After a good start, their cart was soon surrounded by people on the inside and outside.
Yu Xiangnian is responsible for collecting money, while Wang Hongxiang and Liu Zhen are responsible for looking after the stalls.
In just two hours, all 500 pairs of rain boots were sold out, and there were still many people standing around who couldn't buy any.
Yu Xiangnian asked them to come back tomorrow. They will be selling rain boots here these days.
After everyone dispersed, Yu Xiangnian gave Wang Hongxiang and Liu Zhen fifty yuan each.
Liu Zhen looked at the fifty yuan in her hand, her hands trembling with excitement, "It's so much money in one night, it's almost as much as Lao Xiao's monthly salary."
Wang Hongxiang's eyes turned into lines when she smiled, "I have to save this money for my personal income. If I want to buy something in the future, I don't have to ask Dong Minghao for money."
The three of them pushed the trolley home, chatting happily all the way.
While chatting, Yu Xiangnian was planning to sell rain boots tomorrow.
Tonight, five hundred pairs of rain boots should bring in one thousand yuan, but when she counted the money just now, she found that it was only nine hundred and seventy-six yuan.
In other words, someone took advantage of the chaos and took the rain boots without paying.
"I think this cart can still be loaded. I want to haul a thousand pairs of rain boots tomorrow, and I want to find someone to help. Do you have the right person?" Yu Xiangnian asked.
Liu Zhen said: "How about Li Guihua? She is very strong. The three of us will take turns pulling the cart tomorrow, so you don't have to help push the cart."
She saw Yu Xiangnian pushing the cart today, and the veins on her neck popped out.
Yu Xiangnian thought of Li Guihua who was beaten by a man and ran away with her head in her arms, and said with some disbelief: "She is very strong?"
Liu Zhen smiled and said, "Really, I have seen her able to move the stone mortar in the courtyard by herself."
Yu Xiangnian knew that the stone mortar was quite large. It was placed in the yard of the family courtyard and was specially used for pounding things by military families.
"Okay, then sister-in-law Liu Zhen, please go talk to her." Yu Xiangnian said.
"It's no trouble. Everyone is making money. It's not too late to be happy."
The three of them had agreed in advance not to spread the matter, fearing that someone would be jealous and report them.
When he returned home, Xiaojie was already asleep, and Cheng Jingmo was reading a book alone in the main room.
In fact, he was thinking about Xiang Nian.
After Yu Xiangnian had dinner, she told him that she had something to go out and left.
It was late at night and he had been there for four or five hours. He was really worried.
Cheng Jingmo took a sneak peek into the bedroom and saw Yu Xiangnian take out a thick wad of money from his bag, put it in the drawer and lock it.
He has never seen so much money!
He remembered what Xiaojie said that Yu Xiangnian wanted to make a lot of money and buy a big house to move out.
There was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Yu Xiangnian came out with her pajamas in her arms and was about to take a shower. Cheng Jingmo stopped her, "Comrade Yu Xiangnian, where did you get so much money?"
Yu Xiangnian glanced at him emotionlessly, said "Don't ask about sister-in-law's affairs!" and went to take a shower.
Cheng Jingmo: "..."
He doesn’t want to inquire about any sister-in-law!
He is worried that Yu Xiangnian will make mistakes in order to make money!
When Yu Xiangnian came out of the shower, Cheng Jingmo was still waiting for her in the main room.
Cheng Jingmo took out a lot of large stickers from his jacket pocket and handed them to Yu Xiangnian, "Take these money."
Today he asked someone to go to the logistics department to inquire about Yu Xiangnian's resignation and found out that she had borrowed two hundred yuan from Bai Mei and would pay it back on Saturday.
He asked a few comrades to borrow some money, and together with his own money, he gave Yu Xiangnian 260 yuan together.
Yu Xiangnian glanced at the money lightly, then looked at Cheng Jingmo and said, "I don't want it, you can keep it for yourself."
Late concern is worse than grass.
Yesterday, he didn't even say a word of comfort. Today, she has found a way to make money. Who cares about his little money!
Cheng Jingmo was very persistent in giving her the money, "I know you owe others money, you should pay it back first."
Yu Xiangnian felt aggrieved when he mentioned the money he owed.
Obviously she never borrowed a penny, it was Bai Mei and Ding Yunfei who worked together to defraud her.
But the two people on the other side kept saying that she borrowed the money, but she couldn't argue.
She pushed Cheng Jingmo's hand holding the money away and said, "I won't ask for your money!" Then she angrily returned to the bedroom.
Cheng Jingmo watched as the bedroom door was slammed shut.
He felt that he and Yu Xiangnian had been close and peaceful for more than half a month. Because of her resignation, their relationship suddenly returned to its original point.
Yu Xiangnian took a late nap the next day. When he got up, Cheng Jingmo and Xiaojie had already gone out.
After dinner, Yu Xiangnian went out again.
In order not to attract others' attention, the four of them went their separate ways and met at the entrance of the daily chemical factory.
Today, they counted a thousand pairs of rain boots and pulled them onto the cart.
Li Guihua, Liu Zhen, and Wang Hongxiang took turns pulling the cart. When one person was pulling, the other two were pushing behind.
All three of them could see that Yu Xiangnian had never done any hard work, and they only let her ride the trolley when going uphill or in places with big potholes.
As soon as we arrived at the black market, a group of people gathered around to buy rain boots.
They all heard the propaganda from those who bought rain boots yesterday, saying that their rain boots were cheap and of good quality.
Yu Xiangnian was responsible for collecting the money, and the three people were responsible for selling. In a short time, they bought seventy or eighty pairs.
At this time, the two men who collected the management fee yesterday came again and said that they would collect a management fee of ten yuan today.
Yesterday it was two yuan, today it is ten yuan, wouldn’t it cost twenty yuan tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow?
This is obviously an extortion of money!
Yu Xiangnian started arguing with the two men.
A man pushed her shoulder and said, "This is the management fee! If you want to do business here, you have to listen to us!"
Yu Xiangnian was pushed back a step, but she was not timid. She puffed up her chest and said, "I obey the management, but your charges are not in compliance with the rules. Yesterday it was only two yuan, and today it is ten yuan. How can anyone like you want to charge so much?" Just charge as much as you want!”
"Is it against the rules?" The man smiled, "This situation is all Brother Ping's. I will charge whatever Brother Ping says."
Yu Xiangnian saw that there were still many people waiting to buy rain boots, and said, "There are so many people here now. When I sell the rain boots, I will go to Brother Ping and ask him, where can I find him?"
"Brother Ping, you can meet him whenever you want?" The man showed a fierce expression, "I tell you, if you don't pay the ten dollars now, I will overturn your cart, and you won't be able to enter this place to do business in the future!"
Yu Xiangnian didn't want to cause trouble, but he couldn't let others bully him.
I was thinking about paying ten yuan first and then going to Brother Ping to reason with him after buying the rain boots.
Suddenly, I heard a shout: "The police are coming, run!"
The scene suddenly became chaotic. Those selling things quickly packed up their things and ran away, and those buying things ran even faster.
"Run!" Yu Xiangnian pushed up the cart and shouted to the three people who were still in a daze.
The three people had never experienced such a scene, and they were so frightened that they didn't even care about the cart and Yu Xiangnian, and ran away.
Yu Xiangnian pushed the cart with all his strength, even as hard as he could to feed, but he was still as slow as a turtle.
Suddenly, a pair of big hands grasped the handlebar, and then a deep voice said, "Get out of the way, I'll do it."
