Chapter 64 He guessed it was a trick
Since they can't divorce immediately, Huang Ling can't sit idle and must make money quickly.
After all the calculations, it turned out that the most profitable business last year was pig farming.
This year, the three of them discussed and decided to expand the scale of breeding.
Two rooms in the old house were kept for living, and the others were demolished and built into a pig house, and an uncle from the village was hired to help look after it.
Huang Ling told Zhang Yongcheng and Zhang Meiyun that there would be a policy around 1981 that would allow the registration of private companies, and they must be among the first to register and open a breeding farm so that they could make money.
Otherwise, when others follow suit and start doing it, it will not be so easy to make money.
Only after they earn their first pot of gold can they do other things.
The two believed what she said without a doubt. They had originally looked down upon the idea of raising pigs, but they did not expect that the income from selling the pigs at the end of the year would really surprise them.
Huang Ling only needs to pay money to earn this extra income, which is very easy.
Through her cooperation with the two last year, she was sure that Zhang Yongcheng and Zhang Meiyu were very reliable, so she felt more at ease and gave priority to the work of custom clothing.
With people's current consumption concepts and spending power, it is impossible for them to change clothes with the seasons as frequently as in modern times. The clothes they wore last autumn will definitely be worn this spring, and they will not have much desire to buy.
But it’s different in summer. Last year’s white shirts have turned yellow and may not be the right size anymore. In addition, there is a need for replacements, so after the spring, Huang Ling started making samples for summer clothes.
This year, the summer clothing models are no longer Song Ying, but the girls from the art troupe.
Huang Ling went to the art troupe to visit old customers and told them that each of them could receive a summer coat for free.
So when the first hot day comes, these girls will wear the shirts and skirts made by Huang Ling to work, go shopping, and visit friends, acting as her living signs.
Making clothes is not like setting up a stall. It’s easy to explain. I made it for my friend and just collected money for the cloth.
That day, everyone gathered at Song Ying's house for the first tea party after the new year.
Everyone made money through Huang Ling and had a good year, so they are more motivated this year.
Zhou Huailan has passed the test and officially become a member of the team, and the number of members has increased from seven to eight.
Of course, Zhou Huailan is a substitute. She can only do the same work as Song Ying at present, but her family is well-off and she has a sewing machine to learn, and she also has a special interest in it.
Huang Ling explained the general plan to everyone.
Anyway, she talked for a while and everyone seemed to understand, but in the end, just like before the New Year, they followed Huang Ling's arrangements. They made whatever clothes she asked them to make and made as many pieces as she asked them to make. They followed her instructions in everything.
Because of the previous commotion, it’s not appropriate to keep the goods at home.
It can be placed in the space, but it is troublesome for them to come and take it frequently, and they are afraid of being exposed.
Therefore, Huang Ling wanted to rent a house to use as a warehouse to store fabrics, accessories and finished clothes. If the team members needed anything, they could go directly to the warehouse to get it without having to come to her house often.
When Zhou Huailan heard this, she said, "That's easy! I have an empty room and an empty storage room at home. You can use them as you like."
Huang Ling clapped her hands and refused: "You and your brother live alone, and your brother is single. If a group of us lesbians were to run to your house all the time, that would be terrible. Besides, it would be inconvenient."
When Zhou Huailan heard this, she thought it was true.
"There's no rush anyway. Everyone, please keep an eye out. It's not far from where we live, it's clean, and the owner is reliable." Huang Ling said to everyone.
But everyone knows that this is a rather difficult thing.
Because now people have to wait in line for houses to be allocated by the factory, and even if they are allocated, there are basically not enough rooms to live in, so there are no extra rooms for rent.
Only families like the Zhou family, who have lived in Suzhou for several generations and already have old houses, can have this.
Zhou Huailan went home after the tea party, sighing.
Zhou Huaiyi asked her, "What's wrong? You said you would not rely on me and would earn enough money to buy a washing machine. From now on, I will only have to pay for the electricity bill, and you can help me wash clothes."
"It's not that." Zhou Huailan told her brother about the predicament.
Zhou Huaiyi nodded and said, "This is really not an easy thing. If you want to rent a warehouse, there must be one in the suburbs, but it's too far away from you. It's probably hard to find one nearby, and you need someone reliable."
"That's right! Sister Ling's house is completely empty, and there's really no room for her. Plus, she has those disgusting parents-in-law watching over her."
"I've heard about it too." Zhou Huaiyi said.
"Everyone in the factory knows that they're getting divorced!"
Zhou Huaiyi was stunned and shook his head: "Where did I hear about the divorce? I heard about the Zhuang family's 'killing relatives for the sake of justice'."
"Isn't it just to avoid divorce so that I can continue to bully Sister Ling? If she was really vicious, it's a good thing Sister Ling is smart, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous."
"I don't think anyone can scare her." Zhou Huaiyi smiled.
Originally, he felt a little strange when he heard about this matter, but now that he heard his sister say that Huang Ling wanted to divorce Zhuang Chaoying, he was completely convinced.
With his expertise as a scout and his understanding of Huang Ling, he thought it was most likely a setup, the purpose of which was to let more people know about the injustice she had suffered and to take the initiative in future divorce disputes.
"I said we have space at home, but Sister Ling said it's inconvenient for you, a single man." Zhou Huailan glanced at her brother.
"No, I've become a hindrance to your ability to earn extra money! You ungrateful bastard, I've raised you and loved you in vain!"
"No, no, brother," Zhou Huailan laughed hurriedly, "I mean, you're a factory manager after all! Why don't you think of a way to solve this little problem?"
"Wow, if I can't do it, it's not just you who's the obstacle, I'm also a useless factory manager, right!"
"Absolutely not. You are the best brother in the world and the most powerful factory manager."
"Okay, I'll ask someone."
"Thank you, brother."
Zhou Huailan watched his brother go to the kitchen to cook. He saw something was wrong with his posture and hurried after him:
"My legs hurt again!"
Zhou Huaiyi smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, you can still see that my old injury has come back. It's not in vain that I care about you. What do you want to eat tonight?"
"Then you go sit down and rest! I'll cook." Zhou Huailan snatched the apron from his hand.
"Is the food you cooked for humans edible? If you give it to pigs, even they will shake their heads."
"Then I'll learn, and you teach! Why are you scolding me? Director Zhou, it must be hard to be your subordinate! I get scolded all the time."
Zhou Huailan pushed her brother out of the kitchen.
Zhou Huaiyi really took this matter to heart and asked a few reliable comrades about it. Unexpectedly, there was actually a suitable place.
So Zhou Huaiyi asked his sister to ask Huang Ling to go and take a look.
Because they were comrades-in-arms, Zhou Huaiyi went along as well.
