Wild ways?" Ye Li smiled gently. Fang Ning and her had always had a good relationship, so she asked so directly right away.
"You studied accounting, so you can tell at a glance. I won't hide it from you. This is the account book sent by a relative in the village, and I am just helping them look at it. On weekdays, they also need my help with some things, and I help to sign and act as a matchmaker, and they give me a reward for my hard work."
Fang Ning understood instantly and the corners of his lips curved up.
"What my relatives in the village do is somewhat related to clothing. If you need any help or need any clothes in the future, just let me know. If I can help, I will definitely get it for you! There is no ambiguity on this!" Ye Li continued.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Fang Ning laughed. "I knew you were good to me! Don't worry, sister-in-law. If anything good happens, I'll be thinking of you. If you need pork in the future, or if anyone needs it, just tell me. In fact, many people in the factory can't finish the portion they got, and some can't bear to eat it. Many people sell it on the black market. If you need it, sister-in-law, I can help find it."
"Okay. With you in our family, we won't have to worry about eating meat anymore."
"With you and me in our family, does that mean we don't have to worry about food and clothing?"
Both of them understood the meaning of each other's words and smiled at each other.
"Why not?" Ye Li said with a smile, "I still need your help with today's matter. You have to show me your professional accounting skills. If you help me solve the problem, I will treat you to a good meal!"
...
...
"Look at what you said? We are sisters-in-law and friends. If I can help, I will definitely do my best. It would be awkward to bring food."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work then."
Fang Ning went through the account book carefully and put forward several opinions. Ye Li nodded as she listened. Fang Ning's opinions just confirmed Ye Li's thoughts. It seemed that the two of them had the same views on the problems in the account book, but Fang Ning's explanation was more professional.
After some discussion, the two finally decided on a solution.
"You are such an amazing professional!" Ye Li gave Fang Ning a thumbs up.
"Sister-in-law, don't be so modest. You have already discovered the problem in the account book."
After Fang Ning finished speaking, he winked at Ye Li. Seeing Fang Ning's expression, Ye Li smiled knowingly.
Fang Ning and Ye Li were talking and laughing in the house, but they didn't know that there was someone lying on the door outside and eavesdropping on their conversation.
Zhang Yulian was originally looking for Ye Li. When she arrived at the door and was about to knock, she heard the conversation between Fang Ning and Ye Li.
Although she didn't hear it clearly, she heard something like "meat and cloth". Zhang Yulian was more convinced that Ye Li had other ways to make money.
"Yulian, what are you doing at your sister-in-law's door?" Zhao Xingmei happened to pass by and asked when she saw Zhang Yulian standing in front of Ye Li's door.
"Oh, auntie. I'm free now, and I thought my sister-in-law was not feeling well, so I wanted to go to her room to see if there was anything she needed to change and wash, so I could help her wash it." Zhang Yulian trembled all over when Zhao Xingmei called her, and her heart was beating wildly. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and found an excuse to get away with it.
"Then why don't you go in?"
"I was afraid that my sister-in-law was resting and I would disturb her. So I hesitated whether to knock on the door..."
"Who's outside?"
Ye Li heard someone talking outside, and the voice sounded like Zhang Yulian.
"Aunt, my sister-in-law hasn't rested yet, I'll go in now."
"Go ahead."
Zhang Yulian knocked on the door several times and replied, "Sister-in-law, it's me, Yulian."
"Wait a moment, I'll open the door for you." Ye Li held her belly and slowly stood up to open the door. Fang Ning saw that she was clumsy and inconvenient, so she motioned for Ye Li to sit down and she went to open the door.
"Sister Fang Ning is here too." Zhang Yulian said in pretended surprise.
"Yes. Let's have a few words with my sister-in-law. Come on in."
When Zhang Yulian entered the room, she found Ye Li putting a notebook back into the cabinet and then locking it. She stared at the cabinet, imagining that the notebook must contain the secret of Ye Li's money-making!
"Yu Lian is here, have some soda." Ye Li put his notebook away, sat back in his seat, picked up his soda and handed it to Yu Lian.
"No, no, Sister Fang Ning also brought me a bottle. Thank you sisters-in-law for thinking of me."
"Yulian, do you have something to talk to me about?" Ye Li looked at Zhang Yulian. Ever since Yulian entered the door, he had been staring at the cabinet where the notebooks were placed. His eyes almost penetrated the cabinet.
