Don’t think that children don’t have any malicious thoughts just because they are young. Many seemingly innocent words and behaviors can have a great impact on people.
Not to mention that adults often say all kinds of sour words in their ears. If they say them too much, the two brothers, whose mother is a college student, will inevitably be isolated and excluded.
Thinking of her two cheerful children in the past, and how they cowered and asked her if she didn't want them anymore when they last met, Li Yuying felt a pain in her heart.
Others also have some understanding of her family situation.
Li Yuying's husband Gao Wei lost both his parents when he was young, and he was the only one in the family. Not only did the villagers not help this poor child, they even looked down on him.
He grew up alone, struggling and stumbling. Because his family was poor, no one introduced him to a partner. It was not until Li Yuying went to the countryside that the two met by accident and later they naturally got together.
It can be said that the family was completely isolated and helpless in the village. If the man in the family was not strong and worked quickly, and Li Yuying was not smart, and the couple often secretly prepared some mountain products and game, who knows what would have happened to this family.
The villagers completely looked down on them. An orphan and an educated youth, they had no relatives or friends to help them, and that was how their lives would be.
But who would have thought that once the college entrance examination was resumed, the educated youth daughter-in-law of the Gao family would actually be admitted to Peking University?
Seeing that a family that everyone looked down upon was about to rise up, many people felt jealous.
If someone who is better off than you is doing well, many people will just be jealous for a moment and then forget about it. But if someone who was once under your feet is doing better than you, most people can't stand it.
Originally, some people wanted Li Yuying to help their children with their studies. They didn’t want them to get into Peking University, they just wanted them to get into a university. Isn’t this too much to ask?
But who would have thought that the daughter-in-law of the Gao family would not be kind to these fellow villagers at all, and refused with a cold face.
Many people were upset by this rejection!
His expression immediately changed, and he insulted Li Yuying in both words and deeds. Not only did he say all kinds of insulting words in front of the two adults, which were called teachings, he even did not let the two children go.
This kind of behavior really makes the sisters in 301 feel sick.
"What did they do again?"
"We are all human beings, so how can some people be so vicious? What does it have to do with you whether other people's lives are good or not? What's the benefit of doing something that harms others and yourself?" Zhao Yueling was puzzled.
Jianshu said calmly, "On the diversity of species."
"Now is not the time to talk about these things. What we should discuss is whether Gao's brother-in-law should come and what to do if he comes." Zhou Yanan brought up the topic.
Wei Ye slammed the table excitedly, "Of course I have to come. If they continue to stay at home, who knows how badly the two children will be bullied!"
Ge Mei tugged at her sleeve and said, "It's not that simple. Brother-in-law Gao and his children don't have Beijing hukou. Even if they come, living there will be a big problem."
Without a household registration, there is no food supply. How can we survive?
Zhao Yueling looked at Jianshu and hesitated to speak.
Jianshu sighed slightly and was about to speak.
Li Yuying, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up. "I wanted them to come. To be honest, didn't my husband bring the children to spend the New Year with me before the Lunar New Year?"
Wei Ye nodded. They all knew about this matter, and they had even met Gao's brother-in-law.
"When my family and I were out shopping, I noticed someone selling small items covertly. The patrol officers basically turned a blind eye. My husband got interested then."
"After two days, we rented a bicycle from a taxi and left the child at the guesthouse. My husband and I rode down to the village and walked around. We collected some eggs, dried tofu, bean sprouts, and other things to sell back in town."
"It was just before the Spring Festival, and everything we brought back was sold out in no time. My husband and I discussed it and we rode our bikes back to the village again. This time we were a little bolder and brought in more things, but we also sold everything out."
"After a long day of hard work, I returned to the guesthouse at night and sat on my bed to do the math. At the end of the day, our profit was only two yuan and forty-eight cents! And that was just one day!"
The others did the math in their minds and then gasped. It was just over two dollars a day, so wouldn’t that be more than seventy dollars a month?
This is equivalent to two months' salary for many workers.
"Is this how to make money?" Ge Mei muttered to herself.
Li Yuying nodded and continued, "More than that, we certainly wouldn't let go of such a lucrative opportunity. From then on, we got up early every morning to go to the countryside to collect the goods. Then, we took advantage of the time when many people were buying groceries to hang around the factories and sell out everything we collected every day."
"Later, we became familiar with some of the villagers and received more things. Not only eggs, but also a lot of pork, chickens and ducks. Because we have a wide range of products and sell them at a reasonable price, many people come to us to buy, and our daily profit is also greater. At the end of the month, how much do you think we earn?"
"Eighty?" Ge Mei added a little more.
"I think it's more than that. I guess ninety." Zhao Yueling said.
"It can't be one hundred, right?" Wei Ye said, then laughed, obviously not believing it.
Li Yuying smiled but said nothing.
Wei Ye opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief, "Is it really one hundred?" Don't ask her to say that, but she was just saying it casually!
What does a hundred yuan mean? Her father's salary is already very high, but it's only a little over a hundred yuan. But how many years has her father been working?
"I earned a total of one hundred and fourteen dollars and forty-five cents." Li Yuying didn't keep the secret and said it directly.
There was nothing to hide. Her friends were all worried about her family affairs. If she was still on guard, she would be too heartless.
"hiss--"
Seeing everyone's disbelief, Li Yuying couldn't help but laugh. "It wasn't just you. We couldn't believe it after we calculated it ourselves. We kept thinking we had miscalculated. We calculated it over and over again and got the same number. Only then did we believe it was correct."
Speaking of which, she feels like she is dreaming when she thinks about it now.
"Is it so profitable?" Ge Mei was eager to try.
"I suddenly want to try it." Zhou Yanan was also a little tempted. Although she had some savings, who would complain about having too little money?
Jianshu poured cold water on the few people who were a little too excited. "Calm down, Sister Ying picked a good time. Everyone needs to buy New Year's goods during the Chinese New Year. The things Sister Ying sells only require money, no tickets. If the goods are good, people will rush to buy them. You can make money during normal times, but definitely not this much."
Ultimately, these things don't offer huge profits; they rely entirely on volume. Furthermore, they don't require much technical expertise, so as more people follow suit, the profits will be even smaller. Sure, you can still make enough to support your family each month, but getting rich from them is out of the question.
