Three hundred thousand a month, that's three million in ten months.
That's around four million a year?
Oh my god!
What kind of store can earn millions a year?
Lu Miao couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. Even the five garment factories that Lu Sen and his father-in-law used to run only earned a few million a year.
What kind of skincare products can sell for so much money?
"Husband, husband, one million! One million in three months!" Liu Hongmei excitedly tugged at Lu Sen's arm, causing him pain that made his face contort.
"Let go of her!" He shook her off and hurriedly pulled the villagers aside to talk.
After learning about Lu Sen's recent events, Lu Miao returned home with a heavy heart.
Liu Hongmei followed behind, constantly shouting: "Your second brother is a big boss and making a lot of money, and you're still working in the fields like a peasant! I don't care, tomorrow you go to the county to find your second brother and ask him to give you money or arrange a supervisor position for you."
“I don’t want to live in the countryside anymore. I want to be a wife in the county town. You can get a million, and we can buy a villa together. With the rest of the money, we can buy a luxury car and hire a few nannies and drivers.”
"Are you crazy! Asking for a million right off the bat? Do you want to be kicked out by my second brother for being insane?"
Hearing Liu Hongmei's outrageous words, Lu Miao's face turned red and then pale with anger.
Stop and turn around to shout at her.
"You...you dare to yell at me! Lu Miao, don't forget that incident. If I tell your second brother, let's see if you'll ever have a second brother this rich again."
Liu Hongmei was stunned for a moment, and was both angry and aggrieved after being yelled at by Lu Miao.
Suddenly remembering something, she used it to threaten him.
This tactic did work; whenever he lost his temper, she would use this to threaten him.
Because he was afraid, he would obediently listen to her.
"Liu Hongmei!" Lu Miao gritted his teeth; her words had really hit a nerve this time.
On one hand, he felt guilty towards Lu Sen, and on the other hand, he had a desire for money and status.
It caused him distress and pain.
"As long as you don't yell at me anymore and listen to me, I won't bring this up again." Liu Hongmei's attitude softened immediately, and she hugged his arm.
“I’m doing this for the good of our family. Look at our daughters, they don’t do well in school and they’re not good-looking. They’ll only marry poor men. Look at our eldest, she married a poor man last year. He couldn’t give us a penny and we even had to pay him out of our own pockets.”
“If you get involved with your second brother and get a supervisor position with him, earning one or two thousand a month, and you also earn some extra money, our family will be rich very soon.”
"With your second brother's help, our daughters will be able to marry rich men. And when we have money, I can go to the hospital for treatment and maybe even have a son."
She knows best what he likes and needs, so she focuses on persuading and coaxing him in those areas.
I always manage to appease him quickly.
Upon hearing the word "son," Lu Miao's expression instantly brightened, and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes.
He was over forty years old and still didn't have a son, which made him the laughingstock of the village for twenty years.
I've had enough of this humiliation.
If we had the money to take my wife to the hospital for treatment, we could definitely have more children.
Only when he has a son will he be able to stand tall, and even if he dies one day, he will not die with regrets.
At least his son will still burn incense and kowtow to him in the future, so that no one will know where he is buried when the grass on his grave grows back again and again.
"Alright! I'll go to the county town tomorrow." Lu Miao's lips curled up, and he couldn't help but smile.
He hoped to meet Lu Sen smoothly tomorrow and get a supervisor position to oversee the production of the entire skincare factory, at which point he would definitely be very rich.
Liu Hongmei grinned and said, "That's right! Don't turn down money. I know you're not happy about it either, and you don't like asking for favors. It was fine a few years ago, but your second brother went bankrupt and became penniless, so we couldn't get anything out of him."
"But now that your second brother has made it big, don't you want to turn your life around?"
"Of course I want to! But I can't bring myself to say it, and I'm not good at sweet-talking people." Lu Miao pouted, also disliking this flaw of hers.
If I had a sweet tongue like Lu Yan, I could have swindled all of Old Lady Lu's money back then, and I could have lived a very comfortable life for the past twenty years.
It's nothing like the weather is so hot now, where we have to work from dawn till dusk.
“What’s so scary about that! You’re not good with words, but our daughters are all smooth talkers. They’ll make sure to make your second brother and sister-in-law happy.”
Liu Hongmei's eyes lit up as she imagined a life of living in a villa and driving luxury cars.
The last time Lu Sen held a housewarming party in the county town, she saw Yun Ping wearing a silk dress, light makeup, and perfume. The image of that wealthy lady deeply stung her eyes and her heart.
Why should Yunping be allowed to remain a wealthy woman?
Why is she able to turn her life around and make a comeback?
She stayed in Lujia Village, living as a village woman and a peasant.
Why should I?!
They were both women, and both married into the Lu family in Lujia Village, yet their fates were vastly different.
She refused to accept it!
Whatever Yunping has, she wants too.
Liu Hongmei was determined to succeed in this matter, as if she had written the script herself.
“Listen to me, tomorrow you take Xiaojing, Xiaoli and Xiaona to see your second brother. Dress them in rags. When you see your second brother, cry with the children and say that there is no rice at home. The typhoon in June damaged the rice. They only harvested a few dozen kilograms of rice in the past two months, and now it’s all gone. They are starving with the children.”
“I don’t believe it can stay like this. Lu Sen is still so impartial and doesn’t care about our family. He may not love you, his younger brother, but he must be soft-hearted and unable to bear seeing his nieces go hungry and suffer.”
"And then there's Yunping. She dotes on Xiaona the most. Teach Xiaona a few phrases to say she's hungry, then put her in Yunping's arms. Before long, Yunping will definitely be unable to resist and will arrange food for you and give you several thousand yuan."
"When the time comes, you'll have to send your kids home. Don't rush into the managerial position, or your second brother will definitely not give it to you. It's always been like this. He's never liked having relatives or friends in the company. He's very clear about separating public and private matters. You need to remember that."
"Then how can I get a supervisor position?" Lu Miao asked anxiously, puzzled.
He had initially been very supportive of Liu Hongmei, but when he heard that she couldn't have the supervisor position that day, he became anxious.
Could it be because of Lu Sen's character of clearly distinguishing between public and private matters and being impartial and incorruptible?
Despite the fact that more than a decade ago, he and Lu Yan had gone to Lu Sen countless times to ask for the position of manager of the garment factory, they were always refused, with no exceptions made.
This forced them to take on more comfortable jobs like security guards in garment factories, meaning they could only earn enough to support their family and couldn't make a fortune.
"Are you stupid? Tomorrow, people from the village will definitely go to the county town to borrow money from your second brother. When so many people see your miserable state, how can your second brother bear it? Wouldn't that be a huge slap in his face?"
"What does a boss value most? Face? Reputation?" Liu Hongmei analyzed the matter carefully, and when she saw Lu Miao shake his head and say he didn't know, she stomped her foot in anger.
Having a man like that as her husband is infuriating.
If her husband were even a little smarter, she could live the life of a wealthy wife.
