Chapter 9 "Married to a 90s Generation"
Miao Shuangshuang planned everything meticulously and took on all the responsibilities, which filled the whole family with confidence and joy, except for the system crashing abnormally.
Is this still the villainous female supporting character? Her character has collapsed! What villainous female supporting character not only doesn't harm the female lead, but also helps her sell things!
The system's non-existent heart was almost clenching with anger, but even in its collapse, it persisted.
Does the villainous female supporting character really mean she can sell something just because she says so? Anyone can just spout off a bunch of nonsense!
If she were really as amazing as she claims, how could she have ended up living such a life in the original timeline?
Ye Xiqing has gone mad. She despises the male lead who is excellent in every way, but places her hopes on the female supporting character.
They wanted to see what would happen to this bizarre combination in the end!
Fortunately, Ye Xiqing couldn't hear the system's thoughts, otherwise she would definitely say, "What else could it be? In my past life, I was stupid enough to marry a lousy husband who drained all my luck."
Ye Xiqing shook her head. It was too pitiful. Fortunately, she, the female lead, was blessed with good fortune and never absorbed other people's luck. She only made others work for her.
So early in the morning, Ye Xiqing took Miao Shuangshuang to conduct an on-site inspection, sighing and saying, "I thought that since the wine was here, it would sell no matter what, but it turns out that only old Miao at the village entrance spent two yuan to buy a plastic bottle."
"So much grain is being wasted, and we can't sell much of it. What are we going to do if it gets stuck in our hands?"
Miao Shuangshuang was happy whenever Ye Xiqing was worried, so seeing Ye Xiqing's furrowed brows made her excited instead.
He proudly inspected the fruits of their labor over the past few months, raising an eyebrow: "This bucket must weigh 50 pounds, you guys made quite a lot?"
Ye Xiqing nodded: "Yes, the main thing is that we've already found everything, so it would be a bit of a loss if we didn't get more at once."
"Shuangshuang, we don't expect you to sell many. Selling just one bucket will break even!"
"Heh," Miao Shuangshuang watched indifferently.
Six large barrels of wine were neatly arranged on the ground. These were specially made barrels for storing wine, and each one had a fixed quantity: 50 jin (25 catties) per barrel, totaling 300 jin (150 kg). The barrels next to them that weren't full didn't count.
Miao Shuangshuang opened and tasted each barrel of wine, and after tasting them, she immediately understood the situation.
With a wave of his hand like a boss, he said, "Weigh out five catties of wine for me. I'll take it. When I get back tonight, you can all just wait to count the money!"
...
Miao Shuangshuang said this, and she really didn't come back for a whole day.
Everyone was in a panic. It was bad enough that they couldn't sell the goods, but the person was nowhere to be found!
Just as everyone was getting more and more anxious, a series of car noises came from the doorway, and a familiar person jumped out of the car—it was Miao Shuangshuang.
"I'm back!"
Upon seeing her, everyone immediately went to greet her, but unexpectedly, a plump middle-aged woman followed behind her, beaming with joy, and said in a booming voice, "Is the wine inside? I'll go check!"
"Look! Look!" Miao Shuangshuang generously ushered her into the house.
Just like Miao Shuangshuang in the morning, the woman opened the bucket lid and tasted each item one by one.
After tasting it, his eyes lit up, and he turned to the family, smiling broadly, and asked, "What price do you want?"
The family looked at each other in disbelief; they had actually sold it!
Ye Xiqing immediately turned to Miao Shuangshuang, dutifully scanning her with eyes full of admiration and inquiry: Why is that?
Miao Shuangshuang was very pleased with herself. Wasn't that easy?
Only when there is a shortage of a product and one-on-one interaction with the customer is it necessary to consider where the customer is and what the customer needs.
When selling in large quantities, you only need to consider who will benefit from the process.
Alcohol is such an interesting thing. Grain sells for three or four cents, but alcohol sells for twenty or thirty. Once it's labeled, a bottle can sell for over a hundred.
With such huge profits, how could no one be involved? So there are those who resell alcohol, and this woman is one of them.
This isn't really a secret; most local private wineries have some connection with this woman.
Her husband had a lot of influence at the porcelain factory. The two of them provided a one-stop service: one handled the wine, the other labeled it, and they could resell it for seventy or eighty yuan. They were incredibly wealthy. Only Ye Xiqing was completely blind to the truth and knew nothing about it.
The five jin of wine that Miao Shuangshuang brought today was for giving as a gift.
After setting out the wine and inviting their whole family to a restaurant for a meal, the woman surnamed Cai arrived in a great hurry.
When the deal fell through, they were the ones begging her; when it was done, she was the one begging them. So Miao Shuangshuang didn't budge on the price at all, and the deal was finally struck at 22.
The woman surnamed Cai was quite disappointed that she couldn't continue to haggle, but once the price was set, she paid very readily.
