Chapter 34 The Price War Begins
Ruan Fu rode her bike to the entrance of the textile factory and called out "Big Brother". The security guard already knew her and didn't stop her at all.
Wu Jianping came out with a smile, "Afu, you're here so early again today."
Ruan Fu smiled sweetly, called out "Brother Wu", and started unloading the goods quickly.
Ruan Lanxiang watched with her own eyes as the dead girl traveled smoothly all the way, her eyes filled with jealousy.
Look! She flirted with him, and it turned out that she hooked up with him. No wonder she can make so much money.
Otherwise, the entrance to the textile factory is heavily guarded, and ordinary people can't get in at all. Why can this little bitch come in and out freely?
Ruan Lanxiang gritted her teeth, jealousy almost made her lose her mind.
Ruan Fu is so secretive, isn't she afraid that someone will steal her business? But she wants to steal it!
In her opinion, she has a strong body and is much better looking than Ruan Fu, who looks like a bean sprout.
Since that man likes Ruan Fu, he must also like me. As long as Ruan Lanxiang also starts selling mulberry leaves, how can Ruan Fu have room to make money?
As long as she earns a few days' worth of money, she can probably afford a bicycle...
Thinking of this, Ruan Lanxiang already had an idea in her mind. She sneered and turned away.
Ruan Fu came out of the textile factory and just saw Ruan Lanxiang leaving with a huff in her mouth.
She was too lazy to pay attention and rode her bike in the opposite direction.
Today is the day that her uncle Chen Qiang will come to pick her up. She has stayed in Lotus Village long enough and has almost used up all the resources.
I touched the banknotes in my pocket and calculated that I had earned about 100 yuan during this period.
Wu Jianping, who was in charge of purchasing, was very nice to her. Just now, when she casually mentioned that someone in the village was jealous, he patted his chest and assured her again that he would only accept the mulberry leaves she brought.
This time I can earn 25 yuan just by selling mulberry leaves, and if I add some scattered sales of medicinal herbs, I can make almost 30 yuan.
If I continue like this, I won’t have to worry about my living expenses in my senior year of high school, and maybe I can even do something else.
Thinking of this, she felt full of energy and her life was still promising!
Ruan Lanxiang returned to the village excitedly with the idea of getting rich, and ran into Aunt Hu.
"Lanxiang, what happened? Why are you smiling so happily?"
Ruan Lanxiang laughed and said, "Aunt, thanks to your advice, I went to the city with you. Now I have figured it all out and plan to start harvesting mulberry leaves."
When Aunt Hu heard this, instead of praising her, she frowned. "Lanxiang, I'm not trying to discourage you, but everything has a first come, first served basis. Now everyone's picking mulberry leaves and sending them to Fu, why are you competing with them?"
Ruan Lanxiang hadn't really thought about this before. She was stunned for a moment and asked, "Then what do you say, auntie?"
Aunt Hu rolled her eyes. "If you ask me, who picks mulberry leaves? It's to sell them for more money. When you buy them, your price is one cent higher than hers, and when you sell them, your price is one cent lower than hers. Even though you make less money at first, you've naturally surpassed hers."
Ruan Lanxiang was embarrassed. "That would cost a lot of money. I'm afraid my family doesn't have that much..."
Aunt Hu looked mysterious. "It's definitely available now. Your sister-in-law took Zhiguo to the county town to visit his father a few days ago. Before she left, she left the tuition money with your mother. You can use it first, and when you make money, you can pay it back double."
Ruan Lanxiang clapped her hands and nodded repeatedly, "Sister-in-law is right. I'll go back and ask my mom for the money!"
She couldn't wait to see Ruan Fu get into trouble, so she rushed back home immediately.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else at home, Ruan Lanxiang immediately started whispering in Old Lady Ruan's ear.
"Mom, I just followed that little bitch into the city. She's really doing business. I know all the ways. As long as you give me the capital, I will definitely do better than her."
