90s: Koi beauty reborn and became rich

Hu Cuicui naturally thought the same thing as Yi Cong. Coincidentally, Chen Feng had also found a part-time job and was in a good mood. Moreover, he had rushed from the mountains early in the morning and was already starving, so he didn't refuse.

The three of them immediately packed up their mountain product stall and went into a nearby noodle restaurant.

The aroma of bone soup and shacha sauce kept penetrating their noses, and the three of them found a table in the corner and sat down.

These days, everyone is short of food, especially people in the mountains. Even if they raise pigs, rabbits, chickens, ducks, etc., they are reluctant to eat them. They just hope to raise them and sell them for some money to celebrate the New Year.

Each of them ate a big bowl of pork liver noodles, and all three of them were sweating.

"Brother Feng, what kind of job did you find?" Hu Cuicui asked casually as she chewed slowly, enjoying the pork liver that she hadn't eaten for a long time.

Chen Feng was devouring a crispy guangbing (a lightly-sliced ​​cake) with great relish, a smile breaking out on his dark face. "A pharmacy is hiring for part-time work, and they'll pay 120 yuan a month! I figured it wouldn't interfere with my autumn rice planting, so I agreed and will start tomorrow."

Compared with the salaries of those who eat government food, the salary of 120 yuan is indeed not high, but for Chen Feng's small family, it is already a good income, which can buy sixty or seventy bowls of pork liver noodles!

Pharmacy?

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Yi Congxin was silent for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Cousin-in-law, which pharmacy?"

"Call...call Yan Ji."

Chen Feng thought for a moment and said the name of the pharmacy in a loud voice.

He wasn't very literate, having learned most of his education in the army. That morning, when he went in to apply for a job, he nearly mispronounced the name of the pharmacy. Now, in front of his college-aged cousin, he felt like he was trying to put on a good show.

Yi Congxin raised his eyebrows, there is always a way out.

"Cousin-in-law, is it the Yan Ji restaurant at the east end of Rongshui Street?" She confirmed it again to be on the safe side.

"That's right, isn't it? How did you know?" Chen Feng and Hu Cuicui looked at Yi Congxin at the same time, and noticed the strangeness on her face.

Yi Cong thought for a moment, then lowered her voice and told the story of her relationship with Yan Ji.

Hu Cuicui had always been very kind to her cousin. She was already furious when she heard half of what she was saying. She slammed the table and said, "You are so evil! Your aunt is bullying an honest person!"

Congxin's father passed away. Did Yan Silan feel that there was no one at home to support her cousin? She was just asking for trouble!

Hu Cuicui wanted to rush to Yan Ji, slap Yan Silan in the face, and smash her shop to vent her anger.

She has had a bad temper since she was a child. If she said she would smash the store, she really would.

Let’s see if Yan Silan dares to do it again in the future!

She turned and glared at Chen Feng, "Brother Feng, we won't go to such a rotten-hearted store!"

Chen Feng was also furious, with the veins in his neck throbbing. He was about to agree to his wife's request, but Yi Congxin stopped him.

"Cousin-in-law, don't rush to quit your job. Can you... do me a favor?" she asked.

Chen Feng put down the mooncake in his hand, his face became serious, and he replied, "What can I help you with? Tell me."

Yi Congxin looked around and found that no one in the restaurant paid attention to their table.

"Brother-in-law, we should make money. It's only when we earn money from people like them that we feel relieved. But while we're making money, can you help me find out what Yan Ji is up to?"

Yi Congxin whispered what she had learned from Zheng Donggen.

Chen Feng's training in the army was to serve the people. He knew that even a beating wouldn't satisfy a black-hearted person like Yan Silan. But someone like his cousin who refused to submit was truly courageous! Well done!

He was so righteous that he couldn't suppress his anger and agreed without thinking.

"Brother-in-law, protecting yourself from being exposed is the most important thing. We can make money from her in any way we can. As for anything wrong, just tell me privately." Yi Congxin advised.

In the previous life, Yi Shen ran his own business from the heart and experienced a lot of vicious competition. It was a routine operation for him to place one or two "commercial spies" in the rival company.

This is what she learned from her opponent back then, which is called "give and take action as you would like to be treated."

In this life, it seems that I have to practice these tricks in Yan Silan's shop first.

She then turned to look at Hu Cuicui and said, "Cousin, if you have more time recently, could you help me sell medicine? I will definitely pay you well."

Hu Cuicui felt sorry for her cousin. Besides, isn’t it normal for relatives to help each other?

She agreed without hesitation: "Let's not talk about this between sisters. I'll help you sell the medicine, and you can go about your business."

With two helpers at once, Yi Cong felt relieved.

Her cousin's husband was a scout. He had excellent reconnaissance skills and techniques, and he also had a sense of justice, so she was completely assured.

My cousin is also a hardworking and honest person. She divided the work of selling medicine out because she wanted to use more advanced scientific technology to make better medicinal materials.

She planned to sell the prepared medicinal herbs to Zheng Donggen. Not only could they be sold at a higher price than fresh herbs, she was confident that the medicine she prepared would help Zheng Donggen gain a good reputation at the exchange meeting, as a thank you gift to Zheng Donggen for helping her pass on the message.

Yi Congxin felt relieved. Not only did he pay for the noodles in advance, he also bought three servings of ginger duck to take away, and gave one package to his cousin and his wife.

After watching the couple leave, Yi Congxin bought some more tools for making medicine. Some of them were hard to find, so she wasted some time before returning home with a full basket on her back.

It was just after 4pm when I got home.

It was not yet time for dinner, but the sound of simmering food could be heard from the kitchen, and the aroma of meat and the smell of cooking oil filled the air.

Yi Congxin walked lightly, glanced towards the kitchen, and was speechless for a while.

Sister-in-law Wu Guiyue is frying meat.

When the meat was cooked, she didn't add any vegetables to it. Instead, she scooped out all the meat and put it in a bowl.

I watched her pick up the two fattest pieces of pork belly and put them in her mouth. She chewed them hard for a few times before covering the bowl with a piece of cloth and placing it in an unused iron pot deep in the cupboard and closing the lid.

Eat alone?

It's better to follow your heart and not know whether to laugh or cry.

She knew that people were short of money these days, and all the money her eldest brother earned was in the hands of her eldest sister-in-law. She would not stop her if her eldest sister-in-law wanted to eat some meat.

If you like to eat alone, then eat it.

As long as this sister-in-law doesn't let her adoptive mother go hungry or cold in terms of food and clothing, she won't say a word.

She didn't want to have any more direct conflicts with her family.

Without looking back, she went to her foster mother's house nonchalantly, took out a package of ginger duck from her backpack, and gently placed it on the table.

Yi Congxin returned to the room she shared with her younger sister, intending to put the money away before going to the dilapidated temple to look for the old man. Unexpectedly, she felt under the mat...

The money is gone!

She earned a lot of money a few days ago and divided it into three parts. She kept some of the change on her body, wrapped several 100-yuan bills in oil paper and put them under the water tank, and wrapped three 50-yuan bills in red cloth and put them under the mat at the other end where she slept, in case of emergency.
