Chapter 471 I’m not good at studying, but I’m useful~
"Hey, Auntie, come and take a look! The most fashionable coats in Hong Kong Island, we are the only one in Qingshui County. It's only 40 yuan.
Forty yuan is not expensive. When you put it on, you will look exactly like Feng Chengcheng. If you don’t believe me, try it.”
"Brother, do you want Xu Wenqiang's windbreaker? He came from Hong Kong Island with a hat and scarf. If you don't believe me, take a look. Pengcheng is next to Hong Kong Island. It's just a short walk away."
“.”
"Don't laugh at me. I'm young, but that has nothing to do with the quality of this dress. Just look at whether the dress looks good or not, don't look at me."
"Okay, okay, I'll give you an 80 cent discount. It can't be any cheaper. We're not making any money, we're just trying to save face."
Li Ye followed Li Ying here today. He didn't expect that the little girl wanted to "show off her skills" to him, and he didn't expect that the skill she was talking about was to set up a stall to sell clothes.
Li Ying pushed aside Shuanzi, who was obviously a newbie. The little person stood behind the stall and greeted customers with a loud voice, which soon caused a burst of laughter.
But Li Ying was not afraid at all. She bargained with the customer seriously and soon did business.
Li Ye sat on a stool behind the stall and watched coldly. He found that in just a short while, Li Ying had sold more than a dozen pieces of clothing.
Li Ye narrowed his eyes and asked Han Chunlan: "Did Xiaoying often follow you to set up stalls?"
"No, no," Han Chunlan said quickly, "Before, she said she wanted to buy some clothes for her classmates, so I gave her the clothes at the purchase price. After my sister came to me, I found out that she was doing business in school, and then she sold very little."
Li Ye snorted and laughed, pointing at Li Ying who was busy, "You've never brought her with you? Then how does she know the market price of these clothes? And looking at her, it doesn't look like this is her first day to set up a stall."
“.”
Han Chunlan's face was twisted, and she could only say awkwardly: "There is a market every five days in our county. Xiaoying would come to see me at that time, and sometimes she would come to see me during the break.
At first she just watched from the side, and later she sometimes helped to shout. I really didn’t want her to learn this, but she threatened me, saying that if I chased her away, she would let you chase me away.”
Oh, me too!
Li Ye was really convinced. Li Ying was a little smart kid who even learned how to take advantage of the power of others.
There is indeed a big fair in the county every five days, and the fair is just across the street from Li Ying's junior high school. It only takes two minutes to run there. Doesn't that create good conditions for this little girl to study?
Han Chunlan's ability to expand her business was indeed due to Li Ye's relationship. If Li Ye had said a word to An Xiaoxu and the others, Han Chunlan's business would most likely have failed.
So Han Chunlan really couldn't do anything about Li Ying.
Seeing that Li Ye had no expression on his face, Han Chunlan was also worried, so she could only whisper: "I have advised Xiaoying many times to take you as an example, the top scholar, to study hard and not do such undignified work, but she said she was not afraid of embarrassment.
I have no choice. My sister told her about it once last month, but she just beat her up, which didn’t work. Zhuangyuan, you have a lot of ideas, can you think of a solution?”
Li Ye shook his head slowly and said, "All roads lead to Rome. It's not shameful to set up a stall to sell things."
“.”
Han Chunlan was stunned. She didn't know where Rome was, but the three words "not shameful" really surprised her and made her feel warm in her heart.
Since Han Chunlan started setting up a stall two years ago, the couple has worked hard from dawn to dusk, rain or shine, and have made a lot of money in the past two years.
At the beginning, the couple didn't even have a bicycle and could only pull a tractor-trailer by hand. But now, the couple each has a Jianshe 50 tractor-trailer, and they are towing two tractors-trailers, realizing mechanized operation.
But even so, they are still despised by many people in jobs, and those who are educated look down on them from the bottom of their hearts.
But now listen to what Li Ye said. He is the best in the province!
He is the best in the province in terms of knowledge, and people say it is not shameful to set up a stall and run a business. Who do you think you are?
Li Ye watched Li Ying sell for a while, then shouted, "Okay, Xiaoying, come here and let me ask you something."
Li Ying then dropped her stall, walked up to Li Ye, and waited anxiously for Li Ye to ask questions.
Based on her understanding of Li Ye, this shrewd brother, she could probably guess that Li Ye would ask her something like "Do you like setting up a stall? Do you not want to go to school anymore and follow your aunt to set up a stall?"
But Li Ye asked Li Ying: "How many pieces of clothing did you sell just now? How much did you sell them for in total?"
Li Ying was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "I sold twenty-one pieces of clothing for a total of three hundred and sixty-six dollars and fifty cents."
Li Ye: "What was the cost? How much did you earn? You just sold for 42 minutes. If you were allowed to sell for two hours, how much would you earn?"
