Chapter 56 The Shy Brother-in-Law



"Dad, why don't you go and help me start some business?"

Wang Qian thought for a moment and then suggested tactfully, "That way it won't be so hard, and if I make money, you'll get your share too!"

Lin Youfu was slightly taken aback.

After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head. "Forget it. I'm just a roughneck, I can't do it. Besides, I already promised that family that I would help them carry all the bricks. I can't go back on my word."

"Well... okay!"

Wang Qian did not force him.

He meant well, but he didn't want to say it directly.

Given their kinship, it would be very impolite and disrespectful for an elder to directly ask him to do something for them and offer to pay him a certain amount of wages each day.

Otherwise, as long as Lin Youfu agrees, even if he doesn't really help much, he will definitely give a lot of money.

As for Lin Youfu's refusal, he probably knew the reason.

It's probably because they're so close that they don't need money, and their family is struggling financially.

I feel embarrassed to ask for it.

"Brother-in-law, I'm going to plow the field now, please have a seat!"

Just then, his brother-in-law Lin Chao's voice came from not far away.

Looking to the side, I saw that Lin Chao had already picked up the plow and rake and was leading the water buffalo away.

"etc!"

Wang Qian rushed over and grabbed Lin Chao, saying, "Besides visiting my parents, I mainly came to see you today."

"Looking for me?" Lin Chao was taken aback.

"yes!"

Wang Qian nodded. "Your sister is about to give birth, and I need to take her to the county hospital. If I'm not there, the business will have to be put on hold. My dad is illiterate and can't go to the county hospital, so I'd like to ask you to cover for me for a while."

"But I don't know how to do business!" Lin Chao said sheepishly.

"It's okay, I'll take you there and tell you how to do it. You'll know how after that."

Wang Qian came here today specifically for Lin Chao, so how could he possibly let the other party get away?

"Brother-in-law, I would like to help you, but..."

Lin Chao scratched his head nervously and said, "I'm afraid I'm a bit slow. What if I mess it up for you?"

Just be careful!

Wang Qian shook his head. "It's okay even if we mess it up!"

"I see, well... okay!"

Lin Chao hesitated for a moment, but then agreed.

After all, he's his brother-in-law; if he can help, he certainly won't refuse.

"Xiao Chao, don't worry, when we make money, you'll definitely get your share..."

Wang Qian was about to make a promise when Lin Chao waved his hand to interrupt him, "Brother-in-law, we're family, why are you talking to me about money? It's only right that I help you if you need it."

"Thanks in advance!"

Wang Qian nodded gratefully.

In such a close relationship, talking about money does seem a bit formal.

However, if Lin Chao can really help him get through this period, he will definitely give the other party some money as compensation.

Next, he exchanged a few pleasantries with his father-in-law Lin Youfu and mother-in-law Ai Xiaomi, and then took Lin Chao back home.

On the way, he carefully explained his business process and the things he needed to pay attention to.

Lin Chao listened very attentively.

Afraid of forgetting, he took out a notebook and a pen and wrote down all the key points.

Seeing this, Wang Qian felt even more relieved.

His business wasn't difficult to begin with. As long as he was humble enough to learn and a little more careful, he shouldn't have messed it up.

Of course, it's impossible to be completely without any wariness.

After all, the amount of potatoes and corn he buys every day, once delivered to Tianming Snacks Co., Ltd., can bring in more than 10,000 yuan.

This is an absolute fortune for ordinary rural people.

If Lin Chao were to become greedy and try to sabotage things, or even abscond with the money, it would definitely have a significant impact on him.

If Lin Chao were even more cunning, and after figuring out his business methods, he were to start his own business and steal his business like Wang Dalin did, it would be a very irritating thing.

...

When Wang Qian brought Lin Chao home, it was already past eight o'clock.

At this moment, six young men from the village, including Yang Shenglong, were already helping him load potatoes and corn onto the truck.

His mother, Lu Aihua, and his wife, Lin Xiaoyu, have already packed up and are just waiting for him to come back.

"Xiao Chao, you're here?"

Upon seeing Lin Chao, who had followed her, Lin Xiaoyu's face lit up with excitement, and she immediately came over to greet him.

"Sis, my brother-in-law asked me to come and help."

The siblings were naturally delighted to see each other and sat together, having endless things to talk about.

An hour later, all the potatoes and corn purchased yesterday were loaded.

Three large trucks filled with them!

Originally, the potatoes and corn in this village had already been almost completely purchased.

However, because Wang Dalin failed to seize the business, it indirectly helped him gain publicity, and people from several nearby villages also learned about it.

As a result, potatoes and corn became increasingly scarce in our village, while the population of other villages increased.

This is what allowed his business to grow bigger and bigger.

With everything prepared, Wang Qian, Lin Xiaoyu, Lu Aihua, and Lin Chao rode in a truck to the county town.

The truck driver was quite shrewd. Seeing that Lin Xiaoyu was heavily pregnant, he drove exceptionally carefully and slowly, especially on rough roads, to avoid excessive bumps.

An hour later, they finally arrived at Tianming Snacks Co., Ltd. in the county town.

The three trucks were weighed, and the weights came out quickly.

27,425 catties of potatoes.

20,762 jin of corn.

Potatoes are calculated at 27 cents each, which is more than 7,404 yuan.
