Su Xueli's heart skipped a beat, and she glanced at him warily. "What do you want to say?"
Wei Mingshen asked, "If I don't want to divorce you anymore, and we just want to continue living like this, would you agree?"
"No!" Su Xueli said firmly.
Wei Mingshen's eyes darkened, and he asked in a low voice, "Why?"
Su Xueli said softly, "Because she's in your heart."
"What if I forget her?"
"Impossible, what you can't have is always more alluring."
Wei Mingshen fell silent.
Su Xueli trembled again, remembering the grievances she suffered in her past life. She said, "Wei Mingshen, we have to divorce. I must grant your wish. This way, your life will be complete. As for me, without you... I will have a bright future!"
Wei Mingshen's heart sank. He looked at Su Xueli and asked, "Do you really think so?"
Su Xueli said firmly, "Yes."
Wei Mingshen picked up the paintbrush again and said, "Since that's the case, let's not wait until we've earned enough money for my family to spend on the wedding. Let's just get a divorce now, and I won't hinder your future."
Su Xueli objected: "I'm a person of my word. Besides, I think if we work harder, we should be able to earn back the money your family has spent this month."
Wei Mingshen said sarcastically, "Then I won't hold you back in your future endeavors."
Su Xueli's eyelashes fluttered as she said, "A few more days won't make a difference."
Wei Mingshen was so angry that he almost shoved a paintbrush into her face.
Su Xueli checked the time and urged him, "Alright, it's time to sleep. I'll go boil some water to wash up."
They were so tired from staying up all night. Young people naturally need a lot of sleep, so the two of them fell asleep as soon as they lay down on the bed.
After working day and night for two days, Su Xueli and Wei Mingshen took the straw-woven handicrafts to the county department store to give to Manager Wang, naturally bringing Du Mei, who was going to the county to find a toilet paper factory, along with them.
Manager Wang was overjoyed to see the young couple arrive with the goods, laughing heartily. He said that so many people had come to the counter asking when the straw weaving would be available, and now this was perfect.
He couldn't wait to inspect the goods and pay, and before the young couple left, he called the counter staff to bring the straw handicrafts to the counter for sale.
Su Xueli and Wei Mingshen were naturally very proud to see their work so popular.
Manager Wang said, "Yan Yan just came in and ordered another batch of goods. That little girl's business is booming; she increases the quantity every time she orders, haha."
Su Xueli asked happily, "Really, Uncle? Oh my, Yan Yan is becoming more and more accomplished. But we've all been busy with our own things, and it's been a long time since we've seen each other."
Manager Wang knew about Yan Yan's family situation and said helplessly, "That child is sensible and capable, but she just has bad luck. We hope she can find a good husband and change her fate."
Su Xueli gave a wry smile.
They were going to take Du Mei to the toilet paper factory, so they chatted for a few minutes and said goodbye to Manager Wang, then went to the address Manager Gao had given them.
The toilet paper factory was in the suburbs of the county. Luckily, they were driving a mule cart; otherwise, it would have been troublesome to travel such a long distance with the children.
With Manager Gao's letter of introduction, Du Mei easily obtained 50 jin of paper.
The quality of toilet paper in those days was very poor, and it was sold by weight. The market price was 1.2 yuan per kilogram, and the wholesale price was 0.7 yuan, which meant that you made a profit of 0.5 yuan per kilogram.
You can earn 25 yuan from 50 kilograms of paper.
