After a while, Zhou Meimei discovered that Zhou Bingqiang and his wife were missing.
"Mom, look at my eldest brother and his wife, they are just lazy and left us in the hospital. And my second brother and his wife, they went home early, right?" Zhou Meimei complained to Ding Ermei.
"It's better that they left. They kept us two from having intimate conversations here." Ding Ermei said nonchalantly.
"Mom, give me five dollars. I took three days off for you this time, and I also paid for the round-trip fare. You should at least reimburse me for this money." Zhou Meimei spread out her palms towards Ding Ermei.
"I don't have any money in my pocket now. I'll give it to you when I get home." Ding Ermei agreed.
"Mom, why are you so generous this time? In the past, when I asked you for money, it would take several rounds of argument before you were willing to give it to me." Zhou Meimei looked suspicious.
"Meimei, Mom had a near-death experience this time and figured it out. Money is something you can’t bring with you when you are born and you can’t take with you when you die. Over the years, I tried my best to get money from Bingchen so that I could leave some for Bingqiang and Bingxing. What’s the result? I was cheated of my money this time, and not only did they not comfort me, they kept blaming me." Ding Ermei sighed and said.
"Mom, you just spoiled the eldest and second brothers too much. The hug of the two biological children combined is not as good as the hug of the third brother..."
Before Zhou Meimei could finish her words, Ding Ermei covered her mouth.
"Have you forgotten what your father said? How dare you say anything out loud?" Ding Ermei shouted harshly.
"Hmm~! Hmm~!" Zhou Meimei shook her head violently.
Oh my god, didn’t her mother just have her stomach washed? Why is her hand still so strong?
I almost suffocated her.
So what if the third brother brought her here? She wasn't kidnapped, so why can't I even mention her?
"Meimei, remember, you must keep this matter to yourself for the rest of your life, and never tell anyone. Otherwise, our whole family will die." Ding Ermei moved her hand away, and seeing Zhou Meimei's unconvinced look, she quickly warned her.
"Mom, I get it. I won't say it again." Zhou Meimei pouted and agreed reluctantly.
When Zhao Zhenzhu returned home, He Bo was already waiting for her.
"Sister Zhenzhu." When He Bo saw Zhao Zhenzhu, he quickly stood up and called out awkwardly.
"Zhenzhu! Xiaobo from Grandma Hua's family wants to talk to you about something. You guys chat. I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some hairtail. Yunyun and Qingshan are digging earthworms in the backyard. You keep an eye on them." Wu Meiyu said, carrying a basket, and went out.
These days, Zhao Qingshan has been catching fish one after another and is very interested in the fish.
Every morning, Zhao Qingshan would go to the backyard to dig up a dozen or twenty earthworms to use as fish bait.
Zhou Yunyun likes to join in the fun.
Whenever they saw Zhao Qingshan digging earthworms, they would take a small shovel and dig here and there, trying to participate.
At this moment, Zhao Qingshan's hearty laughter and Zhou Yunyun's cheers could be heard from the backyard!
After Wu Meiyun left, He Bo hurriedly took out a stack of money from his pocket, handed it to Zhao Zhenzhu, and said, "Sister Zhenzhu, this is the money for the watch. A total of 1,950 yuan, please count it."
"Are all sold out?" Zhao Zhenzhu asked with a smile.
"Yeah, sold out." He Bo's face was full of excitement.
After deducting the share given to his friends, He Bo made a net profit of two hundred yuan from these ten watches.
Earning two hundred in two days was something He Bo had never dared to dream of before.
Zhao Zhenzhu took the money without hesitation and started counting it.
Money must be counted in person.
Zhao Zhenzhu would never say things like "I believe you" or "No need to count".
Zhao Zhenzhu counted it twice and only put it away after finding the number matched.
"Sister Zhenzhu, do you still have any goods? There are still twenty or so people who want to buy. I have received a deposit of 2,000 yuan." He Bo asked.
"Aren't they afraid that you will run away?" Zhao Zhenzhu was stunned.
Two thousand yuan is a huge sum of money in this era.
"My friend Liangzi acted as the guarantor. These ten or so people are Liangzi's relatives and friends. Liangzi believes in me, so they will give the money first." He Bo explained.
He Bo took the earliest bus to the county town yesterday to visit his friend Yu Mingliang.
With Yu Mingliang in charge, ten watches were bought by people who arrived one after another in less than two hours.
The people who came later didn’t buy it because they refused to leave Mingliang’s house.
Yu Mingliang was extremely anxious. He only notified ten people of the ten watches.
Unable to resist, those people called their close friends to come and buy. Some bought two at a time, as if they were free.
Seeing that He Bo wanted to leave, Yu Mingliang quickly grabbed him.
Yu Mingliang asked He Bo to think of a way to get another batch of watches to sell.
He Bo didn't know whether Zhao Zhenzhu still had any goods, so he didn't dare to agree.
Yu Mingliang gritted his teeth and suggested that everyone could pay first and get the goods later.
A dozen people had a slightly distant relationship with Yu Mingliang, so they didn't dare to pay before seeing the goods. Otherwise, He Bo would have brought back more money this time.
When He Bo handed Zhao Zhenzhu the two thousand yuan, Zhao Zhenzhu smiled and asked, "I haven't given you the goods yet! Aren't you afraid that I will deny my debt after receiving the money?"
"Sister Zhenzhu, please stop slandering me. I took ten watches from you without paying you a penny a few days ago. How could you possibly swallow my two thousand dollars?" He Bo said with a smile.
Zhao Zhenzhu felt relieved after hearing this.
This He Bo is really good at talking, it's worth her trust in him.
Zhao Zhenzhu went back to the house and took out thirty watches.
He Bo's eyes lit up.
"There are only so many watches left. After I sell these, they will probably be out of stock soon," said Zhao Zhenzhu.
Although there are still watches in Zhao Zhenzhu's space, Zhao Zhenzhu doesn't want to sell them in Qingshan County.
Qingshan County is too small.
If a small place ships too much at one time, it is easy to be targeted.
Zhao Zhenzhu just wanted to make money secretly and didn't want to be targeted by others.
"Ah? I can't get my watch recently?" He Bo was a little worried.
If Zhao Zhenzhu doesn't have any goods, He Bo doesn't know what to do next.
"I don't have watches for the time being. But I have other business, I wonder if you are interested?" Zhao Zhenzhu said with a smile.
"Sister Zhenzhu, you say, I'm willing to do anything." He Bo nodded vigorously.
Zhao Zhenzhu took out a hair band from her pocket and placed it on the table.
The hairband is the simplest one, made of Dacron with floral patterns. Zhao Zhenzhu made it after she saw the hairpin on Zhou Yunyun's head.
In Zhao Zhenzhu's previous life, this kind of hair band only became popular in the mid-1980s.
As soon as it came out, it led the trend of the times.
Whether in the city or in the countryside, young girls and wives all wear various kinds of hair bands on their heads.
"What is this?" He Bo didn't understand.
"This is called a hair band, it's used to tie up hair." After Zhao Zhenzhu said this, she saw the confusion on He Bo's face and then she came to her senses.
At that time, female comrades were still very simple, with either short hair or two braids. They used yellow rubber bands, which could be bought at the supply and marketing cooperatives, for two for one cent.
Only very few girls who love beauty would buy two red hairbands to tie their hair.
