Chapter 311 Making Money!
"Damn it, we were tricked by that little girl! There's no money in this bag at all!" the thief said through gritted teeth.
He saw that Chen Ting was clutching her bag tightly and assumed the money was inside, so he snatched it.
To everyone's surprise, inside were steamed buns covered in green mold!
He's like a man who hunts geese all day long, only to have his eyes pecked by one himself. That girl is hateful!
Chen Ting didn't care whether the thief hated her or not; she was in a hurry to pay and pick up the goods.
"Sis, why haven't you thrown away that steamed bun yet?" Brother Chen scratched his head.
He knew those steamed buns; they were the dry food his parents had prepared for them.
Chen Sange had already prepared steamed buns with water for the journey, but when it was time to eat, his sister went out for a walk and came back with a steaming hot lunchbox.
"Sis, where did you come from! Oh, and you're braised pork!"
"Never mind, just eat!"
Can Chen Ting say that she packed all of these dishes in advance from the state-run restaurant, secretly spending a little money to have the chef cook a lot of dishes for her?
Since you have space, an essential gadget for home and travel, how can you let yourself go hungry on the road?
Why eat steamed buns? Wouldn't braised pork be better?
Seeing this, Brother Chen stopped asking questions and started eating the braised pork in silence.
After that, the two enjoyed good food and drink all the way to Shenzhen.
So the steamed buns were left uneaten. In the spirit of not wasting food, Chen Ting had even planned to take them back with her.
Who knew that the humid weather in the south would successfully cause the steamed buns to grow green mold?
"Oh, we've been watching the market these past few days, I forgot. I was thinking of taking it out and throwing it away since we're leaving today, it wouldn't be good to leave it at the guesthouse. Who knew it would be snatched as soon as I stepped out the door? You know what, that person has terrible eyesight!" Chen Ting said, clicking her tongue at the thief.
Brother Chen didn't want to talk. It wasn't that the thief had bad eyesight; he also thought there was money inside, okay?
It's his sister's fault for holding the pocket so tightly!
No, those are all green fuzz. Chen Ting was even worried that bacteria would float out!
Fortunately, after this incident, the two were very careful. They paid the remaining balance, picked up the goods, and then took the train directly back home.
"My goodness, daughter, how much stock have you bought?! Where did you get the money?!" Chen's mother was a little frightened.
"Mom, these are all cheap! Come and take a look, these are the leather shoes I bought for you. Come on, Dad, eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, we have them all, come and pick some out! And these clothes, see if you like any of them!"
Fearing her mother would question where she got the money to buy the goods, Chen Ting quickly took out the gifts she had brought back to change the subject.
Before her parents could ask any more questions, everyone started looking at their own gifts.
"Wow, these little leather shoes are really nice!"
"Right, sister-in-law? I was the one who spotted it first!" Brother Chen said proudly, boasting that he had good taste.
Chen Ting didn't have time to rest at all; she still had a pile of clothes waiting for her.
She spread out those old-fashioned clothes in the room and started gesturing with them in piles.
The family watched, completely bewildered. "Sis, what are you doing?"
"My dear daughter, these clothes don't look good on you at all!" Chen's mother was also a little worried. She didn't think the clothes were good-looking at all, so how was her daughter going to sell them?
"Oh my god, this is so cheap! Only 3 yuan a piece! And you'll see once I alter it!"
"Three yuan!" Sister-in-law Chen was excited. Although the clothes were a bit ugly, the material felt thick and sturdy. You couldn't buy them for three yuan at the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Oh dear, little sister, could you sell a few of these to my sister-in-law?" Sister-in-law Chen wanted to buy some for her family. She could take them back and remodel them. Besides, people in the countryside don't have so many requirements; they don't have to wear nice clothes.
Chen Ersao also watched eagerly, clearly she had thought of it too.
"What do you need to buy? I'll just give you each a few items. But, sisters-in-law, I happen to have something I'd like to ask you for help with!" Chen Ting rubbed her hands together, revealing her true purpose.
She can't do all these clothes alterations by herself alone. With her family helping out, the process will be much faster, and she's looking forward to selling the goods.
Sister-in-law Chen couldn't be happier. She didn't have to spend any money; she only had to help out to get a few pieces of clothing. They all patted their chests and guaranteed that they would definitely alter them for her.
Chen Ting breathed a sigh of relief. She had taken 1000 of these clothes; time was of the essence!
After explaining the changes to her family, her sisters-in-law and mother started working.
"Hey, you know what, this outfit looks really good on you now that you've put it on!"
In reality, Chen Ting simply sewed some pretty plastic beads or sequins onto those unattractive clothes, such as a heart, a flower, a five-pointed star, or strung them together to pretend they were necklaces.
In short, the embellishment of these beads instantly made the drab clothes fashionable.
The clothing makeover project was finally on track, and Chen Ting started selling the goods with her third brother.
"Sis, how much do you want for this polyester fabric? And how much for these clothes?"
"Twenty! All of them, twenty!"
The polyester fabrics in the 20-yuan range do sell very well, but while everyone is tempted by the redesigned clothes, no one actually buys them.
Fortunately, Chen Ting immediately adjusted her strategy, saying that this was the latest style from Shenzhen, the most popular clothing style right now.
Many young girls started to get excited, and once one person started buying it, others would follow suit.
Gradually, more and more people gathered around, and the clothes were bought one by one.
Brother Chen was so happy he couldn't stop smiling, and he was having a great time helping to collect the money.
After selling her clothes in the city, Chen Ting went to the county to sell them. In the end, she ran out of beads and other items, but still had clothes left, so she went to the rural market to sell them off for 9.9 yuan each.
In short, he made a fortune and finally took a solid first step on the road to wealth.
While Chen Ting was happily making money, Chen Ying's situation was not so good.
"Why don't you give me your salary?!" Chen Ying roared.
Why did she marry He Lin? Wasn't it to live a good life? But now He Lin isn't paying her her salary.
They said they'd give her ten yuan a month for household expenses. Ten yuan a month for a family of six, what can you buy?
He Lin's mother often talked about a balanced diet of meat and vegetables, and told her to buy more meat.
“Yingzi, you don’t have a job, and we have three children to raise. We need to save some money. Isn’t 10 yuan a month enough for household expenses?” He Lin said with a frown.
Chen Ying was screaming in her heart: These three children aren't even hers! What kind of children are they?! And there's only 10 yuan a month, how can that even cover food?!
However, she held back her anger, telling herself to think about the big house and car she would have in the future.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Chen Ying said, suppressing her grievances.
"I knew it, Yingzi, you're the most virtuous one!"
Chen Ying felt like throwing up. Could it be that the big house and car she would own in the future were saved up like this?
