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

When the two disappeared at the door, Jidong had a complicated expression and sighed helplessly, "You! Can't you use your brain? It's really frustrating."

Youcai was confused, "What's wrong with me? You slapped my back and it hurt so much. I didn't even bother to settle the score with you in front of Guoxiang, but you're the first to complain!"

Jidong: “…”

Don't want to bother with him!

Youcai got a little anxious when he saw his expression. "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you looking at me like that? I haven't offended you!"

Jidong nodded, "Yes! You didn't offend me. But your relationship with Guoxiang is not as good as you think. He is clearly showing off to you, can't you hear a single word?"

Youcai blurted out, "Just show off if you want to. I also made money, and I want to show off too. It was you who interrupted and insisted that I only made a few hundred dollars and made me inferior to him."

He was still unhappy. He was obviously not much worse than Guoxiang.

Jidong was tired. What kind of person is this? He doesn't even know how to read people's minds. "If you show off to him that you make four or five thousand a year, he won't be happy for you, he will just think you are annoying. There are very few people in this world who really hope that you live a better life than him. You two grew up together and have a good relationship. But in the college entrance examination, Guoxiang didn't do well, but you did well. You were inevitably compared to the villagers and family, so he started to compare. You have to get his eyes away from you, so that you two can continue to be friends. Otherwise, you will have an extra competitor. Don't cause trouble for yourself at any time. Because the power of small people is amazing."

There was something behind his words. Youcai felt something was wrong. "Did something happen to you? You were not so cautious before."

When Jidong was admitted to Tsinghua University, he didn't stop Aunt Zhang from holding a wedding for him. How come he is going backwards?

Seeing his suspicious eyes staring at him, Jidong told him about how he applied for a government-funded study abroad and was almost reported by his classmates. "Someone really went to investigate the boss behind that canteen. Fortunately, I changed my name to Auntie before, otherwise my government-funded study abroad quota would have been taken away by someone else."

Youcai glared at him, not quite understanding, "How bad! You have been helping out in the professor's lab before, and your achievements are obvious to everyone."

Jidong laughed, "Everyone who entered the Young Talent Class is about the same level as me. But I never thought that he was the one who reported me."

"Who is it?" Youcai asked curiously.

"You don't know him. Actually, I can't study abroad at public expense, and he can't go abroad either. But he just wants to pull me down. There is no benefit, but he is willing to do such a thing. Just think about how terrible such a person is." Jidong has always been cautious. He opened the canteen when he first started school. He didn't have much homework, so he had a lot of free time, so he wanted to earn some pocket money. He also wanted to make himself more comfortable. He can ask his aunt for living expenses, but he can't ask his aunt for the money he gave to his mother, right? It's not easy for his aunt to make money!

Youcai nodded seriously, "It's scary." But he changed the subject, "But Guoxiang is different. Guoxiang and I grew up together, and he is not that kind of person."

Jidong was betrayed by his classmates and became a frightened bird. He began to doubt the relationship between Guoxiang and him, which was wrong!

"People change. Did Guoxiang smoke in the past?" Jidong stared at him.

Youcai was stumped by the question, "Maybe he smoked it because he thought it was fun?"

"I'm not saying Guoxiang has become bad." Guoxiang showing off to Youcai doesn't mean he is a bad person. In fact, there are no bad people. They are brothers who grew up together, so how can we expect good brothers to fall into poverty? It's just that human nature is selfish. We hope our brothers live well, but we don't want them to live better than ourselves. This is also human nature. Jidong sighed, "He regards you as an imaginary enemy. You should be more cautious in the future and don't let him know how much money you make." Jidong knew that Youcai valued his friendship with Guoxiang, but according to Youcai's straightforward approach, the two would have to go their separate ways in three years at most. This is still a minor case. If it is serious, they may never see each other again.

If Youcai didn't value Guoxiang as a brother, Jidong wouldn't have said anything. If he did, he should have been a little more cautious and not so ostentatious.

Youcai felt that Jidong was exaggerating. Maybe because of the investigation by his classmates, he was like a frightened bird and everyone he saw was a bad person. He felt that Guoxiang was not that kind of person.

He turned around and asked his father.

When Li Jianguo heard his son complain that Jidong thinks too much, he rolled his eyes and said, "It's not that Jidong thinks too much, he's talented, it's you who thinks too little."

