Chapter 118 Xu Dahai sets up a stall
He didn't explain it in detail, but the three of them understood the hidden meaning.
Lin Qin nodded. "Then I'll trouble my brother-in-law to help look after him for a few days. Wenjun just said that Gao Lei won't be back for three days. It will probably take four or five days for him to arrive in Anshi. Maybe the police station will have found him by then."
Xu Dahai strongly agreed.
The matter was settled, but the children's food rations became a problem.
Lin Yi struggled for a long time, and found the little money he had left and found Lin Qin, "I know your cousin and his wife did something unkind, but your cousin is the only male in the Zhu family, and your uncle will definitely want a grandson. If they can afford the fine, they will definitely not abandon the child.
Don't be angry, of course! Dad is not making excuses for your cousin, he just doesn't want to make a fuss about it for your mom's sake."
Lin Qin's eyes were red and she was very emotional, "Dad! I don't care what Zhu Fugen and Li Lan think, I just feel bad for the child. She was abandoned by her biological parents just because she was not a boy when she was born. If Wen Jun hadn't recognized Ping An's things, who knows how this child would be dealt with!
Even if they can't afford to raise the child, can't they just pay the hospital fees and find a well-off family to adopt the child? I would say they are irresponsible and selfish, nothing more!"
Lin Yi couldn't refute, so he just kept repeating to reassure Lin Qin, "I'm just worried that the child won't have enough to eat. Such a young baby can't drink rice soup all the time. I wonder if anyone can share some breast milk?"
Lin Qin had a terrible headache. "Dad! We live on an island. Where can we find a woman with lots of breast milk? Besides, even if we find one, she may not be willing to give it to us."
Lin Yi immediately took out his own money and said, "See if you can buy some. Feed the child first. It's only a few days, so it won't cost much."
"Dad, this is not a question of money. Our family is not really short of such a small amount of money. Anyway, we can't explain it clearly. Let's wait for the police station to investigate. But I have to tell you in advance that what my cousin and his wife did was not fair. They have been blacklisted by me. I don't want to have any contact with them in the future.
Let's wait for the police station's investigation results and see what they say. If they really refuse to admit it, this child will have nothing to do with them in the future! You don't have to tell them the whereabouts of the child, even if you die!" Lin Qin stared at Lin Yi without blinking.
Lin Yi nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, your dad is not senile yet."
After getting Lin Yi's assurance, Lin Qin's expression eased a lot.
The most urgent issue was indeed the children's food rations, so the father and daughter discussed it.
You Linyi rode his bicycle to Shanglin Village to find a sheep farmer to buy goat milk.
I originally wanted to buy breast milk, but this is hard to explain. It would be easy for some rumors to spread, saying that the child at home wants to drink goat milk, and no one would doubt it.
There are only a few families raising sheep in Shanglin Village, and they are familiar with Lin Yi. They raise sheep mainly to sell mutton at the end of the year, and they don't raise many ewes.
Lin Yi found a household that was easy to talk to, ordered four kilograms of goat milk from them, and agreed to pick it up every afternoon.
When he returned with the goat milk, the child had just woken up, crying loudly because of hunger.
Xu Dahai hurriedly took the goat milk and boiled half a pound of it for the child.
This half pound of milk can be drunk until evening.
With enough goat milk, the child ate his fill and fell into a deep sleep.
The adults all breathed a sigh of relief.
In the evening, Ping'an and Yaya came back. When they learned that there was a little sister in the family, they were so happy that they stayed in the guest room where Xu Dahai lived and didn't want to come out.
Xu Dahai and Huang Yuezhen are now helping Lin Yi with farm work.
Lin Qin leaned against the door frame and asked calmly, "Do you like a younger brother or a younger sister?"
"I like them all!" Ping An turned his head and looked at Lin Qin's belly expectantly, "Mom, when my little brother is born, we will have a little brother and a little sister!"
Lin Qin was amused. "How do you know that the baby in mom's belly is a brother? What if it's a sister?"
"That doesn't matter! Like Yaya, she is my good sister!" Ping'an said loudly.
The little guy mumbled something, turned his head, and suddenly opened his eyes.
Lin Qin's face paused, "Oh no! She's awake. She probably had diarrhea. It's time to eat! You guys look after her sister first. Mommy will go heat up the milk."
By the time Lin Qin finished her work, it was completely dark. Calculating the time, Chen Wenjun should have been on his way back.
After she coaxed the children to sleep, she asked Ping'an and Yaya to do their homework, and then went to the kitchen to cook dinner.
That night was the first time Xu Dahai took care of his newborn baby alone.
Fortunately, Huang Yuezhen got up to remind him twice in the middle of the night. Xu Dahai fed the child and changed his diaper. The child didn't make any noise at all and was so well-behaved that even a grown man like Xu Dahai felt distressed for him.
The next morning, she started complaining to everyone, "This child's biological parents are so cruel. They threw away such a good girl!"
Xu Dahai shook his head and continued to work in the fields with his hoe.
For the next three days, there was no news from Shen Wenfeng, but Gao Lei brought back a shipload of goods.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, the cargo ship passed Nanyu and stopped outside Chen Wenjun's house.
Gao Lei called out twice before Lin Yi came out to open the door.
Seeing that it was Gao Lei who came back, Lin Yi hurriedly and warmly welcomed him in and explained, "Wen Jun is still delivering goods and will be back around ten o'clock. Please come in and sit for a while."
Gao Lei paused, "Since Brother Wenjun is not here, I won't sit down. The goods are all on the boat. If anyone wants to wholesale, uncle can call them over and go on board with me to select, or I can ask them to move the samples out."
"Then move down. I'll call someone over to help choose." Lin Yi said as he ran towards the house.
Gao Lei also called on his brothers to start moving samples.
Everyone gathered in the yard. Lin Yi turned on the lights in the yard, and a group of people gathered around the dazzling samples, exclaiming from time to time.
After all, Lin Qin was reborn and could be considered an experienced person. She knew what clothes were selling well at the moment, so she helped Xu Dahai choose several women's shirts, some made of Dacron and some made of other materials, some were simple and pure, some were bright and elegant. Except that the Dacron material was a bit more expensive, the purchase price of the others was not expensive.
If you wholesale it for three yuan and sell it in town for five yuan or more than four yuan, you can still make money, so the profit margin is quite large.
Most women's skirts are long and will cost one or two dollars more.
It’s simple for men, there are only a few popular styles, and any one of them will sell well.
The shoes include summer sandals and leather shoes. It is summer now, and the leather shoes are almost all last year's inventory. Gao Lei is helping others clear the inventory. The purchase price is low, and the price he gives to Xu Dahai is not high either.
After hearing Gao Lei's offer, Lin Yi was tempted and wanted everything he saw.
