Chapter 58 Buying a bicycle and being targeted

Today was a happy day for Wang Silan, who was in high spirits. Not only did she buy a satisfactory bicycle, she also went to Liu Kangyuan's place to deliver some goods.

As expected, there are more and more imitation wool knitwear in Fengcheng, but many of them are crudely made, and some of them are no longer made after they cannot be sold at a high price.

The second daughter, Hang Jinghua, is very clever and deft. Not only are the stitches on the pendants she makes fine, but the colors are well matched as well. She also pairs them with exquisite metal key chains, which directly doubles the price.

Although the price seems to be quite high, it is still far from that of small commodity business.

This time, Wang Silan purchased more styles of goods, no longer limited to various small accessories, but also other things that can be used in daily life.

For example, nowadays every young girl has a colorful hand-woven silk scarf. There are more new and colorful ones in Chouzhou. Wang Silan even bought two big bags of hand-woven silk scarves this time, all of which have new and colorful patterns not available locally.

Small hat hairpins, big bow headbands, hair ropes with bows, plastic combs, various small patterned comb hairpins, plexiglass hairpins, and even metal nine-ring hairpins.

There are also hair bands with two colorful balls, satin flower hairpins, polka dot and solid color headbands that children like.

Metal nail clippers and the boys' favorite hanging chain on the pants.

There is also a tin frog that jumps when you wind up the spring. In addition, there are new tricks such as jumping chickens, jumping sparrows, and swimming ducks.

Things I didn’t dare to buy last time, I read them all from beginning to end this time.

There are even earrings and necklaces, but they are all made of shiny plastic, which children will like more.

Although Fengcheng is developing rapidly, there are not many people like Hang Jingshu who can make prompt decisions and encourage his mother to go to Chouzhou to purchase goods.

Most of the people setting up stalls were selling clothes and food, while small commodities and accessories were mostly bought at the supply and marketing cooperatives.

There are markets and department stores, but they are either too tacky or too expensive.

But Wang Silan's is different. The styles are the most fashionable and the prices are not expensive.

Any girl who has enough money will choose to buy a piece of jewelry that she likes.

The girls in Fengcheng city are even more generous, otherwise Liu Kangyuan's small pendants would not have sold so well.

Wang Silan is a reliable person and she doesn't ask around when selling things. She just keeps exaggerating how beautiful they are. In less than a day, all the accessories she brought from home were sold out.

Some people even come here specifically to buy it, and when it’s out of stock they ask when it’ll be back.

It can be predicted that the batch of goods that Wang Silan purchased this time will definitely be sold out in the next few days or even a week.

Now Wang Silan gradually felt that her daughter was right. Too much time was wasted traveling from the foot of the mountain to the county town and then to the city.

It would be better to rent a house in the county town.

But as a farmer who has been dealing with land all her life, Wang Silan is still reluctant to give up her land.

"Mom, why don't you buy a glass of water from the tea stall? Your lips are chapped," Hang Jingshu walked over and saw that Wang Silan's hair was messed up and her lips were dry.

"Why spend that money? Mom will be going home on her bike soon," Wang Silan took out the hundred yuan that the lady had stuffed into her hand last time.

"This time mom also bought a bicycle. 60 of the money is yours, and the other 40 is your brother's. You can't refuse it!"

As expected, money in hand makes one strong. Hang Jingshu smiled helplessly and agreed readily: "Okay, okay, I'll keep it. I'll write to my third brother later and tell him not to be so tired!"

After hearing what her daughter said, Wang Silan smiled with satisfaction: "Oh, that's right! As long as Mom can make money, she won't need support from you two!"

Wang Silan saw the girl coming back from outside again, and the guess in her heart was stirring again: "Girl, why did you come from there again today?"

Hang Jingshu thought that his mother had discovered that he had been going to school secretly.

But what Wang Silan was worried about was whether the young lady had other thoughts.

Every time the girl came, she came from the south. There was no agricultural market there, and she didn't carry anything else in her hands. Wang Silan was worried that she was not working well in the Yan family.

"I'll go check today to see if there's any letter from my third brother. He didn't reply to the last letter I sent, haha."

Hang Jingshu hadn't figured out how to tell her mother that she had gone to school. In order to avoid being discovered, she left her books in the classroom, for fear that Wang Silan would become suspicious and look through her bag.

Anyway, every classroom is locked now, and other students also leave their books at school.

Seeing that the look in her daughter's eyes did not seem fake, Wang Silan could only put her doubts back in her stomach, and then comforted her daughter: "Ni, Mommy is making money now, so read more books when you have time. We will continue to study when we have the chance!"

Wang Silan felt that she was lucky. Although she was arrogant before, she suddenly became open-minded after failing the college entrance examination.

Now, not only can I make money myself, but I can also help my parents and sisters make money together. It shows that learning can broaden your horizons!

Being able to recognize words means being smart!

Hang Jingshu naturally agreed to this: "Okay, Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan of the Yan family are very good to me. I will definitely work hard and study hard."

Before leaving, Wang Silan gave the girl two hairpins, one red and one with a bow.

"I see other young ladies all buy them and wear them, so we family members must have one. Wear it when you have time. It will look nice!" After saying that, Wang Silan rode her bicycle home.

As the sun was setting, Wang Silan attracted a crowd of onlookers when she rode her bicycle home.

"Silan, what are you doing tomorrow? Why did you borrow the bicycle back?" Aunt Chen from next door was feeding chickens at the door. When she saw Wang Silan riding back a bicycle, she thought she had borrowed it from her brother's house.

Hang Jingshu's fifth uncle's family was well off and had the three major items early on. In the past, Wang Silan would go to borrow a bicycle whenever she had something to do, and the neighbors nearby were also used to it.

"Well, I had some things going on these two days." Wang Silan didn't plan to say directly that she bought it. She would wait until everyone found something wrong before telling them about it.

During the farming season, in addition to growing and pickling vegetables, every household would rub corn and dry it for food. After the corn was dried, they would go to pay the public grain. The amount of time they had free time throughout the year was limited.

Wang Silan and his wife worked even harder. In addition to taking care of the household and farm work, they would go to the county town to work and earn money whenever they had free time so that they could support a college student.

Since everyone lives close to each other, it is impossible to keep secret any movement. Aunt Chen couldn't help but feel anxious when she saw that the couple had been going out early and coming back late, and often disappeared for a few days.

She came over with a flattering smile on her face: "Silan, tell me, what have you and Hang Renshan been busy with recently?"