Hearing Ye Li's words, Zhang Yulian quickly retracted her gaze. She looked at Ye Li with a guilty conscience, fearing that her previous behavior had exposed her inner thoughts.
"Sister-in-law, I'm embarrassed to say this, but I really have no choice. I just came here with a thick face." Zhang Yulian blushed after she said this, looking very embarrassed.
Zhang Yulian paused for a moment and continued.
"I have tried to find a lot of jobs recently, but due to my household registration problem, none of them worked out. The only jobs left are some that require physical labor. I want to see if there are any other ways that my sister-in-law can help me. I don't mind the low wages, as long as I can make some money. And I am very tight-lipped. I won't say a word that I shouldn't say!" Zhang Yulian said as she looked up at Ye Li, her eyes red and she looked pitiful.
Zhang Yulian has indeed been looking for a job seriously for more than half a year, but the final results were not satisfactory. Anyone who has not found a job for such a long time would feel very uncomfortable.
Ye Li also knew that Zhang Yulian was having trouble finding a job, but there was no suitable job for her at the moment.
Although she needed people to deal in clothing, Ye Li did not intend to let Zhang Yulian get involved so early. After all, Zhang Yulian was young and inexperienced. She was not calm when encountering things.
Ye Li was worried that Zhang Yulian would accidentally leak out the information about her clothing business, and then they would all be finished.
After two years when things are stable and policies are relaxed, Ye Li plans to bring Zhang Yulian to the factory. But that will be two years later, and he doesn't know if Zhang Yulian can wait.
"Oh... I'm sorry, Yulian. My sister-in-law really doesn't have a suitable job right now. Fang Ning, do you have any? Can you help Yulian keep an eye out for them?" Ye Li sighed with regret. Although she wanted to help Zhang Yulian, there was no good job to recommend to her right now.
"Okay. I'll keep an eye out for you, too. Don't worry, there will definitely be a job that suits you."
"Well, yes."
Seeing Zhang Yulian lowering her head, Ye Li knew that she was upset, so he reached out and patted her shoulder, hoping that she would not be discouraged.
"I know it's useless to worry, but my mother and I have lived with my aunt for a long time. I feel bad for eating and drinking for free without paying. If I can find a job, I plan to move out with my mother. This way, we won't have to squeeze together and we can live more comfortably."
When Ye Li and Fang Ning heard what Zhang Yulian said, they understood that this little girl didn't want to add any more burden to their family.
"Yulian, don't worry. I'll help you find out in the next two days and tell you as soon as I have any news."
After hearing Fang Ning and Ye Li's answers, Zhang Yulian stopped talking. She lowered her head and clasped her fingers vigorously. She felt an indescribable bitterness and loss in her heart.
She didn't ask Ye Li to be as honest with her as he was with Fang Ning, but at least he could take her with him to earn some money to support the family.
But Ye Li had no intention of helping her make money. She didn't believe that Ye Li couldn't understand the meaning of her words.
It seems that in the sister-in-law's heart, she is an unreliable outsider after all.
She had three days left to give Hao Ying a reply, and she didn't know if she could still get good news from Fang Ning.
Since she couldn't get any help from Ye Li, Zhang Yulian didn't plan to say anything more.
She quickly adjusted her mood, put everything that happened just now in her heart, and returned to her usual well-behaved appearance.
"Sister-in-law, you've been feeling unwell lately. Just leave anything that needs washing to me. I don't have anything to do anyway." Zhang Yulian said as she saw some clothes that Ye Li had placed beside the bed and was about to take them away to wash.
"No, no, I can wash it myself."
"Oh. I'll be out first then."
Zhang Yulian was about to leave when Ye Li called her. Zhang Yulian was delighted, thinking that Ye Li had changed his mind and wanted to take her with him to make money. So she smiled and looked at Ye Li with expectant eyes.
Ye Li handed her a pack of biscuits and said:
"The peach cakes your brother-in-law bought are delicious. I'll bring some for you."
Zhang Yulian's eyes suddenly darkened, and she tried hard to keep a smile on her face so that others would not notice her abnormality.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
"You're welcome. Go ahead and do your work."
Zhang Yulian left Ye Li's room. She raised her hand, took a look at the bag of peach biscuits in her hand, and squeezed it hard. The peach biscuits were immediately crushed to pieces, and the biscuit crumbs leaked out through the gap in the packaging bag.
It turns out that in the sister-in-law's mind, a bag of peach cookies is enough to get rid of her!
