It was all loose change.

The couple counted for a long time before they could count it all.

The total came to 280.2 yuan. Zhao Binghe was a bit confused, unsure how much Zhang Guiying had spent on the project. "Did she make a profit or not?"

"Of course we made money! What's the point of working so hard if we didn't?"

Zhang Guiying took off her hat and mask, wiped her sweat, and said, "There are 50 yuan in here that I exchanged for change beforehand. I spent 170 yuan on pig's head and pork belly, 12 yuan on vegetables, and 8 yuan on seasonings, spices, and other miscellaneous things."

Zhang Guiying counted out the initial investment one by one, then pushed the remaining small pile to Zhao Binghe, saying, "Count it, this is all pure profit."

"So many?"

"Count quickly."

Zhao Binghe sorted out the money, becoming more and more shocked as he counted it, his breathing becoming more and more rapid. "38, 39, 40... 40.1 yuan, 40.2 yuan, wow! I made 40.2 yuan after a whole morning of setting up a stall? God, am I dreaming?"

Zhang Guiying reached out and pinched Zhao Binghe's waist hard. "Does it hurt?"

Zhao Binghe grimaced, jumping up and down in pain, "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! It's not a dream! It's not a dream!"

"I earned half a month's salary in one morning. If I set up a stall both in the morning and evening, I'd make 80 a day, 2400 a month, and 28800 a year!!!"

I didn't drink any alcohol.

Zhao Binghe, however, felt a little dizzy.

My feet felt light and airy, like I was walking on clouds, and it was a little hard to breathe.

Zhang Guiying was also very happy, but not as distraught as Zhao Binghe. She had a general idea of ​​how much she had prepared and how much money she could make.

Seeing that Zhao Binghe was already dreaming, she immediately poured cold water on his idea, "What are you thinking? Selling braised pork is only profitable in the summer. Who eats cold dishes when it gets cold?"

"I reckon I can only sell until the National Day holiday at most, then business will be tough. The cotton mill only closes for four days a month, and we can't set up a stall if the weather is bad. I'll be lucky to earn 2000 a month, where am I going to earn 2400?"

Listen to this!

Listen to this!

What kind of talk is that?!

Zhao Binghe's blood rushed to his head, and he was so excited he almost fainted. "That's 2000 yuan! We can't earn that much in a year of working! Even if we can only set up shop for a little over two months, we can still make a lot of money!"

Zhao Binghe was overjoyed.

He cupped Zhang Guiying's face in his hands and kissed her cheeks several times. "My wife, how can you be so amazing? I must have been blessed by my ancestors... no, no, my ancestors must have exploded to be able to marry you."

Zhang Guiying was very proud of herself. She plopped down on a chair and said, "I'm exhausted. Go get my mother a basin of water to wash her face."

Zhao Binghe went off eagerly.

He brought the water, rinsed the towel, and thoughtfully poured a glass of cool boiled water. "Honey, are you hungry? What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you."

Zhang Guiying wasn't hungry at all.

It was too hot. She had been busy in the kitchen for half a day and had been smelling the cooking fumes for just as long, so she didn't feel like eating at all.

After washing her face and drinking a glass of cool water, Zhang Guiying felt a little cooler. She turned her head and saw Zhao Binghe's face beaming with joy, still excitedly saying, "We're going to be rich! We're going to be rich! Our family is going to be rich!"

"What do you mean 'our family'? It means we're going to get rich!"

"what?"

Zhao Binghe realized what was happening, "You don't tell the kids about making money?"

"Tell me nothing!"

Zhang Guiying sneered, "If those ungrateful bastards knew I was making money, they'd be swarming around me like leeches! When we were getting a fixed salary, they were like leeches, crawling all over us and sucking our blood!"

"If you knew we had ways to make money, who knows what kind of despicable and shameless things we might do!"

Deal with those ungrateful wretches.

Zhang Guiying has plenty of strength and resources.

