Chapter 541: Suffering a loss is a blessing!
Jin Ermao never expected that just a casual word and leading the way would lead to such an opportunity.
Thinking of the couple's good deeds, Jin Ermao sighed.
"They were originally from the same village, and they just casually said something when they met. Who knew that they would take advantage of others and have evil intentions instead."
"If you ask me, it's better to save face, so that your honest character won't suffer any harm."
"Sister Guihua is right. Last year, the Wu family asked you to make a set of tables, chairs and stools for them, but they haven't paid you yet."
"Didn't they give me some sea fish?"
Mrs. Jin was immediately furious. She walked up to him, took the twenty taels of silver from his hand, and carefully wrapped it up in a handkerchief.
"And you said you can catch sea fish yourself, why do you need him to give it to you?"
"Hey, Daping, stop talking too much. Suffering a loss is a blessing. Isn't Lao Jin's blessing coming today?"
After hearing this, Yao Daping sighed. Thinking about the twenty taels of silver in his arms, his resentment disappeared.
"After receiving this money, you can go and get acquainted with the business. It doesn't matter if you make the furniture for them or bring it back home. Try to make a few sets of decent furniture for them before the New Year."
Jinguihua was a kind-hearted person. Seeing that the two had stopped arguing, she smiled and said.
"While it's still early, Lao Jin, take out all your tools, clean them, and apply some oil to make them sharper."
"Thank you, Sister Guihua, for today. Otherwise, my old Jin is so dumb that he would definitely suffer at the hands of old Yu again."
"What are you talking about? We are from the same family. If I don't help you, who else should I help?"
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. A Luo's father is coming back today, and I have to clean up after dinner!"
After saying that, Jin Guihua left. Yao Daping watched his man actually go to get the tools, and he was immediately furious.
"You can't wait until after you finish your meal. It'll take another two days."
"I don't dig a hole until I'm in a hurry. I'll be ready early and ready to go at any time..."
After saying that, he waved his hand, filled a basin with water and started sharpening his tools.
"Don't stand here any longer. Your son will be home today. Prepare some good food for him to eat."
Many people in the village would follow the large fishing boats to go fishing, including Sister Jin’s husband and Jin Ermao’s son.
Life at sea for half a month was not easy, and I was just looking forward to going home to have a reunion dinner with my family.
Yao Daping stretched out his hand and pointed at his man twice, then went into the house muttering to himself. He cut off two taels of silver with scissors and put them in his arms, then wrapped up the rest and stuffed it into a corn husk pillow.
"It's safer to put it here."
After muttering to himself, he ate his lunch first, put the leftovers into the pot, and added some firewood under the stove.
"Remember to eat your meal later. I'll go to the market to buy some vegetables and pork."
"Got it, go and come back soon."
Yao Daping left the house happily, carrying a basket. He thought that his family's boat had been sunk and he would not be able to earn a penny before the New Year.
I didn't expect there would be such a big surprise today. When his son comes back, maybe I can use this money to find him a wife...
When Old Yu's wife saw Yao Daping's happy face and even humming a little tune as he passed by her house, she became furious.
After returning home, she couldn't help but ridicule her man.
Yu Haitao was already full of rage today, and when he heard these words again, he flipped the table and started cursing.
"If you hadn't called me, would I have rushed over to make a fool of myself?"
"It's wrong to want to make more money, and you blame me."
As he spoke, Yu Haitao's wife Liu sat down on the ground, slapping her thigh and crying loudly.
The villagers around came out with their bowls of rice, stretched their necks to take a few looks, and then were called back by their families.
Yu Haitao felt a headache from the noise, his eyes rolled and he started to have evil thoughts.
"Stop howling. It's not easy to make money."
"You make it sound easy, but how do you make money?"
Liu got up from the ground, and Yu Haiyang dragged her into the house and closed the door with a bang.
On the other side, Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen, who had left, entered the dock warehouse, where Yang Shuo and others were loading the film onto the truck.
After seeing the two, Lu Anfu wiped the sweat from his head and said:
"Sister-in-law, you came at the right time. This thing feels thin, so why is it so heavy to carry?"
Several people entered the warehouse and were almost dazzled by the things inside. After finding the rolls of film that Ran Qingxuan mentioned, they found that two grown men could not even move them.
Later they found ropes from the warehouse to tie the bundles up, and it took four people working together to pull them onto the truck, and they only managed to move about ten bundles.
Ran Qingxuan then remembered that he had not told them.
The wind is relatively strong in the northwest, so considering durability, the plastic films she bought from the mall are 600 meters long and 1.5 meters wide.
The material used is double-layer, which has a high density and naturally doubles the weight.
This roll alone weighs nearly 100 kilograms, and it would definitely be difficult for two grown men to lift it.
"Thank you for your hard work, brothers. These things were bought from foreigners, and they moved them here for me. I didn't know they were so heavy."
"It's just a small matter. I just don't know what my sister-in-law bought these for?"
Ran Qingxuan explained to them: "What you are moving now is mainly used to build a vegetable shed, which is both windproof and coldproof. Cover it after sowing. As long as the temperature and humidity are enough, you can grow vegetables that are not available in winter."
"It can be grown in winter, so how much is this roll?"
The person asking the question was Wei Rao. His family also had a few acres of land. If it was not too expensive, he was thinking of buying a bundle so that his family would have vegetables to eat in the winter.
After learning of his intention, Gu Yanchen said bluntly: "The foreigner will be here in a while. If you need anything, just get it from me."
None of them were fussy people, so they agreed with a smile and continued with the work at hand.
Gu Yanchen followed and loaded the rest onto the cart. It took ten ox carts to load them all.
“Brother Lu, if your family has land, don’t be in a hurry to leave when you go to our place later.”
"Why is that?"
Lu Anfu didn’t understand, what does having land at home have to do with not leaving?
"It's like this. My wife bought several kinds of crops from foreigners. They have high yields and short cycles. I want to lead the whole village to grow them."
"If you are interested, you can stay and listen later."
"If there is such a good thing, I must stay."
"My dear lords, my family also farms, can you stay and listen?"
The man driving the ox cart was a man in his thirties who lived in a nearby village. After hearing the conversation between Gu Yanchen and the others, he was immediately moved.
This was a good thing that benefited the people, so Ran Qingxuan did not refuse.
"If you are interested, you can stay and listen."
"Thank you, ma'am."
The group came out of the warehouse and were chatting across the dock when they saw a group of people gathered around a large ship in the distance.
"What's going on over there? Why are there so many people gathered there?"
"This kind of big ship doesn't come back for half a month, and the catch is basically bought after it's unloaded. Maybe it caused a dispute..."
A few people didn't care much and left after taking a few glances.
