A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 165 My cousin is preparing to start a business.

Yun Jiao covered her mouth and nodded, then tiptoed to the middle of them, looking up at them with her big eyes.

His face was full of expressions that said, "Speak quickly, I'm listening."

Wang Hongfei: …………

He couldn't resist squatting down and pinching the little guy's cheek.

"When your uncle makes money, I'll buy you the most beautiful clothes."

Such a beautiful doll, anyone who sees it would want to dress her up nicely.

So there was now a soft, white little dumpling between Yun Chenbei and Wang Hongfei, along with two chubby little dogs, as they continued talking about what had just happened.

Wang Hongfei's purpose in seeking out Yun Chenbei was simple: he had taken a liking to the pretty little things Yun Chenbei had made from seashells and conch shells found on the beach.

Wind chimes, animal-shaped ornaments, various hair clips, bracelets made of stone beads, and so on.

"But I don't have time to do those things right now."

He's learning carving from his master now; he'd get scolded if he wasted time making those kinds of things.

"Do you still have any stock? I heard Chen Nan will take some to school to sell. How can you make money with such small-scale operations? Besides, Chen Nan needs to study. He's doing so well in his studies, so don't hold him back. Let me see your stuff first."

Yun Chenbei nodded: "A little."

But not much.

Yun Chenbei designed and made all of his own products.

Although he didn't do well in school, he was very talented in making handicrafts, and the things he made were unique and could not be found anywhere else.

So even if Wang Hongfei didn't take his products to the north, he could still sell them here.

However, Yun Chenbei is a bit socially awkward and doesn't want to go out to sell things, while Yun Chennan wants to learn.

The children in the family have to go to school and don't have time to help him sell things, so it's even more impossible for the adults to do so.

So even if he could make money, he wouldn't have any money if he couldn't sell his goods because of these reasons.

He also wanted to save up money to buy a camera.

Yun Chenbei led them to his room.

In the new houses now, everyone has their own room.

Then, with practiced ease, he pulled a box out from under the bed.

He made everything that was inside the box.

"And that's all."

The wooden box has compartments of different sizes, each containing items of the same type, all neatly organized.

There was a compartment filled with beautiful stones of various colors. The stones were round, like pearls, as well as five-pointed stars or hearts.

Yun Jiao squatted down and rummaged around, discovering a necklace made of pearls.

Those pearls were taken from oysters; they were irregularly shaped and didn't fetch a good price.

He also combined some particularly small pearls with other items to make bracelets or necklaces, or even small animal eyes on hair clips.

In short, his design was ingenious; you could say he turned waste into treasure.

From Yun Jiao's perspective, at least, these are all very beautiful, and many girls would probably like them.

Wang Hongfei also had a good eye: "These things of yours will definitely be very popular with girls."

"As for these wood carvings, boys will really like them."

Those moving wooden carvings, such as the frog and dog that run on their own when wound up, the dragonfly with its wings fluttering up and down, and the jellyfish with its tentacles twisting on the stand.

The jellyfish one is really quite beautiful.

"This is for Jiaojiao."

Yun Chenbei picked up the elegant and beautiful jellyfish, whose tentacles twitched as if it were alive.

Wang Hongfei exclaimed in exasperation, "This definitely costs no less than ten yuan!"

Yun Chenbei remained unmoved.

Wang Hongfei: ...Okay. Yun Jiao poked the jellyfish with her finger: "Brother, this is beautiful, you're so amazing."

Yun Chenbei's eyes lit up slightly: "This is a new technique that my master taught me!"

Wang Hongfei: "I'll take the rest of the things. I'm going to Hong Kong. I'll probably pass through here again on my way north. Try to make as much stuff as possible. I'll take it north and sell it. I'll only take 30% of the cost as a service fee, and the rest 70% is yours."

Yun Chenbei thought about the money he had saved; he was almost able to buy a camera.

So he nodded.

"it is good."

"You need to get me a ticket for a camera."

Wang Hongfei nodded: "No problem."

After they had discussed it, Wang Hongfei reminded them again, "You absolutely mustn't let my mother know."

Yun Jiao asked in confusion, "Why?"

That little girl with her head tilted was incredibly cute, and Wang Hongfei, who was still unmarried and childless, was charmed once again. If he could have such a beautiful daughter, finding a wife and having children wouldn't be so bad.

"Because in my mother's eyes, this is speculation and profiteering, and she won't allow it."

“Sigh, no matter how many times I tell her that the national policy has been relaxed and that selling things on the street is allowed and you won’t get arrested, she just won’t allow it.”

"Actually, I know that Dad and Mom are scared."

"You knew you originally had a second maternal uncle, right?"

He asked Yun Chenbei.

Yun Chenbei shook his head; he really didn't know.

Wang Hongfei skillfully took out a cigarette, and just as he put it to his lips, he suddenly realized that Yun Jiao was still there, so he put the cigarette down again.

"That's true, my family doesn't allow me to talk about this."

“Our family is large and poor. In the past, most of our family members could not get enough to eat. My third brother and fourth sister, who is your mother, almost starved to death. My second brother tried to speculate in the black market.”

He successfully brought food home a few times at first, but soon the black market was discovered. In his panic, my second brother was pushed into the river. It was the coldest time of winter, and he...froze to death.

Therefore, his parents were very averse to speculation and profiteering; to be precise, they were afraid of it.

Yun Chenbei hadn't expected such a thing to happen.

Wang Hongfei patted him on the shoulder: "But I'm not willing to be stuck in that remote countryside for the rest of my life. No matter what, I want to go out and try my luck. Otherwise, when I get old and think about it, I'll probably regret it for the rest of my life."

Yun Chenbei nodded: "I understand. Uncle, please be careful."

"Does your cousin need money? Jiaojiao can lend you some."

Yun Jiao was playing with the jellyfish when she suddenly said to Wang Hongfei.

Wang Hongfei laughed: "Do you even have a dollar on you, little one?"

Yun Jiao pouted, "Who do you think you are!"

She immediately took out two yuan from her small bag and slapped it in front of him, her chin slightly raised.

“I have money, Jiaojiao is a little rich girl now.”

Wang Hongfei, holding the two yuan, exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, there really is!"

Two yuan isn't much, but it's a lot for a three-year-old child.

Yun Chenbei: "My sister is rich; she's the wealthiest in the family."

Yun Jiao crossed her arms and said, "Yes, I'm a little rich girl with over a thousand yuan."

Wang Hongfei looked at his nephew and then at Yun Jiao.

What?
Did you hear it right?

Yun Jiao: "Uncle, you wait."

Yun Jiao ran to find Grandma Yun; all her money was with Grandma Yun.

With the money she received from selling pearls again, Yun Jiao now has assets of 1605 yuan.
