Chapter 80 Chapter 80 Just to let him know
Donglan's mother shouted that day that she wanted to go to the county town to find the judge to make a decision for her, but in the end she didn't go.
She called a mediator from the town, either the police station or somewhere else, to go to Zhao Hongli's house to help mediate.
After the two parties reached a settlement, people in the town finally realized that Donglan and Zhao Hongli were a legitimate couple. Their marriage was called a de facto marriage, which was recognized by the law.
But Donglan got married and ran away with someone else. Her family probably received a lot of money from others and refused to tell us where she was.
After mediation, they were willing to talk, but when they found the place, the people there said that the man had taken Donglan away and they didn't know where he went.
All systems are not connected to the Internet right now, and she didn't come back by herself. It's really hard to find her. She went to another place and changed her appearance, and no one knows about it.
In addition, Zhao Hongli wanted money, so finally a solution that both parties could accept was decided. Donglan's family gave half of the betrothal gift they received to Zhao Hongli.
They had spent a lot on the betrothal gifts and couldn't even afford half of it, so they only gave 1,000 yuan in cash and used their refrigerator and washing machine to pay the rest.
Zhao Ruyue was busy with things at the store and didn't go to see it. She only heard that the problem was solved after they found someone to mediate.
It was only today when my daughter told me about it that I learned that Zhao Silian's family has a refrigerator and a washing machine.
I don’t know whether I should be happy for her: “At least it will be much easier for her to wash clothes in the future.”
Donglan is not around, and Zhao Hongli is not good at doing housework, so his housework will definitely fall on Zhao Silian.
Cooking and cleaning are not so difficult as they don’t require much physical strength, but without a washing machine, it would be very difficult to wash clothes in winter.
"No," Ning Shixia told Zhao Ruyue, "Sister Silian said that her father thinks the refrigerator and washing machine consume too much electricity and doesn't want to pay so much electricity bill, so he doesn't let her use them. It seems that he is planning to sell them. Mom, how about we buy Sister Silian's refrigerator? It will definitely be much cheaper than buying a new one."
Zhao Ruyue was unwilling to deal with Zhao Hongli: "That won't work. It's not appropriate for us to buy a refrigerator to open a store. We have to buy a freezer."
"Would you like to buy the square freezer with a lid that they use to freeze ice cream and drinks at the canteen?"
"Yes, that kind can hold more things."
"Will our family be able to sell ice cream and drinks by then?" Ning Shixia looked at her expectantly.
Zhao Ruyue suddenly had an idea. It was okay for her family to sell drinks, but it was not quite appropriate to sell ice cream. Ice cream was more suitable to be sold in a convenience store, or sold in small quantities by people with little capital.
Zhao Silian belongs to the latter, but I don’t know if she dares to use the refrigerator behind Zhao Hong’s back.
If she dared, she could earn some pocket money before Zhao Hongli sold the refrigerator.
Before the matter was settled, Zhao Ruyue did not tell the two children: "We will not sell ice cream at home. If you like it, I can wholesale some for you to keep at home."
She planned to wait for her own refrigerator to be delivered home, and when she went to wholesale ice cream, she would wholesale some cheap sugar water ice bags and salt water popsicles, and then ask Zhao Silian.
If she doesn't dare, she can just keep it for her family to eat slowly.
Zhao Ruyue was planning this in her mind, but she didn't know that the two clever guys in her family had the same idea as her.
She was also very proactive. When she went to the county town to choose a freezer, she had already started planning with Zhao Silian.
The three children discussed the matter with their heads together.
Ning Shiqiu asked Zhao Silian: "Silian, has your father found someone to buy your refrigerator?"
Zhao Silian said, "No, my dad wanted to sell the refrigerator and washing machine, but my uncle didn't seem to want him to sell them. He wanted to take the refrigerator and washing machine to his house and use them. He said that I should let my aunt help me and my dad wash clothes in the future. I heard them quarreling for a few words before I came out."
"Your uncle still has this idea?" Ning Shiqiu was a little surprised. What he heard and saw before were the adults and Silian's aunt saying how good Silian's uncle was to his father and how selfless he was.
"My uncle said that he helped my dad move those things back, and he was entitled to use them. My dad said that those were compensations from my mom's family. If he hadn't said that he wanted money but not people, even if these things were moved back home, they would have been moved away by my grandma's family," Zhao Silian scratched her head. "I think what they said makes sense. Adults' affairs are too hard to understand."
Ning Shixia felt that all those twists and turns were really troublesome: "We are children. We won't understand adult matters until we grow up, but we still have so much time to grow up. If we don't understand, then we don't understand. Anyway, not understanding won't hinder us from making popsicles."
"That's right!" Ning Shiqiu opened the old-fashioned iron thermos bottle with a bright red body and a peony flower printed on it. "I asked my dad to cook mung bean soup today. Let's try to make popsicles today."
He told his sister last night that he wanted to drink mung bean soup today, so his father made a big pot of it tonight. The two of them waited for the mung bean soup to cool down a little, put it in a thermos and then secretly took it out.
"There's a lot of mung bean soup in a thermos. Silian, why don't you drink a bowl first?" Ning Shiqiu said as he used the lid of the thermos as a bowl and poured her a bowl.
Before Zhao Silian could stop him, he had already fallen.
Before she could say no, Ning Shixia said, "We don't have many popsicle molds. If each person drinks a bowl, the rest will fill up the molds, and there will still be a lot left. We can share it and drink it all before going home."
