Chapter 47
Qin Xiang narrowed her eyes. Aren't those the Tian Zhongmei and Qin Jun who were detained for climbing over the wall of her house? It has been more than ten days since then. I didn't expect them to be released just now.
Just looking at the situation, I don't think he's going to her house, right?
Tian Zhongmei and Qin Jun also saw her, and smiled uglier than crying, "Qin Xiang..."
Qin Xiang had put all her things in. Hearing this, she snorted and closed the door in front of Tanaka Mei.
Tian Zhongmei didn't even take Erkang's hand away. She was stunned. "Qin Jun, Qin Xiang hasn't forgiven us yet? We have suffered so much, and yet she still doesn't forgive us? Is her heart made of iron? How can she be so cold-blooded?"
They were terrified at the police station. They hadn't slept well or had a good meal, and they were just hoping to get out so they could have a hot meal. But what was wrong with her sister-in-law? Did she really hate them? It had been so long, and she still resented them.
Not to mention Tian Zhongmei, even Qin Jun couldn't believe it. Tian Zhongmei was an outsider after all, but he was Qin Xiang's biological brother. He left them in the Public Security Bureau for such a long time without asking or saying anything. Now that they came out, he acted as if he didn't see them. How could there be such a cold-blooded person?
Qin Jun was so angry that he quickly walked to the back door and knocked on it. "Qin Xiang, I see you, open the door."
Qin Xiang had already gone to cook in the room, so who cared what he was doing there?
Or you could say that human luck is a very metaphysical thing. Last time, Qin Jun and Tian Zhongmei climbed over the wall and were caught by Old Lady Liu and sent to the police station. This time, they tried to knock on the back door and were caught by Old Lady Liu again.
Old Mrs. Liu pinched her waist and shouted, "Hey, what are those two doing? Why are you knocking on the door? Will you compensate me if I break it?"
The couple was startled and turned around to see Old Mrs. Liu.
The two men were so impressed by the old lady that they called the police to arrest them without any hesitation after a disagreement.
They had just been released and they didn't want to go back in. They were scared to death during those days of detention and were in so much pain that they thought they were going to die in there.
How could their little trick escape the eyes of Old Lady Liu? She snorted and said, "I'm telling you, if you dare to knock on the door here again, I'll have to call the police. You just got out, and you have the nerve to come to Qin Xiang again? Bah, you really don't care about your dignity at your age. If I had you two quickly found a place to hide, how dare you come here? Don't you even look at where this is? Do you think you can come?"
The old lady was quite old and full of energy. She pinched her waist and roared, which directly stunned Qin Jun and his wife.
Tian Zhongmei tugged at Qin Jun's sleeve in fear and said, "Let's go back and ask Mom to take charge. No matter how capable Qin Xiang is, she's still Mom's daughter. Let Mom deal with her later."
Qin Jun had no other ideas at the moment, so he nodded, took a deep look at the closed back door, and said through gritted teeth, "Let's go."
The couple left in disgrace. Old Mrs. Liu said proudly to the onlookers, "You see these two? They climbed over my wall and I had to take them to the police station. They just got out."
There was an uproar among the crowd.
You can't tell this old lady is so powerful.
Old Lady Liu said with a stern face, "Don't think that just because I rent out this yard, I have nothing to do with anything that happens. As long as someone lives there, I'm responsible for that day. If you want to bully them, you'll have to get past me first."
Qin Xiang opened the door, looked at Old Lady Liu and smiled, "Thank you, Auntie. I made lunch. Come in and have something to eat with me."
Old Mrs. Liu frowned awkwardly and said, "No."
"Come on." Qin Xiang pulled her in directly and then ate in the main hall. "Auntie, I heard everything just now. Thank you very much."
She was not afraid of Qin Jun and his wife, but she felt annoyed. They were like dog-skin plasters, shameless to the extreme.
Old Lady Liu waved her hands and said, "I'm telling the truth. If your safety can't be guaranteed while you're living in my yard, who would dare to rent it in the future?"
