Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Seeing that Yan Fugui didn't listen to her advice and the reasons he gave left her with no excuse to refute, the daughter-in-law could only settle for the next best option.

Looking at Yan Fugui who was still counting his assets, he spoke again: "Then how much money do you plan to take out to make money with Xu Damao..."

"Will it not drain all our family assets?"

"For safety reasons, I think we should just take two thousand dollars at most and go with Xu Damao to make a fortune."

"And we need to find out what Xu Damao is doing outside first."

Seeing that his wife no longer opposed him and Xu Damao to make big money together, Yan Fugui immediately said: "Don't worry, old lady..."

"Your man has been scheming in Siheyuan for his entire life. Could it be possible that he would be schemed against by a junior like Xu Damao?"

"I must first find out what this kid is doing outside before deciding whether to go out with him to make big money."

"My money didn't come from the strong wind."

"Make sure our pension money won't be lost."

"Tomorrow go to the market and buy some meat and a bottle of good wine. I want to invite Xu Damao to dinner at my house."

"The eldest and second sons were instigated by their wives to separate from us. We cannot rely on them for our future retirement. We can only find a way to rely on ourselves."

"If I could earn a lot of money."

"Not only will our retirement be taken care of, but maybe the eldest and second sons will come back to us and try to please us for the sake of this money."

"When that time comes, I will let the eldest and second sons divorce their wives..."

"How dare you say that our two sons want to separate from us? Our Yan family cannot afford such daughters-in-law."

Hearing that the family could force the eldest and second sons back after making money, the daughter-in-law who kept thinking about her grandsons was completely convinced by Yan Fugui and immediately said, "Old man, you are the head of the family, I will listen to you."

…………

The backyard of Liu Haizhong's house.

At this time last year, Liu Haizhong officially retired from the steel rolling mill and began his retirement life.

However, because he had been using corporal punishment on his sons for a long time, the three sons had no close relationship with him.

Almost all of them separated from him and moved out right after they got married.

Until now, Liu Haizhong and his wife have been living in the west wing of the backyard.

The once bustling Liu family became deserted because of the separation of the three sons. As the relationship between the father and sons was very bad, the sons seldom came home, and it was rare to see a lively family throughout the year.

Compared with Yan Fugui, Liu Haizhong's salary at the steel rolling mill is much higher.

But because Liu Haizhong was not as stingy as Yan Fugui and did not make so many calculations in his daily life, the savings in Liu Haizhong's hands were actually less than Yan Fugui's, only less than three thousand yuan.

With the current prices in Beijing, plus the pension Liu Haizhong receives from the steel mill every month, the old couple should have no problem living on their retirement years.

People without thought, he must worry about.

Perhaps because his three sons often did not come back to see him, Liu Haizhong unknowingly gave up the idea of ​​asking his three sons to help him with his old age.

Therefore, in the face of the increasingly high prices in the city, Liu Haizhong has begun to plan how to earn more money to prevent the pension money in his hands from being enough for his retirement when prices continue to rise.

For this purpose, he even went to several private steel mills to see if they needed experienced blacksmiths. After all, his skills were there.

Even though his physical strength had declined due to his age, he could still be a technical instructor for private steel mills. Xu Damao's sudden return to the courtyard showed Liu Haizhong another way to make a lot of money.

When he saw Xu Damao for the first time, even though Liu Haizhong was usually knowledgeable, he was still shocked by Xu Damao's outfit. His first reaction was that Xu Damao must have made a lot of money outside.

Considering that Xu Damao had always had a good relationship with herself in Siheyuan, she immediately came up with the idea of ​​asking Xu Damao to take her out to make a lot of money.

Moreover, once this thought appeared, there was no sign of it disappearing, and it kept lingering in his mind.

Seeing that her husband had been sitting in the chair, thinking about something and not saying anything since the moment he saw Xu Damao, the second aunt's face was full of anxiety.

He wanted to interrupt Liu Haizhong who was lost in thought several times, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

Ever since his three sons separated from the family business, Liu Haizhong's temper has become more and more irritable.

In the past, he only beat his three sons, but now when he is in a bad mood, even his wife will be beaten.

The second aunt was afraid that she would interrupt Liu Haizhong's thoughts and cause Liu Haizhong's dissatisfaction, and finally be beaten by him.

It was not until it was dark outside that Liu Haizhong came out of his thoughts.

Seeing that the food was already on the table, he ate while saying to the second aunt: "Old lady..."

"Remember to go to the market tomorrow and buy two pounds of pork, an old hen, and a bottle of wine. I want to treat Xu Damao to a meal..."

…………

At this moment, Xu Damao, who was having dinner at his parents' house, had no idea that he had become a popular figure in the courtyard, and several neighbors were planning to treat him to a meal.

Facing his father Xu Fugui's repeated questioning, Xu Damao was explaining to them whether he had really made a fortune outside.

"father……"

"Don't worry, I didn't mess around outside..."

"I'm just doing foreign trade business with a group of people..."

"Spend money to buy foreign goods imported by others, then send them to the mainland to sell, and make a profit from the difference..."

"Not every place is as developed as our city. In many places, there are less than 100 radios in a county."

"I bought a batch of radios from a dealer for 120 yuan, and when I sent them to the county towns, I could sell them for at least 150 yuan, or even 160 yuan."

"You can easily earn hundreds or even thousands of dollars with just one trip."

"My son has earned nearly 10,000 yuan so far."

"It's just that we are a little short of manpower, so I wanted to come back and see if I can find one or two helpers."

"With a helper, I can buy dozens of radios at a time and send them to the mainland to sell... I can even buy some televisions to sell, that's what I call making a lot of money."

"You can easily earn more than 100 yuan by selling a TV set."

"I know a brother who does foreign trade business like me. He has earned more than 100,000 yuan and even drives a motorcycle. I am still riding a bicycle..."

"I heard that if I make a few more trips, I can buy a car with the money I earn..."

"My goal is to buy a car next year and take you for a ride around the city, so that all the neighbors know that you have a promising son." (End of this chapter)
