Chapter 66: Making Money on the Black Market
Today is Saturday, and Chen Qing does not intend to let two insignificant men affect her mood.
She will take Xiaoyu to play with friends later. Xiaoyu wants to look better, so she is now braiding the little one's hair.
Chen Qing divided the child's long hair into two halves in the middle, tied them into two cute buns, and tied the pink hair flowers specially bought from the supply and marketing cooperative on the buns. The two little buns were super cute.
"He Yuxiang, are you going to look for your friend?"
"I don't want to go."
He Yuxiang was looking forward to it before because he only had one good friend, but on Wednesday, he met Hong Dazhu.
He didn't go to find Hong Dazhu.
It was Hong Dazhu who came to see him.
Hong Dazhu grew up in a remote countryside, but his relatives in the city often come to him for help. He is a man who knows how to read people's expressions.
He didn't care that He Yuxiang was a six-year-old child. He only knew that He Yuxiang was rich and his aunt had connections!
Seeing that He Yuxiang was unwilling to ask him for help, Hong Dazhu gritted his teeth and showed his sincerity.
"Do you remember the last time you came to Xiashui Village? In addition to the people in your car, there was another person who followed you. I was afraid of him... He might be someone from a government agency. I followed him and found out that he had found someone named Yang Xiujin."
"he?"
He Yuxiang frowned.
Hong Dazhu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I went up the mountain to pick up prey last night, and I heard them say that they wanted to look carefully for something, and I also heard them mention you. I promise you, if you let me make money, I will tell you in time if they have any movements in the future."
He Yuxiang couldn't guess what Yang Xiujin was thinking, but his intuition told him that Yang Xiujin was not a good person!
Since Hong Dazhu expressed his sincerity and he really needed him, He Yuxiang stopped being hesitant and agreed to give him a way to make money.
Nowadays, the price of insoles on the market ranges from 25 to 45 cents, depending on the material. However, most families use old cloth to make the insoles, and very few people buy them.
He Yuxiang sold the height-increasing insoles to him for fifty cents, and Hong Dazhu could sell them for seventy cents.
Hong Dazhui came to get the goods and sell them. He could make a net profit of two dollars each time, which means an extra six dollars a month. The food at home could be much better, and at least they would not starve to death.
He was extremely grateful to He Yuxiang.
He Yuxiang asked him to sign a contract of responsibility. If he was arrested, he would pay five dollars a month for six months. If he gave anyone away, not only would he not get any money, but his family would also be retaliated by his aunt.
The contract was drafted by He Yuxiang himself, and when the cooperation stops, the contract must be burned.
Hong Dazhu pressed his thumb and signed his name.
As soon as he got the height-increasing insoles, he couldn't wait to sell them.
He was actually very familiar with the black market because every time before he came to visit his relatives, he would sell a batch of prey.
There are three children in the family. His wife is weak and cannot do heavy work. His old mother needs money for medicine, and he is unwilling to sell the children. So as the head of the family, he has to give something.
Hong Dazhu originally thought he would have to wait for a while when he went to sell the new height-increasing insoles, but they were sold out very quickly. He hurried back and told He Yuxiang, "There's not enough stock. A lot of people want them."
After He Yuxiang gave him the money, he put the six dollars and fifty cents in his pocket and said, "The materials are not that easy to get. Don't come to me in the future. I'll take you to a place where I can hide the height-increasing insoles. You can also put the money you make there."
He took Hong Dazhui to the back of the toilet where the dwarf tiger had fallen into the pit. It was a public toilet, but the toilet was damaged by the dwarf tiger last time. Many people were afraid of falling into the toilet and getting embarrassed, so few people came there. The back of the toilet was very smelly, so even fewer people came there.
Hong Dazhui came to the back of the toilet and smelled the nauseating odor. His expression was indescribable. He admired He Yuxiang's prudence.
"Don't worry, I'm a man who keeps his promises."
"I hope so."
If he didn't have elderly parents and young children to take care of, and was willing to work hard for his family and was a responsible person, He Yuxiang would not have chosen him.
The two men agreed on the transaction location and then separated. Hong Dazhu earned two dollars and sixty cents to buy medicine and rice.
He Yuxiang was collecting his aunt's scraps of cloth again. He didn't want to play anymore in order to make good height-increasing insoles.
It doesn’t matter whether you have friends or not.
Money is the most important thing!
After he gave half of the money to his aunt, he was left with 3.25 yuan. Adding his previous savings, he was left with 4.21 yuan. He still had a long way to go to save money!
He Yuxiang planned to go to the scrap yard to see what could be used to make height-increasing insoles.
Chen Qing flicked his head and said, "You are obsessed with money. Don't you guys make a deal every ten days? Why are you in such a hurry?"
He Yuxiang rubbed his forehead and said, "Others will see that height-increasing insoles can make money, and they will follow suit. Then I won't make any money."
"You are not allowed to make too much of this kind of money." Chen Qing can get 50% of the money, so she will control the money He Yuxiang earns within a range that she can control.
He Yuxiang couldn't refute, so he followed her out. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, so angry that his eyes were about to turn into cross-eyes.
He couldn't help it, so he came to his aunt and lowered his voice and said, "You just don't want me to make more money."
"That's not my problem either."
"Is that my problem?"
"yes!"
"What's my problem?"
"Your problem is that you don't have the ability. If you can really make a lot of money, you should make it openly and honestly so that I can spend the money with dignity, instead of you making money over there and I have to worry about satisfying you to make money!"
Chen Qing's tone was calm and direct.
He Yuxiang's heart was poured with a bucket of cold water because he had earned three yuan and twenty-five cents.
Xiaoyu rested her chin on her aunt's shoulder, put her hands under her belly, and said to her brother who had turned into a piece of wood, "Brother, hurry up, I want to see Brother Maomao."
He Yuxiang said irritably: "What's your name? I don't want to see him!"
Xiaoyu: "Oh, then you go home."
She slid her head down, closed her eyes and ignored her brother.
He Yuxiang sulked for a while and deliberately stomped his feet to make noises to keep up with their pace.
Chen Qing raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Childish ghost.
The three of them first went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought some fruit candies for fifty cents, and then went to the small Western-style building.
The architectural style of the small western-style building is Victorian, but the most eye-catching thing is the words "Knowledge should serve the workers, peasants and soldiers" written in bright red spray paint!
After the three of them walked in, they asked for Maomao's residence and then walked up the spiral staircase. The cast iron railings were wrapped with hemp ropes, and slogans such as "Never forget class struggle" could be seen every five steps.
There are words everywhere.
Chen Qing became nervous. If she didn't want to give her child a complete childhood, she would never come!
“Brother Maomao!!!” Xiaoyu shouted in surprise.
