Entering the courtyard...
Tian Yuzhu saw at a glance that there were some messy items piled up by the door.
There are rice and noodles, as well as all kinds of canned food, even cured pork.
The one-eyed man was squatting in the corner, smoking a pipe and basking in the sun. When he heard the noise, he turned around and immediately smiled: "Oh, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for two days."
"Uncle, are you getting rich?"
Tian Yuzhu withdrew her gaze from the pile of things.
The one-eyed man walked up to her with a smile on his face. "I'm telling you, Mr. Gong, we made a lot of money this time, so I was thinking of buying some things for my daughter's family. Over the years, I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a father..."
"There's no overnight hatred between father and daughter. You're right to think so, but..."
"What's wrong?"
Tian Yuzhu walked straight into the house, saying as she walked, "Everyone knows what kind of image you usually have. Suddenly you have the money to buy so many things for your daughter's family. Aren't you afraid of being suspected? Then we can forget about continuing our business."
The one-eyed man was stunned for a moment, then nodded rapidly: "Yes, you are right, I can't mention so much at once, I have to take it slowly, look at my brain."
Tian Yuzhu, who had already stepped into the room, glanced at the table.
There are no rough stones and no antiques.
"You didn't get any business these past two days?"
"Not yet, but let me tell you, we made a lot of money this time."
The one-eyed man quickly took out the money and handed it to her: "I'll do whatever you want with the raw stones you showed me last time. I'll ask for less for the raw stones of inferior material, and more for the raw stones of good material. The boss doesn't make much money on the raw stones worth ten out of the fifteen, so I only give him thirty yuan for each piece. The other five pieces are profitable and are sold to those foreigners. The owner of the stone gave him one hundred yuan for each piece."
At this point, the one-eyed dragon's voice trembled with excitement: "This time alone, we made a full eight hundred yuan."
Eight hundred yuan is a considerable sum of money in this era.
If reform and opening up were implemented, everyone would be able to buy a house in the county town.
Tian Yuzhu was calm inside. Money was just a number to her, and this was probably what she expected.
I just counted them and there were five hundred.
I couldn't help but feel confused: "Isn't it eight hundred?"
According to what we had agreed upon, the two of them would split the money 50-50, so how come she got an extra hundred?
The one-eyed man scratched his head embarrassedly. "Don't worry if you laugh at me. I've never had more than a hundred dollars in my life. Ever since I started doing this business with you, my life has been getting better and better."
"Besides, if it weren't for your ability, Mr. Gong, how would I have gotten all this money? So I think we should split it 50-50. From now on, you get 60% and I get 40%. After all, you're the one with the ability, and I'm just an errand boy."
"Well, I just have a small request. I beg you, Mr. Gong, don't abandon me when your business grows bigger. Don't worry, I will do my best."
Tian Yuzhu was a little amused and helpless.
She just didn't expect that the one-eyed man would take the initiative to offer to make concessions.
I thought to myself that there is still a long way to go in doing business in the future.
The one-eyed man has one advantage. On the surface, he is just a drunkard and his behavior is not very good.
But everyone overlooked one of his strengths.
This person is smart and good at adapting flexibly.
Isn’t it a businessman’s strength to say one thing to one person and another thing to another?
"Don't worry, I always keep my word. If we say 50-50, it's 50-50. Take it." Tian Yuzhu slapped the hundred yuan into his hand and said, "Uncle, don't let your imagination run wild. All I ask of you is that you don't show off your wealth. You can take your time to treat your daughter well, but just don't interfere with our business."
“You…”
The one-eyed man looked touched.
Then he nodded: "Don't worry, I will pay more attention in the future."
After saying that, he took out a map from his bag and said, "This is what you asked me to find."
Really found it?
Tian Yuzhu was even happier than when he brought the money. She unfolded it, took a look at it, and then put it away.
"By the way, the matter of national food coupons..."
She had discussed this with One-Eyed Man four days ago, but now it seemed that he had failed to do it.
The one-eyed man said that he ran back to wait for her in excitement and had not yet gone to the county town.
Tian Yuzhu gave him fifty yuan and said, "Please exchange it for thirty yuan worth of national food coupons for me. Put the remaining twenty yuan and the coupons in the letter and send it off."
After that, he sat down and hurriedly wrote two letters.
Thirty yuan worth of food coupons were sent to my grandmother and my brother and sister-in-law in Quanshui Village. There was another letter with twenty yuan in it, and I asked my eldest brother and sister-in-law to take it to my sister Tian Ying in two installments.
Then it was passed from Tian Ying to her mother Yang Xiu.
That woman...
Tian Yuzhu couldn't get rid of the memory of the original owner.
Mother Yang Xiu has a limp in one leg and has to endure domestic violence all the time.
She gave some money directly, hoping that the mother could have some money to rely on.
But she couldn't give too much, so she had to give a little each time, like fishing for the original owner's father, to restrain him from attacking Yang Xiu.
Also, regarding grandma's family, the last letter she sent said they sold ginseng for two hundred yuan.
But given the old lady's temper, she would definitely not use the two hundred yuan to live on, and the first thing she would think of would be to pay the villagers who had built the house.
So these thirty yuan worth of food coupons might be just what they need.
The letter simply stated a few words, and as for the envelope and stamps, they were left to the one-eyed man.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of it."
Tian Yuzhu was more cautious: "Uncle, please go to the county town and send it."
Although there is a post office in the town, very few people send letters there, which makes it easy for people to notice you.