“I won’t weigh it. Your alcohol content is quite high. A whole bucket would definitely weigh less than 50 jin, but I’ll charge you 50 jin anyway.”
“Here is six thousand six hundred yuan. Count it. If there is even one fake bill, you can take a megaphone and go to Aunt Cai’s house to make a scene.”
“There are a lot of swindlers buying alcohol around here. It’s only because your Aunt Cai and I live here that we’re so honest with you, since we’re from the same hometown.”
"This is your Aunt Cai's phone number. When you have more wine in the future, come find your Aunt Cai!"
"That's for sure, that's why I came to you—because I know your reputation!"
Miao Shuangshuang was witty and clever, while Aunt Cai was gentle and understanding; the two of them made each other quite happy.
Only Ye Shiying, looking at the stack of money in his hand and recalling Miao Shuangshuang's five thousand yuan payment, felt dizzy.
If that's the case, wouldn't their family become the "ten-thousand-yuan household"?
...
After making money, the most important thing is, of course, how to spend money.
Ye Shiying spread all the money out on the table and counted it over and over again. His flushed face looked as if he had been drinking heavily in the dim light. Finally, his eyes lit up and he said, "Let's pay off our past debts and build a house!"
"This house was built when Shuangshuang's dad and I got married. It's too small and old, and there's not enough room for people to live in it. Let's build a bigger one!"
"After the new house is built, Shimei, you come back too. We won't go out anymore. We'll find a job nearby and live together as a family from now on!"
Ye Shimei couldn't believe it.
She hasn't had a home for a long time. When her parents were alive, she could go back to visit them. But after they passed away, that became her brother and sister-in-law's home. She knew it was annoying, so she gradually stopped going back.
Over the years, I've left my daughter with my sister and wandered around on my own, partly to earn money, but also partly to escape from the world.
She could already sense that no place in this world welcomed her anymore. She never expected that she would have such a fate, that her sister would still be willing to leave her a place!
At this moment, she even imagined kneeling down and shouting like the women in melodramatic TV dramas: "As long as I can stay in this family, I'm willing to be a maid!"
I wholeheartedly support Ye Shiying's decision.
Ye Shiying and Ye Shimei, being of advanced age, naturally wanted to build a house as soon as they had money, but Ye Xiqing had a different idea.
She didn't want to deny the two ladies' desire to have a home, but with the current level of construction, building a house would probably take a year, which meant that they couldn't brew wine for a year.
Building a house only costs 10,000 yuan, but upgrading the brewing equipment can bring in a continuous stream of 10,000 yuan.
Of course, you should start by planting sunflowers, so she suggested replacing the rudimentary brewing equipment first.
The Yip Sai-ying and Yip Sai-mui sisters fell silent, which makes perfect sense...
Miao Shuangshuang looked at the three of them, but she was completely different from them. She grinned and said, "I don't want any of them. I want the Anbu phone number and a color TV!"
Yip Sai-ying: Hmm?
Telephones and color TVs were high-end consumer goods in those days. Even if they earned some money, they wouldn't dare to be so extravagant. So Ye Shiying thought his daughter had gone crazy.
Miao Shuangshuang replied matter-of-factly, "Of course we need the Ministry of Security's phone number. Otherwise, will you still be going to make phone calls at the store when you sell alcohol?"
Ye Xiqing: ...
That makes sense.
"Besides, I'm going to be on TV soon, but there's no color TV, so you'll have to watch me somewhere else!"
Yip Sai-ying: ...
That makes a lot of sense!
And so, the least likely solution was chosen as the first option.
Miao Shuangshuang excitedly rode the only bicycle in her family to the county town to buy a color TV.
As someone who was reborn from the future, her thoughts were completely different from those of the three original inhabitants of her family.
Building a house? What kind of house?
The housing prices will be outrageous in the future. With that money, you might as well take advantage of the cheap prices and buy a house in the capital. No matter how hard you work, can you compare to someone who just gets a simple demolition compensation?
As for what Ye Xiqing said, it makes some sense, but can a stinky wine seller like her compare to a future superstar and the wife of a billionaire?
So, it goes without saying that you need to figure out what's more important, Ye Xiqing's needs or Miao Shuangshuang's needs!
From now on, she'll be the one supporting this family, so Ye Xiqing can just earn some pocket money for herself.
She didn't expect Ye Xiqing to make money selling wine at all; she only hoped to become a big star herself and then marry into a wealthy family.
From now on, that money won't be worth anything; ten or twenty thousand won't amount to much. Her future husband is the richest man in the country, and she… ugh—
Miao Shuangshuang slammed on the brakes.
The sky is clear and cloudless, I'm in a good mood, and when I'm in a good mood, it's easy to forget many things.
But no matter how many things you forget, you'll remember them eventually, so now she only has one thought—
Oh no! The future richest man!
