Reborn 99 Days Later, Becoming a Landlady and Getting into Tsinghua and Peking Universities

A hint of satisfaction flashed across Hua Yuanqing's face.

But the Liang sisters insisted: "No, you have to pay."

Liang Yili thought for a moment and said, "After all, crayfish are meant to be sold for money, so they have to be cleaned thoroughly."

I can only make demands after you've received the money.

Let me be clear from the start: if it's not cleaned properly or not handled well, I will point it out and make it redoed.

Seeing this, Yan Dahua tugged at Hua Yuanqing's sleeve from behind and shook her head.

Hua Yuanqing looked at the two sisters, who were determined, and then glanced at her daughter-in-law beside them:

"Okay, let's not talk about 4 yuan, that number sounds unlucky, 3 yuan is fine."

Liang Yili had to rush to the county town to inspect the goods, so she didn't dwell on it any longer.

Thinking he could make up for it elsewhere later, he left.

Hua Yuanqing turned to his family and instructed them: "What happened today, once it leaves this door, is not to be talked about by anyone else!"

If people knew that they could earn 3 yuan just by washing shrimp, they'd definitely get envious.

Yan Dahua reprimanded her daughter-in-law from the side: "This is family!"

Pear was trying to help us out; otherwise, why would we need to spend 3 yuan to hire someone to clean the shrimp?

"Just shout it out in the village, and people will fight tooth and nail over a single yuan!"

Yan Moli nodded vigorously, looking quite serious: "Mother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

After saying that, he hurriedly called his two sons over: "Neither of you are allowed to go out and talk nonsense, do you hear me?"

The two of them pursed their lips tightly and made a zipping motion with their hands over their mouths.

"Mom, I'm going to catch shrimp first thing tomorrow morning!"

"I can help wash the shrimp too!"

My cousin brought over some pork yesterday, and he ate a big bowl of it each over the past two nights. It was so delicious that they almost swallowed their tongues.

Yan Moli thought about it for a moment and decided not to take advantage of the young girl.

"Mom, what size shoes do Pear and Peach wear? I'd like to make them a pair of cloth shoes, is that alright?"

……

The factory where Wang Xingzi worked was once a well-known large factory in the county.

However, in the past two years, with the impact of the economic market.

People's demand for beauty is increasing.

The factory's inability to keep up with the times in terms of aesthetic vision and its limited product range led to its gradual decline.

But Liang Yili knew that this was just a harbinger of a wave of layoffs.

In a few years, more and more factories will close down or merge, resulting in a large number of laid-off and unemployed workers.

At the appointed time, Wang Xingzi, covered in sweat, rushed over.

She glanced around warily, then pulled Liang Yili to a secluded corner and whispered:

"The price has been agreed upon."

"If you can really bring 200 towels at once, I'll give you 3 cents per towel."

Liang Yili raised an eyebrow: "One cent a piece."

Wang Xingzi's heart tightened, and she glanced at Liang Yili suspiciously.

Did she find out that the factory was offering her a bottom price of 1 cents per piece?

Liang Yili smiled, her confidence growing stronger.

Just kidding, hahaha.

Aunt Xingzi, please don't mention 3 cents a piece anymore, and I won't even mention 1 cent.

How about we compromise? 18 cents a piece, how about that?

Seeing that Wang Xingzi remained silent, Liang Yili continued:

"The towels in the convenience store only sell for 5 cents each, and ours are even defective. At most, we can sell them for a little over 2 cents."

But I have to bear the risks, and I also have to be responsible for transportation and labor costs. If you're eating meat, you have to let me have some soup too, right?

I'll only continue to buy from you next time if I can make money, right?

Wang Xingzi thought it made sense.

If each towel is 18 cents, she can only earn 16 yuan from 200 towels.

"Take another 300!"

Liang Yili looked troubled: "500 towels at once? That's too many!"

"Only 500! If you can get 500, I'll give you 18 cents per piece!"

Liang Yili was secretly overjoyed, but feigned hesitation on the surface:

"Alright then~ But I really can't carry that many other things, you have to give me a fair price!"

Afterwards, the two went back and forth, and Liang Yili took 1000 pairs of socks at 5 cents a pair.

Defective fabric costs 5 cents per foot.

Liang Yili chose two colors that are easy to clean and bought two of each.

One horse was 40 feet long, and four horses were 160 feet long. It cost Liang Yili 80 yuan.

500条毛巾进货90元，1000双袜子进货50块，再加上瑕疵布的80元。

Liang Yili spent most of the 300 yuan she brought.

Wang Xingzi mentally calculated the money she would make from this deal.

When I looked at Liang Yili again, I felt like she was bathed in golden light.

His eyes darted around a few times: "Little girl, I have two extra sheets here, but they're a bit flawed. Do you want them?"

The bed sheets were specially given to her by her second aunt to maintain good relations with clients.

Fearing Liang Yili might misunderstand, Wang Xingzi quickly added, "It's free, I'll give it to you for free."

Seeing Liang Yili smiling at her, Wang Xingzi smiled back:

"Next time you need more goods, be sure to come to me!"

As she spoke, Wang Xingzi took a bed sheet from the basket behind her and unfolded it.

Do you have an old-fashioned pure cotton bed sheet with light red peony flowers printed on it?

That's right, what Wang Xingzi is holding is this "national bed sheet" that carries the old memories of a generation.

Even with her eyes strained from staring, Liang Yili couldn't spot any flaws in the bed sheet.

After a moment's thought, she guessed Wang Xingzi's true intentions.

"Okay, I will definitely come to find you as soon as possible."

Wang Xingzi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With the remaining 80 yuan, Liang Yili went to Meizi and got some of the cheapest toys, spending 20 yuan of that.

The remaining 60 yuan was kept for change and emergency use.

The sunlight was scorching hot, casting its rays everywhere and baking the earth until it emitted a slightly burnt smell.

Under the shade of the trees, waves of heat rippled through the air, making the whole world seem lazy and sweltering.

Liang Yili looked up at the sun high in the sky and roughly estimated the time.

"I need to find a way to buy a watch quickly, it's too inconvenient to check the time without a watch."

When the sun is out, it's fine; you can judge the approximate time based on the sun's position.

But what if it's cloudy?

If you can't afford a mechanical watch, you can still count on an electronic watch, right?

But she has searched all over the wholesale market these past few days and still hasn't seen any electronic watches.

As Liang Yili muttered to herself, she rode her bicycle home along the shady path.

Because I have to go out and set up my stall before 4:30 pm.

The three of them, grandfather, grandmother, and grandson, would finish dinner around 3 or 4 p.m.

When Liang Yili rushed home, Liang Ruotao had just set the food on the table.

"You're back? You must be sweltering in the heat."

Hearing the noise in the kitchen, Hua Yuansheng picked up a gourd ladle, scooped water from the water vat, and carried it to the eaves.

Looking at Liang Yili's sunburnt face, a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes.

"Come wash your face!"

"Oh, thank you, Grandpa!"

Liang Yili splashed two handfuls of water on her face and let out a comfortable sigh.

"Grandpa, you should be familiar with the roads around here, right?"
