"My daughter, do you think it's okay for us to change places frequently?" Sun Cuilan was silent for a while and then asked.
"The town is so small—"
"Mom, I'm not talking about the town, but the county town, or the next town. Let's take turns. Do you think it will work?" Sun Cuilan looked at Zheng Dandan expectantly.
She tasted the sweetness of doing business today and can't wait to continue!
"Of course I can..." Zheng Dandan hesitated, "But the county town and the neighboring towns are very far away. Wouldn't it be too hard?"
They were all exhausted after going to town today.
"Why worry about the hard work of making money?" Sun Cuilan didn't care. As long as Zheng Dandan could provide the supply, it would be fine. To make money, she was willing to endure any hardship!
"Okay then, but we have to go and take a look at the environment first. If the management is loose, we can go. If the management is strict, we can go a little slower." Zheng Dandan agreed.
If possible, wouldn't she also want her business to flourish, make a fortune, and unlock all the major products in the supermarket system as soon as possible?
"My daughter is so meticulous." Sun Cuilan's face was filled with pride when she heard Zheng Dandan's careful thoughts.
While Sun Cuilan was doing housework, Zheng Dandan entered the system space to check the results.
"Congratulations to the host for gaining 640 experience points, reaching level three. 750 experience points are needed for the next level up. 13.65 yuan of wealth has been gained, bringing the total wealth to 14.13 yuan. The seasoning section has been unlocked, along with new items: cucumber and salt."
A familiar mechanical sound rang out. Perhaps it was because she was gradually getting used to it, or perhaps it was because the harvest last time was too great, so this time was a little inferior. Zheng Dandan was not too excited after listening to the report.
Cucumbers were three cents a pound, and a 500-gram bag of salt was five cents. She clicked to buy, and instantly five pounds of cucumbers and ten bags of salt appeared on the shelf. Then she bought some oranges, apples, potatoes, and radishes. Once she had everything, she transferred them to her real-life cabinet.
Cabbage can’t be placed without taking up space, so Zheng Dandan didn’t buy any this time.
"Little sister, it's not that I'm worried about mom working. But mom has agreed. When can she come?" When delivering lunch at noon, second sister-in-law Fang Xiaoyu pulled Zheng Dandan aside and asked.
"Mom said she would come if we really couldn't make ends meet, and now, the family has a source of income." Zheng Dandan said lightly. Although Fang Xiaoyu was her sister-in-law, she really couldn't be enthusiastic about someone who was planning to make Sun Cuilan work in the fields.
"How is that possible? Could it be that Dad was called back from the factory?" Fang Xiaoyu speculated in surprise, her voice rising twice. She wasn't stupid. She preferred Dad Zheng back to the factory to Sun Cuilan's hardship in the fields. Since the family was well-off, she could benefit from it.
"What? Dad was called back from the factory?" Zheng Jiangong, the second brother, heard the noise and immediately came over to ask for confirmation.
"Keep your voice down! Don't believe everything you hear. When did I say that Dad went back to the factory?" Zheng Dandan said dissatisfiedly.
"Didn't you say you had a source of income?" Second sister-in-law Fang Xiaoyu looked aggrieved.
"I just said that the family will have a source of income, but I didn't say that Dad was asked to go back to the factory. You should come back early tonight, as there is something to discuss at home." Zheng Dandan said to Zheng Jiangong.
"Okay." Zheng Jiangong agreed. Looking at Zheng Dandan's serious expression, he had a premonition that what was to be discussed tonight must not be a trivial matter.
Zheng Dandan also told the same thing to her eldest brother Zheng Jianye, eldest sister-in-law He Yuegui and third brother Zheng Jianjun.
Sun Cuilan looked towards the neighboring town and county. She didn't plan to continue making trouble.
With Zheng Dandan's instructions, the Zheng brothers and sisters-in-law worked extra hard in the afternoon and finished work early in the evening.
"Little sister, what did family want to talk about?" After returning home, Zheng Jianjun couldn't help but ask Zheng Dandan.
"My daughter, do you have something to say?" Sun Cuilan looked at Zheng Dandan in surprise when she heard that.
Zheng Dandan nodded, her eyes swept over everyone in the Zheng family, and she said, "While everyone is here, I have something to say. Today, my mother and I went to town to do some business."
"What?" Zheng's brothers and sisters-in-law were all shocked when they heard this.
"Girl, why are you saying that?" Sun Cuilan was also very surprised and looked at Zheng Dandan with disapproval. Although she had tasted the sweetness today, after years of thinking, she always felt that doing business was not glorious.
"I'm saying this because I don't want my brothers and sisters-in-law to continue to toil in the fields," Zheng Dandan said. She took out her own 13.65 yuan and showed it to her brother and sister-in-law. "This is what we achieved today."
When they saw the ten-yuan note, Zheng's brothers and sisters were so shocked that they were speechless.
"Are you willing to work together? We can work together and live a good life without having to work in the fields." Zheng Dandan asked.
"Little sister, this... speculation and profiteering is not good, right?" Second sister-in-law Fang Xiaoyu said nervously. She didn't expect Zheng Dandan to be so bold as to engage in speculation and profiteering!
"Mom, what do you think?" Zheng Dandan looked at Sun Cuilan. She had experienced it personally and was the most qualified to speak.
"What should I do with the work assigned to me on the land?" Sun Cuilan couldn't say no. Having just tasted the sweetness, she naturally thought it was a good thing.
"We just need to give the corresponding money to the production team," Zheng Dandan said. This was a common practice: if the assigned work could not be completed, the money could be returned to the production team. Not everyone could complete the tasks assigned by the team.
"Little sister, you're so brave! Aren't you afraid of getting caught?" Fang Xiaoyu felt her heart pounding. She would rather work every day than live in fear! "Mom, why don't you talk to little sister? I can't let her do whatever she wants!"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. We are a family. How could I harm you? The country is now undergoing reform and opening up. Although it is still in the pilot stage, it will be popularized sooner or later. My mother and I tried it, and now no one cares." Zheng Dandan explained to Fang Xiaoyu.
"I think it's possible. When I was working in town, I also noticed that there are more and more private transactions now, and the patrol team doesn't care even if they see it." Zheng's father, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up to support Zheng Dandan's proposal. He paused and looked at Zheng Dandan, "But what can we sell?"
He lost his job, and his family had to find a way to make ends meet.
"I have a way to get supplies. Vegetables, fruits, even salt," Zheng Dandan replied to her father, then looked at the Zheng brothers and sisters-in-law. "It's voluntary. I won't force anyone. Those who want to join us can do business. Those who don't want to can choose to continue working in the fields. The opportunity is before everyone, so make your own choice. Just don't feel unfair in the future."
She doesn't want to beg anyone for a good life.
"Little sister, no matter it's good or bad, I will be with you!" said the third brother Zheng Jianjun righteously.
"We also..." The eldest brother Zheng Jianye was about to agree to join, but was suddenly pulled by He Yuegui's sleeve, "Let's think about it again." He Yuegui said.
"We..." Fang Xiaoyu wanted to refuse when she saw He Yuegui said she would consider it, but before she could say anything, she heard Zheng Jiangong say the word "agree", and her eyes went dark in an instant.
