Chapter 53 Is this reasonable?
The farmers' market is not in that direction. Where did this concubine go?
Hang Jingshu took out a newspaper and waved it in front of Wang Silan's eyes. "I went to the post office to get the letter my third brother gave me. I also bought some newspapers from other newspaper companies for Grandpa Yan."
After Hang Jingshu finished speaking, he took out 40 yuan from the inner pocket of his shirt and put it into Wang Silan's hand.
"Why are you giving me money again? You gave me so much last time, but I don't want it!" Wang Silan saw that the girl was handing over money and quickly pushed it back.
Wang Silan was reluctant to spend the money that the concubine pushed into her last time. Knowing that the young concubine would definitely not accept it, Wang Silan thought of saving it for the concubine as a dowry.
As a parent, how can you take advantage of your children?
Hang Jingshu stuffed the money into Wang Silan's hand without giving any explanation: "Mom, this is the money my third brother sent back. He said he made a lot of money as a tutor in Beijing, so he doesn't need to send money next month."
When Wang Silan heard that it was her son who sent the money, her heart also tensed up, and she refused the money even more firmly: "How can he earn money in college? Ni, you should write a letter to Gangzi and ask him to focus on his studies. Dad and mom are still capable and don't need you to help with the family expenses!"
After saying this, Wang Silan felt her eyes sore.
The two children worked part-time to pay for their studies when they were in school, and now whenever they have some money they want to bring it back home. This is hard-earned money, so how can their parents bear to accept it?
Wang Silan had never been to school and could not read or write. She did learn a little from her daughter-in-law when she was young, but she could not write or read letters, so she could only ask her daughter-in-law to write letters for her son.
Going to school outside costs money everywhere. Wang Silan took out two big banknotes from her pocket and stuffed them into Hang Jingshu's pockets: "Ni, help mom send this money back to your brother, and tell him to eat and drink well, and don't be reluctant to spend money! Mom can earn money now, let's all work hard!"
Seeing that the girl didn't show any dissatisfaction, Wang Silan quickly added: "When mom comes back with the stock, I'll bring you the most fashionable headband!"
"When mom saves some money, you can go back to study. Your dad and I will support you. We don't need money from children. As long as you two are doing well, mom and dad will be happy!"
Wang Silan had the same requirements for her four children: if they were married, they should live a good life and not worry about their parents' home; if they were not married, they should study hard and work hard to support the family if they had money.
I will never let my children suffer the same grievances I suffered as a child.
If she didn’t need to purchase more goods, Wang Silan would have wanted to buy a wool coat for her daughter. Even if it wasn’t a cashmere blend, it would still look good!
But Hang Jingshu had his own considerations when giving the money.
"Mom, listen to me. Use this money to buy a bicycle. You can buy a second-hand one or a new one."
Now that Wang Silan has started her business, she will inevitably have to run around, and buying a bicycle is simple and convenient.
People these days have great patience, and riding a bicycle for an hour or two is no problem at all. With a bicycle, it is more convenient for Wang Silan to go to the city.
My parents must have been reluctant to spend the money I gave them last time, and now with the money my third brother sent back this time, it’s basically enough to buy a bicycle.
Seeing that Wang Silan still didn't want it, Hang Jingshu persuaded her from a practical point of view: "Mom, it's inconvenient for you to travel back and forth for business now, and it costs money to buy a car! Why don't you buy a bicycle, so that you can use it to carry luggage when your brother comes back from vacation."
That makes sense.
Wang Silan wants to buy a bicycle, but she has to wait until she has more money.
Wang Silan basically sold out all the goods in her hands on Saturday and Sunday, leaving only some scraps of cloth and buttons for handicrafts.
The 200 hairpins that were delivered in the past two days were all sold out. Because they were new designs with decorations, they were sold for two yuan each, for a total of 400 yuan.
The big hairpins with ribbons are more expensive. Although the purchase price is just over one dollar, they can be sold for five dollars.
20 hairpins are 100 bucks.
There were also two large bundles of hair ties in various colors, a small mirror, and nail clippers. Even the ring hook cost 80 yuan.
Fortunately, Wang Silan did not take out the key hook, otherwise it would have been sold out.
Wang Silan was very confident that she would earn more if she made another trip to Chouzhou.
"Of course Mom knows that she wants to buy a bicycle, and you also know that small commodities can make money, so why does Mom need you two to give her money?" Wang Silan said firmly, "Mom and Dad will go to buy goods tomorrow, and we will buy a bicycle when we come back, don't worry!"
Seeing this, Hang Jingshu stopped persuading her and turned around to remind Wang Silan to be careful on the way.
Hang Jingshu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his mother walking away. Fortunately, he acted very cautiously, otherwise it would be embarrassing if he was discovered.
In the next few days, Hang Jingshu traveled back and forth between school and home.
The academic workload in the third year of high school is heavy. Hang Jingshu studies hard and uses his brain at school during the day, and cooks and relaxes when he returns home. He has adapted well.
In the early morning of October 9, Wang Silan and Hang Renshan boarded the train to Chouzhou again.
Compared to the uneasiness they felt last time, the couple is full of anticipation this time.
It feels so good to make money!
It’s good to be open!
At the same time, Hang Jingshu gradually won the respect of many people in Class 1 of Senior Grade 3.
The reason is that everyone has heard of the name of Hang Chenggang from the County No. 2 Middle School, especially those students who are repeating a grade. Naturally, they have a deep memory of this person with extraordinary performance.
When everyone heard that Hang Jingshu was Hang Chenggang's sister, they were no longer so opposed to the fact that she was a relative.
She is the sister of a top student, so it is normal for her to repeat her studies after failing the college entrance examination.
Just like what Hang Jingshu said on his first day of school, if I can't even get better grades than those with connections, how can I have the nerve to say that they have connections?
These days, learning means speaking with strength!
If you have strength, others will respect you.
Except for Wu Tianming who was severely criticized that day, the hostility of other students in the class towards Hang Jingshu is gradually weakening or even disappearing.
After spending a few days together, everyone found that Hang Jingshu not only had a quick response in class, but was also very good at spoken English.
Hang Jingshu won everyone's initial recognition with his own strength and humble character.
The atmosphere in the class became more and more harmonious, and Teacher Cai was naturally very satisfied. She knew that this student had made the right effort.
On the contrary, the head teacher of Class 3 was not in such a good mood.
Students' grades directly affect teachers' professional title evaluation. Being a teacher these days is not only stressful and laborious, but the salary is also not high.
That's why teachers will fight over a student.
When it came to the quiz on Saturday, the head teacher of Class 3 was even more unhappy.
Not only did Hang Jingshu's English score improve to 80 points, but her and other students such as Wang Chongyun, Li Pingguo, and Zhou Xiaoli, who usually had passing scores, also steadily improved their scores to above 65 points!
Is this reasonable?
This is unjust!
