Chapter 124 The Hong Family is Busy with Business
Lin Qin understood her anxiety, and helped Huang Yuezhen get her luggage onto the boat, then watched her leave.
Huang Yuezhen took some of the goods back first this time. The bus bumped along to the countryside. As soon as she got off the bus, she asked two passing villagers to help her carry the luggage back.
Along the way, everyone couldn't help but ask about their situation outside.
Huang Yuezhen did not hide anything and told the truth.
The salary is a little vague, but it is enough to make everyone envious.
The group arrived at Huang Yuezhen's home.
Huang Yuezhen's mother-in-law Lin E was sweeping chicken manure in the yard. When she saw her daughter-in-law coming back, she quickly put down her things and went over to help happily, "Why are you back so early? Where's Weimin? He's not with you?"
Huang Yuezhen shook her head and explained, "Weimin works in Nangang and doesn't have a holiday until New Year's Eve. I work in the city. The weather is bad this year, so the project has stopped. The boss asked us to take a holiday early. Mom, let's not talk about it for now. Carry these things in."
Lin E looked confused, but she still carried the large sacks in according to Huang Yuezhen's instructions.
After the villagers left, Lin E immediately closed the door and asked after entering the house, "What are these?"
Huang Yuezhen did not hide anything and told Lin E everything about their experiences over the past year. "My cousin's family is really well off. My uncle lives with my cousin and her husband now, and he also helps us. Weimin works in Nangang, earning 45 yuan a month, plus some benefits. We eat and live there, so we don't have much to spend money on.
I cooked at the construction site, earning thirty yuan a month. In the afternoon, I helped my uncle farm the land, also earning thirty yuan. Occasionally, my uncle would give me some money from the profits from selling the land. I saved almost a thousand yuan this year.
I saw my eldest cousin buy goods from her and she paid off her foreign debt of more than 2,000 in just one month, so I took a bold step this time and borrowed money from my youngest cousin to buy some goods. If I can sell all the goods before the New Year, I will be rich! "
When Lin E heard this, she didn't dare to delay and said immediately: "What do you want to do? I'll help you!"
Huang Yuezhen shook her head. "Mom, it's the end of the year already. I'm counting on you to take care of the family. I plan to take Shaoyang, Shaohua, and Shaorou to the town to set up a stall. Shaoyang and I will mainly sell together, and the two little ones will help out and keep an eye on things to prevent them from being stolen."
Lin E was somewhat worried when she heard this. "No! I'll go too. Just for a while. I'll come back to work when it's not busy. Anyway, there's not much farm work to do right now."
They did it right away. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law counted the goods, called the three children back, and explained in detail that they would set up a stall in the town early the next morning.
For the three children, the town was the farthest place they had ever been to. They might not even be able to go there once a year. Now that their mother said she would take them there, the three children were very excited.
The eldest, Hong Shaoyang, is better. After all, those who are about to date are relatively stable.
Early the next morning.
The whole family packed up their broken cart, loaded up the items and goods for the stall and went out.
Their village is far from the town. There is only one town with more than a dozen villages, and it is even poorer than the town where Xujia Village is located.
Considering the actual situation here, Huang Yuezhen did not dare to import expensive goods. She only bought beautiful, fashionable and cheap goods with relatively affordable prices.
As soon as the goods were hung up, people gathered around.
Huang Yuezhen and Hong Shaoyang immediately greeted the guests and left the rest to Lin E and the two children to sort out.
Most of the first wave of customers asked about the price, but some people liked the products so much that they bargained for them and happily paid for them.
After all, it is the New Year, and I need to buy things, so I have to wear the same pants and clothes, and also a coat. The bright red one is especially festive, and the orange one is also good, low-key and bright. There are also some patterns made of glittering plastic pieces on it, which is very fashionable.
Someone bought it, and others didn't want to be outdone, so they started bargaining with Huang Yuezhen and her son.
The two of them shouted at the top of their lungs until their voices became hoarse.
When I came to my senses, I realized it was almost noon! They had been busy for a long time!
Huang Yuezhen turned around quickly and asked Lin E, "Mom, how much goods do we have left?"
Lin E was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back. She sat on a rock and panted, "I've sold most of the goods you brought back. I'm dizzy!"
The two little ones imitated Lin E and nodded bitterly, "Mom, there's still a little left, should we still set up a stall?"
Huang Yuezhen thought for a moment and gritted her teeth and said, "You guys go home with grandma. Your eldest brother and I can sell the rest. Don't just play when you go back. Do your homework first. You have to come over to help tomorrow morning."
"We want more!" Hong Shaohua and Hong Shaorou looked at each other and their faces fell instantly.
After they left, Huang Yuezhen asked her eldest son to look after the stall and ran to the grocery store to call Gao Lei's warehouse to ask them to send another batch of goods over.
Since Huang Yuezhen still wanted to continue setting up her stall, she asked the other party to deliver the goods to the town.
The other party was very efficient. Three hours after I hung up the phone, a batch of goods arrived on a bus.
Huang Yuezhen and Hong Shaoyang carried the goods to the stall, intending to sell them while checking them.
Unexpectedly, another wave of people came to buy clothes. I was busy until five in the afternoon when I had to close the stall and go home.
By the time the mother and son returned to the village, it was almost dark.
In the middle of winter, there are relatively few people wandering around the village, and even fewer people come out at dinner time.
The mother and son pushed the cart into the yard and moved all the things on it into the house.
Lin'e asked her grandchildren to help and brought dinner into the house.
After a tiring day, Huang Yuezhen and Hong Shaoyang were already starving and ate voraciously.
Huang Yuezhen finally recovered after eating two large bowls of sweet potato porridge.
He quickly took his eldest son back to the room to settle the account.
After a careful count, the two sold more than a thousand pieces of goods today, which was better than Huang Yuezhen had expected.
Hong Shaoyang was stunned by the amount, as if a new world had opened up.
The mother and son put the money away and went out to tell Lin E.
Lin E's eyes were red with joy. She lowered her voice and reminded him, "You have to keep this money carefully. Don't lose it, and don't tell others about it to make them jealous. If anyone asks, just say that you earned it with hard work and you have to share it with others. Don't say too much else."
Huang Yuezhen and Hong Shaoyang nodded repeatedly and agreed solemnly.
Lin E smiled with satisfaction and said with emotion: "After this wave of work is over, I will go to the city with you guys during the New Year to pay New Year's greetings to Uncle Weimin."
Ever since she was sent to the Hong family as a child bride, her relationship with her natal family has become so distant that they have almost no contact. She never expected that her brothers from her natal family still cared about her and helped her son so hard.
She is not ungrateful, so she will naturally return the favor.
As she spoke, Lin E thought of her younger brother and turned to look at Huang Yuezhen, "Where is Second Uncle Weimin?"
Huang Yuezhen shook her head honestly, her face not looking good, "I haven't seen my daughter-in-law, but I heard from my cousin that my second uncle is not someone who is easy to get along with. Just because my first uncle has no son, my second uncle has always been thinking about my first uncle's house and land, and his words are also very unpleasant.
As the old saying goes, there is no gain without pain. Now my uncle and second uncle have fallen out. I think we should not mention second uncle when we go there, so as not to upset my uncle and cousin."
Lin E sighed and nodded.
