Old Lady Zhang's Rebirth: Going Mad! Severing Ties with Family! Becoming Incredibly Rich!

My heart is pounding with excitement.

Trembling hands.

Suppressing her excitement, Zhang Guiying announced, "Gan Wenfang from the cotton mill offered the highest price, 7100 yuan!"

"..."

Everyone present gasped.

Zhang Guiying herself was also very excited. She thought that this job could earn her a little over 5,000 yuan, but she never even dared to dream of earning more than 7,000 yuan.

What does 7100 yuan mean?

At the current wages in the cotton mill, it would take ten years to break even if they didn't eat or drink.

In the words of later generations.

This is practically working on a loan.

But Zhang Guiying also understands. For their generation, no matter how well-paying other jobs are, none are as stable and respectable as a secure job. Spending a few thousand yuan to buy lifelong security for their child is a worthwhile investment no matter how you look at it.

Unfortunately, they didn't know.

A few years later, a large number of state-owned enterprises went bankrupt, workers were laid off one after another, and the so-called era of the "iron rice bowl" was gone forever.

Zhang Guiying couldn't manage anything else.

All she wants now is to get a good price for her job.

After saying a few polite words and seeing her colleagues and neighbors off, Zhang Guiying returned to the courtyard and chatted with Gan Wenfang about the details.

Both sides were afraid that the other would back out.

They agreed that Zhang Guiying would go to the hospital to get a sick certificate today, and go to the factory tomorrow to complete the procedures for medical retirement and work replacement. In this regard, Gan Wenfang paid Zhang Guiying a deposit of 500 yuan in the presence of Li Meifeng.

"Comrade Guiying, we've already paid the deposit, so you can't tell anyone else that you're selling your job."

This was because she was afraid someone would offer a higher price and Zhang Guiying would sell the job to someone else. But Zhang Guiying wasn't that kind of person, so she immediately assured them, "Comrade Wenfang, don't worry. One must be honest. Since we've reached an agreement, even if someone else offers a higher price, I will not break the agreement. Let's go to the factory on time tomorrow to complete the formalities."

Gan Wenfang left with peace of mind.

After everyone left, Zhao Binghe was still in a daze. "7100? Guiying, your job can actually sell for 7100? Good heavens, how come that woman was so rich?"

There are several thousand workers in the cotton mill.

Zhang Guiying did not know Gan Wenfang.

Li Meifeng knew her and explained, "Gan Wenfang and her husband are both employed. Their son went into business a couple of years ago and made a lot of money. Their family is well-off, but their daughter doesn't have a formal job. Now that the policy has been implemented, of course they want to find a formal job for her so that she can find a good husband in the future."

Then he praised Guiying, "What's with your secret bidding? It's a good idea. It doesn't hurt feelings and it can raise the price. Gan Wenfang originally planned to spend more than six thousand to buy a job for her daughter, but she was probably afraid that others would offer more than her, so she raised the price to the maximum."

She wrote the money herself.

If you bid too high, you can't blame anyone else.

Li Meifeng gave Zhang Guiying a thumbs up, "It has to be Guiying, she's so smart."

Zhang Guiying learned these skills from watching short videos in later generations; otherwise, how would she know them? Zhang Guiying then asked Li Meifeng for a favor, "Meifeng, could you keep an eye out for anyone in our village who wants to sell their house?"

Li Meifeng asked her, "Are you buying the house for your child's wedding?"

He then added tactfully, "You didn't buy a house for your eldest and third children's weddings, but you'll need to buy one for your fourth and fifth children's weddings. Your eldest and third children probably won't be happy about that."

"I'm not going to buy them a house."

"Then why did you buy a house?"

Of course, it's for the demolition compensation.

Zhang Guiying's village, Shuiguang Village, is located in the south of the city. Although it is a village, it is located on a bustling main street just outside the alley, making it a very good location.

In the late 1980s, the city expanded southward.

Shuiguang Village was the first urban village to be demolished.

Everyone nowadays aspires to live in apartment buildings, and village houses are still relatively inexpensive. Zhang Guiying plans to buy two more houses before the demolition.

This way, when the land is demolished and redeveloped, her and Zhao Binghe's retirement will be secure.

But I can't say this to Li Meifeng.

