Aunt Xu's sister-in-law, Cao Jinhua, also said angrily, "That's right, sister-in-law is simply outrageous! She even hit her mother-in-law, and she kept hitting her in the face! You've gone mad!"
Aunt Xu shrieked, "Shut up! You've come to take my daughter away, and you expect me to say nice things to you?"
The others knew what had happened, so they quickly advised them to stop making a scene, or they would call the Women's Federation and the neighborhood committee.
Grandma Xu knew that nothing would come of it today, so she dragged Cao Jinhua away, cursing and swearing.
After everyone left, Aunt Xu wiped away her tears and thanked her neighbors. Those who had previously disliked her now felt sorry for her and said some words of comfort before taking their leave.
After everyone had left, Aunt Xu washed her face and said, "I wrote a letter to my older brother, asking him to help find a good family for Daya. Once Daya is married, they'll be out of options."
Lu's mother shook her head disapprovingly: "Yangzi just called me. His friend in the provincial capital agreed to help transfer Daya to another school so that she can study there for another year."
“Her household registration is also registered at my family’s house in the provincial capital. When she takes the college entrance examination in the provincial capital, you can tell others that she went to her uncle’s place to get married.”
Aunt Xu looked at Lu's mother in astonishment, then threw herself into Lu's mother's arms and burst into tears.
"Sister Tian, I am truly blessed to have a neighbor like you."
Lu's mother quickly comforted her: "Don't cry. You should take some time to get Meiru transferred to another school, and then take the paperwork to the provincial capital."
"So that your mother-in-law and sister-in-law won't come looking for trouble every now and then."
Aunt Xu wiped away her tears, composed herself, and said, "I'll go right away, Sister Tian, thank you so much."
Lu's mother urged her to hurry up, and Aunt Xu then went to the kitchen, put all the eggs in the house into a basket, and called Xu Meiru to go out together.
Knowing that Aunt Xu was going to the principal's house at Xu Meiru's school, Lu's mother simply told the two Xu children to lock the door and go to her house to play.
By the time the Xu mother and daughter returned, it was already completely dark.
They came directly to the Lu family's house. Aunt Xu's mood improved considerably, and she said excitedly, "The principal also felt sorry for Daya. He specially went to the school to handle the procedures. I can get the transfer documents by noon tomorrow and send Daya directly to the provincial capital."
Yao Lili said with a smile, "I'll go with you. I'll take Daya directly to No. 3 Middle School, and after we finish the formalities, we'll go to Yangzi's house in the provincial capital."
Aunt Xu nodded repeatedly, took out 1,500 yuan from her bag, and insisted on giving it to Lu's mother.
"The money in here was borrowed from you before, and the other five hundred is for Daya's living expenses in the provincial capital."
"You've been a great help, we can't let you spend any more money!"
Mother Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, don't worry. Although Yangzi and Lili are not in the provincial capital, Yangzi has several shops there."
"We'll ask them to look after Daya then, and a year will pass quickly!"
Aunt Xu nodded repeatedly, feeling as if she had met a benefactor.
The following afternoon, Yao Lili and Xu Meiru arrived in the provincial capital together, and Lu Yang borrowed a car to pick them up and take them to the Third Middle School.
Brother Chen had already made arrangements, so the procedures went very smoothly.
After completing the formalities, Lu Yang asked Yao Lili to show Xu Meiru around, while he went to the electronics store to restock.
The economy is changing rapidly, and per capita consumption levels have also increased significantly.
Previously, people would ask for a "three-turn-one-ring" (refrigerator, sewing machine, radio, and watch) when getting married, but now those with better financial means want a refrigerator, color TV, and washing machine. As a result, appliance stores are doing even better business than before.
Lu Yang raised wages for all employees again, especially for the Yu family at the electronics store and Cheng Lin's cousin Tao Min, whose wages were each increased to 1,000 yuan.
Yu Guangxue hugged her daughter with a smile and said, "Although you earn a lot, your investments are huge. If you really give us this much money, my family will become a ten-thousand-yuan household in less than a year!"
Lu Yang patted his daughter's head and said, "If you have money, save it up and buy a house in the future."
“It wasn’t much before. When I’m not here, you have to take care of everything in the shop.”
Yu Guangxue's eyes shone with joy: "What's there to worry about? Our store's appliances are good, and we even provide after-sales service. Business is booming, and we don't have to worry about not having customers."
Lu Yang chatted with her briefly, then went to Changchun himself and bought more than ten wild ginseng roots, intending to bring them back as gifts.
After staying there for five days, Lu Yang returned to the county.
Lu's mother's shop has been renovated. She hired people herself, and it looks quite impressive. She even hung up a signboard that says "Tian's Noodle Shop".
She smiled as she carried things into the store, and when she saw Lu Yang arrive, she immediately waved and said, "I don't need your help, I'm almost done."
Lu Yang leaned on the counter and said, "Let's pack our things and go to Guangzhou for fun, while the stars and the moon are on holiday."
Lu's mother was originally full of ambition to open the noodle shop, but after listening to Lu Yang's words, she couldn't help but want to go on a trip.
So she waved her hand and said, "Okay, I'll go back and pack my things!"
Lu Yang smiled and went back with his mother to pack. Two days later, everyone took the train to Guangzhou.
Transportation in 1987 was much better than before, so Lu Yang booked a soft sleeper berth with four beds in one private room.
He asked someone to buy them a combined ticket, and the five of them managed to squeeze in and stay there.
Lu Xing was so excited that he ran around everywhere and couldn't stay in the private room at all.
Lu Yang watched him run around speechlessly, and suddenly remembered his first time in Guangzhou. He sat in a hard seat until his butt hurt, and had to be wary of thieves and human traffickers. He was on tenterhooks the whole way.
This time, however, I felt relaxed, and the food and accommodation were much better than last time.
He followed Lu Xing around a few times before the guy finally calmed down and they went back to the private room together.
Two days and two nights later, they arrived in Guangzhou and settled in the house they had bought in Luyang.
After resting for a day, Lu Yang drove them around.
Under Lu Yang's guidance, Yao Lili also learned to drive, so when Lu Yang was unavailable, Yao Lili would drive them out.
Lu Yang sorted the goods in the warehouse he rented here, and only after confirming that there were no problems with the batch of goods did he arrange for the loading and unloading workers to mail all the goods to Kyoto.
Both he and Yao Lili have good taste, so the clothing styles they choose are all best-selling and of guaranteed quality. As a result, more than a dozen more stores in Kyoto are getting their goods from him recently.
Lu Yang stared intently at a clothing store called Qiaoning, finding something odd. He turned to his hired sales manager and asked, "This store has been buying more stock in the last three months than before. Are they middlemen, or...?"
The sales manager, Yang Xuan, is a local from Guangzhou. He said with a smile, "I called the owner of this store and he said that a very capable salesperson recently came and the goods are selling very well. They are not being resold in bulk."
Lu Yang wasn't surprised, after all, every industry has its talented people.
After confirming that there were no problems with the goods, Lu Yang handed the matter over to the two managers and went home to rest.
As soon as he entered the house, Yao Lili pointed to the study and said, "Li Xingran wrote back to you again. I put the letter in the study."
