Chapter 74 Selling Crafts
Song Rui was amused by her appearance, "What are you thinking about? The work is not finished yet, why should I not use you? It's just a New Year's gift."
"Hey, that's fine, that's fine."
Xiao Ru laughed, and Song Rui asked, "Are you so happy to be able to work?"
"Of course I'm happy." Xiaoru kept working and said, "If I could work and earn money, I wouldn't be married off so early."
Song Rui was stunned, remembering that this was now the norm.
In the 1990s, most families had not yet considered splitting up the family business.
Before the interests of all, personal happiness is not so cared about.
When a girl grows up, she either has to get married quickly or earn money on her own and contribute to the household expenses like her brothers.
Seems fair.
But the family's resources are mostly biased towards boys, and schooling and job arrangements are all prioritized over older brothers.
It is not easy for girls to provide household support like them.
Most of them have to find a temporary job like Xiaoru and earn a meager salary.
After paying the household expenses, I have nothing left.
"Sister, I didn't tell them that I was fired. You paid me a lot. If I can work a few more days, I can save up a month's salary for them and still have some left for myself."
Song Rui asked: "How old are you this year? Why is your family urging you to get married?"
"I have an older brother and a younger brother. My older brother is married, but my younger brother is not. There is limited space at home. Ever since my sister-in-law came into the family, I have been urged to get married. Fortunately, I can earn money, so my grandmother can stop them for me."
Xiaoru spoke in a normal tone, as if she had long been accustomed to it and didn't take it seriously.
But being intentionally expelled by his family, and being just in his early twenties, it is impossible for him to really not care.
"But this is not a solution. You still have a younger brother. What if he wants to get married? Have you thought about what to do in the future?"
Xiao Ru shook her head blankly, "I don't know either. I just don't want to get married so early. As for what I want to do in the future, I don't know. I don't know why I don't want to get married either. I only know that once I get married, it seems that I can see the end of my life at a glance. I will live a muddled life like my other sisters. That's not what I want."
Song Rui still likes the girl in front of her very much.
She is clever, smart, and has a cute and harmless little round face.
It is difficult to obtain information and be exposed to new ideas in this era.
She couldn't think of what kind of life she wanted, but she would refuse a life she didn't want, which was a rare courage.
Song Rui really needs someone, and he is willing to help her.
"Then if you're willing, you can continue to work with me after this job is done. I'm going to find a stall to do wholesale, and I need a salesperson to sell the goods. In addition to the basic salary, there will be commissions, which is definitely higher than your previous salary."
"Really? That's great!"
Xiaoru's eyes lit up with joy.
The joy of being with the right boss is no less than that of being with the right man.
But Song Rui's expression was a little serious. "But you have to remember to save some money for yourself. Only when you have money in your pocket can you have choices and think about how to live in the future."
"Yes! Sister, I will listen to you!"
There is one more person called sister.
Song Rui didn't feel any pressure, she really needed someone.
After all, there is a lot to do.
Thinking of the two people on the first floor opposite the Agricultural University, Song Rui felt that she had to go and ask as soon as possible.
If she could replace the doors with windows now, she would plan to sell pork trotter rice to Song Hua in one room and open a milk tea shop in the other.
You also need to find a stall quickly.
This batch of goods is small, she will definitely sell them out after going around.
But as the subsequent goods became larger and larger, she still had to find a stall and make Liangmu famous.
There was also the incident where Ling Ye sold meat sauce worth twenty yuan for two thousand yuan.
This reminded Song Rui of the legend of exchanging canned food for an airplane.
She's not that ambitious and doesn't need a plane.
But it’s still possible to change to a detached villa, right?
While Song Rui was making a fire, she wrote down the things that needed to be done next.
Ling Ye leaned over and saw a long, densely packed line.
He had a headache, wondering what changes had occurred that made his wife suddenly become so career-oriented.
A sense of crisis crept up my spine.
Ling Ye felt that he couldn't fall behind.
It would be too embarrassing to be overtaken by my own wife.
No, no, absolutely not.
There are still a dozen days before the Chinese New Year, and Ling Ye originally planned to go to Su State after the New Year.
But now I feel that ten days is enough for them to make a round trip.
As long as we hurry, we can get back before the New Year.
It's just this stuff...
When Xiaoru saw Ling Ye at home, she would leave without eating dinner, as if she was afraid of disturbing their family of three.
Song Rui knew that she would feel uncomfortable if she stayed with him, so she packed a portion for her in a lunch box and asked her to take it home.
A kang table was placed on the ground, with a dish of braised beef and potatoes in the middle, and Song Rui's stir-fried cabbage with black fungus and vinegar next to it.
This dish is Song Rui's favorite, Nan Nan also likes it, but Ling Ye won't touch it.
He hates the taste of vinegar in food.
Afraid that he wouldn't eat the vegetables, Song Rui specially mixed a cucumber for him.
During the meal, Song Rui was a little surprised when she heard Ling Ye say that he wanted to visit Su Country again before the New Year.
"Didn't you say you would leave after the New Year? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Ling Ye was embarrassed to say that he was afraid of being caught up by her.
He just said nonchalantly: "It's because the adults and children in the family spend too much. If we don't earn more, we won't be able to support them."
Song Rui ignored what he said and put a piece of meat in his bowl, "Or leather shoes?"
“I haven’t decided yet.”
Song Rui was keenly aware of something, "What happened? Is it because of Boss Liang?"
Ling Ye looked up at her, not expecting her to guess so accurately.
"Well, I didn't see him before he came to me, but I heard a few days ago that he shipped all the leather shoes he had recently collected to the Soviet Union. The quantity was large, and he sold them cheaper than us."
Song Rui understood, "He is trying to compete with you."
He has many people and sources of goods, and his business is so big, but now he is eyeing the cake in Ling Ye's hand.
Apart from seeing Ling Ye making money, it was probably because he disobeyed supervision.
Like killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, Boss Liang wanted people to see that those who dared to oppose his monopoly would not have a good ending.
Ling Ye: "He has a large volume of goods and keeps the price low. And there's Chen Erliang who would make things difficult for me even if he doesn't make any money. The leather shoe business is not going well."
Or it's not just the leather shoe business.
As soon as he goes to buy some goods, I'm afraid Boss Liang will follow suit.
Unless he gives in and continues to make money with Boss Liang.
But there was no way he would bow to him.
After Officer Ye's reminder, it was even less likely that he would get involved with Boss Liang.
Song Rui thought for a moment and said, "Unless you have an exclusive source of goods and your own products."
It depends on wealth, manpower and purchase volume.
Ling Ye, who worked alone with two brothers, was no match for the local tyrant.
The only thing that can be compared is the product itself.
The original thought was infinitely magnified in Song Rui's mind.
She excitedly grabbed Ling Ye's hand and said, "I understand. We don't sell goods, we sell our craftsmanship!"
"craft?"
“Yes, it’s the craft.”