Qin Xiang simply made two dishes for lunch and ate them with steamed buns with Old Lady Liu. Old Lady Liu said, "You are a pretty girl, but why haven't you improved your cooking skills?"
Qin Xiang was happy. "As long as it's edible, I'm not that particular about food."
If you are really particular, you have to have these conditions. Her idea is very simple. Make money now, and when you have money in the future, hire a nanny to cook for her.
After seeing off Old Lady Liu, Qin Xiang packed up and then opened the door to continue selling clothes.
Qin Xiang is rarely free. If someone comes to ask, she will sell things. If no one is around, she will read and study. Time really flies.
The next morning, Qin Yang returned with Mi Hongjun. Qin Xiang pulled a cart to the station to pick them up. There were a total of 2,000 pieces of clothing, but among them were 500 summer short-sleeved shirts, which was what she had requested when she spoke to Deputy Director He on the phone before.
Although it has only been spring for a short time, it is getting warmer here very quickly. It is already much warmer at the end of March than in the first month of the lunar calendar. People have taken off their cotton coats and trousers long ago. A thin sweater is enough for noon. By the end of April, they can almost wear short sleeves.
She knew about this, and the common people who had lived on this land for so many years also understood that Qin Xiang bought so many goods this time just to sell them in this batch. After collecting the money from this batch of goods, she would prepare to go south to purchase more goods.
After that, I had to go to the provincial capital to find a storefront and apply for a business license. There were so many things to do.
Qin Xiang is not afraid of being busy, but is afraid of being idle.
You can only make money if you keep busy.
There are more than a dozen towns surrounding the county seat, and the distributors they found are not spread across all the towns in the county, so this time Qin Xiang plans to let Qin Yang and Mi Hongjun go to an unoccupied market and set up the stall for a few more days, focusing on quick shipment.
The three of them were so busy that they had no time to rest. Qin Jun and Tanaka Mei finally returned home.
I was questioned as soon as I entered the village, and all the way back home.
Ask them what they have been doing for the past ten days and whether they have gone to make a fortune with Qin Xiang.
He also asked Qin Xiang if he could make a lot of money from that business and if he could take them with him.
Qin Jun and Tian Zhongmei were even more furious after hearing this. "What's there to earn? It's useless if they don't recognize us poor relatives even if they earn a lot of money."
When she got home, Tian Zhongmei could no longer hold back her tears and lay in Lian Fengying's arms, crying loudly, her tears were so miserable.
The two of them have not been at home for so many days, and the villagers have been spreading a lot of rumors, so much so that the two children at home are embarrassed to go out.
Now that Tian Zhongmei and Qin Jun are back, they can finally vent their grievances. After crying to Lian Fengying and the villagers, by the time Qin Baotian comes back, everyone in Qinjiatun knows about this.
Everyone in the village was discussing this matter. Some people felt that Qin Jun and Tanaka Mei were unreasonable. Qin Xiang had already said that she had cut off ties with them, but they still came to cause trouble. They deserved it.
Some people also think that Qin Xiang is really cold-blooded and heartless. He even sent his own brother and sister-in-law directly to the police station. He has no humanity at all.
Anyway, people were saying all sorts of things, and Qin Baotian couldn't stop them even if he wanted to. Lian Fengying even cried to him more than once, "This girl is so cruel. She didn't even bother to visit her brother and sister-in-law for so many days. She didn't even bother to give them a bite to eat when she came out. She's so cruel."
"That's enough." Qin Baotian roared angrily. Lian Fengying suddenly stopped crying and was frightened.
"Why are you yelling at me? Isn't Da Jun your child? Qin Xiang is the only one left in your heart. Why are you so partial?"
"I'm partial? Are you partial or am I partial? How can you say that?" Qin Baotian's face was gloomy. He looked at Lian Fengying and said, "You care so much about them, why don't you just live with them from now on."
This was like a bolt from the blue. Normally, after the family split up, the elders should live with the eldest son and his wife, but Qin Baotian was not happy about it. He felt that they were still young and did not need to trouble their son, nor did he want to be with his son.
Lian Fengying naturally thought that wherever her man was, she would be there. Now that Qin Baotian said this, it meant that he didn't want her anymore. She immediately burst into tears again, feeling wronged.
