Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Xu Chunying listened to Zhang Xiuhua's advice and took Hongwen to the county town. She rented a house first. It cost her five yuan a month, which made her feel bad. But in order to fulfill her promise, she gritted her teeth and paid the money.

After renting the house, she took the vegetables she brought from home to sell at the factory gate.

She had only attended literacy classes, could recognize a few words, and was not very good at arithmetic.

She was a little stupid at the time. It was clearly working hours and there were not many people at the door, but she just waited there stupidly.

Fortunately, after the workers got off work, she shouted loudly and sold all the vegetables.

She didn't know the price, so she sold vegetables at a very low price. She only made one cent per kilogram, and she only made three yuan after selling all the vegetables in a truck. At the beginning, she didn't have that much money, so she went to the suburban villages to buy vegetables, and she only dared to buy a few vegetables. Gradually, her business became popular. Although she only made three or five yuan a day, she could still make a hundred yuan a month, and she was very satisfied.

Later, she heard that there was a morning market in the county town, and found that the vegetables sold there were more expensive than what she sold, and there were more people at the market. The only downside was that she had to get up at three in the morning to get the goods. But a little hardship was nothing. She asked Hongwen to stay at home while she went to get the goods. Then she went to sell them at the morning market, and could earn twenty or thirty yuan in half a day.

Then Hongwen would take the leftovers she couldn't sell to the factory gate and sell them all off. Vegetables wilt easily, so they must all be sold on the same day.

Selling vegetables is different from other businesses. It pays back very quickly. You can see cash in one day.

At the beginning, she was not bold enough and only bought vegetables. Later, her business became better and better, and as her capital increased, a consultant asked her if she had any chickens, so she bought chickens, geese, eggs and even fish from farmers.

She became more and more courageous, and sold more and more kinds of things. She could earn forty or fifty yuan a day. After two months, she earned 1,300 yuan. Hongwen also had 300 or 400 yuan in hand.

She is not the only one doing this lucrative business. Even if there are many people competing with her, she can still make money. She was so happy that her eyes were wide open. "Xiuhua, you are right! You can really make money by setting up a stall."

"Has anyone chased you away? Like Ergou?" Zhang Xiuhua asked worriedly.

Xu Chunying shook her head. "At first I was really worried about people stealing my business. But later I heard that only big businesses would be robbed. I had to get up at three in the morning to get the goods when I set up a stall to sell vegetables. I only made a few dozen yuan a day. Those gangs didn't think highly of our small business. But they would come to collect the stall fee. It was a few cents a day. I paid every time."

Zhang Xiuhua was puzzled, "What kind of business are they interested in?"

"The coal mine! And the braised dishes! Business is booming. Those people are also very arrogant, and we dare not offend them easily. They once came to my stall to take the dishes." Xu Chunying sighed, "I didn't dare to take them even though they didn't pay. I was afraid they would beat me up!"

Zhang Xiuhua could guess how frustrating the situation was, but her fists were not as big as the other person's, so she could only hold it in.

Xu Chunying pulled Zhang Xiuhua and said, "It doesn't matter who you sell these eggs to, why don't you sell them to me? I'll take them to the county town to sell them. I'll only sell eggs! I tell you, people in the county town have plenty of money, and they want to eat good food. These eggs are big, so they must be easy to sell."

Zhang Xiuhua naturally had no objection, "How do you sell it?"

"I plan to buy a tricycle. I will ride it into the county town early in the morning like Li Jianxin did." Xu Chunying became more and more excited. "It takes about three or four hours to walk, but it will only take two or three hours to ride a tricycle. I'll be there in time."

Zhang Xiuhua was so shocked that she was speechless. "Then it will take you at least ten hours to go back and forth. You won't have time to work. What did the team leader say?"

"Nothing! I'll take a leave." Xu Chunying carefully calculated the price. "The wholesale price of eggs is five cents each, and the selling price is eight cents each. One thousand eggs is..."

She is not very good at math, so Hongwen used to do the math for her.

Zhang Xiuhua was good at math and gave her the answer, "Net profit of thirty."

"It's only fifty cents for working. It's a world of difference. Of course it's more profitable to do business." Xu Chunying became more and more excited as she spoke, and she felt that she had a bright future ahead of her.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't stop her, "Okay! Be careful. Don't run into bandits!"

"It's okay! Jianxin and I will go together. When we get to the commune, we will take the main road. No one will block our way blatantly in broad daylight." Xu Chunying had already calculated the time.

Li Jianxin set out at seven in the morning. It took her three hours to reach the county town, so she still had time to go to various residential quarters to sell eggs at ten o'clock.

"It's a pity that the tricycle is too small and can only hold 1,000 eggs. Otherwise, I could have carried 2,000 eggs." Xu Chunying felt a little disappointed. If she had used a flatbed cart, she could have probably carried 2,000 eggs, but she was worried that she would come back too late and run into danger on the road.

Zhang Xiuhua agreed with her words, because pedal tricycles are of fixed sizes and there are no customized ones.

"By the way, have you found a model of Hongwen?" Zhang Xiuhua asked casually.

"We have enough money." Xu Chunying looked embarrassed. She was not afraid of Zhang Xiuhua making fun of her. "Hongwen doesn't trust his father and won't let him buy it. I just want Jianguo to help me buy it. Is that okay?"

"Sure. The Capital Friendship Store sells it." Zhang Xiuhua agreed immediately, "But you came at an unfortunate time. He just came back a few days ago."

"It's okay! It's only half a month late. Hongwen can wait." Xu Chunying gave her the money. "If it's not enough, tell me again!"

"Okay!" Zhang Xiuhua took the money, "When are you going to buy a tricycle?"

Xu Chunying propped herself up on her knees and said, "I'm going to the county town now!"

This... is so fast! Zhang Xiuhua just stood up, Xu Chunying motioned her to count out 200 eggs for her, "I can't go to the county town empty-handed. At least I can earn back the fare."

Zhang Xiuhua took a basket from home and counted out two hundred for her.

The basket she used was for collecting pig grass, and the basket alone weighed more than ten pounds. Two hundred eggs were placed inside, taking up only one-third of the space.

Xu Chunying asked her to continue, "It's okay! Those people have plenty of money, and the eggs can be sold!"

Zhang Xiuhua was worried that the eggs were piled too high and would crush the eggs at the bottom. "About 300. If they break, all of them will belong to me."

Xu Chunying thought about it and said, "Okay! Let's just have 300."

She walked out excitedly with the basket on her shoulder. It took an hour to walk to the town, and her arms were so tired! But she didn't feel tired at all, and she was full of energy!

When Li Jianxin came back on his tricycle, Zhang Xiuhua told him that he didn't need to go to other supply and marketing cooperatives to sell his products tomorrow.

"My sister-in-law wants to transport eggs to the county town to sell." Zhang Xiuhua did not hide it from him.

Li Jianxin nodded, "Okay! I'll go and sell the eggs when they reach 3,000!"

"Row!"

On September 1, the children started going to school one after another. The primary school in Lijiatun had been built, and the commune had sent a primary school teacher. Jilin and Zhuzhu would go to school in Lijiatun instead of going to other villages.

Jidong's school starts on September 10, 10 days later than other children.

The children encountered a big incident just as they started school.
