Jing Shao is infertile, but his nanny is pregnant with his child.

Lu Yan pointed to the off-white wool sweater she was wearing underneath. "You can get one of these for 25 yuan, while the market price is usually around 39 yuan. You also need industrial coupons. We don't need industrial coupons, so you can price it at around 50 yuan. The more expensive you sell it, the more you earn."

At that time, there was no off-white color available. Wearing it made one look energetic and fair-skinned, so it sold very quickly.

After Lu Yan's explanation, Zhou Nuannuan and Zhou Yanxing immediately understood.

Zhou Yanxing asked again, "Sister Yan, are you sure you don't want the industrial vouchers?"

A wool sweater in a department store requires at least 80 industrial coupons, and a better one requires more than 100. An ordinary worker only has a few dozen coupons per month, and it would take more than half a year to save up enough coupons for a wool sweater.

Their circle doesn't lack money, it lacks tickets. As long as you tell them you don't need tickets, people will buy a wool sweater for sixty yuan!

Fifty yuan is a steal!

In other words, they can earn at least 25 yuan for each item they sell!

I'm just a little scared.

Zhou Nuannuan bit her lip. "Sister Yanyan, are you sure everything will be alright? I'm worried that those who didn't get to buy it will report me."

Lu Yan: "If they report you, just deny it. They can't get any evidence, so they won't dare to do anything to you. If you are caught, just say that the person insisted on selling to you, and you didn't want to go along with him. So they held a grudge against you and framed you."

Zhou Nuannuan: "..."

That's so true to Sister Yan.

Zhou Yanxing was persuaded. "Sister Yan, I want to do it too."

"You two can both do it, men's and women's clothing. Let me know when you're sure you want to start, and I'll reserve some for you."

Zhou Yanxing wants to do it all now.

He knew he wasn't very capable; his studies weren't good enough, he couldn't endure the hardships of military service like his eldest and third brothers, nor was he as adept at navigating the officialdom as his second brother.

He will graduate next year, and after graduation he will most likely work in a government agency or go to a machine factory to learn a trade from a master craftsman.

But he didn't want to be stuck in one place.

Doing business with Sister Yan is more liberating.

He knew he still had a lot to learn, so he wasn't in a hurry. He asked Lu Yan for her opinion, "Sister Yan, when is a good time for me to start?"

Lu Yan: "It would be best if it were after the New Year. What you see then are the winter clothes that we have left over. Winter will be over soon, and many people will no longer need them. I will tell you when the spring clothes come out after the New Year."

Zhou Yanxing: "Okay, Sister Yan, I'll do it!"

Zhou Nuannuan blinked. "Then I'll do it too."

She also wanted to make money.

Lu Yan: "Okay."

Zhou Nuannuan looked at Lu Yan, "Sister Yan, you clearly earned your money through your own abilities, why don't you explain that to others?"

The rumors outside are so nasty; they all say that Sister Yanyan raised her child this big by seducing men everywhere.

They also said that Sister Yanyan was a woman He Yuejin kept outside the marriage.

If such harsh words were said to her, she would have been unable to bear it long ago.

Lu Yan smiled and said, "When people can't even solve their basic needs for food and clothing, they realize that reputation is not important at all; what matters is survival."

Actually, things are much better now. When she first transmigrated and her belly started to grow, all sorts of filthy words would get into her ears.

"What others say doesn't matter to me; I just need to live my own life well."

She can't very well go around accusing herself of speculation and profiteering just to protect her reputation.

Zhou Nuannuan and Zhou Yanxing admired Lu Yan more and more. Sister Yanyan is really mentally strong. Whether it is her mental resilience or her work ability, she surpasses many men.

Other women hold up half the sky, but Sister Yanyan, with her own abilities, has created a whole sky for herself and Yaguang.

The three of them returned to the compound at almost four in the morning.

Everyone was fast asleep when the three of them swaggered in through the door.

As soon as Zhou Yanxing opened the living room door and stepped in, he was so startled by the person sitting in the living room that he plopped down on the threshold.

Lu Yan looked at the man sitting by the coal stove warming himself, speechless.

How come Zhou Yanchen catches them red-handed every time they go out to do something bad? How many times has this happened?

Doesn't he ever sleep?!

Zhou Yanchen's gaze swept over them one by one, his voice slightly hoarse, "Where did you go?"

Zhou Yanxing swallowed nervously. "I... I went to the restroom."

With that, Zhou Yanxing quickly stood up and ran upstairs.

Zhou Nuannuan blinked, unable to think of a better reason, "I, I'm going to the toilet with Fourth Brother."

After saying that, they went upstairs hand and foot together.

Lu Yan: "..."

This scene looks so familiar.

Every time she did something bad, she was the only one facing Zhou Yanchen.

Zhou Yanchen looked her over and was relieved only after confirming that she was not injured.

Lu Yan tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, showing no sign of guilt, and smiled at Zhou Yanchen, "Mr. Zhou, you didn't stay up all night to ambush us, did you?"

One time could be considered a coincidence, but if it happens repeatedly, it becomes intentional.

Zhou Yanchen didn't reply to her. He looked down and saw the bracelet on Lu Yan's wrist. "Did you go to the black market?"

Lu Yan slumped her shoulders and casually raised her voice.

A sigh rang out clearly in the quiet night. Zhou Yan closed his eyes briefly, his voice slightly helpless, "Tell me what you want in the future, and I'll buy it for you. That place isn't for you."

Hearing this, Lu Yan slowly looked at him, "Mr. Zhou, you're not my man, why should I tell you what I want?"

Zhou Yanchen's breath hitched, and his throat felt like it was blocked by a heavy object, making it impossible for him to speak.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Yan walked up to him in a few steps, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and winked at him. "Mr. Zhou, I want you. Will you give yourself to me?"

Zhou Yanchen's pupils dilated sharply, his brows furrowing deeply. "Don't talk nonsense, young lady!"

Lu Yan said "Oh," and slowly stood up. "Fine, don't give it to me then."

Lu Yan hummed a song as she went back into her room.

Zhou Yanchen closed his eyes weakly, his hands gripping the armrests of his wheelchair tightly, and sat in the living room for a long time without leaving.

Lu Yan was exhausted. After entering the room, she put away the jade bracelet and went to sleep.

I haven't taken off the little fox pendant since it's hanging around my neck. When spring comes and I can wear lighter clothes, the weather will be better, and no one will report me for wearing a jade pendant.

The next morning, Lu Yan got up on time to make breakfast, while Zhou Yanyan didn't get up until the very last minute before eating.

Looking at Zhou Yanxing's dark circles, Zhou Jianguo asked, "What did you do last night?"

Zhou Yanxing rubbed his sore and itchy eyes, and said without batting an eye, "Dad, I had insomnia last night."

He kept his head down while speaking, not daring to look his third brother in the eye.

Third Brother probably won't expose him.

Zhou Jianguo didn't suspect anything and told him to call Zhou Nuannuan down for dinner.

Jin Aiyun was a little worried, "It's 7:30 and you're still not up. Maybe you're sick. I'll go upstairs and check on you."

Zhou Yanchen glanced at Lu Yan, who was also staying up late.