Qin Baotian was extremely tired. Fortunately, Qin Xiang had her own ideas about not coming back after the divorce. It was better for her not to go back home like this.
Qin Baotian gritted his teeth and spoke word by word, "I'll say it again, if you continue to make trouble with Qin Jun and his wife, you can never come back to this family."
Looking at his expression, Lian Fengying knew that the man was furious. Without even thinking, she shook her head and said, "I won't dare to do that again."
Are you really not brave enough?
Qin Baotian didn't know, and he didn't understand why he married such an idiot. If she was just a little bit stupid and honest, it would be fine, but she was not stupid at all and was also self-righteous, which was a fatal flaw.
Qin Xiang and the other two were busy making money, and they really didn't have the time to care about what others said.
With the addition of Mi Hongjun, the three of them were busier and more adept at handling the matter. Qin Yang and Mi Hongjun went to the big market to sell goods, while the rest sold goods in the villages along the way, and Qin Xiang set up a stall in the county town to sell goods in small quantities.
The three of them worked around the clock and visited almost all the large markets in the dozen or so towns in Qingshan County where there were no individual businesses like them buying goods.
But by this time, more changes had occurred.
There are more individual clothing sellers now than before. Previously, only the occasional brother, Zhao Ming and Zhao Liang, would test the waters with a small quantity. Since April, however, the number of such individuals has increased. While most purchase small quantities and the styles aren't particularly attractive, this has created competition. This has made the individual sellers who buy from Qin Xiang miserable.
At the beginning, even though their daily shipments were not as much as Qin Xiang's, they could still make money. It was no problem for them to earn thirty or fifty yuan a day. But with more competitors, their advantage was no longer just their advantage, and they naturally shipped less goods.
The only advantage Qin Xiang and her team have is that they can open the market for a longer period of time. Many people already know Qin Xiang's stall, and it has become a habit for them to come to her to buy clothes.
When Mi Hongjun came back and told her, Qin Xiang was also prepared, but she did not plan to lower the price of the clothes. They were originally clearance items. Once she lowered the price, those self-employed individuals would also have to lower their prices, and business would be difficult in the future.
Fortunately, after some inquiries, I found out that the clothing styles of the additional self-employed businesses were not much better than theirs. They were all targeting the rural market, and the rural aunts and grandmas would not accept their fashionable clothes.
Cai Hongyan's socks business was hit the hardest. After all, socks are not like jackets and pants; they have high costs and high import prices. Socks are cheap to import, and there are textile factories producing socks locally, so anyone with a little capital and connections can get socks.
When restocking, Cai Hongyan talked to Qin Xiang for a long time, and then said, "I want to buy more socks with villains on them this time. I have a way to sell them."
Qin Xiang was puzzled, "Are you really planning to take more to step on the villain?"
In the past, Cai Hongyan also bought the villain's socks, but she didn't buy many of them. After all, they were more expensive than ordinary socks, and many people were reluctant to buy them.
But this time, he gritted his teeth and directly took 400 pairs of socks designed to step on villains. Ordinary socks became extras. "Yes, that's what I decided."
This almost cost Cai Hongyan all of her savings, and she took a huge risk by doing so.
Qin Xiang didn't care how she sold it, as long as she paid her money, she would give her the goods.
A few days later, Qin Xiang heard something from Hongmi Hongjun.
There's a rumor circulating in Sunzu Township down below: there are many villains this year, and one must step on them to stay safe. At first, few believed it, but rumors are like that: they spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and then everyone, half-believing, finally believes it. Now that it's not the same decade anymore, no one's doing anything about it, so the rumor only grew stronger. Then someone came up with a solution.
Then when she went to the market, there were a lot of people in front of Cai Hongyan's stall. They were all buying socks with little people on them. And they didn't just buy in pairs or two. Many people bought a pair for the whole family.
Qin Xiang was speechless, and immediately understood, "Could it be that Cai Hongyan hired someone to promote it?"
Otherwise it would be too coincidental.
