“Yes, Grandpa, my grandma hid the money in her pillow. I spotted it right away. Here you go.” Zhou Jiaxiang pulled out a bundle of ten-yuan notes from his clothes and handed it to Ding Yougui.
"Good boy, your mother didn't raise you for nothing." Ding Yougui took the money and said lovingly, "If you ever need any help in the future, just send a message to your maternal grandfather's house. If your father dares to hit you, your maternal grandfather will break his legs."
“Okay, Grandpa. Keep this money at your house for now, and I can ask you for it if I need it later.” Zhou Jiaxiang nodded vigorously.
"Okay. Come visit Grandpa's sometime." Ding Yougui put the money in his pocket, waved to Zhou Jiaxiang, and walked away.
Watching Ding Yougui's departing figure, Zhou Jiaxiang felt very happy.
Grandpa was the smartest. He told him to go and take all of Grandma's money.
His grandma ran out of money, so his dad couldn't marry a stepmother.
In the future, his father will depend on him for old age, so he wouldn't dare to treat his son, who is the head of the family, badly.
Eight-year-old Zhou Jiaxiang was unaware of the wickedness of human nature.
If Ding Yougui and Hu Xinghua could raise a lazy, greedy, and selfish Ding Xiaocui, how could they themselves be selfless?
Ding Yougui caught up with the group, while Hu Xinghua lagged a few steps behind and quietly asked, "How did it go?"
"Got it," Ding Yougui said casually.
"That's great." A hint of joy flashed across Hu Xinghua's face.
"Don't talk nonsense when you get back," Ding Yougui warned.
"No way," Hu Xinghua replied, but couldn't resist her curiosity and asked, "If Jiaxiang comes back for money in a few years, will you really give it to him?"
"Hmph!" Ding Yougui sneered and said, "What money? You saw it? I certainly didn't."
"Yes, yes, old man, you're the best." Hu Xinghua smiled broadly.
Perfect timing, my eldest grandson will be of marriageable age in a few years.
With this money, Xiao Cui's death wouldn't have been in vain.
Peach Blossom Town.
Time is like sand slipping through your fingers; it vanishes in the blink of an eye.
In the past two weeks, Zhao Zhenzhu's hair accessory business has been booming.
Huang Xiuhong is very good at organizing. After Huang Xiuhong joined the production team, the number of hair ties produced each day increased to more than three times the previous amount.
After getting engaged, He Bo worked like crazy to make money, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Erniu stayed in Qingshan County to set up a stall, while He Bo, along with a few other young men, sold hair ties in several surrounding counties and cities.
In the past two weeks, Zhao Zhenzhu has been earning several thousand yuan every day.
With the increased workload, Zhao Zhenzhu hired two of her aunts as quality inspectors.
As for Wu Meiyun, Zhao Zhenzhu put her in charge of distributing materials and paying wages, with a monthly salary of one hundred yuan.
Zhao Zhenzhu wanted to pay Wu Meiyun a higher salary, but Wu Meiyun refused.
However, making money is not the happiest thing for Zhao Zhenzhu.
What pleased Zhao Zhenzhu the most was the significant change in the "withered tree branches" in her space.
What was originally a grayish-brown dead branch has now become a normal "green branch". Although it is still only as thick as a finger, at least it doesn't look lifeless anymore.
The changes in the withered tree branches were discovered by Zhao Zhenzhu after she entered the space on the night Zhou Bingchen left Peach Blossom Town.
At that time, the "dead tree branch" had just shed its brown appearance and turned light green.
Moreover, what was originally one bud has turned into three.
At the time, Zhao Zhenzhu was very curious.
What could have caused such a dramatic change in the withered tree branch?
Will her withered tree one day grow into a towering tree?
With this thought in mind, Zhao Zhenzhu stayed up half the night, standing by the "green tree branch" looking and looking.
As a result, after looking for a long time, the branches didn't change at all.
Finally, Zhao Zhenzhu stopped worrying about it, casually poured a ladle of water on the tree branch, and went out of the space to sleep.
All she needs to know is that it's a good thing for a dead tree to come back to life; as for why this change happened, does that matter?
Even if she figured out the source of the change, there's not necessarily anything she could do.
It would be better to just ignore everything like before!
Zhao Zhenzhu had a premonition that if something really happened, she would definitely be able to unravel the secret of the withered tree branch.
The next day, when Zhao Zhenzhu entered the space, she burst out laughing.
The branches underwent another change; all three buds burst open and turned into three teardrop-shaped leaves.
Could it be that the ladle of water worked?
With this in mind, from then on, Zhao Zhenzhu would water the twig with a ladle of water every night before going to bed.
Just as Zhao Zhenzhu had hoped, the leaves grew bigger little by little.
Zhao Zhenzhu felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
This is her sapling, a sapling that she has carefully nurtured and grown!
On this day, He Bo came to find Zhao Zhenzhu.
"Sister, recently several stalls selling hair ties have appeared in the county town, and they're five cents cheaper each than ours. What should we do? Should we lower our prices too?" He Bo asked.
He Bo's expression was rather unpleasant.
They started the hair tie business, but those who followed suit sold them for less. Isn't that taking away their livelihood?
“Let’s lower the price!” Zhao Zhenzhu said after thinking for a moment.
The technique of using hair ties is too simple; Zhao Zhenzhu knew long ago that people would follow suit.
When a copycat product appears, it must be sold at a lower price to attract customers.
People nowadays are very frugal and careful with their money.
Given the same quality, people will definitely choose the cheaper hair tie.
If Zhao Zhenzhu and her team don't lower the price, the remaining hair ties will likely be stuck with them.
"Sister, Liangzi knows the area well in the county. How about I have him call a few people to warn them? As long as the price is the same, we..." He Bo suggested.
