Qian Wenqing was sorting through the goods when he saw him arrive and was taken aback for a moment.
Because he only informed his family when he returned, they had no idea that Xu Xiangyang was back.
"Brother Xu, when did you get back? Why didn't you tell me? I would have come to pick you up!" he said with a smile as he walked over.
The black market is getting better and better now. He has started a family and has children. He bought a small courtyard house.
Looking at his spirited appearance, Xu Xiangyang saw that he had shed his naivety from a few years ago and now had a more capable and independent demeanor.
"Why are you picking me up? I'm not a kid, I can't find my way home," he joked, and the two went inside.
He looked around and asked, "Your wife and children aren't home?"
"No, Lin Min took the child to the park." He has indeed been living a very comfortable life these past two years.
Especially after Lin Min gave birth to her eldest daughter, who is now three years old, she feels very happy and content every day.
Before, when I was single, I only thought about having enough to eat. Now that I have a family and children, I have a lot more responsibility.
Xu Xiangyang nodded and got straight to the point. "I've got some new stock recently, I'll bring it over tonight."
Since the goods are all produced in the other world, we don't know if they'll be suitable for sale here.
Qian Wenqing was quite interested. "Sure, our canned meat is pretty good, it's always sold well. And that canned fish you made a couple of years ago, those two are the best-selling."
This is still limited to canned goods, which are popular because they are easy to preserve and have a long shelf life.
This time, Xu Xiangyang still made canned goods, but this time it was chicken canned goods, one chicken per can.
Actually, he would prefer to sell vacuum-packed products, but unfortunately the shelf life is too short, and vacuum packaging is not available now.
After a while, Xu Xiangyang was about to go out when he ran into Lin Min returning.
Several people were following behind her, and Qian Wenqing's face darkened when he saw them.
Xu Xiangyang thought the person looked somewhat familiar, but didn't say anything.
"Oh, Xiao Qian, are you free now?" The speaker was Lin Min's mother, Li Damei.
Qian Wenqing's expression was not good, and he did not say anything.
Lin Min looked somewhat troubled, glancing at this and that.
"Is this how you treat your mother-in-law when she comes to visit? All those years of my Xiaomin being with you and giving birth to your child have been for nothing." Li Damei rolled her eyes, her tone sharp and sarcastic.
Lin Min's father, Lin Song, who was standing nearby, also said, "Is this how a son-in-law should act? Can't you speak properly?"
"You've come here to cause trouble, haven't you?" Qian Wenqing said with a dark face. "Didn't I tell you not to come to our house again? What, have you no shame?"
Upon hearing this, the couple opposite immediately turned sour.
Li Damei shouted loudly, "What? Can't I come? As long as Lin Min is here, I can stay here."
Lin Min looked somewhat sad. "Mom and Dad, you can go now. Didn't you say you'd just take me home?"
She unexpectedly ran into the couple at the park. She didn't want to talk to them at first, but they said everything was fine and they would just take her home.
She thought about it and agreed; there was no way she would agree to anything else.
I never expected it to turn out like this as soon as I got home.
Li Damei said irritably, "How could I have given birth to such a traitor like you?"
"Since you two are both here, I'll just say it: your younger brother is getting married in a few days, so please give him a thousand yuan."
"He's your brother, you can't just ignore him."
Lin Min was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this.
A thousand yuan?
Although everyone can afford to eat now, a thousand yuan still requires three or four workers in the family to save up for three or four years by living frugally.
She doesn't work and relies entirely on Qian Wenqing to earn money, so how can she have the confidence to ask people for money?
Even if Qian Wenqing could give it to her, she wouldn't give it to Li Damei!
"Do you think I'm a millionaire? I'm unemployed and incapable. Why are you asking me for so much money?" She was both angry and helpless.
If she had the ability, she could accept making such a condition, but she has nothing!
Li Damei smiled and said, "You don't have any, but Xiao Qian does, right? I've heard that Xiao Qian has been dealing in things on the black market for the past few years. He's probably not making any money, is he?"
As she spoke of this, a glint of greed flashed in her eyes.
She had long suspected that the couple, who were both unemployed, couldn't possibly afford to eat such good and expensive food all the time.
How can you live without money?
After hearing the news, she came over once and got two hundred yuan.
Two hundred for one hand, that's quite a lot. Looks like they've really made a lot of money.
Qian Wenqing retorted directly, "Didn't you give us two hundred yuan last time? We agreed it was for the bride price and that you wouldn't come back. Don't you have any shame?"
Because Li Damei kept coming over, he gave her money and agreed that she wouldn't come over again.
The money was given out of fear of putting Lin Min in a difficult position.
Although it's not a lot of money, it still hurts to give it to them.
After thinking it over, since they were Lin Min's parents, I decided to consider it a way of severing ties.
Li Damei sneered, "How dare you ask for two hundred yuan? Every family spends several hundred on a wedding. I'm only doing this because I see you're struggling. You have to pay this time, or I'm not leaving!"
She had already planned that the thousand yuan would be left to her youngest son to buy a yard and some other things.
"Xiaomin, aren't you going to do anything about your brother's wedding? He's your brother." Lin Song frowned as he looked at Lin Min, his tone full of reproach.
Lin Min glanced at him, her heart filled with disappointment. "Brother? Has he ever called me 'sister' even once? When my brother and I came to your door to find you, he called me a stinking beggar. Did he even consider me his sister?"
The thought of it made her sad. After all, they were her parents, but what they did was something no parent would do.
"Isn't he young? Why are you acting like a child?" Li Damei couldn't stand it anymore and scolded him directly, "No matter what, he's still your brother. If you don't care, may you be struck by lightning!"
Listen to this, is this what a human being says?
May my daughter be struck by lightning!
Lin Min shouted, "I don't have parents like you! Leave my home! Go!"
She got angry, which surprised everyone.
Lin Min is usually good-tempered, but to be honest, she's weak.
But at this point, being able to say it out loud is already quite difficult.
Seeing this, Qian Wenqing pointed to the door and said, "If you don't leave, I'll hit someone!"
After saying that, he went to get a stick from under the window.
When Lin Song saw him take something, he immediately became shrewd and said, "Hey? Try hitting me! Come on, hit me on the head!"
As he spoke, he moved closer.
Qian Wenqing wasn't afraid and slammed the stick down on him.
Of course, he didn't hit his head, but rather his body, and the force wasn't much.
This time, Lin Song was dumbfounded and simply lay down on the ground to begin.
"Oh my god, someone's been hit!"
The others all frowned. This grown man was acting like a woman throwing a tantrum!
