Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 54 Rag business

  Until she walked out of the store with 130 Wen in her pocket, Chen couldn’t believe it. The rags that her youngest son picked up without spending money actually made him 60 Wen. This kind of purse takes less time to sew than the purse I usually make.

The fourth aunt and the eldest aunt asked Chen about the origin of his purse as soon as they left the house. Chen had a habit of showing off, so he sold his youngest son on the spot, praising that the youngest son saw the good-looking rags in the cloth shop and picked up a bag. Basket to go home, because where his father bought the cloth, and they gave it to him without asking him for money.

  When the fourth aunt heard this, her eyes were straightened, and she repeatedly urged us to go to the cloth shop to pick up rags. The eldest aunt directly practiced it and walked towards the cloth shop.

   Several sisters-in-law walked quickly to the cloth shop, and asked the shop assistant when they reached the cloth shop.

   "Oh, you also want rags, but you are late. Someone just bought all the rags for two cents." The store clerk replied indifferently.

I'm late?

   Was caught first?

  The little fourth aunt and the eldest aunt were overshadowed and mourned, as if all the white money they got was gone.

   Mrs. Chen didn't care. The last time Zhu Pingan picked up half of the basket of rags, enough to sew dozens of purses. This time the rags have no effect and are not too big, just pick them up next time.

However, Mrs. Chen ignored the shop assistant's business acumen. The shop assistant saw that someone bought rags for two cents, and someone came to ask after a while. It seems that the rags are also useful. The price of the cloth head has to be raised.

  The fourth little aunt and the eldest aunt looked downcastly to find Father Zhu and the fourth uncle to see how much the wild boar had been sold for. When I walked halfway, I saw Zhu Pingan, a chubby girl with a smirking rag head carrying a big basket. The fourth aunt and the eldest aunt were stunned for a moment, it turned out that it was Zhu'er who bought the rags.

Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up immediately. The stinky boy is good. My son has the brains. He bought such a big basket of rags for two cents. How many purses would it take? Each purse costs twenty cents. Mrs. Chen immediately Zhu Ping'an and Zhu Pingchuan felt that they were not carrying a basket of rags, but a basket of copper coins.

   "Hey, what are you doing with so many rags? Go back and give half to your aunt." The fourth aunt didn't feel embarrassed at all, and she wanted half of it when she asked.

  The eldest aunt was not to be outdone, and she also asked for half of her opening.

  Zhu Ping'an was speechless, and you are so kind, each half, then my mother has no rags.

   "No, I'll go back and sell it to my mother to make money to marry a wife." Zhu Pingan relied on being a child, his little head was shaking like a rattle, and he used the excuse of saving money to marry a wife.

  The fourth aunt and the eldest aunt also remembered the matter of the New Year's money last time, and Mrs. Chen couldn't do anything about it.

   "Even your mother, you have to sell it?" The fourth aunt asked loudly in surprise.

  Zhu Ping'an nodded.

"Then you can sell it to us too. You spent two pennies from the cloth shop, how about this, if my aunt gives you four pennies, you can give it to my aunt." The fourth aunt rolled her eyes and immediately opened her mouth to seduce Said, "You can earn two pennies as soon as you sell it, don't be too cost-effective."

   "Hey, my aunt will give you five coins, and you can give it to my aunt." The aunt was not to be outdone.

  Mr. Chen was a little anxious, lest Zhu Ping'an's head would get hot and agree.

   You really know how to settle accounts, Zhu Pingan ignored it, but turned around and raised his head and asked Chen, "Mother, how much did you sell for a purse made of rags?"

   "Twenty yuan, the usual ones only sell for ten yuan." Chen was very excited.

"Oh, two rags can make a purse. I'll sell you two rags for 5 cents. Who told me to know you so well. Mother, you are too. It's not that I want to make money. My daughter-in-law still needs to buy paper to buy Momeng school." Zhu Ping counted with his fingers for a long time, raised his head, and said to the fourth aunt and the eldest aunt in a serious manner.

   Two rags cost 5 coins! The fourth aunt and the eldest aunt immediately opened their mouths. There must be thousands of pieces of rags in that big basket of rags. You bought them for two pennies and sold them hundreds of times! It's too greedy.

  This brat is really lucky, if only he discovered the use of rags earlier. The fourth aunt and the eldest aunt couldn't help thinking that they didn't think that Zhu Ping'an had a brain, they just thought that Zhu Ping'an was lucky.

   Mrs. Chen was happy at first, but when she heard Zhu Ping'an said that she would also accept the money, she immediately lowered her face.

   "I'll ask you to give your mother money, I'll let you." Chen went up to grab Zhu Ping'an, pressed it on his leg and threatened him, threatening to spank his ass.

   "Okay, okay, I won't take your money anymore, I won't take your money anymore." Zhu Pingan quickly surrendered. He didn't want to take Chen's money at first, but just told his fourth aunt and auntie so.

   Mrs. Chen can use the method of scaring and spanking to get Zhu Pingan to submit, but the fourth aunt and the eldest aunt cannot use this method. But to let them spend 5 Wen to buy two pieces of rags, especially knowing that Zhu Pingan's big basket of rags cost only 2 Wen in total, it is even more reluctant.

   Although Mrs. Chen wanted to use all of this big backpack for herself, she also knew that she should not be too greedy, otherwise the relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law would not be good. Besides, as a freshman with a basket on his back, he would have to sew until the Year of the Monkey. Moreover, a gentleman loves money and obtains it in a proper way, so how can he pay attention to his family members.

   "Your aunt and third aunt and fourth aunt cannot collect money." Chen did not let go of Zhu Ping'an, and continued to press on his leg, bluffing.

  The eldest aunt and the others immediately cast grateful eyes on Mrs. Chen.

   "No, I still have to save money to marry a wife."

  Zhu Ping'an was pressed on Chen's lap, and he didn't let go. Anyway, he is a child, and this age is the age to protect things.

   "Let you save, let you save."

  If you have a big fart, you need to save money to marry a wife. Chen is funny and angry, and slaps Zhu Ping'an's little **** twice.

   "It hurts." Zhu Pingan groaned.

   "Do you want more money?" Chen stopped her hands and asked.

"No more, no more." Zhu Pingan yelled again and again, and just figured it out, so big a basket, the eldest aunt and the little fourth aunt are not willing to spend 5 cents to buy two of them, and there are so many The rags can't be finished by the mother and the eldest aunt and their sister-in-law for a while. Collecting money from one's own family is not a good reputation in this era, and it is not the modern age where brothers and sisters settle accounts clearly.

   It's better to get a good reputation and use it as fast as they can. They can't use it up anyway, so why focus on your own family. There are so many women who are good at needlework in the village. I might as well process the extra rags for them, and then collect them in a purse of 10 yuan. Need to run to town, sure would.

  Seeing that Zhu Pingan found his way back, Chen showed a satisfied smile. The eldest aunt and the others also showed smiles, thanking Mrs. Chen very much.

  The whole family is happy.
