Chapter 83 Li Fen escaped
Jiang Ruzhen bought her own hard-seat train ticket. By the time she arrived in Beijing, her back was almost broken, but she didn't have time to rest. She and her second brother, who had come to pick her up at the station, immediately rushed to the warehouse.
Without Jiang Ruzhen around, the second son wouldn't dare to set up a stall on his own; he simply couldn't manage the business by himself.
If even a few pieces of clothing are stolen, it wouldn't be enough to make him furious.
Jiang Ruzhen immediately rented a tricycle and, along with her second brother, took a bag of clothes to the spot he had scouted out.
It's located near Dashilan in front of the train station.
Today is Friday, and the crowds are huge. People who pre-ordered goods received advance notice that they would be setting up stalls today.
When they arrived at the location, Jiang Ruzhen had just opened the package when a dozen or so female college students suddenly surrounded her.
"When we finally got to you, we thought you weren't coming."
"Quickly get me two sets of smaller sizes, I've already registered them all."
"I was here first, can't you guys have some manners?"
"Stop pushing, you're stepping on my foot..."
Upon seeing this, Jiang Ruzhen quickly stood up to maintain order, saying, "Don't worry, everyone, don't push. I guarantee that all of you who have registered will be able to buy something."
After shouting several times, Jiang Ruzhen finally calmed these people down. She and her second brother quickly worked together, one collecting money and the other delivering the goods. The two worked in perfect harmony, and in no time, the bag of clothes they had brought was empty.
However, customers who heard the news kept coming over, and there were still about twenty sets left to be owed.
Jiang Ruzhen stood still and waited, telling her second son to hurry up and go to the warehouse to get more goods.
Only after delivering all the owed goods did the two of them have a little time to catch their breath.
The rest of the time were just people passing by, and buying one or two items wasn't as busy as before.
But the two of them didn't sit idle; they were busy until it was almost dark, and they had sold out of both large bags of clothes.
Several people still hadn't bought the goods. Jiang Ruzhen waved her hands repeatedly, saying she couldn't go on. She was so hungry that her stomach was practically touching her back, and her voice was hoarse. She couldn't work anymore.
She told her second son to tell those people to come back tomorrow.
As the crowd gradually dispersed, Jiang Ruzhen took her second son to a restaurant for dinner. The two were so tired that they had no energy to talk. When the food was served, they devoured it all in no time.
After dinner, Jiang Ruzhen and her second brother booked two private rooms at a nearby guesthouse. After entering the room, Jiang Ruzhen went straight into the space to take a bath and go to sleep.
The next morning, she asked her second son to fetch Shen Shuxin and Xie Hui to help.
Fortunately, she had the foresight to say that the girls who bought the goods yesterday spread the word when they returned to school and their workplaces, and many people came to buy them.
The scene was even more frantic than yesterday; the four of them were busy for most of the day, without even having time to drink water.
Jiang Ruzhen took a break to go to the restaurant to get food and sat down to rest for a while. At this pace, she couldn't keep up.
Physical labor should be left to younger people. Although she is physically young, her mental age cannot withstand such intense pressure.
She took a break for a while, returned the food, and had several people take turns eating. She sold food for another two hours in the afternoon, and when the number of customers gradually decreased, she decisively packed up her stall.
Even so, she has already sold more than half of the goods she bought this time.
After two days of getting to know each other, the three young people had developed a tacit understanding.
On the last day of setting up her stall, Jiang Ruzhen almost entirely shirked her duties, only taking care of the goods and collecting money.
The other tasks were all handled by the three young men, and by the end of the morning, almost all the goods had been sold out.
Jiang Ruzhen took her three children out for a barbecue to reward the three great contributors.
During the meal, the four men's faces were glowing red from the charcoal fire, and they drank some wine, chatting and laughing, creating a warm and happy atmosphere.
Jiang Ruzhen did a quick mental calculation and realized that if she doubled the profit from the 40,000 yuan worth of goods, she would make about 90,000 yuan.
It's true that money was easy to make in the 1980s. As long as you had goods, it was like picking up money everywhere.
She was happy to generously give each of her three children a 100-yuan red envelope. The second son accepted it without hesitation, knowing that his mother had probably made a lot of money this time, so he didn't stand on ceremony.
Ke Xinxin and Xie Hui, the two children, are sensible and refuse to accept anything.
Jiang Ruzhen got angry and forcibly stuffed the things into their pockets, and the two reluctantly accepted them.
This was the first time Xie Hui had earned so much money through his own labor, and he happily drank a few more cups with Jiang Ruzhen.
They were in high spirits, unaware that a pair of sinister eyes were watching them from outside the window.
Seeing how glamorous Jiang Ruzhen's family was, living a life like royalty, Li Fen was insanely jealous.
She was no match for Jiang Ruzhen when she was young. Later, she finally saw some hope, but her husband died, and Jiang Ruzhen was fired and stigmatized.
Over the years, she has treated Jiang Ruzhen like a dog, watching her struggle and risk her life to raise her daughter.
Her family worked like slaves to earn money for her, and she lived a life that was practically paradise.