But she wasn't afraid of thieves stealing, she was afraid of thieves eyeing her. Zhang Guiying's hands were meant to earn money, and she didn't want to waste them slapping those ungrateful wretches.

I think of those ungrateful wretches.

Zhao Binghe felt a tightness in his chest.

Zhang Guiying warned him, "I kicked those ungrateful wretches out and never intended for them to come back. If you dare to plead for them or speak up for them, you'll all be kicked out along with them!"

"..."

Zhao Binghe got angry, "I won't say! I won't say! Whoever your enemy is, that's who I'll be. No matter who you fight, I'll definitely be on your side."

That's more like it.

Zhang Guiying was satisfied.

Zhao Binghe added, "It's one thing if the few who were chased away don't know, but Xueyi, Xiazhi, and Qiuzhi know you're setting up a stall, so it's not necessarily true that you can keep it a secret."

"They know I go out to set up a stall, but they don't know how much money I make. As long as we don't tell them, they can't just take money out of my pocket and count it."

Also.

Zhao Binghe was immediately persuaded.

As long as his wife doesn't keep an eye on him, that's fine.

Zhang Guiying was indeed wary of Zhao Xueyi. She knew him too well; he was cunning, lazy, and treacherous. Whenever he was at home, he would lie down rather than sit, and sit rather than stand.

If Zhao Xueyi knew that she could make so much money from her stall, he might quit his job and go home to live off his parents.

Zhang Guiying had no intention of supporting him.

……

Zhang Guiying's life is getting better.

Chen Baozhu was so angry that she was practically fuming.

After she and Zhao Limin were kicked out of their home, they moved into her parents' house. She originally thought that Zhao Binghe and Zhang Guiying would come to apologize within three days at most.

But half a month has already passed.

There was no movement from the two old men.

Not only Chen Baozhu, but even Chen's father and mother were angry. After work and dinner that day, Chen's father, with a stern face, called Zhao Limin into the yard. "Limin, what's going on with your parents? They kicked the three of you out and then ignored you? What kind of parents are these!"

"..."

Zhao Limin was filled with shame.

He's been holding in a lot of anger for the past two weeks.

He was the eldest child in his family, and he always had to give way to his younger siblings. It wasn't easy for him to get to where he is today. Just because he didn't care about his father and hid some money from his own pocket, his parents cruelly kicked his family out and abandoned them.

How could there be such heartless and cruel parents in the world!

Zhao Limin retorted angrily, "Who knows why those two are different from other parents? They can just ignore us and leave us alone. Baozhu and I are doing just fine without them!"

"Don't say things in anger."

Mr. Chen didn't want Zhao Limin to break with the family. If they did, who would support his daughter? His daughter would be more willing to spend money on her family if she had money.

Chen's father patted Zhao Limin on the shoulder and advised, "Children and parents don't hold grudges overnight. This stalemate isn't going to work. How about this, tomorrow you take some time to go back and have a good talk with your parents, persuade them to soften their stance and come pick up your family of three."

"Your mother and I will also try to persuade Baozhu to calm down."

"We're all family, how can we really never see each other again for the rest of our lives?"

Zhao Limin remained silent.

He had no intention of backing down.

Seeing that he was unmoved, Chen's father pressed on, "I remember your brother's wife doesn't seem to have a job. Now that the four policies have been implemented, there are only two months left before they are officially put into effect. Since you and Baozhu are not at home, they will use sweet words to coax your mother out of her job. Then you and Baozhu will have no tears left to cry."

Don't say it.

That's quite possible.

Zhang Xia has wanted her mother to have a job for a long time.

Both he and Baozhu were assigned jobs by the government; their parents didn't help at all.

The job that the third son got after returning to the city from the countryside was bought with money from his parents. The third son's family has already benefited greatly, and now they want his mother's job too?

Why should I?!

Zhao Limin immediately became restless.
