After a good start, their cart was soon surrounded by people.
Yu Xiangnian was responsible for collecting money, while Wang Hongxiang and Liu Zhen were responsible for watching the stall.
In just two hours, all 500 pairs of rain boots were sold out, and there were still many people standing around without being able to buy one.
Yu Xiangnian asked them to come back tomorrow, as they would be selling rain boots here for the next few days.
After everyone left, Yu Xiangnian gave fifty yuan each to Wang Hongxiang and Liu Zhen.
Liu Zhen looked at the fifty yuan in her hand, her hands shaking with excitement. "That's a lot of money in one night, almost as much as Lao Xiao's monthly salary."
Wang Hongxiang's eyes narrowed into a line as she smiled. "I have to save this money as my own pocket money. When I want to buy something in the future, I don't have to ask Dong Minghao for money."
The three of them pushed the cart home and chatted happily all the way.
While chatting, Yu Xiangnian was planning to sell rain boots tomorrow.
Tonight, the five hundred pairs of rain boots should bring in one thousand yuan, but when she counted the money just now, she found that there was only nine hundred and seventy-six yuan.
In other words, someone took the rain boots during the chaos without paying.
"I think this cart can still carry more. I want to transport a thousand pairs of rain boots tomorrow and I want to find someone to help. Do you have a suitable person?" Yu Xiangnian asked.
Liu Zhen said, "How about Li Guihua? She's very strong. Tomorrow, the three of us will take turns pulling the cart, so you don't have to help push it."
She watched Yu Xiangnian pushing the cart today and the veins on her neck were exposed from the strain.
Yu Xiangnian thought of Li Guihua, who had been beaten by a man and was running away in panic, and said in disbelief, "She's very strong?"
Liu Zhen smiled and said, "Really? I've seen her move the stone mortar in the courtyard by herself."
Yu Xiangnian knew that the stone mortar was quite large and was placed in the yard of the family compound, specifically for military families to pound things.
"Okay, then please ask Sister Liu Zhen to talk to her." Yu Xiangnian said.
"It's not a big deal. Everyone is making money and we can't wait to be happy."
The three of them agreed in advance not to spread the news, fearing that someone would become jealous and report them.
When I got home, Xiaojie was already asleep, and Cheng Jingmo was alone in the main room reading a book.
In fact, he was equal to Xiang Nian.
After dinner, Yu Xiangnian told him that she had something to go out for and left.
It was late at night and he had been gone for four or five hours, so he was really worried.
Cheng Jingmo glanced secretly into the bedroom and saw Yu Xiangnian take out a thick stack of money from her bag and put it in the drawer and locked it.
He had never seen so much money!
He remembered what Xiaojie said, that Yu Xiangnian wanted to make a lot of money, buy a big house and move out.
He felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Yu Xiangnian came out with her pajamas and prepared to take a shower. Cheng Jingmo stopped her and said, "Comrade Yu Xiangnian, where did you get so much money?"
Yu Xiangnian glanced at him without any emotion, threw down a sentence "Don't ask about your sister-in-law's affairs!" and went to take a shower.
Cheng Jingmo: “…”
He doesn't want to ask about any sister-in-law's affairs!
He was worried that Yu Xiangnian would make mistakes in order to make money!
When Yu Xiangnian came out of the shower, Cheng Jingmo was still waiting for her in the main room.
Cheng Jingmo took out a lot of big unity banknotes from his jacket pocket and handed them to Yu Xiangnian, "Here is the money."
Today he asked someone to go to the logistics department to inquire about Yu Xiangnian's resignation and learned that she had borrowed two hundred yuan from Bai Mei and had to pay it back on Saturday.
He borrowed some money from a few of his comrades, and together with his own money, he collected 260 yuan and gave it to Yu Xiangnian.
Yu Xiangnian glanced at the money calmly, then looked at Cheng Jingmo and said, "I don't want it. Keep it for yourself."
Belated care is cheaper than grass.
Yesterday, he didn't even say a word of comfort to her. Today, she has already found a way to make money. Who would care about his little money!
Cheng Jingmo was very persistent in giving her the money. "I know you owe someone money, you should pay it back first."
Yu Xiangnian felt aggrieved whenever the matter of owing money was mentioned.
It was obvious that she had never borrowed a penny. It was Bai Mei and Ding Yunfei who colluded to cheat her.
But the two people on the other side kept saying that she had borrowed money, and she had no way to defend herself.
She pushed away Cheng Jingmo's hand holding the money and said, "I don't want your money!" Then she went back to the bedroom angrily.
Cheng Jingmo watched the bedroom door being slammed shut.
He felt that the closeness and peace between him and Yu Xiangnian over the past half month had suddenly returned to square one because of her resignation.
Yu Xiangnian slept in the next day. When he got up, Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie had already left.
After dinner, Yu Xiangnian went out again.
In order not to attract other people's attention, the four of them went their separate ways and met at the entrance of the daily chemical factory.
Today, they counted a thousand pairs of rain boots and pulled them onto a cart.
Li Guihua, Liu Zhen and Wang Hongxiang took turns pulling the cart. When one person pulled, the other two pushed from behind.
The three of them could see that Xiang Nian had never done any hard labor, so they only asked her to help with the cart when going uphill or in places with large potholes.
As soon as I arrived at the black market, a group of people gathered around me to buy rain boots.
I heard from those who bought rain boots yesterday that their rain boots were cheap and of good quality.
Yu Xiangnian was responsible for collecting the money, and the other three were responsible for selling. In a short while, they sold seventy or eighty pairs.
At this time, the two men who collected the management fee yesterday came again and said that they would collect a management fee of ten yuan today.
It was two dollars yesterday, ten dollars today, so it will be twenty dollars tomorrow, and what about the day after tomorrow?
This is obviously extortion!
Yu Xiangnian started arguing with the two men.
A man pushed her shoulder. "This is the management fee! If you want to do business here, you have to listen to us!"
Yu Xiangnian was pushed back a step, but she wasn't afraid. She puffed out her chest and said, "I obey management, but your charges are against the rules. It was only two yuan yesterday, and it's ten yuan today. How can you charge whatever you want?"
"It's against the rules?" The man laughed. "This place belongs to Brother Ping. He'll take whatever he says."
Seeing that there were still many people waiting to buy rain boots, Yu Xiangnian said, "There are so many people here now. After I sell my rain boots, I will go find Brother Ping and tell him where to find him."
"Brother Ping, do you think you can see him whenever you want?" The man showed a fierce expression. "I'm telling you, if you don't pay me ten yuan now, I'll overturn your cart, and you won't be able to do business here again!"
Yu Xiangnian didn't want to cause trouble, but he couldn't let others bully him.
I was thinking about paying the ten yuan first, and then going to Brother Ping to reason with him after I bought the rain boots.
Suddenly, a loud shout was heard: "The police are coming, run!"
The scene suddenly became chaotic. Those selling things quickly packed up their things and ran away, and those buying things ran even faster.
"Run!" Yu Xiangnian pushed the cart and shouted to the three people who were still in a daze.
The three men had never experienced such a scene before. They were so scared that they didn't care about the cart and Yu Xiangnian and ran away.
Yu Xiangnian pushed the cart with all his might, using all his strength, but he was still as slow as a turtle.
Suddenly, a pair of big hands grabbed the handlebars, followed by a deep voice, "Move aside, I'll do it."