Ning Shixia said as she took out a plastic bag containing a small stack of disposable paper cups.
These small bowls were given to Zhao Ruyue as a gift by the boss as she bought a lot of unsold food ingredients when she went to the county town to wholesale them.
There were a total of forty cups in a big bag, and they brought ten today.
Ning Shixia still had a small bundle of bamboo sticks in her plastic bag: "It just so happens that the barbecue sticks that grandpa helped make last time are still here, so we don't have to make them again."
Zhao Silian read the instructions for use of the refrigerator and took advantage of the fact that Zhao Hongli was away last night and today.
I quietly turned on the refrigerator and adjusted the gear last night.
According to Zhao Silian's observation, after her uncle quarreled with her father, he would not come to her house for at least a week, and would not allow her aunt to pay attention to her. In the past few days, she just had to be careful not to be discovered by her father.
Now they just need to pour out the mung bean soup and stir it evenly so that each cup contains about the same amount of mung beans and sugar water.
Finally put it in the refrigerator and wait until tomorrow.
Zhao Ruyue brought back a freezer in the evening, and the whole family gathered around it curiously.
Ning Shixia was so excited that she blurted out what they had done today: "The freezer is indeed bigger and can freeze more things. If Sister Silian also has a freezer, we can freeze more mung bean popsicles at a time and sell them for more money!"
Zhao Ruyue: “Hmm?”
Ning Shiqiu covered his sister's mouth, but it was too late.
Ning Shaoming suddenly realized: "No wonder you didn't want the ice cream I gave you yesterday. You insisted on drinking mung bean soup and asked me to make it for you. It turns out you were planning to do a business with no capital investment."
Zhao Ruyue asked in disbelief, "You and Silian make mung bean popsicles and sell them?"
Before she asked Zhao Silian, these children had already taken action, which surprised and delighted her.
Ning Shiqiu loosened his hand and said, "We just started making it. We can only sell it after it's frozen tomorrow. We don't know if we can sell it."
Zhao Ruyue felt that she was falling behind, and hurriedly said, “When you go to see Silian tomorrow, ask her if she wants to try to sell some sugar water ice packs and salt water popsicles.
If mung bean popsicles sell well, I can also wholesale some for her when I go to wholesale ice cream to her family.
It's too slow to cook mung bean soup, freeze it into popsicles and then sell them. You also have to prepare bamboo sticks, cups and other things yourself, which is too troublesome. ”
After she said this, the two children looked at her with stars in their eyes and thought that their mother was so good, simply the best mother in the world!
The next day they went to find Zhao Silian and told her about this. Zhao Silian felt the same as them. It was a pity that good parents were all from other families.
Her parents can't do it, so she has to stand up for herself.
"I want to sell sugar ice packs, salt water popsicles, and mung bean popsicles, but I don't have the money right now... Can I buy them on credit first?"
"It's okay. I have money and can lend it to you first." This time, Ning Shiqiu did not ask for a share of the profits like he did to his cousin.
He knew that Zhao Silian had a very difficult life.
No matter how bad his uncle and aunt were, they never seemed to beat his cousin? Anyway, Ning Shiqiu has never seen his cousin being beaten. At most, he was pinched once or twice by his eldest uncle Ning when he was angry. I wonder if this counts as beating a child?
My aunt usually gets scolded quite often, but she never denies food to my cousins. My uncle has never been heard to scold the children, but he may also be a hands-off boss who is too lazy to take care of the children.
Moreover, the small business he and his cousin started was because he sold his bicycle. His cousin couldn't do this small business without a bicycle. He felt that his bicycle was crucial to this small business, so he asked for a share of the profits.
Just like the first batch of mung bean popsicles they are freezing now, Zhao Silian provides the refrigerator, and he and his sister provide the mung bean soup, cups, bamboo sticks and other things, and they will share the profits.
Although a mung bean popsicle only costs ten cents, she still takes it. She won't give up her share just because she thinks Zhao Silian has a hard time.
They took out the mung bean popsicles, shared one and ate it together. They thought it tasted good, so they officially started selling it.
Ning Shixia asked: "Where do we sell it?"
"Let's go to the school gate to sell it?" Zhao Silian suggested. "The school gate opens at 2:30 pm. We'll be waiting there at 1:30 pm. There will be a lot of people there. We can sell it to our classmates."
Ning Shiqiu thought about it, but shook his head and said, "No, we'll sell it at your doorstep."
These words shocked both Ning Shixia and Zhao Silian.
"What if Sister Silian's father finds out?"
Zhao Silian said in horror: "Yes, my father is very fierce, and he can beat people!"
Ning Shixia said, "Why don't I ask my dad to come over? The store has less business this afternoon, so I can let Xiaochun look after the store. My dad probably won't dare to hit anyone when he's around."
In Ning Shixia's heart, his father is the most powerful!
Sister Silian’s bad father is shorter than her father and not as strong as her father. He walks unsteadily and can’t even stand steadily. He definitely can’t beat her father!
Ning Shiqiu still shook his head: "No, we just want to let Silian's father know that Silian is selling popsicles, and we also want him to know that Silian can make money selling popsicles."
This was the method he thought of after his mother suggested yesterday that they could help Zhao Silian wholesale popsicles.
Ning Shixia didn't understand and was worried: "Why? What if that bad guy took all of Sister Silian's money?"