Zhang Guiying could only say, "If I earn so much money from my work, those ungrateful kids at home will definitely come after me. They'll be causing trouble every few days. Who can stand that?"

"Just spend the money and stop them from thinking about it."

"If we buy a house and rent it out, the monthly rent will be enough for Zhao Binghe and me to live on. Even if those ungrateful people don't support us in the future, at least we won't lack money when we get old."

"..."

Li Meifeng choked at first, then comforted her, "Guiying, don't be so pessimistic. I think your third and fifth sons... well, never mind, you should still buy a house."

Li Meifeng simply couldn't bring herself to say anything complimentary.

Zhang Guiying, "..."

Zhao Binghe, "..."

That's a bit harsh, sister!

Li Meifeng asked Zhang Guiying about her requirements for the house. Zhang Guiying didn't live there herself and didn't have high requirements. She only mentioned three points: "It needs to be livable, big enough, and reasonably priced."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you."

The village houses served as public toilets, stinking in the summer and freezing in the winter, making life extremely inconvenient. Families with the means preferred to sell their village houses and buy apartments.

Buying a house shouldn't be too difficult.

Zhang Guiying didn't stand on ceremony with Li Meifeng, saying, "I'll treat you to a meal after I buy the house."

"Why go out to a restaurant? Just cook me a feast. I've been craving your cooking for ages."

"OK!"

It's agreed over here.

Zhang Guiying went to the hospital with Zhao Binghe to get the medical records done. Zhao Qiuzhi helped with the connection. After the medical records were done, neither of them mentioned going to the ward to see Zhao Chunzhi.

The next morning.

Zhang Guiying and Gan Wenfang met at the entrance of the cotton mill.

The procedures for medical retirement and handover were completed that morning.

After leaving the cotton mill, Zhao Binghe waited outside with his bankbook. He was worried that it wouldn't be safe for Zhang Guiying to carry so much money alone, so he took a day off to be with her.

"Sold?"

"Sold!"

Zhang Guiying opened the bulging cloth bag for Zhao Binghe to see. When Zhao Binghe saw stacks of brand-new ten-yuan notes, his eyes widened. "My goodness! Let's hurry to the bank and deposit the money!"

Zhao Binghe brought the 500 yuan deposit from yesterday, as well as the 1470 yuan he had previously asked Song Mingyu for.

Zhang Guiying kept 1000 yuan with her and deposited the rest in the bank.

I left the bank.

Zhang Guiying's face lit up with a smile as she looked at the numbers on the passbook.

When she was reborn, she had 1180 in her savings account. In less than ten days, it has now grown to 12750.

This doesn't even include the 1000 yuan she left behind.

With money in hand, Zhang Guiying immediately felt more confident. She jumped onto the back of the bicycle and said, "Let's go to the furniture market and buy a bed and a wardrobe. I want to enjoy myself too."

"Walk!"

The bed in the house was part of Zhang Guiying's dowry when she got married.

Later, all four bed legs broke down, so Zhao Binghe simply sawed them off, leaving only the bed board. He then found three long benches to support it, and the couple made do with that for several years.

I was originally planning to replace it when I had the money.

But there are many expenses at home, so I haven't been able to bring myself to buy it.

The couple immediately rode their bikes to the furniture market and picked out a 1.5-meter double wooden bed, as well as a large three-dimensional cabinet that could hang clothes. They left their address and arranged for the furniture to be delivered to their home.

We've been poor for too long.

Zhang Guiying wanted to buy everything she saw.

The couple spent half the day browsing the furniture market before heading home as it was getting dark.

As soon as they arrived home, Zhang Xia, who had been waiting by the door, immediately came over to open it. "Mom, the furniture market people just delivered the bed and wardrobe. Chengxin and I have already helped you carry them into the house, and the new bed has been made up for you."

"You must be exhausted after a day of shopping, Mom. Come and sit down and rest."

"I went to the department store today and saw some nice clothes, so I bought you a new outfit."

She rushed into the house and soon returned with a blue and white floral short-sleeved shirt and a black knee-length skirt made of polyester fabric. She approached with a beaming smile and said, "I said it's a new style that's popular in Guangzhou. Mom, take a look and see if you like it. If you like it, keep it. If you don't, I'll go to the department store tomorrow and get you a different style."

That fawning manner.

They practically wore their secret thoughts on their sleeves.