Mi Hongjun curled his lips. "I think it's possible, but it seems unbelievable. Why do so many people believe it? There are only a few socks sold at the market, and it just so happens that Cai Hongyan and another one sell socks with stepping figures on them. They're also the best sellers. If it's not her, then it must be related to her. I really don't understand why everyone believes it."
Qin Xiang smiled. "Don't you know there are no gods in this world? Don't you all still worship during the New Year? It's just a way to find spiritual sustenance. Don't worry about her. It's only for a while. After a while, when other things spread, who will remember this?"
Two days later, Cai Hongyan came to her excitedly to restock the stock. Qin Xiang even asked her a few questions. Cai Hongyan was shocked and said, "You knew about this? How did you know it was me who spread it?"
Qin Xiang was speechless. "Who told you that the socks with the villain on them are selling the most these days?"
"Hehe." Cai Hongyan couldn't help laughing. "I really didn't spread this story. It was spread by another socks seller. I just followed behind and picked up the leak to make a little money."
So Cai Hongyan told Qin Xiang about the other big socks seller. Qin Xiang knew that there was a new big socks seller in several nearby markets. She didn't expect that this person was so smart and could come up with such a plan.
However, Qin Xiang is not optimistic about this marketing method. It feels a bit deceptive. People buy your socks out of trust, and such rumors can continue to spread. Besides, socks don't break after wearing them once or twice. Who would buy socks that step on villains all day long?
After Cai Hongyan left, Qin Xiang continued to settle the accounts.
At this time, Cui Hong, after going through a lot of hardships, finally found Wang Junsheng's school.
Cui Hong had been away for quite some time, but she was deceived by a woman on the train and almost couldn't return. It was only when she overheard the woman telling a man that she wanted to sell Cui Hong to a hair salon in the south that she realized she had been trafficked. Although she had little vision in this life, she was a person of insight and ability in her dreams, so she escaped when no one was paying attention.
Unfortunately, all her belongings were lost along the way. She only had a few dollars and a letter of introduction left on her. She called the police but couldn't find the person and her belongings could not be recovered.
It would take two days and one night to get to the capital by train. Cui Hong didn't want to go back, so she simply worked as a nanny for an old man for half a month with the help of the local police and earned fifteen yuan, which allowed her to get back on the road.
Cui Hong could not accept such an experience. In her dream, although her life in the first half of her life was not very good, she was always supported by someone. Later, after she and Wang Junsheng got together, she never had a hard life.
What I saw in the dream was nothing like this.
Cui Hong didn't know how she had managed to get through the past half month.
For that fifteen dollars, she scrubbed an old woman's clothes and washed her pants after she peed and shit. She was scolded if she didn't cook well.
Cui Hong felt like vomiting whenever she thought of the smell.
When standing at the Capital Railway Station, Cui Hong seemed to come alive.
But at the same time, he also felt a little resentful towards Wang Junsheng.
If Wang Junsheng hadn't deliberately abandoned her and ran away, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
She could guess a little bit about what the Wang family and Wang Junsheng were thinking. They were thinking that if they just left, she wouldn't be able to find the school.
The people in Wangjia Village only knew that Wang Junsheng was admitted to a prestigious university in the capital, but they didn't know which university Wang Junsheng attended. Even Qin Xiang had never told her where Wang Junsheng's school was.
But Cui Hong was prepared. During the two days of their wedding, she secretly looked at Wang Junsheng's notebook while he was sleeping. She not only found out the school Wang Junsheng attended, but also got his address.
So before Wang Junsheng left, Cui Lianhua didn't panic even though she deliberately fell and asked her to take care of her. If it weren't for the accident on the way, she would have found the school long ago.
Wang Junsheng wants to get rid of her?
It’s not that easy. Wang Junsheng’s wife in this life can only be Cui Hong.
Cui Hong spent three dollars to find a guesthouse, cleaned herself up, and then went to Wang Junsheng's school.
Standing at the school gate, she breathed a sigh of relief and finally saw hope in life.
When she found her way to Wang Junsheng's dormitory building and saw Wang Junsheng leaning intimately against a girl, her heart sank.
"Wang Junsheng."
