, the front would be used as a storefront and the back would be used as a sewing workshop.
In addition to casual workers, a few workers are also hired on a regular basis for production.
Once the profits reach a certain level, expand the business.
Li Yiming was now determined to follow Huang Ling, so of course he agreed.
Huang Ling said, "Don't agree so readily. You should ask your mother if she agrees. Your father worked so hard to earn this house over the years. I'm afraid she won't want to part with it."
Li Yiming ran out and simply called his mother over.
"Mom, Aunt Huang has something to tell you. Don't wait and say that I forced you to do it for money."
Song Ying brought a stool over for Sister Li to sit on.
As soon as Sister Li's butt touched the stool, she said, "I agree."
Huang Ling laughed: "Sister, I haven't even told you yet, how come you agreed? You agreed even if I sold your son!"
"Then I have to ask, how much is it for!" Sister Li joked.
Everyone laughed.
After laughing, Huang Ling told her her plan seriously.
Huang Ling did not just say it casually. She drew a map of the two courtyards and made plans.
As he said that, he took out the map.
"I saw Tunan painting that day, this is what he was painting!" Song Ying recognized it.
"Yes, he likes architecture, so drawing a floor plan like this is a piece of cake for him." Huang Ling nodded.
“That’s amazing!”
Several people gathered together to look at the map. It was clearly marked. Sister Li could understand it even though she had not read much. After Huang Ling explained it, she understood it even more clearly.
"I agree. I think we should abandon the yard and build a house. Wouldn't it be bigger? It can also be used as a warehouse." Sister Li said generously.
"I thought so too, but I didn't dare say it," Li Yiming interrupted, "I was afraid my mother would be reluctant to part with the vegetable garden."
"Before, we had nothing to eat, so we grew some ourselves and bought less. Now we have money to buy, so why grow more? If you're worried about having nothing to do, I'll watch the shop for you, clean it, and do the laundry. I don't ask for any wages. Isn't that something to do?"
Sister Li is efficient and honest, so of course she is good.
"That's great. The time is not right yet. I just want to tell you the plan in advance so that everyone will be aware of it." Huang Ling explained.
"Okay! Aling, you decide, and we agree to everything!" Sister Li seemed very relieved.
That's how it's settled.
After the discussion, Li Yiming and Sister Li left Huang Ling's yard and were seen by Zhang A'mei.
Now it is Wu Shanshan who cleans the chicken coops every day, but Zhang A-mei is afraid that others will say something about her, so she waits for Wu Shanshan to sweep and pack up the chicken manure before she takes it out.
When she went there, she even deliberately greeted her neighbors, fearing that others would not know that she had done the work.
As soon as she got back, she grumbled to Wu Jianguo, "I wonder what the Li family and that courtyard are plotting again."
"Why do you care about other people's business?" Wu Jianguo closed the window.
As soon as you open it, the stench gives you a headache.
If it's not on, it's too hot.
In the end, he decided to endure the heat rather than the smell.
Then he turned on the electric fan.
Zhang A-mei glared at him fiercely, turned off the electric fan and reopened the window.
"Electricity is free! Xiao Min's room is unventilated and she uses a fan, but ours is ventilated! Do you make more money or something?"
"That's not to say you're short of money! It's even more expensive to be unable to work if you have a fever!"
Wu Jianguo was a little annoyed, so he closed the window and turned on the fan again.
"I'm telling you, I don't care. Now that she's in No. 1 Middle School, I definitely won't pay for her high school and college education! It's up to you!" Zhang A'mei raised her voice, deliberately letting Wu Shanshan in the room hear.
Wu Shanshan didn't know why, but she became more angry and responded in the room:
"Both the neighborhood committee and the factory leaders have said they can't stop me from going to school. I have the freedom to choose. If I don't have enough money, I can borrow money from the factory and pay it back after I get a job! If I get into a good school, I'll even get a bonus!"
"What a bullshit exam!" Zhang A'mei was so angry.
"I have nothing to test! Some people are nothing!"
Wu Shanshan glanced at Zhang Min who was moving the fan towards her.
Zhang A-mei was about to rush into the room, but Wu Jianguo stopped her:
"Don't shout, don't shout, you're making fun of me! Other people's kids must be so happy to get into No. 1 Middle School! Going to college is such a great honor for the family!"
"Your daughter is a daughter, but mine is not," Zhang A'mei shouted.
"Why are you talking about this again? Didn't I say that everything will be tested and everything will be confessed! It's the same! Then she..."
Zhang A'mei knew that Zhang Min was not living up to her expectations, so she could only be angry in secret.
Then he changed his target and shouted out the window:
"Following those people every day, nothing good ever happened to you, and instead you learned to be stubborn! I think you could get yourself a university degree from your stubbornness!"
"You're such a stubborn person! Why didn't you become a college student? If you had studied a few more days, you wouldn't be a temporary worker! No wonder some kids don't study well! Intelligence is inherited from their mothers!"
Song Ying happened to come out to splash water and heard it, so she retorted without hesitation.
Huang Ling opened the door and came out, regretting it. She should have scolded him for saying that! She would earn another fifty cents less.
There was no sound from the other end. He couldn't win by scolding them, so he probably scolded Old Wu.
Song Ying shook her head and sighed:
"Old Wu might as well not have gotten married. Why would he make things difficult for himself and his child? Zhang A-mei is the same way. I don't know what he's trying to achieve. The child is the one who suffers the most. Shanshan is clearly a potential college student. If her father can't outsmart her mother and she doesn't go to college, she'll really hate them for the rest of her life."
Huang Ling nodded in agreement.
Wu Shanshan sneered and continued reading her book. The more she read, the hotter she became. Only then did she realize what the problem was.
Originally, the fan was placed at the end of her and Zhang Min's bed, and by turning the head, both of them could feel the heat.
When Zhang A-mei passed by, the chair moved and the fan leaned more towards Zhang Min.
Zhang A'mei passed by again, shook her head and stopped, turning all her attention to Zhang Min.
Wu Shanshan didn't say anything and fanned herself.
When she got up in the middle of the night to drink water, she saw that the fan was still blowing and Zhang Min's quilt fell to the ground. Wu Shanshan just took a look and went back to bed to continue sleeping.
The next morning, Zhang Min had a cold.
Zhang A-mei thought it was a trivial matter. When she saw the fan facing Wu Shanshan during her nap, she pushed the fan towards her daughter.
As a result, Zhang Min got pneumonia and was hospitalized.
When employees' children got sick, the factory only covered half of the medical expenses. No matter how distressed she was, Zhang A'mei still paid three dollars for the medical expenses.
She asked Wu Shanshan to take care of her. Wu Shanshan followed Li Yiming to set up a stall early in the morning to earn a living, selling cup holders and coasters that Huang Ling taught her to crochet.
When she came back, she started scolding him again.
Wu Shanshan replied, I said I would do all the housework, not including serving Zhang Min.
Zhang A-mei continued to curse.
But Wu Shanshan was very happy to earn only 80 cents, and she put the chaos at home behind her.
