The old woman became rich by relying on the supermarket instead of selling her granddaughter
Chapter 33: The feeling of going to work
Meng Lan didn't come yesterday, but Hao Ren was waiting impatiently. He almost stared a hole in the gate of the academy.
Seeing Meng Lan coming today, Hao Ren was happy but at the same time he did not forget to complain to Meng Lan a little.
"Auntie, you really made me wait so long! Why didn't you come yesterday? I missed the pork elbow rice all day but didn't get to eat it. Ever since I ate the pork elbow rice you made, I don't like to eat anything else."
Not sure if it was her illusion, but Meng Lan seemed to hear a hint of resentment from Hao Ren's words?
Meng Lan didn't expect that in just a few days, she would gain such a loyal customer. She was happy but also felt a sense of urgency. She had lived a leisurely life for so many years and now she was experiencing the feeling of going to work again.
After graduating from college, she didn't just open a supermarket and lie down. She originally wanted to create value through hard work.
So she submitted her resume, found a job, and worked in the company for five days, five full days!
Why five-day shifts? Because when recruiting, the HR didn’t say that this job didn’t include weekends off, so she happily went to work.
From Monday to Friday, Meng Lan was exhausted and had a sore back. She felt like all the energy in her body was drained after going to work.
After finally finishing work on Friday, Meng Lan went home and planned to lie down on the bed. Just as she was about to sleep soundly, a message suddenly came on her phone.
Meng Lan opened her phone and saw that the company supervisor had told her in the group to arrive at the company half an hour earlier in the morning to attend the morning meeting.
Meng Lan looked at the news with her brows furrowed so much that she could almost pinch five flies to death.
So she picked up her phone and started typing, asking her supervisor what was going on, wasn't it a two-day weekend off?
The supervisor started to mock her, saying that young people should not always think about resting, but should work hard while they are young, because hard work will be rewarded and only those who work hard will win.
Meng Lan asked again, "Will you charge more?"
The supervisor was very sarcastic and said that young people should not be too materialistic. The company was giving them the opportunity to learn and they should just be happy since they were not asked to pay tuition fees.
Meng Lan got angry immediately after reading what her supervisor said.
No wonder this company has been recruiting so many people. After all, everyone is not stupid. They are paid little but work hard, and they think they are the ancestors. Who can serve them? Such a company will go bankrupt sooner or later.
So Meng Lan got angry and quit the group, blocked the group, and turned off her phone, all in one go.
After doing all this, she just covered her head with the quilt and fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already Saturday afternoon.
Meng Lan turned on her phone and found a bunch of missed calls and text messages. They were all from the team leader. It was another series of blocking. She was so busy blocking the supervisor that she forgot to block the team leader! This was really her mistake.
Without a job, Meng Lan felt that the whole world was brighter and even the air was fresher.
The next Monday came, and Meng Lan remembered that the company had not paid her for the five days. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She went straight to sit at the company gate and threatened that she would sit there for a day as long as the company did not pay her.
Anyway, she has plenty of time! She is not short of money either, so she can spend some time with them.
The company was also scared when they saw her relentless attitude. Finally, the supervisor came out with a dark face and stuffed a stack of cash into Meng Lan's pocket, which was her salary for five days.
After doing all this, Meng Lanton felt refreshed. After resting for a while and healing the trauma brought to her by the company, she opened a supermarket because she was too bored and didn't want to go to work.
When she was about to forget what it felt like to go to work...Hao Ren reminded her once again.
Meng Lan is now feeling mixed emotions. She is happy that her family business is booming, but she is worried that she may not be able to lie down for the time being.
In this academy alone, there are so many mouths crying out for food, waiting for her to feed them.
Meng Lan came back to her senses, put on a standard business smile, and explained to Hao Ren.
"Something happened at home yesterday, so we were delayed for a day. If nothing else happens in the future, we will come to town every day."
When Hao Ren heard that he had to come only when there was nothing wrong, he started to panic.
"Auntie, if you have any problems in the future, you can tell me and see if I can help. After all, eating...making money is a big deal, and we can't delay it."
The scholars around him also agreed with Hao Ren's words.
If Meng Lan was gone, where would they go to buy delicious and affordable pork elbow rice!
Soon, the group of scholars looted all the goods in their cart, and Meng Lan's purse became bulging. In addition to carrying the goods for her eldest son and daughter-in-law, Meng Lan also bought a stack of oil paper, thinking of using it to package the sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Everything that should be sold was sold, and everything that should be bought was bought. Meng Lan and the other two went to the town gate first to see if they could wait for the three people from the Hu family.
Maybe it was because it was the first day for the three of them to sell, so they didn’t sell as fast as Meng Lan and the others. Meng Lan waited for a long time before Meng Chuncao and the other two finally arrived.
But judging by the expressions on their faces, it must be selling very well.
Sure enough, as soon as Meng Chuncao came over, she happily took Meng Lan's hand and whispered in Meng Lan's ear with a look of surprise on her face.
"Lanlan, we actually sold more than 800 coins today. That's more than 800 coins!"
Meng Chuncao was very excited, but she did not forget that wealth should not be revealed to others, so she lowered her voice and whispered to Meng Lan.
Meng Lan had experienced this kind of joy a few days ago, but she still cooperated with Meng Chuncao, smiling and nodding.
Hu Xingwang pushed the cart and followed them towards the village. He looked at his own mother holding Meng Lan's arm intimately and walking all the way until they had to separate when they returned home. He felt confused.
When did her mother have such a good relationship with the old lady from the He family next door?
He had never seen how close the two of them were in all these years? Even when they passed each other on the road, the old lady of the He family would roll her eyes at his mother. He really didn't understand...
Forget it, as long as they can make money, they didn't expect that they could sell it for more than 800 coins a day just by selling it, without having to do it themselves. After deducting the 600 coins cost to the He family, they can still have 200 coins left for themselves.
It would be great if I could earn more than two hundred coins every day. Thinking of this, Hu Xingwang felt full of strength and he also understood his mother's change.
Who would think money is hot?
Meng Lan brought back oil-paper bags and taught He Zhaodi's three granddaughters how to fold paper boxes and roast chestnuts.
He Zhaodi and He Pandyi learned very quickly, but He Lianlian was a little dull and slow to learn things. Fortunately, He Zhaodi and He Pandyi could teach her after they had learned, so Meng Lan didn't have to worry too much.
Today they went up the mountain with their friends from the Hu family and picked two baskets of chestnuts, peeling off the prickly shells.
After Meng Lan came back, they were not idle either. They used a knife to cut a hole in the shell of each chestnut before dark.
He Zhaodi originally wanted to fry both baskets of chestnuts overnight, but He Pandidi felt that if they got up early in the morning to fry them, the chestnuts would still be hot when they arrived in town.
After some argument, the two sisters finally decided to do as He Panddi said and fry chestnuts the next morning.
