The day of rebirth and elopement: caught by the military officer husband

Chapter 14 Why Pay Attention to a Second-hand Good

"Soap?" Liu Daqiang was stunned. "Aren't you going to make a living?"

"Yes!" A bitter laugh came from the microphone, "But I didn't expect that the beginning would always be so difficult. I had no connections at all, so in order to have enough food to eat, I found a job to get by.

Look, we’ve only sold a few this month.”

After hearing this, Liu Daqiang's original plan to ask when he would be taken to the city for development was instantly shattered.

"I was just wondering when you'd let me in... You've become such a mess..."

“Don’t worry!” Wei Caijun said firmly, “I treat you as a good brother, and I will never forget you when something good happens. When I am stable, I will definitely bring you here! Now you don’t live well, and the food is not good either…”

After listening to this, Liu Daqiang felt mixed emotions: "Why don't you come back..."

"What do you mean? I took a lot of effort to get out, and you want me to go back?" There was obvious displeasure in Wei Caijun's voice.

"Hey, I know how you left, but I heard that those who are out there are all getting rich, but most people have bad luck." Liu Daqiang tried to comfort him.

"If others can get rich, why can't I? If others can do it, I can do it too. I just don't believe this!

Besides, if I still haven't found a place to stay by the New Year, I'll consider going back. I'm still young now, so I'll always give it a try."

Liu Daqiang was silent for a moment, "Okay, you can do it yourself."

Just when Wei Caijun was about to hang up the phone, Liu Daqiang suddenly said, "Wait a minute! Actually..."

"This phone bill isn't cheap." Wei Caijun muttered, "Hurry up and tell me."

"It's Lin Xiaoxue..." Liu Daqiang told him in detail about the situation and changes in her stall.

After hearing this, Wei Caijun was indignant: "Did you know that she slapped me on the day she eloped? She insisted on going with someone else for no reason. And now she can still set up a stall to do business?"

"Yes!" Liu Daqiang continued, "She used to speak in a soft voice and was so timid that she didn't even dare to look others in the eye..."

"Forget it!" Wei Caijun's tone revealed that he didn't care. "Anyway, she and her military husband won't be together for long. You should pay more attention to her movements."

"What?" Liu Daqiang asked in confusion, "Why are you paying attention to a second-hand product?"

"Second-hand goods?" Wei Caijun said with a smile, "I'll come back and marry her when I have money! Let's see who has the last laugh!"

Hearing this, Liu Daqiang felt it was ridiculous: "Don't let your imagination run wild, brother. Lin Xiaoxue has already changed her mind. Will you be worried about not having fresh stuff when you have money?"

In the gap between the two people's conversation, there was a "click" sound of the phone line being hung up.

After the silence, Wei Caijun, who was working hard in a distant city and looked frustrated, sighed heavily.

While the stall was being closed here, glass jars were being loaded onto the tractor one by one, with Lin Xiaoxue standing by to direct the work.

Suddenly, Shi Zhenli took Mother Lu's hand and said obediently, "Mom, I want to go to the department store in town and buy some soap."

After saying that, he sniffed himself, as if to say, I'm covered in sweat because I worked so hard today.

Seeing her enthusiasm, Mother Lu also nodded and said, "Speaking of which, Mom wants to go shopping too."

Come to think of it, she hadn't been to town for more than ten years and didn't even know what the department store looked like.

In the village, it seemed that as long as you had been to that building, your whole body would be covered with a layer of golden light.

Lin Xiaoxue stuffed the money for the fare to Uncle Liu, and then said, "Okay, let's go together. We also need to buy some seasonings."

"Xiaoxue, you are so polite!" Uncle Liu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. "This way I can also pick up some people along the way."

"It's okay. When Uncle Liu arrives at the Lu family, he can just ask my brother and sister-in-law to come out and move."

Uncle Liu responded with a smile and left. Not long after, he really picked up three people on the road.

One of them was Li Cai'e, Lin Xiaoxue's mother.

"Oh my! So many glass jars?" Li Cai'e asked curiously, "Is it because they are covered with straw to prevent them from getting damaged?"

Uncle Liu laughed, "Don't underestimate the things in these glass jars. They are all pickled vegetables made by your daughter. They will sell well in town! We have almost sold all the ones we brought today."

Li Cai'e felt a little bit unbelievable when she heard that her daughter's pickled vegetables were so popular.

"My daughter's cooking skills are good, but they're not good enough to make money." As she spoke, she opened a jar and tasted the radish slices inside.

"Hmm...it's really good with rice."

Uncle Liu felt a little embarrassed when he saw her nod with satisfaction after tasting the food and put two jars with half of the pickled vegetables left into her basket.

"I'm afraid this isn't appropriate. At least Xiaoxue needs to agree."

But Li Cai'e just responded lightly: "Humph! It's only natural to use something made by my daughter. Just tell her when you get back."

The tone of his voice revealed that there was no room for negotiation.

Finally, when the car approached the village entrance, Li Cai'e picked up the basket and got out of the car.

Uncle Liu kept shaking his head as he looked at the figure from behind. What a stingy old woman! She sucked the betrothal money from her daughter and even took the radish slices.

As soon as Li Cai'e returned home, she couldn't wait to put the basket in her hand on the table and opened the lid to reveal the pickled radish slices inside.

She excitedly said to her son Lin Tianzong: "Look, this is the pickled vegetables your sister sells in town. I tried it and it tastes really good."

Lin Tianzong came over curiously, picked up a piece of radish and put it into his mouth to taste it carefully.

His eyes suddenly lit up, "This, this is much more delicious than what those shops in town make."

"I didn't expect that damn girl's cooking skills were so good." Li Cai'e was a little proud and a little regretful. "Why didn't I notice it before?"

Lin Tianzong looked up at his mother and said, "Mom, this is not the point. The point is that you can make money from this! Look at the huge crowds of people in the town today. Her glass jars must weigh at least 200 kilograms, right?"

"Yes!" Li Cai'e's eyes flashed.

"The pickled vegetables in town are only 20 to 30 cents per pound..." Lin Tianzong began to count with his fingers, "This is a big profit! At least several dozen dollars."

Hearing this number, Li Cai'e's heartbeat quickened, and she couldn't help but slap her thigh: "You are really good at calculating! Why am I so blind? What's the point of just taking things?"

An idea suddenly occurred to her. "We need to learn how to make pickles! It's more practical to earn money by ourselves."

Lin Tianzong quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, yes! My younger brother has mentioned recently that he is no longer interested in working in the factory. Now the policy encourages the development of individual economy, and he is thinking about starting his own small business."

His eyes were sharp. "I think this pickled vegetable business is very suitable."

Listening to her son's talk about how to make money, Li Cai'e became more and more excited: "Then I'll go ask Xiaoxue..."

But Lin Tianzong stopped her and said, "Mom, wait! Xiaoxue probably hasn't come back from town yet. Let's have lunch first and then talk to her in detail."

"Okay." She was so happy that she imagined she had found a way to make money.