Cola turned to sorrow. She had only enjoyed a few years of happiness when that bitch ruined it all.
Why did she need to know the truth? Why did that girl Qin Lanlan tell the truth?
After pondering it over and over for so many days, she finally realized that it was all Jiang Ruzhen's conspiracy.
From the moment Qin Lanlan was released and returned home, she had already fallen into the trap set by Jiang Ruzhen.
Unfortunately, she was off guard at the time and didn't realize what was going on.
She resolutely refused to admit that Jiang Ruzhen, that bitch, had developed a brain and was capable of scheming against her. She simply believed that all her suffering was caused by Jiang Ruzhen, and that she must pay the price.
Including this time when her son became addicted to gambling and sold his old mother without any mercy, Jiang Ruzhen must have been involved in it.
What kind of life did she lead after being sold into that village of bachelors?
Every day I am tormented by different men, all kinds of strange shapes and sizes, young and old.
They were all devils who didn't care about her life or death. Later, she discovered that her genitals were rotten and she didn't know what kind of filthy disease she had contracted.
She was dying, but she hadn't gotten her revenge yet, and she was unwilling to accept it.
Later, she actually came up with a good idea: to cooperate with the village chief.
They would go to big cities to abduct young girls who came out to work, and then lure them to bachelor villages to become wives of men who couldn't find wives, and have their children.
After deceiving five girls, the village chief gradually began to trust her and stopped keeping a close watch on her, which allowed her to seize the opportunity to escape.
She originally wanted to settle scores with Jiang Ruzhen, but felt that tormenting her wasn't enough, so she set her sights on Shen Shuxin.
If she could lure Shen Shuxin to that village of bachelors, it would be tantamount to taking half of Jiang Ruzhen's life.
Once Jiang Ruzhen is captured and tortured half to death, she will be sent to that bachelor village so that she and her daughter can serve those devils together.
Thinking of this, Li Fen couldn't help but let out a strange, snickering laugh.
She followed the group and discovered that Jiang Ruzhen and the second brother dropped Shen Shuxin and another boy off at the school gate before leaving.
Li Fen's eyes widened; her chance had come.
She straightened her tattered clothes and asked the gatekeeper to help find Shen Shuxin, saying that her mother from the countryside had come to see her.
Shen Shuxin had just taken the drunk Xie Hui back home when she returned to the girls' dormitory and was stopped by the dormitory supervisor, who said that her mother was looking for her at the school gate.
Shen Shuxin had no suspicions and thought that Jiang Ruzhen had forgotten to tell her something, so she hurriedly ran out again.
But when she went out of the school gate, she didn't see Jiang Ruzhen but saw Li Fen, and her expression immediately changed.
He stepped forward warily and asked, "Li Fen, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"
Jiang Ruzhen had never told Shen Shuxin about Li Fen's situation, as she always believed that Li Fen and Qin Liang were still living peacefully in Liancheng.
The mother couldn't do anything about it; she didn't know that Li Fen had been sold by Qin Liang.
“Xin Xin, I really had no other choice but to come to you. Although I made many mistakes in the past, Qin Lanlan is still my daughter. She didn’t do anything wrong!”
She used to be your sister, but now she's been tormented to the point of near death by that old man Hu. She has no money for treatment, so I have no choice but to come to you to borrow some.
Please, for Lanlan's sake, give me some money...
As Li Fen was speaking, she was about to kneel down when Shen Shuxin quickly dodged to the side.
Although she was somewhat soft-hearted, she could distinguish right from wrong. Regardless of whether Qin Lanlan had orchestrated her scheme last time, she had done something unforgivable to herself.
She couldn't lend him the money. Shen Shuxin shook her head. "I don't have any money. I can't lend it to you."
Upon hearing this, Li Fen burst into tears, "You ungrateful brat, why can't you lend me your money?"
She seemed to have collapsed as she grabbed Shen Shuxin's arm and repeatedly slapped her face with her hands.
Despite her attempts to dodge, Shen Shuxin was still pounced on several times, and she gradually began to feel dizzy.
Her body slowly fell down, and Li Fen caught her and pulled her onto a tricycle parked by the roadside.
The security guard had been keeping an eye on the situation, and when he saw someone faint, he rushed out to ask what happened.
Li Fen cried and said that her daughter probably fainted from shock when she heard that her father was sick, and she had to take her to the hospital.
The security guard sighed as he helped Li Fen lift Shen Shuxin into the car.
He kindly told Li Fen not to make things difficult for the child, and Li Fen repeatedly agreed. She urged the man on the bicycle to leave quickly, and just like that, she took the person away right under the gatekeeper's nose.
When Jiang Ruzhen woke up at the guesthouse the next day, she had a splitting headache.
She quickly drank several bottles of spiritual spring water and her condition improved. Her original plan for today was to go back to Liancheng with her second brother after dinner.
There are still nearly 10,000 worth of goods waiting for her to go back and process!
"Clang, clang, clang."
She had just finished washing up and was about to go out to find her second brother for dinner when she heard a series of urgent knocks on the door.
