"Mom, it's rare to come to the county town once, why don't we take a stroll?"
Zhong Tingyue had this intention. The tuition fee for her youngest son to re-enroll in school suddenly made her family very poor. She also wanted to see what business she could do.
"Then let's take a look."
Song Qingrong nodded. Although she still didn't like her mother-in-law very much, she readily agreed to let Changmian study and did what she said. In order to prevent Changmian from having to worry about her future, she would naturally not be like before. Argue with her.
It was a rare harmony between the two. After walking around, Zhong Tingyue felt a little tired. She found a place, ordered two bowls of noodles and sat down with Song Qingrong to eat.
"What kind of business do you think we could do?"
Zhong Tingyue couldn't find anyone to discuss with at this moment, so she looked at her daughter-in-law opposite.
Song Qingrong paused with the chopsticks in her hand and replied: "When we were working in the embroidery workshop, the manager would ask us to learn to embroider according to some fashionable pattern. I think this county also has many things that are not available in the town. Maybe I can make money by buying it in town."
Zhong Tingyue slapped her thigh after hearing this. This is indeed the truth. How many things only become popular in first-tier cities before reaching the second and third tiers?
Things that the city kids are tired of seeing must be strange to the people in the town, and so are the adults. After all, the transportation is not developed now, so not many people are willing to come to the county.
If that's the case, can she also buy some things from the county and sell them back? But what should I buy... Zhong Tingyue ate the noodles and looked at the passers-by on the road, thinking, and then her eyes lit up, Zhuhua!
She has seen a lot of them, and they are more beautiful than what people in the county wear now. Maybe she can give them a try?
Song Qingrong raised her head and glanced at Zhong Tingyue. She always felt that her mother-in-law was a little strange now. Although she still said the same thing as before, many things were no longer unreasonable. Now she was still thinking about making money? This has never been the case before.
Zhong Tingyue was completely unaware that Song Qingrong was sizing her up. After eating the noodles quickly, she stood up to pay and looked at Song Qingrong and asked.
"I'm going to buy some pearl flowers, will you go?"
Song Qingrong nodded slightly, thinking that she was interested in beauty, so she followed her. The two of them picked and selected. When they saw that she bought so many, they immediately felt that she had fallen into one of her old habits, and her tone of voice was a little bad.
"Mom, you can't wear them all after buying so many. If you have the spare money, why not buy some food?"
When Zhong Tingyue heard her talking like this, she glanced at her lightly and said in a tone of voice, "I use this money for business."
Seeing her cold eyes and saying this again, Song Qingrong closed her mouth.
The two of them took the bullock cart home before dark.
Zhong Tingyue also bought a bunch of candied haws for one of the three children in her family. Song Qingrong was so shocked that she was speechless.
"Grandma, you're back!"
Shen Nuo was most excited when he saw Zhong Tingyue coming back and ran over quickly.
Zhong Tingyue picked her up, handed over a bunch of candied haws in her hand, looked at her lovely granddaughter and said.
"Hey, I bought it for Nono."
Seeing this, the other two hurriedly came over: "Grandma, Huahua wants it too!"
Zhong Tingyue narrowed her eyes with a smile and divided the candied haws in her hand: "One bunch for each person."
After saying that, she looked at her eldest daughter-in-law who was in a daze beside her and sighed slightly.
Because of what happened last time, the eldest daughter-in-law has not been in a good mood recently, but there are some things that no one else says, so she has to figure it out on her own.
However, she naturally would not treat her eldest daughter-in-law badly, so she called all three daughters-in-law aside and expressed her new ideas.
"Now I have a new idea of selling pearl flowers. I will take the ones I bought in the county and sell them in the town to see what the response is. People in the town are not as wealthy as those in the county. Let's go to the county to buy those with the same pattern but poor quality. Take it back and sell it at a low price, and you can make money from it.”
Tang Yulian's eyes lit up when she heard this.
"Mom, I think your idea is very good."
Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips. She originally thought of doing it herself, but now they have no money or capital. If they do it themselves, the cost will be too high and the money will come slowly, so it is better to make enough of the difference first. Say it again.
Zhong Tingyue hummed and then said: "Jinxiu has also started the bamboo weaving business. I will leave this to you in the future. The family must be engaged in other businesses, so this bamboo weaving can be taught to some aunts in the village and let them Come help.”
As soon as these words came out, Wen Jinxiu became a little anxious: "Mom, wouldn't that be copied by others?"
"There are so many stages of bamboo weaving. You let others do the simplest and most common ones, and you do the rest yourself. Later, it depends on who has good character and you can teach others to do it. But otherwise, you have to weave one on every bamboo weave sold. The word "Chen" means that even if someone wants to pass it off as himself and sell it, there is nothing they can do."
After Wen Jinxiu heard this, although she understood it, she was still a little scared.
"What if, what if I can't do it well?"
Seeing her like this, Zhong Tingyue sighed deeply and pretended to be unhappy: "I believe you. If you don't believe in yourself, if you don't do well, just get out."
Sure enough, as soon as Wen Jinxiu heard her say that, she never mentioned it again.
Zhong Tingyue didn't think that her eldest daughter-in-law would mess up this matter. She had potential, but she was too soft-tempered and had to be forced to do some things.
She turned to Tang Yulian again.
"I plan to leave this pearl flower business to Yu Lian. I will buy it with you at the beginning, and when it becomes stable later, I will let you take care of it yourself. What do you think?"
The second daughter-in-law has a lively and cheerful personality and is good at dealing with people. Moreover, she is not just here to sell beads and flowers. If she has enough money, she can also set up a shop in the town to sell some things that are not available in the town.
"Okay!" Tang Yulian agreed.
Song Qingrong was the only one listening silently. It seemed like there was nothing wrong with her? For the first time, I felt that my mother-in-law not talking to me would actually make me feel lost.
She waved the thoughts in her mind. She would just stay at home and take care of her baby these days.
Zhong Tingyue looked at Song Qingrong, thought for a while and said: "I want to make some good-looking cloth bags. You'd better embroider a word "Chen" on it with some patterns. Then you won't go to town in the future, and your home will be nice. We need help.”
Song Qingrong was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that she had something to do, but she agreed without any hesitation.
After thinking about it, Zhong Tingyue took out three more beads suitable for adults and two suitable for children and placed them on their hands.
"Seeing that you don't have any jewelry on your head, take these beads and flowers and wear them."
The three of them looked at each other in surprise and didn't answer.