He was puzzled. They were obviously children raised in the same family. They ate the same food and were both taught by Xiuhua. How could Jidong be so much smarter than Youcai? If it was just the difference in IQ, he would not mention it. After all, they have different biological parents. But the way of dealing with people is cultivated by the acquired environment, right? There shouldn't be much difference. But in fact, there is a big difference!

If we use a plant to describe them, Youcai is like water spinach, with beautiful leaves and a completely hollow stem. Jidong is like a lotus leaf, with beautiful and waterproof leaves and a stem that is densely packed with tangled silk.

Youcai sighed, "It's not good to grow up. Your mind becomes more complicated!"

"Didn't you always dream about growing up when you were little?" Li Jianguo was a little amused. "You wanted to make money and eat well. Haven't you achieved your wish?"

"I did enjoy the delicious food, but the relationship between me and my friends has faded." Youcai couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

"This is normal. When you grow up, you become the mainstay of the family and have to protect your wife and children from wind and rain." Li Jianguo said with a smile, "Seeing them eat well and dress well, the happiness of creating a happy family is incomparable."

The example he gave was quite good. If he had married Zhenzhen and had two children, it would have been wonderful. But it was a pity that Zhenzhen and the second apprentice brother lived together. He sighed and changed the subject, "Guoxiang liked a yellow-haired guy."

Li Jianguo was stunned for a moment, "Yellow hair?"

"That woman dyed her hair very yellow. And curled it, like a pile of straw. I think it's ugly. I don't know what their aesthetic standards are." Youcai always speaks directly. If Guoxiang and Xiaoli heard it, they would probably be so angry that their noses would be crooked.

Li Jianguo was a little amused. "As long as Guoxiang likes her, that's fine. She's not your wife, why do you care so much?"

Youcai pouted, "I just think that woman is a little bit mentally ill. Why dye her black hair yellow? How ugly!"

It was still a bit shiny when it was black, but it became ugly when it was dyed yellow. He couldn't appreciate it anyway.

Li Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he learned from foreigners. Isn't yellow curly hair popular now?"

A few days passed in the blink of an eye and Ergou came back.

Seeing the processed fox fur, he nodded with satisfaction, packed all the fox fur, and planned to let the driver who came back with him take a train to transport all the furs to the south tomorrow.

He ordered and paid. The total was more than 8,000 yuan.

"Is this for your own garment factory? Or are you selling it directly to foreigners?" Jidong was a little surprised to see him taking out the money so quickly.

Ergou explained, "My clothing factory has received a foreign trade order from a well-known international brand, and the materials used must be real. In particular, some styles require real fur. Importing from foreign countries is expensive, and it just so happens that my godfather has ready-made ones, so I can save a lot of money."

Youcai was envious, "Your clothing store has only been open for a short time, and you can already accept foreign orders?"

"Yeah. I didn't expect that. There is a ready-made shopping mall in Guangzhou, and foreigners would go there to place orders. I found college students who know English to help me run the store. I didn't expect to actually receive an order." Ergou said with a smile.

"What kind of clothes did you make?" Jidong asked curiously.

"If you want to make windbreakers and overcoats, make big ones. I won't make cheap clothes made by ordinary factories. I don't have the technical level, so I can only compete on price!" Ergou laughed, "I know a few people from Hong Kong. They plan to move their production lines from Hong Kong to the mainland. I will help them make windbreakers and overcoats."

“Can OEM make money?” Youcai didn’t quite understand.

"If I don't do OEM and set up a brand in the mainland, I have to build relationships and find shopping malls to cooperate with. I don't have that much time. It's better to make money from foreigners and Hong Kong people. They are rich people and it's easier to make money there." Ergou generously imparted his experience to them.

Youcai looked at Jidong and said, "Next year you will go to study in the United States. See if there is a way to make money that is suitable for us in China. Take me with you when you come back."

Ergou looked at Jidong in surprise, "You're going to study abroad?"

"Correct!"

"Can I go with you? I've never been abroad before." Ergou really wanted to go. "I've been to Hong Kong before, and to be honest, I really benefited a lot from it. I want to do foreign trade business in the future, and I also want to go there in person to investigate and see their clothing."

Ergou feels that developed countries or regions abroad can bring him inspiration.

Jidong thought for a moment and said, "Okay! You apply for a passport first, and then apply for a visa after you get off. We'll go together after you get off."

Ergou nodded, "Okay! No problem!"