Li Ying didn't hesitate this time and answered almost immediately: "The cost was 197.30 yuan, and I made 109.20 yuan. If I can sell it for two hours, I can make 312 yuan."
Li Ye: [Isn't your brew a poor student? How come you can calculate so quickly? ]
Li Ying didn't know what Li Ye was thinking, and continued to show off her skills: "But that's impossible, because business is usually busy for a while.
This is why everyone wants to buy new clothes during the Chinese New Year. Normally, we can’t even sell half of them, and if they don’t sell after two months, we have to reduce the price.”
"Okay, okay."
Li Ye waved his hand and asked coldly: "Xiaoying, your math is pretty good, right? Then explain to me why you only got a few points in math?"
“.”
Li Ying opened her mouth repeatedly, and after a long while she said weakly, "I am not good at math, I always make mistakes, but I am pretty good at calculating money."
Li Ye nodded and said, "Okay! I've seen what you're capable of. We should go back."
When Li Ying heard Li Ye say he was leaving, she quickly pulled his sleeve and said, "Brother, it's not easy to come here, let me shout for a while!"
Looking at the poor child, Li Ye had no choice but to nod.
Then Li Ying stood behind the stall again and started shouting and counting money.
Li Ye observed carefully for a while and felt that the little girl was not just showing off her abilities, but she really liked the feeling of "making a profit as a middleman".
Simply counting money is boring. It is only fun to count the profits from it.
However, when it was almost noon, Li Ye noticed someone.
She was a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties. She kept walking back and forth in front of the stall, her eyes constantly scanning Li Ye and Li Ying.
Li Ye called Han Chunlan and Niu Dali over and asked them if they knew this man, but they both said they didn't.
Li Ye stopped Li Ying from selling it, and pulled her aside and asked in a low voice: "Look carefully, do you recognize that person? Is he from the Bi family?"
Li Ying looked carefully for a long time and shook her head, saying, "I don't know them. I was still young when I was kicked out, so I may not recognize some of them."
"Let's go! Let's go home."
Li Ye took Li Ying and left. Han Chunlan and Niu Dali insisted on keeping Li Ye for dinner, but they failed.
Because Li Ye was somewhat confused, the middle-aged woman's eyes looked strange, a little resentful, a little hesitant, and a little sad.
【Who is that person? 】
. . . . . . .
On the way home, Li Ye asked Li Ying, "What did you ask me for? You want to set up a stall to sell clothes like your aunt?"
"That's different."
Li Ying hugged Li Ye in the back seat and shook her head vigorously, then said with confidence: "I want to buy a big car and drive it to the market to sell clothes.
One car can carry five carts, and one person can earn the money of five people. Not only can he go to the market in Qingshui County, but he can also go to the market in the neighboring county."
Well! It turns out that Li Ying had already planned this when she asked for a driver's license.
After returning home, Li Ying wanted to ask Li Ye to make the decision, hoping that he would tell his parents to let her go her own way, the right way.
But after Li Ye communicated with Li Kaijian, he gave her shocking bad news.
"If your test scores are in the middle of the class, I can give you a bicycle during the summer vacation and 30 pieces of clothing to sell every day. If you rank in the top ten in the class, I will give you 50 pieces of clothing every day."
"If you can be like your sister and rank in the top five in the grade, I will give you 130 tons and a helper. I will take you to the market and let you sell whatever you want."
Li Ying counted on her fingers for a long time, and asked with tears in her eyes, "If I rank fifth from the bottom in the exam, will I be unable to sell clothes?"
Li Ye nodded seriously, indicating that you, little girl, got the answer right.
"No, brother, who are you in the same group with?"
“.”
Li Ying couldn't help crying. She had been waiting for someone who could "understand her" at home, but how come he turned out to be even more cruel than other people in the family?
Well, having said that, Li Ye is actually not as ruthless as Han Chunmei.
When Han Chunmei came home from get off work, she twisted Li Ying's ear after listening to her sister Li Juan's exaggerated narration.
"I told you to study but you didn't, and you still bother your brother. Aren't you ashamed? Are you embarrassed? You also want a big car, where do you get the money to buy one? Do you know how much a car costs?"
Han Chunmei started to cry as she spoke.
She was very angry. How could her daughter make such an excessive request?
You see Li Yue has a car, and you want a car too. Are you his relative? Why do you want one?
But Li Ying's next words made everyone break down.
"Wow, I don't want to either, but."
"Mom, why were we driven out? Because we were useless, because we didn't make money.
If we make money, who would think we are a money-loser? I just want to make money on my own, and I want my brother to know that I am not good at studying, but I am useful, I am useful waa ...
Li Ye heard Li Ying's sobbing and explanations from across two rooms, and he felt extremely upset.
He felt that he was smart and witty enough, and with Li Ying's money-obsessed personality, he pushed her to make progress and study.
But who would have thought that a child who had not even graduated from junior high school would have such a deep obsession in his heart.
