Upon hearing this, Min Yuehua started wailing and crying again.
Speculation and profiteering will get you arrested and sent to a labor camp.
I thought Ye Beiping would be sent to a labor camp sooner or later, but I never expected that my son would also go down this path.
"Mom, you..." Su Ze looked at Min Yuehua speechlessly and said with a headache, "What are you doing?"
I finally have the capital to start a business, and instead of being happy for him, you're making a long face.
"what?"
Min Yuehua was furious at Su Ze's questioning. She grabbed Su Ze's clothes and kept slapping his arm with one hand: "Hurry up and take the money back. What kind of business are you doing? That will get you sent to a labor camp."
Upon hearing this, Su Ze scoffed coldly, showing no interest whatsoever.
"Mom, many of my friends have started making money. They've only been doing it for a few months and they've already earned tens of thousands of yuan. Why can't I do it?"
Tens of thousands of yuan.
hiss!
Even Su Xinyi and Su Qingwen gasped in surprise.
Although I know Su Ze was definitely exaggerating, even if it's halved, it's still five thousand yuan.
Earning five thousand yuan in a few months is considered extremely profitable.
Min Yuehua was also stunned for a moment, then widened her eyes and asked without crying or making a fuss, "What kind of business is this that makes so much money?"
Tens of thousands of yuan! They're lucky if they can earn 2,000 yuan a year.
Aside from food, drinks, and gifts, she could be overjoyed if she could save a few hundred yuan.
Seeing the looks on everyone's faces, Su Ze knew they were shocked by the news. He smiled smugly and said, "Selling cigarettes? I've already asked my friend to pick up the goods. They should arrive in about seven or eight days. I bought 3,500 yuan worth this time. I heard you can make a profit selling them..."
After counting on his fingers, Su Ze said, "I can earn at least seven or eight thousand yuan."
Two hundred percent profit.
Min Yuehua and Su Qingwen exchanged a glance. They had never done business before. They thought the profit margin was high, but they didn't know if it would be easy to do.
Selling cigarettes?
The two of them thought it should sell well, right?
So many people around me smoke.
When Min Yuehua heard that she could earn so much in just seven or eight days, she completely forgot about the labor camp or anything like that.
He pulled Su Ze to sit on the sofa, his expression instantly changing as he asked, "So, are these cigarettes selling well?"
"Of course." Su Ze patted his chest proudly and said arrogantly, "Not to mention that my friends will help me, the cigarettes I get don't require coupons."
No ticket needed?
It's important to know that in the late 1970s, you needed ration coupons to buy almost anything.
You need cloth coupons to buy clothes, and meat coupons to buy meat.
Items that don't require tickets do sell well.
Thinking of this, Min Yuehua asked with slight excitement, "Then...is it dangerous?"
I've heard it's selling well; the next thing to consider is the level of risk.
If the risk is not too great, Min Yuehua thinks it is still worth taking the risk. After all, they have too much money. If they were to save money honestly, they might not be able to save seven thousand yuan even in twenty years.
Even if no family member gets seriously ill, once someone gets seriously ill and is hospitalized, the family's savings will basically be depleted.
“What’s the risk? My friend has been doing this for months.” Su Ze became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he could already see banknotes flowing into his pocket: “It’s not just selling cigarettes, but also watches, Hong Kong-made leather bags, there are so many. No matter what it is, if it has the words ‘Hong Kong-made’ on it, the price will increase several times.”
"They even sell televisions and refrigerators."
hiss!
There was a television and a refrigerator, and everyone gasped in surprise.
But after listening to so much, Su Xinyi still felt that something was wrong.
She knew her own brother's limitations perfectly well. If her group of cronies could make a lot of money, Su Ze wouldn't be the one to play the role of a tycoon.
However, she hadn't returned for three years, and she didn't know the specifics of the situation. The only person she could truly believe was Ye Beiping, who was skilled at making money.
Do you know whose money this is?
Su Xinyi's sudden question startled everyone.
Seeing that Su Ze didn't understand, Su Xinyi explained, "This money belongs to Ye Beiping. Because you took it, he said that this money is my betrothal gift. If you squander this money, it's equivalent to selling your sister."
Su Xinyi said this on purpose.
They just wanted to see if Su Ze had any conscience left, and whether he could bear to take the money from selling his sister.
Su Ze stared at his parents, mouth agape, seemingly utterly astonished by the news.
Seeing this, Su Qingwen and Min Yuehua pursed their lips and nodded.
Upon confirmation, Su Zewei stood up angrily: "Is Ye Beiping threatening you?"
Seeing Su Ze like this, Su Xinyi frowned slightly.
"You mean you're in the right? You steal other people's money and you think you're right?"
Su Ze: "..."
That shut him up completely.
Stealing other people's money is definitely wrong, but the thought of Ye Beiping and Su Ze makes me unhappy.
“Then this money can’t be considered a bride price. At worst, I can consider it a loan from him. I’ll just sell the goods in a few days and pay him back.”
Su Ze's words struck a chord with Min Yuehua, who chimed in, "Yes, yes, this is a loan. Xinyi, go and call Ye Beiping to explain things clearly. This money is a loan from our family."
Looking at the mother and son in front of her, Su Xinyi first stared at them intently, then sneered, "Mom, you believe him? Although I don't know if these businesses are easy or difficult to run, don't you know what cigarettes, televisions, and refrigerators are? Can an ordinary person sell them?"
Min Yuehua realized after being reminded that these things were indeed not something ordinary people could sell. But then she thought about how she could make money from them, and she stammered, "You... what do you know? You've been in the countryside for three years. The city is developing so fast. How do you know you can't sell them?"
These words completely broke Su Xinyi's heart, and she laughed until tears streamed down her face.
Wasn't my three-year trip to the countryside all because of Su Ze?
Even now, her own mother says that after three years in the countryside, she still can't keep up with their pace.
"Okay, Mom, remember what I said. From now on, this family has nothing to do with me. Ye Beiping also said that this money is a bride price. If you don't acknowledge it, then return the money. If you don't return the money, he won't be so easy to talk to."
"Don't blame me if your precious son really ends up in jail."
"Since this family doesn't welcome me, I'll just leave."
After saying that, Su Xinyi resolutely turned around and went to her room to pack her things, feeling that there was no place for her in this house anymore.
"sister."
"Xinyi".
Su Qingwen and Su Xinwan called out and quickly caught up with Su Xinyi.
This scene shocked Min Yuehua and Su Ze so much that they didn't have time to react.
A few minutes later, Su Qingwen and Su Xinwan couldn't persuade Su Xinyi to stop, and watched helplessly as she finished packing her bags.
Just as Su Xinyi was about to walk out the door, Min Yuehua finally realized what was happening and, her chest heaving, declared, "If you walk out of this door today, don't ever come back."
"hehe."
Su Xinyi sneered without turning her head: "Don't worry, a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl. Since you've accepted the betrothal gifts, I won't be coming back. There's no place for me here anymore."
