After Entering the Book, She Became Rich in the 1980s

Chapter 46: Meddling in one’s own business is bringing disgrace upon oneself

The woman counted the money in her hand and said to Jiang Xia: "No, why is it only three yuan and thirty-six cents? Twenty cents missing. Wen Wan just said it was three yuan, fifty-five cents and five cents. Even if the five cents is not counted, It should be three and a half cents. You paid less."

Zhou Min: "You can count it wrong with such a small amount of money? I've even calculated it for you Wenwan, so you can count it wrong."

Jiang Xia lowered her head and counted in her notes without raising her head: "Can you shut up? I've tolerated you for a long time. Did I make a mistake and it's none of your business? Is it your money you spent?"

The air suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Jiang Xia in shock.

Zhou Min was shocked until his face turned blue and white.

It took her a long while before she could hold back her words: "It's so kindhearted that no one is rewarded!"

Wen Wan's face was also offended, and she couldn't help but say: "I'm sorry, I was meddling in other people's business."

Jiang Xia also didn't raise his head: "It's good to know."

Wen Wan: “…”

When the woman heard this, she immediately said: "How do you think you are nosy? Wen Wan did the calculation for me. You don't know how to calculate, and you don't want to let people who know know speak out. Do you want to defraud us of our money? Hurry up and give me the two cents." Otherwise I won’t sell it!”

Jiang Xia: "Okay, pay me back the money!"

The woman: "..."

Zhou Chenglei is also very capable in mental arithmetic. He knows that Jiang Xia has always been right: "Aunt He, Jiang Xia's calculation is not wrong. If you don't believe it, you can find someone to help you calculate."

Someone has been calculating it for a long time, and the number is not big: "Jiang Xia's calculation was correct."

"A Lei's wife is right."

"Wen Wan's calculation was wrong, Xiaoxia's calculation was right."

Wen Wan had already calculated again, and said with a blushing face: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. Sister Jiang Xia, you are really good at arithmetic!"

Zhou Min's expression changed: "It's normal to make a miscalculation."

Jiang Xia twitched the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Min: “…”

What expression? So angry! Can't it be considered wrong?

The great-grandmother said cheerfully: "Actually, Xiaoxia has always been very fast in counting, much faster than Wenwan! When Wenwan was counting, Xiaoxia had already counted the money, didn't everyone notice?"

It happened that Zhou Chenglei had finished weighing another villager and reported the number.

Then everyone saw clearly this time that Jiang Xia started counting the money as soon as Zhou Chenglei reported the number. In other words, as soon as she heard the weight, she calculated how much it was.

This mental arithmetic speed is amazing!

Everyone praised:

"I saw it just now. Ah Lei's wife was already counting money in the basket before Wen Wan said anything."

"Really? This is too awesome."

"Isn't that better than Wenwan? Why can't you get into college?"

"Nonsense, I am in the first high school in the city, the best high school in the city. Can Wenwan's high school compare? Examinations are about luck, just like fishing in the sea. Everyone throws nets into the sea to catch fish. Why? The money earned is different?”

"Sometimes people really talk about luck. Ah Lei was a good soldier and became a regiment leader. Isn't he very capable? Didn't he come back injured? When people are unlucky, even the water they drink is unlucky!"

"This is the principle, people have three declines and six prosperity."

…

Wen Wan thought it was really funny.

Is Jiangxia still unlucky? She gave birth to a good child and married Zhou Chenglei.

If she had Jiang Xia's family background, she would have been admitted to Beijing University long ago.

Jiang Xia asked Aunt He: "Do you want to sell the shrimp? If not, return the money to me. I will return the shrimp to you."

Aunt He hurriedly stuffed the money into her pocket and said, "Sell it! Why not sell it?"

After saying that, she rolled her eyes at Wen Wan and walked away. She couldn't help but mutter: "Such a small number is wrong, so don't make it more complicated! You're really nosy!"

Tian Caihua has always been superficial and straightforward: "What about that, Xiaowan! My son is naughty, so I don't need you to teach him. Her little aunt can teach him."