Old Lady Ruan frowned, "Girl, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
Ruan Lanxiang held her hand, her eyes shining, and she vowed, "Mom, it doesn't matter if you don't understand. I know what's going on. Give me some money first, and I'll learn from Ruan Fu to collect mulberry leaves. I guarantee I can earn more."
Old Mrs. Ruan took a lot of effort and finally understood what her daughter was thinking.
I didn't expect that the little bitch Ruan Fu was doing business behind the scenes. No wonder she suddenly had money to buy a bicycle. The initial capital was probably stolen from home. Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Ruan felt that she had suffered a great loss.
"Mom, please trust me this time. If that little bitch can do it, I can definitely do it better!" Ruan Lanxiang was afraid that the other party would not agree, so she just started to act coquettishly.
Old Mrs. Ruan was so annoyed by her that she had no choice but to support her daughter in whatever she wanted to do.
Gritting my teeth, I asked, "How much?"
It costs six cents to collect a pound of mulberry leaves. I plan to collect more than 200 pounds, and I have to add the round-trip travel expenses...
Ruan Lanxiang calculated for a long time and said, "Twenty yuan will be enough."
Twenty dollars? That's a lot of money!
Although the person who spoke was her own daughter, Old Mrs. Ruan felt a little painful because this was not a small amount of money.
A large family in the countryside couldn't earn that much money by farming for a year.
Old Mrs. Ruan could only shake her head and said, "Lanxiang, it's not that Mom is reluctant, but I really don't have that much money on hand."
Ruan Lanxiang wouldn't give up so easily. She couldn't help but continue to persuade him, "Mom, didn't my sister-in-law leave Zhiguo's tuition with you? Why don't you use it first? I'll sell the mulberry leaves and pay you back double."
Old Mrs. Ruan was a little hesitant. Her daughter's explanation was simple, but if the money was not returned, how would she explain it to the eldest brother's family?
Ruan Lanxiang knew the other party's concerns and quickly patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I promise it's okay. Think about it, Ruan Fu even bought a bicycle, which shows how much money she can make selling mulberry leaves. I'm definitely not worse off than her. When the time comes, I'll give you all the money I make and let you spend it however you want."
You can spend it however you want? Old Mrs. Ruan was overjoyed when she heard this and immediately stood up and said, "Okay, Mom will get the money for you."
Sun Hongxia was very jealous when she heard this outside.
She had only paid some grain as compensation, but Old Lady Ruan beat and scolded her, and even withheld her rations. Her daughter Hong Xing hit her head against a pillar, and blood was flowing from her forehead, but Old Lady Ruan refused to pay for medical treatment.
As a result, as soon as Ruan Lanxiang opened her mouth, Old Mrs. Ruan wanted to spend all her family assets.
There was a flash of resentment in her eyes. The difference in the way Old Lady Ruan treated her younger generations was so obvious that it was really disheartening.
Ruan Fu had just returned to the village entrance on her bicycle when she bumped into Ruan Lanxiang who was pushing a cart and shouting loudly.
"It's time to harvest mulberry leaves. The purchase price is six cents per pound."
A woman came over and asked curiously, "Didn't they charge five cents a pound yesterday? Why did the price suddenly go up?"
Ruan Lanxiang was eager for the question and said with a smile, "Auntie, some people are just heartless and only want to make more money. Otherwise, how could they afford a bicycle so quickly? I'm a real person and wouldn't do such a shady thing."
As soon as these words were spoken, people started talking about it all around.
"It turns out that girl Fu is deliberately charging a low price to make dirty money."
"I was wondering how you could afford a bicycle so quickly. Looks like you made a lot of money."
The villagers who were delighted a few days ago because Ruan Fu bought their mulberry leaves are now alienated from Ruan Fu.
A moment later.
Everyone surrounded Ruan Lanxiang at once.
"I'll sell you mulberry leaves!"
"And me, I have mulberry leaves to sell too!"
The price is there, and everyone obviously prefers to sell it for more money.
Ruan Fu happened to pass by the crowd. Ruan Lanxiang was so busy that she looked up and glared at her provocatively, with pride in her eyes.
