After being abandoned by the educated youth, I became rich in the 80s

The more Li Xia's sister-in-law thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

Thinking about what Li Xia said, that hair band could be sold for one dollar each, she became tempted.

My eyes fell on Li Xia's head. The yellow hairband with small floral patterns tied on her hair looked like a flower, so beautiful.

"Third sister, the hair band on your head is the kind that is sold, right?"

Li Xia nodded, tilted her head and showed the hairband to her brother and sister-in-law.

"Look, isn't it beautiful?"

“It’s so beautiful. Third sister, I’ve never worn such a beautiful hairband before. You’re lucky to have married into Lanjia Village and be able to have such a nice hairband to wear. Unlike me, I have nothing…” Li Xia’s sister-in-law looked at the hairband eagerly and said sourly.

This made Li Xia feel uncomfortable, and she wanted to take the thing off and give it to her as she did in the past.

It’s just that she likes this hairband very tightly and is reluctant to do so.

"Oh, look at who I married. He couldn't even afford to buy me a scrunchie."

Li Xia's sister-in-law noticed Li Xia's reluctance and immediately covered her face with her hands and pretended to cry. She saw her mother-in-law walking towards her out of the corner of her eye.

Before Li Xia could say anything, her mother spoke quickly.

"Look at you, you are so ignorant. It's just a hair band, a weird thing. What's wrong with your sister-in-law wanting to wear it? You treat it as a treasure."

Li Xia was the one who listened to her mother the most. Hearing what her mother said, she had no choice but to wash her hands, and after drying them, she reluctantly took off the hairband and handed it to her younger brother and sister-in-law.

"Then I'll lend it to you to take a look. You have to return it to me..."

"Oh, Third Sister, you are so stingy. I will give it back to you."

Li Xia's sister-in-law immediately snatched the hairband from her, but she didn't wear it. Instead, she turned the hairband over and over.

They had just finished washing the dishes. There was oil in the food today, so Li Xia's sister-in-law waved her hairband without wiping her greasy and wet hands, and lifted up the beautiful fabric, looking at and studying the contents.

While flipping through the boxes, he said, "This thing looks so simple, I can make it with just a little effort, but you're selling it for one dollar each, you guys are really heartless."

Li Xia looked at her precious hairband with heartache, seeing it being so ruined by her sister-in-law, and said quickly.

"Wash your hands, they're dirty."

"This thing is simple to make, but the fabric is not simple, that's why it's expensive. Don't you see this fabric? A skirt made of it can be sold for thirty or forty yuan in the supply and marketing cooperative."

Hearing Li Xia's words, Li Xia's sister-in-law raised her eyebrows, not knowing whether they took it to heart.

This hairband requires no craftsmanship and you can tell how it is made by just taking a quick look. But she doesn't understand how it can become so beautiful just by sewing it casually.

Looking at the brightly colored hairband in her hand, which was yellow with orange and printed with small flowers, she was moved.

He grabbed the hair tie tightly, looked at Li Xia, and opened and closed his mouth as if he wanted to take the hair tie for himself.

"Oh, it's dirty. Third sister, you don't want it anymore. Or give it to me. It's dirty and it won't be easy for you to wear it."

"No, this is mine."

When Li Xia heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she quickly reached out to snatch the hairband. Li Xia's sister-in-law didn't know what she was thinking and she threw the hairband lightly into Li Xia's arms.

"Okay, okay, look at your treasure, it looks like you really spent a dollar to buy it."

Li Xia quickly took the hairband, looked down at the half-wet hairband that smelled of oil and vegetables, her eyes red.

"It's none of your business whether I buy it or not. If Lan Xin is given to me, then it's mine."

Looking at Li Xia's useless appearance, the sister-in-law secretly rolled her eyes.

"Third sister, I'm not saying this, aren't you and your sister-in-law a family? She's divorced now, her son is with the man, and she only has two daughters. From now on, your son will break the pot for her."

"Now, look what she has done. She keeps all the money she earns for herself and treats you like fellow villagers. She just gave you five dollars to fool you. Aren't you sisters-in-law angry for being so polite?

Li Xia lowered her head and said nothing, and it was unclear whether she heard it or not.

Li Xia's sister-in-law increased the heat.

"You are her sister-in-law. In Lanjia Village, the three of them have to rely on you. Look how distant she is. She is afraid that you will steal her money."

"Third sister, Lan Xin doesn't take you seriously. Tong Xing and I are different. We treat you as our dear sister."

Li Xia's sister-in-law stared at Li Xia, and seeing that she was about to waver, she quickly continued speaking.

"Third sister, do you know where we bought the rubber bands here? If we make this hairband and sell it, I will definitely give you half of it."

She just took a look and found that this can be found in the fabric supply and marketing cooperative mall outside, but the things like rubber bands in it are not easy to get.

I don't know where Lan Xin got it from, but she actually found something to replace rubber bands. The rubber bands wrapped with a circle of wool in the supply and marketing cooperative sell for two for one dollar. This thing must be cheaper than rubber bands.

Li Xia's sister-in-law thought, if she could get this thing that could replace the rubber band, she would also make this hair band and sell it. At one dollar a piece, the money she made would be like robbery.

Na Lanxin, a divorced woman who couldn't hold on to a man, could make money, so she was no worse than her.

If Lan Xin can earn this money, then naturally she can too.

Li Xia understood what her sister-in-law was thinking. She opened her eyes wide. She didn't expect that she was so bold as to want to steal business from Lan Xin.

This is not an easy thing to make.

When she thought about what the rubber band was made of, her face turned red.

When they were doing it before, the sisters-in-law had agreed with Lan Xin that they would only do it this time, and would not do it again after they were done with these hair bands. Otherwise, if people knew what they were made of, their whole family would not be able to hold their heads up in Lanjia Village.

Now, her parents have also become interested and want to get involved in this business, without even considering whether it is easy to do or not.

"Don't even think about it. We can't do this." Li Xia said stubbornly with a red face.

As he turned around to leave, Li Xia's sister-in-law behind him immediately started crying.

"Third sister, you know this too. Our life is hard. The children don't have enough to eat. They keep saying they are hungry and want meat. How can we afford to buy meat for them? Third sister, you are their dear aunt. Can you bear to see them like this?"

"Your Li family had four daughters before you had this one son. Tongxing, Baoer and I are supposed to support you in the future. But now our family is poor and our children can't even get enough to eat. How can we support you?"

Li Xia stopped and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

But if you really ask her to tell you the material used to make the rubber band, she can't say it.

"mom!!!"

Just when Li Xia was in a dilemma, a gust of wind rushed in, bringing with it the sound of crying. Li Xia was startled, thinking that her daughter had been wronged.

When she looked closely, she was relieved to find that it was her niece.

At the same time, the girl rushed to Li Xia's sister-in-law, crying and shouting.

"Mom, Sister Shanshan bullied me!"

"what?"