Wen Wan was so angry that she laughed!

Suddenly I felt like I was a joke! It's self-inflicted!

All the good mood is gone!

She had been busy for most of the day, but in the end she didn't get a single kind word and was even disliked.

These villagers are so awesome, no wonder they have been fishermen all their lives!

Wen Wan felt embarrassed and wanted to leave quickly. She handed over the shrimp in a small snakeskin bag: "Brother Zhou, weigh it for me!"

After Zhou Chenglei finished weighing, he looked at Jiang Xia: "Ten pounds and twenty taels."

Jiang Xia handed the money to Wen Wan.

Ten pounds and two taels is only three dollars and fifty-seven cents, which is rounded up to three dollars and sixty cents.

Wen Wan took the money and left in a depressed mood.

It was too little money. After paying more than three yuan for tuition, she would have no money. She still had to find ways to earn living expenses and travel expenses to college.

She originally thought she could earn at least one or two hundred yuan from the pearls this time.

But when she came, Jiang Xia had almost finished picking up the shrimps, and even two pearl snails were picked up by Jiang Xia.

Life has never been so unfair to her!

Luck never falls on her.

Wen Wan left with red eyes.

*

The shrimps were collected quickly, and a total of seventy-three kilograms and six taels were collected, totaling twenty-five yuan, seventy-six cents, which was exactly twenty-six yuan, because the number of cents was rounded off.

Jiang Xia handed the account book to Zhou Chenglei.

Zhou Chenglei found that Jiang Xia's accounts were clean, clear and clear at a glance.

Moreover, her handwriting is beautiful, elegant and artistic.

Zhou Chenglei felt that what he was holding was not an account book, but a calligrapher's copybook.

He had seen Jiang Xia's signature. Her signature handwriting was more delicate and upright, not quite like her current handwriting, but it was also pretty. He didn't think much about it, after all, a signature couldn't mean much.

Due to work needs, he also practiced several different handwriting techniques.

After harvesting the shrimps, the family started cooking and drying the shrimps again.

Jiang Xia is responsible for lighting the fire, while Zhou Chenglei, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother are responsible for cooking and drying the shrimp, which is a heavier task.

However, making a fire on a hot day is not an easy task. Fortunately, the two iron pots are big enough, so it can be done quickly.

Including his own shrimps, there are a total of 196 kilograms of shrimps. Jiang Xia asked: "Approximately how many dried shrimps can be produced from these shrimps?"

Father Zhou: "Ten pounds of prawns will produce about two pounds of dried shrimps. Do the math."

Jiang Xia calculated that after drying, it only weighed about thirty-nine pounds.

One pound of shrimps costs 35 cents, and ten pounds only yields two pounds of dried shrimps, including firewood, labor, time and transportation costs.

"That pound of dried shrimp costs three yuan and fifty cents."

Zhou's father went to sell it: "It's almost the same. There are large and small mixed dried shrimps for about three yuan and fifty cents. They are all big shrimps. If they are dried enough, they can be sold for more than four yuan or five yuan per catty. Small shrimps are even cheaper. One piece." It’s not even worth the money. Some people sell dried shrimps which are cheaper if they are not dried very well, but if you don’t let them go home and dry them, they will shrink, so it’s the same.”

The yard was full and the roof was full of shrimps. Mother Zhou was worried: "The typhoon has just passed, and I don't know if the sun will shine tomorrow."

Jiang Xia: "Don't be afraid. If the sun doesn't come out, just bake it in a big iron pot or on the stove. When the sun comes out, it will dry in the sun for a day."

Jiang Xia is afraid of rats and cats eating at night.

Mother Zhou muttered: "It's too troublesome."

Jiang Xia said nothing.

What if you want to make money but are afraid of trouble?

In fact, the more profitable something is, the more troublesome it is.

Because every hassle you deal with costs the consumer money.

At this time, Zhou Chenglei came out of the house, holding the two conches in his hands and called Jiang Xia.

When Jiang Xia saw it, she immediately became energetic!

A father’s love is like a mountain. Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers in the world!
